????中興、華為加入大屏智能平板手機(jī)大戰(zhàn) 路透社

????中興公司（ZTE）近日剛剛發(fā)布了由意大利設(shè)計(jì)師斯蒂凡諾·喬凡諾尼操刀設(shè)計(jì)的Nubia平板手機(jī)，現(xiàn)在又計(jì)劃推出一款名叫Grand S的5英寸大屏手機(jī)，與此同時(shí)，華為（Huawei）也推出了一款名叫Ascend Mate的大屏手機(jī)，屏幕尺寸達(dá)到了驚人的6.1英寸，只比亞馬遜（Amazon）的Kindle Fire平板電腦小了一點(diǎn)。

????英國(guó)ABI Research公司的高級(jí)分析師約書(shū)亞·弗拉德稱：“用戶們已經(jīng)意識(shí)到，一臺(tái)屏幕達(dá)5英寸的智能手機(jī)并不是笨拙不便的設(shè)備?！?/p>

????為什么人人都覺(jué)得谷歌打敗了聯(lián)邦貿(mào)易委員會(huì)？《新共和周刊》

????美國(guó)政府的執(zhí)法機(jī)構(gòu)是很強(qiáng)大的。與一支足球隊(duì)不同的是，它并不需要不擇手段地獲得成功，而是要做對(duì)國(guó)家來(lái)說(shuō)是正確的事。聯(lián)邦貿(mào)易委員會(huì)（FTC）對(duì)谷歌（Google）發(fā)動(dòng)調(diào)查沒(méi)錯(cuò)，阻止谷歌的某些做法也沒(méi)錯(cuò)，讓案子以調(diào)解告終，而不是把谷歌打得舉手投降，這種做法也沒(méi)錯(cuò)。作為一個(gè)被告企業(yè)，谷歌還是比較清白的。谷歌這次之所以幸免于難，并不是它游說(shuō)參議院或資助共和黨所掏的那幾百萬(wàn)美元起了作用，而是因?yàn)楣雀韫こ處焸兯O(shè)計(jì)的服務(wù)既實(shí)現(xiàn)了效益的最大化，同時(shí)也避免了違法行為猖獗蔓延。

????社交媒體能賣(mài)肥皂嗎？《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》

????越來(lái)越多的市場(chǎng)咨詢師都對(duì)社交媒體推崇備至，稱它是未來(lái)絕對(duì)不可忽視的一股力量。他們認(rèn)為，如果Facebook、Twitter、Tumblr 或 Google+等社交網(wǎng)站上的好友能為一款商品做活廣告，那么就一定會(huì)起到很好的廣告效應(yīng)。這是一種新的口碑效應(yīng)，而口碑效應(yīng)一向是營(yíng)銷學(xué)的黃金法則。而且這些社交網(wǎng)站吸收的海量數(shù)據(jù)也向廣告商們描述了一幅“精確定位”的美好愿景——廣告是如此及時(shí)，與用戶的生活息息相關(guān)，因此人們一定會(huì)歡迎它們。人們對(duì)這場(chǎng)革命的熱情令整個(gè)市場(chǎng)對(duì)社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)陷入了一種狂熱——同時(shí)也把他們推向了失敗的邊緣。

????聯(lián)想（Lenovo）近日發(fā)布了兩款新的一體機(jī)。其中聯(lián)想C540是一款入門(mén)級(jí)的一體機(jī)，配備了一塊23英寸的1080p顯示屏、酷睿（Core） i3處理器、8GB的RAM、英偉達(dá)精視（Nvidia GeForce）615顯卡。聯(lián)想IdeaCentre730一體機(jī)更加令人印象深刻，它是去年發(fā)布的聯(lián)想IdeaCentre A720的升級(jí)版，被定位為蘋(píng)果的iMac競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手。?IdeaCentre 730的厚度只有1英寸。它配備了一塊2560 x 1440的多點(diǎn)觸控顯示屏、酷睿i7處理器、2GB的英偉達(dá)精視GT 745M顯卡、8GB的RAM、1TB混合型硬盤(pán)。

????Handset makers scurry to join the Year of the Phablet?[REUTERS]

????ZTE, which collaborated with Italy's designer Stefano Giovannoni for the Nubia phablet, is scheduled to launch its 5-inch Grand S, while Huawei brings out the Ascend Mate, sporting a whopping 6.1-inch screen, making it only slightly smaller than Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet.

????"Users have realized that a nearly 5-inch screen smartphone isn't such a cumbersome device," said Joshua Flood, senior analyst at ABI Research in Britain.

????Why does everyone think Google beat the FTC??[THE NEW REPUBLIC]

????The law-enforcing agencies of the federal government are powerful, and?unlike a football team, aren't supposed to try to win at any cost; they are supposed to do what is right for the country. The Commission was right to investigate Google, right to stop the practices it did, and also right to settle the case instead of beating the firm into submission. In the end, as corporate defendants go, Google was pretty clean. What saved the company weren't the millions Google wasted lobbying Senators or paying Republicans to be its friends. It was its engineers, who designed its services in a way that maximized effectiveness while avoiding rampant illegality.

????Can social media sell soap??[THE NEW YORK TIMES]

????Growing legions of marketing consultants are pushing social media as the can't-miss future. They argue that pitches are more likely to hit home if they come from friends on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Google+. That's the new word of mouth, long the gold standard in marketing. And the rivers of data that pour into these networks fuel the vision of precision targeting, in which ads are so timely and relevant that you welcome them. The hopes for such a revolution have fueled a market frenzy around social networks — and have also primed them for a fall.

????Lenovo updates its laptops and all-in-ones with multitouch for Windows 8?[THE VERGE]

????Rounding up the new line-up are a pair of all-in-ones. The Lenovo C540 is an entry-level all-in-one with a 23-inch multitouch 1080p display, Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and Nvidia GeForce 615 graphics. The IdeaCentre A730, however, is a little more impressive. Positioned to take Apple's iMac head-on, the update to?last year's IdeaCentre A720?is just an inch thick. It's configurable with a 2560 x 1440 multitouch display, Core i7 processor, 2GB Nvidia GeForce GT 745M graphics card, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hybrid drive.
