Let's just start with this: The iPhone 6 is the best smartphone ever made. But it's not perfect. Like any smartphone, there are some things about the iPhone 6 that will drive you batty. First, here's what you'll love about the iPhone 6. 1) The rounded edges. The iPhone 6 feels really, really good in your hand. It's insanely thin and light, and there are hardly any square or jagged edges on the device. The vibrate toggle switch is the big exception -- it nicked me a couple of times when I was pulling the iPhone out of my pocket. The curves give the iPhone 6 a less distinctive look than some of its predecessors and other smartphones on the market. But what the iPhone 6 sacrifices in appearance it makes up in usability. I don't want to put the iPhone 6 down when I'm holding it. Related: iPhone 6 has car Bluetooth problems 2) The camera. Ironically, the ugliest part of the iPhone 6 helps deliver its most beautiful features. The iPhone 6's camera juts out of the phone's back by about a millimeter, and the obsessive part of me kept wanting to pop it back in. But whatever Apple got out of that millimeter was worth it. How much does your iPhone really cost? Photos are clear just about every time. It performs masterfully in weird lighting situations, such as when the subject is in a shadow but the sun is shining brightly. It takes photos remarkably quickly and -- most importantly for photo-taking dullards like me -- without any fuss. And the front-facing camera also takes surprisingly good photos for the selfie-taking types. The time-lapse and slo-mo video functions seemed more gimmicky than practical to me, but some people might find them useful -- or at least fun. 3) The screen. The iPhone 6's display is gorgeous. It's noticeably sharp, and the iPhone 6's display even looks great when you're not looking at the screen straight on. That's helpful, say, when you're watching a video with friends or showing photos to your family. Related: Is the iPhone 6 Plus bendable? 4) TouchID. There is no shortage of complaints about the iPhone's fingerprint sensor malfunctioning, but I found it to be wonderfully convenient and accurate. It makes signing into your phone, downloading apps and buying music a breeze. So if it works for the simple stuff, Apple Pay is going to be a cinch. Paying for stuff with your iPhone 6 supposedly will be as easy as holding your phone up to a payment terminal while touching the TouchID sensor. We'll see next month when Apple Pay launches -- but it sounds promising. Apple Pay turns iPhone into credit card And here's what you'll hate about the iPhone 6. 5) iCloud. What an absolute mess. When setting up my iPhone 6, one of the umpteen prompts asked me if I wanted to "upgrade to iCloud Drive." For about 12 hours, when I went to my iCloud settings, iCloud Drive indicated that it was "upgrading" with a pinwheel of death next to it. And once it finally decided to finish upgrading, it didn't impress me. I uploaded a photo and a document via iCloud.com, and I have absolutely no idea how to view those on my iPhone. There isn't even an iCloud Drive app. Meanwhile, iCloud says it will back up my photos via Photo Stream, but there's no obvious way to manage that -- it doesn't even exist on iCloud.com. What if I want to store photos on iCloud but not on my phone to save precious storage? Related: Chinese smugglers make big bucks on iPhone 6 6) iOS 8. There are some really nice new features in iOS 8, including the amazing Spotlight universal search feature, text notifications that let you respond without opening iMessage, and all the brilliant camera software. That's on top of excellent existing iOS features, such as the brilliant Control Center quick tasks launcher, Facebook integration and of course FaceTime. But there's plenty to hate about iOS 8, too. Setting up an iPhone is an unacceptably lengthy experience with way too many questions, options and notifications. Siri still doesn't do anything particularly worthwhile. Apple annoyingly added unnecessary steps for accessing and clearing notifications. And none of the "widgets" in the notification screen that I tested were particularly useful. See Apple's new iPhone 6 in :60 There's also a lot of Apple bloatware, including compass (really, Apple?), "tips," maps and Passbook. Others are redundant, including the contacts, FaceTime and camera apps that you can access in other places. But you can't delete or hide those apps -- the only way to clear them off your screen is to put them in a folder labeled "crap." So here's the bottom line : The iPhone 6 is a gorgeous, incredibly well-designed smartphone with a world-beating camera and some neat tricks. But Apple's software gets in the way of the iPhone 6 being a perfect smartphone.
6个好习惯让你的生活快乐美丽！ What I've learned from being happy is that no matter how bad our days get, happiness can be found, especially when we consistently try to consciously be happy. 在追求幸福的过程中我学到的就是不管生活多糟糕，幸福一直都在，特别是当我们一直坚持着想要幸福的时候。 1. Learn how to relax when setbacks arise. 在遇到困难的时候要学会放松 We do not live in a perfect world. Some days are great; some days are not. Some days, the buses run extremely late, and you swear you'll never take the public transport ever again. Accept the fact that that things may not go as planned. Instead of trying to change something you can't, focus your energy on changing something that is within your control. 我们生活的环境并不会一直如意。有些天还不错，有些天却很糟糕。有些天连公交车也走得出奇的慢，你发誓再也不会乘坐公共交通工具。要学着接受生活有时候不如您所愿的这一事实，与其试着去改变一些不可能的事情还不如将你的精力放在你能掌控的事情上。 2. Laugh in the middle of a busy day. 最忙的时候也要对自己微笑 It's 3 PM on a Friday afternoon and you're desperate to leave the office. On top of the work you have, you're running close to a super important deadline. Instead of blaming everything not going your way, take a moment to laugh. 现在是周五下午的3点，你是拼了命的想要离开。但是你还有一堆的工作要做，有些很重要的事项眼看就要到截止日期了。与其抱怨一些不如你所愿的事情还不如忙里偷闲笑一笑。 3. Do not compare yourself to others. 不要拿自己和别人相比 Measure your own successes based on your progress, and only yours. All of our lives are unique, and no one is better than any one else. Try not to think that you are better than anyone else as it promotes unhealthy superiority and can be detrimental to your happiness. 基于你自己的努力来衡量一下你的成功，只是你自己的。我们都是独一无二的，没有人比其他任何人都要好很多的。不要觉得自己就比别人好，因为那样的想法会促成不良的优差意识，然后来影响你的幸福。 4. See that colleague in the beautiful new dress? Compliment her. 看见同事穿了一件漂亮的新裙子？赞美她一下。 Everyone loves compliments, including that colleague who just walked in on a Monday morning in a beautiful dress. Being kind to others, like passing random compliments, it makes people happy, boosting self-esteem and confidence. Don't be afraid to tell people how great they look, or how awesome their smile is. It'll do good for them, and you! 每个人都喜欢被赞美，包括周一的时候就穿着漂亮的新裙子走在路上的同事。对别人友好一点，像是在路上的时候你的随性赞美都会让别人感到快乐，让他们更自尊更自信。不要不敢告诉别人他们的外表有多美，笑容有多美。不仅有益于他人，还有益于你自己。 5. Stop trying to please others. 不要试着去取悦别人 It's tiring and you will soon run out of time to please yourself, period. 很累，你也会没有时间取悦你自己。 6. Focus on the present moment. 关注当下 Take some time every day to focus on the present moment; it is the only certain time we have in our life. Try not to think about the negative past experiences and embrace the time you have now. You'll soon find that even the slightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come. 每天花点时间关注当下，这才是我们生活中最确定的时间。试着不要去回忆过去不美好的时光，好好利用你现在拥有的时光。很快你会发现哪怕这一刻的一件很细微的事情也会为你带来之后几小时甚至是几天的快乐。
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-reich/the-selling-of-american-d_b_1671479.html Who's buying our democracy? Wall Street financiers, the Koch brothers, and casino magnates Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn. And they're doing much of it in secret. It's a perfect storm: The greatest concentration of wealth in more than a century -- courtesy "trickle-down" economics, Reagan and Bush tax cuts, and the demise of organized labor. Combined with... Unlimited political contributions -- courtesy of Republican-appointed Justices Roberts, Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Kennedy, in one of the dumbest decisions in Supreme Court history, Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission , along with lower-court rulings that have expanded it. Combined with... Complete secrecy about who's contributing how much to whom -- courtesy of a loophole in the tax laws that allows so-called non-profit "social welfare" organizations to accept the unlimited contributions for hard-hitting political ads. Put them all together and our democracy is being sold down the drain. With a more equitable and traditional distribution of wealth, far more Americans would have a fair chance of influencing politics. As the great jurist Louis Brandeis once said, "we can have a democracy or we can have great wealth in the hands of a comparative few, but we cannot have both." Alternatively, inequality wouldn't be as much of a problem if we had strict laws limiting political spending or, at the very least, disclosing who was contributing what. But we have an almost unprecedented concentration of wealth and unlimited political spending and secrecy. I'm not letting Democrats off the hook. Democratic candidates are still too dependent on Wall Street casino moguls and real casino magnates (Steve Wynn has been a major contributor to Harry Reid, for example). George Soros and a few others have poured big bucks into Democratic coffers. So have a handful of trade unions. But don't be fooled. Compared to what the GOP is doing this year Democrats are conducting high-school bake sales. The mega-selling of American democracy is a Republican invention, and Romney and the GOP are its major beneficiaries. And the losers aren't just Democrats. They're the American people. You need to make a ruckus. Don't fall into the seductive trap of cynicism. That's what the sellers of American democracy are counting on. If you give up on our system of government, they win everything. This coming Monday, for example, the Senate has scheduled a cloture vote on the DISCLOSE ACT, which would at least require that outfits like the Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove's "Crossroads GPS" disclose who's contributing what. Contact your senators, and have your friends and relatives in other states -- especially those with Republican senators (who have been united in their opposition to disclosure) -- to contact theirs. If the DISCLOSE ACT is voted down, hold accountable those senators (and, when and if it gets to the House, those House members) who are selling out our democracy for the sake of their own personal ambitions.
