was Stephen Elop the sleeper agent at nokia?

I really don't know. but boy, I'm sure the Microsoft haters will surely think so.
Stephen Elop was a microsoftie, then he got promoted to Nokia's CEO and now, after the flailing of symbian and the tardiness of Meego (Maemo + moblin) he joined Sthephen Ballmer to announce something that we never thought possible, Nokia will be using somebody else's operating system for it's smartphones (let's be clear, only for it's SMARTphones) for their dumbphones they'll surely will keep on using what works now.

Symbian is gone

• Nokia will adopt Windows Phone as its primary smartphone strategy, innovating on top of the platform in areas such as imaging, where Nokia is a market leader.

• Nokia will help drive and define the future of Windows Phone. Nokia will contribute its expertise on hardware design, language support, and help bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies.

• Bing will power Nokia’s search services across Nokia devices and services, giving customers access to Bing’s next generation search capabilities. Microsoft adCenter will provide search advertising services on Nokia’s line of devices and services.

• Nokia Maps will be a core part of Microsoft’s mapping services. For example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising experience

Here's hoping for you guys to succeed and create and option to IOS and Android that promotes great offering form every vendor and carrier, in the end we all are to win, except for the fandroids, that biy, they just don't get that one OS is the certain way to stagnation.

"There are other mobile ecosystems. We will disrupt them. There will be challenges. We will overcome them. Success requires speed. We will be swift. Together, we see the opportunity, and we have the will, the resources and the drive to succeed."

If we are to believe the rumors the onslaught of cheaper android phones is making apple review their strategy where they didn't want to attract everyone, but only people ready to pay dearly for the Cupertino's company's flagship device the iPhone and left the previous year's version to be their entry level offering. They want ne wofferings....and yed...even fragmentation for IOS in order to attack every price range, and that's not all, if we keep on believing these rumors, they even want to make phone that can work either in CDMA networks or GSM networks (lte anyone?)

LA LIGA

Hey, today it was not swedish TV, ended up watching the lakers beat the grizzlies at Al Jazeera and boy, this promo is awesome.

Xoom ad

You know what?
Actually the xoom ad that Motorola aired during superbowl is actually not that anti apple.
Well, ok, it is, but it never says the name or show the fruit, and if you use the white buds that come with the iPod, well, you might be a robot, those thing sound like shit.

Motorola struggles mightily and rarely comes out with great hardware, the droid was the last time we regarded Motorola's design with something tantamount to respect, so I believe we can understand why they want to pick a fight with apple, but what I don't get is how the hell they think they can get something out of calling the apple loyalist soulless drones , I already spoke about about this, people with ideals when buying hardware are few and actually not so prone to expend money on day one and only because this is the "anti iPad". so I think this ad is cool only because it reminds us of how far is apple from the company they believed they were back in 1984 when Ridley Scott directed that legendary promo (that was never aired again for copyright infrigement of Orwell's work)

The xoom is going to cost $800 (USD) so they have an uphill battle and that is only against the original iPad, if apple remains loyal to it's tradition we''l have a new ipad at the same price point in a few weeks.

Are the fandroids coming to Motorola's rescue? I don't think so, most Android noisy fans do not own top of the line terminals.

Mexican short sightedness

Or Myopia if you like is a quintessential Mexican attribute and I'm not trying to say that my fellow country men (and fellow country women...you know , nowadays yo have to that way) need to use glasses, but it is unbelievably sad how most people down here lack the will to make an effort and stop trying to make a fol of everyone else at the expense of the nation, this TRANSA culture has made this country a jungle, only loud monkeys like Fernandez Noroña and Andre Manuel Lopez Obrador scream so loud and do nonsensically that most other apes are drawn into the bullshit they're selling.

Today I woke up to find twitter flooded with #aristegui and #libertaddeexpresion tags because in a somewhat spineless maneuver the MVS management fired her after requesting on her show for the government to clarify once and for all if Felipe Calderon suffers from a disease known as alcoholism as a response for a shameful display of the loud monkey Noroña in the representatives chamber, tons of people that suffer from delusions that the poor condition of Mexico is only Calderon's fault lack the nerve, and the will to work hard and valiantly in order to restore sanity to this country, pointing fingers has always been easier , how dares a jerk that drives like an ass and does not respect one way streets, or stop at the red light and the bribes an official (you know mexican "mordida") to question the ethical background of that son of a bitch senator that sells construction permits trough some acquaintances, or how do you expect to live in a country where crime is punished if you are giving your son money to bribe the teachers at school.
Mexico is in such a horrible condition because we Mexicans are not brave enough to respect the law all the time, mexicans only respect the laws when they choose to, all of these mercenaries that apparently came out of nowhere are the sons of inequity and abuse brought upon by men and women that thought they had the right to step on others.
And yet this is a country that has too many religious fanatics, baffling if you ask me.
Where in the bible says it is OK to be a criminal, a thief, a rapist, a corrupt officer but that if you give money to church all is forgiven.
No, Mexico is in this awful place because Mexicans are the victims of that picaresca /transa culture, we have what we deserve.
is our president and alcoholic, I really don't know, but with so many alcoholics driving in this nation, I would ask those stupid representatives, Who are you to pint fingers?
What have you done after 2006 in order to make Mexico a better place, all you and that idiotic AMLO have done is noise, making promises and blackmail the nation, you guys do not deserve to call yourselves the good ones, you are jerks that are also living the easy life of a semi elected official.

What happened to Aristegui was wrong, but this are not old times, when TV was the only way to get your message to the ones willing to listen, sadly most people are lazy enough that if Aristegui launched a podcast, the mental laziness of setting the RSS feed would make their "fiery" determination disappear. This not only happening in Mexico, in a lot of places there are schemes to limit the freedom of speech, and while conventional wisdom says Aristegui should have restrained from asking the question, the truth is, the only media worthy of our attention is the one willing to place itself in harm's way .
A global tendency for crackdown, that is worrisome, yet mexicans like to make huge dramas of thing they don't even begin to fathom

Bought these, but I have not tested them yet, and you know you need to try headsets for several days in order to draw conclusions, while I get to that point, I found these on the tubes.

This kid loses focus really easy, but I do like kittens .

Be Strong a Crysis 2 trailer

Yo ya compré este juego (una ofertototota en diciembre 2010) y ahora sólo esperamos ese 22 de marzo.

Si nunca has jugado crysis (¿eres uno de esos que juegan en consola?) aquí un breve recuento de las capacidades de EL traje.

Crysis 2 minimum system requirements ..is that it?

Crysis became so infamous for making lesser PCs cry for its inadequacy that even to this day the people with nothing better to do still flood posts about new rigs, cpus, vidcards with the sempiternal question

....but will it run Crysis?

As stated on this blog in December, there was a time when the people at crytek boated that crysis would never be seen on consoles because the hardware was just too lame, but, you know what they say, Talk is cheap and now, here we are, Crysis 2 will be playable with a gamepad ......, it was good news for people that want to play on older hardware, I mean, X-box 360 was released on 2005 and even a computer from that time is more capable (the software sadly is not as polished) and you know what?, with today's announcement of the minimum requirements we have confirmation that the leap is not as big.+

Directx 9 is OK again, you can still use Windows XP, a 2006 CPU and a 2007/2008 gpu is more than enough (I reckon most of those 8800 already committed suicide)
Of course the maximum or recommended specs are not available yet, but unless they aren't afraid burning the console buyers with really better graphics, load times and effects we will not see something that demands upgrades .

• Internet connection required for activation
• OS: XP/Vista/Windows 7
• CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 x2 2Ghz or better
• 2GB RAM
• HDD: 9GB
• DVD ROM: 8x
• GPU: NVIDIA 8800 GT 512MB RAM or better
• Audio DirectX 9.0c compatible
• Keyboard, mouse, or Microsoft Xbox 360 controller for Windows

Bravo Dr. Fields

Como les comenté, gracias a los chistesistos del Dr. Fields, ahora he estado buscando trabajo, y esa búsqueda (en la que se logro colar el Dr. Fields, sólo para entorpecerla) me ha llevado a diferentes lugares de mi pasado y parece que futuro.

Por ejemplo tuve que pasar por el piojero de los macuarros y la plaza de toros donde se reúnen a ver como matan a un animal y no para comérselo o protegerse del clima. (si, nunca voy a cambiar de opinión, y la "fiesta brava" me parece un crimen.

También fui a una escuela en Lomas Verdes, y parece que mis pasos se encaminarán en esa dirección en pocos días.

¿se han puesto a pensar en lo anónimo de la investigación?

Los estudiantes de posgrado trabajamos en estas estructuras que recuerdan la Rusia Sovietica, es como si fuéramos una sociedad colectivista y aquí "en casa" tuvieramos que dejar de sobresalir. :P

Este es mi lugar, y los de mis vecinos, todos nosotros estaremos trabajando con tribología.

¿ya vieron mi entrada en el concurso enter? Creada en la compu de la foto, mi amada AO521

Esos son los lugares codiciados, junto a la ventana, y con escritorios cubriendote.

Esto es un laboratorio después de todo, si hay máquinas aquí....que no tengo idea como funcionan.

Acá andamos en la zona d elos gallineros, perdón, salones provisionales de la ESIME Zacatenco, por cierto, hoy leí de las opciones que existen ahora en los nivels superior y medio superior del politecnico, que como desearía hubierán existido cuando yo estaba en la vocacional, no me hubiera tardado toda la vida en salir del bachillerato, puedes esquivar maestros problemáticos, tomar clases en otra escuela, incluos en otra institución......en fin.

Esta es la vista trasera. desde el lab,

Y si quieren visitarnos allá en Zacatenco, tienen que llegar a esta zona.

Twitter como muestra representativa de lo mal que estamos

Hace ya unos cuatro años cuando twitter todavía estaba libre del reflector de la televisión, y yo colaboraba en otros blogs, solía defenderlo, decía que si te parecía que era patético, era porque seguías a gente patética, pero luego de verdad de lleno de basura, comenzó a salir en TV, llegó Merólico Arreola y el caminito del pejendejo, en las últimas semanas por los chistesitos del Dr. Fields he estado muy ocupado en "el mundo real" (también apodado 1.0)y sólo he sido espectador, pero de verdad me dan pena mis paisanos, el asunto de Kalimba como si fuera una noticia de verdad importantes, y no sólo eso, una serie de chistes que hacen evidente lo que siempre he dicho, un problema de racismo que nunca se resolverá porque no se admite que existe en México , ahora, la gente cree que su orgullo (que nunca entenderé) nacional tiene que salir a flote cuando en un programa británico una bola de hombres que no son ni diplomáticos, ni comediantes hacen bromas de estereotipos de mexicanos, cunado en México (como en todo el mundo) nos encantan esgrimir nuestros prejuicios y obtenemos una buena carcajada a expensas de otros, ¿qué? ¿ustedes nunca se han reído de un chiste de gallegos? ¿o de esos chiste de "Estaban un alemán, un mexicano y un chino en un avión?¿qué no están pecando d elo mismo cuando deciden que todos los asiáticos son "chales" o que todos son chinos?

Por dios, México es un país racista y lo único que se les ocurre en medio de tantos problemas de corrupción e impunidad es "indignarse" por lo que gente que nunca ha vivido la realidad mexicana pueda decir...en serio, que mal estamos, hoy en Gudalajara se dejaron escuchar los ecos de la guerra por hacerse del país...y ustedes acá peinandose su penacho por un comentario de un show de tV.


¿ya les dije que no mamen y que le bajen a su consumo de TV?
en lo que si se nota que esos tíos ya estaban encarrilados es que le faltaron aun diplomático
