What Are Your Favorite Twitter Bots to Follow?

Earlier in August, it was reported that 8.5 percent of Twitter users, or 23 million accounts, were not actually people but bots, autonomous accounts that post without any human interaction. Twitter refuted this claim saying it was much closer to 5 percent, but that's still a big chunk of users. So now I'm wondering, should I be following any of these twitter bot accounts?

El engañoso arte empleado en las imágenes de comida en los anuncios

Conocía algunos de estos trucos, pero no tantos: quienes fotografían y filman anuncios sobre todo tipo de alimentos emplean…

• aceite de motor para simular miel o sirope


• pegamento o champú como si fuera leche, en los cereales


• laca para el pelo para que las frutas y vegetales se vean frescas


• pastillas efervescentes para crear burbujas en los refrescos


• puré de patata coloreado que se hace pasar por helados


• desodorante para darle frescura a las uvas


• etc…

Así que sería mejor que cuando comas algo te asegures que no fue la muestra que se usó para rodar un anuncio (¡puaj!) La sensación que deja esto es un poco la misma que cuando comparas los anuncios de comida rápida con la cruda realidad: sencillamente lamentable, aunque de momento no parece que haya trabas legales al respecto.

Apple Watch opens the doors for luxury TAG Heuer smartwatch

Thought that the speculated $1,200 price tag for 18-karat gold Apple Watch Edition is pricey? Think again. Luxury Swss watch-maker TAG Heuer, part of the LVMH lifestyle brand umbrella, has confirmed plans that it will enter the smartwatch market after Apple's announcement of the Apple Watch, though details were not given as to what platforms the forthcoming TAG Heuer smartwatch would work with.

"We want to launch a smartwatch at TAG Heuer, but it must not copy the Apple Watch," Tag Heuer's Jean-Calud Biver said, noting that we will see Swiss smartwatches displayed at the Basel watch show.

Apple does have some connections to TAG Heuer as the former had recruited the latter's VP of sales David Pruniaux prior to the launch of the Apple Watch.

We'll have to see how the TAG Heuer smartwatch will be designed and what price point it will hit when it debuts.

Are you excited to see a traditional watch-maker enter the smartwatch market?

Eager iPhone 6 buyers already lining up in London

Whatever you're doing on this fine Sunday evening, if you're reading this you're likely not already in line to buy the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. Right? Despite Apple offering pre-orders and in-store reservations this year for the launch, there is already a tent pitched outside the British flagship store on Regent Street, London as spotted by the team over at Techview.

Of course, people lining up to buy the latest iPhone isn't at all uncommon, and at Regent Street in particular literally thousands of eager buyers descend on launch morning. With 5 days to go, whoever's inside the tent is going to have to endure the best part of a week on one of London's busiest shopping streets. Maybe they missed the pre-orders?

Come Friday (OK, maybe Thursday night) we're going to begin venturing out ourselves, as are many of you. What's the earliest you ever lined up for a new iPhone? And where and when are you planning on doing it this year?

Dilemas morales y experimentos mentales: el coche sin conductor

Uno de esos dilemas que tanto nos gustan por las capas y capas de análisis que plantean de una forma extremadamente simplificada y fácil de entender:

Vas por la carretera a bordo de tu coche sin conductor, uno de esos supermodernos que negocian los obstáculos y son capaces de reaccionar ante cualquier cambio. Te aproximas a un túnel. De pronto, un niño pequeño se cruza frente al coche. La situación es tal, que si el coche sigue su marcha, atropellará al niño, matándolo. Pero si se desvía para salvarlo, se estrellará inevitablemente contra las paredes y te matará a ti.



¿Qué debe hacer el coche?

De entre todas las soluciones ético-morales una interesante es recurrir a las famosas tres leyes de la robótica de Asimov, que bien podrían ir implantadas de serie en todos los dispositivos autónomos inteligentes: por desgracia es probable que sus cerebros positrónicos acabaran fundidas, como les ocurría a muchos robots de las novelas del genio de la ciencia-ficción.

Quizá, como se explica al final del texto, idear una función aleatoria y aplicarla sería la más justa de las soluciones – al menos la más parecida al MundoReal™: quizá no contentaría a todo el mundo, pero tampoco haría a nadie culpable de lo que sucediera.
