酷評：也難怪A83，A63一直降價，新出來的D83跟個垃圾似的，原來sharp打算要出新品了！但願XS1在亞太地區也能早點上市，不買壓壓A83的價也好。

Chrome Coming to Android | google打算集成chrome和android

The browser-bearing world was atwitter yesterday with the announcement of Google’s Chrome browser. Just about overnight, they’ve managed to convince hordes of people that Chrome is the way to browse on your PC. Next step? They’re taking it mobile.

According to an interview with Google co-founder Sergey Brin, the two projects will start working together more closely now that both are approached 1.0 releases, with the Android browser adopting much of Chrome’s inner workings. He also expects the mobile browser to pick up a new name to indicate the relation to it’s bigger, full-blown browsin’ brother.

酷評：android,手機的操作系統，有一點像microsoft家的windows，chrome，internet的瀏覽器，有一點像microsoft家的internet explorer。google說，我要集成，大家叫好期待，想想當年windows 95和internet explorer的捆綁，對了，那個叫捆綁，是不是有一點ironic？

Canon EF-S 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS preview

The EF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS is Canon's latest zoom lens for APS-C format DSLRs, introduced as a companion to the EOS 50D. Its announcement is unlikely to come as a surprise to many, as rumours of its imminent introduction have been circulating on the web for weeks, but it will still please Canon owners in search of an all-in-one lens ideally suited to travel and everyday shooting. With its 11x zoom range, this lens is Canon's most ambitious consumer-level zoom to date; the company has previously shied away from producing relatively inexpensive superzooms, with its only previous foray into this sector being the 28-200mm F3.5-5.6 (USM) for 35mm, which was introduced in late 2000. Indeed it's this older lens which the 18-200mm most strongly resembles, however Canon have managed to squeeze plenty more into the design in the intervening eight years. The zoom range has been stretched to a 35mm-equivalent range of 29-320mm, and the new lens incorporates Canon's latest compact image stabilization unit (as seen on the EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS and the EF-S 55-250mm F4.5-5.6 IS), which offers automatic panning detection and (according to the company) four stops of stabilization.

One design decision may however cause a degree of dismay; the lens uses a relatively unsophisticated micro motor system for autofocus, as opposed to the ring-type USM design more commonly seen on mid-range lenses such as the EF-S 17-85mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM. Consequently, potential buyers may struggle to find any obvious advantage over Tamron's recently announced 18-270mm F3.5-6.3Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro, which sports a longer zoom range and Tamron's own optical stabilization system. Aside from this, Canon have produced a lens which is clearly designed to counter the undeniable buyer appeal of Nikon's popular AF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 VR head-on. So let's take a closer look at the new lens's design.

Headline features

* 29-320mm equivalent focal length range; F3.5-5.6 maximum aperture
* Optical image stabilization – 4 stops
* EF-S mount for Canon APS-C dSLRS only

酷評：發現昨天搞了半天，沒把佳能這次的重量級產品貼上。。。我絕對相信這個鏡頭可以給50D帶來不少銷量，雖然它看上去還是像個套頭的素質。anyway，在繼nikon的18200vr推出無數年之後，canon也有他們自己的旅遊頭啦。
