Melamine contaminated milk powder incident on the communications

(September 12, 2008)

Since last October, due to excessive competition, the original milk prices rose sharply, some unscrupulous farmers to seek personal gains in raw milk to join in the illegal melamine, which my company infant milk powder to be contaminated. Not only harm the health of consumers, but also to cause a significant loss.

First, the occurrence of

1, to reflect the consumer

March 2008, Sanlu Group has received the individual consumer report: infant food Sanlu infant milk powder, a urine discoloration or urine in the particle phenomenon. After mid-June, have received infant suffering from kidney stones, and other symptoms to hospital for treatment information. As of September 11, received a total of 37 cases of patients with the information (of which five cases of Gansu reports reflect), located in Shandong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Xinjiang, Beijing, Anhui and other provinces. No deaths.

2, appease consumers

A reflection of the consumer, I attach great importance to the company, consumers sympathetic to the sick, although I pre-tested products are qualified, but to protect the health of consumers is our company's loyal customers, immediately formed a special group Rushed to the local understanding of the situation and actively contact with the families of patients, family life difficult for consumers and helping and supporting condolences.

2, the quality of infant formula investigation,

Since March from consumers reflect, to identify the reasons for my company, quickly set up a technical working group to verify product quality:

(1) immediately conduct quarterly inspections and commissioned by the self-inspection. March 13 to May 20, a third party testing organizations a total of six test batches Baby-milk formula, are qualified; March 20 to March 30, the company on its own random collection of infant milk powder 9 Detection Report detection of calories, protein, fat, calcium and phosphorus ratio, VD 30, and so on a number of indicators are in line with national standards.

(2) and consumer testing and submitted jointly commissioned. June 2008, met with local consumer agencies jointly commissioned by the relevant test to detect: Hunan Province by the Food Quality Supervision and Testing, Changsha City Food Quality Supervision and Testing Center, Xuzhou City, product quality supervision and inspection by; commissioned by the National Dairy Quality Supervision and Testing Center, the State Environmental Quality Supervision, Inspection and the Ministry of Agriculture dairy Centre Quality Supervision and Testing Center of the market reflect the product was submitted. After examination, found no problems, we can not prove that the reasons for the prevalence and quality of the milk, so at that time did not take measures reported.

(3) in-depth investigation and the reasons for wide. In view of this abnormal cases have occurred in my company responsible for the spirit of the consumers, since April 2008, decided to continue in-depth investigation and find out the reasons extensive, investigation and analysis of each:

First, the investigation and infant milk formula design is reasonable. In calories, protein, fat, linoleic acid, ash, water, vitamins, minerals, such as more than 30 projects on the design, a reasonable formula.

The second is the investigation and infant milk formula involved in the production of 49 kinds of raw and auxiliary materials (not including raw milk). I use the company's raw and auxiliary materials in accordance with the scientific method to conduct the inspection of the plant, raw and auxiliary materials no problem.

Third, calcium and phosphorus than the investigation, VD. Our company's infant formula milk powder by the aforementioned GB design, and the self-inspection, a third-party verification testing organizations, and VD than that of calcium and phosphorus content in the normal range.

Fourth, the investigation and amino acids, antibiotics, purine. I detected through the company's infant formula, found little difference between the amino acid tyrosine in no abnormal situation. Through the 39 infant milk powder purine material testing, in line with the provisions of GB2760 add standards. I passed the infant formula companies in the sulfa material detection, sulfa material that did not exceed the residual international and domestic sulfa MRL.

In the above investigation and found no problem, my company on July 20 in the infant milk powder for the detection of non-protein nitrogen, found that the higher value of non-protein nitrogen. To find out the truth as soon as possible, I am in the company on July 24, 2008, the market will be reflected in infant milk powder commissioned by the Hebei SAIECIQ technical inspection and quarantine centre for analysis testing. At 18:00 on August 1, 2008, in test results: submission of the 16 infant formula samples, 15 samples detected the element of melamine.

Second, the measures taken

Melamine is an important Heterocyclic organic chemical raw materials, nitrogen amounted to 66 percent, add the substance can cause the protein content of milk Xugao. According to reports, consumption of food containing melamine may lead to cats, dogs in kidney stones, urinary stones, kidney failure and other illnesses. Melamine is a chemical substance, not food additives, is not national standards within the scope of testing. Add the substance, enterprises are difficult to predict in advance. In order to ensure product quality and safety, protecting the health of consumers, I immediately take the following measures:

1, promptly reported the situation. August 1, I-operation held a meeting on the same night and at 9:00 on August 2 the Board of Trustees held temporary telephone, decided to immediately report to the government. August 2 pm, respectively, will report the situation to the Shijiazhuang municipal government and the Xinhua District Government.

2, archive storage infant milk powder. August 1st day and night, I closed the company warehouse information system, not yet out of the 2,176 tons of infant milk powder Sanlu all archived in the company warehouse, not the factory. I test the quality of the company through relations departments understand how this substance detected immediately after the procurement of medicines and related equipment, three days after the start of melamine testing, qualified and non-normal detection of this material may be infant formula factory sales.

3, the rapid recovery of infant formula. August 2, previously listed for the sale of infant formula all of Sanlu recovery and recycling products melamine testing, this is non-material products may continue to sell. As of now, a total recovery archive and effective control of the market more than 90 percent of baby milk powder.

4, to identify sources of melamine, and comprehensively strengthen quality control.

First, the immediate implementation of the stare milk households grasping Naiyuan

August 3, have sent about 400 employees, all of Sanlu Group to milk a cow every quarter, the Office of milk, milk station posted at least two companies, for milking, the milk storage, and transport milk, milk pay For full control, prevent Chanzashijia.

The second is to conduct all the special detection of melamine

August 2, I set up service companies, and then find a relationship between the United States have bought the melamine production and testing equipment kit, with production to enterprises. August 3, the acquisition of raw milk, the outsourcing of other raw and auxiliary materials and production of infant milk powder products for melamine all special testing to ensure that this material contains the non-use of raw and auxiliary materials, containing this substance of infant milk powder Not the factory.

August 4 to August 9, to my company's raw milk 200 samples were detected. Can be seen from the results, raw milk melamine in the frequency and content of high. Through comprehensive analysis: man-made raw milk to the incorporation of melamine is the introduction to infant formula in the main channel.

August 6, the company's production of raw milk, raw and auxiliary materials and finished goods in addition to the national standard test items, Pipi a melamine testing, pre-qualified products, quality, fully guaranteed.

August 21, 23 and 25 respectively for the second People's Hospital of Hebei children (even kidney stones disease) urine and First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University Children (kidney stone disease) kidney stone detection, children with urine And stones were detected in the melamine. The raw milk, dairy raw materials, infant milk powder were also Jianchu the melamine, and milk from the TAC was melamine households in the goods.

August, my company a total of four kinds of feed products for the detection of melamine. Test results can be seen, although with some milk households in the melamine feeding cows, but milk in a very low content of melamine.

Third, in the face of difficulties, be inspired, do a good job

Although illegal dairy farmers for raw milk has interests in melamine added to the company, causing major losses, but we have the government at all levels of care and strong support of several decades of painstaking fine tradition of entrepreneurship, to Daying Zhang, worked hard The staff, we will certainly be able to overcome the present difficulties. The vital interests of all staff and is closely related to the development of enterprises. All company employees should be based on positions, and strive to do a good job Naiyuan construction, production management, scientific research and development, market management, and other aspects of the work, reversing the difficult situation, Sanlu Dairy China will continue to make a significant contribution to the development.

Comments on the world's top 10 Web2.0 website

NO.1 Myspace.com

Whether you love it or hate it, Myspace.com the United States today are the most popular on the Internet site, and now it has not been any other site in a short period of time beyond it. Myspace is not the secret of success lies in its function or to provide the user interface, because the function of other sites more abundant, and seem more beautiful. Myspace the real reason for the success lies in its dedication to the community (in the United States, if you do not use Myspace, then you're absolutely view of others is an alien), and users for their own pages of great control rights. This site attracted me the most is where, in fact, it has completely gone beyond the ordinary social site, Myspace has now become a social arena. In addition, there are numerous companies in around the centre, the development of competing in the Myspace can be used on the small stuff.

This is a desire of each site are owned by force. Because there are so many users are using this site, Myspace opened by any new projects in a short period of time will sharply grow up. Rupert Murdoch has claimed his Myspace Video video services will be defeated in 60 days of YouTube. This is not an easy task! You want to know, YouTube is now provided by the daily online video traffic as much as 100 million MB.

NO.2 WordPress

When the SixApart Blog from the erection of the service sector throne after the pull-down, Matt Mullenweg from their eyes focused on the Blog service the space field and the start of the existing leading brand launched a fierce attack. And let WordPress.com become more fascinating is that its software is a true open-source software, so you do not have to like the use MovableType or Typepad, and other commercial software, worried about a day after the closure of companies, software development will also With The stagnation. In addition, WordPress.com the basis of service is completely free. If you want to use some additional services, it also needs to pay only a very small number of the annual fee it. In addition, because the company itself is a WordPress a reasonable profit model, so you need not worry about their own Blog around on the many annoying ads.

NO.3 Flickr

In any list of Web 2.0, the Less Flickr, it is the first real breakthrough significance of the Web 2.0 site because it the "label (Tagging)" and the creative use of a deep understanding of the community. When it was Yahoo! Company after the acquisition, development and improvement of their own and are therefore not slow down, although in some great API and more on the use of a number of restrictions.

Although it with those who are still using large-scale picture of the site to share the expectations of mainstream users there is still a certain distance, but it does catch up in the Data Bu. With the free advertising model with a low annual fee and the advanced mode, Flickr created a new profitability model, and this model has been profitable the rest of the world's top Web site used by.

NO.4 YouTube

In my personal opinion, YouTube on the Internet today is the most attractive site. No one doubts YouTube itself is of great value, but at the same time, it is because their own video content provided by the copyright issue is controversial. However, people often ignore that those with video content copyright of these companies, is precisely those most eager to get the younger generation on-line consumer companies. For example, China is now a parody of the popular video from "homes boys" may be illegal to use a combination of the Backstreet Boys songs, but because of copyright issues by record companies to court. However, in turn, think about a decade ago to the oldies in a few days to be over 200 million potential buyers heard, in this situation before there is little possibility of a «record companies are dreaming Want to get the attention, but now, they do not spend a penny on this treasure trove has been.

A few days ago, Google has used 1.65 billion U.S. dollars to buy YouTube. We believe that the search giant's help, this network video services king is a bright future. Let us wait and see!

NO.5 Revver and MetaCafe

Although not as famous YouTube, but through the video producers have the money to provide feedback, the two video sites has recently made great progress. Some on the YouTube site is very popular video is also the author of the two sites for some of their profits outside the block, with at the same time, they passed by YouTube as a platform to attract more and more of their audience. This is the site of the two wishful thinking, to attract money through the popular video authors to publish their own Web site, through which the author further from YouTube on to attract more users.

With profit sharing profits with the YouTube model and a similar mode of operation, now the site of these two developments is very good.

NO.6 Newsvine

The site displayed the news site of the 21st century is what should we look like. And integration through the pooling of multiple news sources, you can read a story with the different versions, but Newsvine can provide you with the relevant reader feedback, as well as a strong, you can read the news each day to complement the network Community. If you do not vote or comment on director, you can still like the other news sites, like to read the latest press briefing.

Newsvine users are a group of mature, knowledgeable people, they Qiwen strange things for those who are not interested in this feature to Newsvine in today's noisy on the network people feel more fresh. Refreshing page design, with the typical style of Mike Davidson, visit this site to become a easy to enjoy.

NO.7 Yahoo

The list of the largest is the strongest company, its direction for the future development of the Internet have a natural instinct. The previous acquisition of del.icio.us and Flickr, Yahoo understood "by virtue of users to create content" of the value of sociability site. Now, another rumor that they wanted to buy Facebook, therefore, even if Yahoo is now in its advertising business on the poor performance, but its future remains very bright.

What «you do not believe that after the acquisition of large companies What is the role of« need to know, del.icio.us has just announced that it was the one millionth registered users. Thus, since its acquisition by Yahoo, the number of subscribers has grown three times, showed a very strong momentum of development.

NO.8 Digg

On Digg, the discussion on the network article has been overwhelming, so I really have nothing more to say. Digg adopted the concept of an ancient academic, and then people become addicted in a way to achieve it out. In its two months of the development process, it was more than 500,000 registered users, such is the pace of development no one can rival. When you register, you get action on the right, you can simply click through Digg button on any article or comment to vote. With the increase in the number of users, will become more and more scenes of chaos, but they still can not cover living Digg flash in it. If you want to find what an interesting story or site, for a long period of time, Digg is the preferred place.

If you operate a Web site that have nothing than to their own website, the article can be boarded Digg's home page has more to be proud of. If you want to users and traffic, Digg is that you show the stage, once you get it approved, the site will be like you get on the same rocket, a towering fly.

NO.9 Skype

If you want to use the telephone network, then use Skype! That is you need to know all.

NO.10 Facebook

U.S. version of the Alumni

U.S. version of the Alumni, but more interesting, more powerful features, is likely to 1 billion U.S. dollars worth of Yahoo to become the next takeover target. In the past, Facebook strongly to their subscribers in the United States confined within the campus, but now the situation has changed, for all its re-opened its embrace of Internet users. However, in Facebook, you can not like Myspace as on the freedom to control their own home pages, which may also be Myspace Facebook left behind reasons.

Of course, a Facebook user interface so perfect, do not see what other changes necessary.

Finally, want to say is that the development of the list is very difficult because there are many on the network is superior to other Web 2.0 site. Below are some of the best:

Del.icio.us

Cloud Computing capacity

Cloud Computing technology sector is becoming the jargon. Not only Google (www.g.cn), IBM (www.ibm.com.cn), Microsoft and Yahoo (www.yahoo.cn), and other large companies is Cloud Computing admirers, smaller companies are also gradually to Its side. CRM software online service provider Salesforce.com said he began to Cloud Computing Applications, and in the position it had "replaced the traditional software delivery," the SaaS model; Facebook (www.Facebook.cn) simply declared itself Cloud Computing platform, Developers can on the platform and application development platform in the distribution of these applications.

"Really, we do not have to create storage, databases, computer or database functions, is to provide a more economical way to handle the data." Amazon Web Services senior vice president Andy Jersy said. His department was founded in 2006, Cloud Computing infrastructure service providers, the forerunner, "The New York Times" called the use of the Elastic Compute Cloud service on the Internet in 1851 to the 1922 version of the newspaper.

Simple to say, Cloud Computing means that access to computing resources, processing, storage, transmission of information and databases are from its own four walls, and users pay only for their own use of some of the resources that pay for. In the past few years, such calculations have been called Grid Net or Utility Computing-when needed access to it, like running water or electricity network, and only for the use of that part of pay. At the same time, its application to the expansion of the marginal success of SOA, virtualization, SaaS, network services and so on the field.

Universal's "Cloud"?

Just as MP3 players, CD discs killed, Cloud Computing will have to break the old computing model, and trigger on the basis of this "omnipotent" fervent Rhapsody: With high-speed Internet access, almost unlimited storage Space, the handling capacity of assembly, what else can not do »

June 24 day, IBM at the same time in Johannesburg, South Africa and China established a two Cloud Computing Centre. IBM's plan, the end of this year the world to be completed at least 10 Cloud Computing Centre. IBM called their creative Blue Cloud, at least 200 Cloud Computing researcher focused on the work.

"With the passage of time, some old things again has a new look." IBM Global Innovation and Technology Nickolas Donofrio, executive vice president sighed. In recent years, IBM data center in the efficient operation done a lot of efforts, such as grid computing on the desktop computers and other equipment, users across many machines to expand the exercise, and to make programming easier. With far more than that of network bandwidth and virtualization technology, grid technology with Cloud Computing can be carried forward. "In a sense, Cloud Computing Grid computing is a natural model for the further development." IDC analyst Frank Gens, "The difference is, Google's programming model, and it really open - ordinary people can also The preparation of applications, rather than have to be Stanford or Carnegie Mellon University doctoral. "

Cloud Computing charm of a display of vivid examples from the Animoto, this was established in New York, only 18 months, allows customers to upload their pictures and music and provide customized automatic generation of Web-based video display services, people can And their friends to share these videos, there are about 5,000 visitors a day using this service.

Mid-April this year, Facebook users to generate interest in this application there is a small upsurge in three days, about 750,000 people in Animoto on the registration. In the peak period, about 25,000 people per hour use Animoto services.

In order to fill the demand gap server, the company needs on the basis of the existing 100-fold expansion of the server. However, neither the founder of funds for expansion of this scale servers, and no technical capacity and interest to manage these servers.

Therefore, they start and a Rightscale-Santa Barbara, California's Cloud Computing service providers, this company for the Amazon's Cloud Computing design applications. Through this cooperation, Animoto just three days to meet the surge in the flow of payment, and do not need to buy or configuration of any new server. It supported the commitment to the Amazon, a server one hour costs only about 10 cents a share, including bandwidth, storage and related services, the number of marginal cost. When the server when a drop in demand, Animoto automatically reduces the use of their servers, but also reduce their bills.

Facebook the same as the rapid reaction capacity and new sales and marketing channels is the combination of software from business-to-Cloud Computing a keen interest in the causes. This even for those non-software companies also applies - the traditional companies are also changes in their computer system to use Cloud Computing.

"In fact, Cloud Computing on the role of technology like electricity network on the role of power", "Harvard Business Review," Nick Carr, former executive editor of the book The Big Switch in the comparison of the Cloud Computing and electricity networks. Electricity network to improve the company's operation, when every family have cheap energy and access, "there is the incredible creativity to take advantage of these cheap energy," Carr said. He believes that Cloud Computing will be the next decade and contributed to the development of the power network similar to the cycle.

Microsoft plans to sell Greenfield Internet business survey

September 11, Microsoft Wednesday announced that it plans to Greenfield Online's Internet business quickly resold to investigate private equity partnership ZM Capital under the ZM Surveys.

At the same time, Microsoft's acquisition of Greenfield is still pending, the two transactions are expected in the fourth quarter at the same time. Microsoft pointed out that the acquisition of Greenfield does not depend on it and ZM Capital transactions between.

Greenfield Internet survey solutions (ISS) for the business market research firm to collect, organize, and the sale of consumer and industry survey data, but also provide real-time online survey sample, but the business was not suitable for Microsoft's Live Search scheme.

Large-size electronic reader will trigger a print media technology revolution

E Ink imaging technology is different from our day-to-day use, such as computers and mobile phones on the LCD screen, the technology without backlight principle will be able to achieve good results monochrome image. The electronic ink display with low energy consumption of energy conservation and environmental protection features, in addition the technology can also display the text in a bright or too dark environment easily identify the human eye. On the market today have several of the use of electronic ink display technology of e-products, including the launch of the Amazon Kindle e-book browser does Sony Corporation, and the eReader book browser does. It is learnt that the world-famous men's magazine "Esquire" will be in some of its contents page view the use of E Ink technology.

New York Times has reported that one called Plastic Logic of the British company released a new electronic newspaper reader, this is similar to Sony's eReader and the Amazon Kindle read the electronic display newspaper readers have not yet been official Officially named. The 11 inches long, 8.5 inches wide less than the thickness of the book "one newspaper." As the e-book using E Ink electronic ink imaging technology, the monochrome display quality will go far beyond the traditional newspaper. What is, E Ink Corporation to the New York Times revealed that he has the capability to produce in 2010 to display various colors of the e-reader displays. In addition, the touch-screen design enables users to enter text in the need to directly manipulate open the virtual keyboard touch. It is understood Plastic Logic's new products have a Sony eReader and the Amazon Kindle also read large display, the size is equivalent to the size of the general newspapers. Despite the size of the product is twice as much as Kindle, but the screen using a new type of plastic material rather than the traditional glass materials, and compared with a very thin Kindle portable.

Large-size screen allows the reader to read the pages and even full-page newspaper display. This digital information for transmission and display that will undoubtedly suffer from delays in save paper, reduce the cost of newspaper delivery of newspapers and printing costs of the media industry's future development for all. The New York Times reported statistics show that the newspaper printing costs and delivery costs accounted for the entire newspaper was the total cost of more than 65%. It is evident from this use of electronic ink technology of large-size electronic reader might really lead to the newspaper's print media mainly of a technical revolution.

The new company called Plastic Logic electronic newspaper readers to support wireless transmission technology, Microsoft Office documents, Adobe PDF format, and other documents directly, it can also browse newspapers, magazines and books. Kindle with the same wireless network connectivity makes the device in any place of a signal can be read real-time updates of electronic content. As for the reader but this is connected via WiFi hotspots network or through similar Kindle as the built-in cellular modem to the Internet is still unknown.

It is regrettable that the addition of wireless connectivity, Plastic Logic also did not reveal details such as specific products, functional characteristics, and the price of equipment provided by the newspaper name. The New York Times reports that, Plastic Logic's e-newspaper readers which will be officially listed early next year, the product will be all the answer in January 2009 at the CES.

China SNS site shielding Baidu

In recent days, following the Taobao claimed that after completely shielding Baidu, Sohu blog, 51. Com recognition of shielding Baidu, the school network, Hainei net SNS site also said that the shield Baidu.

An SNS site (Social Networking Services, that is, social networking services) said that the current active SNS sites are in shielding, or is about to shield search engines crawl. Because the SNS is based on the real-name system, if the user information in the search engine caught, the user is a serious infringement of privacy.

The SNS site management staff said that although some records privacy site also set up a "warning search engines can not enter the" password, but some search engine companies and will not abide by these standards, so they had to shield those search engines.

In foreign countries, Personals site Facebook opened up a "refusal to search engine" of the successful models. Facebook Home is almost a blank page, all content need to sign visit, it almost can not be search engine "reptile" crawling, can not rely on search engine traffic, but facebook has made a Dazhan. The Facebook created by this model, the model is also myspace, or "social network."

Some SNS site management staff said that they established a shield bad search Union. Unexpectedly, they found that the alliance reached a certain scale, in-house set up a "social structure", this structure will fundamentally challenge, or even replace the existing search engine.

People all over the world hope that Obama was elected President of the United States

According to the United States abc website reported that U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barak - Obama and Republicans John McCain of white-hot stage has entered the contest, Shuishushuiying is still difficult to predict. However, the BBC launched a survey shows that the people of both countries in the world hope that Obama was elected President of the United States.

It is learnt that the world body GlobeScan poll of Australia, India, Africa, Europe and South America and other countries conducted more than 23,000 visits, the survey of 22 countries around the world. From the survey results, Obama's obvious advantages, I hope he as the next U.S. president's voice higher than its rival John McCain. One of the 17 countries that only when people Obama was elected president, the United States and other countries in the world relations can be improved. Obama to McCain's votes to lead-9% to 82%. In India, compared to 9 percent, while in Kenya the ratio reached a high 82%. In that 22 countries in support of Obama, the average rate of 49 percent, while McCain has the support of only 12 percent, nearly 40 percent of the people did not make a choice. GlobeScan President Doug - Miller (Doug Miller), said: "Obviously, Obama's political views are in the world, and most people agree with, so they want to Obama as President of the United States. The United States due to current international Image in the minds of people of all countries is getting worse, from that point alone, only 20 percent of the people that McCain was elected president will make the United States and other countries the relationship has improved.

Since the end of the Republican Party in last Thursday after the National People's Congress, the relevant bodies of the United States launched three separate opinion polls. One of the results showed that within the margin of error, leading Obama McCain just 0.25 percent, the other two showed that both the same percentage of support. Obama was elected president on the United States to improve relations with countries in the world, including Australia, the performance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries in the most optimistic, they Obama's support rate as high as 61 percent. As early as the 2004 U.S. presidential election before a public opinion poll shows that in the investigation of the 35 countries, 30 countries where the people have hope that the Democratic Party candidate John - John Kerry (John Kerry) can defeat George W. Bush was elected President of the United States.

The survey asked whether in the form of face-to-face and telephone survey of the country being investigated for Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, Poland , Russia, Singapore, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States. Being investigated for a total number of 23,531.

The world's largest LPC today launched, the arrival of human doomsday?

According to physicists networks reported that the large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment in history is the most complex scientific experiments, its main purpose is to open the mystery of the birth of the universe. We filled with the knowledge gaps that exist in the universe that purpose, will be sub-atomic particles accelerated to nearly the speed of light before the collision occurred. In addition, the experiment may also impact on the verification of some of the time the novel theory, the existence of another latitude to answer this question.

In the efforts of the past 20 years, spent 6 billion Swiss francs, from dozens of countries of the 5,000 scientists, engineers and technical staff are to this huge project a reality. Greenwich Mean Time at 7:30 on the 10th (SGT at 15:30 on the 10th), the first batch of Proton will be imported into a 27 km long across Switzerland - French border circular tunnel. CERN (the CERN) headquarters in Switzerland - French border.

As the first step in a long-term experiment, sub-atomic particle beam will be accelerated to nearly the speed of light before the collision occurred, the impact will be in a small space to produce short-term temperature 100,000 times the sun's heat. Analysts will closely watch the impact process, to find elementary particles.

ATLAS (toroidal experimental apparatus of the initials) Bidezhanni spokesman said: "We will enter a new field of physics. On the 10th is a very important milestone." ATLAS is installed in the circular tunnel on the four In a great laboratory. Attached to the ring around the tunnel will monitor the impact detector process.

In a 10-hour-long experiment, the particle beam distance running may be more than 10 billion kilometers, enough to be a between the Earth and from Neptune. The maximum intensity, each particle beam with an energy equivalent to 1,600 kilometers per hour road vehicles. Large Hadron Collider will consume 120 megawatts of electricity, equivalent to all the families of the Geneva electricity consumption.

Two assumptions

The end of the world nightmare

Some scientists worry that the launch Hadron Collider on the issue should be慎之又慎. Indeed, since 1994 and more countries involved in the manufacture of large Hadron Collider, some disaster prophet to be alarmist, "copy" of about 137 million years before the explosion occurred after the initial shape of the universe, will lead to a disaster.

Not long ago, a small number of scientists opposed to the views of the European Court of Human Rights sued. They believe that large Hadron Collider experiment produced a mini-black hole Although the possibility is very small, but this possibility is not there. Once a black hole, the Earth will face the fate of being swallowed up. Some even believe that the consequences far more than simply a black hole, the impact of temporal and spatial structure could trigger catastrophic chain reaction, then the whole universe tear debris. To this end, they were two terrible assumption.

The first assumption: we simply do not see any omen, the more likely the front of one month, for all life on Earth will suddenly end. After this, the terrible earthquake suddenly, the rapid rise in sea level, super tsunami hit the coast around the world.

Ultimately, "the Bible" in the description of the end of the world fell in our human head, to destroy the entire planet.

The second on the assumption that the end of the world more frightening: that not all bodes well, in about one-twelfth seconds, the entire planet in space will disappear. In less than two seconds of time, Earth's moon with the left. After eight minutes, the sun was split in half. After this, the same fate befall other planets in the solar system's head. Even more serious, the space structural cracks caused tremendous damage to the speed of light spread out, to any outside world will come to the end of life.

Four reasons

Will not destroy the earth

"Large Hadron Collider experiment could destroy the earth", the title might help to increase newspaper sales, but the media attention was not the truth, or even deliberately overlooked the important details. Responsible for the collision of the scientists explained that, first of all, than nature can generate large Hadron Collider in the form of cosmic ray particles, the higher the energy of atomic particles. Billions of years ago, they landed on Earth a lot, but we are now is not good to stay on Earth and continue to write about their stories »

Secondly, these mini-black hole is not just some small black hole, they actually only sub-atomic size, that is with electronic or almost a proton. If the large Hadron Collider run for 100 years, these particles all the energy produced can not even lit a lamp. Although the large Hadron Collider, the atomic particles up to several trillion electron volts, but the large Hadron Collider produce miniature black holes may have the greatest rate is one per second, such a small rate is not to any person To be aware of the hazards.

Third, these mini-black hole is very unstable and they will soon collapse. In fact these black hole is in the opposite direction, emit radiation, so will eventually disappeared without a trace, not swallowed up by the material and become more and more, finally devour the earth.

Fourth, according to Sen Beige Weiernahai the "uncertainty principle", have anything in the possibility of some minor, but in this case the probability is very small, perhaps in the universe's life will not have this Kinds of things happen.

Of course, some experts believe that if one thing is very, very rare, possibly in the entire lifetime of the universe will not happen, then the physicist told the media on this kind of thing should not happen.

Have a lot of valuable by-products

The large-scale experiments scientists will also bring some magic by-products, such as improving the treatment of cancer, the destruction of nuclear waste and the method to help scientists study climate change.

In a year, this machine, the two beams of protons to high-speed collision, the data can filled with 5.6 million CD. This means that physicists have developed a sophisticated system for rapid processing of information. They said the grid (Grid) could be used for many other large amounts of data processing system model. Another research project that can hit from the right found in the new nuclear waste treatment methods. The European Particle Physics Institute scientists found, proton beam (a sub-atomic particles) scored Qianban can produce a large number of neutrons (a sub-atomic particles), but these neutrons can be decomposed into radioactive waste The stability of sound elements.

In addition, the European Particle Physics Institute for Medical Research also made a contribution because they found that can be used proton, carbon-or even anti-substances charged-particle beam cancer treatment.

The formation of clouds on climate and weather is a crucial factor, the study may be the European Particle Physics Institute at the centre of controversy, that is, apart from outside the greenhouse gases and whether other factors related to climate change.

Researchers will use Proton Synchrotron from the proton beam simulation of cosmic rays, they scored a so-called "Cloud Room" to see if the film will be a small cloud.

China now has nearly 200 million patients with hypertension

According to the Ministry of Health website news, October 8, 2008, the National Hypertension Day, this year's theme is "self-rated family blood pressure."

China's existing hypertension 200 million people, but the awareness rate of hypertension was 30 percent, the treatment rate of 25 percent, control the rate of 6%, above the "three rate" is one of the reasons for the lower patients do not know their blood pressure levels even That the patients with hypertension medication also feel alone. A considerable number of residents have never been measured blood pressure, only to the hospital for treatment of hypertension when found, even when a cerebral hemorrhage find themselves suffering from high blood pressure.

Chinese Medical Association survey in 2005 in Beijing and Shanghai clinic patients with hypertension 3,812 cases a day of self-blood pressure, 6.8 percent, a monthly self-testing blood pressure of 41.7 percent, only in dizziness, headaches, accounting for 40.9 percent of self-blood pressure. May 2007 to October, the Ministry of Health Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Center and part of Beijing Fuwai Hospital investigating 9,900 cases of community functions in patients with hypertension, blood pressure self-rated 30 per cent.

Called on the family self-rated blood pressure, aims to appeal to the public especially the importance of self-blood pressure in patients with hypertension, timely understanding of their blood pressure, improve treatment compliance, in order to better control hypertension. Self-rated to increase blood pressure in patients with hypertension treatment initiative, and control of hypertension is of positive significance, the differential diagnosis of hypertension, cardiovascular disease and efficacy assessment of the danger were predicted value.

The Ministry of Health for Disease Control and Prevention Bureau to encourage the use of October 8, the 10th of a national hypertension opportunities for self-testing blood pressure in light of local conditions around the meaning and methods of publicity. Exercises held blood pressure expert forum, held large masses of "self-testing blood pressure," the scene missionaries, the Church of self-blood pressure in patients with hypertension way.

Self-rated basic requirements for blood pressure

(1) pressure before the break at least five minutes

(2) cuff and the heart to maintain the same level

(3) sit Kaobei Yi seat, the pressure is not speech, physical activity, keep silent

(4) each pressure three times, choose based on the average blood pressure

(5) storage of blood pressure values or the real record of blood pressure values.

Self-rated among the family of blood pressure, frequency

Self-rated family of blood pressure in three stages:

⑴ initial phase: continuous measurements a day, 7 days from 6:00 to 9:00 measuring between one and three times each, comes average; 18:00 pm to 21:00 between the first measurement, each three times, comes Average.

Excluded from the calculation of the first day of blood pressure, only six days after the calculation of average blood pressure, recorded readings of 12, comes average. ⑵ phase of the treatment: According to the first week of guided self-rated blood pressure medication. Such as changes in treatment, self-testing blood pressure two weeks, with two weeks to assess the average blood pressure effect.

⑶ follow-up stage: such as high blood pressure under control, the proposed self-rated blood pressure once a week, if not control blood pressure, or blood pressure fluctuations, or poor patient compliance, the proposal to increase the frequency of self-blood pressure, a day sooner or later if the test once, or each Self-rated several weeks.

⑷ special circumstances: to identify hidden such as hypertension, white coat hypertension, refractory hypertension, the proposed self-rated daily blood pressure sooner or later the one, continuous measurement two weeks to four weeks.

For 24-hour blood pressure fluctuations changes, to increase the frequency of self-blood pressure, such as the early (6 to 8:00), (12 to 14:00), from 16 to 18:00, night (20 to 22:00) of the first test. Self-rated for two weeks to four weeks.

⑸ long-term observations: the general blood pressure of a weekly self-rated back to that sooner or later the once every three months to repeat the first week of the frequency of self-blood pressure, that is, sooner or later the first day, for seven days. Blood pressure stable, not too frequent advocate of measuring blood pressure.

The impact of factors of self-blood pressure

⑴ device performance, accuracy

⑵ cuff size: the cuff (balloon) is too small, measuring the value of high blood pressure if too much, low blood pressure.

⑶ cuff inconsistent with the level of the heart

⑷ pressure before the rest of at least 5 minutes

⑸ pressure at the arm of speech or activities

⑹ operator prejudice, not true record readings

Self-rated in which blood pressure device

2005 Guide to China's prevention and treatment of hypertension: blood pressure, to promote the use of self-rated by the international certification of the upper arm electronic device. International certification standards are British Hypertension Society (BHS), the United States Instrument Association (AAMI), the European Society of Hypertension (ESH). WHO require developing countries to use the easy access to qualified low prices of automatic or semi-automatic device.

Self-rated definition of blood pressure in hypertension

Under normal circumstances, the family of self-blood pressure measurement of blood pressure is lower than clinic blood pressure, blood pressure, on average, the family self-rated 135/85 mmHg, equivalent to the clinic blood pressure measurement 140/90 mmHg. Extraordinary self-rated family on several occasions the average blood pressure ≥ 135/85 mmHg,, could be considered for the diagnosis of hypertension. Combining the best measurement of blood pressure clinic diagnosis of hypertension.

National Library of China opened a new museum and become the world's third largest library

13-year-old girl shot free throws for 160 in a record-wide basketball

There is no suspense! Yesterday, the many professional players Linzhen retreat of the situation, Wenmingquanguo "basketball prodigy," Song Jing easily hold onto the "Lei Zhu" status, then stand on the challenges of their own arena. 13-year-old Song Jing in Rongcheng perfect before the public has demonstrated her amazing natural shooting consecutive free throws - 160 in all, three-pointers in 50 to 47 in Chengdu has also created a new record in the country shocked.

Women basketball prodigy at all for three consecutive female child prodigy in basketball for three consecutive points in the whole

Challenger said the disparity between the strength of shaking his head "terrible"

Toutian challenges in the race, played a very good "dark horse" Chengdu girl Wang Ruo-yun has not one black in the end, including the institute's students, professional basketball challenger also has dropped, "basketball prodigy" has been made easier on the first Victory. Shen Yong her performance, but also including more than 20 professional basketball players, the challengers have abstained. Yesterday morning, a sports park in Chengdu modern high-tech basketball court at the Tennis Center only two challengers - one is played in 20 balls Sun Jian, who is graduating from the institute's professional basketball-funded.

Around 9:00, Song Jing first station to a three-point line, started the first round of "120 second time limit shots." The first ball pop-up after a basket, small Jing then the entire 11 consecutive shots in the final seconds for the 120 in 22 three-pointers. "This opponent is too terrible!" Aside, when the competition is absolutely normal and the main force of "scoring" the challenger Sun Jian sitting in basketball, kept shaking his head sigh. Ultimately, Sun Jian challenger in 120 seconds, 26 voted in September, then-27-6-for. In the next "50-point percentage" session, on the excellent state of Jing: 50 to 47, only three goals did not, the two challengers were voted 12 to 50 and 50 to 18 in 2s, Song Jing There is no suspense to hold onto their "Leizhu" status.

Perfect display 160 consecutive free throws in the whole

Google Chrome browser will enhance the SOA in the enterprise application

Google in a new browser Chrome being promoted as fast browser at the same time, Chrome browser perhaps in communication with the SOA framework in the course of an important role to play. Google's Chrome browser will allow businesses to visit many Web applications and services. Chrome because of the relationship between the Web application, Salesforce.com for Google Chrome browser Feichangrexin.

Google Chrome browser is perhaps the fastest Web browser. However, Chrome browser may prove to be more important to enterprises, the browser, because it can interact with the SOA.

At least many SOA is such that the authority. "Information Week," said David Linthicum wrote, people should be concerned about some things here. Google is the Chrome browser than the previous browser in the future a big step. Chrome is a true next-generation platform that allows users to access a variety of rich Internet applications and services to enable these services and applications run very well together, whether you use a traditional desktop computers, mobile phones, handheld Computers or cars on the screen.

Linthicum added, with a provision for the use of the Internet or through the provision of services produced within the browser, and better use of the operation and security mechanisms, will we see the SOA bring about revolutionary changes.

Web applications rather than the page

Google partners Salesforce.com Chrome browser for Web services to improve the application of very warm. Salesforce developers responsible for the vice president of marketing Adam Gross said, as more and more we rely on Web applications, business users how to use a web browser changes. This browser and you have not visited the site of the dialogue, their dialogue is the object of your daily life in which the Salesforce or Gmail, and other applications.

Pund-IT analyst Charles King said that although the Chrome browser is the potential impact on the delicate, but Google is still in fact enterprise market. Chrome browser application functionality means that it is a SOA service delivery model of a complex platform. However, SOA and the current application is a corporate image as the center's efforts. He added that, Chrome browser in the enterprise application may take several years.

King explained that the key is the application developers. Chrome browser as a platform for success will mainly depend on developers to seize the attention, let developers create applications need Chrome function of the application.

Mobile Chrome

King said that the Google browser to use Chrome's one thing to do is be able to have a label as the browser of a single cycle. This means that any given site can only undermine it is shown that label. Browser will continue to run itself, such damage would not affect other parts of the system. This is a cool feature.

This resource management Chrome browser means that the real impact might be in the rapidly expanding mobile market. To use mobile devices access to the network, the use of the isolation of resources is the key. Google to see how to use Chrome Android browser and operating system will be very interesting.

Example: King predicted that the Apple iPhone Safari browser running on the ability of this platform has always been the real benefits. Chrome Android browser will provide a higher enhancements.

There are no unexpected things. Google co-founder Sergey Brin in Chrome browser release ceremony, said that after the Android version of the operating system will use many of the functions of Chrome browser.

Taobao release Taobao Open Platform, open API Interface

Yesterday, Taobao released TOP: Taobao Open Platform project, open API, so that third-party developers and development companies to participate in the construction of Taobao in the past.
"TOP Inside": the core of future business

"In the future Taobao will omnipresent, in addition to Taobao station, the buyers will see more of Taobao, because many sites are our trading platform provided." Taobao an engineer, told reporters.

In July this year, Taobao fifth anniversary celebration, Ma said: Wal-Mart has become a synonym for the industrial age retail, the world's largest companies, because it's behind Microsoft's operating system, IBM and Intel chip manufacturers such High-quality computer companies.

"Wintel Iside" is the last century the core business, by virtue of these IT systems, Wal-Mart achieving large-scale procurement and sales, reflects the scale effect, to the greater. It is precisely because they stand on the shoulders of giants, Wal-Mart to get such results.

And the future of the industry will be the main form of on-demand customized, personalized products. For example, it is Shenzhen's factories manufacturing 100,000 mobile phones, and then transported to Hangzhou, Hangzhou consumers and to store Ququ. The future will be, Shenzhen's 100,000 mobile phones will be directly sent to 100,000 consumers inside homes, which will be 100,000 mobile phones under its own consumer demand for customization, such as after you have covered with photographs, this situation In less than 10 must be realized.

This requires the IT support behind the model to be subversive, and Taobao is possible, and with intent to become Dianfu Zhe, not because of Taobao on the existing market size, but because it accumulated over the past five years the understanding of online shopping, these are Unite "TOP Inside" are.

"Microsoft will succeed, because it is at a crucial role, it is a core, we all turn it around. Wal-Mart is the same, they are enough to affect the location of the economy as a whole chain, this model is that we have to Learning. "Taobao, senior director of product research and development and chief architect WANG Wen-bin said.

Microsoft was constructed by the tens of thousands of hardware manufacturers, software developers, consultants and experts, IT departments and users of the Microsoft ecosystem. Microsoft's ecosystem of enterprises, or for Microsoft products to provide services, or to create products based on Microsoft's operating platform, or with Microsoft products work together.

From the IDC research shows that: in 2007 Microsoft and its ecosystem brought about by the activities of the revenue (including value-added or sales tax, personal income tax, social tax, tax and corporate income tax, etc.) is expected to reach 514 billion U.S. dollars. Microsoft and activities related to the IT industry has created a total of 35.2 million jobs in the 14.7 million (2007 global IT total employment of 42 per cent).

The study also showed that: Microsoft launched its operations in various countries to promote the local economic development. Microsoft's cooperation with the companies the revenue far exceeds the revenue Microsoft itself. Microsoft's revenue in the world per dollar, to help its global partners an average of more than seven U.S. dollars of income. In China, India and Russia and other countries, this ratio is more than 1:16.

"We tend to do the entire e-commerce enterprises in the water, electricity, coal infrastructure." Alibaba Chairman of the Board, Ma said: "We believe that 10 years after most of the companies will become e-commerce companies, We should provide a wide range of services to help more businesses, more entrepreneurs to become e-commerce enterprises.

Remote hackers can attack Google Chrome browser

So far, the latest browser from Google Chrome released less than a week, security researchers discovered a buffer zone in the Chrome there are loopholes, this loophole will lead to long-range attack to take complete control of computer users.

This time, security experts detected in the buffer zone attaches great importance to the loopholes, it is in the implementation of the "Save as" command of the boundary error. If you save a Web page services in the malicious content, this process will lead to a large number of overflow error, these errors will be for remote hackers to launch malicious code control of a user's computer to create opportunities.

By then, long-range by an attacker can construct a full page of the malicious code, to take advantage of that vulnerability. Then, the attacker would lure users to open the page, and then save the infected pages, these pages will then download malicious code to the user's computer, so that an attacker can completely control those affected by the computer system.

Security experts said: "The latest test version of Web browser vulnerabilities, a total of six. Which, Chrome of the loopholes found in the buffer zone is the latest release of one of these loopholes, about half allow remote code execution control. In Chrome Tuesday released shortly after, the experts found a loophole in the Chrome, according to testing, and the vulnerability stems from the Safari 3.1.

However, the experts said that it was expected, Chrome test version of these loopholes, may be the next test browser has been cracked, Google will develop the final version of security worries.

SANS Internet Storm Center John Bambenek said: "Chrome is a new product, though, Chrome has many loopholes and details went out of control, but in this beta is very common, especially in the open-source browser Beta. I think Google is not accurate solution before the official not to disclose any information Chrome, so hackers will not take the opportunity to attack. "

At present, there are many users in the implementation of some operations will generate an error, leading to long-range attacks. Experts point out that all this is because the browser is still in the testing stage and not in a wide range of applications.

Searchme: search for a new way

A long time, Google search service in the field of lead status and no one can, in the face of boring the search pages, is not for a change?

Google and Yahoo have invested in Sequoia Capital aimed at the search of a new model - Visual search, and in the near future in the field of Searchme a fifth round of investment, the total amount of investment reached 43.6 million U.S. dollars, Investment institutions also include Lehman Brothers and DAG Ventures, and so on. By Sequoia Capital's favor, more or less can be regarded as the future development of the market is a possible direction.

On a search, the general people will think of is to enter a keyword in the search box, press the Enter key, then all the search results to find the best, this search method for many users with a very good Service, it has made Google's success, but now there are also some users want the search to become more intelligent, more attractive, or even can lead to better visual effects. Reportedly, Google is also a visual search test.

It is unclear whether the success of Google's pilot, but there have been some arrests the eye visual search application, which is more prominent and Searchme SpaceTime, and only use the text line by line to show different results, the new Application results will be used more in the form of visual effects to show. SpaceTime used to display three-dimensional view of search results, Searchme is actually a search engine, like the same page in the form of fans to show the search results pages. The ultimate aim of the two applications are to change the existing search users, with more intuitive, visual way to select the most consistent with the results of their own needs, instead of relying on speculation the search results described in the text to determine which Results in line with their own needs.

Web-based search engine Searchme can work on Windows and Mac operating system, and any major browser, which allows users to search or select a category to improve the search experience. For example, in the search box, enter "the U.S. Open," the right of the search box will display a list of categories, including "tennis," "squash" and "golf", "lottery", then users will be able to choose and They are in need of the most relevant categories, a more accurate search, which revealed that search results will be more in line with the needs of users.

Searchme visual search through the page to achieve the snapshot, keyword search in each and every page highlighted. In these pages show that the bottom will be a parallel scrolls, use the mouse to display pages can be replaced. And the bottom of the page there is a button to display the relevant pages and the text and links list view. Despite the current Searchme can use visual means nearly 10 billion pages indexed, but Searchme not meet the staff, efforts are being made to Searchme search capabilities become more powerful, more relevant search results.

At present, Searchme also testing phase, as to their future business model, or the idea of ads, text links, or in visual page to the image ads.

Salesforce: software Terminator

The various software applications have moved to "cloud" on the future development of the Internet is the new trend of "cloud" has become a leading IT, Internet companies fighting each other for the object.

Makebeini Seleznev (Marc Benioff) is a personal of his nearly two meters tall, is "25 years of software industry veterans." He is "the World Economic Forum,"'s Top 100 "global leaders of tomorrow" (100 businessmen, politicians, artists) one, and Ellison (Larry Ellison), Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), Benioff is a go its own way of idealists, and his role is "software Terminator." Benioff created in Salesforce corporate headquarters, there have to put up with "No Software" (not software) of the warning signs; telephone company is 1-800 - No-Software; Even Benioff clothes, to attend Each of the documents, the court will even be on the cake with this logo.

To create an industry

Benioff the "enemy" is Microsoft. Frankly, Bill Gates of Microsoft is not Salesforce's direct competitor, but Benioff It appears that Microsoft's business model and its desktop operating system monopoly, "is a hateful thing" . Benioff had worked for Apple Computer Inc., after Oracle Corporation (Oracle). Benioff at the age of 27 become Oracle's history of the youngest vice president, and by the company boss Ellison appreciated. In 1999, Benioff founded Salesforce resignation of the company, and Ellison is to vote for his 2 million U.S. dollars and become a company director. "I actually did not take any risks, Larry told me that if I failed, to be back to Oracle." Benioff said.

Salesforce offers an online customer relationship management (CRM) services. In the traditional model, the enterprise CRM projects need a few months time for installation, configuration, training and delivery for enterprises to invest large sums for the purchase of software and hardware. Benioff traditional CRM designed a unique software solutions on the hosting model. In hosting environment, users can customize their own business needs and the use of pure Internet architecture CRM system. Wall Street analysts said Microsoft's business model is selling software CD-ROM and then require users to upgrade several times and collected money from the escalation of costs. The company's Salesforce model On the contrary, once with their service, users will be able to regularly update and no longer needs an update. And the services provided through the network, does not require the installation procedures, do not need to hand maintenance, information equipment spent on the budget will also be reduced.

2004, Salesforce in the New York Stock Exchange, Benioff even choose to CRM as a company to give up the Nasdaq stock code. Salesforce company profits in the year started, 2007, Salesforce's revenue reached 750 million U.S. dollars in the world, with 75,000 corporate customers. "Our goal is not just a rule of the market, but to create a brand new industry." Benioff said, "we will not only have our niche market, but also will create a huge industry and lead the industry Development. "Benioff appears in the traditional concept of the software - the purchase, installation, will be used as the Salesforce" On Demand "(on-demand applications) and the arrival of the end of services, users would no longer need to buy any software, and Hardware, only need to pay an annual fee, they can use their own via the Internet at any time the services they need.

In the computer industry, Benioff's "Salesforce.com model," known as SaaS (Software as a Service, software as a service), which is a rise in recent years, software applications and sales model, and "on - demand software "(on-demand software), ASP (application service provider), Hosted software (hosted software) with similar meaning. SaaS services with the traditional mode of selling software licenses permanently the way are quite different. SaaS not only reduce or eliminate the traditional software licensing fees, and application software vendors will be deployed in the reunification of the server, from the end user's server hardware, network security equipment and software upgrade maintenance-free, customers do not need in addition to personal computers and the Internet Connection other than the IT investments can be obtained via the Internet by the needs of software and services.

AMR Research's survey showed that in the United States all major vertical industries and enterprises of different sizes, more than 78 percent of enterprises to use or consider the use of SaaS services, only 18 percent of the enterprises are currently no plans to use SaaS. As long as the quality and credibility of SaaS will continue to be confirmed, it will not be the charm dissipated. At present in Europe and the United States market, CRM and HR has become the most widely SaaS services.

To the "cloud" deal with

SaaS Fengtouzhengjin to benefit from a series of hardware and network environment conditions to improve, more importantly, some large-scale IT companies really practical action to promote the development of the SaaS services. Google is in this area with the most active promoters advocate. The company CEO Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt), under the leadership of, Google is deploying with the implementation of a referred to as "cloud computing" (Cloud Computing) strategy, which SaaS is "cloud computing" model under the A specific application.

Google's core search technology is the network through the deployment of servers around the world formed a huge computer network, Google search can be achieved on the demand for immediate feedback. Now, Google proposed a new solution that hundreds of thousands or even millions of cheap on a network server clustering, in the calculation of a large number of distributed computers, rather than the local computer or remote server. The network storage clusters will be very alarming, the network can accommodate the countless copies of data, faster to deal with a broad array of data, in the blink of an eye of the answer to the billions of search. Google will be within this massive cluster known as the "cloud" and the "cloud" on the completion of a variety of network services is the process known as "cloud computing."

"Cloud computing" The principle is just like the evolution of human consumption. It is now no longer need to purchase their own generators, but the purchase of large electric power generation business in the online delivery of electricity. In the PC era, people deal with documents, data storage, recreation or through the U-sharing information with others in the local computer must be completed, the process is like everyone has to have a generator. In the "cloud computing" era, these tasks can be handed over to the "cloud" to complete, people only need to use the time from the network calls. Schmidt analogy, "said Yun-calculated" as if the bank automated teller machines, we can not carry out a lot of cash, on demand access.

As the "cloud computing" concept influence on the expansion, Google in the industry in the value of gradually appear. We should know that to the "cloud computing" services on the need for handling the mass of information with relevant capabilities and operational resources. Our text, pictures, click, and any search on the PC can do things that are "cloud computing" industrial raw materials. Today, only a handful of network ownership of these resources giant, Google, is one of the best.

To achieve the "cloud computing", Google programming engineer the biggest challenge is how to control the "cloud" - to increase its data-processing capacity, and related programming and operations with the use of the Internet should be as easy. This means that, first of all to build a new network to share infrastructure, including the calculation of servers, storage servers, broadband and related software and other resources, it can be huge pool of information systems linked by automated software management, Without human involvement. To understand this issue, we must first of all the thoughts back to just a few decades ago in the Internet era, the world is to look at how the network structure, and its future and what will become like.

Internet began in the 1960s, when a packet exchange and a unified standard information transfer protocol, is typical of e-mail, transfer files, released for the press and of speech, known as the first generation of the Internet. In the 1990s, the European high-energy physics research center (CERN) invented a hypertext format, the online distribution of documents link together, it can not only see the text message, you can also enjoy the colorful multimedia information. This phase of the Internet, known as the "World Wide Web," which of the first generation of the Internet. Internet use are two generations of IPv4 agreement, 32 of the address space is only about 4 billion addresses available. As the Internet early lack of planning, allocation of IP addresses "inequality" phenomenon. The mid-1990s, the third-generation Internet technology IPv6 into the laboratory. IPv6 address space expanded from 32 to 128, help to improve end-to-end security, improve service quality management system and reduce the burden. IPv6-based third-generation Internet there are three main modes: NGI, Internet 2 and NGN.

U.S. government from 1996 started on plans NGI (Next Generation Internet), NGI plan focuses on business security and network management, the service is primarily aimed at the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA and other government agencies. Internet 2 is by some U.S. research institutions and representatives of 34 universities in the October 1, 1996 in Chicago by a new generation of the Internet, it is not the original intention to replace the establishment of the Internet, but for education and scientific research. Internet 2 is to achieve the purpose of telemedicine, digital libraries, virtual labs, and the sharing of resources. NGN (Next Generation Network) concept of the United States in 1997 put the "next-generation Internet Action Plan." According expected, NGN is an almost all-encompassing network, including a soft-switched networks, next-generation Internet and next-generation mobile networks. On the current developments in network technology, the Internet, mobile communication technology, such as the integration has become a major trend, which will greatly promote the development of information services.

"Cloud" the opportunities and challenges

Large-scale data center network has become the trend of the next generation of information technology and Internet service basis. With the commercial and scientific data increasingly powerful, data computing power has become a strategic resource and capital. Yahoo research director Pulabaka Raghavan said, "In a sense, the world's five There are, however, the real computer." He means Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, IBM and Amazon. Perhaps, only these companies have considerable ability to be a broad array of network data into computing power and data services through access to betray the interests of the market.

In the past few years, Google has developed an effective "cloud" operating system, making Google the internal procedures to achieve large-scale applications. Google's engineers to create a series of massive support for calculating the "Cloud" of resources, applications, hardware and network configuration. Google Apps is a Web-based applications, the platform on the Google search engine, Google Apps is undergoing a strong synergistic effect. For example, when users log into Gmail, you can use Google Documents, Google Talk and My Maps dozens of software and other services, users can fully completed in the various operating on the Internet, or even via cell phone to achieve. In the traditional mode, the software must be downloaded to a PC can be used after installation, and may be no contact between them. 2007, Google Apps income of 400 million U.S. dollars, accounting for Google's total revenue of 2% to 3%. According to Google Apps users pay 50 U.S. dollars per person per year for the use of terms, 400 million U.S. dollars of income means that this service has at least 8 million paid subscribers, the figures are alarming.

April this year, Google announced that the company started cooperation with Salesforce. Salesforce company Google will begin distribution of application software, network program, the Google technology will be integrated into their customer relationship management applications. Analysts pointed out that the two sides have established an alliance to fight against Microsoft in the desktop market dominance. "The two sides will be the integration of technology in-depth, Microsoft join hands to us." Benioff said, "We hope that with Google's strategy of cooperation can erode Microsoft's office software market, including electronic forms and slideshow software."

Google, the company through the development of a "cloud" of the operating system software统统moved to a variety of applications on the Internet, and no longer needed by PC, through open standards interface that everyone can be in the "cloud" on the creation of application development tools, or . This point, just as we published an article in the blog, and in the past, the page's content to the network technology through the professional staff input. In fact, Google now doing the work so that we have seen more than 20 years ago of Microsoft. At that time, the computer lab is the University of high-tech products, and contact with ordinary people simply can not grasp it. And Microsoft in operating systems, particularly Windows system, which is plug-and-play standards, making PC hardware and software products to the public to understand the way into the consumer market.

"Cloud computing" is one such, Google is also trying to turn the Internet into a real industry, not just professional and technical personnel to understanding the things so that it have the opportunity to go beyond Microsoft to become the leader in the computer industry. Today, there are already many Benioff such as Microsoft's "enemies" of entrepreneurs to join the "cloud computing" industries, such as through the development of online CRM and HR services, has been a good market performance.

Hong Kong-based Team and Concepts Limited (TnC) is a company active SaaS service providers, the company's initial investors include Silicon Valley investment company and the Hong Kong Government Innovation and Technology Fund. June 2007, TnC access to the United States in the first round of the Group of 1.25 million U.S. dollars investment. Company founder David Lee in April 2006 introduced a GAPE similar to Google's online spreadsheet application processing services EditGrid. EditGrid support MS Excel, OpenDocument, Gnumeric, OpenOffice, and other application software to upload into, and in its editorial storage platform on a spreadsheet file can be downloaded for export Excel, HTML, PDF, CSV, OpenDocument, OpenOffice 1.x, Gnumeric , TeX source, XML (styled), XML (simple), and other formats.

This online spreadsheet service functions of processing applications in the end what characteristics it » We used to cite a statistical shares, turnover, and other aspects of data examples. In the traditional MS Excel, it is necessary to artificially from the site to find professional financial data, and then the time of admission to MS Excel, and by calling the function to the final data results. And when we need different time when the data will need to repeat the above operation. In EditGrid, a simple formula definition, you can link directly to data sources professional financial sites corresponding to the different companies in the database. When the data source data changes occur, EditGrid can also automatically update. By clicking on the EditGrid in our definition of the project, the user can operate on a platform to complete a web browser.

Clearly, compared to the traditional MS Excel operation, EditGrid has the advantage of the data collection, collation, analysis and other work in a fully networked platform on the completion of saving time and increasing efficiency. Moreover, users can even forget the e-mail and other tedious things, only to remember user name and password, access to the Internet can be a terminal real-time access to data. This terminal, a notebook computer, of course, can be more mobile.
