Windows 10. GMUNK. ODESZA. #Windows10

Es la víspera de Windows 10, y si han sido buenos, mañana encontrarán software nuevo, de este que promete ser el "ultimo" Windows bajo el arbol, ya saben SAAS


Fico Assim Sem Você - Adriana Calcanhotto


Avião sem asa
Fogueira sem brasa
Sou eu assim, sem você
Futebol sem bola
Piu-Piu sem Frajola
Sou eu assim, sem você

Por que é que tem que ser assim?
Se o meu desejo não tem fim
Eu te quero a todo instante
Nem mil auto-falantes
Vão poder falar por mim

Amor sem beijinho
Buchecha sem Claudinho
Sou eu assim sem você
Circo sem palhaço
Namoro sem abraço
Sou eu assim sem você

Tô louco pra te ver chegar
Tô louco pra te ter nas mãos
Deitar no teu abraço
Retomar o pedaço
Que falta no meu coração

Eu não existo longe de você
E a solidão é o meu pior castigo
Eu conto as horas pra poder te ver
Mas o relógio tá de mal comigo

Eu não existo longe de você
E a solidão é o meu pior castigo
Eu conto as horas pra poder te ver
Mas o relógio tá de mal comigo

Por quê? Por quê?

Neném sem chupeta
Romeu sem Julieta
Sou eu assim, sem você
Carro sem estrada
Queijo sem goiabada
Sou eu assim, sem você
Você

Por que é que tem que ser assim?
Se o meu desejo não tem fim
Eu te quero a todo instante
Nem mil auto-falantes
Vão poder falar por mim

Eu não existo longe de você
E a solidão é o meu pior castigo
Eu conto as horas pra poder te ver
Mas o relógio tá de mal comigo

Eu não existo longe de você
E a solidão é o meu pior castigo
Eu conto as horas pra poder te ver
Mas o relógio tá de mal comigo

Por quê? Por quê?


Aunque hay otras versiones, como esta de Claudinho y Buchecha



O, ustedes me conocen, la versión super melosa de Michele Wankenne que en realidad es mi favorita

Dear Hard Work

Dear Hard Work,
I used to hate you,
When you called my name,
I heard it but ran away from you,
When I knew you were coming,
I used to hide from you,
When you influenced others to talk to me,
I quickly made excuses to get away from you.

Afraid of the pain because I didn't want to get hurt
Afraid to fail, so I didn't even try
Afraid of the shame that you might put me through and
Afraid of your name because of what you have done to others

Who do you think you are?
Making me so afraid of who you are?

Reflection in the mirror,
Shadow behind me,
I take one step and still,
Your ahead of me,

Sweat on my face, tears in my eyes,
I keep on going,
I heard you tell no lies,

You turn the poor to rich,
F to A's

Is there anything that you can't do?

Now look at me,
You made me who I am today,
and because of you,
I have this never losing, never giving up attitude

Quitting?
That is not in my vocabulary
When they quit, I keep going,
When they sleep, I work harder,
When they say that I can't and count me out, I show them that I can

When I tell them about my dreams,
And they laugh, I make sure I laugh last.

I'm a dream chaser, that means I chase my dreams, and not no one else's
Only I can defeat me,
It's me against this work you put on me,
There Is no losing -- I will not lose,
I came this far and I'm not stopping now

Oh hard work,
My dad was right about you, you do pay off, and because of that I love you.
How can I not?
I'm no longer hiding from you, I'm waiting for you.

Matter of fact, where are you?

I need you, because in hard work- I trust!

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


William Ernest Henley

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Game of Thrones - A Nest of Vipers #GoT



In this penultimate episode, the actions of every Forrester are vital to the survival of the house. Rodrik's alliance with House Glenmore, and his defiance of the Whitehills, has drawn the ire of an even greater threat: Ramsay Snow. Far across the Narrow Sea in Essos, with Meereen now a free city, Asher is close to securing the army he desperately needs to return home, and save his family. In King's Landing, Mira's activities at Tommen's coronation have not escaped the attention of Margaery Tyrell, and Cersei has realized that the handmaiden may prove useful in her political games. Finally, beyond the Wall, Gared's unlikely allies are reluctant to help in the search for the North Grove... but this far into the frozen wilds, Crows and Free Folk have a common enemy; and winter is coming.

Jar Of Hearts




I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time...

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart,
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me.
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

And I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts,
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of heart
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all!

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Always On My Mind




Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
 
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind

#BetheBatman - Arkham Knight Launch Trailer

Creo que ya no soy gamer gente ... me hubieran avisado antes de comprar la 980 y dejarle a mi primogénito empeñado al agente aduanal (mis enemigos naturales, junto a "los de sistemas")

Veamos si lo #batifag me hace volver un rato

No perdemos nada con probar

Adoptaremos esto:


"El compromiso es un asunto personal, es un requisito indispensable para obtener resultados en la vida y marcar una diferencia con el resto de las personas.
Falta de compromiso acarrea falta de resultados.
Si no estás orgulloso de tu trabajo, jamás serás exitoso. El grado de tu éxito determinará qué tan orgulloso puedes sentirte. El problema no es la carrera que hayas elegido, sino tu falta de compromiso."

Phone Companion App for Windows 10

Cortana o como quieras llamarle llega para quitarle fricción al paso de Android, iOS o Windows mobile a Windows 10.

Este Microsoft de ahora es Platform Agnostic y su enfoque sin ecosistemas cerrados suena muy bien, habrá que ver como se refleja en su market share y su valor percibido en los mercados.

sobre #ubersequeda

Sobre el tema de Uber hay muchas voces (ahí está el #ubersequeda) , pero creo que no mucho análisis.

De nuevo, el corto-plazismo y la estrechez de miras.


Uber no es parte de la Sharing economy, los que están prestando el servicio no lo hacen por "conocer gente" ni "no aburrirse en casa" , eso último es especialmente doloroso en la intransitable ciudad de México.

Para que uber exista tiene que haber una terrible desigualdad en ingresos, están los que pueden pagar (y en este caso prefieren uber porque son unidades en mejor estado y  con tarifas accesibles, sin taximetros alterados) y los que necesitan o quieren un ingreso sin tener que pasar por el burocrático esquema de las placas.

Aquí el ganador es uber, que recibe ingresos sin mucho riesgo o inversión (el software no cuesta más cuando se copia), no son en muchas ocasiones sus conductores, y tampoco lo son los taxistas que sienten que el esquema al que entraron no está siendo protegido.







Ahora bien, ya lo hemos dicho antes, cuando los gobiernos avientan leyes a competir con una tecnología, las cosas no mejoran.

Ahora uber será ilícito, más oportunidades de corrupción de las autoridades y agresiones por parte de los taxistas, y una base de usuarios que hace mucho ruido en redes sociales, pero no mucho más.

Aqui en serio nadie gana, ni los conductores de uber, ni los taxistas, y menos los usuarios.

Que podría haber pasado si los taxistas tuvieran que competir con uber, no sé, tal vez dejar de adueñarse los objetos olvidados, negar el servicio porque "no les queda", ponerle un aromatizante al auto y/o tenerlo en mejor estado, todas cosas que ahora no tendrán incentivo para implementar.

Otro miope

Sí, aquí voy...


La falta de auto critica y el victimismo es uno de los muchos problemas que nos lastran como sociedad,también la estrechez de miras.

Es muy cómodo "denunciar", "señalar como todos se equivocan" y hacerse el débil de la historia.

Gerardo García de motorpasión hizo na nota que está para llorar :


En ella, el autor acusa a las (malévolas) marcas fabricantes de automóviles de pagar menos que en otras partes del mundo, como si esa fuese una decisión que se hubiese tomado en un vacío, igual que hay que señalarle a los muy optimistas con el dinamismo del sector automotriz que esas inversiones en México no son caridad, ni regalos, al señor García habría que recordarle que los mismos mexicanos tenemos décadas dinamitando nuestros ingresos con discusiones sobre como el subir el salario mínimo sería una inflación en automático y unas relaciones obrero-patronales que son dignas de un cuento de terror.

Como pasa con gente que habita estados que después de la década de los 80s han visto caer su posición en la economía por no participar de sectores en crecimiento, el señor García no parece tener una perspectiva de largo plazo, y menos de ver "todo el cuadro" , tal vez debiera viajar más y platicar con la gente que labora en estas plantas, y en todos niveles, no sólo en la línea de producción, también con los ingenieros, compradores y demás labores de logística de los lugares donde se arman autos en México, en algunos casos las armadoras y sus empresas satélites son lo que permite que haya un modo de vida en ciertos lugares, en otros casos y en determinados perfiles son las mejores ofertas si uno no quiere mudarse, o bien, si uno en lugares como la ciudad de México no encuentra trabajo ligeramente bien pagado, tiene la opción de que sus estudios le permitan colocarse ahi como un primer trabajo.

La discusión que debemos tener es porque tenemos salarios tan bajos y prioridades tan malas.

STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5

Ese asesino de tarjetas de vídeo que la rata inmunda lo hizo de nuevo, mato una 470 de PNY (la segunda idéntica que exterminaba), la que asesinó era la mayor de las dos idénticas, dejando claro que el problema es él, que diga, el suministro de energía eléctrica en su morada.

Pues bien, la bien amada GTX680 (Kepler) de Asus, con lagrimas en los ojos se despidió de su casa, el Storm Striker y se fue a reemplazar a la caída.

Como emergencia la 650 del HTPC subió a suplir a su hermana mayor, aunque de momento no juego mucho, así que nunca se le exigió, sólo reprodujo unos cuantos episodios en bluray de The Clone Wars y algunos vídeos en Youtube de sables de luz personalizados (quiero uno) y regreso a la TV, no quería desarmar las dos computadoras, pero al menos me sirvió para darles "un trapazo".

STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5
Sin vídeo

Amazon (que ojalá si tenga estos elementos cuando abra su bodega en el estado de México) envió el reemplazo (cobrando una locura por la importación, espero lo reembolsen porque de otro modo la inanición será el resultado) de manera expedita, todo era miel sobre hojuelas, iba a estar aquí el lunes, y muy temprano, pero no, mis enemigos naturales, los agentes aduanales dispusieron de otra cosa, y la tenían que revisar, sin pulseras para proteger a esta pieza de la electricidad estática, a fuerza la tenían que revisar, no fuera yo a tener los planos para vender Pemex o que la droga viniera de Estados Unidos (¿si saben que es al revés?)



En fin...

STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5
STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5

Ya está aquí con todos sus puertos digitales.

STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5

Y no mentían, cuando estás en 2D los ventiladores ni siquieran trabajan.

STRIX-GTX980-DC2OC-4GD5

Solo corrí GTAV unos minutos, y vaya que es diferente la experiencia, con 4 gigas de memoria parece no tener problema (a diferencia de la debacle que fue la llegada de la 970 para nvidia)

Ya les contaré cuando por fin tenga tiempo de jugar, yo creo que (con suerte) será  junio con un tal Arkham Knight.
