Starwood Preferred Guest信用卡开卡25000 bonus points可在二手版至少换500刀
http://amex.co/RnQ2WA
Earn 10,000 Starpoints with your first purchase and an additional 15,000
Starpoints when you spend $5,000 in 6 months
http://amex.co/RnQ2WA
填完后会在60秒告诉你结果，这个卡是第一年免年费的，之后是$65, 可以在第二年关
闭避免被收取年费。即使第二年开始有年费，个人觉得还是一张值得长期使用的信用卡
。消费一笔后两周内会把10000 point在你卡上，不会使用的人可以兑换$100
giftcard. 选择其他的 giftcard(Starbucks, Gap,Nordstrom)请选择Redeem in other
partners。请注意这一万点就可以换到最高5晚的category 1的酒店入住了。
下面的是非常关键的内容：
大家可以直接在二手版直接将spg 25000点数兑换成500美金以上。
请大家千万不要把点数兑换以上的250刀 amazon gift card，因为可以直接使用获得的
点数入住SPG酒店，Category 1：以aloft为例，可以直接用2000points/晚入住周末
房，或者以1200 points+25刀在任意天入住。 Category 2：以Four Points by
Sheraton为例，可以使用3000points/晚入住周末房，或者以1600 points +30刀在任
意天入住。
即使是消费第一笔后获得的10000points，也可以获得最高五晚的酒店免费入住。而且
这类酒店在中国区也是有效的。如果消费满5000刀，更可以获得另外的最高十五晚的酒
店免费入住。
SPG信用卡基本介绍：
首先介绍一下这张卡的简单情况，这张卡是由Starwood连锁酒店与美国运通AMEX合作推
出的信用卡，申请成功之后会自动加入Starwood Preferred Guest, 通过点数无限制日
期（No Blackout Dates）任意兑换喜达屋旗下的九个优质品牌酒店（Sheraton,
Westin, Four Points by Sheraton, W Hotels, St. Regis, The Luxury Collection,
Le Méridien , element and Aloft）。作为SPG会员在SPG旗下酒店消费现在开卡首
次消费可以立刻获得 10,000点积分，足够兑换最多5晚的Category 1酒店（当地最便宜
实惠的酒店）。开卡后6个月内消费满$5,000可以再获额外的15, 000点积分，算上$5,
000消费本身获得的积分，可以获得共30, 000点积分，可以轻易兑换至少十五晚免费酒
店。

Tang2 Lei3: Ding Xiang Hua.
can't use youtube at work so can't give you a link.
But this song is very beautiful.
You never liked any of the songs I posted before.
This one, I hope you may like :)

这个和俺设想的差不多。
Apple's alleged move to ARM processors is expected to take place "as soon as
possible," likely when 64-bit
variations are available at the end of 2012 or by early 2013, according to
SemiAccurate (via MacRumors.
The site is run by Charlie Demerjian, previous editor of U.K. tabloid The
Inquirer.
Though SemiAccurate is not a frequent source of Apple rumors, the site did
report in July 2009 that Apple
was moving away from Nvidia chipsets at a gradual pace. Currently, Apple's
new MacBook Pros and iMacs
exclusively feature AMD Radeon graphics, or Intel's integrated option.
In addition to laptops, the report said that Apple would "presumably" be
looking to move its desktop Macs
to ARM architecture as well. It characterized the transition to Apple-made
chips for its line of computers as
a "done deal."
"Now you realize why Apple is desperately searching for fab capacity from
Samsung, Global Foundries, and
TSMC," the report said. "Intel doesn't know about this particular change of
heart yet, which is why they are
dropping all the hints about wanting Apple as a foundry customer. Once they
realize Apple will be fabbing
ARM chips at the expense of x86 parts, they may not be so eager to provide
them wafers on advanced
processes."
The rumor comes just days after a report indicated that Intel could be
interested in building mobile chips
for Apple, like the A5 processor found in the iPad 2. Intel currently makes
the CPUs powering Apple's
notebooks and desktops, but Apple has turned to ARM processors for a range
of devices, including its
iPods, Airport base stations, and iOS devices, including the new Apple TV.
Apple even entered the chip designing business starting with the A4
processor that powers the iPhone 4
and first-generation iPad. Apple gained the ability to design its own
systems-on-a-chip through the
acquisition of PA Semi for $278 million in 2008.
Even Microsoft has plans for the ARM architecture in the future, as mobile
devices offer longer battery life
with the low-power chips. The Redmond, Wash., software giant revealed at
this year's Consumer Electronics
Show that the next version of its desktop operating system, Windows 8, will
run on the ARM's architecture.

And the film made me realized Rolex Deepsea is a very awkward watch. I know
a lot of Laozhong love it and wear it. It's a stupid choice.

apple air/mac mini以下的娱乐为主的估计都可以用ARM systme-on-chip。以create为
主的imac,mac book pro等还得用其他的，计算能力和耗电是成正比的。

I'm so happy that we finally have one song in common :)
I like this one much since the first time I heard it.

I guess the ARM design, i.e. Ax, hasn't been good enough for Apple to do
this move. The performance is not that simply scalable to the number of
cores in the chip. It more makes sense that Apple will employ IBM Cell
architecture for its performance oriented product line in the future.
IBM Cell architecture can also help Apple enter gaming market if it wants.
