Google's Schmidt dings Bing
Google CEO Eric Schmidt, as one might expect, offered no public sense that Microsoft's new Bing search engine has him pacing the halls at night.
"I need street names and patience," Cory Booker told one worried tweeter as up to 80 centimeters of snow trapped many New Jersey residents in their homes.
厚達80公分的積雪把許多新澤西州居民困在家中，布克市長在推特上向一名憂心的推友表示，「我需要街道名稱和耐心。」

Google’s first online outburst against its Chinese hosts was a stern and high-minded rebuke of state censorship. Over 765 words, chief legal officer David Drummond railed against online attacks and their “security and human rights implications”. The second, two months later in March, was shorter (510 words) and more conciliatory. The third, posted last night, was shorter still (368) and outright deferential. At this rate, Google will be posting news of its exit with a few “lol”s and a smiley on Twitter.
首次在网上向中国政府发难时，谷歌(Google)对互联 网审查制度作了严厉而高傲的 诘责。在全长765个字的声明中，谷歌首席法律顾问庄孟德(David Drummond)严词抨击了网络攻击行为及其“对安全和人权问题上的影响”。两个月后，也就是在3月份，谷歌发表了第二篇相关声明，这次篇幅缩短到 510字，语气也和缓了许多。至于昨晚发表的第三篇文章就更短了，只有368字，而语气竟十分地恭顺。照这样下去，有一天谷歌就会在推特 (Twitter)上用若干个“lol”（大笑）和笑脸符来发布其彻底退出中国的消息。

There is an immediacy about Charles Dickens's life, just as there is about his novels—a kind of bursting physicality. “If I couldn't walk fast and far,” he once said, “I think I should explode and perish”
