Welcome to CES 2015!

Oh hello! It's time again for the Consumer Electronics Show, that yearly bacchanal of gadgets, gizmos, and sweaty assurances that this is the year 3D printing will catch on (honest). We're here, as always, to share it with you.

Every NFL Playoffs streaming service, ranked

It's Wild Card weekend for the NFL, which means millions of people are watching playoff football on TV — and this year, streaming on the internet and mobile. Since every playoff game is being broadcast on a different network, that means watching all four games means dealing with four different networks' streaming service: ESPN, NBC, CBS, and Fox. And you have to deal with them, even if you've paid a ridiculous amount of money for DirecTV's Sunday Ticket streaming package, just like you have to be a Verizon customer to stream anything on mobile.

Nuestro Sistema Solar, según las atmósferas de sus ocho planetas

Esta bonita infografía sobre las atmósferas del sistema solar [que también puede verse ampliada] muestra cómo son los planetas de nuestro sistema solar en cuanto a su atmósfera, tanto los terrestres como los gigantes gaseosos.

Además de indicar los componentes principales se incluye una pequeña explicación sobre cada una de ellas, desde la del suavemente denso Saturno a la apenas existente de Mercurio.

Por desgracia ninguno de los siete planetas del sistema solar que orbitan el Sol junto a la Tierra tienen apenas nitrógeno u oxígeno, que son los dos componentes que más nos gustan a los seres humanos, así que ni hablar de irse por ahí de parranda sin respiración autónoma. No hay manera.

En la web de la Planetary Society, que es donde lo vi, también añaden otras infografías sobre Plutón y algunas lunas de los grandes planteas; en algunas (como Titán) sí que hay grandes cantidades de nitrógeno, junto con otros gases, lo cual los hace más interesantes para una posible colonización.
