แต่ถ้าจะให้จำคำว่า Fleeting ให้ดี ให้ลองนึกถึงคลื่นที่ซัดฝั่ง คลื่นนั้นจะเคลื่อนเข้ามาซัดฝั่งเพียงชั่วเวลานิดเดียว แล้วก็จะถอยลงทะเลไป นั่นแหละที่เรียกว่า Fleeting<br />

เราคงรู้จักคำว่า Springboard กันใช่มั้ยครับ เป็นที่ๆใช้กระโดดในสระว่ายน้ำกัน<br />
<br />
แต่คำว่า Springboard ในภาษาอังกฤษ ยังมีอีกว่า "สิ่งที่ช่วยให้เราเริ่มต้นได้" ตัวอย่างการใช้งานเช่น<br />

"We'll use an example of Sydney Opera House as the springboard for our discussion." </div>

ซึ่งมีความหมายว่า<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"เราจะใช้ Sydney Opera House เพื่อเป็นจุดเร่ิมต้นในการพูดคุยกัน"</div>

ส่วนกลิ่น รส และสัมผัส ยังเป็นสิ่งที่ยากอยู่ แต่เร็วๆนี้ Google ได้มีโครงการใหม่ที่จะนำ 'กลิ่น' เข้าสู่โลกคอมพิวเตอร์ และจะช่วยให้คน Search หา 'กลิ่น' ที่เราอยากรู้ว่าเป็นอย่างไรได้ เช่น กลิ่นของดอกกุหลาย ถ้าใครไม่เคยดมก็คงไม่รู้ว่าเป็นอย่างไร</div>

It shows how Google glasses works. It's a good attempts, but not complete. Well, Jeff Jarvin said in his book "What would google do?" (see the link below) that everything for Google is a beta. Google never waits for a complete product. It releases a usable product, and continue to improve it. Perhaps, in future, we might see a more complete Google Glasses.<br />

But you can wear google glasses. Perhaps, some museum might even think that it's just another glasses.<br />

Well, mostly listening, since I usually "read" audiobook. I have also reviewed and done book summary at this blog.<br />
<br />
I decided that it's time to escalate my passion and effort for my reading. So I decided to run a new website "www.WhatILearnFromReading.com." Currently, I am touching up the website. I am planning to launch the website on 12/12/12 (nice date, isn't it?) Here is a sample page:<br />

<br />
<br />
I will document what I learn from reading there.

I am looking for one, as I will use my cartoonized image for my new website. So, I went and looked online. I found "<a href="http://cartoonize.net/">cartoonize.net</a>". This picture lets you upload your image and apply cartoon effect to your picture. I tried it, and it's pretty cool. Here is the result:<div>

<div>
The nice things about this website are</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>It's free!</li>
<li>You don't need to create any account. Just upload and choose your image</li>
<li>You can download the image after it is cartoonized. There is a little watermark "cartoonized.net" on the bottom right corner. But you can crop it out. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is a desktop version for $19.95, where you can convert your images in batch, and you can do it offline. To me, I think it's expensive because I'm a casual user. For now, online conversion is all I need.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 125px;">
As the name suggested, this book is about how to become an entrepreneur. But, more importantly, it is about how to become one intelligently. It starts off with why a lot of entrepreneurs fail. Then it presents 10 rules that will help you to become a successful entrepreneur. If you are planning on becoming an entrepreneur, you should really read this book. If you are not, you might as well read this book because it is quite intesting. It’s fun to read and along the way, who knows, you might change your mind and want to become an entrepreneur.<br />

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The author, Bill Murphy Jr., interviewed three Harvard Business School graduates --Christopher Michel, Mark Cenedella, and Marla Malcolm Beck--who had then successfully founded start-up companies. He then drew 10 rules to become a successful entrepreneur. It is what you should keep in mind if you’d like to become an entrepreneur.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The writing style is quite interesting. Murphy wrote the stories of those three HBS graduates in odd chapter, and explained the 10 rules in even chapters. This writing style makes the content a lot more juicy. Each chapter also has a quote from famous people, which I found quite interesting. Overall, I learned a lot from this book while enjoying the interesting stories of Michel, Cenedella, and Beck. I really like this book and I wouldn’t hesistate to recommend this book.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The audiobook version of this book is narrated by Fred Berman and L. J. Ganser. I like his narration. His voice is strong and tonal. It keeps me engaged throughout all the listening. At the end of the audiobook, there is a special roundtable discussion featuring Bill Murphy Jr., hristopher Michel, Mark Cenedella, and Marla Malcolm Beck. It’s interesting to know that these people really exist, and to hear things from their own words.<br />

<i>About the summary: It takes time to finish up a book. And, when you do, sometimes, you want to review what you learn from the book. If you do not make notes as you read, you might have to go through the book once again. This can be time-consuming when you are dealing with a book. But you can still flip through the book and locate what you are looking for.<br /><br />However, when the material is an audiobook, it is extremely hard to locate a specific part of content. Most likely you will have to listen to the entire audiobook once again.<br /><br />This book summary will help solve the pain of having to go through the book all over again.<br /><br />I am leaving out the details of the books. Most books have interesting examples and case studies, not included here. Reading the original book would be much more entertaining and enlightening. If you like the summary, you may want to get the original from the source below.</i></div>

Kevin Mitnick was a notorious hacker. He was very good at what he did. He was able to get into a lot of secured placed without getting caught for several years. But then, in the end, like most hackers, he got caught, served his term, and came out clean. Now, he is one of the most skillful security professional.<br />
<br />
This book is based on his story. It starts since he was young. So, I kindda understand why he becomes a hackers. In a way, he’s like Steve Jobs. Mitnick and Jobs are geniuses. They are not happy with what traditional education can give them. So, they need to find a way out to express themselves. Jobs went on founding Apple, while Kevin turned out to be a hacker.<br />
<br />
This book is not only fun, but also informative. Before reading this book, I know quite a bit about security. But still, I learned a lot more from this book. But don’t be scared by the term “security”. The content of this book is not very technical. This book is meant for general public. For example, to get confidential information, you just need to use “social engineering”. You just have to pretend to be one of employees who are allowed to have the information. How? Well, you just need to know how the inside people talk to each other. Then, you search for the right telephone numbers. You call them. You pretend to be one of them. And, people will give you the information you want. Most people are just too trusting. The question is do you have the guts to pull this off. Well, Mitnick does.<br />
<div>
<a name='more'></a>Like most books, I read this book in audiobook version. It is narrated by Ray Porter. Like most professional narrator. Porter is very skillful. His voice and rhythm keep me engaged throughout the book. Overall, I enjoy it a lot. </div>

Human is the weakest link in any security system. You can decide security system to be super advanced. But if your people are not trained properly, your security system would be very weak. </div>

About the summary: It takes time to finish up a book. And, when you do, sometimes, you want to review what you learn from the book. If you do not make notes as you read, you might have to go through the book once again. This can be time-consuming when you are dealing with a book. But you can still flip through the book and locate what you are looking for.<br />
<br />
However, when the material is an audiobook, it is extremely hard to locate a specific part of content. Most likely you will have to listen to the entire audiobook once again.<br />
<br />
This book summary will help solve the pain of having to go through the book all over again.<br />
<br />
I am leaving out the details of the books. Most books have interesting examples and case studies, not included here. Reading the original book would be much more entertaining and enlightening. If you like the summary, you may want to get the original from the source below.</i></div>

<b><br />
</b></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 125px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> The reasons I like biography is that it is inspring. I’d like to know more about someone I admire, and Steve Jobs was one of them. I started out knowing next to nothing about Steve Jobs (although I own an iPod nano and a Mac book pro). I was kind of curious about the people behind it. From this book, I learn a lot about Steve Jobs, his invention, and his company. To most people, Steve was a Genious. But who would have known that he had a very conflicting personality. He was a firm believer in Hindu and Zen. Yet, he was obnoxious and very hard to deal with. He’d like to be at the intersection of technology and humanity. Yet, he was no humanitarian. He did everything in his own way regardless of whether his action will hurt others. I’m glad that I get to know that side of him.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div class="p1"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>This book is a bit long. It took me almost two months to read it. Despite excurciating details, I enjoy reading this book. The book contains the story since before his birth, his childhood, his success, his failure, his return, and his departure. It’s a long enjoyable book. And, it’s worth reading. The only problem that I have is that it’s a bit too long.<br />

Dylan Baker is the narrator of the audiobook version. His voice is quite strong and nice. He kept me engaged in the book for the whole time.<br />

About the summary: It takes time to finish up a book. And, when you do, sometimes, you want to review what you learn from the book. If you do not make notes as you read, you might have to go through the book once again. This can be time-consuming when you are dealing with a book. But you can still flip through the book and locate what you are looking for.<br />
<br />
However, when the material is an audiobook, it is extremely hard to locate a specific part of content. Most likely you will have to listen to the entire audiobook once again.<br />
<br />
This book summary will help solve the pain of having to go through the book all over again.<br />
<br />
I am leaving out the details of the books. Most books have interesting examples and case studies, not included here. Reading the original book would be much more entertaining and enlightening.

It is reproduced over and over again in various form. I first saw it in the broadway musical produced by Andrew Loyd Webber. Then I saw it again, when hollywood made it in the movie form. And, this is my third time. This time is in book, audiobook. </div></div><div class="p1"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="s1"><br />
</span></div></div><div class="p1"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">As in other novel, the book is more elaborated. It contains a lot of details which is left out by musicals or movies. Also some parts, some important parts, are quite different from the musical and movie production. It is interesting. But I find it quite difficult to follow (esp. for non-native speaker), because it contains so many Theatrical terminology. But it was alright. On the average, I enjoyed it. </div></div><div class="p1"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="s1"><br />

</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div class="p1"><span class="s1">Do you know the term “Relationship ambivalence”? It is a state where you feel that your relationship is too good to leave, and, at the same time, you also feel that your relationship is too bad to stay. You feel like screwed up if you make either of the choices. So you don’t decide. You leave it to fate. You wait for the sign to tell you what to do. It may take months, years, or even decades for that sign to come. When the sign came, you’d ask yourself, why did’t I see this coming?, why have I waited for so long?,...</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1">On the other hand, if might find the sign which convince you that your relation ship is too good to leave. And again, when the sign comes, you'd ask yourself, why have I had to live with uneasy feeling, when the only problems in my relationship are so little and trivial and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with my relationship.</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"></span></div><a name='more'></a>One of the reasons is that we tend to use balance scale to weigh pros and cons and then make decision. The problem is that pros and cons are constantly moving and very subjective. You’d feel like you need forever to make the decision. This book, on the other hand, takes the doctor approach. It’s like when you go to see a doctor. The doctor asks you diagnosis questions, and tell you what’s wrong with you (e.g., fever, migraine). This book contains 34 diagnosis questions, that will help you understand whether your relationship is too good to leave or too bad to stay. At the end of the book, the authors provides you with further recommended reading for either of your choice. So you might not just find a way of your relationship ambivalence, but you might also know what to do after you make such the decision.<br />
<div class="p1"><span class="s1"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1">I found this book, when my relationship is kind of iffy. I'm not sure if I found my answer by reading this book. But my relationship got better before I finish the reading. It could be because of the book. But it could also be because the relationship got better by itself. Anyway, I continued reading to the end of the book. </span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><br />
</span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1">Overall, I found this book useful and interesting. It contains a lot of case studies, which make the book even more interesting. But it wasn’t that gripping. It’s not the book that I can’t put it down and have to keep on reading. </span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><br />
</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="s1">The Audiobook version of this book is narrated by Adriane McNeely. Her narration is nice, but again not to the degree that keep me so engaged that I can’t put it down. So on the average, this book is ok. It is a fine book and worth listening. </span></div><div class="p2"><span class="s1"><br />
</span></div><div class="p2"><span class="s1">One last nice thing about this book is that all chapters are named after song titles. For example, "All the things you are" (Chapter10) is a song from the musical "Very Warm for May". "If Ever I Should Leave You" (Chapter13) is a song from the musical "Camelot". I find this little things pretty nice and interesting. </span></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><b><b><br />
<b>Takeaways</b></b><br />
</b><br />
<ol><li>Relationship ambivalence makes you feel both too good to leave and too bad to stay at the same time. Avoid it. It’s just a waste of time and spiritual energy.</li>
<li>Balance scale approach is not good for every scenario in life, and definitely not for resolving relationship ambivalence. Doctor approach which asks diagnostic questions seem to work better.</li>

<blockquote><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"> <br />
<blockquote><span class="s1">“What had happened to the sweet woman he’d married? Now, three years later, Steve felt that Lynn had turned into someone who did nothing but complain. Then one Friday coming home from work Steve heard a song on the radio—“When a Man Loves a Woman.” Something about it got through to him, something about his having a responsibility to make sure she knew he loved her. They’d gotten so polarized, he saw, that he’d overlooked the possibility that she was unloving because he was unloving.”</span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="s1">“You can often fix what was broken, but you can rarely fix what’s never work at the first place.”</span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="s1">“The mere talent for power doesn’t make you the kind of power person that destroys relationships. But when the talent controls you and makes you its servant, then you and everyone around you are in big trouble.”</span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="s1">“the real problem in relationships isn’t how untalented we are at bridging our differences; it’s how incredibly talented we are at manufacturing differences out of nothing if necessary, just to create a sense of differentiation, uniqueness, specialness. Besides, communication is the one thing in the universe specifically designed to bridge the gap between our differences. If we’re having trouble with that bridge, partly it’s because we’re so interested in magnifying those differences. But communication is the solution, not the problem.”</span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="s1">“communication is a process of getting naked. Not physically, but interpersonally. The closer you are to someone, the closer communication brings you to this interpersonal nakedness. And love is the place where it’s safe to be naked. ”</span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="s1">“The bottom line is the end of the line....You didn’t invent your bottom line, you discovered it.”</span></blockquote><blockquote><span class="s1">“Perhaps what seems like a “difference” problem is really a communication problem.”</span></blockquote><blockquote>“Somehow, somewhere, when you look deep in your partner’s eyes you’ve got to be able to see yourself.”</blockquote><div class="p2" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="s1"></span></div><blockquote>“Respect is the soil out of which self-esteem grows.

Even if you get the book and cancel the subscription right away (so that you don't have to pay), you can keep the book. And, don't worry if you lost the audiobook file. Just log into audible.com.

About the summary: It takes time to finish up a book. And, when you do, sometimes, you want to review what you learn from the book. If you do not make notes as you read, you might have to go through the book once again. This can be time-consuming when you are dealing with a book. But you can still flip through the book and locate what you are looking for.<br />
<br />
However, when the material is an audiobook, it is extremely hard to locate a specific part of content. Most likely you will have to listen to the entire audiobook once again.<br />
<br />
This book summary will help solve the pain of having to go through the book all over again.<br />
<br />
I am leaving out the details of the books. Most books have interesting examples and case studies, not included here. Reading the original book would be much more entertaining and enlightening. If you like the summary, you may want to get the original from the source below.<a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3877311-3215981">http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3877311-3215981</a></i></div></div></div></div></div>Teerawat Issariyakulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05146281366158685597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705973982656162350.post-7506188182468314142011-09-15T07:58:00.001-06:002011-09-15T09:00:46.924-06:00<b>Google Map/Google Earth</b><br />

The day <a href="http://www.google.com/earth/index.html">Google Earth</a> came out, the whole world was stunned. It's the first time we see the useful (and dangerous) civilian application. Starting from seeing the world, we can zoom in and see countries, districts, villages, and houses (including yours).<br />

<b>What about Earth View in Google Map</b><br />
I did not know that this option exists. But I thought Google must have something similar. And there is. It's called "<a href="http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/earthview.html">Earth View</a>". But I was not impressed by Earth View. Nokia map 3D is far better.

<b>ตัวตนของเราออนไลน์</b><br />
<br />
จุดเด่นของ Facebook คือการใช้ตัวตนจริงๆของเรา อันนี้ก็ต่างจาก Social Network Services อื่นๆก่อนหน้านี้ซึ่งคนมักจะสร้างนามแฝงขึ้นมาใช้แทนตัวเอง อันนี้ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราไม่สามารถใช้นามแฝงในการสร้าง Facebook Account แต่เนื่องจาก Facebook ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อพัฒนาการสื่อสารระหว่างคนที่เรารู้จัก การใช้นามแฝงจะทำให้เราได้ประโยขน์จาก Facebook น้อยมาก<br />
<br />
ตัวอย่างง่ายๆคือ ในสังคม Facebook เรามักจะยอมรับคนๆนึงเป็นเพื่อน ถ้าเรารู้จักเขาอยู่แล้ว หรือเขาเป็นเพื่อนของเพเพื่อนเรา (ซึ่งเราสามารถดูได้จากรายชื่อเพื่อน ในหน้า profile ของเพื่อนเรา) ถ้ามีคนที่ใช้นามแฝงเข้าไป เพื่อนๆอาจจะไม่รู้จักเขา และไม่รับเขาเป็นเพื่อนใน Facebook ก็ได้</div></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<div style="font-weight: bold;">Personal Web Portal </div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</div>Portal หมายถึงประตู ส่วน Web Portal ก็หมายถึงประตูที่จะนำไปสู่โลกของอินเทอร์เน้ต Web Portal มักถูกใช้โดยผู้ให้บริการอินเทอร์เน็ต เพื่อแสดงข้อมูลต่างๆ ที่สอดคล้องกับความสนใจของผู้ใช้งาน เช่นการสมัครบริการ Terms of Service ค่าบริการ<br />
<br />
Personal Web Portal คือ Web Portal ที่สอดคล้องกับความต้องการของผู้ใช้คนหนึ่ง อันนีี้ต้องระบุให้ชัดนิดนึง เพราะ Content ที่สอดคล้องกับความต้องการของผู้ใช้ จะแตกต่างกับ Content ที่ผู้จัดทำ Web Portal คิดว่า น่าจะสอดคล้องกับความต้องการของผู้ใช้<br />
<br />
Personal Web Portal จะหมายถึงตัวแรก มันคือ Personal Web Page ตัวอย่างง่ายๆ คือเป็น Web Page ที่ประกอบขึ้นจาก Website ฉบับย่อ เช่น เมลล์ ราคาหุ้น หรืออื่นๆ ที่เราเข้าไปดูบ่อยๆ ส่วน Content ตัวหลังมักจะหมายถึง Target Advertising ซึ่งเป็นการส่งโฆษณาที่ได้จากการเก็บข้อมูลของลูกค้าคนนั้นๆ<br />
<br />
ในความคิดของผมแล้ว ผมจะชอบทั้ง Personal Web Portal และ Target Advertising ตัว Personal Web Portal ช่วยให้ผมสามารถดู Content ที่ผมสนใจจากหลายๆ Website ในหน้าจอเพียงหน้าเดียว โดยที่ไม่ต้องเข้าไปที่ Web Site ทีละ Website เพื่อเรียกดู Content นั้นๆ (สะดวกดีใช่มั้ยล่ะ?)<br />
<br />
ผมเคยได้ไปฟัง Presentation จากบริษัท Blyk เขากล่าวว่า “Advertisement isn’t spam, as long as it is relevant. It is information” ในส่วนตัวผมเอง ผมชอบที่จะได้รับคูปองซื้อ 1 แถม 1 จาก Starbuck แต่ในทางปฏิบัติแล้วผมมักจะได้้ อีเมลล์ ที่โฆษณายาแปลกๆ ที่ผมไม่ได้สนใจเสมอๆ (มันน่ารำคาญมั้ยล่ะ?)<br />
<br />
ในอดีตการสร้าง Web Page เป็นเรื่องยาก คนที่จะเขียนต้องมีความรู้ความชำนาญค่อนข้างดี คนทั่วไปจึงไม่ได้สนใจที่จะเขียน Personal Web Portal ขึ้นมาเอง<br />
<br />
Facebook ได้สร้าง Personal Web Portal สำหรับสมาชิกทุกคน Web Page ดังกล่าวของแต่ละคนจะแตกต่างกันไป และจะสอดคล้องกับความสนใจของแต่ละคน Facebook เรียกหน้า Web Page ดังกล่าวว่า Wall (หรือกระดานข่าว) <br />
<br />
แต่ Wall ของ Facebook ก็ยังไม่ได้ เป็น Personal Web Portal อย่างสมบูรณ์ เราไม่สามารถนำ Web Page ต่างๆ มาใส่ไว้ใน Wall ของเราใน Facebook ได้ แต่จะไปโทษ Facebook ก็ไม่ถูก เราต้องเข้าใจก่อนว่า Facebook ไม่ได้ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อเป็น Personal Web Portal แต่ Facebook ถูกสร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อเป็นเครื่องมือที่ช่วยให้เราสื่อสารกับเพื่อนๆของเราได้ง่ายขึ้น Personal Web Portal เป็นเพียงผลพลอยได้จาก Facebook เท่านั้น</div><div class="p2" style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b></b></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

You can <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3877311-3215981">get it</a> now for FREE. Audible offers you a free trial for 14 days. Even if you get the book and cancel the subscription right away (so that you don't have to pay), you can keep the book. And, don't worry if you lost the audiobook file. Just log into audible.com. You can keep downloading the over and over again.</div></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

And, when you do, sometimes, you want to review what you learn from the book. If you do not make notes as you read, you might have to go through the book once again. This can be time-consuming when you are dealing with a book. But you can still flip through the book and locate what you are looking for<br />
<br />
However, when the material is an audiobook, it is extremely hard to locate a specific part of content. Most likely you will have to listen to the entire audiobook once again.<br />
<br />
This book summary will help solve the pain of having to go through the book all over again.<br />
<br />
I am leaving out the details of the books. Most books have interesting examples and case studies, not included here. Reading the original book would be much more entertaining and enlightening. If you like the summary, you may want to get the original from the source below.</i></div></div></div></div>Teerawat Issariyakulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05146281366158685597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705973982656162350.post-414182456018089182011-06-05T04:24:00.000-06:002011-06-05T04:24:36.434-06:00Windows 8!, What a Nice UI!I just have a quick view at Windows 8.

</div><div><b>Bad News:</b></div><div>If you use Facebook app and you gave that apps an access to your profile, you might want to read this. Usually, such the apps need to access your profile from times to times (e.g., post on the wall). The apps do not use your password to access your profile. They use Facebook-issued tokens to access your profile. The bad news is these token are leaked. Now, hackers can do whatever your apps can do. </div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Good News:</b> </div><div>The fix is simple just change your Facebook's password. Then, Facebook will reissue the tokens to all your apps. The old tokens that hackers might get a hold of would expire. </div><div><br />

Check out [ <a href="http://ss64.com/osx/">here</a> ].<br />

<b>Command Line Interface</b><br />
Terminal is a useful utility, which allows advanced users to work with command line interface (CLI). A lot of programmers prefer this mode due to its flexibility to customize things.<br />
<br />
Even for semi-advanced users, Terminal looks scary. One of the problems is that you don't know the command name and their syntax. Documentation is long and some time hard to read. But for sure, it require a lot of effort to comb through the documentation to get what you do using CLI. So a lot of users just give up using CLI.<br />
<br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b>SS64</b><br />
Recently, I find a useful site, which lists the most frequently used commands for various platforms, e.g., OSX, Oracle, Windows. The list is not too long and is accompanied with short description. In my opinion, it is a very good reference site. Check out [ <a href="http://ss64.com/">here</a> ].<br />
<br />
<b>My Personal Use: Copy file content to clipboard. </b><br />
Let me give you an example use. Do you know that OSX has a command "<i>pbcopy</i>"? To me, I would like to copy the content in a text file to the clipboard. Here is what I do:<br />
<br />
<ol><li>Type "<i>less myfile.txt | pbcopy</i>" at the command prompt.</li>
<li>Press Command + V on the application that I would like to paste the content (Note: in Windows, press Ctrl + V).</li>
