舊金山更換新式「需求決定價格型」路邊停車收費器

舊金山更換新式「需求決定價格型」路邊停車收費器: "

就是上圖這個玩意，舊金山將會陸續替換掉現有的 5,000 餘組收費器。它不僅可以接受信用卡、預付卡付費，更重要的是這個新式的收費機還會統計當地停車位剩餘的數量，動態調整停車費用。也就是說當空位太多時( 供給過剩 )，停車費就會降到每小時 0.25 美元；而當車位供不應求時，也可能會逐步上漲到每小時 6 美元，藉著高貴的收費來提昇流動率。由於系統會偵測剩餘空位，因此這些資訊也能夠傳送上網。換句話說，開車族在出門前就能夠先行查詢當地的停車資訊，如果已經飽和的話就別去繳貴貴的停車費跟其它車擠車了！

英特爾矽光技術再突破，傳輸速度達50Gbps

英特爾矽光技術再突破，傳輸速度達50Gbps: "英特爾實驗室日前開發出50Gbps的矽光連線技術，以矽元件為基礎，加上混合矽晶雷射技術的元件，用光束取代電子傳遞資料"

夠勁爆的，這代表啥呢? 機器人的頭腦將提升50-500倍? 未來會怎樣你永遠想不到，但請趕快飛入雲端的世界吧!

Salut! Willkommen! Benvenuto! ¡Bienvenido! Google Search by Voice in French, German, Italian and Spanish

Salut! Willkommen! Benvenuto! ¡Bienvenido! Google Search by Voice in French, German, Italian and Spanish: "

Here’s a test for the German speakers out there: which is faster...saying Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkung (German for speed limit), or typing the same query character-by-character?

Voice has always been the most natural way to interact with a phone -- speaking is typically faster and easier than typing. We first developed Search by voice for English, and then for Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. Today we’re excited to welcome speakers of French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Images of Google Search by Voice in Italian (Android), German (iPhone), Spanish (BlackBerry)

Our goal is to bring Google Search by voice to speakers of all languages. We follow a rigorous process to add each new language or dialect. Working directly with native speakers in each country, we spend weeks collecting spoken utterances to create the specific models which power the service. Our helpers are asked to read popular queries in their native tongue, in a variety of acoustic conditions such as in restaurants, out on busy streets, and inside cars. We also construct, for each language, a vocabulary of over one million recognizable words. It’s no small feat, but we love doing it.

Note that our new language models are designed for accents from Spain, France, Italy, and Germany. If you speak one of the new languages with another accent (for example, German in Austria, French in Switzerland, or Spanish in Mexico), Search by voice may not work so well for you.

How you get started with Google Search by voice depends on what kind of phone you have. If your phone runs Android 2.1 or later, and you have the Quick Search Box installed, all you have to do is tap the microphone icon to start a voice-powered search. iPhone and BlackBerry users who already have Google Mobile App installed can enable voice search by selecting the new languages from the settings panel within the app.

If you have Android 1.6 or 2.1 (Donut or Eclair), and you have already installed the Search by voice application, starting later today voice search will return recognition results for French, German, Italian or Spanish if your phone has one of those languages chosen in ‘Language and keyboard’ settings. If you do not have the Search by voice application, you can install it from Android Market on your phone - search for ‘voice search‘. This application is only available in the Android Markets for France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

To get Google Mobile App for iPhone, search for ‘Google Mobile App’ in the App Store or follow this link. BlackBerry and Nokia S60 users should visit m.google.com using their phone’s browser.

Learn more at http://mobile.google.com and select your country in the footer.

So if you speak French, Italian, German, Spanish, grab your phone and bid Google Search by voice a hearty Salut! Willkommen! Benvenuto! ¡Bienvenido!
