今天突然好想寫寫這幾間科技公司 因我跟他們的 IT 及 PR 接觸過， 他們是科技界的龍頭。
Google事緣 2007 年 因比賽勝出而跟那些技術人員溝通。Google (不知內地或台灣) 的 技術非常好，回覆我的問題好快亦好專業。香港 marketing (也是操國語的) 說話超快，也好好效率。我曾試過晚上 11:00 send mail, 不到 5 分鐘便回我。 所以 Google 請的人確是一流。只是最後有些感覺怪怪因那時超過 Budget 幾百元 都沒得 claim haha...
Nokia - 亦是比賽所以接觸他們香港的 marketing. 可惜他們沒有給我好印象。他們叫我弄些本土味重的 apps然後交給他們測試，我照辦。第一次 ok 有回 (隔好耐)。之後 N8 出又弄，可惜這次一點回覆也沒。簡直浪費時間。比賽是有獎金的，若我沒問 相信可能會沒人提。還有就是 NOKIA China。那次搞比賽 我也有參加。但結果公布日完全沒消息。我走去 Nokia China Forum 問，回覆已過 連誰勝出也沒人知。唉 好難想像咁大間公司，d marketing 可以是這樣的。所以現在沒有搞 Nokia 的東西。當然v非常睇好 Windows Phone的前景。 Nokia 好彩能跟 MS 合作。
Microsoft - 最近因為參加 MS 的 first apps 比賽，所以直接 send email 問 MS HK 香港人能否參加
"HI,
I am living in Hong Kong. I just want to make clear that whether Hong Kong Citizen can enter MS First Apps Contest or not?
Thanks"
有位職員回

各位 我想知這算是 " 九唔答八嗎"?
好 可能我問得差，再問
"HI,
I think you have misunderstood my question. MS announces a global contest
(see the link)
https://buildwindowscontest.com/
However, it doesn't mention HK citizen can join this contest or not. Thus, I
want to ask and if HK citizen is not allowed to join, then I don't need to
develop the apps for this contest.
Hope it is clear enough"
佢覆:

見到嗎? 究竟香港人能否參加? 到現在是個 -- 謎。
Apple - 因為最近有個 apps 被 reject 所以感受好深。Apple 連續 3 次 reject，我也 3 次回覆 講理由。到最後他們放出 17.2 條 reject 的理由，真的到終審了，結果也是 REJECTED. 於是我又寫一大編理由說明我沒有違反條例。哈 他們真的有睇亦最後 approved! 這次我好感受到 他們不是亂來的。 只要你能交出合理的解釋， 他們確是會重新看及審閱。好有人情味!!
日後如能再接觸科技司，心中也有數他們的 style是怎樣。
