Her following portrayals included roles in B-class movies, such as the 1996 horror film Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering, as well as roles in television and independent films.
Watts gained critical acclaim following her work in David Lynch's 2001 psychological thriller Mulholland Drive, starring alongside Justin Theroux and Laura Harring. The next year, she received public recognition for her participation in the box office hit horror film The Ring. In 2004, she received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress as well as for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Cristina Peck in Alejandro González Iñárritu's 2003 drama 21 Grams, alongside Sean Penn.

In 2010, Watts portrayed Valerie Plame Wilson, opposite Sean Penn as Joe Wilson, in Fair Game.


Rachel McAdams

Rachel Anne McAdams (born November 17, 1978) is a Canadian actress. After graduating from a four-year theatre program at York University in 2001, McAdams initially worked in Canadian television and film productions such as My Name is Tanino, Perfect Pie (for which she received a Genie Award nomination) and Slings and Arrows (for which she won a Gemini Award). Her first Hollywood movie was the 2002 comedy The Hot Chick. McAdams found fame in 2004 with starring roles in the teen comedy Mean Girls and the romantic drama The Notebook. In 2005, she appeared in the romantic comedy Wedding Crashers, the psychological thriller Red Eye and the family drama The Family Stone. She was hailed by the media as "the next Julia Roberts"[1][2] and received a BAFTA nomination for Best Rising Star.

However, McAdams withdrew from public life in 2006 and 2007. During this time, she turned down leading roles in high-profile films such as The Devil Wears Prada. She made a low-key return to work in 2008, starring in two limited release films: the film noir Married Life and the road trip movie The Lucky Ones. She returned to prominence in 2009 with appearances in the political thriller State of Play, the science-fiction romance The Time Traveler's Wife and the action-adventure film Sherlock Holmes. McAdams's first star vehicle was the 2010 comedy Morning Glory. In 2011, she starred in Woody Allen's romantic comedy Midnight in Paris and made a cameo appearance in the action-adventure sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. McAdams co-starred in 2012's romantic drama The Vow, and will next appear in both an as-yet-untitled Terrence Malick film and Brian De Palma's Passion.

McAdams lives in the Harbord Village neighborhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She has dated both Ryan Gosling and Josh Lucas, and is in a relationship with Michael Sheen. She is an environmentalist.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Kate Paltrow born September 27, 1972, is an American actress and singer. She made her acting debut on stage in 1990 and started appearing in films in 1991. After appearing in several films throughout the decade, Paltrow gained early notice for her work in films such as Seven (1995) and Emma (1996) (in which she played the title role). Following the films Sliding Doors (1998) and A Perfect Murder (1998), Paltrow garnered worldwide recognition through her performance in Shakespeare in Love (1998), for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress, a Golden Globe Award and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, for Outstanding Lead Actress and as a member of the Outstanding Cast. She also won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2011 for her role as Holly Holliday on the Fox hit TV show Glee in the episode "The Substitute".


Personal life

At the age of 24, Paltrow was engaged for six months to actor Brad Pitt, whom she dated from December 1994 to June 1997. The engagement was called off, according to Paltrow, because she wasn't ready for marriage and later felt responsible for hurting Pitt since she was "such a mess" during that time in her life. Paltrow has since said that, as this was her first high-profile relationship with another celebrity, it taught her the need for public discretion about her romantic life; she told Biography magazine, "I said things about being in a relationship [with Brad Pitt] that felt wrong to me even as I was saying them."

Paltrow had an on-off three-year relationship with actor Ben Affleck from 1997 to late 2000. Soon after their breakup, Paltrow convinced Affleck to work in the film Bounce with her; during the making of the film, which was shot in mid 1999, the couple started dating again and eventually broke up in October 2000.
In October 2002, Paltrow met Chris Martin of the British rock group Coldplay backstage three weeks after the death of her father, Bruce Paltrow. They married on December 5, 2003 in a ceremony at a hotel in Southern California. On 14 May 2004, the couple had their first child, a girl named Apple Blythe Alison Martin. Paltrow explained the unusual first name on Oprah, saying: "It sounded so sweet and it conjured such a lovely picture for me – you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical – and I just thought it sounded so lovely and … clean! And I just thought, 'Perfect!'"

Her second child, a boy named Moses Bruce Anthony Martin, was born on 8 April 2006, in New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital. Her son's first name was explained as the song, titled "Moses", that her husband wrote for her before their wedding. Paltrow has stated that she cut down on work after becoming a mother. She has also said that she suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her second child.


In 2010, she suffered a severe tibial plateau fracture, due to a vitamin D deficiency and osteopenia.
Paltrow discovered in 2011 that her father's family came from a long line of influential East European rabbis, and that inspired her to raise her daughter and son in a Jewish environment.

雲端商機大成長 - 政府策略之分析

IDC:2015年雲端年度產值上看1.1兆美元

微軟( Microsoft Corp .)5日指出,根據研調機構IDC的預估,預期從現在到2015年這段期間全球將新增將近1,400萬個雲端運算相關工作,其中大約有半數是落在中國大陸、印度;預估2015年雲端相關年度銷售額將達到1.1兆美元。

全球雲端產業的興起主要是起因於越來越多消費者擁有諸多裝置(智慧型手機、平板、電腦)。蘋果( Apple Inc. )預計在今年夏季結束前推出的新一代( Mac OS X 10.8 )麥金塔(Mac)作業系統「山獅( Mountain Lion )」是第一個以 iCloud 雲端儲存服務(目前用戶數已超過1億)為設計核心的OS X作業系統。iCloud將與許多Mac內建軟體進行整合。蘋果已在美國奧勒岡州Prineville市購買數據中心用土地,為擴大iCloud用戶數預作準備。

如果平板裝置年度銷售量有一天如蘋果執行長 Tim Cook 所預期地超越傳統PC,那麼可以肯定的是雲端服務用戶也將會跟著水漲船高。紐約時報報導,根據Canalys的統計,iPad問世第一年的時候,全球PC銷售量與平板的差距是二十比一;去(2011)年,此一差距已大幅縮小至六比一。
谷歌(Google Inc.)行動暨數位內容資深副總Andy Rubin誓言谷歌將加倍努力確保今年可以在平板市場擊敗對手。微軟主攻平板市場的 Windows 8 作業系統目前也獲得不錯的評價。可以想見的是,今年平板市場的熱度將會是前所未見的。


台股在龍年新春開紅盤後出現連三紅,價量齊揚推升指數站上7500點,也是亞洲主要股市這三天表現最強的市場。昨日雖沒有前兩天激昂表現,但收盤還是上漲32點,以7549點作收,成交量為1455億元。進入新的一年,台股不僅一掃年前選舉不確定陰霾,同時也搭上歐債危機緩和、全球股市回漲的順風車,元月指數上漲6.3%、創2004年以來最大元月漲幅。

而在新內閣拚雲端,雲端概念股也往前衝刺,昨日包括磁碟陣列普安(2495)、喬鼎(3057),伺服器業者神達(2315),光通訊聯鈞(3450)、F-科納(4984),伺服器導軌川湖(2059),伺服器機殼勤誠(8210),系統整合凌群(2453)等,多有3.5%以上的漲幅,摩根JF新興科技基金經理人歐陽渭棠分析,在政策加持下,搭上雲端熱潮之相關類股,將成為熱門投資標的。

摩根JF中小基金經理人陳慧宜表示,儘管景氣對策燈號亮起藍燈,且美股道瓊指數也連四黑,但台股「軋空手」行情延續,日線拉出連三紅,三天大漲315點。昨日雖然成交值略降,但仍維持在1400億元之上,類股間維持良好輪動,使得盤勢呈現高檔震盪,短線雖可能先呈現漲多小幅拉回,若拉回不破7382點,盤勢可望進入7400-7700點的箱型區間,本波反彈氣勢仍可望延續。

外資昨雖小幅賣超3.24億元,但本周以來仍加碼超過200億元,且外資在期貨淨多單已達65億元,仍看好台股後市,資金動能仍有加溫的跡象。

群益店頭市場基金經理人沈萬鈞指出,在外資回流及基本面好轉的搭配下,未來行情可望朝正向發展,建議可布局基期低、反彈力道較強勁的上櫃企業為主。


搬回台灣的這一年多來,我參加了很多「雲端服務」產業發展政策座談。這些活動的立意很好,廣邀產業界來對軟體/網路業的未來發言,建議政府能夠幫什麼忙。但可惜討論常常牛頭不對馬尾,明明要發展「雲端服務」,卻老是把「高科技製造業」的那套邏輯直接拿來套用。

最常討論的就是要政府建設「政府雲」,供服務業者運用,就好像蓋「科學園區」支持製造業一樣。

這真是天大的誤會,首先,「雲」根本不是用「蓋」的。Amazon 的 AWS,全世界最成功的「雲」,2006 年剛開始時根本只有兩三個功能,只有一個機房,「產能」也常常用盡。但這 5 年來他們一路緊貼著網路/軟體產業客戶的需求進步,不斷的更新、擴張、優化,漸漸的才發展成今天上百項功能,橫跨三大洲,世界第一的「雲」。

也就是說雲沒辦法蓋,而是要發展、營運、不斷優化。換句話說,雲不是「製造業」,雲是「服務業」。但以政府目前的採購模式,是沒辦法發展、營運、持續更新、服務一個「雲」的。真的發包出去「建置」了,最後大概也只是搞來一堆「蚊子雲」。

所以要發展「雲端服務」產業之前,政府可能要先把「製造業」的邏輯、架構、腦袋換掉,好好發展一個「服務業文化」,如此,或許才能真的幫助到網路/軟體業的發展。

分析


  • 目前成長率沒有想像這麼高,因此雲端仍需要更大之商機來驅動 ;
  • 政府必須將台灣通往全世界之海纜架設至成本效率最高;
  • 政府必須要有投資優惠在成立網際網路之商務及網際網路之雲端服務,才能使台灣成為亞太最重要之網際網路之雲端服務新創公司設立之總部,有利於世界營運;

谷歌整合服務 推新娛樂平台

谷歌(Google)周二推出改版服務Google Play,將應用程式、音樂、電子書、電影服務整合為一,成為Android裝置最新娛樂平台,意圖與蘋果App Store和iTunes互別苗頭。

     Google 數位內容主管羅生伯格( Jamie Rosenberg )表示,從今以後,Android Market(應用程式)、Google Music(音樂)和 Google eBookstore(電子書)都將成為Google Play的一部分。

     Google將 Google Play 打造為用戶一次購足的數位娛樂中心,讓用戶透過 Android 手機或平板電腦取得音樂、電影、書、應用程式。Google Play採用雲端技術,意即用戶購買或租賃的內容都儲存於網路。

     去年Google推出線上音樂商店Google Music服務,如今改版為Google Play的音樂區,用戶可以免費儲存最高2萬首歌曲,可購買數百萬首新歌,下載逾45萬個Android應用程式與遊戲,並可瀏覽電子書和租片子。

     Google表示,上周巴塞隆納舉行的世界行動通訊大會(MWC)預先展示予合作夥伴,當時即獲得廣大的正面迴響。

     Google Play與iTunes不同之處在於,前者以瀏覽器為基礎,而非單獨的軟體應用程式。

     Google即將展開7天優惠期,並表示未來幾天Android裝置上的應用程式將會被重新命名為Google Play Movies、Google Play Books、Google Play Music。

     Google指出,目前有逾45萬個Android應用程式和遊戲,數量為去年MWC大展時的3倍,同時也拉近與蘋果之間的差距,後者宣稱共有55萬個應用程式。





Google上8道大菜

Google每年最大的技術發表會「I/O開發者大會」將於本週登場,有別於往年,今年擴大舉辦,並且將八大產品線一字排開,準備向技術人員更新最新訊息。今年的亮點,除了Android、Chrome之外,還包括雲端平台、Google錢包等項目。

     Google I/O開發者大會將於美國時間6月27日到29日登場,有別於往年只有二天,今年增長為三天。今年所展示的重點項目,也多達8項,包括Android、Chrome、Cloud platform(雲端平台)、Google Drive、Google Maps、Commerce(商務)、Google+、Youtube等等。

     在I/O開發者大會開幕之前,已經有不少消息傳開,包括今年可能會發布Android作業系統的新版本Jelly Bean,以及推出Google Nexus系列平板電腦,還有Chromebook等硬體產品可能會在此場合亮相。

     除了兩大產品線之外,今年較特別的亮點為Google將對外說明雲端平台,還有Google Drive可能會提供離線功能的消息。另一方面,Google力推的電子錢包服務(Google Wallet)也會在此場合向開發者提供Api(應程式介面),Google希望可以研發人員可以讓數位產品使用Google電子錢包來消費。

     至於Google+預計要展示下一世代的社群網站。而Google Maps受到蘋果自行發展3D地圖的影響,Google能否端出更新的服務也令研發者期待。

     值得關注的是,Youtube服務今年也成為Google I/O大會的重點,根據議程表來看,Google將在此場合針對研發者發布行動Youtube的API(應用程式介面),希望內容創造者可以利用行動裝置上傳影像到Youtube。

     Google為了宣傳 I/O開發者大會,在Google Play商店中發布了Google I/O 2012 App應用程式供下載,讓使用者可即時掌握會議內容。而Android 3.0系統的裝置可以收看現場即時直播。


Google營收 Q2大增35% ( 2012/07/19)

    全球最大搜尋引擎Google公司受惠於併購摩托羅拉行動控股公司,加上更多網友點擊廣告,第2季營收大增35%,達122.1億美元。扣除部分項目後,每股獲利為10.12美元。Google上季付費廣告點擊量比去年同期暴增42%。該公司以125億美元併購摩托羅拉行動,合併作業今年5月完成。 Google 收購 AdMob Inc、Labpixies、Agnilux、Bump Technologies、Episodic、Android、Youtube 逐漸發生正面效益,手機廣告營收增加。


分析

  • Google play platform  ( 谷歌新娛樂平台 )是架在 Android Apps 提供給使用者下載之娛樂平台; 未來應該也會在 Chrome web store 上;
  • Google drive 整合 Google Docs 形成新局面;
  • 台廠因此增加實力與 Apple 對抗;目前 Apple iTune  實力仍遠大於 Google play ;
  • 台廠應結合 Amazon 及 Google play 來對抗 Apple iTune ;
  •  Google 收購 AdMob Inc、Labpixies、Agnilux、Bump Technologies、Episodic、Android、Youtube 逐漸發生正面效益,手機廣告營收增加。
