Esta pizarra borrable con su rotulador es la encarnación física de un meme de Internet, en este caso el famoso Batman abofetenado a Robin. La idea es usarlo en casa o en la oficina como borrador rápido – aunque como desventaja puede que usar siempre el mismo meme resulte un poco cansino. (También existe en papel.)
Aprovecho para colar aquí la más científica de las versiones de este enormemente popular ¡ZAS!
– Batman, cierra la ventana que entra el frí… (¡ZASSS!)
– Segunda ley de la termodinámica: ¡¡¡Es el calor el que sale!!!

This puzzle would be a lot easier without the blindfold. Are you up for the challenge?
One of the selling points for modular smartphones like Project Ara or the Puzzlephone is that they reduce waste. But little has been said about how discarded modules could be put to use. Finland's Circular Devices, the company developing the Puzzlephone, has now revealed its answer to that question: it's called the Puzzlecluster, and it's a scalable supercomputer.
Reuse and reduce
The concept is pretty simple: when a Puzzlephone owner inevitably decides to upgrade their modular phone's "brain" (read: processor unit), the old module can be repurposed to power a versatile computer. With many different outdated smartphone CPUs combined, the cluster should have enough processing power to make the Puzzlecluster a useful addition to...
The Pirate Cinema turns worldwide torrent traffic into art. The results are equally beautiful, chaotic, inspiring, maddening, and there's a slight chance that I can feel my brain melting.
Pero hace hoy cien años se estrenaba en los Estados Unidos la primera línea intercontinental, que conectaba Nueva York con San Francisco, tal y como se puede leer en Conference calls a waste of time? In 1915, this one made history .
11.000 kilómetros de cable de cobre, con un peso de 2.500 toneladas, junto con innumerables postes y un buen número de repetidores de válvulas diseñados por Lee De Forest hacían funcionar esta línea, en la que una llamada de 3 minutos costaba algo más de 400 euros al cambio actual.
Establecer la llamada no era automático, por supuesto, sino que las operadoras tenían que ir conectando unas centralitas con otras, lo que en el caso de esta primera llamada llevó unos 10 minutos.
Igual que con la primera llamada telefónica de la historia, 39 años antes, los primeros en hablar por esta línea intercontinental fueron Alexander Graham Bell y su ayudante, Thomas Watson.
Alexander Graham Bell, por cierto, no es el inventor del teléfono, a pesar de lo que se ha dicho durante muchos años, sino que lo es Antonio Meucci.
(Vía Heli Sulbaran gracias a un RT de @Joaquin_Sevilla… Casi como lo de establecer una de aquellas primeras llamadas).
Some insurance companies want to know if you use a smart thermostat to regulate your home's temperature and have a sensor that alerts when there's a water leak; in fact, they want to reward you for these smart home devices.

I'm getting acquainted with Sundance Hype, and now, on the morning of my fourth day at my first ever Sundance Film Festival, I think I'm ready to explain how it works.
Sundance Hype is like a game of telephone. We all arrive knowing nothing, but in an environment full of self-described insiders and reporters and Park City moms and other types of know-it-alls, having information becomes Goal #1 as soon as we hit main street. So you hear something — you read a tweet, you overhear a conversation on the shuttle — and the next time you find yourself making small talk in line or at a party and someone brings up a film you can say "Oh, that's supposed to be amazing."
With any luck, it is amazing, and the game of telephone helped motivate you...
