Pursuit For Freedom and Human Rights,Chinese Are No Exception

Someone wonders when the Chinese people are going to protest their lame government like the Egyptians? It seems like the Chinese people don't care about freedom and humans rights. They care about iPads and money.

It's not true, the Chinese are just waiting for a chance!

1. It's not true to say Chinese people don't care about freedom and human rights. More and more Chinese especially the educated like college students and graduates cares, but they still need the strength to gather.

2. For the ordinary lower class Chinese people, mostly the peasants. They are born in the 1960s or 1970s,when the exam system was paused. So most of them are illiterate, and they have to do the most dirty and heavy jobs for quite a long time a day. They don't have the ability (they may not recognize the Chinese Character) and time (they work so long a day, mostly more than 14 hours, from 8:00 AM to 22:00 PM). We cannot blame them.

3. One event happened in 1989 (June 4th) in mainland China has changed the country significantly. More than 1 million students then gathered on the famous Square in Peking for freedom and democracy, but the result affect the next 20 years: the troops and tanks went into the city and fired the civilians, hundreds of thousands of people were shot dead. The whole nation was afraid of government more since then.

4. After the Event, the government strengthened the pace to brainwash the people, especially the students. So most of the students, even though they have much more knowledge, they are just sheep to the government.

5. The Great Firewall makes the Chinese netizen unable to know the truth of the world. Like the 4th point, they are brainwash because all the public media in China are controlled by the government.

There are much more reasons, anyone can write a quite thick book out of this topic. I only want to say who will not care about freedom and human rights, and the Chinese people are no exceptions.

Three Spotlights of iPad 2

Apple Inc. is expected to release iPad 2, its second generation iPad on March 2, and the CEO

Steve Jobs may appear on the press conference scheduled to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. It has been a hot topic all over the world and the search on Google has increased more than 100% from Feb 5th to Mar 1, which is totally a super Internet explosion.

Most of the people are wondering what's new in iPad 2? There are lots of such news recently, but the following three might be the most stunning new features of iPad 2.

1. A new camera is added in the front interface. One of the pities of the first iPad is the lack of camera so customers cannot photography or talk visually. If no accident, with the front-facing camera, flat back and a slightly redesigned speaker, the iPad 2 will support the FaceTime face to face video calls function.

2. The iPad 2 is much thinner than iPad. The iPad is about 13.4mm thick according to the official statistics, while iPad 2 might be as thin as 9.3mm, which is quite close to iPhone 4. Apple Inc. is famous for "breaking the limitations of scientific technology", this time iPad 2 will surely give the world a shock.

3. The most breaking news is that the price of iPad2 is expected to be 10% lower than iPad. Apple Inc. is good at create a strong public interest with high-end market products. The price for iPad is about $500 to $830, while iPad 2 is estimated to be $100 lower, about $399 to $799, which is quite attractive.

Last year, the first iPad had unexpected success in sales, even Apple itself didn't imagine that. It topped 15 million units by the end of 2010. Apple officials admitted they were very surprised at how fast it went from the early honeymoon period and when it became a runaway hit.

The iPad 2 isn’t even out yet, and there are already rumors about an iPad 3. Some claim this iPad 3 could come out as soon as September. We will never know whether it is true or not until after September. The one thing we are sure is that the coming iPad 2 would fulfill the whole world with its new technologies and lower price.

How To Import PowerPoint Files Into Sony Vegas

Many people have the experience of making a short video using Windows Movie Maker. As a free video editing software come along with Windows Operating System, Windows Movie Maker is good, but the function is limited. More and more people are turning to Sony Vegas, the best professional and efficient video editor for both beginners and pros on PCs.

Vegas features real-time multi-track video and audio editing on unlimited tracks, resolution-independent video sequencing, complex effects and compositing tools, 24-bit/192 kHz audio support, VST and DirectX plug-in effect support, and Dolby Digital surround sound mixing. The only inefficiency is that the supported video formats are confined to mainly AVI, MPEG, MOV, while AVI is recommended. Recently a friend happened to ask me if it is possible to import PowerPoint into Sony Vegas. Because I have some experience on audio and video converting, I told him why not convert the PowerPoint to a video format like AVI that Sony Vegas supports.

Maybe you haven't used any kind of converting software before, you may think it is complicated. I have used a PPT to Video Converter which is quite easy for beginners. It can convert PowerPoint to almost all popular video formats like WMV, MPEG, AVI, etc. It retains the structure of original PowerPoint, such as the transitions and the slide duration and keeps all delicately designed elements in PowerPoint.

Since the tool is ready, now we are beginning to the most important part, how to convert a PowerPoint to AVI, and only three steps is needed:

1, Import PowerPoint presentation.

2, Choose output file format, AVI.

You can also make advanced settings if necessary.

3, start conversion.

A few minutes later (depens on the number of the slides and the elements contained in the PowerPoint), the converted video comes on earth.

Now, you can import the video (in AVI format, any other format Sony Vegas supports is OK, just choose a different output format in step 2) to Sony Vegas and make further editing. Though Sony Vegas cannot support PowerPoint directly, with this smart converting tool, we could make PowerPoint be supported indirectly.
