CN4Iran
今天是个不平凡的日子，一向不太火热的中文Twitter今天因为伊朗人民揭竿而起而火爆了，并以#Cn4Iran作为对伊朗人民支援的标签。短短2小时内，就把#CN4Iran推到了推特的主页。请记住，大多数的推友都是在大陆，那里Twitter是被封锁的。
正是由于广大推友的努力，推特上出现了大量的支援伊朗人民的中文消息，以至于搜索Iran时英文与中文各占半边江山。大量的中文震撼了许多老外，也感动了许多伊朗人。中国时间过了午夜之后，大多数推友都下线睡觉，#CN4Iran退出了推特榜，但是不断增加的是伊朗人民对中国人民的感激之情。
许多人在经历了推特奥巴马竞选事件，推特伊朗大选事件与推特新疆事件后依然是对推特这种微博客很是陌生。也许是微博客这个名字产生了误解，认为微博客本质上也是博客，忽略了微博客的实时性与传媒性的特点。Twitter不仅仅是诉说你的吃喝拉撒或者某个名人的吃喝拉撒，而是你内心的声音。就在twitter #CH4Iran public timeline千变万化的一瞬间，我看到了我自己的Tweet。
而他们习惯的门户网站往往要在Twitter上被传遍了一个小时后才能出现新闻事件。特别是这种重大的国际事件，门户网站的速度就更慢了，因为这种东西不能乱说，要等新华网出通稿后才好统一口风。于是在德黑兰已经有四人被杀害的情况下，新华网竟然登出了伊朗有"零星冲突"。
伊朗人民的勇敢举动得到中国人民的支持的同时，中国政府却是一如既往的支持伊朗政府，所谓的“不干涉他国的内政”。伊朗政府也从中国政府那里偷来了秘诀，先是否认警察打死了人，然后又说中国的推友在干涉他们的内政，最后出现了动乱是受外国势力指使的（Twitter上的中国人都成了所谓的外国势力，我也第一次觉得这个说法是很可笑了）。
伊朗给中国人上了一堂课，也给中国政府上了一堂课。可以预见的是，未来不但要封锁网络，更要封锁手机。这次伊朗事件的传播就是因为有人不断的通过手机拍视频照片，让全球在第一时间知道了进展。到了后面伊朗的手机信号终于被切断了。但是伊朗人民在今夜已经控制了德黑兰城，明天将会继续斗争下去。目前军方还没有介入，但早晚的事。孙中山先生说：
欲求文明之幸福，不得不经文明之痛苦，这个痛苦就是革命。
Ice world of Groningen
Today is snowing hell in Groningen. I can’t ride my bike to school. And the school shuts all the class down and closes at 2 pm.
下雪了，格罗宁根
#Groningen snows today http://yfrog.com/3gbawj http://yfrog.com/35g2vj http://yfrog.com/1edu5xj 19 minutes ago from Seesmic
据可靠消息，荷兰中部还没有下雪。目前荷兰的平均气温已经在零下了，湖面都已经结冰了。
晚上弄完万恶的CPP回去时，竟然发现手套不知道落哪里了。没手套骑车要冻死，只好自认倒霉去HEMA去买了一双，价格是翻了10倍啊。
晚上做炒粉干吃，第一次做还是蛮有模有样的。我现在最想吃的就是平常在温州吃惯了的东西，目前最怀念酱油肉了，特别是那种有皮有排骨的，无论是直接吃还是下菜都是上品。
冷死了，格罗宁根
今天又是冷到一个新的境界了。早上出来一看，自行车都冻成冰了，出来一看好像下过一场雪一样。早上刚出门时没带手套，才出来没几秒就回去拿手套了。
公园与足球场的草坪上都结了霜，一天都没有化掉。晚上出去打印万恶的IBS英语作业，看到一片晚霞，这时才不过是下午四点15分。

万恶的IBS
IBS真是太suck了。今天寝室长让我帮他交下PDT3，我随便看了下。发现最后一页是他跟一帮台湾人聊天的记录。我不知道这个是随便乱写的还是真的是这么想的（我觉得是真的这么想的）。老外把大陆人跟台湾人做了对比，把我们完全鄙视了。
首先，什么国际上普遍承认台湾是中国的一部分。Bullshit，完全是我们自己在一厢情愿。台湾人不承认，老外也说two countries（China and Taiwan）了。满篇的taiwanese and Chinese，什么taiwanese，根本就不懂台湾的全称是中国民国台湾，到头来还是Chinese。
然后拍了台湾人马屁，说台湾人英语比大陆人好，比大陆人开放。理由是台湾人跟老外“和谐”相处，嫌陷入IBS泥潭的本人没时间跟老外ramble了：还有说大陆人只吃自己家的菜，从来不做老外的菜，好像觉得他们的菜很不错一样，完全忘了在荷兰遍地都是的中餐馆和这帮台湾人不会做中国菜的事实（他们哪是在做菜，根本就是在做实验，一点中国菜的特点都没有，三分之一的时间是做意大利面） 。
唯一我能接受的是大陆人不敢谈政治，不能当众批评政府。虽然现在在Twitter的带领下，大家都能翻墙出来调侃了。但大部分的人还是自我和谐着。
想我们大陆人出国的，都是战战兢兢读书，老老实实做人，到头来还是被人鄙视了。虽然我很想找这帮台湾人骂一顿，但万恶的IBS没有给我这个机会，因为明天又是CPP，周末还要什么180分析，更别说荷兰语有3周没去上要恶补了。我们在IBS混的大陆人实在是太命苦了。

Google wave的邀请名额
等了2个多礼拜，Google又送来新的名额了，旧的名额还没完全用掉。不过好像现在大家对Googlw wave名额不这么感冒了。想尝鲜的人都基本上有了（包括我了），不感兴趣的人邀请了也是浪费。到目前为止还有18个名额。
这阵子不怎么写博客了，一个原因是IBS忒忙了，另个原因是Twitter用习惯了，懒的写这么多字的博客了。今天还看到一篇英文的文章说，现在的文化是偏向简洁的，会花几个小时看一本小说的人越来越少了。Twitter就是一种意简言骇的发展方向。
今天开始可能要告别用推特主页了，像每天登陆QQ一样用一个桌面应用软件比较实时。

U.S. Government Investigation Doesn’t Stop Online Retailers From ‘Scamming’ Customers ~ The Blade by Ron Schenone, MVP
HOMEWORK, PF3, ENG1
U.S. Government Investigation Doesn’t Stop Online Retailers From ‘Scamming’ Customers ~ The Blade by Ron Schenone, MVP: "Even after an investigation by the U.S. government, most online retailers who participate in a marketing gimmick that appears to deceive online consumers continue in this practice unabated. What is being called a ’scam,’ ‘robbery,’ and ‘theft’ by consumers and U.S. senators involves a marketing scheme that dupes the consumer into signing up unknowingly to monthly charges. The online retailers involved state it is the consumers’ fault, not theirs.
Here is how the alleged scam operates. Once a consumer completes a transaction, what appears as a $10 refund coupon pops up on the screen. If a consumer accepts the terms of the coupon, they are automatically billed a monthly charge. Most consumers do not realize that the retailer provides your credit card information to the companies running these ads.
At CNET, a recent article states:
Now, the bad news: the marketers–Affinion, Vertrue, and Webloyalty–are still in business and judging from the responses of many of the retailers involved, such as Priceline, Classmates.com, FTD, Shutterfly, and Orbitz, it will be business as usual. They see nothing wrong with the marketing practices that millions of angry online shoppers and members of the U.S. Senate have called a “scam,” “robbery” and “theft.”
The inference is clear: The people complaining about this are the ones who screwed up. The terms of the deal were all in the ad so that means anyone who was charged the monthly fee either wanted it at the time or was negligent.
One would think that this would be a simple matter to fix. The online retailer can insert a big bold disclosure stating this is a membership agreement and you will be charged a monthly fee. But this doesn’t appear to be what the online retailers wish to do. They see a money making machine and will continue to scam the consumer.
So what do you think? Scam, or the fault of consumers for not reading the fine print?
Should these sites be boycotted if they continue to use these ads?
Comments welcome."

写在荷兰语考试前
11点就考荷兰语了，实在是没有什么心情。这周可是宅的十分厉害，足不出户。这周又没有一些美剧看。于是就很无聊的看些电影。从《第九区》的推荐，下了部《科洛弗档案》看，是上半年就有了的，当时没注意。镜头的确晃得厉害。但是对于我这种打CS的，没有3D眩晕症的人来说就无所谓了。跟《第九区》一样结局有些悬疑，留着给下一部了。
