Originally shared by Stephen Shankland Guess who was first to bump Coca-Cola from top of the annual Interbrand study of brand value? Apple.

PORQUE OS EUA ESPIONAM O BRASIL? — Respostas francas Aprendi bastante lendo as explicações de um ex-embaixador americano. Sem firulas e direto aos pontos. Conclusões, entre outras: 1. Os EUA vão continuar espionando tudo que puderem aqui dentro. 2. Os EUA não vão votar pelo assento do Brasil no Conselho de Segurança da ONU Vale a pena a leitura. http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/09/25/3650784/why-we-spy-on-brazil.html http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/09/25/3650784/why-we-spy-on-brazil.html

LEIA. E TENHA MEDO. A encrenca em Fukushima é seríssima, e a turma não está se agitando. As barreiras científicas e de engenharia para esvaziar a unidade 4 são inéditas e terríveis. A Tepco não tem grana pra resolver. E o governo japonês também não. Se não houver um mutirão internacional, tanto no financiamento quanto no planejamento, isso tem tudo para dar merda. E da grande. http://www.globalresearch.ca/humankinds-most-dangerous-moment-fukushima-fuel-pool-at-unit-4/5350779

Originally shared by Stephen Shankland We've had mobile phones and Retina laptops for years, and now browser makers are catching up with adaptable imagery. (Finally, I hesitate to mention.) It looks like four out of the top five browser makers will embrace the "srcset" approach to making sure that the image sent to a browser isn't too big for a small smartphone screen or too low-res for a HiDPI Retina display. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57604939-93/at-long-last-browser-makers-adapt-to-retina-quality-images/

Originally shared by Dustin W. Stout Google+ Surpasses 1 Billion Users! Look out Facebook, here we come! Yesterday it was revealed that Google+ has quietly surpassed the 1 Billion user mark. This is very exciting news-- how could I not create an #infographic  for that? I also shared my thoughts on the numbers here:  http://dustn.ws/15UmW7Z These numbers only represent the number of registered users, as opposed to the number of active users. While the real test of a successful social network is in it's active user numbers, the registered user numbers are nothing to take lightly. What are your thoughts on this new data? #socialmedia   #evang+   #googleplus   #twitter   #instagram   #pinterest

Originally shared by Ryan Crowe Size Comparison Chart: Every sci-fi starship ever - via Kotaku Can you guess which is the biggest one? Click the link below and go zoom around and check out some famous/not so famous starships. Note: you'll have to go to the link to see the names/sizes. "This comparison chart, compiled by DeviantARTist Dirk Loechel, presents what he says is an accurate size-comparison between famous sci-fi starships. As far as I can tell it's got more or less every single sci-fi starship ever, from Star Wars to Warhammer to EVE Online to Halo and way, way beyond. In an update this month, Loechel added a ton more ships to what already must have been a huge collection." http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/191accgnmnevzjpg/original.jpg

A mais interessante coleção de links interessantes que já ví aqui no Google+ Aviso: Não chequei os links.

ÓPTIMO PARA QUEM QUISER/SOUBER APRECIAR E TIVER TEMPO 3 mil filmes para ver no YouTube   O YouTube disponibilizou um canal com aproximadamente três mil filmes on-line. O projeto, que havia sido descontinuado, voltou ao ar no mês de agosto. A lista traz desde clássicos absolutos, que fizeram a história do cinema na primeira metade do século passado, até filmes recentes que ficaram famosos em festivais independentes. O canal também traz filmes “trash” do cinema indiano, jamaicano e nigeriano. Todos os filmes estão em inglês, mas legendas em 30 idiomas podem ser ativadas no próprio Youtube. Alguns destaques do canal: “O Nascimento de Uma Nação”, filme mudo estadunidense de 1915 co-escrito, coproduzido e dirigido por D. W...

Originally shared by Aravind Krishnaswamy Five enhancements to Auto Enhance Auto Enhance makes improvements to every photo you add to Google+, highlighting important details and helping your images look their best. Today we're upgrading Auto Enhance in five important ways, making your photos even more beautiful:  1) It does a better job of illuminating faces, even in darker exposures. 2) It's better at removing color casts (like the blue-ish “haze” you might see in your snowboarding pics). 3) It identifies and lightens shadows, especially in landscape images. 4) It selectively brightens night scenes, keeping the focus on your main subject. 5) And… it uses skin tones to calibrate other enhancements like fill light and warmth, ensuring a natural look and feel. To give Auto Enhance a try, simply upload some photos then view them in the lightbox. From there you can refine Google's enhancements ( http://goo.gl/6QKhqW ), or undo them entirely. So add a new photo, and let us ...
