Brazil: Copy Cats? What Copy Cats?
I’ll say this about Brazilian startups—they’re certainly not dominated by Web copycats. Perhaps it’s because there aren’t a huge number of Brazilians who’ve made it big in the Valley transmuting the local way of doing things back home or because there’s not a lot of US venture capital flooding into the country. Perhaps it’s the country’s noted isolationist streak, or perhaps it was just the startups I lucked into meeting.
But whatever the reason I saw fewer “We’re-the-fill-in-the-blank-Web-company-of-Brazil” ventures than I have in any other market to which I’ve traveled in the last few years. Many Brazilians I spoke with said it’s just part of their nature, that they’re not competitive (tell that to fans of opposing soccer teams), and that they’d rather chase “green field” – or, as they say, “blue ocean” – opportunities. See, they don’t even use the same color to describe opportunities.
No matter the reason, after nearly 30 weeks of emerging market travel it was refreshing to go to a country and see things that are unequivocally new, even if risky and a bit, well, wacky. To make the point, here are three of my favorites: Companies that make bugs, houses and diamonds.
The World’s Ickiest Factory: Bug is one of most aptly-named companies in the world. This company makes bugs. No really, I saw the factory: Millions of eggs, and jars and jars of larvae and cocoons. There’s a “cook” on staff who makes up the peanut-buttery solution these bugs feed on and each room is kept at an optimal temperature for that stage of bug development. Like something out of a sci-fi movie, the company is growing natural predators for common agricultural pests, so that farmers can move away from pesticides in accordance with a growing wave of worldwide safety regulations and the organic food movement. It’s combating a caterpillar with a wasp—like nature intended– but rather than selling live wasps, it sells wasp-infected caterpillar eggs and cocoons. Think of them like thousands of little Trojan horses being dropped into Brazil’s sugar cane, tomato, and soybean fields.
Brazil is the second largest agricultural country in terms of exports and the largest pesticide user in the world, recently overtaking the United States. The company is only doing a few million in revenues but is hugely profitable. That’s the good thing about growing something found in nature—it’s pretty cheap once you figure out the optimal way to do it.
But even without all that, I would love this story because Heraldo Negri, one of the co-founders, is just obsessed with bugs. Since he was 19-years-old he’s photographed pictures of bugs in every stage of life. He has albums and albums of them and even started a niche publishing house to produce his bug books for the masses. He doesn’t seem to think this is weird at all. When he handed me a stack of his books on bugs he exclaimed, “Your husband will love these!” (Note: My husband has a horrible fear of spiders.) That’s Negri above, standing on the left. What you can’t see from the picture is that he’s holding two fistfuls of larvae. Here’s a close-up….
Negri—a former college professor who lives several hours outside of Sao Paulo— always wanted to be an entrepreneur but says he never quite had the guts to take the plunge. But the sheer obsession with the idea and technology drove him to take a sabbatical (which he intends to be permanent) from his university teaching job to run this company full-time.
Bug is funded by Fundo Criatec, a government-sponsored venture fund. It’s one of its hottest companies and Francisco Jardim (standing to the right in the main photo), who’s in charge of the fund’s deals throughout the state of Sao Paulo, drives out to Piracicaba meet with them several times a month.
Bug was a risky investment deal in a country that doesn’t take a ton of venture risk. The technology was there, but several VCs walked from negotiations because the company didn’t yet have local certification to sell to farmers. Now, it is one of the only ones that does, and its biggest problem is meeting demand, so it’s investing in better, larger bug-growing facilities. (Right now they’re largely using a series of houses and an old supermarket.) Certification is a process that takes several years, and tellingly, some big multinationals and other upstarts recently applied for certification, Jardim says.
How to Build a House in One Day: It doesn’t take much travel to see that millions of people in the emerging world need better housing—hell, you could just watch “City of God,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” or earthquake footage from Haiti. Or just visit 16th and Mission in San Francisco. Much of the emerging world is living in makeshift structures that are missing walls, doors or decent ceilings. That’s what makes BS Construtora so potentially exciting not only for Brazil but the entire emerging world.
BS Construtora was started 14 years ago and for many years was just a small business known in agriculture sectors for its ability to build structures 
such as silos faster than the competition. 2006 was a bad year for agriculture in Brazil, and the company had to look around for other customers. The founder Sidnei Borges dos Santos, a former brick layer, was looking at a shoebox when he had the idea for how to build a prefab house quicker than the competition. Rather than pre-make parts and assemble them wall-by-wall and beam-by-bean, what if he made a mold that could lay the concrete for the whole room in one big piece, add the shutters, paint it and throw it on a truck? The molds leave room for plumbing and lighting and plop the houses on the ground just like the inspiration–an upside-down shoebox.
Today the company can build a house in 24 hours. It’s currently built a whole city complete with 1,600 houses, electricity, phone lines, Internet access, schools, a hospital, a police station, a fire station and a shopping mall in the Amazon for a crew building a hydroelectric dam. The photo of the village I saw looked eerily like where “The Others” live in Lost, but a house built on the cheap in 24 hours isn’t for show—it’s for necessity and speed. And there’s a ton of need in the world for this product. The company is meeting with governments of South Africa, Ghana, other parts of Latin America and Asia to talk about expansion.
The problem is thin margins. So far BS Construtora has been financing itself mostly through working capital while trying to dramatically increase capacity. It can build 20,000 houses in a year and CEO Marcelo Miranda wants that up to 30,000. In another year, the company will start looking at raising some funding to help grow faster, he says. For now, he wants to give the valuation some time to build, given all the growth the company is seeing. The houses go for between $22,000 and $140,000, for nicer-non-Lost-like models. The company is developing some new two-story models. BS Construtora gets a few big corporate or government funded projects like the village described above—a $120 million-plus project—but the bulk are developed and sold on the real estate market. The former is likely lower margin but less volatile, and the latter is the opposite. Between the two, though, the company generated an impressive $100 million in revenues last year – made all the more impressive by the fact that this is a startup an emerging market.
In a decline-of-America-side-note, Miranda is a recent Stanford MBA grad who got 13 other job offers upon graduation, including some impressive ones to head up multi-national divisions in the Brazil. (He asked me not to disclose specifics.) He gutsily chose to take this rather uncertain post at BS Construtora last year—at nearly half the pay he was offered elsewhere– despite the fact it was mostly an idea with little execution.
Why’d Miranda go back to Brazil? Part of it was a desire to build something in his homeland. Part of it was when he interviewed at companies in the US they intimated that there was pressure to hire only Americans. “It was the wrong time to be there,” he says. “The feelings were not good for a foreigner like me.” Looks like that brain drain isn’t limited to India and China.
Drilling Your Teeth the P-Diddy Way: Another Fundo Criatec investment is CVD. (I know, it’s not nearly as well named as Bug.) This company makes man-made, multi-crystal diamonds, with technology spun-off from the Brazilian equivalent of NASA, INPE. Aeronautics was big during the dictator days and there was a need for super-hard materials that were durable and wouldn’t corrode, so it started experimenting with growing diamonds and using them in space. Much like the early days of NASA gave American things like the EKG and Tang, Vladimir Airoldi (left) is working to make this diamond technology applicable to everyday life.
The key to CVD’s edge isn’t so much the diamond itself, it’s the way it preps the diamond to be adhered to another surface. The first product is tips of dentist drills. Diamond powder is already used on drills, but it doesn’t stay on well. Because CVD’s adhesives are so much stronger it can drill with an ultra-sonic, not rotational motion, which means no pain, no bleeding and no anesthetic, the company says. Early adoption has been a challenge. Dentists are trained a certain way and don’t like to deviate. So far just 5,000 dentists in Brazil have tried it and 3,000 are still using it. Another early use is drilling into the earth. CVD did a pilot-sale of some diamond-adhered drill tips to Petrobras a few months ago.
The hope is to turn CVD into a platform company that can spin out lots of these ideas, and partner with others to take them to market. Obviously, the challenge here will be the latter. The technology is there, and Airoldi, a CalPoly grad who got his ideas about tech transfer from his experience in California, can come up with dozens of use cases of the top of his head. Focus is going to be a key for this company.
But, like the others, CVD is trying to introduce new technology into a host of industries most people have forgotten about. If that’s going to be the new technology green field – or blue ocean—opportunity, Brazil is a good place to bet.
Kyte Now Offering Broadcast-Quality Live Video Streaming Backpack
Live video streaming on the web is becoming more and more popular, and for news organizations and brands who don’t want to shell out thousands of dollars a day for a satellite truck there is another option. At SXSW, Kyte is going to release a new product called Kyte LivePro Unwired with Spin magazine.
LivePro is a computer in a backpack connected to six data cards all uploading live video at the same time, balancing the load across three different carriers (Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon). It is made by LiveU and Kyte will be reselling it to its larger customers. (LiveStream uses the same technology in its Livepack).
Kyte CEO Daniel Graf came by my office the other day to show me the technology (see video below). It is incredible that a backpack can now replace a satellite truck. You won’t get HD quality, but you can get broadcast-TV quality, and it is certainly better than uploading video from your mobile phone, which Kyte also allows. He says that typical livestreaming rates with the backpack are 700 kilobits to 1 megabit per second.
Some customers using Kyte’s online video platform include Fox News, MTV, and Calvin Klein. Graf says Kyte is now streaming 100 million videos a month across its network, up from 50 million last summer.
妈妈
Shared by 阿登arden
朴实，感人
三八妇女节，妈妈终于能休息一下了。我发短信祝她节日快乐，她回复说自己正在领奖呢，奖品是一部手机。我说，好啊，你不是早就想把那部用了很久的破手机换掉了嘛。
妈妈得的奖叫做“巾帼十佳”，县里评的。这个听上去很拉风的奖项对她而言其实并不算什么，9年前她就得过安徽省的“五一劳动奖章”了。妈妈经常抱怨我太“低调”，不把自己得到的荣誉和奖励告诉她，其实她不也是一样么：省级、市级、县级的荣誉她都没有对我说起过，这一次的“巾帼十佳”我也是过年时在酒席上才听别人提到的。
当然，我知道这两件事其实很不相同：妈妈的荣誉里没有我的功劳，而我得到的荣誉则应该掰出一部分送给妈妈。
每当有人向妈妈讨教“育儿妙招”时，她总是谦虚地说：我没什么功劳，都是孩子奶奶培养的。的确，她的工作太忙了，中午没有时间给我做饭，也没有时间辅导我的学习，我的家庭启蒙教育全靠奶奶完成。不过，这就能否定她的功劳吗？显然不是，没做午饭，还有晚饭；没有教我做数学题，起码给了我一个会做数学题的大脑。
这些讨教妙招的人听了妈妈的话之后，便转而羡慕妈妈的轻松，仿佛什么都不用做就培养出了一个好儿子。还有人说：果然男孩长得像妈就有好福气。虽然我其实更希望自己长得像爸爸，因为那样就可以长得更帅一些，但是在帅气和福气之间，我还是选择后者吧，呵呵。
我想，妈妈的“轻松”也许证明了上帝的公平吧：工作太忙，在育儿上便可以少操点心。不过我也知道，妈妈其实并没有那么轻松和超然，她像所有的母亲一样为孩子操心，只不过有时候“有力不必使”，有时候“有力使不出”。我14岁时离家去市里上学，她一直自责没有多跑几趟照顾好我的饮食，导致我在长身体的时候营养没有跟上，否则可以再长高一些。虽然我觉得没有必要长到一米八，但她的自责总让我希望自己凭空再长几厘米，因为那样就是妈妈心目中的完美儿子了。
不过，或许我早就脱离了她心目中的“完美”设想。在妈妈看来，我应该去读一门类似于建筑学这样的工科，然后找一份稳定的工作，过安逸幸福的生活，而不是像现在这样，读了一个跟社会纠缠太深的专业，还经常在博客上公开发表“敏感”言论。她现在常说，儿子20岁之前没有让她操心，难道20岁之后还要让她担心？
我理解妈妈的担心，如果我是她，我也会这么想。不过，这个世界早已不是她所想象的那个样子，我们已经有了足够的自由和保障，去追求心中的理想。我想对妈妈说：我将要从事的职业，和您毕生从事的工作是类似的，您在为病人检查身体、治疗疾病；而我则要为这个社会检查身体、治疗疾病。您的职业在带给您辛劳的同时，也给您带来荣光，而您则给无数病人带来希望——我的职业也会是这样。
妈妈一定会看到这段话，因为她的业余爱好就是看博客——我的，以及我链接中所有同学、朋友的。每次放假回家时，她总能够对这些同学和朋友的状况如数家珍，比我还清楚。我知道，她看的其实不是博客，也不是寂寞，而是牵挂。
一张图让你了解美国电影分级标准
Shared by zhongwuke
很清楚！很明白！很有意思！
美国的MPAA，它的全称为 “The Motion Picture Association of America ”即“美国电影协会”，总部设在加利福利 （Encino,California ）。
1968年以前，美国电影协会未制定分级制度，后来在导演和制作单位呼吁更大的艺术创作自由的压力下，电影分级制度于1968年11月1日出台。
美国电影协会（MPAA）制定的非官方的影视作品分级制度如下：
- G级（GENERAL AUDIENCES All ages admitted）：大众级，所有年龄均可观看。该级别的电影内容可以被父母接受，影片没有裸体、性爱场面，吸毒和暴力场面非常少。对话也是日常生活中可 以经常接触到的；
- PG级（PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED Some material may not be suitable for children）：普通辅导级，一些内容可能不适合儿童观看，有些镜头可能产生不适感，建议在父母的陪伴下观看。该级别的电影基本没有性爱、吸毒和裸体 场面，即使有时间也很短，此外，恐怖和暴力场面不会超出适度的范围；
- PG-13级（PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13）：特别辅导级，不适于13岁以下儿童，13岁以下儿童尤其要有父母陪同观看，一些内容对儿童很不适宜。该级别的电影没有粗野的持续暴力镜头，一般没 有裸体镜头，有时会有吸毒镜头和脏话；
- R级（RESTRICTED Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian）：限制级，17岁以下必须由父母或者监护陪伴才能观看。该级别的影片包含成人内容，里面有较多的性爱、暴力、吸毒等场面和脏话；
- NC-17级(即X级) （NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED）：17岁或者以下不可观看，该级别的影片被定为成人影片，未成年人坚决被禁止观看。影片中有清楚的性爱场面，大量的吸毒或暴力镜头以及 脏话等。
- X：NC-17级的前身，在1990年被NC-17级所取代。这一级的电影基本上不适合在大院线里公映，都属于限制类的。via

中国式的尊严：学雷锋，做好事；五讲四美三热爱；八耻八荣等等。结果还是没能阻挡人们的尊严的下降
一个大学同学，毕业后五年在二十八岁时就任近十万人口县属小镇镇长。三年后升任为该县宣传部长，而后副县长，配有专车和专门的司机。他的政治野心不小，在官场上如鱼得水。有一年回国我去看他，他开口的第一个问题就是；你为什么不回国？中国应该有更适合你的专业的位置和机会。
我想都没有想地答道：为了有尊严地活着。
同学十分不解地看了我一会儿。但他没有继续追问，而是让他的司机随时待命，亲自开车带我去他工作和管辖的地区转转，并开玩笑说：好多年我都不开车了，但是今天，我给你当司机！我明白他的意思今天我是他的贵宾，但经他这么有意一说，也让我意识到他今天在降尊纡贵。司机，在他眼里是低人一等的仆从。
我们每到一处，总是被一群人围着前恭后迎，小心赔笑奉承有加，连到餐馆吃饭都是老板亲自出马，殷勤备至。我跟着他狐假虎威了一回，体验到有如皇帝出游般前呼后拥的至尊至贵，这是我在美国没有的经历。
饭后同学旧话重提，吹捧说我在中国肯定会混得比他好，为什么会有在中国活得没有尊严的想法呢？我没有回答他的问题，而是问他，如果某一天他成为一介平民的话，他还会有这样每到一处的礼遇吗？他说他没有想过自己将来会成为一介平民，但如果是的话，估计不会被人这样奉迎着。这就是了。其实在中国没有必要成为一介平民来体会尊严的差别，只需换个角度，你能不能像尊重你的上级一样来尊重你的司机？他们只不过是职业的不同而已。同学老实承认不能，也突然明白我的意思，感叹道，尽管他在这儿人模人样，但如果去省城或北京的话，肯定也是一条哈巴狗，甚至被人当成流浪狗。
没错，在中国，一个人是否被尊重和被尊重的多少取决于你身上披着的社会身份的大小或财富的多少。
在美国，我是典型的一介平民，尽管操着不太流利而且有口音的英语，以及长着不主流的面孔，但每到一处我很少有不被尊重的感觉，仅有的几次还是来源于自己的同胞和新移民。无论是学习工作场所，还是生活消费场所，无论是锦衣绣服，还是破衣滥衫，我个人的经历还没有被人公开歧视过。但在中国，我却时时处处感到不被尊重和歧视，或因为不太高档的衣着，或因不太主流或优越的口音，或长得不富或不贵的面孔等等。说人家美国人是表里不一的伪君子也好，假仁假义的伪善者也好，但人家至少文明到不会明目张胆地歧视人或轻贱人甚至羞辱人。
我也告诉同学，我每天很骄傲地给自己和家人当司机，有时候也给同事和朋友当司机。工作午餐外出就餐时，经常是老板或老板的老板给我们当司机。我所在的美国的城市市长，甚至多数国务部长、国会议员或州长都是自己开私车上下班。即使雇用司机也会对他们彬彬有礼，因为一方面对人本身的尊重是西方的基本价值，另一方面司机手里握有这些人的一票。
像有权的同学一样，一个有钱的同学也不太明白尊严在中国是个问题。在中国的经济和司法还随处有缝可钻的时候，这个同学凭借在政府部门的特殊关系，在只赚不亏的房地产行业找到了他成为富人的位置；在中国的道德开始堕落到以更新妻子包养二奶为荣的时候，他不仅与时俱进地换了个年轻漂亮的妻子，而且在同学朋友中从来不隐瞒包养的情人。现在他家里雇佣了两个保姆和一个专职司机，这些也是他向人展示他的财产的一部分。总之，他总是踩着了时代的步伐，以至他时常感叹，生为男人，只有生在中国才值得。如此的际遇，尊严在他那儿当然不是问题。
“尊严”的话题被提起也是因为他不理解我为什么不回国，是在一帮老同学聚会上，这个有钱的同学在一家餐馆请客。到了该点菜的时候，有钱的同学一招手，四个服务员同时快步躬身迎上来。那是个特殊的包间，配有四个服务员站在房间四角随时待命。同学嫌他们有碍同学间的私密话题把他们赶到了门外。每次有要求，他只需要一招手或对外高声叫道：服务员，再拿份菜单！服务员，饮料！服务员，点烟！等等。点菜的口气更是铿锵有力。当他再次埋头挥手招人时，没有注意到身后一个服务员手里拿了一杯酒正准备递给他，结果酒杯被打落在地，一些酒洒在他身上。同学大眼一瞪，服务员吓得面如灰色连连道歉。我坐在一旁，津津有味地“欣赏”着同学那高高在上有如指挥千军万马的气势，想象不了这曾经是个见了女生就满脸通红、以至初恋情人被人抢走后无助地失声痛哭的大男孩。金钱，是如此地能把一个懦夫变成强者和尊者。
终于等他点完了菜，我告诉他，在美国读书时，我也曾在餐馆端过盘子洗过碗，可是从来没有人对我大呼小叫过。那时英语很糟，不时会出错拿错了菜，但大多数客人投以理解的一笑礼貌地要求换菜，幽默点的谢谢我让他们尝到了一道新菜。而且如果人家对我的服务满意的话，还会给我额外的小费。同学哽咽着，半天没有说话。我以为他正在为自己刚才的行为失当深感愧意呢。不料他却说，在美国那么不好混啊，为什么不回来？
这次轮到我哽咽了。原来有钱人还在坚持己见，即餐馆服务生比他这个有钱人低微数个等级，以至那么地同情他的老同学居然也做过这类的工作。不仅如此，他还理直气壮地说，我花钱买服务，听我的使唤是他们份内的事！可是，有钱人，你买的是人家的服务，这项服务只包括人家态度和善地帮你点菜上菜收盘子等份内的事，并不包括额外的面对你的傲慢和不尊、轻视甚至羞辱。在这个社会上，无论一个什么样的职位，上至国家主席或总统，下至搬运工清洁工，都是在直接或间接在为别人提供服务。因社会的分工和机会的不均等，以及其它一些因素使得职业存在着高低的区别，其报酬形式已经通过金钱和社会地位表现出来了，但职业的尊严和做人的尊严并没有因此而有区别。
人性的尊严是与生俱来的。在一个正常的社会里，是个人，就应该被尊重。但在中国，尊严是要通过某种外在的东西交换得来的，比如用金钱，或权势或社会地位等等，这是为什么大多数人都踩着别人往上爬，爬到一个等级后就踩着比自己低一等的人搜括着别人的尊严而享受着这种搜括。自古就有“万般皆下品”的说法，“惟有读书高”只不过是读书人的臆想，几千年来，从来是“惟有权钱高”。
本来，贫穷并不必然低贱，低微也不必然没有尊严，富有权势也不是尊严的同义词。这个世上，清贫而有尊严地活着的大有人在。但在中国，贫穷低微却是没有尊严的代名词。经典的“笑贫不笑娼”就出自这个土壤，是对这种钱比尊严更重要的价值观作了最好的阐释。
其实说生活在中国缺少尊严不完全对，缺少尊严的只是普通老百姓，有权有势有钱的人不缺这个。官尊民卑，上尊下卑，富尊贫卑，这就是中国式的尊严。
几十年来，为了倡导高尚的互尊互爱的道德，动员全国人民响应的口号一个接着一个：学雷锋，做好事；五讲四美三热爱；八耻八荣，等等。结果呢，从幼儿园开始喊的口号，还是没能阻挡人们的道德水平越来越低，人活得越来越没有尊严的趋势。我们当官的有钱的带头把“八耻”变成了“八荣”。我们的大款们学习雷锋好榜样，敲锣打鼓地捐款救济穷人灾民，捐得稍有点数目的其大名毫不谦虚地昭示在报刊电台头版头条成了大救星。穷人还没有来得及磕头感恩戴德，几个豆腐渣工程、几个通过广告包装的产品、几个声嘶力竭的演出、几个为人们服务的骗局，把这些捐的钱又源源不断地收回到了大款的口袋里。今年春节，我们的亲民领导们终于发现，我们的人民活得没有尊严，于是一个新口号诞生了：让人民活得有尊严。
领导，人们怎样有尊严得起来？稍微有点良心不太“三热爱”的人们，监狱侍候！而且没有任何正常的司法程序，尽管那些司法本身也不公正。想说不该说的话或上访？知不知道警察叔叔腰里有枪？最不济的还有警棍呢，连只发了一根柴火棒的城管都有权随意打人。不听话的人多了，军队上来了。还要顽固抵抗？坦克机关枪打前锋。死在枪下的都是不法分子，活着就不是好人，死了就更没有尊严了，纪念他们当然是有罪的！不同意拆迁？你家的房子或坟墓比我的钢铁造的推土机厉害？我们要奥运了世博了，外国人要来了，你们——脸上脏兮兮的身上破破烂烂的民工，有碍市容有辱我们的国际形象，得滚出城里回到乡下，等尊贵的外宾走后再回来做又苦又累还脏的活……这些，都是领导们让老百姓活得有尊严所做的努力？！
其实，要让百姓活得有尊严并不难。把是否能当官和当官的前途放在老百姓手上，当官的还敢作威作福随便践踏掌握他仕途的人的尊严？没有终身的官员也没有终身的上下级关系，“上尊下卑”还会有问题？提供一个公平竞争的社会环境和较公正的司法系统，任何人都有通过自身的努力而不是通过权力走向富裕的机会，富人也还会那么耀钱扬威了？
中国人，如果剥去了权势和金钱的外衣，还能剩下什么呢？我们普通老百姓还需要等多久才真的活得有尊严呢？

5 reasons why your company should be distributed
Shared by Anew
开明关系( http://www.kaiguanxi.net )何时能分布式？
I’ve noticed a new trend in Silicon Valley. More and more startups are beginning life as distributed companies, and investors and partners are starting to accept it as normal. Our company Automattic is distributed, and I’m ready to sing the praises of running a business in this way. BTW, I think distributed (“evenly spread throughout an area”) is a better description than the more commonly used virtual (“nearly real or simulated to be real”) for a company that has people working from all over the place instead of a centralized office. In Automattic’s case, we currently have over 50 employees spread across 12 US states and 10 countries.
Here are my top 5 reasons why you should consider the distributed model for your company:
- Your employees will love it: I can’t overstate how much quality of life people get out of working for a distributed company. You get the best of working remotely – flexible hours, no commute, a personal work environment, much more time with friends and family – without the typical downsides – guilt about being away from the office, or missing out on hallway discussions. In addition, your employees get to live where they want, not where the job market dictates. We’ve had several people join Automattic and then move to places where they always wanted to live. We’ve also had people travel extensively while working from the road. This ability to move without having to worry about getting a different job is very freeing (even if you don’t end up moving, just having the option is nice). I’ve heard from many of our “Automatticians” that they simply can’t imagine going back to a “commute & cubicle” type job.
- You can hire great people wherever you find them: Once your company is untethered from one physical location, your pool of available job applicants becomes the entire world. You can hire anyone who fits the culture and mission of your company wherever they live. You also get to better insulate yourself from the competition and ups and downs of a particular local job market, and you’ll automatically get better coverage of multiple time zones and languages when your team is more distributed. In our case, the first 4 employees were spread apart pretty widely. First was Donncha in Ireland, then Andy in Texas, Matt in San Francisco, and Ryan in San Jose (I was next, also in San Francisco). Those first 4 guys had already been working together on the WordPress open source project, so it was natural for them to join up and keep working remotely the way they had. And then we just kept adding people in this fashion, often working together first through an open source or consulting project, then joining forces full-time if things work out for both sides. BTW, we use AdminiStaff to deal with the payroll and tax complexities of hiring people all over the place.
- You will use better communication tools: Communications is a challenge for every company and one that’s amplified for distributed ones because the communication channels are more narrow – a chat conversation is simply not as rich as a real life one. But there are advantages as well. A chat conversation can be archived, searchable, and visible to the entire team, whereas in person conversations in meetings and hallways are often lost to the ether. Being distributed is a good excuse to abolish inefficient meetings, conference calls, and email silos, and get the whole team to use better online collaboration tools. In our case, IRC was our preferred tool for the first year. It’s a real-time chat room for the company that we enhanced by keeping logs (to have searchable archives) and by running bots to automatically publish things like code commit notices into the chat stream. When the team got to about 15 people, the IRC channel got too busy and we split into several channels. We then took this concept a step further and developed a real-time group blogging theme for WordPress called P2 (similar tools are SocialCast and Yammer). P2 provides an activity stream for every project going on in the company. Today, we still have our IRC channel for real-time group chat, but the majority of company communications takes place on a couple dozen P2s (Matt has a great write-up on how P2 changed our company). We also use Skype and email, but only when necessary for one-on-one communication. Anything that isn’t strictly private, we push to P2s to make sure there’s an archive of the information accessible to everyone in the company.
- You can still be social: Probably the biggest disadvantage to being distributed is the lack of social interaction. Online tools help make up for some of this, but most people like to spend some time together to make their work experience more enjoyable. The good news is that there are ways to compensate for this. We took inspiration from the MySQL team and started having in person meetups for the whole company every 6 months. These meetups last one week and we’ve had them in places like Arizona, Mexico, Canada, Stinson Beach and Colorado. Given how intensely we work together every day, there’s a lot of pent-up excitement by the time we meet in person and the week tends to fly by. During the initial meetups we just spent time hanging out and working our regular jobs side by side for the week. Along the way we refined the model. We now prepare for meetups by thinking up team projects that can be built and launched in a week. This turns our meetups into a kind of “hack week” with 2-3 person teams working on projects and demoing and launching them at the end of the week. We also spend a lot of time socializing, having fun excursions (hiking, golfing, go-kart racing, etc), and doing 10 minute lightning talks followed by Q&A (short talks by anyone in the company on whatever topic they feel like sharing). As we grow, we continue to look for ways to push the envelope on getting people together. We’ve started encouraging teams within the company to have their own mini-meetups, to come work from San Francisco for a while, and to congregate at various WordCamps.
- Your offices will be more fun: A distributed company doesn’t have one, large centralized office but there are other office options available. Team members often work from home (or really from anywhere), but if there are several people near each other that’s a good reason to start up a co-working space. The key to those spaces is that they’re not permanent offices. No one has a desk that they have to go to every day. People come and go when they want and bring whatever they need to do the work – typically a laptop. It’s a great environment for social interaction (both within the company and with the larger business community in a given area) but it doesn’t undermine the rest of the distributed company because overall company decision-making and communication still happens online, accessible to everyone. We started Automattic with no office and stayed that way for about 18 months. After a while we noticed some weird looks from larger partners because we kept asking to meet at their place or at a coffee shop. So we rented a space on one of the piers in San Francisco for meetings and events. It’s set up like a “lounge” without any permanent desks or offices. Those of us who live in or are visiting San Francisco use it as a co-working space, and we use it often for WordPress meetups and make it available to other startups and tech organizations for events in our area.
So there it is. I know that the distributed model feels very strange to business people who are used to the traditional, centralized way of running a company. But I’m here to tell you that it works. It might even work a lot better than the traditional model for certain types of businesses. After all, distributed systems tend to work well in general (the internet itself being a prime example). If you try this model yourself, I think you will see clear benefits in employee happiness and hiring, and I recommend these core strategies that have worked for us: Have frequent company and team meetups to address the social challenges, use co-working and event spaces instead of traditional offices, and fully embrace new real-time, activity stream inspired communications tools like P2. Good luck!

Entourage Edge——双屏 Android 电子书/平板评测
Shared by Peijian
俺在1月拉斯维加斯的CES见过这个东东。有想法！有没有市场，就不知道了
by K.T. Bradford from LaptopMag | EchoKou, Logout 译，转载请注明ifanr.com 译文链接。
两个屏幕比一个好？Entourage Edge 针对学生推出了售价 499 美元的电子书阅读器/平板混合产品，一边是9.7 英寸的 Eink 屏幕(Kindle 那种屏幕)，另一边是 10.1 英寸的 LCD 屏幕。Entourage 称它为“dualbook”，多功能特性令人印象深刻。用户可以通过它的 Android 系统下载并阅读电子书、用手写笔做笔记、对上课内容录音。在课余浏览喜欢的网站或播放音乐和视频。我们欣赏这款产品的“双重人格”，但它的设计则稍显粗笨，可用的程序也很缺乏，有些功能还无法使用。阅读下文，看看 Edge 究竟能否给你双倍的使用快感。
设计
27.4 x 21 x 2.5 cm 的 Edge 有着和10寸上网本同级别的尺寸和重量，但更薄、更长。iPad 的厚度仅为 Edge 的一半，不过它也只有一个屏幕。外观方面，Edge 大致乍看有点像白色的 Macbook，平滑的外壳不加装饰，将所有的精彩留给了内在。我们用来评测的这一台颜色是略带灰色的冰川白，Edge 同时提供午夜蓝、钢琴黑、宝石红和冰蓝色供选择。除午夜蓝外，其他颜色价格都要贵40美元。
展开 Edge，我们注意到的第一件事就是每一个屏幕都可以展开180度。用户可以背折屏幕，选择只用其中的一个屏幕，可以平放，也可以折成任意角度比如45度角。铰合机构足够扎实，可以保证两个屏幕维持固定角度。为避免滑动(并保护屏幕)，外壳和内沿都有橡胶条保护，但我们希望打开屏幕的时候最好能有锁扣将屏幕外框固定在一起。
Edge 的问题在于它的重量有 1.3kg，不利于长时间手持。像平板一样放在臂弯上也还舒服，但用上 45 分钟就觉得太累了。以 90 度角打开两个显示屏，像拿书一样拿 Edge会好一些，但一个小时以后还是觉得太重。对学生来说这可能不算大问题，他们做作业或者读书时通常会把 Edge 平放在桌面上。
Eink 屏的遍布着 Edge 的接口。顶部有SD 卡和 SIM 卡槽（都有橡胶保护盖），旁边是可连接 PC 的 miniUSB 口和 WiFi 开关。两个USB接口、耳机接口和电源线接口和音量键同为一排，可拆卸的电池位于底部边缘。手写笔插槽在 LCD 屏幕一侧。
菜单键、Home 键、返回键都在10.1寸 LCD 触摸屏右侧，功能和 Android 手机、平板上一样。还有一个按键用来旋转屏幕90度，切换横屏/竖屏。网络摄像头(现在还不可用)在 LCD 屏幕上方。
Eink 屏的左边沿是典型的电子书阅读器按钮：缩放、下一页、最后一页。第四个按钮可以在 ebook 和文档/日志功能（详细介绍在下文）之间切换，当然也可以通过触摸屏实现，但需要手写笔。
发热
背折屏幕时我们并没有察觉到任何不适。打开平放后发现塑料材质的背壳很热。测量结果显示在 41-43 度。阖上 Edge 的屏幕放在包里，外壳也有明显发热，不过没有平放那么夸张。
Edge 的 Eink 屏大小为 9.7 英寸，分辨率是1200 x 825，8 级灰阶。10.1 英寸彩色 LCD 屏分辨率为 1024 x 600，和大多数上网本的屏幕同规格。
电阻式 LCD 触摸屏支持手指触摸和手写笔（用手指甲也可以），多数时候都能响应。和大多数电阻屏一样，Edge 有时会把滚动当成点选。我们没花很长时间就掌握了最佳操作方法，但和电容屏相比还是逊色。
LCD 屏表明的雾化处理和 Eink 屏成为绝配，避免了屏幕反射问题。但这款 LCD 屏的可视角度很窄，平放着浏览网页就比较痛苦，你肯定得伸脖子。
Entourage 支持两个屏幕同时显示。你在 LCD 屏上的在线图书馆里浏览图书，选定文档后就会有个箭头指示内容可以显示在 Eink 屏上。Edge 支持 PDF 和 ePUB 格式，并支持嵌入多媒体内容（如视频）和超链接。点击后会在 LCD 屏上加载合适的项目。Eink 屏上的图片显示相当好，如果用户想看全彩色版本，只需点击摄像头图标，再点击图片，Edge 就会在 LCD 屏上通过 Android 的图片浏览器加载内容（如果此时 LCD 屏开着的话）。
电子书阅读器功能
Edge 的 9.7 英寸 Eink 屏与 Kindle DX 同级别，虽然它只能显示 8 级灰阶而 Kindle DX 可以显示 16 级。Edge 的屏幕足够大，用户可全屏查看文档时仍留有页边距，可以自定义默认的字体和边距大小。
Edge 对学生来说特别有用的一点是屏幕采用支持 Wacom Penable 的手写笔。用户可以在可写的 ePUB 和 PDF 文档中直接写笔记或者涂鸦、标注重点段落、也可以用软键盘输入印刷体。Edge 的 Eink 屏比同样可触摸的 Sony Reader Daily Edition 阅读器显示更锐利（译注：后者用的是电阻触屏，对透光率影响很大）。
除了标重点和做笔记，用户还能快速接入 Edge 的书库，查看最近打开过的书籍、信息，实现简单的搜索功能，并通过屏幕顶部的图标实现 PDF 回览。高级翻页/查找功能和页码在屏幕的底部显示。
翻页时间算是很好了，但还未达到我们的期望值。在做过笔记那一页的翻页的速度很慢，达到4秒。
可用内容
Edge是电子书阅读器和平板的混合，支持多种不同的文件格式。Eink 屏只能支持 ePUB 和 PDF 文件，但用户可以在 LCD 屏上阅读和编辑 Word 、Excel、PowerPoint 文档，此外还支持 txt 文档。除文本格式外，Edge 还支持 MP3、WAV、3GPP、MP4、AAC、OGG 和 M4A 音频回放；3GP 和 MP4 视频回放。现在还不支持 H.264 Adobe Flash Lite 视频回放，但在随后的几个月会升级并提供支持。
Entourage 和其他电子书阅读器厂商一样，有自己的电子书店，可以通过互联网或设备本身访问。目前有20万本书，和索尼电子书店的数目相当，还不到 Amazon Kindle 电子书店的一半。《纽约时报》畅销书榜上只有一半的书目可以在 Entourage 的电子书店中找到，Barnes & Noble 则有榜单上 95% 的书目，Amazon 是 98%。不过，Edge 支持 ePUB 格式，用户可以通过 Entourage 以外的渠道获取图书。
电子图书的价格基本上在从6美元到30美元之间，《纽约时报》畅销书起价为7美元。用户还可以从书店中下载到 Google Books 的100 多万本书。Entourage 不提供期刊，相比 Kindle 2，Nook、Sony Reader Daily Edition 是个短处。
笔记和日志
根据不同文档类型，屏幕顶端的图标有所变化，也决定了用户是否能进行手写。如果文档允许写入、标注重点或添加笔记，就会出现笔形的图标。重点的标注和我们预期的一样，虽然屏幕是灰色调的，重点还是能够在阅读时清晰地呈现。添加了笔记的单词和段落也以类似的方式凸显，与标注的重点区别在于灰色要暗一些。
点击笔和纸的图标弹出另一行高级手写功能选项。选择线条粗细和阴影/色彩，描画图形和线条，擦除。用户可以把做过标记的页面导出到 PDF，也可以单独保存文档。这个过程和纸面上的不同——小而拥挤的手写字迹可能看不清楚，Edge 上最细的线条也无法和一支好笔相比。但写入笔记则比 Kindle DX 容易不少，边距空间也比索尼 Daily Edition 大。如果你的笔迹比较难辩认，可以点“平滑化”按钮让字迹显示更清晰。
Edge 还提供日志的功能，可以看作是虚拟的纸板。它甚至还提供宽平行线、网格纸、空白画板的选项。在这样的数字日志本上写字和在纸上写字感觉不一样，我们发现字要写大一点才能看清晰。“平滑化”的功能在日志中也有提供，用户可以选择一边手写输入一边平滑化。但其用这项功能会明显拖慢速度。建议一页写满后再一次性平滑化。日志可以有多页，用户保存时可以用日志文档的格式（.esj）保存，或者导出到 PDF。
我们用日志功能来记笔记和制定未完成事项列表，发现 Edge 是可接受的纸质笔记本替代。但书中可手写的页边距不是很有用，就算是调到最大边距尺寸，空间也不不够空间记录稍多的内容。长远考虑非手写的笔记功能可能更实用，可是用户必须点击图标才能查看内容，而不是扫一眼书的内容就能看到笔记。这些问题不是毁灭性的，但需要继续改进。
我们喜欢 Edge 的跨屏幕显示功能，但希望 Eink 屏有键盘，这样在输入非手写笔记和为文件命名的时候，就不需要同时使用两个屏幕了。还希望 Eink 屏也能加载 word 文档，而不是只显示在 LCD 上。
Android 平板功能
熟悉 Android 的人使用运行着 Android 1.6 系统的 Edge 平板功能会很顺手。彩色 LCD 屏上显示的界面和其它 Android 手机、平板很相似，加了点专有的调整。底部（横屏时出现在右侧）的五个按钮分别是在线商店、书库、内置浏览器、邮件和 Entourage 图标。点击最右侧的 Entourage 图标会显示所有已安装程序和近期浏览过的书籍、文档。此外，帮助、锁屏、WiFi 管理这三个图标也突出显示。
Marvell 公司的 Armada PXA168 处理器（1.2 GHz，软件降频至 800 Mhz）和 512MB 主内存的组合造就了一个反应比较迅速的平板。尽管 Android 可以多任务，但在 Edge 上切换多任务并不如 Windows 上网本平滑。操作系统感觉上比摩托罗拉 Droid/Milestone 略慢，但远没有 Camangi WebStation 平板慢得那么夸张。
软键盘在横竖屏模式下都与屏幕同宽，在横屏模式下也留出了足够的空间让用户浏览自己输入的好几行文字。“二指禅”用户在上面打字可能会比较容易，我们试着在 Edge 上快速输入，键盘记下了我们所敲的全部内容，但过了几秒钟，内容才出现在屏幕上。通过软键盘在 DocumentsToGo 里做些小修改很方便，不过若要长篇大论的话，实体键盘绝对是更好的选择。
Edge 内置 4GB 闪存，其中有 3GB 可供用户使用。如果你需要额外的空间来放音乐、电影的话，SD 卡槽最大支持 32GB 的 SDHC 卡。由于 Edge 的重点不是多媒体，它不支持太多视频格式，仅支持 3GP 和 MP4，另外 Flash Lite（H.264）也快来了。Edge 自带的标清视频放起来很顺畅，但色彩表现并没有其它笔记本电脑上那么明亮。
程序
Edge 内置了 Android 默认的程序，但不包括那些 Google 为手机推出的程序。这意味着无法访问 Android 程序市场，不过 Entourage 表示他们未来将提供一个自己的程序市场。Edge 内置的程序有默认的 WebKit 浏览器、Email 程序（支持 POP 和 IMAP，包括 GMail）、闹铃、图片库。Entourage 还提供了一个本地备份工具、Frozen Bubbles 游戏和 DocumentsToGo。
最好的内置程序无疑是 DocumentsToGo。每台 Edge 都内置了完整版的 DTG，允许用户浏览、编辑 Word、Excel 和 PowerPoint 文件。DTG 还可以用来浏览 PDF 文件，不过 PDF 默认由专有程序显示在 Eink 屏上。内置 DTG 的版本和手机上的相同，它可以很好的拉伸至全屏。文档格式显示无可挑剔，甚至可以跟踪 Word 文档里的更改。
我们希望日后的版本升级能在文档里提供涂鸦功能，正如 EPUB 和 PDF 目前在 E-Ink 屏上的功能一样。
Edge 还内置了麦克风，录音距离远至 10 米。学生可以很方便地使用内置录音程序录制课程或采访。我们在 3 x 3 米的会议室里测试了这个程序。Edge 录下了位于房间两端的两人所说的话，扬声器（在两个屏幕连接的铰合机构里）在最大音量下清晰、响亮地回放了录音。
尽管目前还没有 Entourage 提供的程序商店，我们已经想办法自行安装了一些程序。Facebook、Twidroid、Shazam、NewsRob、Dolphin 浏览器均使用正常，正常拉伸显示。还有一些程序安装、使用也很正常，但无法拉伸，包括：GDocs、Photoshop.com Mobile、eBuddy。这些程序并不是默认全屏，而是被显示在一个小窗口里，尺寸和普通智能手机屏幕差不多。
尽管 Edge 拥有上网本级别的屏幕尺寸和分辨率，但它的浏览器体验有些欠缺，因为自带 WebKit 浏览器不支持 Flash。不过 Edge 可以正常下载 NYTimes.com 和 Laptopmag.com 的页面。页面会随着横纵屏的切换填满屏幕，竖屏模式下我们可以看清主栏里的文字。Edge 的 802.11 b/g WiFi 让它能够 7 秒加载完 Laptopmag.com、4 秒加载完 m.CNN.com、14 秒加载完图片很多的 Tor.com。
电力续航和无线
Entourage 标注 Edge 在开启 LCD 屏时可以坚持 6 小时，只用 Eink 屏可以坚持 16 小时以上。这种电力消耗比我们预期的更快，不得不更频繁的充电。
尽管用户可以通过锁屏或合上机器关闭 LCD 屏，但它从不进入真正的睡眠模式。展开机器的瞬间 LCD 屏就点亮、合上的时候 Edge 依然是热的。这些迹象表明 Edge 一直保持着运行状态。我们给 Edge 充满电，锁定屏幕放上大约 12 小时以后再打开，电池仅剩下 15%。说明 Entourage 的标注应该是准确的。相比之下，Amazon 保证 Kindle DX 开着无线能用 4 天以上，它也确实能达到。
用户手册建议在不用的时候彻底关闭 Edge，但这就违背了即开即用的目的，而且 63 秒的启动时间也令人不爽。不管你怎么用它，每天都得充一次电。
缺失的功能和未来的升级
Edge 的一些硬件功能在发布之初无法使用，包括蓝牙连接和网络摄像头。未来的软件升级将包括程序商店、Flash Player Lite 和 Android 2.0。Entourage 保证将在未来几周内将开启全部硬件功能的固件升级推送到 Edge 上。其它软件升级将在今年 6 月实现。Edge 还缺少了一个重要的功能——3G 连接。目前的 Edge 只能在 WiFi 范围内从在线书店下载内容。Entourage 表示未来机型将内置 3G 模块。
总结
Entourage Edge 是一款创新的产品，阅读器/平板组合的实际表现比我们所预期的更好。我们喜欢 Android 的弹性和扩展性与大尺寸、可触电子书屏幕的结合。但最大的挑战正是 Edge 跨越了电子书阅读器和移动网络设备的分界。这款 dualbook 并不是最有效的生产力工具，它对用户的最大吸引力在于可以上网或者简单看一看电子书。499 美元的 Edge 比定位商务应用，售价 649 美元的 Plastic Logic Que 便宜，只比 9.7 寸的 Kindle DX 贵 10 美元。Edge 尺寸比这两款产品都大，但功能更多也更灵活。整体来说我们是喜欢 Edge 的，不过最好是等第一次升级完成，应用程序商店也就绪以后再入手。
