Google会不会做操作系统?"


vagabond2006010401.jpg

一上班,就看新浪和网易都登出消息:Google要发布自己的操作系统。随便摘一段:

Google正与沃尔玛及其它零售商商谈,以推出一款名为Google PC的家用电脑。该机器将运行Google开发的操作系统,而不是微软的Windows。也正因为如此,该产品的售价不高,最低可能只有两百美元左右。

这则消息,还真让我一通好找,在一些关于Google的blog上并未得见,而登陆LA Times又慢的惊人。最后,它在这里

其中有这么几段:


Sources say Google has been in negotiations with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., among other retailers, to sell a Google PC. The machine would run an operating system created by Google, not Microsoft's Windows, which is one reason it would be so cheap — perhaps as little as a couple of hundred dollars.

Bear Stearns analysts speculated in a research report last month that consumers would soon see something called "Google Cubes" — a small hardware box that could allow users to move songs, videos and other digital files between their computers and TV sets.

Larry Page, Google's co-founder and president of products, will give a keynote address Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Analysts suspect that Page will use the opportunity either to show off a Google computing device or announce a partnership with a big retailer to sell such a machine.

这事儿,的确让人摸不着头脑,Google做电脑,目的是什么?就是为了让更多人用它的搜索功能?

如果是这样,这个成本可谓昂贵。

但,这个事儿,你又没法不信。早在2003年12月,有一天晚上Bill Gates在Google的网站上随意浏览,突然看到一个让他无比惊讶的页面:在招聘页面中,Google列举了许多开放的任务,而很多招聘条件跟微软的几乎一样。集中在操作系统设计、编译器优化、分布式系统结构设计——这些技术当然是指向操作系统的。

"我们必须观察这些家伙,看上去他们在做些能跟我们竞争的东西",盖茨这么跟自己说,也这么跟Fortune的Fred Vogelstein说。

毫无疑问,这个酝酿了有两年的事情,最近一定应该有些结果了。

毫无疑问,那将是一个简单、易用、低价、高度开放性的产品。

毫无疑问,紧张的不会只有Gates,还有苹果和Dell。

找到一个可以替代ghs.google.com的地址

用Goole Blogger的自定义域名功能需要用到 ghs.google.com 做CNAME,或者用ping ghs.google.com 得出的IP做一个A记录.但是,伟大的GFW已经把 ghs.google.com 和部分IP屏蔽在大陆之外.这样的壮举使得我们的自定义域名不能正常访问,或者让你的网页背景.图片被滤掉,精心做成的模板变得惨白不堪. 那么,我们可不可以找一个替代 ghs.google.com 的地址呢?当然能.因为Google是强大的.它有许多有用的IP地址让你去探寻. 对 ghs.google.com 分析研究后发现, ghs.google.com 这台服务器并没有提供实质性的服务,而只是选择访问者访问最快的服务器(Google全球性公司,很多地区都有服务器).我们只要找到其他服务器的IP地址,并且这个IP地址没被屏蔽,那么就成了. 寻找这样的IP地址需要用到tracert命令.即在CMD模式下输入:tracert ghs.google.com ,在已经屏蔽的当下,最后自然得不出结果,这就需要我们使用代理了.使用不同地区的代理运行tracert ghs.google.com 命令. tracert ghs.google.com 的最后一跳会有类似这样的域名: eh-in-f121.google.com 如果在不用代理的情况下,你能ping通这个域名,那么恭喜你,你找到了!现在就可以用这个域名代替 ghs.google.com 设置你的CNAME了,ping出的IP地址可以做A记录,CNAME和A记录,只做其中之一就可以. hs-in-f121.google.com 64.233.179.121 eh-in-f121.google.com 72.14.207.121 bx-in-f121.google.com 66.249.81.121 ik-in-f121.google.com 66.249.91.121 这4个在我所在地区不能使用,而可以使用 tw-in-f121.google.com 72.14.235.121 或者209.85.171.121也可用 下面是一些不断更新的:74.125.43.121 除了使用代理来寻找,也可以通过一些网站提供的功能来寻找这个地址,很方便,就是使用网站提供的Traceroute.这些网站有: h...
