<description><![CDATA[El profesor  David A. Holmes, del departamento de psicología de la Universidad Metropolitana de Man]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">El profesor <a href="http://www.geocities.com/psydic/" target="_blank"> David A. Holmes</a><span style="color:#333333;font-family:trebuchet ms;">, del departamento de psicología de la Universidad Metropolitana de Manchester (Inglaterra) y su equipo han conseguido desarrollar la fórmula del culo perfecto, mediante una serie de ecuaciones… </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://elreves.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/ass3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1438" src="http://elreves.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/ass3.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="296" /></a></p>
<p><a title="ass3.jpg" href="http://takeawayblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/ass3.jpg"> </a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">* S es el factor general de forma, que mide la caída del culo o desparramamiento de las carnes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>* C es la esfericidad o redondez de los gluteos.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>* B es el factor rebote o bamboleo muscular, que mide la capacidad del culo para moverse.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>* F es la firmeza o resistencia a la deformación.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>* T la textura de la piel, y tiene en cuenta la presencia de celulitis.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>* V es el ratio entre cadera y cintura, o simetría del culo.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Según la fórmula para las mujeres, primero se hallaría el valor (S+C)x(B+F), este se dividiría por T y a dicho cociente se le restaría V. Cada atributo se puntuaría de 1  a 5 ó de 1  a 4 con valores siempre enteros. Veamos la forma de puntuar.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>Factor S</em></strong>: Desde 1 para culos con la forma de buñuelo aplastado hasta 5 para aquellos con forma de melocotón.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>Factor C</em></strong>: Desde 1 para culos cuadrados hasta 4 para aquellos con forma de pomelo. Este con forma de huevo tendría un factor C de 2.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><strong>Factor B:</strong></em> Desde 1 para culos que tiemblan durante al menos 30 segundos cuando reciben una palmadita hasta 5 para aquellos que no se mueven ni durante las practicas coitales siguiendo la postura del perrito.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>Factor F</em></strong>: Desde 1 para culos-blandiblu hasta 4 para aquellos duros como una pelota de baloncesto.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><strong>Factor T:</strong></em> Desde 1 para culos lisos y suaves como el de un bebe hasta 5 para aquellos con piel de naranja. Este de la imagen tendría un factor T de 1….</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><strong>Factor V:</strong></em> Desde 1 para los que son simétricos como un par de tetas prietas y tienen una proporción cadera-cintura de 0.7 (cintura 30% mas estrecha que la cadera) hasta 5 para aquellos que parecen un cono de trafico.</p>
<p>Asi pues, la máxima puntuación es de 80, y se obtiene para la combinación de valores: V=1, T=1, F=4, C=4, B=5 y S=5. Según Holmes, las posaderas perfectas habrían de tener una cierta dureza al tacto y una firmeza suficiente para prevenir el bamboleo excesivo o el salto vertical, ademas de una apariencia suave y una piel impecable. De acuerdo con sus estimaciones, Kylie Minogue merecería una puntuación de 80…</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">El día lunes en la tarde me dió la wea y decidí reorganziar las particiones de mi laptop. Lo primero que hice fue respladar los datos (obvio), borré todo y me puse a instalar <a href="http://www.debian.org" target="_blank">Debian</a>. Luego de unos 35 o 40 minutos tenia el sistema andando listo para usar. Esto es con <a href="http://www.fluxbox.org" target="_blank">fluxbox</a>, wifi y todo eso.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como tenia el sistema listo, me faltaba un monitor de "cosas" asi que me puse a escribir el archivo de configuración de<a href="http://conky.sourceforge.net" target="_blank"> conky</a> (.conkyrc). El resultado de un rato de agregar variables fue este:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cereal_bars/2511753751/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2006/2511753751_b2db4f95fe.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Se ve bien, no?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si a alguien le interesa, dejo el link de donde saqué las <a href="http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html" target="_blank">variables de conky</a>. Ademas de eso, <a href="http://pastebin.com/f2be174e5" target="_blank">aca está</a> mi .conkyrc.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ol>
<li>Tonight's the last night you can catch <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note_(film)" target="_blank"><strong>Death Note</strong></a> playing in the US. Don't know if there are any plans to release the sequel in US theaters as well.</li>
<li>The film was a lot of fun. I may actually search for the <em>tankōbon</em> to read.</li>
<li>Who am I kidding? Of course I'm going to read the <em>tankōbon</em>.</li>
<li>The theater was full of fan boys and fan girls of various ages, colors, sizes, and shapes. As such, it was kind hot and stinky until theater management finally turned on the A/C with about 45 minutes left of a 2 hour+ movie.</li>
<li>The guy who played Light/Kira was fugly but for a girl. He didn't really look like a dude to me.</li>
<li>But hey! His dad was played by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0434554/" target="_blank">Chairman Kaga</a> from "Iron Chef"!</li>
<li>Everybody cheered when L appeared. Some lady sitting on the other side of Jeff actually yelled "L, I love you!" What a loser.</li>
<li>At the same time, L <em>was</em> pretty rad.</li>
<li>Ryuk was pretty sweet. Also, a health nut — do all <em>shinigami</em> eat apples like they're crack?</li>
<li>Is there going to be a Hollywood version of this, or can I breathe a sigh of relief and this will actually be left alone?</li>

Lo más llamativo es que mientras tocaban la música, iban haciendo figuras de los juegos descritos. Muy interesante de ver.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:#333333;">The O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures <a href="http://oatventures.com/foo/">Startup Camp</a> is a nice option for the emerging personalized genomics companies or any web-related biotech startups to communicate and cooperate with alpha geeks and early technology adopters.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:#333333;">Tim O'Reilly <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2008/05/oreilly-alphatech-ventures-startup-camp.html">writes</a>:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:#333333;">The Thursday and Friday (July 10-11) before this year's Foo Camp in Sebastopol July 11-13, O'Reilly<a href="http://www.oatv.com/"> AlphaTech Ventures</a> will be hosting <a href="http://www.oatv.com/foo">OATV Startup Camp</a>. This startup boot camp will consist of sessions led by startup veterans and other experts in a roundtable discussion format on various topics important to founders. The sessions will be more of a conversation on each topic rather than a lecture, in which participants will learn from each other as well as from entrepreneurs who've already been successful.</span><!--more--></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13px;font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:#333333;">Some areas of interest include cloud computing, mobile, location-based services, open source hardware, physical computing and new materials, the future of manufacturing, tools for information management and open data, open source (especially as used to create Web 2.0 data assets), rich media and the future of creativity, cleantech, <strong>braintech (applied neuroscience), and personal genomics. Even better, surprise us with something you see that we don't.</strong></span></p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Wordpress or Twitter People.</p>
<p>Hey, so where is my Twitter widget? I realize that I'm a big dork and still refuse to put my blog on my own servers and so I must take what I can get, but seriously, I have to put a generic Twitter box in the right rail that just says follow me. That blows. I'd really love to have a shiny new widget that sucks in my updates without being all boring and plain. Just a suggestion.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sabemos que los geeks de hoy son indudablemente otros de los que eran aquellos en los años ochenta, en esta ocasión nos remontamos a 1983 donde les mostraremos el escritorio de un geek de ese año.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/zooboorex/retro-atari-escritorio.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Entre las curiosidades podemos ver el <strong>Atari 800</strong>, unos vasos decorativos de “<strong>El regreso del Jedi</strong>” y el <strong>clásico televisor de perilla. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Cómo pasa el tiempo!!!, yo aún ni nacía y aunque si llegue a conocer algunos de los aparatos mostrados no me creo que halla sido un estilo de vida geek muy placentero a comparación de ahora que tenemos redes sociales, mensajeria instantanea, los blogs, etc. Bueno como dicen, ninguna epoca es mejor que otra pero yo no me hallaria estando asi jeje.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">¿Tú eres un geek de la vieja escuela?, ¿Recuerdas lo mejor de esos años?, Esperamos sus respuestas o recomendaciones para los geeks modernos, saludos!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And so am I.  Well, last I reported, I was learning C++ and looking for work.  Which was kinda combined really.  I've now actually got a job again and it does involve programming in C++.  The place I now work for is a smallish company called <a title="ASTC Design, my new place of employment" href="http://www.astc-design.com" target="_blank">ASTC</a>, which is where a good friend of mine works, Sergei, and he encouraged me to apply.  Good thing too as so far I'm really happy.</p>
<p>They (or should I say "we") write software for engineering kinda places to emulate hardware components to test design ideas before they are built for real.  That's the 10,000 foot view of it anyway.  Apparently the whole client side of it can be rather hush hush so I won't mention any more of what goes on without getting written approval from my manager.  The actual job though is proving to be really good though.  I'm doing some serious work (or starting to anyway) and I'm working with some really nice people.  In fact, I don't think there are any not nice people in the company.  I won't say never, since that always works out badly in some comical way, but if there is a horrible person there, they are sure hiding well. The company seems very flexible in the way they approach work and hours.  The prevailing attitude seems to be that so long as you're getting your work done and you're not stopping anyone else getting theirs done, it's all good.  That also means that I need to be flexible in terms of taking conference calls at odd hours with people in other countries, but that's all good for me.</p>
<p>I'm also rather chuffed that I can use Linux as my development platform.  I'm running Linux in a virtual machine from Windows at the moment, but I'm hoping at some point soon to switch it over and run Linux native and Windows in the VM.  I'm also hoping to upgrade my Linux version to something a bit more recent, if my manager thinks that's ok.</p>
<p>Speaking of Windows and Linux, in the last post I mentioned that I had accidently killed my Windows system and was going to stick with Mandriva for a bit.  Well, I did, then I got rid of it.  And no, I didn't go back to Windows, I switched to <a title="Ubuntu Linux" href="http://www.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Ubuntu</a>.  I must say that it (version 8.04) is very slick.  I'm super happy with it and think I'll just stick with it for everything.  If you're thinking of trying out Linux, that's the one I'd recommend at the moment.</p>
<p>Anyway, it's getting on a bit and I really should get off to bed as ... I need to get to work in the morning.  Been a long while since I've been saying that.  Hopefully this will mean getting back to regular posting as I may actually have more to talk about.  Cheers!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Survey: 74% of US Americans say NO to in-flight calling, YES to data
In a Harris Interactive survey ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/21/survey-74-of-us-americans-say-no-to-in-flight-calling-yes-to/#comments">Survey: 74% of US Americans say NO to in-flight calling, YES to data</a>
<p></a><img src="http://ageekspot.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/1d4f7f5d-d398-4f72-b0f0-2b79541947ba.jpg" alt="1D4F7F5D-D398-4F72-B0F0-2B79541947BA.jpg" border="0" width="150" height="100" align="left" hspace="6">In a Harris Interactive survey of 2,030 US adults of whom, 1,778 have actually flown in an airplane, a full three quarters say that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/in-flight%20calling">cellphone usage on airplanes</a> should be restricted to "non-talking features." In other words, email, texting, and surfing the Web. That's a pretty significant majority seeing as how the EC has cleared the way for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/07/european-commission-gives-approval-to-in-flight-calling-in-europ/">calls within European airspace</a>. 69% of consumers agreed that if voice calls are permitted, a special "talking zone" should be established so that other passengers are not interrupted. While the survey reflects our own opinions, take note that the results benefit sites like Yahoo! Mobile, the very company which commissioned the survey. It's also worth highlighting a comment made by a certain Miss Teen, South Carolina who said, "That some US Americans <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/08/us-in-flight-calling-gets-shot-down-again/">should be unable to do so</a>, because, uh, some-a people out there in our nation don't have cellphones, and such as, maps." Good point.

Lined up in Jonathan Ive]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/comment/claire-beale/claire-beale-on-advertising-830554.html">Claire Beale on Advertising - Claire Beale, Comment - The Independent</a><br /><img src="http://ageekspot.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/9e335ca7-051c-44be-b462-c058977309cd.jpg" alt="9E335CA7-051C-44BE-B462-C058977309CD.jpg" border="0" width="96" height="118" align="left" /><br />
Lined up in Jonathan Ive's studio in Cupertino, California are four chunky Black Pencils. That's capital B and capital P, because these are no ordinary pencils. They are incredibly rare D&#38;AD Black Pencils. There are few creative awards more jealously coveted than a D&#38;AD pencil. Yellow pencils can be career makers. But the elusive Black Pencil is a marker of creative genius.</p>
<p>Last week Ive won two more of them, one for the iMac, one for the iPhone. He's already got four. So now the senior vice-president of industrial design at Apple is a D&#38;AD record breaker. Six Black Pencils, more than anyone else, ever, and in less than 10 years. Beat that Juan Cabral, creator of Cadbury's Gorilla and Sony Balls.</p>
<p>D&#38;AD, as you'll have read elsewhere in this paper, is one of the most important dates in the creative industry calendar, and it's one of the few events to unite the creative talents of the advertising and design industries.</p>
<p>Because for Ive perhaps the world's most revered product designer D&#38;AD matters, the people at Apple call me up. Would I like to talk to Jonathan? They don't say it, but it's a rare honour."</p>

Make your own iPhone skin with this tutorial. You can download a template from the website, along with very detailed instructions. I really like the matte black finish, since it will help hide all those messy fingerprints and tiny scratches.</p>
<p>The slimmest of iPhone cases is still too thick to use with the dock, so I came up with this skin-tight wrap for the iPhone that has really great grip (my key reason for needing a case in the first place).  I'm not worried about scratching the glass, but the slippery sides cause fear of dropping it.  Otherwise, I want to be true to the sleek, thin form factor, and even enhance the illusion by going matte black.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.moshimonde.com/zefyr.html">Moshi Zefyr Laptop Cooler</a><img src="http://ageekspot.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/f16348c1-db70-4e42-8c81-d84a9d1a38ac.jpg" alt="F16348C1-DB70-4E42-8C81-D84A9D1A38AC.jpg" border="0" width="234" height="190" align="left" hspace="6"> is different from the rest as this one caters for MacBooks as well as the MacBook Air specifically. The company has taken the pains to study just which are the exact parts where Apple laptops dissipate heat, placing high-thermal conduction compounds in those areas in order to pull heat away effectively from the hot zone onto the Zefyr's aluminum heat sink, with a USB-powered fan helping it cool down. Some of the features include :- </p>
<ul>
<li>100% cast aluminum heat sink assembly </li>
<li>Collapsible design for enhanced portability </li>
<li>Conductive heat dissipation through compressive TIC cooling pad </li>
<li>Slightly elevated angle for better ergonomics</li>

No idea on the audio quality that these Speaker Dolls are able to muster, but they sure as heck score maximum points in my book for enhancing a dreary looking desk. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gutsymmetries.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/me-glasses-vector-mic4.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" height="217" alt="me_glasses vector mic" src="http://gutsymmetries.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/me-glasses-vector-mic-thumb2.jpg" width="717" border="0"></a> </p>
<p>Nu prea mi-a venit sa cred, ieri, intr-o parte de Opera Center, cand am vazut scris din perspex colorat CMU Kids.&#160; Avem o programare la oftalmolog si, din motive neclare, m-au trimis la clinica de copii. "Si pentru (cativa) adulti", m-a asigurat zambind tipa in uniforma alba la receptie. Iar Babe s-a amuzat copios ca de acum eu sunt "Pustiul". Mda..</p>
<p>Am mancat o placinta umpluta cu piept de pui si felii de dovlecel si o tarta cu capsune la French Bakery si apoi pe scaunul de teste, cu barbia si fruntea infipte in suportul de plastic, m-am lasat examinata ocular de niste masinarii cu lumini. Am privit intai cu un ochi apoi cu celalat la o casuta rosie cu gard alb pe un deal, in interiorul unui paralepiped din tabla si lenses care pacanea si-si blura imaginea dupa un patern pe care doar doamna doctor il intelegea. Pe urma mi-a incercat cateva lentile de contact, spalandu-se din nou pe maini si adancindu-si degetele in irisul meu. O senzatie neplacuta. Nu stiu inca daca ma pot vedea potrivindu-mi zilnic o pelicula rotunda si umeda peste ochi, pescuindu-mi de pe pupila chestia lipicioasa. Intr-un final diagnostic: miopie -1 la ochiul stang.</p>
<p>In ciuda faptului ca era busy, Babe a acceptat sa vina cu mine in cateva magazine de optica medicala, eu cu noua mea reteta in buzunar, emotionata si inca tratand toata povestea ca pe un joc, sau un moft, ca si cum as fi mers sa-mi aleg o noua pereche de ochelari de soare. Proband pereche dupa pereche, nimic nu se potrivea, si deveneam dificila. Ideea mea simpla era ca noua aditie nu va trebui sa imi modifice personalitatea, doar sa adauge la ea. Iar acei ochelari de stomatologi, de secretare sau de dive, branduiti lucios sau sclipitor pe rama, din rama metalica subtire in nuante silver, black, cupru sau albastru profund, sau din plastic gros cu emblema, pietricele transparente taiate ca diamante sau scrisuri mari sporting nume fashionabile ca MaxMara, Police, YvesSaintLaurent, Exel, Gucci, Armani, DG, erau orice altceva decat ma vad eu a fi. Dificil, cu o asistenta de magazin ascunzandu-si profesional exasperarea si cu aprobarile convingatoare alea iubitei mele, m-am decis asupra unei perechi de ochelari patrati cu rama neagra, asa cum am admirat mereu, de fapt, la savantii din filme, cat mai simpli posibil. Pe fata mea cu maxilar drept stateau un pic ciudat am zis eu, dar ele doua erau de acord ca imi vin grozav. So I did it. Am zis ok, ii iau pe astia si obscura pereche, cenusareasa magazinului, s-a dovedit a fi un Calvin Klein fucking expensive pentru care am semnat mai degraba resemnata. Mi s-a dat o chitanta si asigurarea ca performantele lentile Hoya montate in noua rama CK imi vor sta minunat peste zece zile, cand ma vor suna sa ridic pretioasa achizitie. Pe urma pe strada aproape am plans, in continuare emotionata de perspectiva de a purta regulat lucrul ala peste ochi, atragand atentia asupra mea in viitor, cu gol in stomac si tot, prima data cand am realizat cu adevarat ca voi avea in curand o alta fata.</p>
<p>(Totusi, acum sunt excited. Si incantata de primirile dragute in "lumea celor cu ochelari", pe care mi le-au facut tot felul de prieteni din messenger.)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Raga, ho 2 nerd in casa. Di quelli che giocano online a Warcraft, per la precisione a DotA (Defence of the Ancient) tutto il giorno e tutti i giorni. 2. Sono 2. Davanti al PC per ore al giorno.</p>
<p><a href="http://whereisalby.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/mik_dota.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-136" src="http://whereisalby.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/mik_dota.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Ma il caso non è di certo isolato, sono centinaia di migliaia i giovani prede di questi giochi online che hanno bisogno di aiuto. Le tendenze da me riscontrate in tali soggetti sono 2:</p>
<ul>
<li>giocare ininterrottamente per ore e ore estraniandosi dalla realtà senza possibilità di recupero: il soggetto in questione è destinato a continuare su tale andazzo fino all'età di 30 anni (quando avrà una crisi esistenziale e capirà che le centinaia di ore impiegate a giocare avrebbe potuto impiegarle per fare qualcosa di costruttivo o comunque non deleterio)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>giocare parecchio con la consapevolezza di essere schiavo di un gioco dal quale non riesce a staccarsi anche dopo vari tentativi di disinstallazione dal PC per "scappare" dal fututo che gli si prospetterebbe seguendo la tendenza al punto 1. Tale soggetto riesce a intervalli più o meno regolari ad avere una qualche sorta di vita sociale, una ragazza, a studiare, a fare attività fisica... insomma... ad avere uno stile di vita più attivo.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ultimamente sto analizzando le ore effettive dedicate al mouse, tastiera e a una postura gobba sul pc di questi 2 soggetti con i quali condivido l'appartamento. Sull'asse delle <em>x </em>i giorni e sull'asse delle <em>y</em> le ore. Fortuna che le mattina sono praticamente sempre a lezione. I dati del fine settimana non sono in mio possesso in quanto i 2 soggetti (come me) tornano a casa non essendoci corsi universitari da seguire.</p>
<p><a href="http://whereisalby.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/graph_dota.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-138" src="http://whereisalby.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/graph_dota.png" alt="" width="400" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Una discriminante è anche il fatto che una partita online a questi giochi dura non meno di 45 minuti, con tutte le conseguenze del caso che si riflettono sugli impegni prefissati.</p>
<p><a href="http://whereisalby.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/nik_dota.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-137" src="http://whereisalby.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/nik_dota.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Lancio un appello a tutti i genitori di figli posseduti dai videogiochi per troppo tempo:  <strong>STACCATE LA SPINA!!!</strong>. Staccategliela! Se non lo fate li avrete sulla coscienza per tutta la vita e se diventeranno dei nerd sfigati perdenti sarà ANCHE colpa vostra.</p>
