A Amazônia, segundo um morto e um fugitivo - ÉPOCA | Eliane Brum
Essa é a descrição mais bem feita da Amazônia que conheci. É lamentável que passados já oito anos as mesmas histórias não mudem.
Paulo Coelho escreveu essa semana um esclarecido post em seu blog sobre o SOPA e, hoje foi homenageado pelo thepiratebay.org

No caso concreto, à saciedade, está demonstrado que o cumprimento da ordem judicial de imissão na posse, para satisfazer o interesse de uma empresa, será à custa de graves danos à esfera privada de milhares de pessoas, pois a área objeto do litígio encontra-se não mais ocupada por barracos de lona, mas por um bairro inteiro, com mais de 1000 famílias residindo em casas de alvenaria. A desocupação da área, à força, não acabará bem, sendo muito provável a ocorrência de vítimas fatais. Uma ordem judicial não pode valer uma vida humana. Na ponderação entre a vida e a propriedade, a primeira deve se sobrepor
Apple’s Massive Numbers And Some Context
Mg Siegler, techcrunch.comSimply looking over the numbers, it might be hard to wrap your head around what Apple just announced for their Q1 2012 results. A company this big is not supposed to be able to nearly double revenue year-to-year. Nor are they supposed to…
Ou porque o SOPA e o PIPA, até de um ponto de vista absolutamente capitalista, são rematadas asneiras. “RT @ericspiegelman: Apple’s NET last QUARTER was $3 billion more than all of Hollywood’s GROSS box office receipts last YEAR.”
Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.

It’s Just Stuff — Shawn Blanc
I may drive a Jeep because I’m a Colorado boy at heart, and I may own a charcoal grill because I like things “pure”, and I may own Apple gadgets because I have an affinity for fine software. So yes, you can tell a lot about me by the things I own. But they are just that — things. They can be stolen, broken, taken, and lost. They should never become distractions to the things that matter most, nor should I ever allow them to define my character, my relationships, and my beliefs.
Se há algo de revolucionário na Internet, o SOPA e o PIPA representam Termidor, a reação conservadora, que pretende restaurar uma ordem que deixou de fazer sentido neste universo.
Infidelity makes a good president
AVISO: o raciocínio abaixo não é piada. Ele foi elaborado por um psicólogo da Fox pra referendar N.Gingrich
1) Three women have met Mr. Gingrich and been so moved by his emotional energy and intellect that they decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with him. 2) Two of these women felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married. 3 ) One of them felt this way even though Mr. Gingrich was already married for the second time, was not exactly her equal in the looks department and had a wife (Marianne) who wanted to make his life without her as painful as possible. Conclusion: When three women want to sign on for life with a man who is now running for president, I worry more about whether we’ll be clamoring for a third Gingrich term, not whether we’ll want to let him go after one.

Famous Photogs Pose With Their Most Iconic Images
By Jakob Schiller, wired.com
Muito interessantes essas metafotografias.
Vada a bordo, cazzo!
A história pode não ser verdadeira, mas é sensacional:
After his retirement he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner and some Italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should chose an Italian ship. “There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship” said Churchill. “First their cuisine is unsurpassed. Second their service is superb. And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first”.

Pages e o Keynote em um único aplicativo. Pode parecer estranho, mas há muito tempo sonhava com um aplicativo como este. Uma idéia do que ele é capaz pode ser vista aqui ( http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1201oihbafvpihboijhpihbasdouhbasv/event/index.html)
Imagine as possibilidades para além do mercado de livros-texto. Eu já estou fazendo isso.
Curating is the next trend on the Web, but US$ 12,50 per month?! That’s pure greed
Why curators should care about SOPA/PIPA Scoop.it
Churchill used to say: “In England, everything is permitted, except that which is forbidden. In Germany, everything is forbidden, except that which is permitted. In France, everything is permitted even that which is forbidden. In the USSR, everything is forbidden, even that which is permitted.”
DMCA is England; the Movie Industry thinks it’s France and wants us to be in Germany but this could end up in the USSR.
More on why this matters for curators on the Scoop.it blog. Join the debate and make your voice heard!

O que a Apple lançará amanhã e NY? que tal uma app que unifique e simplifique o iWork e o faça produzir ebooks? algo como um papel digital para tudo. A ver.
