Google is taking Washington politics seriously. Like many other massive corporations, the company is working hard to gain and wield influence among lawmakers. After largely avoiding politics in its earlier years, the search giant has become one of the top five lobbying powers over the past two years. In 2012, it ranked above all others, save General Electric. It's only natural that a company as large as Google would be involved in politics, but the scale of its efforts in Washington — and the speed at which it's become a major player — is striking. The Washington Post has taken a fascinating deep dive into Google's efforts in politics, which extend beyond lobbying and campaign contributions to more innovative forms of steering the...
The Federal Aviation Administration has filed an appeal in the case against "commercial drone" pilot Raphael Pirker, accused of reckless operation of what's basically an R/C aircraft near the University of Virginia campus in 2011. Um, does this look reckless to you?
El «experto» vs. el resto del mundo: de cómo las reuniones entre empresas y clientes convierten a técnicos y «expertos» de todo tipo en vÃctimas colaterales, en lo que cuando empieza puede parecer una simple tarea que con el paso de los minutos comienza a descarriarse convirtiéndose en un kafkiano sinsentido de tamaño descomunal.
Y me parece a mi que en el mundo de la informática y las agencias de diseño, las dedicadas a Internet y a similares «mundos extraños y desconocidos» esto es el triste dÃa a dÃa.
Los actores son geniales, aunque les quedó un poco largo el sketch. Pero merece la pena verlo hasta el final (y tiene buenos subtÃtulos).

What an awesome way to end a book: literally in the last paragraph, and this gives away no spoilers, Michael Lewis's excellent Flash Boys drops a weird infrastructural mystery, right when you were ready to turn out the light and go to sleep. But, right there, in the final six sentences, Lewis lights a fire.
Chico andaluz –sevillano a más señas– conoce a chica vasca. Chicho se enamora hasta las trancas de la chica y se va a buscarla a su pueblo con la disculpa de que ella se dejó el bolso en su casa. Una vez allà termina por tener que hacerse pasar por vasco y por novio de la chica. Y las cosas se lÃan mucho, como no puede ser de otra forma en una comedia de enredo como esta.
No sé si Ocho apellidos tiene méritos o no como para haberse convertido en la pelÃcula más taquillera de la historia del cine español, aunque te puedes echar unas buenas risas viéndola, y más si eres vasco o andaluz.
Pero lo que me parece genial es que se haya podido hacer y estrenar una pelÃcula como esta sin que se hayan oÃdo gritos al boicot ni amenazas de quemar cines ni nada parecido, algo que hace unos años dudo que pudiera haber ocurrido.
De hecho al salir del cine me acordaba de una charla que tuve hace unos dÃas con mi amiga MarÃa.
Ella es de y vive en Pamplona y el pasado 11 de marzo, con motivo del décimo aniversario de los atentados de los trenes de Madrid, me comentaba que le habÃa tenido que explicar a sus hijos lo que era un atentado, pues no lo sabÃan.
Y eso de podernos reÃr de nuestras diferencias y manÃas sin que suponga un cataclismo y, sobre todo lo de tener que explicarle a los niños qué es un atentado, y me consta que no son los únicos niños a los que ha habido que explicárselo, es algo que hemos ganado en los últimos años, y no es poco.
