I just came back from Porto Alegre where we shoot the first soccer game using 4K 3D. It was between Internacional and Gremio and of course that Internacional won the game and, most important, that the first gol filmed in 4K 3D in the world was from Inter too…
Take a look at the team that produced that MIRACLE!

Celular para cruzar ilegalmente

La creación de la herramienta ha causado polémica.
Investigadores de la Universidad de California en San Diego elaboraron una aplicación para teléfonos celulares que puede ayudar a los inmigrantes en su travesía por la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos.
Con un teléfono móvil en la mano (el Motorola 455) los inmigrantes al cruzar el desierto estadounidense pueden encontrar agua, o ropa y frazadas que son dejadas en puntos estratégicos por organizaciones de defensa de los derechos de los inmigrantes.
La “herramienta inmigrante translínea” como es llamada por sus creadores, es similar al popular GPS (siglas en inglés del Sistema de Posicionamiento Global).
“Muchos sistemas de posición son para ser utilizados en zonas urbanas”, explicó a BBC Mundo Ricardo Domínguez, director del equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de California en San Diego (UCSD, por sus siglas en ingles) que desarrolla el innovador proyecto.
