好奇心殺死貓?!

「Curiosity killed the cat」好奇心殺死貓,是英語中的一句諺語。意指好奇心重,會帶來傷害。

我未曾養過貓,不知道好奇心會怎樣殺死一隻貓。但我相信沒有好奇心,倒會殺死一間 startup。

無論是 James Cameron 在早前的 TED Talk,還是 Randy Pausch 在當年的 The Last Lecture,都有提及過好奇心的重要。當年,Galileo 因為好奇心,把望遠鏡向天一望,發現了金星盈虧,從而引證了地心說才是正確。Marie Curie 也因為好奇心,才發現了兩種新的放射性元素。

好奇心就是每事問,凡事「問點解」。對我來說,好奇心是一間 startup 的原動力。你有沒有想過,「為什麼 Google 單單賣廣告,也可以賺這麼多錢?」「為什麼 Happy Farm 那麼多人玩?」,簡單一個為什麼,卻迫使一間 startup 努力找尋原因答案。也是一個為什麼,才會有 Hotmail、YouTube、Flickr、TiVo 等東西出現。

要養成好奇心其實不難,多留意身邊的事物就好。一些好像很普通、很理所當然的東西,大家會習以為常的忽視。多加留意,想一想為什麼會這樣,可能會找到一個解答,亦有可能,發掘了一個新的方法,成為另一個 Google。

Extensions make Google Chrome failed the Acid3 Test

Google Chrome 上的擴充功能導致瀏覽器本身渲染錯誤!

This is an unacceptable problem!

I found that some extensions will affect the Google Chrome rendering result. I did a simple test, open the Acid3 Test in both normal and Incognito mode. You can't believe that Chrome failed the test in normal mode, but it should able to pass it! It got 100/100 in Incognito windows, but there is a link test error.
