从 HTML 5 和 Flash 之争看开发者社区
Posted at 14 Nov 2011
过去的一周的一个大事件是 Adobe 宣布放弃移动版的 Flash 开发，而全面转向 HTML 5，为 HTML 5 与 Flash 之间的争论画上了一个句号。
这场争论开始于 2010 年 4 月，Steve Jobs 在苹果官方网站上发表的 Thoughts on Flash。在这篇文章中，他列举了包括开放性、性能、电池续航、对触摸交互的支持等多个理由，最后结论于 iOS 的生...
App 群星闪耀时
Posted at 16 Oct 2011
最近是北京最好的季节。秋高气爽，夜晚的天空也一样晴朗，抬眼望去，天空中繁星闪耀，令人心旷神怡。一次和朋友在家附近散步，被这样的美景所吸引，同时也想起在移动互联网的浪潮中诞生的如同繁星闪耀般的 app 们。尽管全球经济并不景气，但在这个世界里，最年轻的聪明的头脑都在思考并忙碌着，创造各...

早上起床，知道的第一个消息是 Steve Jobs 去世了。我不知道在经历了过去的种种跌宕起伏之后，这个清瘦而高大，嗓音有些尖锐，被很多人称为英雄、伟人和天才的人在最后的时光中是如何看待外面的世界。就在北京时间前天凌晨，他的继任者 Tim Cook，新任的 Apple CEO，和他熟悉的团队成员宣布了新一代的 iPhone 的硬...
Brewing
Posted at 28 Jul 2011
I like the word “brew”. It usually takes extra care, patience and thoughts to make sure things are aligned precisely correct.
It is like what we are working on right now - an idea-level refresh on the product. Everyone now starts to rethink about their design, code, documentation and process. We discuss several times everyday to keep each of us in the golden state of sync. Sometimes I am really amazed by our ...
The Shift
Posted at 18 Jul 2011
This Monday, according to my work log, I spent 5.5 hours on brainstorm sessions. On product, business and design, I chatted with different people on or not on my team to find the golden point of the next breakthrough. This is the beauty of working on a start-up: you come up with a bright idea, and work your ass off, and then you come back again to the meeting room to find the next iteration to work on. This cycle ...
Prettier Excel Charts
Posted at 04 Jul 2011
I am working with a summer intern on visualizing trends on the mobile Internet in China. We use the Microsoft Office stack extensively all the way through. I find that over all these years, the default setup for charts in Excel is still to improve. I summarized some tips below FYI so you can easily apply to make the (bar) charts prettier.
Choose your theme color to highlight and use greyscale colors for the rest...

Yo: I'm doing an interview right now. The person does android. I asked her the difference with Android compared to other systems. She said Android is made by Microsoft and iPhone by Apple.
Yo: Awesome. Can I post it on my Tumblr?
Yo: Sure. What's your Tumblr account?
熟悉
Posted at 19 Jun 2011
生活的节奏变快了，便越来越没有时间思考细微的选择。在购买的时候，往往屈服于熟悉两个字。
比如前段时间买来的登机箱，其实完全可以省下一半的钱。但是买箱包这件事所带来的哪些繁琐，想起来就觉得是累赘，需要仔细甄别真假、颜色和款式，还不如就去已经知道的那家店，买同事已经买过的款式和颜色...
Business Cards

Yo: Is there a back for the GH business card? If it's the same on both sides, can we do one side in Chinese, and one side in English?
Yo: We keep the back blank.
