【伦敦少年课余时间开发出畅销APP】

    Summly是一个手机应用程序,其主要功能为提供最新新闻摘要。在苹果线上商店推出短短两小时后,就达到了下载排行榜第九名。
    Summly,是由十七岁的伦敦少年Nick D'Aloisio设计的,通过本软件,Nick D'Aloisio从投资商手中获得了至少100万美元的资金。其软件支持者中有Stephen Fry,科技城总裁Joanna Shields,新闻集团总裁默多克等。
    然而,Summly推出前却不被苹果店审查人员看好,审查员Oliver Devereux写到:“软件的导航十分不清楚。”另外一个审查员则认为“很不直观。”
    但是该程序在用户评分区域平均得分为4分,不过从软件与用户群整体来看,还是有十分有可能获得5分满分。
    Nick D'Aloisio在课余时间萌发了这一想法,做一种手机应用软件可以自动集合新闻摘要。软件是免费的,界面上有许多新闻摘要,当用户手机扫过某项时,他们就可以查看更多相关内容。
    Nick D'Aloisio告诉英国广播公司:“我们努力让软件在iPhone上的界面更加美观。我们把精妙的算法和美观的界面合并在一起,让它可以在1分钟内扫描数千文章。”

“大视野”
    Nick D'Aloisio在他17岁的生日晚会上,任命Bart Swanson主持Summly背后的公司运营, Bart曾经负责在欧洲推出AMAZON零售店。
    Nick D'Aloisio表示:“我认为公司从长远角度来说十分有可能成为大公司。我们把新闻主要内容保留,删减部分内容,因为人们不希望看1000字的文章,他们更希望看到简单精准的信息。”
    用户可以支付小额费用,用于看完整的文章内容。
    Nick D'Aloisio说:“传统发行商被支付系统所局限,他们要么给出标题要么给出全文,而我们真的可以在摘要这个层次盈利。”
    Nick D'Aloisio希望可以继续完成学业然后上大学,但是也继续经营公司。
    “我会留在公司,因为我是创始人,我希望能看见以后公司能有大的发展。”

  1. One red princeling Hu Shiying posted a photo of a private gathering of China's red princelings, in which a infamous red guard Song Yaowu appeared.

    The party was hosted by Xi Jinping, then CCP Party Boss in Zhejiang Province. Others appeared in this photo includes Bo Xicheng (son of Bo Yibo and brother of Bo Xilai), Liu Yuan (son of Liu Shaoqi), Wang Qishan (son in law of Yao Yilin), Yang Li (daughter of Yang Shangkun), Chen Yuan (son of Chen Yun) among others. Song Yaowu is the women 4th from left in the front. Xi Jinping is 3rd from right in the second row.

    Song, together with another Red Guard Deng Rong (daughter of Deng Xiaoping), killed their teacher Bian Zhongyun, the first teacher to be killed by students in the Great Cultural Revolution. The incident opened an era when red guards across the country were mobilized to take over schools by violence. Many more teachers would be tortured and killed in the next few years.

    One of those from whom Hu Jie got evidence was another teacher at the school, Lin Mang.In the film Lin states that the Red Guards beat Bian Zhongyun in a toilet room. He described one of the perpetrators as a tall, thin girl. Lin also stated in the film that Red Guards forced him to carry Bian's body after her murder.

    Based upon subsequent additional credible evidence received,the tall, thin girl who Lin saw beating Bian was Liu Tingting, daughter of Liu Shaoqi, the president of China.
