O candidato a prefeito de São Paulo José Serra (PSDB) distribuiu para as escolas paulistas, em 2009, quando era governador, um material semelhante ao que o MEC (Ministério da Educação), na gestão de Fernando Haddad (PT), começava a elaborar para combater a homofobia nas escolas. O guia do governo de SP é assinado por Serra, pelo então vice-governador Alberto Goldman e pelo então secretário estadual de Educação, Paulo Renato Souza (Leia a notícia aqui) Até um dos vídeos recomendados pelo kit tucano, "Boneca na Mochila", é igual ao que o ministério estudava divulgar.

Em 2008 a Esquire revolucionou a publicidade impressa trazendo algo que só existia em ficção científica: Anúncios com imagens em movimento. Uma tela de e-ink (na verdade duas, um anúncio dentro da revista também usava a tecnologia) mostrava fotos e textos animados. As baterias duraram meses, foi algo nunca antes visto, gerou mais Buzz que fábrica chinesa de boneco do Toy Story.

Agora, 4 anos depois, a Entertainment Weekly publicou um anúncio que fez o da Esquire parecer… mídia impressa. Publicidade da CW Network, a propaganda tem uma telinha que mostra nada menos que… Twits em tempo real.

Isso mesmo. Você abre a revista, uma telinha do anúncio exibe o que está sendo tuitado com a hashtag do canal.

COMO isso é feito? O pessoal do Mashable dissecou o anúncio, com uma voracidade digna de professor frustrado de faculdade de comunicação, revelando o mistério:

Nada menos que um celular Android, com uma bateria enorme e até uma porta USB para futura recarga do anúncio.

Isso mesmo: Um celular inteiro, rodando um programa específico, com um chip da T-Mobile! Os caras conseguiram até fazer ligações, meio sem-querer. O aparelho é um Android genérico, montado pela Foxconn.

A economia de escala chegou a esse ponto: Smartphones baratos o suficiente para serem distribuídos de graça, como publicidade em uma revista. Claro, a ação deve ter custado uma pequena fortuna, mas será algo comentado por anos, ninguém jogará fora a revista.

É algo tão ousado que o maior mérito não vai nem para quem criou, mas para quem aprovou. Também é uma senhora demonstração do ainda influente poder da mídia impressa. Uma ação dessas não teria sentido em qualquer outro formato,

Infelizmente dados os custos locais não acredito que encontremos algo assim numa Veja da vida. Nem pendrive, que hoje em dia é mais barato que mariola, colocam de brinde. Que dirá um celular. Tecnologia “embarcada” em revistas, só o faqueiro da Caras.

PS: Agradecimentos ao Roniuj por ter gentilmente me enviado a Esquire com e-ink.

Dois homens foram impedidos de frequentar um restaurante buffet livre de culinária mongol na cidade britânica de Brighton porque comem demais. George Dalmon e Andy Miles, ambos de 26 anos, vinham frequentado o restaurante Gobbi duas vezes por semana há dois meses, tirando proveito da oferta de 12 libras (cerca de R$ 24) por refeições ilimitadas no estabelecimento. Mas após terem comido cinco pratos do buffet livre em sua última visita, Dalmon e Miles foram chamados de ''porcos imundos'' e barrados pelo proprietário do local, a quem chamaram de ''grosseiro''.

The electric lighbulb, the phonograph, and the movie camera were invented (or significantly improved upon) by Thomas Edison, so lets give him credit for one more: LOLcats:

This short film was shot at the world's first movie studio, The Black Maria, located in West Orange, NJ. The entire building was built on a turntable so that the building could rotate with the sun for the best lighting conditions. (via "robin sloan")

hypnosec writes "Bitcoin is gaining popularity among mainstream sites lately and the latest to adopt the digital currency as a medium of donations and payments is the Internet Archive. Ready to accept donation in the form of Bitcoin, the Internet Archive announced that it wants to do so to pay some part of employees' salaries, if they choose to, in Bitcoin. The Archive, known for its storage of digital documents (especially the previous version of webpages), is looking to start part salary payments in Bitcoin by April 2013 if everything goes well."

When first viewing the artwork of Shintaro Ohata up close it appears the scenes are made from simple oil paints, but take a step back and you’re in for a surprise. Each piece is actually a hybrid of painted canvas and sculpture that blend almost flawlessly in color and texture to create a single image. The cinematic figures are sculpted from polystyrene while the backgrounds are made from traditional painting techniques. Via his artist statement:

Shintaro Ohata is an artist who depicts little things in everyday life like scenes of a movie and captures all sorts of light in his work with a unique touch: convenience stores at night, city roads on rainy day and fast-food shops at dawn etc. His paintings show us ordinary sceneries as dramas. He is also known for his characteristic style; placing sculptures in front of paintings, and shows them as one work, a combination of 2-D and 3-D world. He says that it all started from when he wondered “I could bring the atmosphere or dynamism of my paintings with a more different way if I place sculptures in front of paintings”. Many viewers tend to assume that there is a light source set into his work itself because of the strong expression of lights in his sculpture.

Ohata will have work later this year at the Akita Museum of Modern Art, and you can see much more of his work online here. (via toxel)

Hello, this is dog.

This is sort of mesmerizing.

Agreed. But I think it needs a soundtrack.

The great Randall Munroe takes on one of the classic Stupid Things Adults Say to Children:

 

The “If all your friends …” bit always bugged me. It’s closely related to the teacher-favorite “It doesn’t matter if everyone else was doing it.”

Teachers love to pull that one on the one kid they’ve singled out as “an example.” So the whole class is talking or disrupting or whatever and they focus on one child to bear the brunt of the punishment. The kid protests that everyone else was doing the same thing and the teacher says that doesn’t matter.

Of course it matters. It matters a great deal. It suggests that the rule isn’t really a rule at all, merely a pretext. Arbitrary and selective justice is not justice. The kid is right. He or she is a fifth-grader, and the kids who get singled out like that aren’t usually the best students in the fifth grade, so they probably aren’t able to articulate why what the teacher is saying is horribly wrong, but it still is wrong. And the kids know it.

Even worse is another favorite of teachers or other adults breaking up fights between kids: “I don’t care who started it.”

Really? You don’t care who started it? You don’t find that morally significant at all? You don’t find the distinction between aggression and self-defense worth considering in evaluating the situation?

St. Augustine cared who started it. That was, for him, a major factor in whether or not war could be considered justifiable.

But teachers don’t care about St. Augustine, and they don’t care who started it.

Again, the kids probably can’t articulate why what the adults are saying there is wrong, but it’s still wrong. Utterly wrong.

Teaching kids that aggression and defense are morally indistinct is wrong. Teaching kids that rules retain their legitimacy when selectively enforced is wrong.

Yeah, I know, all the other teachers are saying the same thing to their students. But if all the other teachers jumped off a bridge …?
