Entre los destinos más visitados, Francia sigue en la cima, con algo más de 79 millones de visitas al año. Le sigue Estados Unidos, con casi 62,3 millones, y China, con 57,6 millones. Dato interesante en este punto: China mostró un crecimiento bastante menor en la llegada de turistas que en años anteriores, así que su ascenso hacia la cima de este ránking puede tomar más tiempo del previsto un par de años atrás. En cuanto a ingresos, Estados Unidos conserva el primer lugar, con algo más de 116 mil millones de dólares de ingresos por turismo, seguido por España con casi 60 mil millones de dólares.

Verizon famously passed on the device at first, and if not for Steve Jobs personally convincing AT&T to sell his phone sight unseen, the iPhone may never have existed. Jobs was well aware that he couldn't reach the market of cellphone consumers without carrier support — at the D3 conference in 2005, he famously called the carriers "orifices" (via Five years after the iPhone, carriers are the biggest threat to innovation | The Verge)

Buena reflexión pero hipernostálgica y desconoce completamente que ese tercer lugar que invoca donde se encuentran memoria y emoción, debe ser habitado por otros actores y otras posibilidades expresivas. Rinde demasiada pleitesía a los heroes del pasado y desconoce completamente la necesidad de espacios de co-creacion, es decir de los labs como auténticos revitalizadores ciuaddanos. No necesitamos mas bibliotecas publicas necesitamos labs ciudadanos y dentro de ellas como una parte, no como el todo a las bibliotecas. No es uan diferencia menor sino la diferencia que hace todas las diferencias La resistencia erótica del libro (via La resistencia erótica del libro | Opinión | EL PAÍS)

The early days of the Internet were a bonanza for major pornography studios, as the web transformed adult entertainment into an instant, unlimited, and completely private experience -- always just a credit card charge and a cable modem away.

We’ve seen "magic-window" augmented reality interfaces, Minority Report-style gestural interfaces, and computer-vision-powered collaborative display interfaces. But what about an iPad app that combines all three? That would be T(ether), an experimental design from the MIT Media Lab.
