Iphone 4g video

This is the video of presumably the new iPhone 4g which will apparently be out in the market this summer. The video is in vietnamese (i guess) since the phone is located in Vietnam, so if you speak vietnamese you will enjoy it more, but if you don't you can still check it out better than in the pictures that appeared all over the internet in later weeks.

Apparently this phone has an A4 processor (just like the one in the iPad) incluiding a Sansung DRAM (250MB).

Anyways i hope you enjoy the video, bye bye ^_^.

The Other World Cup. By Rodrigo Stein

Hi guys, I am posting a very interesting article that one of my best friends, Rodrigo Stein, did for Concordia University's newspaper "The Link". It talks about a soccer world cup that most of people don't know about. It is really interesting so take a look at it. Congrats on this article Rodrigo.

Richard Giulionatti, professor of sociology at Durham University, believes that FIFA status “[strengthens] the ideological hand of ‘nationless states’ while placing ‘stateless nations’ in problematic positions,GRAPHIC JULIA WOLFE

The eyes of the world will be on Africa this summer as 32 teams from across the world arrive in South Africa to compete for soccer’s ultimate prize: the FIFA World Cup.

With over two million tickets already sold, the month-long tournament will undoubtedly be the biggest and most expensive sporting event ever staged on African soil.

Media have been abuzz with tales of forced expropriations, vast amounts of money spent on capital projects and “renewal” projects meant to impress foreign tourists.

While the World Cup is largely heralded as an arena to advance cultural tolerance, it also serves as a theatre for smaller nations to present themselves to the world. It allows for newly-created nation-states with a cultural sphere to develop strong nationalist rituals. During Croatia’s 1998 semi-final run, the players literally wore the nation’s crest on their shirts.

Shutting out the stateless

In a sense, FIFA is instrumental in maintaining the Western nation-state structure of international relations. It counts 208 members, 16 more than the 192 affiliated to the United Nations. FIFA status as an international organization, and as supreme overseer of the world’s most popular sport, places it in a unique position.

Richard Giulionatti, professor of sociology at Durham University in England, believes that FIFA status “[strengthens] the ideological hand of ‘nationless states’ while placing ‘stateless nations’ in problematic positions, as most stateless nations are routinely denied FIFA membership.”

FIFA routinely stops semi-autonomous regions such as Greenland, Zanzibar and Tibet—as well as peoples without settled territories such as the Roma—from competing. They have all the characteristics of a nation except for an actual state. For some of those nations that think of their governments as apolitical, entering into FIFA is just too political an act to swallow.
The national teams of Tibet, Northern Cyprus and Gibraltar have seen their progress toward being recognized by FIFA hampered by larger countries with political interests in their territories. However, FIFA has made very political statements in the past, from recognizing the Palestinian national football team in 1998 to allowing Argentina to host the 1978 World Cup while under a violent American-backed military junta.

Steve Menary, author of Outcasts!: The Lands That FIFA Forgot, explains how membership in the UN and the International Olympic Committee does not guarantee FIFA membership. The decisions on who to include and exclude, he argues, often come down to expected financial returns. Not to mention FIFA’s special relationship with certain money-making football federations like Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, which all claim special status as being the “birthplace” of modern football.

Even the Faroe Islands enjoy special status within FIFA, yet the other Danish territory of Greenland is excluded. These kinds of decisions defy logic.

A new alternative

Luc Misson was a lawyer involved in the famous Bosman ruling of 1995, which established a free agency system for professional European soccer players. Its result was the Nouvelle Fédération-Board, also known as the “Non-FIFA Board.” The board consists of teams that represent nations, dependencies, unrecognized states, minorities, stateless peoples, regions and micro-nations left out of FIFA.

The Non-FIFA Board organizes matches between its member teams, stating a belief in the “right to play competitive football.” Under this theme, Misson created the VIVA World Cup. Largely made up of recreational and semi-professional soccer players, the Cup—hosted by Malta’s Gozo region this summer—will be overshadowed by the more esteemed World Cup in South Africa.

This year’s VIVA games, from May 31 to June 6, mark four years of alternative national football. A sampling of prospective nation-states competing include: the Padania and Occitania regions in Italy; the Iraqi Kurdistan region; Provence, located in southern France; and the northern Scandinavian territory of Lapland. The winner gets to take home the Nelson Mandela trophy.

This year’s FIFA World Cup is expected to net the organization over US$3.5 billion in advertising and sponsorship contracts and endorsements. In comparison, VIVA World Cup’s players often have to fundraise or pay out-of-pocket to attend. Big-name multinationals are all but absent from the sponsor roster.

FIFA’s stadium capacities are also a testament to mass participation and funding. All 10 football stadiums that host the World Cup can house at least 44,000 people. Four of them can host over 66,000—a world event of monstrous proportions compared to the VIVA games’ single stadium of 4,000 capacity.

While the smaller Cup might not garner much media attention or draw swarms of tourists to Gozo, it’s a bright light for the sports world. Mainstream sports are plagued by excessive commercialization, doping scandals and endless rambling about injuries, trades and useless stats. It’s refreshing to see players and teams who aren’t playing just to win—nor just to qualify—but rather want to play the sport in an officially-sanctioned match.

Stateless people have an opportunity to create a sense of shared fates and communities beyond just the borders they live in. This is what sporting competitions should be about.

Oswaldo Sanchez Crying

Recently Coach Javier Aguirre (Mexico National FootBall Team) published the list of 29 players who will be in the final tryouts to make the final squad (23 players) which will go to South Africa to the World Cup.

Veteran and former Mexico's National team goal keeper Oswaldo Sanchez who currently plays for "Santos Laguna" was not in that list. He played for Mexico national team in the previous 3 world cups France 1998(3rd goal keeper), Korea-Japan 2002(2nd goal keeper), Germany 2006 (1st goal keeper). Through the last year he was arrogant since he felt his spot in the national team was bullet proof, but he was mistaken.

The first game of club Santos Laguna after the final list was published was against Pumas UNAM( my favorite team ), and this is what happened after the Pumas inchas were chanting at him: "No vas al mundial, no vas al mundial Oswaldo, no vas al mundial" which translated means "You wont go to the world cup, You wont go Oswaldo, you wont go to the world cup".

I feel ashamed for his behavior specially after being so arrogant and make fun of the current goal keeper of Mexico (Guillermo Ochoa) after he committed an error during the match against North Corea on March 2010.

Anyways here is the video.

A couple of hours ago I was buying groceries with my girlfriend and suddenly she started to dance on purpose in a funny way ... that's when i remember about this video. I know it is an old one but still i find it very funny.... enough of typing ...enjoy it :)

Letter "Z" might disappear from English alphabet

Surprising as it sounds, it looks like the English alphabet will be losing one of its letters on June 1st. The announcement came from the English Language Central Commission (ELCC).

Here is a quote from the press release:

After carefully considering and debating the matter for over two years, the ELCC came to the conclusion that the letter “Z” should be removed from the English alphabet. The main objective of this change is to simplify the phonetic aspect of the language, and to unify the American and British spellings.

What will happen to the words that have the letter “z” in them? It depends on the word. According to the ELCC, words that started with a “z” will now start with an “x”. Examples include:

zero becomes xero
zoo becomes xoo
zone becomes xone
zodiac becomes xodiac
Words that featured a “z” with the “s” sound, on the other hand, will now be officially written with the “s” (i.e., unifying the American and British spelling). Examples include:

visualize becomes visualise
analyze becomes analyse
materialize becomes materialise
What do you think about this change? Will it really simplify the English language, or will it make things more confusing?

My question is.. what will happen with Jay-Z.. will his name change to Jay-X? lol

GOAL! the Dream Begins

Well, The world cup is coming very soon, exactly in 72 days 5 hours and 5 minutes ^_^...cant wait! ... to start warming up the fever for futbol (soccer) i will inaugurate my "Download posts" with a futbol related movie.

Even though this film was not a critically acclaimed cinematic masterpiece by any stretch I could not stop smiling, screaming or contain my excitement the whole time I was watching it. Dont think i am crazy, there is always a reason and the triggers of this behavior were a couple of things:

First one, I love soccer!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ If I could do anything for the rest of my days, even without getting paid, that would be playing soccer. I dream of playing soccer with my best friends standing at my side on the greatest stadiums with thousands of crazy fans screaming and chanting around me. And in the film, as Santiago slowly comes to realize his dream, my dream is realized through him (don't blame me, i'm a wannabe professional player). And it feels incredible.

Second, Santiago Muñez is a poor Mexican immigrant in East Los Angeles who goes from rags to riches as he follows his dream, and im Mexican too :), not an immigrant though but i truly admire and respect all those men and women who go and risk it all just to get better opportunities for them and their families...anyways im getting off the topic :P .... I just loved this film which is the first film of a trilogy. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did, and yes i will be uploading the entire trilogy before June 11th ( the start of the World Cup in South Africa)

This is the Link ...enjoy it!

HIP HOP KIDDO!

This video is really cool, the kid looks so cute and funny.

An not so expensive but Beautiful picture.

This beautiful picture cost only $750 dollars and it is very particular because it was taken in a very special way. You guys will think it sounds crazy but it was taken from a helium balloon!.

The author ( a brithis man named Robert Harrison) attached his digital camera to a balloon, the digital camera was set-up in a way it was taking pictures every 5 minutes until it reached 22 miles (around 35 kilometers) above the surface of the Earth. After, it came down on a parachute.

The problem now was to find the camera!!! but no, the camera had a GPS attached to it so the guy could find it without problem ( unless it fell down in the middle of the ocean ^_^ ), but luckily it didn't.

I just wanted to share this story because i find it really cool, plus the picture is just beautiful. :)

HP Slate

And the Apple iPad has officially a competitor and its called "HP Slate", It will be on the market next June 2010, and it will cost approximately $500 dollars.

We have to wait for official information, but rumors say that i will have an Atom processor, USB ports, memory card slots and a webcam. Also it will support Flash ( the iPad does not support it) and the best thing is that it will come with Windows 7 OS ( I am still wondering how fast windows 7 can run on an Atom processor ). Anyways, here is a small video so you can check the design of this new gadget more in detail.

Some interesting numbers about internet

No need for words, the videos explains it all... enjoy ;)

Windows Phone

Apple has a one, Google has a one too, and even though there were some smartphones with windows operating systems. Windows didn't have a phone until now...

Microsoft developed an all new operating system designed for smartphones, specifically for the Windows phone, the name of this new OS is Windows Phone 7 Series.

This new phone will be released at the end of the present year (holidays) and apparently it has some new concepts that will make him a nice spot in the battle of smartphones.

It will not be compatible with any Apple hardware, but a lot of well known hardware companies will support Windows Phone 7 series like:

HTC, Dell, Garmin-Asus, Samsung, HP, LG, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Qualcomm.

This is the website were you can find more information.

Watch the following video to see some of the features this new phone will have.

Soccer & Valentines

February 14th is coming, and Puma brand took out this very good publicity that shows that even the most fearful hooligans can give out some love their own way of course.. anyways the video is better than a thousand of words... its funny.

Windows 7 GodMode

Hey this is a god trick a good friend of mine told me about. It is about getting almost TOTAL control of your Windows 7 operating system. It is really easy

• 1st you have to create a new folder (right click -> new -> folder)
• now to have to rename the folder to

{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

• The icon of the folder will automatically change as well as the name you just typed
• Double click the new icon.... you are now in the GodMode window

Hope this "trick" is usefull for you as it has been for me.

HAVE FUN ^_^

Google's Buzz, a new way of sharing

Google's Buzz is a new concept of sharing information. Think of it as the evolution of status updates. Now you will be able to add pictures, and videos.
Like in Facebook or Twitter people will be able to post comments about your buzzes (status updates) .

If you are already using any other social network you will be able to synchronize all your accounts to be updated whenever you update your Buzz, and if you update from your mobile phone, your location will also be posted ( if you activate this feature ).

You will be able to access and use buzz within you gmail account, and all the feedback received from your buzzes will be sent directly to your inbox.

I still don't have activated Buzz in my account, so i cant post my final verdict about this product.

This is the video so you can check out some other features.

Thx

is Apple's ipad worth to buy?

Apple's iPad was recently announced and worldwide known thanks to Apples hardcore advertisement campaign , but is it really the a revolutionary device? Do you really need it? Personally i don't think so.

Yes it has a great LED display, but we all already know the technology it uses and if we add the facts that:

• Has no video camera
• Has no output to HDMI
• For the 3G, the microSIM card limits your options for preferred carriers (its locked). AT&T in the US, and i have no idea of who will be for Canada.
• It has no MULTITASKING that means you are not going to listen music while checking your emails for example, that really sucks.

I think this product is just targeted to apple lovers, or to an audience who just wants quick access to internet, but don't apple already has the iPhone and iPod touch for that? anyways this product is purely marketing in my opinion.

If you really want a powerful tablet you should check out British company X2's iTablet which can run windows 7 as well as Linux. Check out this link about the iTablet .

Another option is the Google tablet, I don't have much information about this one but i expect it'll be a good product because with Google you can never go wrong. I leave you guys a video about this products GUI(Graphical User Interface) demo.

For the Spanish version please go to my other blog.

Waving Flag Official song of the 2010 world cup (latin version)

Futbol (soccer) is my favorite sport and every 4 years the biggest and best party on earth starts. This year the party will take place in South Africa where 32 teams will search the glory. I cant wait for June 11th for the inauguration of this major global event where Mexico (my home country) will play against South Africa (the locals) to see who scores the first goal of the world cup and most importantly who will take the first three points in front of the eyes of literally the entire world!!

The song "Waving Flag" by K'naan is the official song of this world cup, and for the latin version K'naan features with David Bisbal ( a spanish bad singer ). This is the official video of this latin version. I hope you like it.

Personally i still think the original english version is better. but here it is...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Futbol es my deporte favorito, y cada 4 anos la mejor y mas grande fiesta en el mundo ocurre. Este ano se celebrara en Sudafrica, en donde 32 equipos lucharan para buscar la gloria. No puedo esperar a que llegue Junio 11 para ver la inauguracion de este evento de magnitud global en donde Mexico (mi pais) jugara contra Sudafrica (los locales) para ver quien mete el primer gold del mundial and mas importante, quien se lleva los tres primeros puntos en frente de literalmente los ojos del mundo entero!!

La cancion "waving Flag" de K'naan, es la cancion oficial de la copa del mundo, y para la version latina K'naan se une a David Bisbal (un cantante espanol malisimo) . Este es el video oficial de la version latina, espero les guste.

Personalmente pienso que la version original (en ingles) es mucho mejor. pero aqui se las dejo...
