Facebook在法國測試新功能"消失的訊息"，此功能可以讓訊息在發送的一個小時後消失，說真的就很像Line上的限時聊天。
可以保護讓一些比較私密的內容部會留下紀錄。這樣子的功能在很多的通訊軟體上都已經有了，讓小編比較在意的事情是，這個功能只有在手機上的Messenger可以用嗎?還是連網頁版的聊天室也可以辦到呢?其他通訊軟體的電腦版都無法使用類似的功能。如果在未來網頁版聊天室也辦的到的話，小編真的還蠻期待這個新功能的!
雖然目前只有在法國做測試而已，但Facebook表示，這個功能可能會在近期推出。有粉絲希望擁有這個功能嗎?

Google有Android，Apple有iOS，Window有Windows 10，現在火狐也有自己的OS了!名為:FirefoxOS
但是台灣都還沒有FirefoxOS的手機上市，如果你只是想嘗鮮看看，Firefox提供了安卓版的FirefoxOS試用版!這裡是網址:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/os/2.5/
小編當然是下載來看看，覺得沒有特別好用，很簡約很大方，比Window的Arrow還簡約，這個也是FirefoxOS所強調的特色，
它貌似不單單只是介面而已，有點像是一個模擬器，FirefoxOS自身的Marketplace在裡面也有，而且可以直接下載APP來使用，並且再回到原本的安卓系統後並不會出現。有一個小小讓小編好奇的地方，鎖屏的畫面怎麼沒有跟著改變呢?
但這個APK對手機的要求好像不小，小編拿自己低階手機Sony E3是跑不動的，所以只好去借之後要評測的OPPO R7plus，果然可以使用!

November 16, 2015, Taipei, Taiwan – AccelStor, the software-defined all-flash array provider, announces its attendance at SC15, the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis. From November 16th to 19th, 2015 in Austin, Texas, AccelStor will be at booth 2209 in the Austin Convention Center showcasing its 1U model, NeoSapphire 3505, and 2U model, NeoSapphire 3413, and demonstrating HPC storage acceleration using all-flash arrays. In addition to its main exhibit, AccelStor's Vice President of Research and Development, Dr. Weafon Tsao, is holding a speech session on Thursday, November 19th at the Exhibitor Forum to debunk common myths surrounding all-flash storage and introduce AccelStor's software-defined approach to flash acceleration.
All-flash arrays represent the pinnacle of storage performance and at SC15 AccelStor is showcasing some of its highest performing models for accelerating HPC application performance. The NeoSapphire 3505 packs over 500K sustained IOPS for 4KB random writes into a rack-space saving 1U form factor. With the high-speed 56Gb/s InfiniBand FDR connectivity, the NeoSapphire 3505 has the throughput and response time to meet the demands of higher performance computing. AccelStor also has on hand the 2U NeoSapphire 3413, an over 600K sustained IOPS flash appliance with 13TB usable capacity for higher capacity flash storage needs over mainstream 10GbE network interfaces.
As compute and memory performance increases, storage performance increasingly becomes the bottleneck in modern HPC applications. At booth 2209, AccelStor is showing a live demonstration of a typical highly parallel, large-footprint HPC application connected to NeoSapphire 3505 all-flash storage.
Running a dozen of concurrent, heavy-loaded pathfinding applications using the well-known A* algorithm, AccelStor demonstrates how the sustained IOPS performance of its NeoSapphire 3505 all-flash array can accelerate this typical graph-searching problem commonly seen in HPC applications. It is not unusual for HPC applications to grow into large footprints, where the working set grows beyond the capacity of volatile memory stores during intensive computation. In these cases, excessive swap operations to persistent storage reduces computational efficiency of the HPC application. With a native high-speed InfiniBand FDR 56Gb/s network interface and a usable capacity of 5TB, NeoSapphire 3505 offers an affordable storage solution that greatly improves the efficiency of HPC applications while reducing total cost of ownership.
At SC15, AccelStor is demonstrating NoeSapphire 3413, a 2U all-flash array which can provide the sustained random IOPS performance of over 600K IOPS on average in extended-hour stress tests. All NeoSapphire all-flash arrays need to pass extended-hour stress tests and in these tests the NeoSapphire 3413 has shown performance of 630K IOPS for 4K random writes over a 24-hour period. Real-world HPC applications need more than high peak performance. As flash appliances often provide high-speed, shared storage services to multiple front-end compute nodes, high sustained IOPS is the real driver in flash storage performance for I/O-intensive HPC applications.
At the Exhibitor Forum, AccelStor's Vice President of Research and Development, Dr. Weafon Tsao, is giving a presentation, "Building a High IOPS Flash Array: A Software-Defined Approach," debunking a number of myths surrounding flash storage performance and giving insight into the technology behind AccelStor's NeoSapphire all-flash arrays. Dr. Tsao's speech will be given at 11:30am on Thursday. November 19th at room 12AB.
AccelStor is accelerating the paradigm shift from traditional disk arrays to modern all-flash storage. AccelStor’s NeoSapphire series all-flash arrays, powered by FlexiRemap technology, deliver sustained high IOPS to business-critical applications. With standard rack-mount form factors, streamlined storage management, multi-protocol support, as well as front-accessible and hot-swappable drives, NeoSapphire promises to resolve the performance bottleneck for I/O-intensive applications like VDI, HPC, database, and video-processing applications.

上周的"2G Tuesday"，目的就是要讓Facebook員工體驗在新興國家(如印度)的網路狀況。
這周，Facebook開始要求員工使用安卓的裝置，Facebook高層表示這個舉動可以幫助員工更了解新興市場。的確安卓智慧型手機在價錢上面取得不小優勢，新興國家的確會有很多人因為價錢的關係而使用安卓智慧型裝置，且安卓有著相當高的市占率。但由於安卓行動裝置款式眾多，截至去年年底就有高達18796種不同的安卓裝置，每款安卓裝置的規格也有所不同，這有造成部分的安卓手機使用Facebook App會有閃退的問題。這也是為何Facebook希望員工使用安卓的原因，此舉有助於設計人員更加強化Facebook在安卓上的設計。
由近期兩個Facebook內部活動看來，Facebook為了新興國家下了不少的心力。希望這個投資所產生出來的附加效益是讓每個使用者擁有更好、更棒的FaceBook，如果真的成真，這不就是一個雙贏的局面嗎?

November 10, 2015 – Fremont, USA – Flip Chip Opto, announces the Apollo 1200 Chip On Board (COB), a high performance LED module. Based on Flip Chip Opto’s patented 3-Pad LED Flip Chip and Pillar MCPCB technologies, both junction temperature and thermal decay are minimized due to its extremely low 0.006°C/W thermal resistance, allowing over 120,000 lumens to be emitted from a single LED COB module. The new Apollo 1200 high performance COB modules enable energy-efficient LED technology to replace metal halide lamps in extremely high power lighting applications such as high mast, stadium lighting, airport and shipping terminal lighting, maritime lighting, and more.
Flip Chip Opto's patented 3-Pad Flip Chip and Pillar MCPCB technologies enable Apollo 1200 to perform high power lighting with extremely low thermal resistance. Unlike conventional LED modules that must dissipate LED heat through MCPCB’s thermal-resistant dielectric layer, Flip Chip Opto’s 3-Pad technology creates an extra thermal pad beside two electrode pads, and uses it to couple the heat directly from LED into the metal core of the underlying MCPCB. This innovation results in incredibly low thermal resistance that enables the feasibility of brighter output, less thermal decay, longer service life, and the coordination with smaller heatsink.
The incredible thermal performance allows the Apollo 1200 to achieve the lumen output between 107,080 and 121,680 lumens at 1200 Watt depending on the choice of color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI). Such unparalleled brightness from a single LED COB enables LED lighting to penetrate into the high power/wattage market including applications such as high mast lighting, stadium lighting, airport and shipping terminal lighting, maritime lighting and more.
Lower thermal resistance presented by the 3-Pad technology not only minimizes the thermal decay but also boosts the brightness by allowing more driving current while still maintaining LED junction temperature (Tj) below its thermal threshold. Compared to conventional wire-bonded COBs, Apollo 1200 of 3-Pad technology is able to sustain higher driving current with minimal Tj increase, and therefore produce more light under the same Tj restriction. Meanwhile, lower thermal resistance also exhibits the opportunity to coordinate with a smaller heatsink that represents less cost in material and shipping/handling.
Apollo 1200 is manufactured with a Light Emitting Surface (LES) of 90mm to generate powerful, smooth and evenly distributed lighting from a single LED COB. Standard CCT values include 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K and 5700K along with CRI value as 70+, 80+, 90+ and 95+. In addition, 95+ of R9 and R12 are also available upon request.
COB Model | Operation Power (W) | Outer Diameter (mm) | LES (mm) | Forward Voltage (V) | Driving Current (mA) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) |
Apollo 300 | 150~300 | 65 | 40 | 40 | 4,000~8,000 | 0.01 |
Apollo 400 | 200~400 | 75 | 50 | 50 | 4,000~8,000 | 0.01 |
Apollo 600 | 300~600 | 85 | 60 | 50 | 6,000~12,000 | 0.008 |
Apollo 900 | 450~900 | 110 | 85 | 50 | 9,000~18,000 | 0.007 |
Apollo 1200 | 600~1200 | 130 | 90 | 50 | 12,000~24,000 | 0.006 |
Apollo 2400 | 1200~2400 | 140 | 106 | 50 | 24,000~48,000 | 0.003 |
