Lecturas y visiones

1) "Punto ciego" una caricatura francesa:


2) Para parafrasear a la película Best in Show, "Es una pena que en algunos países a estos perros NO se los comen":

Walt Disney's Chihuahua #

3) Micro mini computadoras:

HP Mini-Note 2133 officially official, reviewed # It's a full 24 hours after we expected it, but with looks this hot we're not surprised the HP Mini-Note 2133 is fashionably late. Specs are exactly what we'd heard and what was up on Amazon earlier: 2.6 pounds, Via C7-M processor, 1280x768 8.9-inch screen, full QWERTY keyboard that's just 8 percent smaller than normal, and a variety of configurations ranging from a $499 1.0GHz Linux-powered unit with 4GB of flash and 512MB of RAM to a maxed-out $749 config with a 1.6GHz processor.

4) Para ahora que andamos con el debate del petróleo:

Rethinking the Oil Curse (NYT) # I’ve been skeptical of some of the alleged evils of petroleum, but I bought into the recently popular idea among development experts that reserves of oil and other natural resources are a curse to many countries. What I saw while reporting in Iraq jibed with academic studies concluding that a wealth of natural resources did a country more harm than good. It was an appealing and clever counterintuitive idea — but perhaps too clever by half.
