IPhone 5: A Dispatch From The Front Lines
businessweek.com
There were only about seven people camped outside Apple’s Fifth Avenue store on Sept. 17, waiting for the Sept. 21 release of the iPhone 5. In a one-hour period no fewer than a dozen journalists visited those seven people. This was the observer effect in full—the act of watching a thing didn’t just change the thing being watched, it was the thing itself.

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi...

Shen Mue III - Amazing!!!

By
Image
I'm just amazed that the Game Shenmue III (A game that imitates life) has recently achieved more than 6 MILLION DOLLARS in crowd funding through the website KICKSTARTER. Man alive! This is something else!!! Check it: http://shenmue.link/us-en/ Lembro desse jogo ser lançado em 1999! O primeiro Shenmue! Um jogo da Sega (que faliu), e que prometia algo super inovador! = Um jogo sobre a vida! Sem menus, sem pontos. Ele é um filme de vida real! Que teoricamente voce pode fazer "o que quiser"! Alem de conhecer bem a china! Muito interessante! Mas o mais interessante é que, sem fundos (devido a sega ter falido), o criador decidiu apelar aos fans através do site de investimento compartilhado KICKSTARTER. E conseguiu com isso levantar mais de 6 milhões de dólares! Como ele diz no site: DOS FAS PARA OS FAS! Incrível! Mais uma demonstração de que "WHERE THERE IS A WILL... THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY...!" Boa sorte aos criadores e parabéns aos fas! ...
