Dear all我不想抱怨，我也不想再重新像以前每個禮拜一樣貼欠文表但是大家過去一個禮拜誇張到了極點，放了一天的颱風假，兩天的周末很多人居然一篇都生不出來，大家看看這個表吧！！我這個已經要考試的人，還要一邊顧著大家是不是要一起進步當我為了大家去想辦法找一些可以練Litsening跟Speaking的同時你們為自己做了什麼？？9月24日 - 9月30日

Google bets on Android future
Google has made no secret of its ambitions in the mobile space. There are mobile versions of all its key services, such as search, e-mail and calendar.
But the company is going much further. At the end of 2007 it lifted the lid on Android, an open mobile operating system that is being used to power a new generation of devices under the Open Handset Alliance, a group which involves firms like HTC and chip designer ARM. Android is the creation of Andy Rubin, Google's director of mobile platforms.

Forests to Serve as Fire Sentinels
By harnessing the power of trees, scientists figure out a way to transform them into batteries capable of powering sensors.
Trees may be able to protect themselves from forest fires by serving as living batteries—housing small devices, which would measure temperature and humidity and broadcast the data from tree-to-tree.
Current Forest Service fire sensors are spread widely, and gaps in the network can miss localized temperature and humidity changes. Researchers at MIT have proposed a solution to those gaps—using the trees themselves to power a web of additional sensors. The scientists, a group of students and teachers from MIT’s Center for Biomedical Engineering, figured out that trees carry an electric charge due to a difference in acidity between the tree and the soil it sits in.
Batteries need to be replaced, but trees don’t, meaning the network would sustain itself, saving costs to maintain and recharge sensors and allowing for a much larger and more sensitive monitoring grid. The group's results were published in the journal PLoS ONE, and they’ve already started a commercial company to develop the sensors that can harness that tree-power. According to their commercial website, they’ve developed a converter to power these weather sensors, which “parasitically harvests metabolic energy from any large plant without significantly harming it.” They plan to test the network this spring.
