Hotmail is so apparently poorly managed. I don't understand why a myriad of people are still using it. Over time, it will wither, anyways.

Gmail by Google is the way to go.

I really think that the problem of information overload is formidable and consequential.

從太平洋中國到大西洋加拿大的洲際長程，

我的身軀是花費十幾個小時嗖地一下子飛過來的，我的心、腦、舌卻是花費多年一步又一步地走過來的。

I suppose that Beijing has become a forbidding mega city because of its extremely high housing costs, annoying traffic jams, and so on.

Perhaps I am lucky in that I came from China to Canada to seek my future, although many people think that great opportunities exist in China.

所謂的"客戶黏性" (Customer Stickiness) 是一個比較有意思的東西。

I admire the level of capabilities an individual can achieve at which he cuts through problem solving like a hot knife through butter.

Shrews are a dangerous category of women.

The Shins' lyrics are so esoteric and gnomic.

They are poems, in fact.

Web 2.0 services have to set their basic services at free of charge as trolls.

It seems that more and more aspiring Chinese financiers' hiveminds want to study Financial Mathematics.

Wow. A grandly refreshing picture.

Note that the photograph "was taken on June 21, 2009 in Battle Creek, Michigan, US, using a Nikon D90", as stated at http://goo.gl/5QqO6 .

The piled snow on the balcony looks pretty like a loaf, in the pleasant breeze.

There are a great many shrewd businesspersons out there. But are all of them really sagacious?

Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of President Abraham Lincoln, was depicted as shrewish.

Is there an easy way to retrieve the history of the "Find" action in the Chrome browser?

The gait which Anglo Saxon people do things with tends to be understated.

孟郊之“月明直見嵩山雪”

“
天津橋下冰初結 

洛陽陌上人行絕 

榆柳蕭疏樓閣閒 

月明直見嵩山雪
”

--孟郊之《洛橋晚望》，未錄入《唐詩三百首》

“孟郊（751～814年），中國唐代詩人。... 孟浩然孫。”
- Excerpted from http://goo.gl/VKERK

The number of people one loves is much greater than that one trusts, in the Western world.

台灣演員阮經天在電影《艋舺》中的演技比較有愛的說。

Slashing snow

The winds blow
The street lamps hang low
I look out of the window

I don't know. Some of China's IT journalists seem to be a little blithe in their writing. Well, anyways, things with high hopes sell best.

The online searching expeditions take much time and intellectual resources and the like.

It is pivotal that there is a civil market of ideas, which compete with each other.

'Blissful' is a very rich word.

Blissful treatment of people leads to nowhere.

In my young years, I was ignorant but not blithe.

It seems that China's video streaming websites, such as tudou.com, are bedrid due to their lagging in technological capabilities.

And 56.com seems to be the best, relatively, among them.

The consequences of social networking services are writ large on the face of the forthcoming years.

People will use them more and more to find information.

Is immigration to overseas a go for more and more businesspersons in China?

Jobs not allowing for career advancement tend to not retain workers.

Globalization has swelled the ranks of futureless people in the U.S. and Canada, as it were.

In Economics, the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility is "the central hypothesis of" the Utility Theory, which often gets criticized by some economists.

However, I have found it a powerful concept.

The accelerating pace of paradigm shift, which is pestering, costs us very much time and too much time.

我現在還不需要入 tablet.

One or more pragmatic ideals are among the best life companions of a boy then a man.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you might want to consider to switch to Firefox, or even better, Google's Chrome browser.

我很喜歡 Google 產品的 understatedness, effciency, 與 effectiveness.

然而，Google 產品匱乏一些治愈系的感覺。

從此刻開始，我自己在這個部落格上面寫的中文文字，一律採用我心儀已久的繁體中文。

離根更近。

It seems that the high school and university students with the best critical thinking capabilities are concentrated in Beijing and Shanghai, the two hugest mega cities of China.

Well, it's obvious, isn't it?

I'm abandoning the labeling of the posts on this blog.

It's just neither necessary nor helpful. For finding information on this blog, a search will do.

Fluorine is everywhere in our daily life.

Fluoride toothpaste, fluoridated tap water, and fluorescent lighting are good examples.

Many old people are out of the frame of the web evolution.

Much of the hurry-scurry of smart phone apps is fads, for my money.

The colors and fonts of the Chrome browser on Linux machines seem to not be on a par with their counterparts on Windows and Mac machines.

Now that the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons has stripped the license of the disgraced Toronto pathologist Charles Randal Smith and found him "incompetent" and "unprofessional".

Note that Mr. Charles Smith had obtained his pathology training at University of Toronto in the 1970s. And now we know that an education from a prestigious university does NOT equal to high quality of a professional's work.

I adore and admire LSE.

Cost of living is spurting in Montreal this year.

What is wealth? Paper monies?

What major elements have driven the current tectonic shift of the political landscape of the Arab world, such as what have been happening in Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, and Yemen?

It is said that the steeply rising cost of foods is one of them.

Gosh, introspective men's appeal may be rising.

The BURSTS of innovations happening in China are still not on a par with the SPURTS of those in the U.S.

Is China spurting its accumulated mammoth amount of U.S. dollars?

Or will it be?

There are many dirges in pop music.

The North American life is more or less mirthless for some first-generation Chinese immigrants.

Is Hong Kong an auspicious city?

And what about Singapore?

Twitter is the prototypical microblogging platform.

Better things will spawn.

Information overload calls out the scarcity of time and intelligent info. filtering mechanisms.

Should I switch to Mac or stay with Windows computers in the near future?

It's a tough call.

There must be many fireworks sputtering in China's small towns.

Without challenges, ignorance goes blithely.

The surname "Sachs" is a German and Jewish name.

It "took its name from the region of Saxony in central Germany".

Years and decades of marketing and advertisements can fill some people's conscience and turn them to slaves of materialism.

Some copyrighted software programs will eat themselves.

The current Quebec composer Pierre Lescaut's piece "Paysage d'Orient" (Oriental Landscape) sounds nice.

Please forgive my constant gripes about information overload. :-)

Teenage girls mostly speak words quickly.

And when they get excited or something, they sputter. Then you can tell they are excited.

The existence of unctuousness is reflected in many movie scenes.

Snobs snub people.

They tend to overestimate and underestimate.

Suomi, a.k.a. Finland, is an intriguing country.

Below are some images associated with it presented at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland:

Coat of arms

A Finnish-made F-18 of the Finnish Air Force.

Headquarters of Nokia, the largest Finnish company.

Impressive for a nation with a mere population of 5 million, isn't it?

Trust is earned.

British English sounds a lot crispier than American English. Delicious.

It feels that the reputation of Harvard University,

the ritzy brand name among the world's higher education institutes, was more ore less tarnished by HBS.

Snubbing is a bad habit.

The video streaming websites in China must remember this: first, do no hideosity. :-)

Too many people consider the finance or investment industry to be the top, the ritz.

But, is a job in it actually fool's gold? Well, ask those who left it.

Dubai wants to be the Ritz of all Mideast hubs.

But how many people think the whole city is a bubble?

The ritzy Westmount area in Montreal looks poetic with its tall trees.

Spring will come through yon sky.

Issac Newton, the great physicist, and John Newton, a clergyman, are two totally unrelated figures.

Many Chinese drink too much scalding tea and soup day after day to help themselves with their stomaches' health.

The Chrome browser's sync and cron functionalities are quite interesting.

I really think cynicism is what every man should fight against. I really do.

I've climbed mountains.

Oh, the Montreal wintry winds. They aren't easy on my ears.

It's interesting that Windows Live Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Mozilla Thunderbird also integrate, or embed, so to speak, the Usenet newsreader client, which is scarcely irrelevant and defunct nowadays.

I've never really employed the first two of them though. Right from the start, I used web mail, first the Yahoo! Mail, then Gmail. And I guess most young people did a similar thing.

Scalded water is different than boiling water.

And excellence is different from mastery.

Make a point of enhancing your English a little bit here or there everyday.

Some investors tend to anticipate gravies.

Well, it would be surprising or astonishing if there weren't some people like that, wouldn't it? :-)

In certain senses, it is far easier to reach truth in Canada than in China.

One thing that I don't quite grasp is that Western leaders often remonstrate about dictatorship during their official visits in lands governed by what they scold.

Parents are natural scolders of their children who tend to irritate people's limits.

The cron functionality of the Blogger platform is interesting.

I wonder how much resources the platform allocates to it.

To sanctify individual rights unleashes lots of potential in a society.

Some people are erring in their career paths.

Well, it's hard not to err, of course.

How is it if we compare the book 'The Catcher in the Rye' with the 2010 Taiwanese film 'Monga'?

Because Google Buzz, the social networking service that Google rolled out in February 2010, is generally considered to be a failure, I am abandoning it for the time being.

It's hard and time-consuming to navigate the social networking landscape, isn't it?

President Obama gets scoldings from all angles.

That actually boils down to one thing: money. Capitalism runs on money.
