施大爷称Google、Apple、Amazon和Facebook是 “新四大金刚”

  每个年代都可在技术领域找出四个引领技术和创新的公司,上世纪90年代是微软、Intel、Cisco和Dell,而当今的新“四大金刚”则是Google、Apple、Amazon 和 Facebook──这是施大爷(Eric Schmidt)在接受D9采访的时候总结出来的。

  施大爷说这新四大金刚加在一起的市值超过5千亿美元,他们都拥有自己的平台,并都在利用自己的力量杯葛到之前一家独大的微软,而微软却没有驱动起消费的变革(尽管他们在企业市场做的还不错)。

  四大金刚的业务重点都有所不同,Google是搜索,Facebook是社交,Amazon是商业,Apple是设备(Apple明明是艺术圈的嘛,说Apple是卖设备的好像跟Dell没区别了,乔帮主情何以堪)。尽管Google和Apple之间有不少摩擦,但Google也给众多支持者吃了一颗定心丸,表示他们刚刚跟Apple续签了地图和搜索的合作协议。

  对于Facebook,施大爷说Facebook做了不少让他敬佩的事情,很多年来他都说Google错过了一些的东西,也就是身份识别。Facebook是第一代的跨网络的识别系统。但施大爷则坚称业界还需要另外一个识别系统。最后施大爷表示Google即将发布的社交产品目的是让自己的产品变得更好,而不是仅仅为了对抗Facebook。

Now everybody heard of Amazon.com. What not everybody knows that Amazon released an API to access its huge catalogs. What this basically means is that each developer can access the information from Amazon following some simple protocols and every site owner can enhance his own website with content and features from Amazon. The Amazon API comes as a simple Webservice. Here are the first Web services that they have exposed: - Product Display : The ability to search for and retrieve product information from the Amazon.com catalog. - Shopping Cart : The ability to add Amazon.com products to shopping carts, wish lists, and registries from third party locations. No matter of your intentions, you will first need to register and obtain a valid developer token. You can get your token here at this address: http://www.amazon.com/webservices The current listed implementation of Amazon webservices uses Keyword searches. It has basically the same results as searching the books catalog online. As any developer/webmaster can see in the "Amazon.com Web Services Developers Kit v 1.0" document, a lot of other Amazon features are exposed. This would imply extending the base structure I present here. There are multiple approaches from a developer's point of view. The simplest one deals with SOAP and web services classes already implemented in PHP. You could also extend the PEAR's XMLParser object to parse Amazon results. The reason I did not choose these directions is because they require additional extensions installed with PHP. What I currently use is the XML parsing package that comes embedded in PHP, so it is slightly more general. What basically happens in this implementation is that the search word entered by the used is embedded into a XML url that is then retrieved from Amazon.com. Then PHP builds a nice display for the information received. I should let the code talk for itself. Here is the main controller, with a small search form for Amazon: http://www.php9.com/php/source/amazon.phps As you see, the actual code is very small. Then here is the class used in the controller to parse the XML returned by Amazon. http://www.php9.com/php/source/amazon_class.phps Then the configuration file. I need to remember you that you need to change the DEVELOPER_TOKEN constant with the one you will obtain from Amazon. The current license key belongs to me. http://www.php9.com/php/source/amazon_config.phps And here is the layout template used to build the output from the XML document retrieved from Amazon. It is parsed every time a book record is retrieved, so the output rendering is the fastest possible. http://www.php9.com/php/source/amazon_layout.phps Here you have the full package zipped. http://www.php9.com/php/source/amazon.zip And of course a demo: http://www.php9.com/amazon.php Feel free to use it and improve. I am open to suggestions
