Samsung or Apple?

It is frequently hear that people are taking about Samsung and Apple. Why people pays such much attentions on the comparsion of Samsung and Apple? Oh, maybe it is time for them to replace a new phone… Which brand is better in the end? I believe everyone has his/her own opinion.

Just according to Emily Yu’s Blog, The article with title All you hear about in this continent is Apple  talks about the comparsion with Samsung and Apple. It was really general to see that everyone had an iphone in the hand while playing “Angry Birds” in the past one or two years. However, there are more and more people using Samsung nowadays. Emily’s article says that even though iphone has been appeared on the market nowadays, Samsung made the claim that they had more than 150 different phone models in the U.S. alone. How strong the competitive power is! Apple usually sells one phone per year. Neverthless, it is said that Apple decides to come out with iphone5s in the following few month. Will Apple break the rule of “one phone per year”? We may wait and see what happens.

I am using Samsung Galaxy note now. Upon my soul and honour, I find I use Galaxy note seems more comfortably because of its big wonderful HD screen. Whatever, different strokes for different folks. Ifit suits you most, then it is the best.

Energy and Sustainability

Our human beings are using a large amount of energy. Substainabilty is a significant idea which has been considered and tanken into practiceby experts. Business also can devote to sustainable development.

There are a lot of washrooms in UBC and it is easy to find that the lights in washrooms is truning on days and nights. This situations is a big waste of the energy and this might not fit with sustainability . So I think it can be improved by replacing with electornic senor lights in washrooms to save energy and develop sustainable. Here is a picture of electronic senor light:

It is obviously that this kind of light is small and exquisite. The most important advantage is it saves energy. When you walk into the washroom, it will turn on automatically and when you walk out the washroom, it will turn off by itself.

Why I say that business can help sustainability? Because that I think if UBC decide to replace with the electronic senor light, it must be a large amount of demand. Business part of UBC can make projects to cooperate with the electronic senor light company so that the corporation can help UBC save money in purchse. UBC will save money in electric charge to a great extent. Most importantly, UBC will save energy to devote in sustainability development.
