These 10 apps trying to awaken in user heart art

As long as people are using smartphones, mostly into a cell phone at least dozens of applications (including native apps more), then what does exist mean?

One of the most common function is to help people make life so organized and facilitated (also has a strange application is to make life of trouble: p); the other is to make links between people and people closer together or separating; in addition, there is a very important function is to pass the time.

Combination of the above three points, seemed can be said to be a pragmatist, "invaded Earth to rule the world of evil", if it is not "useful", it is "meaningless", and "fun" is based on "useful".

So, art?

And in the eyes of many "good" about the meaning of things, even in the information age was given the derogatory. Imagine if something very "artistic", maybe you will think: beauty, personality, elegance, alternative, waste, strange, not practical, lack of understanding, philosophical, chicken ...

Please recall (or imagined) yourself (or people) ever found in the app store application about art, and artistic applications. --I'm afraid few.

In addition to the various Gallery shows, as well as various art information and historical data as content outside the application, artists are thinking more, some of them consider that the application itself can become art, these applications and the role of art as entertainment, inspiration and food for thought.

Based on her Time Jitters for interactive Gallery installation created in the last year, using cartoons and random sound effects together, users can zoom in, zoom out, rearrange animation sound effects on or off, thus creating overlapping collage of Visual and sound elements.

Karen

Karen is the art group Blast Theory's work, across games and narratives of the two fields.

Karen is more like a man, she would ask some questions related to user's views and experiences, but as the dialogue continues, users will realize that there are boundaries between personal and professional lives of Karen, and seems to know something about the user, "she ought to know these things." This may explain it this way: Karen gets the user's description of himself, answers, and other information to engage in dialogue on a mobile phone, but things are not as simple as ... ...

Sounds like a movie presentation, making people feel a little frightening and very curious.

But people in the process of interacting with people, how will cause bad people have no feeling? Journalists think is the meaning of this app with data brings friends of courage! --"Statistics tell I'm black when you".

Field

Abstract art is not to make people dizzy? No, actually, this particular subsection from the Australia video artists, media designer Rainer Kohlberger of audio-visual application only to users who wish to produce their own works of art simple operation mode is provided. Camera input Field using mobile devices to automatically generate the tones, sound effects and geometry, composed of works of art. However, by more than one person in the absence of interpersonal contact and collective experience, the case produced a similar style of the work itself--it may be art.

Monument Valley

This problem causes coins dies

2010 currency designated as the Chief money manager Gavin Andresen said the founder, in accordance with developments continue to decline, coins will appear early next year, serious problems. He played during the coins value speed up "core maintainer" role after stepping down last year, he is still actively involved in related work.

In his view, the transaction's delay is becoming more and more serious, system of coins now worth 3.3 billion dollars, driven people to leave along with the continuous depreciation of the value, it may eventually die out.

Andresen failure prediction stems from the fact that bitcoin transactions cannot handle more than 7 times per second. Compared to similar to the Visa payment system capable of tens of thousands of transactions per second, bitcoin handling capacity was too small, he expects this restriction would weaken the currency in early 2016.

Andresen solution also caused an uproar in the crowd, especially those using coins or people who work for it. He no longer and maintain the currency code developers, published his own solution coins known as BitcoinXT – a software alternative to, and encourage community users to switch to the software.

If, after January 11, 2016, 75% users have adopted this solution, it will trigger a two-week grace period, and improved capacity of higher blockchain. Critics believe that this is the future of playing with coins; Andresen said this was necessary to prevent monetary stifle its own way. Following is the MIT Technology Review interview with Andresen.

Bitcoin limited turnover rate how serious is the problem?

This is a matter of urgency. Throughout bitcoin network volumes, we need to solve this problem within the next four or five months. As we get closer and closer to trading limits, bad things will happen. Network capacity will become overcrowded and unreliable. If you want reliability, it must pay higher fees in the deal, but high fees to get people to stop using bitcoin. Hello Kitty Note 4 Case

Why take such a controversial move, releases new version of bitcoins?

This is a difficult decision. The past eight months I have been lobbied hard behind the scenes, even the developers also agreed that this is a real problem. Now, we have done this thing, and I think people finally realized my idea, this is a matter of high priority. I think from a long-term perspective, it would be a good thing.

Major currency company have agreed to what you propose ways to increase block, some users also use BitcoinXT. There are other companies and major currency developers criticized your actions, and propose alternative solutions. Not all people who support you. Why is that?

This is a bit confusing. There is no clear method to arrive at decisions on modified coins, that is not a correct answer can solve this problem. Quite confusing, there is no Central Committee, no one can for the coins to make these decisions, it needs to run the software of unanimous consensus.

Do you think we can reach an agreement?

It is obvious that block maximum will be increased. However, I don't know how much, or exactly when increased. I think it is not yet clear, my proposal will allow users and all other ecosystems have sufficient consensus.

If no measures are taken, what's supposed to happen?

Trading would be unreliable, as time goes on it will get worse. My worry is that there is no serious incident will bring to people's attention – leading to currency slow death. I tried to ring the alarm, "if we don't do this, coins will be dead within four years. "But when there are so many controversies, no one accepts the idea.

If the BitcoinXT starts, it admitted that the existing coins, but does not admit that people without the conversion system of new coins from, it would be dangerous?

No one will be abandoned. When bitcoins core software see 50% have been upgraded, and you're not, then it will upgrade warnings to you. And converted the economic incentive will very strongly--you definitely want their currency and others.

How is bitcoin development?

It is firmly planted in several niche areas, and continues to grow. Early use cases is that people use bitcoin transactions with international contractors, because it's easier than US dollars into local currencies. Bitcoin main obstacles to mainstream, is to make it as part of your normal life in some way, let coins to be payment of income, but don't know how it became mainstream. I think, in those with abnormal banking system or payroll system places bitcoin can lead into the mainstream.

But don't invest your life savings on the coins. It is still a pilot project, it may still fail.

One year free can maximize Microsoft share

Lei Feng network press: Windows 10 free was to be expected, concern is users really accept it?

Yesterday, Microsoft opened the Conference, released a Windows 10. Conference shines a lot. The brightest of all Windows free--Microsoft Announces 10 Windows 7, Windows 8.1, the users can enjoy a free upgrade to Windows Phone8.1 Windows 10 February to complete the upgrade. One thing to note: Microsoft Windows 10 free upgrade is conditional, the 1th time is within one year of free upgrades.

Why Microsoft free?

Some say did not resolve the fragmentation problem. This assertion is not accurate. For PC, fragmentation is not a problem. Unlikely because the effect of what already exists and there is no problem to change their lending policy.

In the past fiscal year 2013, Windows to one-fourth Microsoft's direct contribution to revenues. While free time is limited to one year, although limited to users of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Phone8.1, Microsoft is still a large amount of revenue for boondoggle. This is not a small amount of money. Microsoft cannot be fragmented to make this decision, it must be the result of careful consideration.

Free, and add a one-year limit, only one goal, in a short time, achieve maximum Windows market share of 10. Victorias Secret iPhone 6 Plus Case

Great article market share.

At that time, Microsoft is using its monopoly position to get Netscape. Today, Microsoft yesterday, paving the way for their Azure cloud--without a doubt, the cloud is already uncertain future. Cloud services, Google, Amazon, both of which are competitors to be reckoned, and was founded in 2007 by upstart Dropbox, valued at up to 10 billion dollars. Cloud services market competition is fierce. Microsoft needs more advantage to ensure that its own market share. This advantage can be technically, can also be a service, either as a recruit, or it can be waizhao. As long as valid. From the Windows start 10 is a good waizhao. Imagine in Windows using Microsoft's Azure cloud on 10 easier, more convenient and faster, users will naturally come. Especially business users. When users of Microsoft's cloud to a certain degree, the Matthew effect, more and more users. Microsoft is good at doing this kind of thing. Real Player is dead. Microsoft always outside the competitive advantage of its head.

In addition to the Azure cloud platform, also has another purpose, for Sparta browser provides a sufficient number of the target user group.

Today, the browser once again to a strategic height. For Microsoft, its importance, and to some extent, even more important than the war and Netscape. The future is big data in the future, the data will be a technology company's most important asset, and no one. Google search for access to vast amounts of data, nature of the search in Google is very easy to collect data. Facebook data collection is very easy, it has congenital advantage. Amazon focused on shopping, the data type is single, but, for now, Amazon's data is the most valuable data – there are more direct than consumption of economic activity? Big data is basically a service of economic activity. In addition to the browser, Microsoft, nothing's going to collect a lot of data (collected data through the browser, search quality has overtaken Google for Bing). So, like browser components are heavy. To compete for a bigger share of the browser market, Microsoft introduced a new browser, Sparta (do not know if the Spartans fierce).

In addition, the Windows 10 increase in market share, also echo the three-screen one. Once developed, three-screen application. Application developers need to develop only once, it can be seamlessly applied to Windows of 10 desktop, flat screens and mobile phones. This is one of Microsoft's most important deployment this year, once again tried to bring the advantages of desktop software developers into mobile space (perhaps it was not a good idea. PC and Smartphone screen size screen size difference is too big. PC application designs and ideas are not suitable for smart phones). This Smartphone application will multiply. IDC data show that WP Microsoft Smartphone global market share is still less than 3%, even lower than a year earlier. Too low market share allows developers to generate the motivation concerns WP platform, shortage and lack of letting users have little incentive to buy WP equipment. While Microsoft's app store now boasts 560,000 applications, while Microsoft provided a basis of common application 80%, but Microsoft platform used quality far below Google and Apple, but still has a lot of the latest and hottest applications without the Microsoft version. Microsoft was caught in a cycle of first, the chicken or the egg. Microsoft hopes to solve this problem. Does not solve the problem, mobile space Microsoft can only be a spectator. Lost mobile, Microsoft will lose the future.

Then, free to gain market share?

This is the best choice. It has come to our attention, Win7 has become the highest utilization rate after years of Microsoft's operating system, but it's not Win7 success nor the user's desire to upgrade are WinXP after you die, users are forced to use the Win7. If it's not Microsoft "lay down" is WinXP,Win7 first is hard to say. In other words, if you want to increase market share, will give users an urgent desire to upgrade. Desires come from? Free. It is the best choice, of course, is the only option.

Systems experience, Samsung and all other international companies choose to be consistent--move closer to the native Android system, compared to before the Samsung fully customized systems, more modern, more fresh, naturally, was easier to use.

Lenovo s rumored acquisition of Marvell looks like a good marriage

Recently, the sources said, Lenovo or buy chips for $ 19 a share company Marvell. At the time of the market close on February 2, Marvell shares were at $ 15.40, in other words, Lenovo 23.4% premium bid.

In this regard, the global Vice President Ding b Marvell declined to comment on rumors. On a conference call after the earnings release, Yang yuanqing, Lenovo's Chairman and CEO, denied this news.

It is interesting from Lenovo's latest earnings, Lenovo has been actively looking for investments and acquisitions have made sufficient preparations. Reported associations at present, bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents totaled $ 3.991 billion. Lenovo said, the Group has maintained a reorganization of liquidity, and arrange the credit line for a rainy day.

Lenovo will hand, acquisitions Marvell meaning where? We do the analysis.

Veteran vendor Marvell KENZO iPad Mini Case

Marvell (makway technology group, now renamed happy), was founded in 1995 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, has a research and Development Center in Shanghai, China, is a high speed, high density, digital information storage and broadband digital data network market, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits design, development and supply vendors.

Marvell by Indonesian overseas Chinese Zhou Xiuwen Dr and his wife Madam Dai Weili, brother Zhou Xiuwu, co-founder of the. Zhou Xiuwen is Indonesian Chinese, Dai Weili simply was born in Shanghai, and read a few years in the High School Affiliated to Fudan University, and China has deep origins.

Marvell area where a lot of PC hard drives, motherboards which often see Marvell chip.

In the smart-phone, the more famous events in 2006 Marvell acquired Intel's Mobile Division, the best mobile performance PXA series processor back door (2007, Apple released the iPhone, sparked a revolution in consumer electronics, Intel it's too late).

At the beginning of 3G development in China, Marvell was the first to launch TD-chip company, when the outspoken ZTE U880 is Marvell's chips. KENZO iPad Mini Case

However, in recent years, with the rise of China's domestic chip-design industry, Marvell has begun to lag behind in December 2014, Marvell PXA1936 also released eight-core 64-bit processor cannot support LTE CAT6, Hass and Qualcomm is already supporting LTE CAT6.

In Smartphone chip, Marvell technology is not too far behind and still remain profitable, but the customer has become more and more difficult to find. Vertical integration to all mobile phone manufacturers, Marvell also needs a downstream vendors.

Face competition in association

Lenovo in 2014 to win IBM x86 Server Department, won the Motorola to become the world's top three smartphone makers, is complacency.

Motorola brand recently returned to China market, dual-brand strategy is very clear.

However, as competition intensifies, Lenovo also exposed two problems, one is in addition to Association of the world's top five Smartphone manufacturers are vertically integrated, chips independently, ensure supply and competitiveness, while Lenovo does not.

World Qian five of phone manufacturers is Apple, and Samsung, and Lenovo, and Huawei, and millet, Apple since Institute phone processor, schema completely himself design, performance world first, keep Apple in high-end of competitiveness; Samsung of chip also performance excellent, from 2010 began has use years, and Samsung also has Flash, and memory, and screen, and camera package of upstream industry, competitiveness powerful; Huawei Hass after years honed, in 2014 Chase near Qualcomm, reached world advanced level, Kirin 930 this years frequently let, Ready; the relatively weak millet is also working with core, to take advantage of cheap products in core competitive super low end of the market.

But Lenovo does not have its own powerful chips, you need to purchase controlled by others, this is Lenovo's first weakness.

There is a soft spot is patent, Lenovo itself in terms of mobile phone based patents are weak, later bought Motorola gets some patents, but Motorola was from Google's mouth vomit, Google's acquisition process, the most valuable patents have been stripped out, Lenovo's patent capital hard to get strong, in the battle of the future international patent may not be able to get cheaper.

Not easy to marriage

Marvell need downstream manufacturers, Lenovo just smartphone industry for the first three, and PC industry giants, Marvell, directly or indirectly, are working closely with the Association.

Company needs to chip technology, complete industrial chain integration, Marvell chip technology, but also profitable company needs patents the basis of communication to deal with future patent war, Marvell has said, its invested a lot in research and development, has acquired nearly 5000 United States patents.

Both sides need each other, are strongly complementary, acquisitions were right for both sides, is in heaven.

However, this looks beautiful also has its difficulties.

First of all, Marvell has a market value of about $ 8 billion, this volume is a giant company, Lenovo got $ 4 billion in cash, Marvell also needs considerable courage to eat. If financing acquisition, the financial burden will have a big impact. Eating such a big company is not an easy thing.

Secondly, Marvell, a United States upstream companies, Chinese takeover of United States national security will inevitably be speculation, the approval will be in trouble.

In addition, Marvell and the IBM computer, Motorola mobile phone is different, it is a technology company in the upper reaches, large differences in style and consumer electronics companies, Lenovo to digest good IBM computers may not be able to digest good Marvell, if, after the acquisition of a large number of technical staff turnover, developed to order, subsequent chip support cannot be provided, the acquisition does not make sense.

Finally, the merger of upstream and downstream industry chain will cause psychological disorders to the customer. Lenovo's own chip, MTK and Qualcomm will leave a hand of cooperation with Lenovo, Marvell has associations, other mobile phone plant commercial Marvell chip is a question mark.

So the rumor about Lenovo's purchase of Marvell, the industry is considered reliable, because the two are indeed needed. Lenovo Marvell neither admitted, suggesting that two fully took into account the difficulties of merging and intentions into action also needs consideration.

However, from the perspective of trends in the industry, vertical integration is inevitable, Lenovo does not purchase Marvell, Spreadtrum, rockchip these enterprises may also cooperate, Marvell is indeed a very nice object at the current stage. Just seemingly perfect marriage is not easy.
