今日科技要闻：Hulu考虑出售
|
* 据《纽约时报》(New York Times)报道，美国视频网站Hulu在收到了一份收购要约后，现在已经在考虑将公司出售的可能性，但报道并未指出谁是买家。目前Hulu的董事会正在货比三家，而且可能会与以前曾向Hulu表示过收购意向的其他公司和私募基金进行接洽。【《纽约时报》（New York Times）】 * 据彭博社（Bloomberg）报道，苹果公司（Apple）的新一代iPhone将在今年9月发布，好为届时一同发布的iOS 5移动操作系统增添声势。新iPhone支持iPad 2所使用的A5处理器，还搭载了一款800像素的摄相头。【《财富》（Fortune）转自彭博社（Bloomberg）】 * Lytro公司是位于美国加州山景城的一家初创公司，该公司研发出了一款可以先拍照再对焦的照相机，它最主要的功能是免除了用户进行手动对焦甚至自动对焦的麻烦。用户将照片上传到电脑或手机之后，可以在照片上进行重新对焦。 你是不是觉得Lytro真是创意十足？有这种想法的人可不止你一个。到目前为止，Lytro公司已经从格雷洛克公司（Greylock Partners）和霍洛维茨基金（Andreessen Horowitz）等风投机构那里募集到了5，000万美元。【科技博客All Things D （All Things D）；科技博客TechCrunch （TechCrunch）】 * 据科技博客TechCrunch报道，雅虎（Yahoo）公司正在悄悄地物色首席执行官的继任者。其中可能包括福克斯数字媒体（Fox Digital）的首席执行官乔恩•米勒，据报道米勒已经与雅虎董事会进行过“初期的、非正式的”会谈。【TechCrunch科技博客 （TechCrunch）】 * 诺基亚（Nokia）是否会在10月26日发布首支Windows系统的手机？包括《电脑杂志》（PC Magazine）的专栏作家莎沙•塞根在内的不少人都认为很有可能。因为今年的诺基亚世界大会（Nokia World）就定在10月26日召开，而且这段时间恰好够最新的芒果版Windows Phone 7系统进行一次可能的升级。【《电脑杂志》（PC Magazine）】 译者：朴成奎 |
* Hulu is considering a possible sale after receiving a takeover offer from an unspecified bidder. As a result, the company's board is looking at its options and may reach out to other companies and private equity firms that have wanted to buy it in the past. (New York Times) * Bloomberg reports that a new iPhone, sporting the same A5 processor in the iPad 2 and an 8-megapixel camera, will launch in September to coincide with the release of Apple's iOS 5 mobile operating system. (Bloomberg via Fortune) * Meet Lytro, a Mountain View-based startup that's developed a camera that among other features, removes the need for users to manually focus or even use autofocus. Instead, users can adjust the focus on any thing in the image once it's loaded onto a computer or phone. If Lytro sounds innovative to you, you're not alone. So far, it's raised $50 million from the likes of Greylock Partners and Andreessen Horowitz. (All Things D and TechCrunch) * TechCrunch reports that Yahoo is quietly looking for CEO replacements. One of those candidates may include Fox Digital Chief Jon Miller, who has reportedly had "early and unofficial" discussions with the company board. (TechCrunch) * Will Nokia launch its first Windows-loaded phone on October 26? That's what some, including PC Magazine's Sascha Segan, are saying given the Nokia World conference is scheduled to kick off on that date and the time frame neatly matches up with a possible uploading of the latest Windows Phone 7 update, "Mango."
