要贏人先要贏自己，
有冇事情一直想做，
卻又偏偏未做？
The best way to get something done is to begin.
如果有呢位阿叔一成既決心同勇氣，
試問仲有咩係無可能做得到？
伊朗局勢在YouTube
昨天，有網友說：「互聯網徹底改變了世界外交政策」，今天，就在YouTube的Citizentube上看到這些從來不可能在tvb新聞看見的令人痛心的畫面…

一夜蒸發一間電盈
前晚，收到孫柏文電郵，這廝近期的電郵，通常是朋友前朋友後，想不到這趟居然認真地寄來一篇華爾街日報的報道，補上這樣一句「PCCW終於幫政府隊低YouTube！不過好可惜，佢幫係巴基斯坦政府，哈哈哈哈……」
據了解，有人將褻瀆穆罕默德的漫畫，上載到YouTube，巴基斯坦政府因而命令國內70家ISP，使出俗稱「BlackHole」的網上封殺技術，將前往YouTube伺服器的流量引導至網絡黑洞，試圖阻止人民登入YouTube。
結果，巴基斯坦大部份人民，固然不能正常下載YouTube的短片，奇怪的是，身處遠方的PCCW，作為Pakistan telecom的互聯網供應商，莫名其妙地亦受到該網絡指令的牽連。因此，網絡黑洞亦隨它們「環繞地球26個圈」的光纖蔓延開去，影響世界各地的大小ISP，引致YouTube在全球各地癱瘓了一個多小時，事件最後亦演化成國際大新聞及Google的大災難。
李澤楷絕對不是回徒，思哲相信PCCW是無辜的。相反，套用有關當局的慣常用語，PCCW無遠弗屆的光纖網絡，誤打誤撞地擊倒Google，這不是「令香港成為領先的電訊城市」又是甚麼？
這一次，Google成為了大輸家。事發當日，Google的股價從506美元跌至486元，跌近4%。如果是市場認為Google較想像中vulnerable、失去信心而投下不信任一票，那PCCW就是棺材上的那口大釘！難道不是嗎？Google市值本來約有1500億美元，以此計算，事發當日Google蒸發掉的市值逾50億美元，剛好可以買下整家PCCW。
能夠在一夜之間，一下子蒸發了相等於整整一家PCCW的市值，香港有這樣一家ISP，真是我們的光榮！

YouTube disrupted!
想不到，貼出香港寬頻封鎖主要網站的YouTube片之後，幾小時之內，收到孫柏文的email，得悉由於巴基斯坦的網站封鎖，成個YouTube竟然down左幾小時！
Service on Google Inc.’s YouTube site was disrupted around the world for several hours Sunday after a botched effort by the Pakistan government to block access to a video clip critical of Islam.
The incident, which is still being investigated by YouTube, underscores the vulnerability of the global communications infrastructure. The unusual circumstances surrounding the breakdown also point to the growing role sites like YouTube have played in spreading politically charged content — including in Pakistan, a nation that is already a tinderbox of political tensions.
The story began unfolding Friday when the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, the nation’s telecom regulator, ordered Pakistan’s Internet service providers to immediately block access to a specific YouTube video which it said was so incendiary it could trigger riots. A senior official at the authority said it also contacted YouTube, requesting that the site remove the video. The PTA argued the clip was a violation of YouTube’s terms of service, which ban hate speech. YouTube has since removed the clip. The site says it does not comment on reasons for removing specific videos.
但最離奇的，要數我地光纖足以環繞地球26個圈既PCCW，亦遭牽涉入事件當中：
The message was communicated around the world via PCCW Ltd., a Hong Kong telecommunications company which inadvertently transmitted the message internationally over its network. PTCL is connected to the global Internet through PCCW’s networks, among others. Technical experts say this type of problem is extremely rare — and is essentially beyond YouTube’s control. PCCW didn’t immediately respond to inquiries.
請問有人因而未能正常使用YouTube嗎？今天我向PCCW公關部查詢，得到以下回應：
As spoken, I have pleasure in enclosing our line re the You Tube incident for your reference please :
We are aware of the incident and is reviewing what exactly has happened and why. PCCW Global is committed to consistently provide resilient and reliable connectivity services globally to both service and content providers.
