????? 日前，一款名為Color的免費(fèi)手機(jī)應(yīng)用程序引起了人們極大關(guān)注,。這款程序旨在創(chuàng)造一種能充分利用智能手機(jī)獨(dú)特技術(shù)的社交體驗(yàn),。用戶(hù)能在虛擬日記本里分享和存儲(chǔ)圖片及視頻。他們除了查看自己的多媒體資料外,，還能訪(fǎng)問(wèn)在自己附近,、與自己同時(shí)登陸的其它用戶(hù)所分享的多媒體資料。Color的團(tuán)隊(duì)同樣引起大家關(guān)注：其成員包括來(lái)自L(fǎng)ala的比爾?阮,、來(lái)自BillShrink的皮特?菲姆以及LinkedIn前首席科學(xué)家DJ?佩蒂爾,。Color在軟件發(fā)布前獲得了來(lái)自紅杉資本（Sequoia Capital）、貝恩資本（Bain Capital）以及硅谷銀行（Silicon Valley Bank）的4100萬(wàn)美元投資,。（《財(cái)富》）
????? 蘋(píng)果（Apple）負(fù)責(zé)Mac軟件工程的高級(jí)副總裁伯特蘭?瑟蘭德宣布離職,。瑟蘭德同時(shí)還是Mac OSX操作系統(tǒng)的架構(gòu)師之一。他表示：“我同史蒂夫?喬布斯共事22年,。在NeXT和蘋(píng)果,，我度過(guò)了產(chǎn)品開(kāi)發(fā)生涯里無(wú)以倫比的時(shí)光。不過(guò)現(xiàn)在,，我希望將更多精力放在科學(xué)而不是產(chǎn)品上,。”格雷格?費(fèi)得里尼將接替瑟蘭德的職位,。（《財(cái)富》）

????? This week, the startup everyone's buzzing about is Color, a free mobile app aimed at creating a social experience that maximizes the smart phone's unique technology. Users share and store photos and videos in visual diaries -- besides being able to view their own media, they can also view media shared by other users nearby and logged around the same time. Color's also worth noting because of its team -- Bill Nguyen of Lala, Peter Pham of BillShrink, and DJ Patil, formerly chief scientist of LinkedIn -- and $41 million pre-launch funding from Sequoia Capital, Bain Capital, and Silicon Valley Bank. (Fortune)
????? Apple senior vice president of Mac software engineering Bertrand Serland, one of the architects of the Mac OSX operating system, is leaving. "I've worked with Steve [Jobs] for 22 years and have had an incredible time developing products at both NeXT and Apple, but at this point, I want to focus less on products and more on science." Craig Federighi will take over. (Fortune)
????? Meanwhile, Twitter creator and Square co-founder Jack Dorsey could reportedly return to the social network. Though the title of CEO has been thrown around, it's much more likely he'd serve as something like Chief Product Officer. (Business Insider)
????? Yahoo announced Search Direct, a search engine feature resembling Google Instant where suggested results populate a drop down window as you type in search topics. Yahoo SVP of Search Products Shashi Seth notes the differences between the two, however. "They're very different products," he said. "We're focused on providing answers, not links. Google Instant is focused on providing more links, faster. Not answers. We believe the next generation of search regardless of whether it's on the web or mobile, they're looking for answers, not links." (TechCrunch)
????? Google has quietly launched its own full-length online magazine, the U.K.-based Think Quarterly, a -- yep, you guessed it -- quarterly publication with the goal of "breathing space in a busy world." The first issue proves to be a 68-page dive into the world of data and its impact on business. (Mashable)
????? According to TechCrunch and ComScore, MySpace's traffic decline is accelerating. Between January and February 2011, worldwide unique visitors to MySpace dropped by 14.4% from 73 million visitors to 63 million visitors, half the audience they had a year ago. (TechCrunch)
????? Windows Phone 7 owners, rejoice! Thanks to an update rolling out to users this week, you may now copy and paste like the rest of us smartphone users. (Digital Trends)
????? Looking to wiggle out of that T-Mobile contract before the carrier gets snatched up by AT&T? You're definitely not alone. (Fortune) |
