My BBC Programme

Two weeks ago, I did an interview for Discovery Channel, BBC China Service. In that program, I talked about the developement of Intelligent Computer, and whether it will take over human beings in the future. It's not my strongest part to be honest. I initially suggested human interface as the topic. This one was the last on the list of topics I suggested. However, the director of the program picked up this one since she thought it would attacted more listeners. After the program was recorded, the feedback from her and the BBC crew are very good and I've been invited to do another interview on user-friendly interface next month.

It's broadcasting from 28th December and will be repeated three times this week. If you are interested, you can listen to it (the last part. Realplayer required). However, in Chinese!

Lenovo Creats a legend

Yesterday, my previous company in China bought IBM PC business at the costs of altogether about $1,75 billion.

I worked from 1998-2002 at Lenovo before came to England. It's only at there I started knowing what user-centred design was and grew up from a user interface designer to the manager of UI design centre. I thrived a lot during working there and I still feel grateful for having had an opportunity of working at Lenovo. It is a great company and I'm sure soon it will be famous in the world!

Some people don't think it's a good deal as Lenovo has paid too much for it. But I think it worths. It's Lenovo's courageous attempt for stepping into the global business.

I wish Lenovo more and more successful in the future.
