Awesome Canon EOS 5D Mark II Space Shuttle timelapse | planet5D-Canon HDSLR news (5Dmk2, 7D, 1Dmk4) Posted on 21. May, 2010 by planetMitch in 5D2 I’ve always been a space program junkie – ever since I was a little kid watching the Apollo moon landings, and now that the Shuttle program is winding down, @ tylerginter showed me this beautiful timelapse of the Space Shuttle Discovery’s trip from the final processing center out to the pad and thru the launch. From the Smithsonian’s Air and Space site: “photographers Scott Andrews, Stan Jirman and Philip Scott Andrews condense six weeks of painstaking work into three minutes, 52 seconds” (note, there’s no sound until the end) There’s a post over on the Smithsonian’s Air and Space site discussing how they did it.

Nadie es profeta en su tierra | Columnistas Como reza la voz popular, a José Antonio Ocampo le ha ocurrido exactamente lo que por lógica no debía acontecer, que algunos de sus coterráneos no le reconozcan los méritos y ni lo ayuden en su deseo de satisfacer la mejor opción de su vida. Ignorando por completo el apoyo del Financial Times, The Economist y el premio Nobel Joseph Stiglitz, prefieren dar la pueril disculpa que, como hay una opción maravillosa en la OIT, la posibilidad de nuestro compatriota a la jerarquía de la poderosa entidad bancaria está clausurada. Vaya, vaya; vivir para ver. Para ratificar el conocimiento y dominio que tiene Ocampo en materias económicas, un artículo publicado en El Tiempo, con el título ¿Hacia dónde debe ir el Banco Mundial? En apretada síntesis, no solo da cuenta de su capacidad para exponer los diversos temas, sino que marca con total claridad los aspectos cruciales de la discusión y la forma de enfrentarlos. Intentar suprimir los mercados conduce a graves ineficiencias y pérdida de dinamismo.

TomPaine.com Candid answers from AT&T on the new iPhone data plans After AT&T announced this morning that it was backing away from its well-priced iPad data plans, many of our readers had questions about how this change would work, and how it would affect them both as Apple-specific customers and as AT&T customers in general. As we posted earlier today, starting Monday, smartphone users will choose between a $15 200 MB plan and a $25 2GB plan. The "Unlimited" plan, including the prepaid iPad version and, eventually, the iPhone postpaid version, is headed towards dodo-ville -- although it's not quite as dead as you might think. Read on for the answers from AT&T. Admittedly, heavy data users will be hardest hit. Here's our complete round-up of many of the switchover details that you'll need to know. Will the new data plans be prepaid or postpaid? What is changing on the iPad? What about the iPad $15 250MB 30-Day Plan? What happens if I use over 2GB in one month on the iPad now?
