Robots, hackers@microsoft and free music?

OK... lets start with robots:

Can you imagine a city dedicated only to robots? ok, I am not taking about any movie, here you will find a blogger talking about some project going on in South Korea...

Hackers@Microsoft? It is not new that hackers like to "test" Microsoft products, but what about the hackers working for Microsoft? Now there is a way to "interact" with them...

Indian Outsources, Lunar Eclipse and Texting+Driving?

It's me again... I am kind of productive today, maybe because I am bored of my daily routine... mmm... or is it because I just found good news the last couple of days? For any reason, who cares right?, just read and enjoy the ride ;-)

Some time ago I placed a blog about H1-B visas winners... why? because the top ones are Indian outsourcing companies... what? yes my friend, they are cashing the market for foreign professionals willing to do whatever it takes to work in USA... now it seems they want more!

Bikini alternative?

This article appeared in the Washington post a few days ago, I couldn't believe what I was reading without thinking in Religion and the beginning of 20th century. And yes, the writer mentioned those subjects because when you visit the web page of the company this article talks about, I am sure these 2 topics will be the first thing on your mind.

Original article:
Ultimate Coverup

Company's web page:
Wholesome Wear

I wonder if they have tried to sell them in Brazil or Ibiza?

Definitely there is something for everybody's taste... I just hope this is not something that will be popular any time soon... otherwise... there won't be any (good) reason to go to the beach ;-)

Thanks for reading.
