Gracias Pablo Moretto por compartir la nota! Como siempre, geniales aportes :)

Suena raro, pero ahora se puede entrar a Flickr – que es de Yahoo!, que está asociado con Microsoft – usando tu cuenta de Google.

En realidad Flickr anunció que Google será su primer socio en la introducción de OpenID en sus cuentas. Esto significa que desde hoy podrás registrarte en el servicio de imágenes con una cuenta Google.

Quienes ya tengan una cuenta de Flickr tendrán que seguir usando sus identidades de Yahoo para entrar, aunque Flickr afirmó que está trabajando para que esto se vuelva más fácil.

Para la gran cantidad de gente que tiene una cuenta de Google, lo bueno es que podrá decidirse por Flickr en lugar de usar Picasa. Para los usuarios de Yahoo… hay cada vez menos razones para hacerse una cuenta en Yahoo.

Al final el gran ganador es OpenID, que tiene como misión hacer más fácil a los usuarios registrarse y entrar a sus servicios online, usando un único estándar en lugar de tener múltiples cuentas.

Silenciosamente, aparecen las 5xx de Nvidia…

Poco ruido y aún menos pocas nueces… Que aparece de la generación 500 de Nvidia, como respuesta al lanzamiento de las 6000 de Ati? Si. Fotos (solo 2 y en forma de rumor…). Más rebranding muchachos?… Sip. Lo mejor que puede hacer la “Postura oficial” es seguir manteniendo el silencio…

Alleged Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 Image Emerges

Nvidia's Next-Gen Flagship GeForce GTX 580 Gets Pictured.

by Anton Shilov
Two pictures of a graphics card that is claimed to be Nvidia Corp.'s next-generation flagship product has emerged on a Chinese web-site. While there are no proves that the graphics card is indeed the new high-end product from Nvidia, it does not look like anything that is currently available from the company or its partners.
The images were published by Chinese-language PCinlife web-site with the claim that they represent Nvidia GeForce GTX 580, the company's forthcoming flagship product based on the code-named GF110 graphics processing unit (GPU). There are no evidences - besides the claim - that the pictured graphics board is indeed the GTX 580 and not something else powered by either Nvidia's current-generation chip or yet unknown processor.

The quality of the pictures suggests that they were taken from an official presentation by the company. This may be a prove that the product is indeed real and if it is indeed the GTX 580, then it may be weeks or months away.

Unfortunately, the images themselves do not reveal a lot of information about the alleged GeForce GTX 580. Based on what we see, the card has two DVI-I outputs as well as an HDMI connector, which means that the novelty does not support technologies like ATI Eyefinity that support up to six displays per card. The cooling system is rather big, but not too advanced, which may indicate that power consumption of the product depictured is not too high.
Regrettably, at the moment we know almost nothing about the GeForce GTX 580 graphics card. Earlier reports claimed that the novelty was based on a new code-named GF110 graphics processing unit that has 512 stream processors along with other improvements. Given the fact that Nvidia already has experience with GF100 with 512 SPs and its costs, it is logical to expect Nvidia to maintain the number of stream processors and refine the design of the chip rather than to design a chip with higher amount of execution units.
Nvidia has already confirmed the refresh of the whole Fermi lineup in 2011.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Argentina bids farewell to a president

Nestor Kirchner, president of Argentina from 2003 to 2007, and husband to current president Cristina Fernandez, died of a heart attack on Wednesday, October 27th, at the age of 60. Kirchner was widely expected to run for a second term in a presidential election next October. Today, thousands of Argentinians filed past a flag-draped coffin to pay their respects to the former President, then lined the capital's rain-slicked streets for a glimpse of his hearse as it passed by. Kirchner's remains will be flown to the southern region of Patagonia, where he was born, for burial. Collected here are recent images from Argentina as it bids farewell. (22 photos total)

Propiedades beneficiosas de la Cerveza

Hace unos días, Fernando Marchal, un amigo de la casa, publicaba este artículo en Facebook, el cual me encantó para compartirlo con ustedes, haciendo la previa de la reunión de borrachines :)

Desde siempre muchas personas han tendido a demonizar a la cerveza considerándola una bebida que no nos aportaba nada más que calorías y que era la principal culpable de muchos problemas de sobrepeso. Es cierto que el consumo de alcohol nunca es recomendable por los efectos que tiene, pero existen variedades de cerveza sin alcohol que nos aportan infinidad de beneficios. Queremos hacer hincapié en lo que nos aporta una cerveza sin alcohol. 

La cerveza está elaborada a partir de materias primas naturales, como la cebada, de ahí que tenga grandes propiedades que nunca podemos pasar por alto. Además, a la cerveza sin alcohol contiene otra serie de sustancias que son igual de beneficiosas para la salud, como la malta, que esté presente en grandes cantidades. Ésta se obtiene de la cebada y nos aporta infinidad de hidratos de carbono y vitaminas que el organismo necesita. Pero este componente no es el único, sino que existen otros muchos. 

El lúpulo es otro de los componentes que nos encontramos en una cerveza. Es lo que le da su característico sabor amargo, pero además tiene otra serie de beneficios como su poder relajante y estimulador del apetito en casos en los que el hambre no nos acompañe. Junto a esto las levaduras que se utilizan en la elaboración de la cerveza son algo muy beneficioso para el organismo, ya que se trata de los hongos que se utilizan en el proceso de fermentación de esta bebida y que nos ayudan a mantener un sistema digestivo en perfectas condiciones, ayudándonos a hacer que funcione mejor. 

La cerveza es una bebida carbonatada, y como tal contiene gas carbónico, pero con unas cualidades un tanto especiales, ya que el tipo de gas que nos aporta lo que hace es ayudarnos a mejorar la circulación sanguínea y con ella el proceso digestivo y de asimilación de los nutrientes por parte del organismo. No hay que olvidar que además contiene altas cantidades de antioxidantes, recomendables para mantener las células en perfectas condiciones. 

Las vitaminas también ocupan un papel importante en esta bebida, y es que concretamente encontramos altas cantidades del vitaminas pertenecientes al grupo B, vitamina D, E y C, todas ellas necesarias en el organismo para el funcionamiento perfecto de todas y cada una de sus partes. Por ello es necesario que incluyamos la cerveza sin alcohol en nuestra dieta. Aunque ya sabemos que todo en su justa medida, no debemos nunca pasarnos.
