UC Berkeley Venture Competition is annoucint the final result. The students focused on the Engergy, Health Science and Web 2.0. I have no much interesting at the geek things．How the entrepreneurial project or business solves a problem facing society is the key point for pesentations to the faculcy and staff from the veture and entrepreneurial community to choose the winner.
What’s impress me much is one of the final winner, which is the web 2.0 project. MODISTA. It’s a shoe retailing site, has a unique web interface powered by specialized image similarity and machine learning algorithms to allow consumers to browse large collections intuitively.
World of Goo, I stumble on this game on IGF site in the early of this year. Now it finally released. You can pay 1500 Wii point for this game. Or purchase the PC version for 20.00 USD.
If you don’t know this game, please refer its wiki:
World of Goo is a puzzle computer game for the Wii and Windows (Mac OS X and Linux versions are planned) by 2D Boy, an independent game developer founded by Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel, both former Electronic Arts employees.[1][3] It was nominated for the Seumas McNally grand prize, Design Innovation Award and Technical Excellence at the Independent Games Festival.[4] It was released for the Wii’s WiiWare in North America on October 13, 2008.[5] The game is also to be released in Europe as a retail game with added content. The developer noted in an interview that “It’s not going to be a budget title, but I don’t know if it will be “full price” either”.[6]
I will experience amazing indie game on my PC. Look forward to see the gameplay. (more…)
Kaixin v.s Shangxin
I saw many great web2.0s today, and more interesting is that Shangxin001.com is coming out with the Kaixin001.com who caught up a wave of popularity of office guys. It’s not strange that some guys create this clone website with Kaixin. In China, to make a copy of successful business mode is a shortcut to gather users and money quickly. But we should pay more attention on the service which is the core competency for the web2.0 site. Let’s wait and see what will happen on these duplicates.
I plan to learn squash by this year. (more…)

太多神奇快速的创富故事而催生出的急功近利心态，是这一代青年创业者最危险的“心魔”
戴志康、李想、茅侃侃、高燃，四大80后互联网新锐“集体消失”了。
虽然外界依旧像两年前他们刚“出道”时那样密切关注他们的动向，但他们不再像从前那样频繁见诸媒体(仅李想获得投资那年就接受了200多次媒体访问)，只能偶尔在一些重头行业活动中听到他们的只言片语。
两年前，一群新新人类在商业舞台高调登场。这些出身各异的“80后”创业者们二十岁前后独立创业，他们颠覆既成的游戏规则，以不可预料的方式崛起，三五年甚至两三年就可以带领着数十、上百人的团队，拥有了千万、甚至过亿的创业财富。
不过现在，他们不约而同选择了把自己“隐藏”起来。“我们并没商量过。不过我们几个私下闲聊时，都有同样的想法。”戴志康说，“现在，我们需要些时间思考。”
经历了第一轮集体沉浮的80后创业者都有了一些变化，有的更迷茫，有的更清醒，有的更胆怯，有的更勇敢……无论如何，这是他们成长的两年。

原型：恒河
沙加同佛祖对话的地方，也就是他修炼的恒河流域是印度的圣河。这条河是印度教徒朝圣的地方，人们去那里祈愿，度过生命的最后阶段，甚至在河里火化。信徒们 相信恒河的水可以洗去自己身上的污浊或罪孽。但我们从现实的角度看，如此行为会让河水变得更脏，毫无疑问恒河会受到污染，不可能带来那些被认为是神所赐的 净化的。

原型：镰仓大佛（释迦牟尼坐像）
十二宫处女宫之战，当一辉发现自己在佛的手心中，这里的典故联系到中国古典小说《西游记》（西游记的法语名字居然是Le Roi Singe？！=_=||||倒了）至于这张佛像图，则源自于日本著名的镰仓大佛（Kamakura），这是仅次于奈良青铜大佛的日本第二大佛，建于 1252年，高13米。莲花基座用来代表释迦牟尼。
