Chromebook哪些web服务在中国大陆不能正常使用

2011年6月4日 | 分类: 乱七八糟 | 标签: ,

三星 Chromebook 已经开始通过 Gilt 限时预售,6月15日官方开卖 Chromebook。虽然离正式开卖还有10多天的时间,但许多中国大陆的用户开始蠢蠢欲动,想立即出手买之而后快。

在 桌面时代,用户必须通过应用程序来实现他们想要的功能,譬如说游戏、办公、听音乐,看电影,等等。而在互联网时代,Web已经很大程度上代替了原 来只能通过软件才能实现的功能。因此,用户对桌面程序的依赖度相对于几年前来说,有所下降,对浏览器和Web的依赖程度不断增加。

Chrome团队的负责人Sundar Pichai说过:有网络的地方就会有人愿意用ChromeBook。实际上,其潜台词很明确,没有网络的地方Chromebook连一台电脑都不如,能做的,或许仅仅是离线办公。

中国的网络环境和全球的网络环境是不一样的,大家都懂得。全世界有很多优秀服务在大陆并不能正常的使用,除了极少数他国网站主动屏蔽不让中国用户访问之外(如Hulu.com),还有一些人为的因素影响着中国大陆用户的上网环境。

为了避免某些谷粉买了Chromebook之后,发现其中太多功能不能正常使用而抱怨Google或Chrome OS,我们有必要在这儿说说,在中国大陆Chromebook哪些web服务不能正常使用,以便让用户有个心理准备。

1.Google Docs(docs.google.com

这是一款Google在线文档编辑网站,相信很多Chrome迷在之前的Chromebook广告演示”云”的时候见到了这东西。共享编辑和浏览成了它在大陆不能访问的重要原因。Google Docs服务的443端口已经完全被封,即无法使用https进行连接,部分地区还可使用http连接打开Documents,但无法打开Spreadsheets和Forms等。

2.PicasaWeb(picasaweb.google.com

大约是在09年7月左右,PicasaWeb网络相册开始正式无法使用,但仍然可以访问PicasaWeb的非英语站点,目前其中文版本间接性的不能使用,抑或访问速度超级慢。

3.Gmail(gmail.com

Gmail与Google其它服务整合较多,如Calendar、Documents、Picasaweb、Youtube、 Buzz等,这些基本都会出现这那的问题,而且,我发现在Chrome里直接打开gmail的速度,甚至不如我SSH代理后的速度快。

4.YouTube(youtube.com

是 一个全球最大的视频网站,上面有很多外国网友上传的视频,从科技类、教育类、生活类、情感类的生活片段视频,都可以在上面找到。它有利于让中国用 户了解外面的真实世界(或部分,至少比CCTV真实吧~)。从07年开始,YouTube就开始出现不能正常使用的情况,间歇性的打不开,或者访问速度 慢。但在2009年3月的常规性清查中,YouTube终于正式完全被封。

5.Google搜索(google.com

你永远都不知道搜索哪个词会是敏感词,搜索功能在其它很多产品中都有用到,而几乎与之相关的产品都受到这个影响,例如Google News。

6、Chrome商店(chrome.google.com/webstore)

Chrome的应用商店和插件库可以打开,但部分应用程序不能安装,除非你的运气够好。

7.Facebook(facebook.com

是 一个社交网络服务网站。于2004年2月4日上线。截至2010年7月Facebook拥有超过6亿来自 100多个不同国家的活跃用户。2008年7月初,Facebook在大陆间接性的不能使用,当时用户仍可以间歇性地看到部分内容。2009年7月7 日,Facebook开始在大陆不能访问。目前,Facebook在中国香港与中国台湾均能正常访问,Facebook的香港用户人数,由2008年底的 145.85万增长到367.36万,即每两个香港人中,就有一个拥有Facebook的帐户。台湾的增长更快,由2008年底的11.3万个用户,增至 去年底的975.26万。台湾地区领导人马英九,也在Facebook上开设了他的个人主页

8.Twitter(twitter.com

是一个社交网络及微博客服务的网站。2006年创立,2009年6月2日下午起,由于政策法规方面的原因,中国大陆地区将永远无法访问Twitter官方网站。

9.MyYearBook(myyearbook.com

与Facebook类似,是一个美国的社交网站,使用用户大多是13-22岁期间的青少年。作为全美社交网站中流量排名第三的优秀网站,与中国大陆无缘。

10.Blogger(blogger.com

个 人博客类网站,Blogger与其他的博客提供的显著优势在于有强大的模版编辑功能,对于HTML及CSS 的高手Blogger无疑是最好的选择,模版完全支持HTML编辑,你可以把Blogger打造成一个专业的站点,而Blogger就好像空间提供商,而 这个服务是非常稳定的(在美利坚)。从2006年开始,Blogger在大陆间接性不能正常使用。

列表或许还会很长,我们在这里不再一一列叙。

网络的应用程序

在 Google看来,上述的这些网站都被视为互联网时代的”应用程序”,与桌面时代的应用程序相当。只有”系统+正常访问”才能实现其最大功能。显 然,一个良好的网络环境,是非常必要的。如果你在大陆不能正常使用Chromebook上面的一些功能,看了这篇文章后或许会为你解决部分问题。如果你 说,我只使用国内的网站,国外的一律不去,你可以把它打造成中国版的Chromebook,相信随着Chromebook的诞生,很多中国的”云”服务网 站会开发相应的扩展或APP对Chromebook支持。

总之,这些优秀的服务在美利坚很好用,一到景德镇上就大打折扣或者根本访问不 了。套用以前的那句话,科技不应该被政治所利用,政治也不应该成为科技 的挡路石。孰不知,某些人越是限制,另一群人越是反感,最后的结局就像晚清末年一样,本是支持皇室的立宪派们,因自身的利益被侵犯或得不到尊重,到最后不 得不加入革命军的队伍,成为灭掉清廷的主力军。

但可以肯定的是,总有一天,会因为我国政局的更加开放,或正常的国家政权更替,上述列表会被清零,中国互联网也会像其它高科技国家一样开放,中国用户也将会自由的使用国际互联网,如果你相信这一天终会到来的话。

    Are you sick and tired of all these messages? Don’t let them control your Internet access anymore!
    Ever since the Internet came into our lives we have been extremely amazed about the amount of content (good or bad, depending on whose viewing it) available out there. But, like any happiness that only last a short period, many countries and corporations have tried to prevent their citizens from viewing specific online information. Their desire is to close your eyes, your ears and shut your mouths. Here comes the Internet censorship.
    It is well known that the Internet, as a medium, supports all kind of contents. The final objective of these censorship attempts is to try to block or control the content available on Internet. But, we are big enough to decide what news to read, what movie to see, what comment to post on a blog or what shows to view. It is your right to choose!
    What is Internet censorship?
    Censorship is a mechanism used by Governments to control population’s minds. The purpose of censorship is to control the thoughts of people, to control their life style, their habits, what they read, what they talk about and what they see. By providing access only to what they want, they will definitely think they can create the “perfect” population they always dreamed of.
    The most common methods used by censors are to block websites and keywords. The websites can be blocked both by their name and by the IP address of their web server. Blocking certain keywords can be done either in the user’s search request or in the content of a web page.
    Be free and secure on Internet! Bypass Internet restrictions!
    No matter what the censors’ reasons are, the end result is the same: they block access to the web pages THEY identify as undesirable. How do they mark a website as inappropriate, this is still a mystery. Ok, we can deduct some of the criteria, but still it is about the battle of different interest groups.
    There are several countries where the Internet community is fighting for its freedom of speech inside the Internet but those who set this restrictions (the state, political groups or other kind of organizations) are much powerful than any other.
    Need to bypass Internet Censorship?
    The effect of internet blocking mechanisms and the implications of censorship are a major concern for many individuals and groups this is why important efforts are made to ensure that the Internet, and the information available on it, is freely available to everyone.
