>Apple's victory boosts MS
蘋果贏官司微軟收漁利
Apple Inc's decisive triumph over Samsung Electronics in the most closely watched patent trial could open the door for Microsoft Corp to finally hop on board the mobile boom, Reuters reported. Mobile industry executives say the ruling that Samsung had copied Apple's designs and software features had intensified their interest in a Microsoft alternative.
據路透社報導,近日,在與三星電子這場最受關注的專利官司中,蘋果取得決定性勝利,這或將為微軟最終加入移動產品熱潮敞開大門。移動行業高層稱,對三星抄襲蘋果設計和軟體功能的裁決提高了他們對用微軟產品作為替代品的興趣。

"Microsoft has been the beneficiary of this whole fight as the other non-Android option," said Ron Laurie, a Silicon Valley-based specialist in investment banking. ZTE and Huawei, China's 2 largest handset makers, have announced plans to launch Windows-based phones to supplement their Android products.
矽谷投資銀行專家勞裡表示:"作為安卓以外的選擇,微軟一直是這場專利戰的受益者"。目前,中國最大的兩家手機生產商中興和華為均已宣布,計劃推出搭載Windows系統的手機,對安卓產品進行補充。

>Chinese lawmakers review laws
人大審議多項法律草案
The National People's Congress Standing Committee, China's top legislature, started to discuss draft laws and amendments concerning civil procedure, mental health, the safety of special equipment, tourism and environmental protection Monday.
27日,全國人大常委會開始對民事訴訟法修正草案、精神衛生法草案、特種設備安全法草案、旅遊法草案和環境保護法修正案草案進行審議。
[民事訴訟法修正草案]
According to the draft amendment to the Civil Procedure Law, a 3rd party will be allowed to bring legal action to appeal if civil rights and interests are infringed upon by malicious litigation.
民事訴訟法修正草案規定,若公民權利和利益受到惡意訴訟侵犯,將允許第3方被侵害人採取法律手段提起上訴。
[精神衛生法草案]
A draft law on mental health includes provisions to protect the privacy of the mentally ill and their right to protest. According to the draft law, institutions and individuals should protect the privacy of mentally ill people by preventing leaks of private information, such as their names, addresses and employment status, unless the sharing of such information is necessary for institutions and individuals while exercising their lawful duties.
精神衛生法草案對保護精神障礙患者隱私信息作出規定,並明確了相應的法律責任。根據草案,有關單位和個人應當對精神障礙患者的隱私進行保護,避免其姓名、住址、工作單位等信息遭到洩露;但依法履行職責需要公開的除外。
[旅遊法草案]
The draft law on tourism regulates operating standards for travel-related businesses and scenic areas, as well as a clause prohibiting travel agencies from forcing tourists to purchase goods. It says fees for tour guide services must be clearly listed in travel contracts and travel agencies may not charge tourists for any expenses not included in such contracts.
旅遊法草案對旅遊相關業務和景區的經營標準、不得強迫遊客購物方面做出規定。旅遊法草案規定,旅遊服務費必須在合同中列明,旅行社不得收取任何合同中未列出的費用。
[環境保護法修正案草案]
The draft amendment of environmental protection adds a clause that calls for governments and environmental protection departments to release information concerning environmental quality, pollution-related accidents and the collection and use of pollutant discharge fees to the public.
環境保護法修正案草案增加了要求政府和環保部門向社會公開環境質量、汙染相關事務及汙染物排放費用的收取和利用等信息的條文。
[特種設備安全法草案]
China's legislature also discussed a draft law on the safety of special equipment, or equipment that operates under high pressure, temperature or speed with a potential threat to public safety. The equipment specified includes boilers, elevators and cranes, as well as other items. The purpose of the legislation is to prevent and reduce accidents through an institutional buildup that can stop risks at their source.
人大常委還對特種設備安全法草案進行了審議。特種設備指那些在高壓、高溫、高速條件下運行,對公眾安全存在威脅的設備,包括鍋爐、電梯、起重機械等。該法案通過建立規範防範和減少安全事故的發生。
>Tokyo's request declined
東京都登島申請被拒絕
The Japanese government Monday rejected Tokyo Metropolitan Government's application to land on the Diaoyu Islands on the excuse of maintaining the stability of the area, Xinhua reported. Tokyo said in response that it will carry on the survey of the islands this week from the surrounding water without landing, because it's a necessary step in buying the islands. The governor of Tokyo, Shintao Ishihara, announced in April that the Tokyo government plans to purchase the islands.
據新華社報導,日本政府27日以"區域維穩"為由,未批准東京都提交的登釣魚島申請。東京都政府隨後回應,為了未來"購島"所需,將於本周內前往釣魚島周圍海域進行"現場調查",屆時不登島。今年4月,東京都知事石原慎太郎宣布東京都購買釣魚島的計劃。
>Bolaven moves to Liaoning
颱風'布拉萬'今遼寧登陸
Typhoon Bolaven is expected to make landfall in Liaoning Tuesday, Xinhua reported. The meteorological center in the city of Shenyang issued a yellow alert for Bolaven, the 2nd-highest level in China's 4-tier color-coded weather warning system, predicting the severe typhoon will land in Dandong, Liaoning, and the northwestern region of North Korea Tuesday evening.
據新華社報導,"布拉萬"颱風預計28日在遼寧登陸。瀋陽中心氣象臺已發布黃色預警(次高級別,最高級別為4級),預測"布拉萬"將於28日晚在遼寧丹東和朝鮮西北部之間登陸。
--Ferry services on the Dandong section of the Yalu River have been suspended. Bolaven entered the East China Sea Monday, bringing gales and downpours to eastern coastal areas.
目前,鴨綠江航道丹東段已全面停航。"布拉萬"27日在我國東海登陸,受其影響,東部沿海地區遭遇大範圍強風和降雨天氣。
>Whining a chronic disease
抱怨也是一種慢性病?!
A recent poll shows 60% of China's employees are whiners who complain 5 times a day on average, Health Times reported. And an average Briton spends 14.5 minutes whining a day, which is equivalent to someone complaining 106 days during his whole life. Occasional complaints will help release pent-up emotions and pressures, said experts. But if whining becomes normal in life, it will be like a chronic disease and the level of physical harm is no less than what diabetes or high blood pressure has caused.
據《健康時報》報導,最新調查顯示,中國6成職場人每天都抱怨,平均一天抱怨5次,而英國人平均花14.5分鐘抱怨,相當於一生中花106天抱怨。專家稱,偶爾抱怨可釋放情緒和壓力,但如果抱怨成了生活常態,也算是種慢性病,其對身心的損傷絕不亞於糖尿病和高血壓。
