手指PC

早前台灣聯強推出 Lemel 超迷你電腦棒,細小機身內含 Intel Atom Bay Trail 處理器及 Windows 8.1 系統令人驚艷。不過來自中國的山寨廠商也不甘後人,有公司推出近似的 Dongle mini PC ,還標榜對應 Windows 8.1 、 Android 系統。


新登場的 Dongle mini PC 品牌名為 MeeGoPad ,產品型號則為 MEEGO-T01 。據該廠於阿里巴巴產品頁面上介紹, MEEGO-T01 配備 Intel Atom Z3735F/G 處理器,提供 1GB 或 2GB 記憶體版本,配 16GB 或 32GB 儲存和內建 802.11b/g/n 、 Bluetooth 4.0 無線網絡。

GIGABYTE BRIX 換 Intel 第五代 Core 處理器

GIGABYTE BRIX


Intel 推出第五代行動版 Core 處理器之後,筆電廠商紛紛跟進,推出採用這代號 Broadwell 的新產品。此外,基於 UCFF 架構設計的類 NUC 超迷你電腦,除了 Intel 還有技嘉也相繼換裝新平台。技嘉近期將於國外市場,陸續開賣新版 BRIX 超迷你電腦,近期有意購買的人可得多加留意!


過去兩年左右的時間,Intel 所帶動 NUC 超迷你電腦風潮,讓依循此 UCFF(Ultra Compact Form Factor)架構設計產品的廠商也嘗到了甜頭,樂於一同拱大市場需求這塊餅。採用 UCFF 架構設計的電腦,效能與功能性已經能滿足一般人的應用需求,而且小巧機身普遍擁有精緻外觀處理,能甩開傳統主機龐大且占空間的擾人問題。


其中產品線陣容最壯大的技嘉,台灣銷售產品才剛於去年底換裝 Intel 第四代 Core 處理器,但是技嘉緊接在 CES 展出裝配第五代 Core 處理器的新機型,國外市場將於近期內陸續上市開賣。在技嘉國外官網可以看到,當前已經上線的 BRIX 新機型,包含 BRIX GB-BXi7-5500、BRIX s GB-BXi5H-5200、BRIX s GB-BXi3H-5010 等 3 款。

Dropbox new sharing extension - iOS 8

Dropbox for iPhone and iPad users is getting a lot more powerful today as the latest version includes a new action extension for iOS 8. This allows you to save information from various apps to Dropbox on iOS without having to open the cloud-syncing app.


For example, you can send photos directly to Dropbox from the iOS Photos app making uploading images to the cloud service much easier than before. You can also use the new action extension to save text files to Dropbox but entries you create in the iOS Notes app. For files you come across on the web like PDFs from websites, the “Open In…” action will now include Dropbox as well creating a more desktop-like experience.


To take advantage of the new action extension for iOS 8, make sure you have the latest version of Dropbox installed, version 3.7, and activate the action extension.


To make the process easy, open an image in the Photos app and tap the share button (an upward arrow) then scroll to the far right of the bottom row of gray actions. Next, tap more (…) and look for “Save to Dropbox” as an activity. Toggle the switch on and drag the action to where you would like to save it.


The iOS 8 Dropbox share extension should now appear in any app that Dropbox supports including Photos, Notes, files in Safari, and more. In addition to the new share extension, Dropbox already supports a number of other iOS 8-specific features including Touch ID authenticating and iCloud Drive.

Free up space on your iPhone or iPad - PhoneExpander

How to use PhoneExpander to free up space


PhoneExpander is currently available only for Mac. The developer plans to develop a Windows version in the future, but they’re currently focussing on the Mac version. PhoneExpander officially supports iOS 7 or later, though the developer has tested it successfully on older iOS versions as well (iOS 5.1.1 or later).


  • Download PhoneExpander using this direct link on your Mac.

  • Unzip the zip file, copy the app to the Applications folder, and launch the app.

  • Connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your Mac. PhoneExpander will give you a “iPhone connected” confirmation message. It should also tell you how full your device is, and give you options to the following tools: Clear Temporary files, Remove Apps and Clear Photos.

phoneexpander-home-screen


Clear Temporary Files


Temporary files are cache files that are stored locally by the apps to launch the app faster, which tends to take up quite a bit of storage space over time. The good news is, it is quite safe to delete the temporary files. PhoneExpander gives you a very easy way to clear temporary files. It is important to note here that it does not delete login information, your settings etc.


  • Click on the Clear Temporary Files button.

  • PhoneExpander will display the list of apps along with the amount of storage space taken up by temporary files by each app. It will also show you how much storage space can be freed up if temporary files are deleted from all the apps.

phoneexpander-clear-temporary-files


  • By default PhoneExpander will select all the apps. You can deselect the check box next to the ones you don’t want to clear. To be on the safe side, I deselected apps like Google Authenticator etc.

  • Then click on the Clear button to delete the temporary files. After it has finished deleting the files, it will you give you a message informing you how much storage space has been freed up. The process doesn’t take too long, but would depend on how much storage space you’re trying to clear. PhoneExpander took just 2-3 minutes to free up 2GB storage space on my iPhone 6 Plus.

Remove Apps


One of the easiest ways to free up storage space is to remove unused apps especially games. PhoneExpander makes it extremely easy to delete unwanted apps from your iOS device. Please note that all the app related data such as game data that is not stored in iCloud will also be deleted when you delete the app.


Here’s how to remove apps:


  • Click on the Remove Apps button.

  • Then click on the check box next to the app you want to delete, and click on the Remove button.

phoneexpander-remove-apps


I was able to free up 3 GB by removing 23 unwanted apps from my iPhone 6 Plus. You can delete the apps manually on the device itself, but it is a lot more convenient to do it using PhoneExpander as you don’t have to keep tapping on the confirmation dialogue boxes for each app. You just need to click on the delete button, and it will delete all the unwanted apps.


Take Backup and Clear Photos & Videos


Photos and videos probably end up taking the most storage on my device. PhoneExpander offers a nifty option where you can take a backup of all the photos and videos on your device that are older than a few weeks, months or years, and delete them from your device to free up storage space.


  • Click on the Clear Photos button.

  • You can choose to backup and remove photos or videos or both by selecting the appropriate option. You can also select the folder where you want the photos and videos to be backed up on your Mac.

phoneexpander-backupremove-photosvideos


  • You can then drag the slider to remove files older than a few days, weeks, months or year. PhoneExpander will tell you how much storage space will be freed on the Backup & Remove button depending on the duration you select.

  • Click on the Backup & Remove Files button. PhoneExpander will create a folder on your desktop or whichever folder you had selected, backup the photos and videos, and then delete it from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

​小米進攻美國 - Miband

小米的超高性價比手機產品不僅亞洲區,連歐美不少人都對其趨之若鶩(應該啦…),可惜他們都未能進入該市場。而今天,小米終於在一場舉行在三藩市的傳媒聚會上,由公司吉祥物國際副總裁 Hugo Barra 宣布他們會在美國開設網上商店,並售賣一系列小米配件,包括小米手環、小米電源和跟隨小米 Note 一同發佈的小米頭戴式耳機。而最重要的手機和平版呢?Bara 稱未有計劃。



不過小米和 Bara 都沒有說「永遠」不會上市,估計是因為其手機、平版電腦產品有太多潛在法律問題還沒有解決,而且其硬體和 MIUI 也需要調整至適合美國人的使用習慣。也許先把配件上市是小米想在美國市場試試水溫,為其他產品的登陸作預備吧。不過在解決以上問題之後,小編預計小米原來的性價比優勢會因為成本上漲而變得盪然無存了。

Tago E-ink bracelet "can change designs"

Tago-Arc-E-Ink-Smart-Bracelet

Tago-Arc-E-Ink-Smart-Bracelet


A new smart bracelet called Tago Arc can’t notify you of incoming messages or monitoryour activities, but it has already raised more than its $40,000 goal on Indiegogo. Why? Because it has the potential to become a high-tech fashionista’s best friend, provided it works flawlessly. See, you can easily swap the design on the Tago Arc’s e-ink screen, and since that screen takes up most of the accessory, you’re effectively changing the jewelry’s whole look. If you’re wondering, yes you can create your own designs to come up with a unique bracelet for each outfit, but you can also buy images from the accompanying app for around $1 a pop.


You’ll need to use an NFC-enabled Android phone to transfer each image, though, and iPhones are a no-go for now, since their NFCs are still locked to Apple Pay. The device also absorbs any power it needs via NFC while linked to your phone, and since it has no other features and uses a low-power e-ink screen, it doesn’t need batteries to work. At the moment, it still takes quite some time (15 seconds or so) to transfer a picture, but the Tago Arc team is working to make the process faster before the first devices ship out to backers in December.

Windows 10 Mobile Preview

Windows-Phone-10


Been jonesing to see what Windows 10 looks like on smaller screens? You now have your chance. Microsoft has just released a Technical Preview of the new OS for smartphones. This extra-early version won’t include the next-gen Spartan browser and still has a lot of unfinished elements, but it’ll give you a good sneak peek at Action Center upgrades, across-the-board voice dictation support and the better photo browser. Future test builds will also bring the much-improved Calendar and Mail apps, unified messaging and phone versions of universal Office apps.


With that said, don’t be surprised if you have to sit out this initial release. Joining theWindows Insider Program is easy, but the preview works only on the Lumia 630 series, the Lumia 730 (not the 735) and the Lumia 830. Unfortunately, Microsoft has to tweak the update process before you can experiment on higher-end gear like the Lumia Icon. If you’re part of that lucky qualifying bunch and don’t mind dealing with bugs, though, there’s nothing holding you back.

小米大未來—大數據下的智能營銷

2015年來了,做營銷的朋友們想必很關注在新的一年裡數碼營銷會朝什麼方向發展。未來的趨勢究竟在哪裡?


馬雲卸任阿里巴巴告別演講時說:「大家還沒搞清PC時代的時候,移動互聯網來了,現在還沒搞清移動互聯網的時候,大數據時代已到臨。」


我們不得不承認已逐漸步入了物聯網(Internet of Things)世紀,營銷與商業的重心正轉向消費者一方主導,而不斷膨脹且錯縱複雜又彼此連結的物聯網世界則為企業帶來了一個前所未有的黃金機會——一個三百六十度能收集消費者的即時數據並獲知相關insight的寶庫。


品牌透過物聯網收集消費者處身在現實世界的行為數據後,除了可藉此提昇自身的商業表現外,同時又能充分利用大數據帶來的機遇為消費者們提供更為貼心、更個性化的用家體驗與服務。


小米1


 


就在剛剛過去的12月,小米出奇不意地以12.66億元入股中國家電製造商美的集團,並發佈推出了旗下米智能家族的新成員——小米空氣淨化器。普羅大眾可能只覺得多一個不錯的家居電器品牌選擇,暫時並不會有什麼特別的聯想。不過,你有沒有仔細考量小米為何要大膽地走出這跨移動領域的第一步?這部空氣淨化器背後能採集到的家居生活即時數據(包括空氣質素和家居大細等資料)可意味著什麼戰略考慮?試想如果小米已將這一方面數據與小米手環,路由器或者其他小米智能裝置提供的所有用戶個人健康及家居生活的數據一一結合起來,又能產生什麼奇妙的化學作用呢?平安保險對自身大數據未來應用的戰略部署,您或許能推敲出小米的大未來!


小米2


在一些人蘋果粉絲眼中的小米是一間不值一提,以抄襲為生,產品鬥平取勝的中國民企。但在我眼中,雷軍帶領的小米在中國在可見將來都沒有完善私隱政策的保障下,正昂首挺進一個蘋果也未走進的領域——硬體、軟體、服務、社群與大數據應用的完美結合。它們以超平價錢販售硬體的方法,是打垮傳統競爭對手的第一箸。現在大部分傳統日本電器生產商也還未搞清跨領域對手打什麼鬼主意,更未意識到小米的十年部署!小米以超平價提供新一代智能產品,又慣性地要求用戶配合,將其智能電器連結上家中的路由器再配上小米專屬的APP,背後其實就是它可以全天候採集並儲存其每一個小米用家(又稱米粉)的日常生活習慣數據,在已漸趨發展成熟的大數據科技支援下,您不難想像往後數年小米可能更進一步推出一系列令您和市場意想不到的訂閱式月費服務(如醫療檢查、保險、食品訂購等),那時它的盈利將更為驚人。


小米3


 


雷軍的精心部署讓我有理由相信小米正在打造一個完整的小米生態鏈,連結用戶個人以及其家庭線上線下所有生活的一切。在1月15日的小米新品發佈會上,小米除了推出最新旗艦產品小米Note外,更發佈了定價為22元的通用智能模塊,雷布斯更同時首度詮釋了小米在生態鏈、在智能家居領域的中心思路,即是以手機為中心連接所有智能設備方向。智能模塊的目的是與智能平台掛鉤,實現小米智能家居的構想。安裝智能模塊後,傳統家電產品將通過手機APP,實現連接與控制功能,從而搖身一變成為智能設備。如果接下來小米推出根據米粉飲食習慣而提供個人化菜譜的智能雪櫃和個人化口味的智能咖啡機,我也不應該感到意外。


您很可能質疑小米最終會否成功。但小米手環與健康的結合已是一個很好的開始。小米手環能夠追蹤米粉的行走或跑步距離,並將其發佈到社交網站上,的確是項了不起的功能。而真正的突破即將來臨,到那時,資訊不僅會被儲存下來,還能以真正有意義的方式關聯起來,從而在分享數據的基礎上帶來更多附加價值。


 


小米4


 


 


小米手環即將迅速成為我們的日常健康監控器。例如,這裝置可以監測用戶的心率、建立活動形態、睡眠情況、診斷潛在異常(甚至心臟病)。一旦出現問題,便可及時提醒使用者。小米手環還能追蹤病人的狀態,方便醫生通過持續的監控獲取大量資訊。試想:如果我給你一台能精確預測你患癌症概率的裝置(須知中國人因環境污染將會成為全世界患癌機率最高的一個族群之一),並有機會挽救你的生命,你會拒絕使用嗎?


Soreon Research預計,借助物聯網和大數據分析能力,可穿戴智能裝置將在2020年挽救100多萬人的生命。數據對企業也大有裨益,因為這將成為在短期內把可穿戴裝置市場規模做大到數百億美元的關鍵推動因素之一。


談到數據在Digital Marketing領域的運用,相信時至今日香港許多企業已經擁有大量原始數據在手。然而,想真正利用好數據為營銷所用,我們第一步應是從原始數據中篩選出相關有用的數據。在digital marketing方面,關聯度最高的有用數據包括客戶數據、社交媒體數據、市場數據,過往消費數據及位置數據等等,一切都可能以文字、音頻、圖像或者影片形式存在。接下來的難題是營銷人員怎樣通過數據整理和數據模組提取出優質數據,並運用先進的分析技術,比如深度學習(Deep Learning),獲知數據見解,建成一個360度的客戶資料庫,以幫助公司做出更好的營銷規劃將是一項重要挑戰。


我的信念是以科技為驅動力,同創意相互結合,企業以客戶為中心,以人為本的的市場營銷方向將會是未來五年營銷的大未來。在Fimmick,我們稱之為SMART marketing—智能營銷,即融合社交媒體、移動趨勢、分析能力、客戶關係管理和科技結為一體的營銷策略
