Meeting? No thanks! XD
see video: http://www.ted.com/talks/jason_fried_why_work_doesn_t_happen_at_work.html#
Jason Fried has a radical theory of working: that the office isn't a good place to do it. At TEDxMidwest, he lays out the main problems (call them the M&Ms) and offers three suggestions to make work work.

Que miedo!!!
En una operación empresarial sin precedentes, la compañía de Redmond acaba de anunciar la compra de Red Hat Inc. por un importe de 7.200 millones de dólares. La compra, según declaraciones de Steve Ballmer, director ejecutivo de Microsoft Corporation, “pretende cubrir un nicho de mercado empresarial en el que no eran capaces de competir con sus propias soluciones, así como obtener activos intangibles, como son partes del kernel Linux, Jboss y otra serie de productos que pertenecen a Red Hat”. Esta operación tambien permitirá reforzar su extensa cartera de patentes, que vendría a reafirmar el liderazgo de Microsoft en patentes vitales para la informática, tales como el proceso de apagado del sistema operativo. Una operación que, sin duda, dará mucho que hablar y que supone un primer paso en la política de adopción de las tecnologías abiertas y libres por parte de Microsoft. ¿Veremos algún día las próximas versiones de Windows o del paquete ofimático Office con licencia GNU/GPL o similares?

A diagram of how Apple’s proposed 3D projection system would work.
(Credit:
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office)
It’s not that much of a surprise that Apple thinks watching 3D content with plastic glasses is dumb.
And the company that’s all about sleek, cool, and simple has actually been granted a patent on a method of projecting a 3D image that can be perceived properly without glasses.
The system would work like this: each pixel would be projected onto a reflective, textured surface, which is then bounced into a viewer’s left and right eye separately, producing the 3D, or stereoscopic, effect. it would sense the locations of both eyes of the each viewer, so multiple people could watch from a variety of angles.
The goal of the technology they’ve cooked up is “inexpensive auto-stereoscopic 3D displays that allow the observer complete and unencumbered freedom of movement,” according to the patent application the Patent Office granted yesterday. In other words, 3D displays should have no need for special glasses, and viewers shouldn’t be limited by viewing angle, or be forced to sit and not move in order to see the 3D effect.
Interestingly, the patent breaks down why they think current offerings for glasses-free 3D aren’t good enough, including parallax barrier, volumetric, and hologram.

Android por aquí!
…y tu cual eres?
Sometimes the guys in our office like to get in stupid fights about phones. Yeah I know they do it on the blog, but they also do it in private as well times 1000. It is essentially the song that never ends, with Mike Arrington and Jason Kincaid erring on the side of Android and MG well, sigh.
Here’s Arrington’s take on one such fight that happened today:

Un paquete!!! AAAARGGG
(click image, via) This is the creepiest of Ad Creeps! Do you like your advertising invasive? Well, it doesn’t get more invasive than this ADT stunt created by the Santiago, Chile office of ad agency DDB. (Compare to this one, this one, and this one.) I guess ADT or DDB minions invaded apartment buildings all over the Chilean capital and slid these rubberband spring-loaded boxes under dwellers’ doors. On the box was the ADT logo and the line: “Breaking into your apartment is easier than you think.” That’ll get your attention/piss you the fuck off. Video below.

A possible acquisition of Adobe by Microsoft were among the options.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Steven A. Ballmer, Microsoft’s chief executive, recently showed up with a small entourage of deputies at Adobe’s offices to hold a secret meeting with Adobe’s chief executive, Shantanu Narayen.
The meeting, which lasted more than an hour, covered a number of topics, but one of the main thrusts of the discussion was Apple and its control of the mobile phone market and how the two companies could team up in the battle against Apple. A possible acquisition of Adobe by Microsoft were among the options.

Microsoft Battles Apple in the Wrong Market
Microsoft has launched a new Windows 7 campaign to take on Mac OS X. A new tab on the Windows 7 sites compares Windows 7 to Mac OS X in a number of areas–listing out the reasons that Windows 7 is the superior choice. Most of the points made by Microsoft are valid, but the campaign itself is a waste of resources that could be better used battling Apple where it counts.
