And you thought making off with 39 iPods in 15 seconds was something to behold. After studying said crooks in Utah, a trained team of larcenists headed over to Apple's Sagemore location in Marlton, New Jersey in order to one-up the duo by snagging even more goods in under a minute. As the surveillance shows, a single blunt object decimated the iconic glass doorway and enabled five hyped-up thieves to enter, snag 23 MacBook Pros, 14 iPhones and 9 iPod touches, and head for the hills -- all in just 31 seconds. Look, we aren't trying to glamorize crime or anything, but this is the stuff GTA heists are made of. Head on past the break for a look at the video, and please, don't try to replicate this at your nearest Apple store (without wearing a head-mounted camcorder and hooking us up with the footage, of course).

 

 

  

Today Apple filed with the FCC the following answers to their questions.

We are pleased to respond to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau’s inquiry dated July 31, 2009, requesting information regarding Apple’s App Store and its application approval process. In order to give the Bureau some context for our responses, we begin with some background information about the iPhone and the App Store.

Apple’s goal is to provide our customers with the best possible user experience. We have been able to do this by designing the hardware and software in our products to work together seamlessly. The iPhone is a great example of this. It has established a new standard for what a mobile device can be—an integrated device with a phone, a full web browser, HTML email, an iPod, and more, all delivered with Apple’s revolutionary multi-touch user interface.

Apple then introduced something altogether new—the App Store—to give consumers additional functionality and benefits from the iPhone’s revolutionary technology. The App Store has been more successful than anyone could have ever imagined. Today, just over a year since opening, the App Store offers over 65,000 iPhone applications, and customers have downloaded over 1.5 billion applications.

The App Store provides a frictionless distribution network that levels the playing field for individual and large developers of mobile applications. We provide every developer with the same software that we use to create our own iPhone applications. The App Store offers an innovative business model that allows developers to set their own price and keep more (far more in most cases) of the revenue than traditional business models. In little more than a year, we have raised the bar for consumers’ rich mobile experience beyond what we or anyone else ever imagined in both scale and quality. Apple’s innovation has also fostered competition as other companies (e.g., Nokia, Microsoft, RIM, Palm and Verizon) seek to develop their own mobile platforms and launch their own application stores.

Apple works with network providers around the world so that iPhone users have access to a cellular network. In the United States, we struck a groundbreaking deal with AT&T in 2006 that gives Apple the freedom to decide which software to make available for the iPhone. This was an industry first.

We created an approval process that reviews every application submitted to Apple for the App Store in order to protect consumer privacy, safeguard children from inappropriate content, and avoid applications that degrade the core experience of the iPhone. Some types of content such as pornography are rejected outright from the App Store, while others such as graphic combat scenes in action games may be approved but with an appropriate age rating. Most rejections are based on bugs found in the applications. When there is an issue, we try to provide the developer with helpful feedback so they can modify the application in order for us to approve it. 95% of applications are approved within 14 days of their submission.

We’re covering new ground and doing things that had never been done before. Many of the issues we face are difficult and new, and while we may make occasional mistakes, we try to learn from them and continually improve.

In response to your specific questions, we would like to offer the following:

Question 1. Why did Apple reject the Google Voice application for iPhone and remove related third-party applications from its App Store? In addition to Google Voice, which related third-party applications were removed or have been rejected? Please provide the specific name of each application and the contact information for the developer.

Contrary to published reports, Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application, and continues to study it. The application has not been approved because, as submitted for review, it appears to alter the iPhone’s distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone’s core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail. Apple spent a lot of time and effort developing this distinct and innovative way to seamlessly deliver core functionality of the iPhone. For example, on an iPhone, the “Phone” icon that is always shown at the bottom of the Home Screen launches Apple’s mobile telephone application, providing access to Favorites, Recents, Contacts, a Keypad, and Visual Voicemail. The Google Voice application replaces Apple’s Visual Voicemail by routing calls through a separate Google Voice telephone number that stores any voicemail, preventing voicemail from being stored on the iPhone, i.e., disabling Apple’s Visual Voicemail. Similarly, SMS text messages are managed through the Google hub—replacing the iPhone’s text messaging feature. In addition, the iPhone user’s entire Contacts database is transferred to Google’s servers, and we have yet to obtain any assurances from Google that this data will only be used in appropriate ways. These factors present several new issues and questions to us that we are still pondering at this time.

The following applications also fall into this category.

Name: GVDialer / GVDialer Lite

Developer: MobileMax

info@mobile-mx.com

Name: VoiceCentral

Developer: Riverturn, Inc.

4819 Emperor Blvd., Suite 400

Durham, NC 27703

Name: GV Mobile / GV Mobile Free

Developer: Sean Kovacs

sean@seankovacs.com

We are continuing to study the Google Voice application and its potential impact on the iPhone user experience. Google is of course free to provide Google Voice on the iPhone as a web application through Apple’s Safari browser, just as they do for desktop PCs, or to provide its “Google-branded” user experience on other phones, including Android-based phones, and let consumers make their choices.

Question 2. Did Apple act alone, or in consultation with AT&T, in deciding to reject the Google Voice application and related applications? If the latter, please describe the communications between Apple and AT&T in connection with the decision to reject Google Voice. Are there any contractual conditions or non-contractual understandings with AT&T that affected Apple’s decision in this matter?

Apple is acting alone and has not consulted with AT&T about whether or not to approve the Google Voice application. No contractual conditions or non-contractual understandings with AT&T have been a factor in Apple’s decision-making process in this matter.

Question 3. Does AT&T have any role in the approval of iPhone applications generally (or in certain cases)? If so, under what circumstances, and what role does it play? What roles are specified in the contractual provisions between Apple and AT&T (or any non-contractual understandings) regarding the consideration of particular iPhone applications?

Apple alone makes the final decisions to approve or not approve iPhone applications.

There is a provision in Apple’s agreement with AT&T that obligates Apple not to include functionality in any Apple phone that enables a customer to use AT&T’s cellular network service to originate or terminate a VoIP session without obtaining AT&T’s permission. Apple honors this obligation, in addition to respecting AT&T’s customer Terms of Service, which, for example, prohibit an AT&T customer from using AT&T’s cellular service to redirect a TV signal to an iPhone. From time to time, AT&T has expressed concerns regarding network efficiency and potential network congestion associated with certain applications, and Apple takes such concerns into consideration.

Question 4. Please explain any differences between the Google Voice iPhone application and any Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications that Apple has approved for the iPhone. Are any of the approved VoIP applications allowed to operate on AT&T’s 3G network? Apple does not know if there is a VoIP element in the way the Google Voice application routes calls and messages, and whether VoIP technology is used over the 3G network by the application. Apple has approved numerous standard VoIP applications (such as Skype, Nimbuzz and iCall) for use over WiFi, but not over AT&T’s 3G network.

Question 5. What other applications have been rejected for use on the iPhone and for what reasons? Is there a list of prohibited applications or of categories of applications that is provided to potential vendors/developers? If so, is this posted on the iTunes website or otherwise disclosed to consumers?

In a little more than a year, the App Store has grown to become the world’s largest wireless applications store, with over 65,000 applications. We’ve rejected applications for a variety of reasons. Most rejections are based on the application containing quality issues or software bugs, while other rejections involve protecting consumer privacy, safeguarding children from inappropriate content, and avoiding applications that degrade the core experience of the iPhone. Given the volume and variety of technical issues, most of the review process is consumed with quality issues and software bugs, and providing feedback to developers so they can fix applications. Applications that are fixed and resubmitted are approved.

The following is a list of representative applications that have been rejected as originally submitted and their current status:

Twittelator, by Stone Design Corp., was initially rejected because it crashed during loading, but the developer subsequently fixed the application and it has been approved;

iLoveWiFi!, by iCloseBy LLC, was rejected because it used undocumented application protocols (it has not been resubmitted as of the date of this letter);

SlingPlayer Mobile, by Sling Media, was initially rejected because redirecting a TV signal to an iPhone using AT&T’s cellular network is prohibited by AT&T’s customer Terms of Service, but the developer subsequently fixed the application to use WiFi only and it has been approved; and Lingerie Fantasy Video (Lite), by On The Go Girls, LLC, was initially rejected because it displayed nudity and explicit sexual content, but the developer subsequently fixed the application and it has been approved with the use of a 17+ age rating.

Apple provides explicit language in its agreement with iPhone developers regarding prohibited categories of applications, for example:

“Applications may be rejected if they contain content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, sounds, etc.) that in Apple’s reasonable judgment may be found objectionable, for example, materials that may be considered obscene, pornographic, or defamatory; and Applications must not contain any malware, malicious or harmful code, program, or other internal component (e.g. computer viruses, trojan horses, ‘backdoors’) which could damage, destroy, or adversely affect other software, firmware, hardware, data, systems, services, or networks.”

And we also provide a reference library that can be accessed by members of the iPhone Developer Program that lists helpful information such as Best Practices and How To Get Started.

Question 6. What are the standards for considering and approving iPhone applications? What is the approval process for such applications (timing, reasons for rejection, appeal process, etc.)? What is the percentage of applications that are rejected? What are the major reasons for rejecting an application?

As discussed in the response to Question 5, Apple provides guidelines to developers in our developer agreement as well as on its web site regarding prohibited categories of applications. These materials also contain numerous other provisions regarding technical and legal requirements that applications must comply with, and Apple uses these standards in considering whether or not to approve applications.

Apple developed a comprehensive review process that looks at every iPhone application that is submitted to Apple. Applications and marketing text are submitted through a web interface. Submitted applications undergo a rigorous review process that tests for vulnerabilities such as software bugs, instability on the iPhone platform, and the use of unauthorized protocols. Applications are also reviewed to try to prevent privacy issues, safeguard children from exposure to inappropriate content, and avoid applications that degrade the core experience of the iPhone. There are more than 40 full-time trained reviewers, and at least two different reviewers study each application so that the review process is applied uniformly. Apple also established an App Store executive review board that determines procedures and sets policy for the review process, as well as reviews applications that are escalated to the board because they raise new or complex issues. The review board meets weekly and is comprised of senior management with responsibilities for the App Store. 95% of applications are approved within 14 days of being submitted.

If we find that an application has a problem, for example, a software bug that crashes the application, we send the developer a note describing the reason why the application will not be approved as submitted. In many cases we are able to provide specific guidance about how the developer can fix the application. We also let them know they can contact the app review team or technical support, or they can write to us for further guidance.

Apple generally spends most of the review period making sure that the applications function properly, and working with developers to fix quality issues and software bugs in applications. We receive about 8,500 new applications and updates every week, and roughly 20% of them are not approved as originally submitted. In little more than a year, we have reviewed more than 200,000 applications and updates.

RT，有图有真相。

绿坝软件预装通知被误导出台始末
http://tech.sina.com.cn/it/2009-08-20/08513368540.shtml
这篇文章披露，绿坝软件是李毅中部长被下属欺骗的结果，李部长知晓原委后，大发雷霆。从该文看，绿坝已经被终止。
其实很多政策，都是中层几个年轻的贪得无厌的人喝茶的时候，哥几个一高兴来个个红头文件，接着坐收其利。

主推绿坝的软件服务司副司长陈英想到了新出厂的PC。“在网吧、学校一直是强制安装的思路，这时继续沿用这个做法”，据上述行业资深人士透露，当5·19通知送交工信部部长李毅中签字的时候，李毅中对这一做法曾有疑问：“这么做是否可行？”
　　对此，软件服务司以“这是国际通行做法”来汇报。这句话打消了李毅中的疑问。
“非软件专业”人士李毅中，对自己不熟悉的事情，询问了专业的软件服务司，得到了肯定的回答，于是，“绿坝文件”就这样从工信部大院直接下发各大PC企业，要求从7月1日起出厂的电脑必须预装绿坝软件。
　6月16日，李毅中接到了19家行业组织的联合致函，据看到这封信复印件的知情人士称，信中强调：“这个计划引发了一系列严重问题，包括安全、隐私、系统可靠性、信息自由流动以及用户选择。我们呼吁中国政府重新考虑实施这些要求。”
　　这19家行业组织来自全球，都是行业里的“重量级人物”，包括美国商会、美国全国制造商协会、美国对外贸易委员会以及美国半导体行业协会，还包括日本、欧洲和加拿大的行业组织也参与了署名。
　　据传言，李毅中接到这封信后，在弄清了“国际通行做法”原委后，“大发雷霆，严厉批评了软件服务司”。
　“暂缓安装，其实是一种避免丢脸的做法，也是明智的做法。暂缓到何时，没人知道，也许一直暂缓下去也说不定。暂缓，这等于已经宣告，不强制安装了”，
正如预料，8月11日，李毅中在国新办的新闻发布会上表示，中国不会强制要求在个人电脑及其他消费产品上大规模安装绿坝互联网过滤软件
李毅中强调：“这个文件的缺点、毛病是考虑不周，没有表述清楚，给大家的印象好像是强制性的，所以在社会上引起了比较大的反响。我觉得绝大多数的意见都是善意的，都是对我们工作提出的意见和建议。”

关于麦客孤独论坛的声明

前言－－－

前提我要说明我现在使用的华硕笔记本是木饭提供的，这个不容置疑，

但是我多年辛苦经营的论坛－被你卖掉了！！能拿华硕笔记本来相提并论？

木饭还记得年初答应三个月后给我会员数据吗？现在过了5个月了，给你发信息你理都不理？

而且你口口声声在群里和会员说你是创始人，你是吗？大家的眼睛是雪亮的，你也只能骗

骗新会员，老会员谁不知晓。

那次会员捐款连同外币一共两万多，钱你和老黄说交服务器费了，你别忘了我们在杭州的时

候论坛现在的服务器费用寥总已经交了，那钱呢？天知地知！！

你现位于江苏江阴滨江西路2号江阴软件园的 汉光羽天 是金总的关系吧，想知道我怎么会知道吗？

你先是把黄哥踢了，接着踹金总吧！ www.macgood.com 域名是你的吗 是寥总的吧？

是我们团队的吧，我们六个人在杭州三个月是为谁在服务，我怎么感觉是拿黄哥和寥总的钱，却是帮你打工啊，

MCT 汉化组织是你麦芽地的吗，是你木饭创办的吗？？？你知道MCT的含义吗！！！ MCT不

属于你！属于我们麦客孤独论坛广大会员，你是MCT成员吗？？

MCT会员也不傻，我离开后他们发表过新作品吗，你只不过是想要MCT汉化作品来给你卖钱，

现在麦芽地的所谓几个MCT成员通过我们创办人的通过了吗！他们是MCT成员吗，我的帐号都被你删除了谁给他们审核的，谁认可的？是你吧？

在我写这个公告的时候我最后问了木饭一次，给不给我数据，以下是木饭的回答：【要数据你(麦客孤独)没资格，让寥哥问我拿数据，网站木饭说付款给寥哥了？】

希望大家能看的懂，不要再上木饭【范未浩】的当了

我在杭州时记得木饭和我说过一句话【我们有这么多会员数据信息，做什么网站都有用－现在我才明白在把我们骗去杭州前他就已经在开始策划阴谋了】

记得在衣服网有天晚上你打电话交小陈出去吃饭，我和老黄就在旁边，小陈在电话里问你，要叫我和老黄吗，你说不要叫我们，你知道我已经一天没吃饭了

你也知道我身上没钱了，但你又是否记得就在头天我身上的50多快是怎么花的吗，记得我们一起去买菜吗，记得我们两个人一起做饭，说心里话我很怀念！

你说你没钱了，我也就没说什么了，你说卡里面没钱也就我这个傻瓜会相信，等你有钱了吃饭却把我丢一边，而且是在我没钱的情况下！！！

呵呵 算咯，不说了，说多了我空间不够啊 ^_^

真相－－－

鉴于麦客孤独论坛的数据被服务器提供人木饭所持有的现状，本人（麦客孤独论坛创始人）特做出以下声明：

1，麦客孤独论坛的名称不容变更，木饭擅自更换了论坛的Logo，名称以及域名，在论坛中屏蔽麦客孤独的字眼，以网络备案为借口，企图霸占论坛，用心不良。【其实我早在国家信息部查域名了，那个时候你更本就没报备，我上午和你说我现在域名报备问题，你下午就借口关了网站并假惺惺的说要换域名】

2，木饭在后台修改【删除】了帐号“麦客孤独”（uid=1）的密码，导致论坛创始人不能登陆论坛，无法执行任何管理权限，自2009年元月开始，也拒绝论坛创始人行使对论坛数据及附件备份的权利

3，木饭窃取了本属于麦客孤独论坛所有的域名 HYPERLINK "http://www.macgudu.org" www.macgudu.org（注册到：洪礼杰），并将其域名指向错误页面。现在论坛使用的域名 HYPERLINK "http://www.macgood.com" www.macgood.com 也于2008年夏季被木饭骗取。

4，可可果下载站所提供的收费下载内容绝大多数都是去年时候论坛创始人“麦客孤独”所上传的，木饭将其用于非法牟利之用，违背了当初提供服务器时“非营利”的承诺。

5，在没有征得创始人同意的情况下大肆撤换版主，论坛原管理员中除了hansyuwiwb之外均被撤职。另外还删除了论坛创始人之“麦客孤独 和 杰少”的帐户以及其所发的所有帖子。元老之一“Lovee”也因为反对木饭的种种行为而被论坛禁止发言。

鉴于以上情形，本人特发出声明，对于木饭－范未浩－这种将论坛霸占的行为予以强烈谴责，希望广大麦友也对其进行谴责，我们麦客孤独论坛的人员将撤离并保留进一步行动的权利。

那些被蒙骗的可可果会员，不要再上当了，清醒吧，那些所谓国外正版软件国内代理全部都是盗版的！！！

木饭是个吃了东家再吃西家的。。。

说实在我很佩服木饭的忽悠功夫，真的很厉害～

自白－－－

本站是非盈利网站，经过多次的网站突变遭遇，我也开始沉默了！现在我不想再折腾什么了，我只想做个博客和小型论坛来怀念过去美好的回忆。麦客孤
独最早起源于2003年10月份，那时候我再天津工作，也是因为在其他论坛提问，人家不但不帮忙还冷言讽刺，我就想能不能自己做个论坛，因为自己没服务
器，当时只能用TOP的免费论坛来圆自己的梦想。当人气逐步上说时，2005年因为跳槽到了山东，邪门的发现在山东无法上当时的麦客孤独网站，所以我就
新建了在TOP的第二个麦客孤独论坛，在第二个论坛正在火热中，大家开始说自己做服务器，但是钱从何来，我也是个普通的打工仔，没能力承受。2007年
当时正好咖啡有服务器，所以大家第三次手动搬家致咖啡提供的服务器，但是好景不长，咖啡提供的服务器因为种种原因，被IDC给停止了。2008年我们被
迫暂停，

正好木饭说自己是做IDC的可以免费【无偿】提供服务器，而且还说只管理服务器运行，不会参与论坛管理，没想到我既然被卖了，还好我多少得了个华硕笔记本
我只问一句木饭我对不对得起你？你对不对得起我！！！这句话不用你现在回答我，你五年以后或十年以后再给我答案。
直到目前2009论坛再次变故，所以我不再想说什么，我希望我能有完全属于自己的麦客孤独网，但是就我目前的经济状况是完全不可能实现的。自从杭州回
来后，工作没了，开店亏本了，夫妻感情也开始变化了，突然间感觉自己什么都没有了，真的有几次想自我了断！真的很感谢Lovee给于我经济和精神上的支持。Lovee能从日本打国际长途和我聊天，木饭却在我最需要朋友安慰的情况下，打了个电话却说他打错电话了，就挂了线？？？！！你难道就不能问声兄弟好吗，难道我们之间无法可说，有仇吗？？？
但是我的梦想我还想实现他，所以我希望在您力所能及的情况下能捐赠本站，或赞助本站空间！孤独在此感谢！！！

麦客孤独发展到今天您们的功劳是不可忽视的，没有你们的支持，也就没有麦客孤独论坛的今天！

我文化低，没什么水平，不会说好听的话，我仅以个人名义给您们鞠一个躬，以表我的谢意。千言万语再于此。

即日起本站暂时采用HTTP静态空间维护，原因有几个方面，原来PHP动态维护需要数据库支持，数据库一年一两百元这个开支我无法继续，我只能采用静态空间，现在空间是100MB 空间费用一年好像是120元，域名费用一年58-100元，而这只是100MB空间得费用。现在空间维持费用完全是Lovee提供给我的，我现在甚至连网线都没能拉，我只能在早上去网吧上一个小时的网来维护，而且还不能经常去，因为我现在给人家看场子，晚上2-3点下班，早上10:30上班，我只有少睡下，早上8点多起来去网吧上下！我相信我不会倒下，不会趴下，有朝一日我有能力拉网线了，我宁愿使用免费论坛，也不会再和谁说要无偿空间了？我会鞠躬尽瘁继续免费为广大麦友服务！

麦客孤独论坛衰落和被抢夺的经过

 

麦客孤独论坛衰落和被抢夺的经过

麦客孤独论坛是创办人“麦客孤独”自 2005 年辛辛苦苦创办起来的，其中的很多资源是他起早贪黑上传并发布的老大辛苦死了，哎“楚人一炬，可怜焦土”阿///因此也吸引了很多人气，这样持续到 2007 10 月，由于...

当初服务器的问题(免费服务top浙江),论坛转而采用由咖啡提供idc 机房空间。而好景不.. 由于论坛内容问题，必须搬迁。至此找到了“木饭”这个人... 倒霉阿倒霉...

先简单说一下当初制定的管理层管理原则：凡是论坛大的处理事项，必须由全体管理层同比如开设新区，板块改名，规则制定等。言论自由，不可随意压制(违反版规或国家法

不过木饭接手这个论坛后，开始并没有什么大的干涉。到了后面，在没有进行管理层讨论和决定过程的情况下，私自升级论坛，改变论坛版面。但是论坛还是依照创世人“麦客孤jzhcctv)”说的算

到后来我实在无语，气愤离开mg(发展方向的分。这个决定也许是个错误。mg 的管理层开始混乱。到2008 年下半年，创始人“麦客孤jzhcctv)”几乎不参与任何论坛的管理。在此期间论坛管理层也有过几次商讨和会议......

最终也只剩lovee 这一个人在进行前台管理，那段时间管理的确实不错，论坛很干净。不过因为某些原lovee 被惹气了(貌似是这。结果就mg 管理层权利架空，木饭乘虚而入（事实上他早已经占有 mg 了）

最恶心的事情开始发生。木饭找来一些人开始对论坛进行管理。还曾经讨论关于改革的措施，改版面阿，发展方向一类的。在没有经过允许的情况下，私自将论坛的板块改变成现在的模曾经有过公示，不过并没有进行全论坛性的讨论)

某一天，因为国家对网络查的很严，木饭说了一堆关于备案方面的问题。借备案这个问题，将域名和 logo 改为 麦芽地。我无从知晓备案问题是否存在，也许是用来改名的幌子，也许是真的存在。从此～麦客孤独不复存在

改名这个问题引起了广泛的争议，一些老会员和版主都发过相关的主题商讨此事，结果都被一一删帖(还有言论自由么!)。接下来创始人“麦客孤独jzhcctv”连后台管理都进不去后台进不去，无法对论坛进行管理，创始人无法管理自己论坛，成何体统.......

创始人因为“木饭”丢掉稳定工作，为黑社会看管赌场。大概是 09 年三月份，麦克孤独论坛创始人之一的杰少，因为评论某一问题，被删掉 id!。并且“麦客孤独”这四个字被屏蔽。更有甚者，创始人“麦客孤独”用自己id 无法登陆论坛。相当于被禁止！

之后，木饭创造了“可可果”。可可果中提供的 mct 组员所制作的的汉化包，在没有经过某mct 组员的同意下，私自放上提供下载。可可果中的资源，有一部分(很大一部分或者一部分我不清楚)是老大辛辛苦苦上传的资源。但是“可可果”缺有一定的商业性质..也就vip 下载

之后，创始人曾有一些抗议，不过也不了了之了(木饭 and 麦芽team 不要阻碍了发展进)... 为了利益，可以牺牲掉用户的体验，用户的感受，和好不容易建立起来的名声。缅怀当年的麦客孤独。ps: 创始人仅有小学文凭

 

 

macfans论坛TieShu版主的声明（转载）：

这里说下，我转这个，只是因为我佩服macgudu他早期的努力和坚持

 

不希望国内一个旗帜性的苹果论坛被某些人搞臭搞乱～

 

 

虽然我一直蹲在macfans，但是作为一个关注国内苹果文化和发展的人，我也同期在关注所有苹果论坛、blog等相关资源

 

作为一个万年潜水员，macgudu到@@@，到maiyadi的发展，我虽然不是局内人，但是也见证了其中的发展和兴旺

 

现今的局面，是我并不希望看到的，但是已经发展到这样了，只希望能尽力保障一些苹果用户的权力，不要在某些不必要的地方上当受骗

 

沙发里的贴子，是macgudu所写，之前我曾经因为杂志特约用户等方面，和他接触过几次再之前，我在macgudu\@@@论坛里，从部分版主里，也得知macgudu本人的情况和性情
而木饭此人我在08年上半年也接触过
在上海期间，从几个网友和朋友那里，也都了解过杭州的苹果圈子和发展
所得到的结果，差不多都是macgudu所说的情况，基本属实w

说实话，咱们坛子也出过几次大的波动，相信大家都还记得。。。。。。
不光是服务器自身，其中很多macfans因为理念不同，而选择自立山头的也不少
我一直在关注，书签里最多的时候曾经有100多blog，40多个论坛。。。。。其中不乏就有一些出自我们坛子里的发烧友
也有人劝过我自己出去作个坛子，虽然也是mac为主的，但是内容是以我个人爱好的diy\设计\新概念产品等方面为主，不过因为我比较懒，所以也一直没作起来，嘿嘿
另一个方面来说，每次有人从坛子里自立出去，就是对坛子的一个伤害
别的不说，单单说这些自立出去的人，其中就不乏技术顶尖的发烧友～
作为一个潜水n年，最近2年才蹦出来溜达的网友，我对这个坛子的感情还是很深的
每次看到当年的大侠高人，现在都开始潜水甚至离开，自然是不希望坛子就这么沉沦下去

今天转macgudu的这个公告，实际上是半年前的事情了，今天看到macgudu再次提了出来，也考虑到近期坛子里骗子不断，所以想了想，就转了，提醒一下大家，网络上面危机四伏，请小心。。。。。。

害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无！

先看屏蔽掉学校和各办事机构的 再看所有机构的 看来PoliMi就不行，反而是米兰大学比较牛 最后是我的结果

看这个视频

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwave%2Egoogle%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded

  

google wave产品如果成型，必将联合myspace, youtube, facebook, twitter等等门户性博客，微博客，视频，即时通信和邮件（估计是它们自己的google talk），网盘等等网站，挤得什么msn啊，spaces啊，还有国内的那些个山寨网站啊毫无市场。国内的这些从业者，要么改投给google wave写插件，要么就不好意思失业去了。当然这个前提是google的这项服务能够进得来中国，这个可能比较困难（这个可是比facebook的share牛比得多的传播方式），所以还可能出现力挺某流氓网站的局面。因此现在说这个问题应该还是比较早，问起来结果应该是人民和领导的意见分三派的结果。

今年WWDC看的我是不行了，崩溃了。现在机器也想卖了，手机也想卖了！！！！谁收？

这次被和谐的有live spaces， flickr, twitter。

不说脏话不行了啊！

仅献给5年以来的Filefront.com以及Forgotten Hope Forum。

 

3月24日Filefront的所有者Ziff Davis宣布由于经济危机的影响，他决定关闭Filefront网站以及所有与其相关的论坛服务。所有这些服务的使用者被给定了一个所谓可以在其网站上下在资源的最后期限，3月3０日。

此举一下在游戏界中引起轩然大波。一直以来，Filefront作为游戏资料的library，以其优秀的文件管理搜索系统以及较快的下载速度（即使在国内单线程都能达到50kb/s），和完全无广告无注册的非营利性运营机制赢得了大多数玩家的支持。12年来，Filefront已经发展成为了一个拥有超过一百五十万份游戏资料，超过48TB资源，并且同时运行各大主流游戏第三方论坛的综合性游戏社区。

 

提到Filefront，就不得不提到Forgotten Hope Forum（以下简称FH）。可以说许多玩家接触Filefront就是从接触FH开始的。5年前，当Filefront还是一个名不见经传的小网站时（当时这种网站正是被FilePlanet(IGN旗下)或者Gamespy这样的财大气粗的公司的相同网站打压得最惨的时候），一个以战地1942为基础的历史真实性Mod出现了，这个Mod就是FH。(中间先小插一句：对于EA这个更是有钱的公司来说我是很不齿的，但是我一直很赞赏它能把战地系列做成Modable。新的1943先不做评论）面对这样一个比原版游戏还要大一半的mod，开发团队一时竟然找不到一个可以稳妥的服务器来搁置他们如此庞大的下载资源。考虑到FH的制作组也是非营利性的，租借服务器要大笔资金（他们到现在还只有一个很小的专题网站，其他资源都是放在别人那里，比如游戏视频放youtube等等），他们与Filefront一拍即合，移师其服务器，并建立了相关论坛。一时间拉去了不少游戏迷以及二战军迷。于是在随后的五年里，在FH的帮助下，Filefront成为游戏玩家家喻户晓的门户资源网站。

 

在这次变故中，受害最深的无疑就是Filefront中的FH用户了。为了保证FH及相关论坛的正常运作，Lightning老大带领论坛火速移师一个德国网站。对于这次突如其来的离别，老大写的很中肯：

Hello everyone,
As of yesterday evening, the entire FileFront forum and consequently also our Forgotten Hope forum were taken offline permanently, without warning. Due to the current economic recession, Ziff Davis, the owner of FileFront, has decided to indefinitely suspend all of FileFront and related sites. Unfortunately, this also includes bf1942files.com, on which the Forgotten Hope website is hosted. Whereas the forum is already gone, FileFront users are given until March 30th to download any files they may have hosted on the site.

This means that as of March 30th this website will go down. We are currently in the process of finding a new place for our website and forums, but until then we have created a blog, which you can find here. We will continue to keep you posted on the development of Forgotten Hope 2 on our new blog until we find a new place for our website.

If you have any questions, please visit our IRC channel and we will try our best to answer them. Please note though, that none of us was informed about this decision and we were not aware what happened until earlier this evening.

Forgotten Honor Italy Campaign! by: Lightning

 

Hello and welcome back,
After a few sleepless nights, we are now finally done moving all our content from FileFront to our new host warumdarum.de. Before we say anything else though, we would like to give a warm 'Thank you' to our long time supporter and owner of our new host Flüstertüte and AndyGr42, without whom such a speedy transition would not have been possible. They have been a great help, not only with our website and developer forum, but also with our brand new public forum.

We would also like to thank FileFront, for the past 5 years our reliable host. It is a real shame such a great community has so suddenly disappeared, but some of the old forum staff is already working on a new forum. We will of course keep you up to date on these events as we learn more.

Last but not least, we also want to thank all those in the Forgotten Hope community who have offered to host our website and forums. We have received dozens of offers and we really appreciate that so many people would want help us out so quickly.

You can now find our website at: http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de

You can find our new forum here: http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php

We hope you will enjoy our new forum and, as usual, feel free to join our IRC channel to discuss this announcement.

FileFront Shutting Down! by: Lightning

 

 

这次ＦＨ跑得是快了些，随后的几天里，Filefront的创办者们宣布他们自己从Ziff Davis手中买回了Filefront，并且相关业务将继续运作。而我们再次登陆filefront的网站找ＦＨ的时候，发现原来那个界面早已不复存在了。

关于这次变故，Filefront似乎说的很轻松：

 

Welcome

FileFront has been acquired by the original founders of the site and will NOT be suspended as previously announced. This is NOT an April Fool's Joke.

After learning about Ziff Davis Media's plan to suspend FileFront at the end of March, the original founders of FileFront made the decision to buy it back from Ziff Davis Media.

We're happy to announce to the gaming community that as of today, April 1st, 2009, FileFront is a completely independent company again and is no longer part of Ziff Davis Media. All previously suspended services should be active and working again. We thank Ziff Davis Media for their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and community alive.

Due to the very unfortunate timing of this event and related announcements on March 24th and April 1st (April Fool's Day), we'd like to make it perfectly clear that:

1) 1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront suspending its operation was NOT an early April Fool's joke.

2) This announcement about the original founders buying back FileFront from Ziff Davis Media is also NOT an April Fool's joke.

3) We're making this announcement on April 1st because the deal was completed today and we want to bring all services back online immediately.

4) We would NEVER suspend FileFront as an April Fool's joke.

5) We are happy to be back!

FileFront has existed in one form or another (originally as FileLeech and Voodoo Extreme's downloads) since 1997. In the last 12 years, FileFront has become the gaming community's most comprehensive and trafficked library hosting millions of files for thousands of games while requiring no registration and providing uncapped download speeds. We look forward to improving FileFront and serving the gaming community for years to come.

Welcome home. Game On!

 

只是没有了背后大公司的支持，以及ＦＨ的玩家群体，不知道Filefront还能够撑多久。

 

其实不仅仅是ＦＨ，ＦｉｌｅＦｒｏｎｔ这样的非营利性组织才会有这样的命运。营利性的机构照样有赔本垮台的一天，而且还总是发生在著名组织身上。前面就写过一篇日志来缅怀我们十几年前westwood的C&C（具体请点击这里）。然后，在3月26日，THQ宣布勇气传说已经送厂压制，4月6-8日上市的时候，江湖上又传出THQ不景气要倒闭的传闻。虽然英雄连的玩家在Filefront中也有论坛，但是他们基本没有受什么影响，毕竟他们官方的论坛在Relic那里，即便是Filefront和THQ都倒了也无所谓（因为Relic不像是那么容易就死的）。然而我们始终也不想在送走C&C以后再看着英雄连系列在勇气传说处画上句号。

于是，Lightning还在忙于两个论坛的管理工作：由于分家，弄得新老论坛上都是一片抱怨；THQ则希望在勇气传说中挽回市场：毕竟对于英雄连来说，上一个抵抗前线实在是急功近利敷衍市场的产物；而英雄连的玩家，则是摩拳擦掌等待勇气传说中传说中的新体验……

 

最后希望Filefront和FH Forum越办越好，也希望勇气传说能够成功。

我们复活节后体验！！

话说前一段一直有人说nv84 86核心的显卡有问题，一直没有在意。今天早上发现机器开不开了，摁电源就是开机的声音一遍又一遍的播放，机器重启个没完，黑屏没有任何显示。

想到本来机器就过保了，而且自己换了硬盘，就拆开来看看（虽然说我也看不出什么问题来）。有人说可能是内存硬盘的问题，就换上了原来的硬盘和内存，还是不行。一想算了，只有花钱修了，把硬盘和内存换了回来，竟然好了！！！！

还有头一天晚上曾经出现过xp轻微花屏和无故重启的问题。

我是不是真的中大奖了？
