Ideia para startup: empresa que cancela serviços pra você

enfim um texto decente. tenho minhas objeções a alguns pontos, mas podem ler http://t.co/qjPFigMS

Dan Bricklin, the inventor of spreadsheet software in the form of VisiCalc, writes an appreciation of Lotus 1-2-3, which perfected and popularized spreadsheets, on the occasion of its 30th birthday.

While VisiCalc concentrated on just being able to do spreadsheets at all, Lotus 1-2-3 went to the next level and addressed the final printed output much better, with more number formats, variable column widths, long labels, and that very-hard-to-do-by-hand graphing. And it did all of this with greater speed than anything else. Speed and fluid operations matters, as the Palm Pilot later showed (with its instant page turning in response to taps), and then the Apple iOS products showed after that.

The code itself stood the test of time and for years beat out most other products running on the hardware for which it was designed. It wasn't until a platform switch occurred (GUI) that the torch was passed to the next dominant spreadsheet, Excel.

The team Mitch assembled to get the "full" product (including documentation, sales, etc.) out the door had some of the best positioned and most experienced (with personal computing) people in the world. He also worked with one of the most tied-in to the personal computing business venture capitalist, Ben Rosen. A dream team at the time and in hindsight.

Also, wow, this Lotus 1-2-3 promotional video from 1983 is amazing:

O Google publicou um mapa atualizado da Coreia do Norte onde podem ser identificados os campos de concentração do regime comunista, assim como um centro de pesquisa nuclear, em um momento de crescente tensão entre Pyongyang e a comunidade internacional. "Durante muito tempo, a Coreia do Norte permaneceu como uma das mais amplas zonas com dados cartográficos limitados. Atualmente, estamos remediando", escreveu em seu blog Jayanth Mysore, diretor do Google Map Maker.

Brasil e Portugal tecnicamente falam a mesma língua, mas sabemos que nem sempre é bem assim. E uma boa forma de compreender como estes dois países são diferentes é através das traduções que os livros ganham nos respectivos países. Algumas delas são até bem curiosas. Nesta lista, uma seleção com 10 diferentes traduções de livros no Brasil, e em Portugal:

Since moving to America I’ve found that apparently very few Americans know all this. So I spent six hours designing a fancy photoset to explain it all. Naturally.

Just gonna put this here.

You probably had countless highschool teachers and relatives ask you “So what do you want to be when you grow up?” few, if any of us would have replied with “Bride Kidnapping Expert” but hey someone has to do it right?

The following 20 job titles (and we do use that term very loosely) are ridiculous at the best of times, still the caption creator must have enjoyed a laugh reading them prior to typing them up on the show – maybe they just made them up on the spot? Either way, we hope you enjoy this fine selection, do let us know your personal fav and hey, if you could have any job title in the world – what would yours be exactly?

 

ENJOYED THEM? SHARE THEM!

Fun fact: Rogue is known as ‘Vampira’ in Brazil, which means ‘vampire’.

International Business Machines Corp.’s vaunted software portfolio includes applications to help companies crunch huge amounts of data and manage their online storefronts. It also includes programs like Lotus Notes.

“I go to a party, and I almost immediately get insulted,” says Eugen Tarnow, a director of the consultancy Avalon Business Systems, which sells the aging email software to businesses. “They say, ‘Lotus Notes, that’s still around?’ It’s no fun.”
