Swan automaton eighteenth century realistic
October 13, 2009
Surely if it were not for the title could easily think the video to see that this is the last robot newcomer niponas land which has the latest technology that allows it to move with the degree of realism that we see.
Well, nothing like that, is an eighteenth-century automaton machine imitating a swan-size. It is made of silver and as a clockwork inside (and music box) which is what gives “life” .
It is believed that John Joseph Merlin was the creator of the facility and passed through several hands until in 1872 John Bowes bought it.
It is now exhibited in the museum Bowes (England) and I saw only operate once a day at a specific time. I’m eager to see him live and live to appreciate all the details of this artistic work and mechanics.

Coverage of San Luis Digital, Computer Fair
October 10, 2009
From 1 to October 4 was conducted in the Province of San Luis the 3rd edition of the show called San Luis Digital computer and a blog reader Sol Medina was lucky enough to attend and kindly put together a summary of the event for us which from and appreciate, I could not publish it earlier for some further complications and I misplace in the box, but now we share it with you all.
Today (on Sunday) finished the third edition of St. Louis Digital, the largest computer fair in the province (and encourage me to say that the region of Cuyo well) organized by the University of La Punta and the Government of the Province.
I had the chance to go two days, so I walked and I went up the stands again and again. There were two main entrances to the campus where they were the booths of the companies (there were 2 tents, one for adolescents and one for children), in each of the inputs: the two largest stands: HP and across Microsoft-Intel. < >
The HP without any big news, pretty notebooks and netbooks in all colors, styles and sizes and a screen about 29 “which was filmed and put on red who stood at her and later dropped his image on the screen.
The Microsoft’s shift had several netbooks available to anyone who would be sailing for a while and one of the most popular entertainment: a projector, a giant screen tochscreen (see video jaja) where you could surf, draw, etc.. < >
Among other major companies was Tallard, Daxa, CORAD, Telmex, Kyocera, LG, Oracle, SIA Interactive, Exo, Panda Security and many local computer companies.
As is well known in St. Louis is very supportive to the cinema, and one of the stands had ridden a quad in front of a blue cloth, visitors could climb up and take a video walk the roads of San Luis and Potrero de los Funes, with wind effects and all inclusive with the best style movies!
Also noteworthy Laboratories, which was something like “cybers of netbooks” where children and adults could sit and have flash animation courses, registering for social network here or browse / chat a while.
I have not had chance to go to computer events in cities such as Buenos Aires or other countries, but I think we have anything to envy puntanos that although they were not all companies that you wanted (no Linux, no Apple The post “Clear” presented no Smartphone latest model) integrated CORAD Computers, The huge touchscreens Microsoft, robots created by teenagers, and organizing the event went flawlessly and left gaping at more than one.
More than one company put a Nintendo Wii as a lure to play with anyone who approached, there were still drawings wifi antenna, Xbox 360, companies that distributed tons of discounts and countless pamphlets.
The only thing to criticize: 90% of companies contract very pretty girls, but knew little or nothing about the company and not talk about the technologies and software development (they were plentiful companies) undertaking. (No offense or discriminate!)
In addition to individual conferences were held stands among the busiest and most interesting were “Opening San Luis 3.0″ by the leadership of the ULP, “A Smart World” by the President of IBM, “Technology and Innovation” by Public Sector Director of Microsoft Latin America.

Turn your Firefox into Google Chrome
October 10, 2009
Without doubt one of the great strengths of Chrome, beyond its speed of execution, was his successful appearance. It is so today I started looking for a topic to do my FF look like Chrome and found the Chromifox Extreme .
It’s a great addon that is in many details to try to clone Chrome, in principle pass the tab to the top of the window and share the same icons as well as other similarities. But not contented with that, I found another extension, Download Statusbar , which doubles the power bar Chrome downloads.
Just not achieved the visual field that has Chrome, but will experience Extreme Chromifox closer.

Spotify, as the recording industry could disappear next year
October 10, 2009
Since leaving Spotify I always wonder if he’s giving the money needed to solve the business and record companies pay everything they ask. It seems that so far there was no problem and that gives to think nothing bad is happening, but now the music industry in Britain came to speak in response to statements from Daniel Ek and what they said is not encouraging.
What I said was that Spotify works and works well, as people began to use left of “hack” (at least with the music that list, because I have a friend who had to download the Beatles’ discography 
last week. This is progress incredibly large.
But commented that although for now the service is providing income for yourself, if next year is not generating more money from subscribers, which incidentally is the best way to generate it with the service is dead may not continue .
The problem is that the industry itself is not allowed to climb as Spotify approximately the labels they charge about 649 thousand euros per month for licenses for reproduction. A real fortune. It would be much better to give them time to settle and start generating money, sooner or later end up benefiting them? All we gain is that “piracy” began to disappear again for another day. Or think they started eradicated?

A small sample of this work CreativeCloud collected in Board 15 historic covers 15 major newspapers providing news. Of course, as is currently happening, one of the most relevant parts of these 15 covers the central holder, which guides the direction of the news.
Among those compiled so find some mythical as that of April 12, 1912 pertaining to the New York Times in which the owner was the only one that was adjusted to reality when the Titanic hit an iceberg or the News Chronicle announcing the Hitler’s death.
