好樣的，Dell，果然在韓國發表產品都來這套

似乎在韓國辦產品發表會，美女模特兒就好像是標準配備，每個廠商必備，舉凡LG、三星、iRiver任何你舉得出名字的韓國廠商在當地辦的發表會照片裡面一定有美女模特兒。

雖然美女和產品不一定有著必備的關連性，不過我想這些都是為了搏版面用的吧，台灣廠商在台灣辦的發表會也不例外，公關公司請的模特兒也不差。但是為的都是報紙或媒體的版面，但是說來說去也覺得很可憐。因為電視媒體也沒幾秒鐘，這類產品發表會的新聞大多時間很短，絕對不會有政治新聞或什麼會出動SNG車的小道獨家來得重要。而報紙呢？為了擠得下所有的版面，大多不會有太多的空間可以塞照片。月刊雜誌呢？那就更對不起了，3C產品類的發表會對雜誌編輯來說根本是浪費時間，因為雜誌半個月會一個月才出一本，基本上發表會上模特兒再漂亮也不會有太多版面(因為內容還是比較重要，美女照片太多也沒用，當然，除非Model或代言人有別的話題性)

只不過DELL也開始玩這套讓人有點驚喜，從以前開始就是頭好壯壯牌的Dell最近也開始推多彩外殼的NB，而入境隨俗的找美女Model辦產品發表會也頗讓人意外。只是我每次看到美女主持產品發表會的時候都繪有這種感慨，美女愈美，對拍照的人來說產品就愈不重要了。Dell這幾款彩色外殼的NB，大概也只會讓人記得有彩色外殼，並且拿來和VAIO出過的彩色外殼來比較一番，然後就沒有了。真的沒有了。外表的皮相只能吸引短暫的關注，能不能熱賣，還是要靠真正的實力啊

這張產品照片對觀眾目光的吸引力和上面根本不能比吧

所以我比較看好Dell的XPS M1330這台(可以選配32GB的SSD哦)，而不是上面的彩色外殼NB

其實我還蠻喜歡Acer這款新NB的設計，但是它還是太重了。

The interactive systems we design .....

最近想要和同好一起翻譯原文書，剛好看到這段話讓我特別有感觸，主要原因還是在於看到學生許多的設計作業都只滿足於機能上的基本需求，卻無暇兼顧其他層次的設計元素.......就手癢先試翻了一下中文如下

The interactive systems we design have implicit as well as
explicit meanings.A design may communicate its purpose clearly,
so that it’s obvious what it is and what we should do with it. But
its qualities, its aesthetic qualities particularly, speak to people in a
different way. Consciously or not, people read meanings into
artifacts. A chapel speaks a different architectural language than a
supermarket, and everybody can read the difference. In a
drugstore we can usually distinguish a medicine bottle from a
perfume bottle even if we can’t read the label.Artists and designers
are trained to use the language of implicit meanings to add a rich
communicative element over and above direct functional
communication. If we only design the function of something, not
what it also communicates, we risk our design being
misinterpreted. Worse, we waste an opportunity to enhance
everyday life.

我們設計的互動系統除了不僅擁有自身明示的意義，也同時擁有暗示的意義。一個設計應該能夠清晰地傳達自身的目的性，並讓人們可以清楚了解它的用途並且正常地使用。但是這個互動系統的品質、尤其是美學上的品質，同時也會向人們訴說不同的意義。

我們經常下意識地閱讀人造物的各種意義。例如任何一人都能輕易地判斷一個小禮拜堂所使用的建築語彙，和街角的便利超市是完全不同的。或是在藥局裡，即使我們無法讀懂瓶罐上所貼的標籤文字，但我們仍可輕易分辨藥瓶與香水瓶。

而接受過專業訓練的藝術家與設計師，他們能在直接機能性的溝通上附加具有足夠暗示意義的溝通元素。若我們只是設計一個物件的機能，而且忽略它同時必須傳達的意義，那我們便是冒著自己的設計被人曲解的風險。而且更糟的是我們浪費了改善日常生活的契機。

YouTube - Enrique Iglesias - Do You Know (Ping Pong Song) Music Video

Do you know

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

If birds flying south is a sign of changes
At least you can predict this every year.
Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly
I can't get it to speak
Maybe finding all the things it took to save us
I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me
Look in your eyes to see something about me
I'm standing on the edge and I don know what else to give.

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

How can I love you How can I love you How can I love you How can I love you . . . .

If you just don't talk to me, babe.

I flow through my act
The question is she needed
And decide all the man I can ever be.
Looking at the last 3 years like I did,
I could never see us ending like this.
Seeing your face no more on my pillow
Is a scene that's never happened to me.
But after this episode I don't see, you could never tell the next thing life could be

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

Do you know,
Do you know,
Do you know,

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

最近開車或坐車時，安立奎的這首Do you know 和Brandi Carlile的The Story是我最常聽的兩首歌
沒什麼原因，就是喜歡聽而已

The Story -Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
Yeah you do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
Is hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through but you do
And I was made for you...

道道淚痕沖刷面頰
向你傾訴許多我的故事
告訴你我是什麼人
告訴你我曾到哪裡
告訴你我怎麼來到這裏
若無人讓我傾訴
故事也毫無意義
千真萬確
我是為你而生

曾翻越座座山峰
曾游過片片藍海
打破世俗偏見
不理世事紛擾
我只是為你
一切都只是為你
即使一貧如洗
你仍讓我感覺
自己猶如珍寶
你正是這樣
我是為你而生

朵朵笑容掛在嘴邊
句句話語難以傾訴
朋友們說我得天獨厚
但他們並不知道
我腦海中雜亂的思緒
他們並不知道
不知道我究竟是誰
不知道我經歷了哪些
他們不是你
我是為你而生
