Polémica genera llamado de la UdeC a sus alumnos “caucásicos” para campaña de admisión 2012 Una fuerte polémica generó la difusión de un comunicado de la Universidad de Concepción (UdeC), donde se solicita la participación de alumnos caucásicos -es decir, de ascendencia europea- para un comercial de TV como parte de su campaña de admisión 2012. La información fue enviada por la Unidad de Imagen de la institución universitaria a través de correo electrónico, y en ella se llama a presentarse en el campus este viernes 1 de abril, a “alumnos entre 20 y 25 años, caucásicos, (de) buena presencia, de rostro amable, natural, alegre, que transmita emociones. No muy formales pero tampoco alternativos”, especifica. La solicitud causó de inmediato repercusiones en las redes sociales, donde decenas de personas calificaron el mensaje como “racista” y apartado de lo que ellos consideran es el espíritu de la tradicional casa de estudios penquista.

A History of the 27 Club ”Now he’s gone and joined that stupid club,” Kurt Cobain’s mother said in the wake of her son’s death in 1994. Cobain’s life had ended sensationally, overdosing on heroin and then shooting himself in his Seattle home. Wendy Cobain was talking about the club no one would want to join and yet an astounding number of musicians have: The 27 Club. Sounes isn’t a newcomer to writing about personalities like these, having previously published biographies of Bob Dylan, Charles Bukowski, and Paul McCartney. Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll. Pointing out that all of these famous people died at the same age isn’t new. Luckily for the reader, Sounes’ book contains none of this out-there speculation. 27 instead makes very clear from the start that the particular age of death isn’t the product of any sinister forces allied to silence unique voices in music. The remarkable trick pulled off by 27 is its method of conducting this macro study. Photo courtesy of Ranker.
Sony's Google TV-Powered Devices Have Arrived Sony has unveiled its newest line of Internet-enabled TVs, complete with the highly anticipated Google TV software. Sony's new Internet HDTVs, unveiled earlier today at a press event in New York City, sport 1080p edge-lit LED screens, with the exception of the 24-inch model. They come with four USB ports, four HDMI inputs and Wi-Fi capabilities. They are available in four sizes: 24-inch, 32-inch, 40-inch and 46-inch. The 24-inch model rings in at $599, while the 46-inch will cost you a hefty $1,399. The big selling point of the new TVs is their inclusion of Google TV. One of the more controversial parts of Sony's new Google TV-enabled devices is the remote, though. The new TVs become available this Saturday on SonyStyle.com and in Best Buy stores nationwide this Sunday, making this weekend the first indicator of whether consumers are demanding TVs that can also surf the web.
Big Fenomeno — Magazine de Street Culture 5 Things You Didn't Know About Nirvana Here we are now, entertain us ... with trivia. Nirvana's "Nevermind" was released on Sept. 24, 1991. The band's original record contract with Sub Pop only paid them $600, but this album would go on to sell 30 million copies worldwide. Perhaps they weren't always understood at the time -- MTV even misspelled the group's Moon Man award in 1992 as "Smells Like Team Spirit" -- but over the years Nirvana has certainly captured the zeitgeist for anyone who wishes to come as they are, no matter what team spirit they feel. Never mind Charles Barkley, here's five things you didn't know. 1. Kathleen Hanna, notably of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, got drunk off 40s and Canadian Club with Kurt Cobain back in August of 1990. Months after the night, however, Cobain called Hanna to ask her for permission to use one of the lines she wrote on the wall. Apparently Hanna's bandmate in Bikini Kill and Cobain's girlfriend at the time, Tobi Vail, used a now discontinued deodorant called Teen Spirit. 2. 3. 4. 5.
7 Resources for Handling Digital Life After Death This post originally appeared on My Life Scoop, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about using social media and technology for a more connected life. Death is a fact of life. When someone dies, they're no longer physically here, but their digital self lives on. There are more than 5 million accounts on Facebook that are inactive due to death, according to the calculations of BlackBook Media's Executive Editor Chris Mohney.
