Preşedintele Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, a anunţat ieri lansarea noii generaţii de computere , Microsoft Surface. Acesta a precizat că tehnologia “Surface” (Suprafţă) va sparge barierele dintre oameni şi tehnologie.

Un computer “Surface” poate recunoaşte obiectele fizce şi permite manipularea tactila, oferind control direct asupra conţinutului digital stocat: fotografii, filme, harţi sau muzică.

Computerul cu “suprafaţă dinamică” aduce interacţiunea în prim plan, posesorul putând controla conţinutul prin gesturi naturale. Oamenii vor putea naviga pe internet sau vor asculta muzica prin simpla atingere a suprafeţei computerului.

Sistemul Surface va fi lansat pe piaţa la sfarsitul anului 2007. Preţul variază între 5.000 si 10.000 de dolari.

viata e prea scurta sa o o lasam sa treaca pe langa noi… incercati sa faceti toate lucrurile la timpul lor si invatati din greselile voastre ca sa nu faceti aceiasi greseala de doua ori… si… cel mai important: nu va complicati viata degeaba, nu are rost

subsemnatul a intrat in coma alcoolica dupa ce a baut 2 sticle de vodka de contrabanda fiind sub influenta a doua pastile de extasy pe care si le administrase dupa ce a fumat o tigara de marijuana pe care si-a aprinso imediat dupa ce terminase de fumat dintr-o narghilea cu opiu in care pusese whisky

… a aflat de la altii cum a ajuns acasa

in viatza totul este constant si reciproc: faci rau si ti se intoarce inapoi… faci bine si ramai cu facutul… si totusi unii se incapataneaza sa faca doar bine(i am one of them)

In ancient Greece, the Cybernaut was the person who steered the boat. He got the boat to its destination by keeping it on course. The boat didn’t stay on course. It was continually off course. The wind blew it off course. And the waves pushed it off course. The Cybernaut had to continually change the course of the boat to keep it going where he wanted it to go. The boat reached its destination only because someone steered it. A famous acrobat was asked how he kept his balance on a tightrope. He said, he never kept his balance. He was always losing it. When he veered to one side, he leaned to the other. It was a constant struggle to keep from falling off. A body walks a tightrope only because it is carefully controlled, because it is always falling one way or the other.
Back to the boat!
If you wanted to sail from Sparta to Athens, would you just get on the boat and let it go where it willed? Or would you continually steer it to keep it on course? Which method would lead you to Athens and which would lead you somewhere else, perhaps round in circles, or on the rocks? The answer is obvious, isn’t it? Your boat will only reach its destination if someone steers it. So much is really obvious. But do we apply this knowledge in our lives? Do we lead our lives in this way? Or do we hope that something will happen, or that someone will do what we want, (whether for their benefit or ours), so we can get what we want? Unless we do the steering then we will never attain our goals. In life we are constantly failing, and it is only by handling these failures that we keep on course and attain our goals. If we do not continually handle our failures, we will be like the Cybernaut who let his boat go where it floated. What would we say to a Cybernaut who allowed this to happen? Would you say he or she was kind, tolerant and granted freedom of choice by letting the boat go where it wanted, when the boat crashed onto the rocks and sank with all aboard? What about the Cybernaut who steered the ship where he or she wanted to go, a cybernaut who did his own thing, and took us all to Troy when we wanted to go to Athens? This one is better than the previous one. At least we don’t end up on the rocks! But the good Cybernaut is one who takes others where they want to go or takes them where they
get what they want.
So in life you MUST be a Cybernaut. There is little choice. There are the rocks, there is going round in circles and there is the promised destination. To reach the promised destination, take the helm and steer your life in the direction you want for the benefit of us all.

uitate atent la ei, la piretenii tai: sunt de partea ta la bine, oare vor fi si la rau cu tine?!?!
