Las mujeres eran parte integral del plan de comunismo chino, y para apoyar a las mujeres a tomar una parte más activa en su sociedad y su economía se crearon posters alabando e idealizando a la mujer china trabajando.

Apple Unveils 'World's Thinnest Desktop'

No es ningún secreto que soy un maquero de closet (love them G4's) asi que noticias como estas me ponen a salivar...





Touted by Schiller as "the world's thinnest desktop computer," the new iMac resembles a thicker version of Apple's LCD Cinema Display series, with the entire computer, including optical drive and power supply, built into a single case two inches deep. The system comes in three models. The low-end machine, priced at $1,299, is based around a 17-inch LCD and 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 processor, and comes with a 533MHz front-side bus, 256MB of DDR-RAM, and a slot-loaded CD-RW/DVD combo drive.

The middle system, priced at $1,499, ups the speed of the processor to 1.8GHz with a 600MHz front-side bus, and swaps the combo drive for a DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive. Both models come with an 80GB Serial-ATA hard drive.

iMac G5

At the top of the range comes a 20-inch version, identical to the midrange model other than the larger screen and a 160GB hard drive; it is priced at $1,899. Although all the models can be equipped with Bluetooth and 802.11g wireless networking, none of them comes with this as standard. Apple claimed the iMac will begin shipping worldwide in mid-September.

Death mask gallery

este es Amado Nervo por cierto

What is a death mask?

A death mask is a wax or plaster cast of a mold taken from the face of a deceased person. Death masks are true portraits, although changes are occasionally made in the eyes of the mask to make it appear as though the subject were alive.

AusStats : ABS medal tally: Australia in second after day 13

El Buro de Estadisticas de Australia saca el promedio de medallas y lo compara contra la población

Esto ubica a Australia en 2ndo lugar ya que con una población de 20 millones de habitantes tiene 16 medallas de oro lo que resulta en 1,260,000 habitantes por medalla de oro.


El primer lugar?

Bahamas gracias a Tonique Williams

Mexico??

casi en ultimo lugar... y eso porque a una gran población ha habido pocas medallas, y ninguna de oro que es el criterio de selección del modelo.

Este blog se dedica a hacer un record de los ultimos lugares en las olimpiadas:


But why do this, except to be a global prick?

Okay, that's part of it. But it's also to celebrate participation -- which gets too much short shrift at the Games, except with novelty acts like Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards and the Jamaican bobsled team at the 1988 Calgary Games -- instead of complete and utter triumph. Triumph is sexy, but participation is brave. And therein lies a tale.

I'm no athlete myself. In junior high, though -- before Osgood-Schlatter Disease put an end to my nascent track career -- I tried my hand at distance running. I entered my school's track meet and ran the 1,500 metres -- and trailed badly. In fact, I was lapped before the finish. One of my fellow students was laughing at me. But my gym teacher, hearing him, went up to him and said, "I don't see you running out there." And the kid, whose identity I never found out (I heard the story afterword from my teacher), began to cheer.

Remember that about the last-place finishers at these Olympics. They finished last, but at least they're there. And we're not.

How-To Tuesday de Engadget

El tema del martes pasado fue como "Hacer fotos en 3-D"





necesitan:

Getting started

For this how-to, you likely have everything you need as far as hardware goes, the only item you might not have are the 3-D glasses, but those aren’t too hard to find. In general, there are a lot of ways to make 3-D photos, but here’s the way we made ours and what we used.

Ingredients

* Digital camera
* PC (With Windows XP, SP1 or above)
* Free Software, Callipygian 3D Photo Editing Software.
* 3-D Glasses. These red and blue 3-D glasses usually come with a comic book, or some special video game/TV promotion. We got ours at Borders books in the kids section with a 3-D Dinosaur book. If you can’t find any at a comic or book store, you can also order some from many places online, Ward’s Natural Science has 15 pair for $15.75.


How to Tuesday de Engadget

DOs and DON'TS

Una lista de recomendaciones de que esta bien y que esta mal hablando de fotografía.

ejemplos:

Q Do: Quick reflexes Good photographing is like a sport. You have to be fast, strong (cameras are heavy as shit), agile and hyperaware. It's no coincidence that Spider-Man is such a good photographer.
Don'ts: Quick prints (expensive and look like shit)
Dos: Quick load (a godsend)


Y Don't: Photographing Yourself The majority of self-portraits are annoying and bad because humans are far too self-aware to photograph themselves in any sort of candid, honest way. Everyone puts on their photo face (usually mopey, serious, or blank), squints their eyes, and tries to look timid, shy, sensitive, and/or tough. It's really gay.

Tricks of the Trade

consejos de los expertos, siendo los expertos gente común que solo hace su trabajo:

For every occupation, there is a catalog of secrets only its employees are aware of—such as how waiters with heavy platters know to look straight ahead, and never down. Armed with a bag of reader mail, Matthew Baldwin unfurls a whole lot more true insider knowledge.

Attorney

Do whatever it takes to fit your contracts onto a single page: Format with single-spacing, use a 10- or 9-point font, and reduce the margins to less than an inch. Most people assume any contract that fits on one page will be simple and straightforward, and even sophisticated negotiators can be charmed by the lack of a staple.


Balloon-Twister

When you’re twisting balloons for children, never tell them what you’re making. The majority of the finished products—despite your best attempts—almost always look like a dog, a blastula, or something vaguely phallic. If you identify what you’re actually attempting to make, the children will respond to your finished product with, “That doesn’t look like a [insert animal name]…” But if you make the animals and then ask, “What does it look like to you?” the child’s imagination will take over, turning the blue, four-legged balloon into Blue from Blue’s Clues, the blastula into a Pokemon, and the phallic object into an elephant. You’ll also get bonus points because you were so cool for making exactly what they wanted.


Technical Support

When helping someone fix their computer over the phone, and you want them to see if all the cables are plugged in correctly, don’t ask, “Have you checked to see if the cable is plugged in?” because the customer will always say, “Of course I did, do you think I’m a moron?” Instead say, “Remove the cable, blow the dust out of the connector, and plug it back in.” The customer will most likely reply, “Hey, it’s working now—I guess that dust really builds up in there!”

The Last Frontier state just may become the first in the nation to legalize marijuana completely

Backers of a controversial ballot initiative want pot to be treated just like alcohol. If voters pass the measure, it would be legal to grow, smoke and sell any amount of marijuana so long as one is 21 years of age. The state would regulate the cannabis industry just as it licenses booze and cigarettes.

Resident Evil viral marketing ploy backfires

Como venderias Resident Evil, el videojuego??

asustando a tus clientes potenciales?


A marketing campaign to promote the latest version of the Resident Evil video game has provoked a panic about the spread of a non-existent mobile phone virus.

Users have received unsolicited SMS text messages on their mobile phones telling them they are infected by the so-called T-Virus, prompting calls to AV company Sophos about the supposed outbreak. The messages are sent from a website designed to promote the game Resident Evil: Outbreak, in which players defend themselves against zombies by blowing their heads off with a shotgun.

Bear Drinks 36 Beers and Passes Out

When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby — dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.



The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans

Slashdot | Gene Therapy Turns Slackers Into Workaholics

cientificos descubren la cura de la hueva...


(Reuters) -- Procrastinating monkeys were turned into workaholics using a gene treatment to block a key brain compound, U.S. researchers reported on Wednesday.

Blocking cells from receiving dopamine made the monkeys work harder at a task -- and they were better at it, too, the U.S. government researchers found.

y curioso dato:

Humans and monkeys both use this learning, which involves looking at how much work there is, visually, and deciding how long it will take to complete it.

Monkeys and humans both tend to wait until the last possible minute to finish up the work, and become very adept at estimating how long they have.

Molecular geneticist Edward Ginns created a DNA antisense agent that tricked brain cells into turning off their D2 receptors -- which are molecular doorways used by dopamine to get into cells.

Un hombre es acusado de matar a sus hamsters...



A retired Italian man could face up to a year and a half in prison if found guilty of killing his six pet hamsters and one guinea-pig by throwing them off his terrace into passing traffic.



The man, detained by police after the guinea-pig crashed into the windshield of a car, told officials that he had accidentally knocked the animals off his terrace while sweeping, AGI news agency reported on Thursday.

Police in the northern coastal town of Imperia discovered the hamsters' bodies littered across the street after the motorist complained about the broken windshield.

By studying the trajectory of the pets' bodies they were able to identify the man's apartment.

eh?? demasiado CSI para la policia italiana... trayectoria... yeah right...

Under a new cruelty to animals law, the man could be sent to jail for between three to 18 months for killing the pets. He will also be held responsible for the damage to the windshield.

New York, July 29 – The Grizzly Adams-looking dude who rode into Battery Park on a motorbike turned out to be actor Ewan McGregor. He and buddy Charley Boorman rode 20,000 miles around the world, starting from London in April and ending in NYC. In between, they roared through Central Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, Alaska and Canada. Their journey was filmed for a TV show called Long Way Round, to be broadcast in the UK and the USA, on October 20, and 28th, respectively.

The bikers marked the end of their adventure on a hot July day where boats sail into New York harbor for the Statue of Liberty. They slowly rode their BMW choppers up the promenade, shook enormous bottles of Mumm’s champagne before uncorking them and spraying each other and everything else nearby, including us.

A convicted rapist serving a lengthy jail sentence has won $13 million on Britain's national lottery, a newspaper reported Wednesday.



Iorworth Hoare was on weekend release from a low-security prison when he bought his winning ticket for last Saturday's Lotto Extra draw, the Sun said.

Hoare was nearing the end of a life sentence after being jailed in 1989 for attempted rape. The length of a life sentence is at the discretion of the judge. He had previously served sentences for rape, attempted rape, and indecent assault.

The phenomenon of weborexics first became apparent about three years ago with the emergence of so-called pro-ano, or pro-anorexia, websites. But they've taken a sinister turn, with several sites cashing in by selling pro-ano merchandise, including teddy bears, "ana" bracelets and tank tops with slogans such as "nothing eaten, nothing gained".

Pro-anos are one of the more disturbing online communities because of their promotion of anorexia as a lifestyle choice and badge of honour. The websites typically contain a weight-loss weblog, a how-to guide with tips on starving and purging, and "trigger pictures" of thin celebrities.

Many of the homepages and forums have been disabled but a plethora of sites can still be easily found. Anorexics can now go online and for between $US3 ($4.30) and $US25 buy a red-beaded "ana" bracelet - a symbol of solidarity that identifies them to the rest of the community. The bracelets are designed to help anorexics resist their hunger by being worn on the hand used to eat with.

Red bracelets signify anorexia and blue "mia" bracelets represent bulimia. Green symbolises recovery. Health professionals believe these sites can influence their anorexic patients, including those who end up in hospital with life-threatening conditions.

El deseo cumpleañero

Un comercial de televisión, que no fue puesto al aire porque el mensaje estaba muy fuerte...

Ven como en las fiestas se le pide al festejado pedir un deseo...

bueno que pasa si el festejado quiere un todo su "super pastel helado" para ella misma...

pide un deseo.

y se cumple...
