“我们做事情不是为了追求利润，我们做事情，是因为这些事情是正确和公正的，”库克咆哮道。他说，不管是为了人权、可再生能源还是为有特殊需求的人们提供帮助，“我不考虑该死的投资回报率”。“直截了当地跟你说，如果这是你考虑的硬性因素……那你还是把苹果股票卖了吧。”库克的语气严厉，毫不妥协，那是苹果员工或许永远不希望面对的一个声音。

《纽约时报》记者詹姆斯?格尔曼追踪报道了一群科学家，他们试图找到将狼与狗区分开来的基因。为了进行科学研究，饲养小狼崽的人必须每周7天、每天24小时和它们在一起，使它们能够适应社会化，以便进行科学研究。尽管这些幼崽看起来很可爱，它们最终还是会成长为掠食性的狼，而不是人类的忠实伙伴。研究人员希望他们的工作将有助于揭示，究竟是什么因素在历史上让一部分狼演化成人类熟悉的狗。

简言之，无叶风扇就是没有叶片的风扇。它的工作原理是先将空气吸入风扇基座内部，然后通过扇头环形上的洞将空气吹出。这款风扇据说是詹姆斯·戴森发明的，并命名为"气流倍增器"。就像可以飞行的喷气背包一样，无叶风扇被《时代周刊》评为"2009年度伟大发明"之一，同样它也不是世界上第一个无叶风扇。实际上，第一个无叶风扇于1981年被日本的东京芝区电力公司获得专利。尽管东京芝区电力公司的无叶风扇并没有用于生产制造，但詹姆斯的无叶风扇的原始设计与其设计相似，所以专利局拒绝授予詹姆斯这个专利。尽管授予东京芝区电力公司的专利已经过期，但在授予詹姆斯这项新专利之前，专利局需要他提供该设计的创新之处。詹姆斯的经理吉尔·斯密斯并没有否认这两种无叶风扇间的相似性，只是说两者间的差异在于所用"科技"不同。

Since the establishment of Avic 1 and Avic 2 in 1999, which really marked the beginning of China’s push into the commercial aerospace market, there has been no doubt about China’s intent and the direction it wants its industry to take. But the pace at which it would achieve this ambition was less uncertain. Almost 20 years on, things have become much more clear, and there is now little doubt that China is well on its way to succeeding where several other countries have failed in becoming a full-fledged player in the large commercial aircraft manufacturing sector, with the potential to disrupt the long-standing duopoly of Airbus and Boeing.
