O estoquista de supermercado João Antunes da Silva foi preso acusado de violência infantil na tarde de hoje em Piraporinha de Meu Deus (PR). Ele chegou em casa com dezoito sacolas contendo o material escolar exigido pela escola do filho P.A.S. e contou à criança, que brincava na sala, quanto havia gastado.

Em prantos, o garoto se escondeu debaixo da cama e começou a gritar “ministro Mantega” seguido de muitos palavrões, o que chamou a atenção dos vizinhos. O pai foi preso em flagrante.

O caso chocou até os mais experientes funcionários do conselho tutelar da cidade de Piraporinha: “Em mais de 30 anos de profissão, eu nunca ouvi falar num caderno espiral custar 50 reais”, disse Jefferson de Souza.

Catherine Rampell reports:

While engineers, mathematicians and scientists today are (unfairly) stereotyped as awkward nerds who don’t know how to interact with the opposite sex, in 1950 they were among the occupations most likely to be married. Today, the most commonly conjugated occupations are instead more often medical professionals with doctorates, starting with dentists (81 percent of whom are hitched)…

The top of the list looks like this:

1) Dentist
2) Chief executive
3) Sales engineer
4) Physician
5) Podiatrist
6) Optometrist
7) Farm product buyer
8) Precision grinder
9) Religious worker
10) Tool and die maker

We also learn this:

Turns out that in 1950, many of the occupations whose members were most likely to end up divorced were creative or artistic ones (artist, writer/director, dancer, designer, writer), which perhaps reflects the communities that were most accepting of divorce at the time. In 2010, the occupations with the highest divorce rates were predominantly in manufacturing or other areas that have been subject to downsizing (drilling machine operator, knitter textile operative, force operator, winding machine operative, postal clerk). This seems to support the idea that economic stability is a good predictor of marital status.

A Polícia Federal vai investigar quem roubou blocos do prédio sede da Petrobras (foto abaixo). De acordo com o delegado Aurélio Ferreira, o prédio um dia já foi inteiro e começou a ser roubado aos poucos, mas não chamar a atenção. “Eles começaram levando pequenos pedaços mas estava na cara que um dia alguém ia perceber”.

A polícia agora vai investigar se os dirigentes da Petrobras sabiam ou não sobre o roubo. Procurada pela reportagem, a presidente da Petrobras, Graça Foster, disse através de sua assessoria que o prédio está completo e que não há nada de errado com ele. Já a presidente Dilma Rousseff afirmou que “no que se refere ao prédio ele está exatamente do jeito que devia ser”, afirmou.

SVALT today announced the launch of a new cooling dock designed for Apple MacBooks and select PC laptops, which the company promises offers a 12x improvement in cooling, 129 percent improvement in CPU power, and 53 percent improvement in CPU Turbo Boost by eliminating CPU throttling due to heat issues.

Created from solid aluminum and designed to match up with the style of Apple's MacBooks, the two-pound SVALT D is compact and holds a closed MacBook vertically in a dedicated ledge. A 12-volt fan sends air through the laptop's closed screen to reduce system temperatures while allowing GPU resources to be used for an external display.

Transform your laptop with a level of performance and functionality previously limited to the highest-end desktop computers. Heat buildup in the laptop negatively impacts performance and long term durability. Anchored by the passive cooling capacity of a highly engineered 2 pounds of aluminum, SVALT D enhances cooling with a 12-volt 80x25mm fan to drive airflow through the laptop's closed screen position air vent. Airflow is directed over the internal electronic components and bottom panel, feeding cool air into one or more of the laptop's fans and driving waste exhaust air out vents, flushing out heat.

The company says that real world results using the SVALT D will depend on the laptop used, the workload, and ambient temperatures, but it detailed testing on a 2012 11-inch MacBook Air:

- Fan: Red 1600-1700RPM
- Environment: 21 Celsius +/-1 and 50dB +/-5 office standards
- Cooling: 13C increase without SVALTTM D verses 1C increase with SVALTTM D
- Power: 0.748W increase with SVALTTM D verses -2.616W reduction without SVALTTM D
- Turbo Boost: 1.000GHz increase and sustained max Turbo Boost with SVALTTM D verses a throttled 0.653GHz increase without SVALTTM D
- Noise observation: slightly louder than background noise at 2ft from front

The dock ships with a power supply and it can be used with the fan on or off. There are two fan options -- a higher-powered red fan that runs at 1700RPM/15 dBA and a quieter Yellow fan that runs at 1200RPM/12 dBA.

The SVALT D works with current-generation MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro computers, including 11, 13, and 15-inch models. The SVALT D is currently in production, and the company plans to begin taking orders in February. The dock will be priced between $130 and $150.

While Apple is rumored to be aiming for March as the launch month for the Apple Watch, Chinese company Hyperdon was at CES selling fake versions of the new Apple product called Smart Watch, according to Mashable.

The watch's screen only displays when it's turned on, and many of its icons are blatant ripoffs of Apple designs. The pairing process took a few tries, but once connected to my iPhone 6, I was able to make phone calls and play music through the watch. It even vibrates when I get a call.

Mashable was able to purchase the watch for $27. It comes with a pedometer, stopwatch, alarm and a feature referred to as "Anti lost", which Mashable estimated could be used to alert a user to when the watch is out of Bluetooth range.

The Smart Watch also has notifications from WeChat and other apps, but it requires downloading a "sketchy-looking APK" that appears to only work with jailbroken iPhones. It charges via USB cable and Hyperdon claims it can last for "up to 180 hours". Mashable was not able to test this claim. Hyperdon says it sells its products in retail stores in the U.S. and China, but did not detail where its locations are.

Apple has continually suffered from counterfeit Apple products in China, with authorities breaking up counterfeit iPhone rings and shutting down fake Apple Stores.

A privacy glitch in Spotlight search for OS X may leak private details, including IP addresses, to email spammers. The flaw was first reported by German tech news site Heise and replicated in tests performed by IDG News Service.


The issue affects OS X mail users who have followed conventional security recommendations to turn off the "load remote content in messages" option in the Mail app. This setting prevents the loading of remote content such as images, including "tracking pixels" that are used by spammers to harvest information when people open an email.

A glitch arises when OS X Mail users utilize Spotlight search in OS X, which includes emails in the search results. Spotlight ignores the remote content block preference from Mail and loads the remote email files as part of the search process. Once Spotlight loads one of these tracking pixels, spammers can glean details such as the IP address, OS X version, browser details, and the version of Quick Look being used.

The Spotlight preview loads those files even when users have switched off the "load remote content in messages" option in the Mail app, a feature often disabled to prevent email senders from knowing if an email has arrived and if it has been opened. What's more, Spotlight also loads those files when it shows previews of unopened emails that landed directly in the junk folder.

Currently, the only way to block this information leak is to block Spotlight from including emails in search results entirely by opening System Preferences and unchecking the "Mail & Messages" option for Spotlight. Apple has yet to comment on this Spotlight privacy glitch.

O Honda CR-V 2015 chega ao mercado europeu com uma importante inovação tecnologia, o controle de cruzeiro adaptativo preditivo. O dispositivo permite não só controlar a velocidade em relação ao carro que vai a frente, mas também monitorar o que está em volta e até evitar uma colisão.

Desenvolvido pelo centro de P&D da Honda na Europa, o chamado i-ACC utiliza câmera digital e sensores ultrassônicos com faixa de onda milimétrica, que permite monitorar os veículos que estão ao lado ou atrás do CR-V 2015, alertando o condutor e até mesmo agir de forma autônoma para evitar uma colisão.

A previsão chega a 5 segundos e se o condutor não tomar uma atitude, o i-ACC entra em ação, acionando levemente os freios para evitar uma batida. O alerta é feito antecipadamente para não pegar o condutor de surpresa. Por enquanto, ele será oferecido apenas na Europa, pois os parâmetros analisados são característicos do trânsito daquele continente.

A noticia Honda CR-V 2015 ganha controle de cruzeiro adaptativo que monitora o trânsito foi publicada no site Notícias Automotivas - Carros.

Mangalitsa is a natural breed of pigs from Europe that are descended directly from wild boar populations. The Mangalitsa pig is unusual as it grows a hairy ‘fleece’, akin to that of a sheep.
