臉書（Facebook）上周悄悄在臉書應用程式開發商部落格宣布，軟體開發商將可取得使用者的地址與手機號碼等個人資料。此舉再度引發隱私權爭議，促使臉書日前宣布暫時取消與開發商分享會員個資的功能。
臉書開發商關係部主管博迪（Douglas Purdy）18日在部落格撰文說：「我們將儘快推出更新，目前將暫時解除這項功能，直到做好修改為止。」他預期此功能經改良後，將在未來數周內重新推出，屆時將協助使用者確定唯有在自己有意願的情況下，才提供報關行個人資料。

What you need to know about wax and paint sealants
There is probably no chemical used in the detail business today that is more misunderstood than waxes and paint sealants. When asked by the editors of Professional Carwashing & Detailing to do a story on these two products, the first thing I did was contact knowledgeable individuals involved in the formulation of these chemical products.
Kim Wilson is a chemist with U.S. Chemical and Plastics and has nearly 30 years of experience in the formulation of chemicals. Dave Phillips is a principal at P & S Sales and in charge of the company’s chemical formulations.
There is no function in our daily lives that does not involve wax. Formulas and variations are used as coatings to beautify, lubricate, laminate, and insulate. And, in detailing, they are used to protect.
The chemical and physical properties of waxes differ and vary. How the waxes are gathered, produced, and refined affects the properties and composition. As well, other ingredients used in the overall formulation affect the properties of true waxes. As a result, the term wax has been erroneously and carelessly used over the years, nowhere more than in the detailing business.
The various kinds of waxes
There are a number of waxes available that can be used to formulate a good automobile wax:
• Vegetable waxes; i.e. carnauba;
• Animal waxes; i.e. bees wax;
• Petroleum waxes; i.e. paraffin and microcrystalline.
• Mineral fossil waxes; i.e. montan;
• Synthetic waxes; i.e. ethylene polymers
When considering a formulation, chemists consider the waxes’:
• Hardening characteristics;
• Melting point;
• Water repellency; and
• Resistance to breakdown.
Most waxes will provide protection and shine for no more than 60 days, under the best conditions.
What is the best wax?
According to the chemists, when it comes to wax, there is no real advantage of one form over the other. Which form is chosen has to do with what the formulator is trying to achieve:
• A low cost;
• Ease of application and/or removal;
• Emulsification properties;
• Protection; and/or
• Gloss.
Actually, there is no difference between hard pastes, creams, or liquids if we are talking about true car waxes. Given the formula has a high percentage of wax; the form does not affect the product.
However, some spray waxes or fast waxes on the market have small amounts of wax and silicone in them so they offer very little protection and have little durability. Most retail, off-the-shelf products have very little wax and are loaded with abrasives, evidenced by the powdery residue present upon drying.
Sealant vs. wax
Since the term “paint sealant” hit the market, there has been a great deal of misinformation disseminated on the product. Some believe many of the manufacturers or marketers of paint sealants do this intentionally.
For those of us in the detail business there must be a clear distinction between these two protection products. You need the information in order to convey to your customers honest information. You know why a wax is a wax and what it will do with regard to protection and shine. The remainder of this article will provide you with similar information on paint sealants.
A sealant is something that seals. But if a wax seals, is it also a sealant? Technically yes, but typically sealing is not one of the requirements of a wax product.
Sealants may have wax in their formulation but because of the other ingredients; they are more than just a wax. If a wax has some of these other ingredients in its formulation then it is properly not a wax, but a paint sealant.
A paint sealant for the detailer is any product that forms some sort of cross-linking film over the surface of the paint that forms a durable barrier on the surface that will last for a considerable length of time.
What does a sealant contain?
Like waxes, sealants can include in their formulation solvent, wax, water and amino functional silicone fluids held in suspension by emulsifiers. They can take the form of creams and liquids.
You also will see ingredient terms like polymer and resins, or polymer-resins. These are marketing buzzwords.
The polymer
Wilson defines a polymer as a macromolecule formed by the chemical union of five or more identical combining units called monomers. Silicones and resins can be generalized as polymers. The list of polymers available to chemical formulators is practically endless.
Phillips also defines a polymer for us in the simplest descriptive sense: "Poly" meaning many and “mer” meaning unit. So, any chemical that consists of endless repeating identical units is a polymer.
Examples of polymers include polyethylene, polyurethane, and polytetrafluoroethylene. For example, polyethylene is simply many units of ethylene.
In the detail chemical business, the word polymer is the single most abused word you will find. For example, most of the thickeners used in detail products are polymers, which make it suspiciously easy to put the words “contains space-age polymers” on the bottle.
What is a resin?
Wilson defines resin as a semi-solid or solid complex amorphous mix of organic compounds; animal, vegetable, or synthetic (man-made).
According to Phillips, the chemical dictionary definition is so broadly used it has almost become meaningless. It is a catch-all term. To be specific, resin is a polymer that melts or is soluble in specific solvents. In some cases, the material used to make a plastic is a resin. If you see the term resin on the label of detail product how do you know what it means? The answer is: You don’t. In short, the use of resin, polymer, etc. is marketing jargon.
Silicone fluids
Silicone fluids are a relatively short chain inorganic polymer called polydimethyl siloxane. (Note the prefix "poly" before dimethyl siloxane.) Technically, a silicone is a polymer. So, to see the word polymer on a sealant label could mean anything as the definition becomes clearer to us.
The properties of silicone fluids range from very thin, volatile liquids that look and feel like petroleum solvents to very thick and heavy liquids that look like clear honey. The only difference between a thin and thick silicone fluid is the number of units in the dimethyl siloxane chain.
Almost all waxes and sealant products have some type of silicone fluids in them to provide shine and durability.
The amino-functional silicones
These are silicone fluids that have been slightly modified. The polymer content is different. The amino portion of the amino-functional silicone is what causes the silicone to crosslink and physically attach to the paint surface.
This cross-linking capability is what makes a paint sealant more durable than a wax. Typically, waxes only include standard silicone fluids. Therefore, they are not as durable as a paint sealant.
What is teflon®?
Teflon® is a trade name of DuPont Chemicals for a polymer, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). In spite of what some detail chemical companies may say, Teflon is a polymer that is not well suited for use in a paint sealant or wax because of several properties unrelated to its durable slippery nature.
Teflon is a powder that melts at 600° F or dissolves in fluorinated solvents such as Freon. Those are the only known ways to liquefy Teflon. If it cannot be made into liquid, it cannot coat or stay on a surface.
Can wax be put over a sealant?
Yes, if you have allowed the sealant to air dry for a few hours to let the cross linking molecules form. But why do it? The only possible reason would be to fill the spider scratches and possibly increase the depth of the shine on a black or dark car.
So which is better, a wax or a sealant? If you are looking for durability, then a sealant must be your choice. The best waxes will last maybe 50-60 days, tops. A paint sealant will last up to six months under the best conditions.
From a shine point of view, a wax might provide a deeper shine on a dark car because of the greater oil content. This is not to say that a sealant will not shine.
Personally, I prefer a paint sealant. Why? It goes on faster, comes off easier, and lasts longer. There is more value for the motorist and it is easier for the detailer to use. In some instances, you can put a coat of good wax over the sealant if you want to fill in spider line scratches on the paint. So, my conclusion is that a paint sealant is a better product to use than a wax in most instances.

skype poor sound quality
There are several steps which may improve the quality of your Skype calls. Also if you experience audio problems with someone else on Skype we suggest you let them know about the suggestions below.
First, make sure you are using the most recent version of Skype as we are continually improving quality in each version.
Make sure all your computer's drivers are up-to-date (sound, video, motherboard controllers etc - please contact the manufacturers of your hardware for updated drivers).
Also make sure your firewall/router is not blocking Skype in any way. Try opening UDP traffic both ways to both the port found in Skype's "Connection" window in Tools > Options and also ports 80 & 443 - tick the option to use the ports and open both TCP and UDP traffic to all three - keep in mind UDP traffic's availability for Skype results in better sound quality than just data traversal over TCP. If you're not sure how to make such changes ask a tech-savvier friend or your system administrator for assistance.
Another way of improving quality is to shut down any file sharing applications or internet software that consumes a lot of bandwidth. If you are downloading files at the same as using Skype call quality will be greatly diminished.
If the above doesn't help to improve your sound quality try the following:
1. Close Skype. Locate the shared.xml file found in C:\\Documents and settings\Your Windows Username\Application data\Skype\shared.xml (please ensure you have hidden folders and files turned on - to do this right-click on Start and select Explore. Then select Tools > Folder Options and click the View tab. Under Files and Folders > Hidden files and folders ensure the Show hidden files and folders is checked).
2. Delete shared.xml
3. Restart Skype - the shared.xml file will be recreated.
Another possibility to improve conditions is to disable QoS (Quality of Service) packet scheduling. Go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Right click on the connection you are using (for example, "Local Area Connection") and select Properties. Untick the "QoS Packet Scheduler" option.

個人成敗之三要.環境.學校.父母
最近看了台灣作家盧蘇偉的傳記故事，非常感動，忍不住流淚。
據說聽他的演講全場沒有不熱淚盈眶的。
他小時候得了腦炎，父母都是礦工，沒有文化，以為他得的是普通的感冒，直到一個多月後他病危才被轉到了台大醫院救治。
醫生說他的腦子已經化膿壞死了，即使救過來也是個植物人。
他媽媽不懂植物人是什麼意思，問醫生植物人會不會喘氣，
醫生說當然有呼吸，媽媽說有呼吸就要救啊！
救過來之後，他果然是個植物人一樣，什麼都不會，無法自己大小便，無法自己吃飯……，
後來情況慢慢好轉，他漸漸地可以控制肢體，自己大小便，慢慢地生活可以自理了。
到了五年級，他父母堅持讓他上學，他回到學校，整整一年都在學寫他的名字，直到小學畢業，他還常常把名字中的“蘇”字中的“魚”和“禾”寫反了。
有一次一個老師對他說：“盧蘇偉你是豬嗎？
老師講了十多遍，就是豬也聽明白了，可你還是不懂！”
他一聽老師提到“豬”，立即高興地問到：“老師，豬在哪裡，豬在哪裡？”
老師氣得冒煙，罵道：“你怎麼會笨到別人罵你是豬都不懂，你真是個腦震蕩的豬！”
放學時，姐姐來領他回家，老師還沒有消氣，又把他姐姐罵了一頓，姐姐當場就被罵哭了。
回到家裡，跟爸爸說：“老師今天罵弟弟是豬。”
爸爸說：“如果弟弟是豬，那他就是全世界最聰明的豬。”
姐姐說：“比這還嚴重，老師說弟弟是腦震蕩的豬。”
爸爸回答：“別人腦震盪是越震越糊塗，你弟弟是越震越聰明。”
他爸爸掛在嘴上的話就是：“阿偉你很聰明，你越來越聰明，全世界你最聰明。”

新竹汽車美容手工洗車
新竹有一位汽車美容老闆，數年來，輔導超過200位中輟少年回學校唸書，或到社會工作。但還是有少年不服管教，找人來打他，把老闆打得頭破血流，縫了10多針，他還是不放棄，精神令人感動。 新竹工研院附近的洗車廠，引進工研院科技研發的汽車美容技術，以奈米細微顆粒在鍍金上噴出保護膜，可以避免鍍金刮傷，雨水、灰塵從此不易附著。TVBS 電視台【一步一腳印 發現新台灣】主持人在99年報導介紹 - 洗車廠以及那些迷途知反的年輕朋友

台灣版的二○一二
像在推骨牌。先是台北市，過去六年內，幼托機構從一千家，到現在僅剩四百多家。接著，未來三年，全台國中小學要減招一千多班，學校周邊商店服務業，面臨經營危機。四年後，台灣人口出現負成長。錄取率逼近百分之百的大學，十年內將倒閉三分之一。
之後，房市供過於求，內需市場乏人問津，大部份的公共建設，淪為人煙稀少的蚊子館。最後，每一個青壯年勞動人口，要扶養一．五個退休又無收入的老人。在街上和你摩肩擦踵的人群，有一半都超過五十七歲……。
大老級的人口學者、長庚大學醫務管理系教授陳寬政，一邊抽著菸，一邊憂慮地說，早在三十幾年前，他就預見台灣的生育率會往下降。「只是，沒想到速度那麼快，會變成全世界最低，真的很緊張。」已經當祖父的陳寬政，怎麼也料想不到，他做人口研究，會一百八十度大轉彎，從提倡節制生育的家庭計劃，轉為想盡對策刺激生育。
陳寬政計算，如果按照內政部人口政策白皮書的目標，台灣婦女生育率在二○一五年，要回到ＯＥＣＤ國家平均一．六的標準（台灣目前為一．○二，見一○五頁表一），這就表示，每年要多生十萬個嬰兒。在未來五年內，總共要新生一百五十萬個嬰兒，才養得起沉重的未來。

高盛惡搞
美國證管會十六日控告高盛銷售一檔涉及房貸市場的衍生性商品時，未揭露關鍵事實並涉嫌誤導投資人，造成投資人損失十億美元。消息傳開後，高盛發布措詞強硬的聲明，反駁這項指控「毫無事實根據」。儘管高盛堅持是清白的，不過，這項控訴使高盛聲譽嚴重受損，上周五股價重挫近十三％，市值在一天之內縮水一二○億美元。
此案被視為歐巴馬總統推動金融改革的第一槍，在國際上引起重大回響，英國首相布朗直斥高盛「道德破產」，德國總理梅克爾則指示相關單位評估對高盛採取法律行動，英、德兩國的金融監理機關都將針對高盛進行調查。
英、德兩國反應如此強烈，不難理解，因為購買高盛這檔衍生性商品損失最慘重的兩大客戶分別為德國工業銀行（ＩＢＫ）與荷蘭銀行，前者賠掉一．五億美元，瀕臨倒閉邊緣，後來由德國政府紓困；後者慘賠八．四億美元，被併入蘇格蘭皇家銀行（ＲＢＳ），最後也靠英國政府以納稅人的錢紓困。
