A still from a new high-tech production of Berlioz's "Damnation de Faust," premiering this weekend at the Met. An "interactive opera," the production synthesizes performers and sets through technology: flocks of digital birds fly in sync with an aria, video grass parts its blades for oncoming soldiers, high-def water reflects a passing boat, a JumboTron mirrors a singer's love song in flames. To bolster his argument that the technology is appropriate, [director Robert] Lepage cites ...

Medir la agudeza visual de una persona significa comparar qué tan bien ve con respecto a lo que se considera normal.El instrumento más usado para medir la agudeza visual es la Cartilla de Snellen y la notación más común es el cociente en pies.La cartilla que diseñó el Dr. Snellen en Holanda en 1864 empezó siendo un sistema empírico, que daba un valor a la agudeza visual de alguien comparándola con la agudeza visual de ...

Una de las aplicaciones que más uso actualmente es Google Calendar, ideal para no llegar tarde a ningún compromiso (99% de ellos virtuales).

Once word got out that the iPhone firmware 2.2 had been seeded to developers, the rumors mills started churning at maximum power. While speculation has been rampant, a source of ours stopped by to verify a few of the recently leaked features. Though we’re still waiting on one bit, we can positively confirm that Google Street View and application rating upon deletion are currently built into 2.2. Google Street View being added to the Maps ...

Los chicos de Spanning Sync tienen un robot que rastea Internet buscando todo tipo de referencias a su producto y luego las insertan en la portada de su web. Este proceso debe ser automático; o eso o no hay nadie en Spanning Sync que sepa español, porque si fuera de otra manera seguramente no aparecería en portada ahora mismo mi twitteo de hace unos días.

Gmail是Google的重要产品，用户也比较多。为了适合不同浏览器和各种移动设备的使用，Google开发出了十多种不同样式，还有点眼花缭乱： 普通版：http://mail.google.com/ ☆地球人都知道吧？ 加密版：https://mail.google.com/ ☆这个加密访问地址和Gmail一样年龄，不过还真有不少人不知道这好东西。基于两个理由，你需要使用这个加密地址：一是Gmail有时会受到G-F-W的关照，使用加密访问可以破墙；二是加密访问可以保护你的邮件不会再半途给人截取； 简化版：http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html ☆所谓简化版，就是当你的浏览器不支持Ajax时用的，功能上会简单许多，不过速度相对快。假如你用ie6或以下浏览器，建议用这地址访问。一般Gmail会根据浏览器和网速自动判断是否使用这个地址。 直通版：http://mail.google.com/mail?nocheckbrowser ☆Gmail每次会在登录前，判断浏览器适合打开那个Gmail版本。用个地址的话，可以避开判断动作，还想得真周到... 新版：https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2 ☆现在登录Gmail都自动进入这个版本。 旧版：https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1 ☆假如你比较怀旧，可以通过这个地址继续使用改版前的Gmail，在新版右上角也有这个按钮可以切换。 实验版(Gmail Labs)：https://mail.google.com/?labs=1 ☆当Gmail已经发展到无事可做时，推出了Gmail Labs功能，用来做些Gmail功能的实验，让每位用户使用和评论... 非实验版(Gmail Labs)：https://mail.google.com/?labs=0 ☆不喜欢Gmail的实验版，运行这个地址可以关闭。 移动版：https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=mobile 或 http://m.gmail.com/ ☆在移动设备上访问的地址，和Gmail 移动2.0是不一样的。这个是直接在移动设备上就可以访问的，而Gmail 移动2.0是在移动设备上通过安装软件来访问。 iPhone版：https://mail.google.com/mail/x/gdlakb-/gp/ ☆iPhone的特供产品，比移动版更适合iPhone访问。 iGoogle版：http://www.google.com/ig/gmailmax ☆专供iGoogle显示的版本，估计没有必要在浏览器中单独使用，除了耍下酷外。 地址版：https://mail.google.com/mail/contacts/ui/ContactManager ☆这个是专门访问Gmail地址簿的，很纯很管用... 还有遗漏的吗？有的话，请留言说明...

I’ve always loved ants. This summer I finally read the canonical, impractically massive book about them, The Ants. The Ants by Wilson and Hölldobler It’s changed the way I look at the world. Which is what happens whenever I dig deeply enough into pretty much any subject. For example, I never really noticed shadows in the real world until I had to create them by hand in virtual worlds. And now it’s like I’ve added ...

A couple of months ago I mentioned an interview with Nouriel Roubini, Economist and Professor at New York University. It turns out his assessment on the credit crisis was spot-on. Now he’s a busy man traveling all over the world, talking to people about crisis and what’s to be expected. Guess what? He fears the WORST is still to come! From the article: What does Roubini think is going to happen next? Rather worryingly, in ...
