google updates


Si sos empleado de MSFT, división Office, estás muy asustado de la oferta de Google de "take the cloud with you".

Por otro lados, si te pusiste triste cuando supiste que había muerto Artur C. Clarke, te pondrás contento con el lanzamiento de Virgle, proyecto conjuto de Virgin y Google para colonizar Marte a partir de 2014. Hay un formulario para anotarse y todo.

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, CBE, Sri Lankabhimanya (16 December 1917 – 19 March 2008) was a British (lived in Sri Lanka since 1956) science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, most famous for the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, written in collaboration with director Stanley Kubrick, a collaboration which led also to the film of the same name; and as a host and commentator in the British television series Mysterious World.[2][3]

Clarke served in the Royal Air Force as a radar instructor and technician from 1941-1946, proposed satellite communication systems in 1945[4][5] which won him the Franklin Institute Stuart Ballantine Gold Medal in 1963 and a nomination in 1994 for a Nobel Prize, and 1999 for literature [6], and became the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1947-1950 and again in 1953.[7] Later, he helped fight for the preservation of lowland gorillas[8][9] and won the UNESCO-Kalinga Prize in 1962.[10]

Clarke was knighted in 1998.[11] He emigrated to Sri Lanka in 1956 largely to pursue his interest in scuba diving,[12] and lived there until his death.

(1) Cuando copiás y pegás textos de la Wikipedia, podrías al menos borrar los números de referencia a citas, porque así queda muy como que no lo leíste. Te lo digo de onda, ¿entendés?

(2) ¿Estos yanquis imperialistas ahora van por Marte?

(3) Seguro que Lousteau antes de convertirse en Ministro de Economía era igual a vos.
