Daft Punk in the Fajardo House!!

Posted by: JC Tirado

JC Tirado

Este articulo fue escrito por mis estudiantes de las clases de web development de John Dewey College in Fajardo Puerto Rico. En la escuela superior Dr. Santiago Veve Calzada de Fajardo Puerto Rico, hay un grupo de estudiantes de cuarto año que estan abogando para que la agrupación de música electrónica compuesto por acordes disco, y balada rock con toques de funk, techno, house y synth Daft Punk se presente en Fajardo Puerto Rico.

Daft Punk es un dúo artístico originario de París, Francia; conformado por los músicos Thomas Bangalter y Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. El estilo de la agrupación es música electrónica compuesto por acordes disco, y balada rock con toques de funk, techno, house y synth.

 

Antes de llamarse Daft Punk, se llamaban Darlin, y además de Bangalter y Homem-Christo también formaba parte otro artista llamado Laurent. El primer single The New Wave (Soma con el nombre de Daft Punk 1993) fue seguido de su primer éxito comercial Da Funk parte de su álbum Homework (1997).

El dúo aparece disfrazado de robots en sus imágenes publicitarias y en sus entrevistas. El álbum Discovery se convirtió en la pista musical del filme de anime Interstella 5555, que co-produjeron con Leiji Matsumoto que vino acompañada de un álbum de remixes llamado "Daft Club".

The Open Internet future is link to Fast Speed!

Posted by: JC Tirado

JC Tirado

It’s a bit funny how the people who are against net neutrality are claiming evil corporate freedom schemes, when the real corporate evil would be in keeping the internet from being free!  I’m only analyzing recent history here. Still I’m very excited about FCC Chairman Genachowski’s clarity on the significance of this issue, and his apparent good intention in keeping Internet openness for the people. Still I’m curious about ISPs being allowed to “managed their networks”, and prevent “heavy users from crowding out everyone else”. I’m also curious as to whether or not the FCC will play a role in encouraging faster connection speeds. We'll see.

OpenInternet.gov is a place to join the discussion about the more important issues facing the future of the Internet. Through their site you can stay connected to all Federal Communication Commission activities on the issue, and share your thoughts and ideas on open Internet. The site is currently in ‘Beta,’ and will continue to adapt to best facilitate input and participation in the commission proceedings as this discussion evolves. This conversation will be fair, open, and deliberate; and we want to ensure that the opportunity to participate is open to everyone.

Desktop Applications Toolset - Core Edition - From the Archive

Posted by: Eric Flores

Eric Flores

If you buy or reinstall a new PC, you want it to be productive right now. In addition to the OS, you want a basic tool-set of low cost applications and no-compromises. This entry is the first of a series of articles on which we aim to offer application tool-sets tailored for specific needs.

This first entry focuses on 'core' applications used in general by most consumer and small business users. Please visit us again for other interesting editions.

  1. Office Suite - We had already commented on the word processors on a previous article, but we cannot mention core applications without covering and office suite. If you want the leading edge technology, we recommend OpenOffice (Windows, Mac, Linux). However, if the potential of corporate backed support is important for you, then you should look to IBM's Lotus Symphony (Windows, Mac, Linux). Notice that in both applications we recommend using the word processor, spreadsheet and presentations applications only. The Drawing application is not to the level of specialized tools.
  2. Images - Use Irfanview (Windows only) for simple image viewing, cropping, reizing and image format conversion (90% of what we do with an image is one of these). Together with the Plugins, it can read and convert to almost every image format under the sun. You might want to use Aviary Phoenix (Windows, Mac, Linux) for actual image editing. Notice that Aviary Phoenix is a web application. However, we are including it here because no other free desktop application provides this type of simple and powerful editing.
  3. Notes taking (journal) - Evernote (Windows, Max, iPhone and Linux via web) is the best tool in this area as it seamlessly synchronizes your desktop notes with the web, and make them available in your iphone whenever you need them.
  4. PDF management - Generate your PDf files by printing using the doPDF (Windows). Then, open them using PDF-XChange Viewer, which is more powerful than Adobe Reader.
  5. Video and multimedia player - VLC (Windows, Mac, Linux) plays almost every video and audio format, in addition to supporting several multimedia tricks. It can even load subtitles from a text file, and be controlled via ethernet from another computer (for Home Automation).
  6. IM Client - If you need to stay communicated with partners, customers and others, Pidgin (Windows, Mac, Linux) might be the best solution for you. Pidgin supports connecting several social protocol and servers (Gtalk, Yahoo!, etc).
  7. Social Clients - TwitterDeck and Seesmic are both very good tools to monitor and post into both, Twitter and Facebook accounts. These two applications require the installation of Adobe AIR (Windows, Max, Linux).

This list the roundup of core office tools. Notice that we tried to be as platform independent as possible, as you do not need to be locked into a specific OS to be productive.

What is Open Source Software? "From the archive"

Posted by: Eric Flores

Eric Flores

If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants. - Isaac Newton

Some people equate open source to free of payment software, but this not necessarily true, nor the most important aspect of the open source movement. Actually, all business people know that "there is nothing like a free lunch". Even when software is free of license cost, there is at least an implicit cost of implementation.

What is Google Chrome OS? In theory "back to mainframes"

Posted by: JC Tirado

JC Tirado

Lot of people see this cloud model as the Future of computing "In theory back to the mainframe". MS Office 2010/Sharepoinrt is on it, Linux , etc. Like it or not, it will happen. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but IT will happen. We won't say good-bye to all of the peripherals (for example, Music Players), but with access to our stuff from ANYWHERE in the World we'll stop using most of them. Right now, It's not a viable option for normal users, but in the future we'll find replacements for the software we all need.

What is a web browser?

Posted by: Eric Flores

Eric Flores

The question might seem unnecessary for most of us, but apparently a lot of people do not understand what is a web browser. I have certainly faced the challenge to attempt to explain this to my dad more than once. Either this is a difficult concept to understand and he forgets it always, or may be he makes me believe that he gets it, just to get over this topic and return to Facebook. Anyway, here is a video that attempts to explain what a browser is.

The best of this video is that it seeds the next topic: select your favorite browser. It highlights the importance of your browser and why you need to select a fast browser that serves you well. The icons of four (4) popular browsers are shown.

Check the video below to have some fun on what the people think a web browser is.

Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Available!

Posted by: JC Tirado

JC Tirado

We all have to admit that MS Office "es el caballo" de Microsoft. And Office 2010 is shaping up to be an important release. Just as "Windows 7 refined Vista, so Office 2010 refines Office 2007, building on Microsoft's telemetry and user research to deliver a fine-tuned and responsive user interface, along with new collaboration features aimed at distributed workforces"

The opinion for now is that it's not perfect, and there are still plenty of niggles — but there's some six months to go before launch, giving Microsoft time to respond to the feedback that millions of beta copies will deliver. Have you tried Office 2010 Beta? Let us know what you think. You can download it for free here:: http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010.
