Blog Blog China City Guides Laowai Chat Room Jobs Media Shop Access Blogger and Wordpress Blogs in China.
Many of the largest free blogging services are blocked in China by the GFW. As we here at Lost Laowai believe strongly in freedom of speech and freedom of expression - below find instructions on how to set your computer up to access blogs that are hosted at two of the largest free blog hosts - Blogger/Blogspot and Wordpress.com.
A common way to access such blogs is to go through a Web-based proxy service, or use a collection of proxy/anonymizer programs such as Tor. Though these are well and good, the following method will allow you a much quicker access time - as rather than bouncing around the globe through a proxy service, this simply slips a non-blocked IP in place of the blocked one. That's cool, trust us.
How to unblock Blogger and Wordpress.com blogs: The Steps
Open up a text editor (notepad, or whatever you've got lying around your system)
In the text editor, copy and paste the following:
function FindProxyForURL(url,host){
if(dnsDomainIs(host, ".blogspot.com")){
return "PROXY 72.14.219.190:80";
}
if(dnsDomainIs(host, ".wordpress.com")){
return "PROXY 72.232.101.41:80";
}
return "DIRECT";
}Save the text file as proxy.pac in your computer's ROOT directory (on a PC that's usually your C:\ drive). NOTE: Be careful that the text editor doesn't save the file as proxy.pac.txt - it should be called proxy.pac.
Instructions for different browsers vary. We can't include instructions for all, but here's how to do it for Firefox and Internet Explorer - if you use an alternative to these, you should be able to adapt this method to your browser without too much trouble.
Firefox
Click Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings... (screenshot)
Select the last option - "Automatic proxy configuration URL:" - and enter file:///C:/proxy.pac in the field just below it.
Save the settings and close Firefox. Upon relaunching Firefox you should now be able to access http://xxxx.wordpress.com and http://xxxx.blogspot.com blogs.
Internet Explorer
Click Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings (screenshot)
Check the "Use automatic configuration script" box and enter file://c:/proxy.pac in the Address field. (note: the address to the file is slightly different than the Firefox one - there is one less forward slash.)
Save your settings, restart Internet Explorer and you should be able to access http://xxxx.wordpress.com and http://xxxx.blogspot.com blogs.
Mac Instructions
This hack also works on computers running the Mac OS. Simply follow the above PC instructions, changing the path to the proxy.pac file. For instance, if you have the pac file saved to your desktop the path would be file:///Users/yourname/Desktop/proxy.pac, changing "yourname" to whatever your username is.

Google Chrome browser development Insider
The development of browser hearsay change reality
August 18, Google headquarters in Mountain View, California Building 41, held a small meeting room once a week will be the manager, this may be released before the Chrome browser will be the last time manager. During the meeting, Brian Rakowski to write a white plate, black dry-erase pen on the board wrote 12 entries.
Gutschewski Rafah test this year, more than 20 years of age, physical Shouchang, like making friends, is a secret plan - Chrome browser development - the product manager. It is learnt that the plan from the start to now have more than two years time.
He wrote the first of the "Published state" (State of the Release). Discussed the release of the outside world is the object of great concern to Chrome - Google's first web browser. Surf the Web browser is an essential tool to help users complete the search, read, buy, bank, log Facebook, chat, watch videos, listen to music, and other online activities. For Google, launched Chrome is definitely a major move, Google is the realization of the real arrival times essential step.
In desktop computing will be upgraded to "cloud computing" process, Google has a big advantage. Chrome is the emergence of competitors to Microsoft issued a major challenge. Many years ago, Microsoft was defeated by virtue of IE browser Netscape Navigator. With the Chrome, IE and will face the same fate of Netscape Navigator, we will wait and see.
In fact, Google will launch the browser rumors have been Bujingerzou a long time ago. In the long wait, many people have already shut the mouth of discussion. But this time the manager will be bound to once again start to discuss the door. According to Google's plan, Chrome on September 2 official. In the open test version before the final version of Rafah test Gutschewski and his team found only five "bug", but have been solved. Technology is responsible for one of the Mark Larson said: "Things are looking pretty good."
Google vice president of product management Sangda Pi-(Sundar Pichai) asked: "What you to engage in a night» "involved in the development of a prototype engineer Darin Fisher (Darin Fisher) said:" Of course Instead of Chrome. "This sentence attracted a laugh, because everyone know that he has a home only 10 weeks of the child. Gutschewski pull out a test in Hong Bi "Published state" and next to an "X". This is a signal that Google Chrome from the browser to become a reality only a step away.
Back in 2001 it is intended to develop
Why should Google browser development » This seems to be a very easy question to answer. In contrast, people more concerned that the development of Google browser Why has such a long time. Paper-said: "We need to do is to allow people to use a browser to visit our resources and networks." CEO Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) said: "The browser is key." He should be very Clearly this point, because in the 1990s intense in the browser wars, he has had served as Sun's chief technology officer (CTO). Undoubtedly, Google founders Larry Page (Larry Page) and Sejibulin (Sergey Brin) and also know that.
Schmidt said: "in 2001, joined Google, Page and Brin told me that 'we have to develop its own browser'. I had the answer is' no '." He explained that the timing was also Immature. "I do not believe that the company then had to withstand with a browser war the strength of our strategic objective should be 'less than the local radar,' This is very important." Although no development, but create their own Browser's idea is retained, rumors began to spread. 2004, "The New York Times" quoted a claim to know the details of Google's business people saying, Google is beginning to develop the browser. The news came out, Schmidt denied immediately be made public.
Behind the scenes, Chrome development is still Schmidt and Google co-founder of the controversial topic. Google finally adopted a compromise, the formation of a group, the task is to improve the browser Wizards of the ancient De (Ben Goodger) and Fischer is responsible for the development of open-source browser Firefox. (De ancient and Fisher are in effect in Firefox owner, non-profit organization Mozilla) In addition, Google also introduced another measure, had worked at NeXT company hired the 37-year-old engineer Lainasie Epson (Linus Upson) as director of research and development projects. Fischer said: "Page and Brin's decision is very wise, to simple reason: if we can do a good job Firefox extension, they will be able to develop a good browser."
In the spring of 2006, Firefox development team started to discuss a new design of the browser. They love Firefox, but they also know that all current browsers have a common defect. In the initial idea of Microsoft IE and Firefox heart of the code base, the browser and not so complicated now. Only on the desktop before the realization of the functions - e-mail, spreadsheet, database management - now more and more the Internet. In the upcoming "cloud computing" era, the network is not just a content delivery platform.
The development process were plagued with setbacks
Of the existing browser patch to adapt to this idea means that, we must constantly related to the development of additional components, such as toolbar, RSS reader and so on. However, such a thorough repair may escalate into a futile effort. Fischer said: "As the development of Firefox, you have to constantly innovate, but you always worry that, once launched the next version, all the expansion will become waste. In fact, this kind of thing has happened." Conclusion is obvious : Only by developing their own software, Google will be the browser into the "cloud computing" era, and potentially set off a tug-of-war since Microsoft and Netscape (ranked transform almost a month) after the unprecedented wave of innovation.
Google concept of a key innovation is the so-called multi-processing structure, this system can help the computer software in the collapse continue to run. Why does not the system will be applied to the browser on? » In other words, when a tab collapse, the other tab can still Tairanziruo. Of course, in order to solve the "one-Lao Shushi bad a pot of soup" of the problem, you can drag the existing tab to create a new window in this way. To put it simply, is to start from scratch, this approach has a number of other advantages. In the design, you can be more concise and make it run faster and more concise, more quickly it is Google pursuing the two major principles.
June 2006, the ancient De, Fisher had worked for the Mozilla and Brian Rainer (Brian Ryner) to develop a "small prototype." Their first major decision is the choice of rendering engine - to help deal with the page's HTML code, and the results displayed in the user's screen. They finalized the two engines are used for open-source Firefox's Gecko and Apple's Safari browser for the WebKit.
WebKit has been responsible for the development of mobile operating systems Android Google's research team used its speed is three times the Gecko, Chrome has become the first choice.
After a few weeks, the ancient De, who has developed in the Windows operating system under the WebKit a relatively simple browser - a collapse of a tab, the browser still running. Ancient De recalled: "When the tab after the collapse, the user will see a face icon of the frustration that the tab has been 'dead', which is Chrome browser the first major feature." Soon after, cloth Lin visited the secret of Pec and the beginning of the browser program. Engineers involved in the development of the Pam Greene recalled: "I remember very clearly, I was sitting next to the table, a toy snake in the table behind. Brin side Wanzhe fitness ball, while watching the Greek charges Seoul demonstration, also did not forget to hand caressing toy snake. "
Executives finally given the green light
No one is precisely to executives when Chrome browser to open the project the green light. Paper-recalled his first Executive Council, Schmidt was no longer seems like before, oppose. The CEO said that if Google is determined to launch the browser works, the research team must be developed with IE and Firefox have a lot of different things. In addition, the Google browser to speed faster, but must be open source.
These, of course, is the research and development team has long thought of the place.
In short, in the autumn of 2006, Chrome browser across from the informal to the formal concept of the project. Engineer Brett Wilson said: "a Friday, we made a will. Executives' senior is considering doing our own browser, you see how« 'everyone is both excited and fear. " The reason why fear, in part because they are very clear that research and development of a competitive browser is a huge task.
As Firefox's reliance on research and development team members inner feelings is Wuwei Zachen, as a representative of the development of open-source Firefox is against Microsoft's dominance of a barrier. October 2006 R & D team of engineers to join Erik Kay said: "Our worry is that people will interpret it for the destruction of Firefox."
Google let people take comfort from the fact that their browser will be 100 percent open-source: Google's innovation could help find access to the Mozilla encoding method. Epu Sen said: "We sincerely hope that Firefox and other open-source browser can succeed."
Google as part of the support of Firefox, Mozilla Paper met with the president-Mitchell Baker, and to her on the Google scheme. Now Baker said that for the Mozilla and Firefox, Chrome browser is a mixture. She will Chrome browser as the launch of the Mozilla browser on the choice of the crucial support of this belief. She said: "If Google made some very good new ideas, but no matter how good the users. Competition-promoting the best browser." However, she also understand that many of her customers will download the application Google Procedures. She said: "We look forward to people to try, and then come back. Independence is very important because, Mozilla will continue to exist."
A secondary problem is this product should take what name. In examining the code, but are feeling very foolish, they borrowed in the past used to describe the framework, tools and browser window bar menu around a word: chrome.
In addition to employ a person is also very important. Chrome expectations because users can run Web application optimization, a key element should be JavaScript Java engine, which is a running Web applications coded "virtual machine." The construction of this virtual machine is the ideal candidate computer scientist Lars Bak. September 2006, kept a more than 20 years of design, Buck ready to take part in his time was spent in Aarhus farms in the countryside. In this time, Google had a telephone call.
Buck established a small team, initially in the farm work, after the University moved to the local office. He knows that his task is a research and development than ever a faster browser engine. He said his team is "V8" part of the project, he said: "We are determined, we must accelerate the speed JavaScript, we have spent four months to do it." Danish research group this morning is usually 7-8 Clock started, have been programmed into the night, 7 o'clock. The only time the lunch break, they will Langtunhuyan within five minutes and finished, and then playing 20 minutes of the game. Buck said: "We are playing Wii tennis game will be."
Speed is the biggest advantage
They also good at writing a JavaScript engine. Back in Google launched Chrome browser weeks before had said: "Today, we just try to run some benchmarks." In fact, V8 engine deal with JavaScript faster than Firefox or Safari browser 10 times faster. In the same as those under the benchmark, Chrome and the dominant browser market compared to Microsoft's IE 7 and how » The answer is the former the latter is running at 56 times. Buck said: "We are somewhat underestimated his ability to work."
Chrome is likely to speed browser is the most important progress. When you volume level to improve the way some of the equipment, you do not have to create better things - you create the new products. Buck said: "The developers realized that such a speed of the charm, they will begin to engage in a more wonderful new network applications, more creativity in this regard." Google expects to launch a new generation of network applications, doing so Microsoft does not want to see the nightmare will become reality: the browser will become the equivalent of the operating system applications.
Chrome Google also made some improvements, so the process of operating a multi-platform, so that every open tab can be as independent as operating procedures. May 2007, Google bought GreenBorder Technologies Company, a software security company, its technology has been used to Firefox or IE to create a closed, safe environment, their activities will be isolated to a "virtual meeting" (or sand Box), where the invasion will not damage malicious software on the computer data and other activities.
The deal made public announcement, the industry suspected Google might be involved in anti-virus field. Soon after the completion of the acquisition, GreenBorder engineers that understand that their work is for a new generation of browser tab building "sand box." Carlos Pizano said: "We are all confused. They will not use that sand box to do."
Despite the growing Chrome development team, but from the development of a bureaucracy like the often encountered in the Predicament. Chrome in the early stages of the project, developers can Google in a cafe on the table to share a lunch. Soon, even the largest table, can not meet the needs of the team dining.
Each engineer with all "open source" the spirit of work, they can not check any code, to adjust or improve. Rafah test Gutschewski in the development process to try to maintain transparency.
With new features
With the overall planning of itemized implement products, engineers began to focus on user interface. The very beginning, Chrome development team hopes that the new browser's visual effects must be Pingdanwuqi, so that users even think that they are not using the browser. Developer has become the slogan of "content, rather than chrome", in view of this browser's name, to give a strange feeling. Mark Larson, we learned how to live in being ridiculed.
When you with a network such as Gmail applications tab drag a separate window, that you want a "shortcut application" (app shortcut) when the most clear expression of will appear in front of you. At this moment, menus, buttons, the address bar all disappeared, Web application looks more like a desktop application.
In deciding which include buttons and functions, the development team began an intellectual game played, that is, the elimination of all things, and then again of how to restore. Behind the button » Are not useful, by deleting. In front of the button » There is no need, but it finally survived. If you are a browser's status bar loyal fans, then you may Chrome is not customary.
Chrome is a bookmark column. Initially, the engineers think they should not have to bookmark column. Chrome introduction of several new navigation methods, such as one of the methods of navigation, the browser can also type of users do not have clear procedures which entered the next. When you enter text, you can use the "omnibox", a combination of the address bar and search bar function: as long as the input you want to find things, it can provide network address, the search results for you or by the requirements of the netizens welcome Destination, all of this information is non-plug-in the form of text in the box below.
Speaking to some extent, it is well-known Google button "I'm Feeling Lucky (I'm Feeling Lucky)," the enhanced version. Google users in the survey conducted shows that some people still like to click on the bookmark bar access to navigation information. Is a compromise: If a user in the past, IE or Firefox browser bookmarks set on the field, Chrome will be set up to import this. Otherwise, users will not bookmark column, unless they deliberately choose.
Confidentiality is very good
Incredibly, Google browser in two years time was not known to the outside world. Until mid-2007, Chrome project about a year's time, the team did not participate in the project so that the staff understand their innovative work in this regard before the news leaked. In the current prototype for the high-tech features a series of talks, employees very strong reaction. In various functions (such as tab drag the new window) demonstration of the process, they broke out from time to time since the heart of the cheers.
With Chrome browser know that more and more people, one thing must happen - Related news reached the ears of the blog. However, a reporter can not organize these rumors together. Wu Pusen (Upson), said: "I think this is because the Google browser rumors exist for a long time, just like people to see that every day that included strange or Nice Huguai, in the end we had grown accustomed to."
Chrome browser introduced in the eve of Paper check Iraq (Pichai) with a number of people share his Chrome browser's expectations. Is how many people will use Google browser » He said: "how it has several million. I hope that the mother also used, of course, her father." Chrome on Google's internal recognition does not mean that the new browser will be successful, Wu Pusen that can not even Chrome Win big market share, but its innovative technology will improve the overall performance of the browser. He said: "If the networks get better, we naturally will be direct beneficiaries."
With Chrome browser launch time is approaching, the team moved to a park company Google decoration of a new office building. The largest park in a conference room, the engineers can meet here, but can only stand, sit down, then the space is insufficient. The company also to provide them with milk and biscuits. After the initial development, the test Gutschewski will pull the whole floor over to his. He patiently to explain Chrome will create for the various benefits of open-source products. Open source code is made public, each user can help improve the function of the browser.
Rafah test Gutschewski said: "We will be able to measure our test results. It can imagine the people we have never been involved in the matter, we allow users to create a trust, this is not the work of the other effects."
As the meeting draws to a close, participants also reached the emotional peak, not only because of the role of coffee. After all, Chrome development team is about to open Google Ming Mingzhong to go to complete a new product of the mystery. Nevertheless, the development team top priority is to remove Henggen in front of them five technical problems.

Google Chrome browser Evaluation
Although still in beta in a variety of minor problems, but Google browser or by virtue of its powerful features and simple operation as Firefox and IE browser's powerful competitors.
Google's goal is very clear, and Microsoft is to a share, Google is also of the strength of its latest browser Chrome, indeed, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 or Mozilla's Firefox 3 can not be compared to you and the public Different from the online world.
Chrome now can only support Windows Vista and XP platform, but Google has been preparing to release support Mac and Linux versions, although the current companies and products listed no clear timetable for the final.
Chrome can be automatically saved in the installation process you are using a browser other information, such as it can from the Firefox or Internet Explorer browser bookmarks reservations, permits and settings, and other information, or even to retain user name and password and other information, in your The first use of the browser, all the contents will be automatically inserted.
After the completion of the installation, Chrome will be displayed on a desktop shortcut menu, you can immediately start your new Internet experience. Chrome Toolbar is very simple, in the address bar of a bookmark column below, in addition to the right of the screen there is a separate from the recent history of browser bookmarks bar and information.
And Google stablement like, Chrome the user interface is very small, not big menu bar and title bar. All the functions are Omnibar (address bar) the right of the two buttons, one can create a site on the desktop shortcut and preservation of information and to download the information, here is another option.
You can set homepage, but can also automatically to the highest number of pages set up a home page, this page can also browse the most practical site, the recent visit of information, but also can set up your most used search engine, this can Options to select the button below.
Chrome is another feature of the convergence of many of the functions of the desktop operating system, such as you can in the browser on the desktop set to begin, QuickLaunch, pages, and other shortcuts, for instance, I installed the Google Map of the shortcuts. In the absence of forward and back button, switch, the page will find a little trouble, if you want to back, you can right-click navigation key rear.
Search is Google's advantage is its Firefox over Microsoft and the weight, Chrome added some new features is the search more convenient. Search results can display the title page, the site can also display small logo, but does not include all the pages of information. URL for the lack of information may not directly through the pages of the impression, coupled with a clear logo on a lot.
For example, a few days ago I read in Macworld on the upcoming Apple launch event content through this browser, I only need to enter in the address bar "apple event", can find the information I had, including some I have not seen Site.
Using a search engine Google, if you are not used can also be replaced by other, such as Yahoo, Amazon, Live Search, and so on. I use Windows Vista PC systems using this software is very good, but my two other colleagues using Windows XP system, I feel it is not very good.
Chrome also includes some other browser features such as view the source code and save pages, and so on. When the machines because of the problems caused when the obstacles to real pages, Chrome will prompt your memory and CPU utilization, and prompted the temporary closure of some of the procedures used do not need, but this feature need to manually set up.
In my early tests, Chrome found a number of issues, such as its lack of stability, but also speaking for the test version of relatively normal. I found that I use Vista when the system can not display Flash, although my colleagues to use XP system when there is no such problem. Procedures in case of conflict, the need to manually resolve every time, but Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 can automatically record your approach, do not need to personally set up each time.
The use of JavaScript and Ajax are produced by the website showed that normal, but the use of Microsoft's Silverlight site reality there are some problems. Google browser to use the WebKit and Apple's Safari Web, but in Apple's browser Silverlight site reality there is no problem.
Chrome is an excellent browser, even for some relatively high for the functional requirements of users are able to meet their demands, and because Google is the company's products, its search function also trusted. We introduced this is only a Beta, in accordance with the tradition of Google, before the formal launch of products will be a very long time the test period. Earlier rumors that Google would have launched their operating system, I would like to Chrome listing proves this point, Web browser is Google's operating system.

Forbes: Cloud computing is the essence of computing upgrade
Cloud computing is perhaps the most fashionable technology concept, the other, cloud computing has long been in the business and the wider use among many of our customers. What is more surprising is that the vast majority of the use of cloud computing have not aware of this.
Cloud computing the actual function of how much » Cloud computing is a new concept » Why enterprise chief information officer for a special liking for cloud computing » With these questions, the Forbes site of Highland Capital Partners partners and the site StorageNetworks CEO Peter Bell had an exclusive interview with, the following is the interview:
Q: How new cloud computing concept?
A: Cloud computing is different from our previous use of performance computing, which is essentially an upgrade of the former. Cloud computing is not simply to move data from the mainframe data center services centre, it is the platform and applications for mobile. This is a totally different mode of operation, we are only now beginning to enter this field. Enterprise-level computing operations have not yet entered cloud level, but the number of new enterprises based on a cloud computing set up their own corporate structure. These enterprises do not think that this is an outsourcing. They believe that this is a more effective, on the scale of the operation. This is a great improvement.
Q: How is the market-computing?
A: Cloud computing market has become a hot spot of concern, a large number of cast into the wind. In clouds computing market, many will face competition. Of course, this market will also emerged in a number of outstanding businesses, and similar Web2.0. When you analysis of Facebook, MySpace or Gmail, you will find that they have substantial value, in-computing market, but also the same reason.
Q:-What does it mean for the security operation?
A: Cloud computing will have a significant impact on the security market. No one wants to internal security issues, but in fact a large number of security problems within the firewall. We see some companies to outsource application development to them do not quite understand the business, which means that their cooperation with the enterprises can access the entire enterprise database system. This is not a cloud computing, which is outsourcing of application development. In clouds computing market, I think that enterprises can provide solutions to effectively prevent access to firewall the first question. The future, there will be some enterprises, optimized for the development of computing-security programmes. Our security will not appear in a non-virtual environment. This market still exist many loopholes, we need to integrate different levels of computing package.
Q: Cloud computing market risk, whether the increase?
A: If you use GMAIL and Google Calendar, you do not know how they run their store model and how. You need to trust them. If you have more sensitive information, you in different ways to deal with. Now, enterprises need to trust third-party application developers.

Answer: From the perspective of treatment and support, IBM and other giants of the business environment have a different understanding. They may be the beginning of the advantages, but technical and cost perspective, they are not a big advantage. You need the support of IBM and a small business innovation balance. We can be sure, in clouds computing market, IBM will play an important role, EMC, Oracle and VMware, also will play an important role. These enterprises will become a provider of cloud computing, and software companies will become on-demand software provider, a new business-computing market will also play a role in the application. These giants have cost advantages, as a new start-ups, you can not contest in the Amazon and the cost advantages of the Amazon larger scale, a strong ability to provide services.
Q: Does the new enterprise will provide a unique service?
Answer: Yes. But in the world product, you need to know it is a function of a product or a business » Sometimes, contractors have a good ability, but its ability to focus on business development of a business model. Therefore, the characteristics and the business model is different issues.
Q: Cloud computing market, which market is a wise investment of?
A: We have for many business-computing research analysis, if the cloud computing market management capacity has been optimized, IBM customers will distinguish between such enterprises. For start-ups, cloud computing market exists great opportunities because the market needs to be further developed. At the same time, these giant is also facing some problems. China's new start-ups may be able to provide better solutions.
Analysts said the United States 25 largest advertising on the main line marketing often mistakes
Market consultancy firm Sterling Market Intelligence chief commentator Greg Sterling recently published remarks. Online marketing that the main goal should be to guide consumers to line entities shops make a purchase. This comment from the perspective of the 25 largest U.S. advertisers, we find that they have made online advertising often flawed.
"In the national advertising and local advertising What is the difference between it. On a piece of paper to draw two columns, you can easily list their different, but the online world, the differences in their disappearance." Greg Sterlin That our initial assumption that the Internet will influence this brand, which is e-commerce instead of the traditional retail, but this did not happen. However, despite e-commerce could not replace the bricks and mortar cement, but it can not conceal a more important trend: the Internet to shop sales.
In the mid-1990s, there have been a lot of publicity and speculation, which is the traditional stores will embark on e-commerce end of its resources, while some smaller retailers national and international marketing platform. Ten years have passed, the reality is another kind of pattern.
The world's largest retail site Amazon (Amazon) the founder and CEO Jeff Bezos in 2005 early optimistic projections: the purchase of online retail industry will eventually account for 10% to 15%. But so far, we still away from this goal Well, in fact, can eventually achieve this goal is an unknown. Ministry of Commerce said that U.S. retail e-commerce in the whole of the share of four percent, and this proportion has maintained a good few quarters. Despite the downturn in the economic situation, e-commerce to the pace of the advance over traditional retail stores, but the line consumer buying behavior remains important.
Jupiter and Forrester (now merged into one of the company) research institutions predicted the Internet in the next five years will affect roughly 1 trillion U.S. dollars of the line consumer. Whether it is 1 trillion U.S. dollars, or 800 billion U.S. dollars. This projection is on consumer behaviour in terms of precision. This online and offline connectivity is a profound trend, marketing and brand their land is extremely overlooked this trend, let alone from this trend in the mining interests.
The Internet has already evolved into the consumer line to buy the main search tool. A research organization in May found that: in those entities from the recent purchase of shops in the consumer electronics products on behalf of the people, 80 percent of the people from those they visited the site in the shop to buy the product. Data also showed that 89 percent bought from the shops in the consumer goods were the first online survey. There are more data can show that this trend: consumers online research, but under the purchase online.
Experience has shown that consumers consider the Internet in the stage was the most use. Traditional media such as television, print magazines or newspapers often will stimulate online research, which in turn lead to local retailers in line to buy.
Most of brands and marketing in traditional media campaign and Internet integration (not just in the ad join the URL address) is slow. The online advertising and they are usually unable to guide people to a specific point of sale to buy ads in the products or services.
All the top 25 U.S. advertisers, Procter & Gamble to by Warren. Buffett created Berkshire Hathaway investment group, at the local shops are selling a product or service. In this sense, they should be treated as local advertisers, but most do so in line brand advertising, the only player in a national television advertising the essence.
Consumers want to buy what their decision, they usually want to know where to buy. Online advertising, brand advertising and direct-ads can be linked together to provide consumers "where to buy the information." Local search and display ads directed a successful campaign is the key.
From the marketing and agency point of view, from online to line the track is not perfect. But good tools in local development orientation. Major national brands and marketing, if not on-line advertising activity embedded in the local information, then they will be missed very important, consumer research and make online shoppers by the search produced an important opportunity to buy.

The report contains an analysis found that 007 did not make use of aircraft flight inertial navigation system, but to use the compass direction of 245 fixed in flight, resulting from the original route.
The plane Sakhalin island in the air, and the former Soviet Union air missile was shot down. On board 269 passengers and crew members all died. The spokesman also said, through the International Civil Aviation Organization investigate this incident, reaffirmed the ban on the use of civilian aircraft weapons fundamental principles of international law.
August 19, 1993, the South Korean government through the Russian embassy in Korea to the Russian government handed over to the Russian government, including the requirements of the 10 former Soviet fighter shot down a Korean airliner and the loss of life and property compensation for a letter. This is the first time the South Korean government official to the Russian government demands for compensation on the incident.

Units damaged but a series of navigational rules and the unfortunate coincidence of circumstances led to the aircraft was shot down. He said that this was from Russia, the United States, South Korea, and other five countries of the 50 senior experts conducted a half-year after a detailed study to draw conclusions.
La Tuofu charges that the aircraft deviated from route 250 miles can not be accidental that this is undermining the prevailing rules and regulations and directives of the results. On the other hand, the Soviet air defense system has been tracking the aircraft more than two hours, but at night can not determine the conditions for passenger flights and mistaken for a reconnaissance aircraft. Far East Military District Command under the Ministry of National Defense General Staff Headquarters of the Soviet Union on the aircraft to take compulsory measures and instructions for the attack was justified. Missile test in the closed area, opened fire on the aircraft is issued without prior warning. He also said that the Committee did not have sufficient material to confirm that the aircraft reconnaissance flights to the conclusion, but business is skilled in navigation units in a series of serious errors committed by the "embarrassing."
In the end is how the case » January 5, 1997, "Global Times" published a report "I shot down a Korean Air 007 plane," may reveal what point. One wrote:
September 1, 1983, Korean Air 007 plane flights from hundreds of kilometers into the territory of the Soviet Union's most sensitive secrets over the base, the results were shot down, 269 people on board all of life to the Huangquan. This is called the greatest tragedy of the Cold War period (Yeltsin).

Scientists confirmed that the brain has the subconscious ability to learn
According to reports, although nearly a century since we know that the brain is the subconscious ability to learn, but has not explicitly confirmed. Now published in the field of life sciences by the world famous publishers "Cell Press" 8.28 "published by neurons in the magazine" a new study on the use of a complex perception shelter, computer models and neural imaging technology, the first confirmed human brain in No signs of awareness of the circumstances of the subconscious ability to learn.
Responsible for the study of University College London Weierkangmu the nerve centre of the imaging trust Massimo Ya Sipi Sige Lineham said: "It is often argued that they considered more than intuition to make better decisions. This is Is probably the subconscious associations with learning ability to play a role in the hypothetical situation to choose a better result. "
For example, seasoned poker hand can be fun even more successful, it is because they are aware of results of winning or losing its opponents subconscious behaviour associated with the subconscious ability to comprehend. To investigate this phenomenon clear, Pi Sige Dr. Lin Ni and his colleagues created from the chaos, the novelty of abstract symbols of visual information. After two shielded by showing the clues to assess the visual sense test, asked whether they aware of what is different. Pi Sige Lineham said: "We assume that if the tests are properly aware of this two different clues to the differences between the shelter, they can not have that sense of the results of that."
In the next experiment, testing the subconscious to complete the training mission, adopted during the same screening measures, but this time the result is that one-on-one and winning or losing. Using this method, researchers observed that winning or losing one-on-one good effect, can make a correct guidance of action to test reaction, even in the abstract that case also effective. In the abstract that case, testing can not have a clear sense that implied.
At the same time, the researchers through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging technology, they have been collected from the brain scan results, to investigate and study the subconscious brain associated with the specific activities of the loop. Pi Sige Lineham said: "In response to the subconscious brain that the ventral striatum can see the result, in a manner similar to our computer algorithms to quickly express reward expectations and forecast error quickly. From this we infer that even if No sense to handle the hint, we know that the brain can be their reward value and can use them to make a decision. "
