If you play, you can win or lose. If you lose, you'll suffer. If you win, you'll feel so great. If you don't wanna play, you won't suffer so you will not find happiness. That's part of life.

Similarity between Justice and Kavinsky.

"Audio, Video, Disco" is the new album of Justice. In my opinion, it has great songs but the rhythm reminds me Kavinsky. 

As I listened to the album I remembered the documentary about Justice's tour in USA called "A cross the universe". In this documentary appeared Kavinsky.

The Spanish Indie Music Mine

During the International Festival of Benicassim (FIB 2011) I’ve discovered a lot of great bands that remained unknown for me. Some awesome bands such as Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Portishead or the Arctic Monkeys are well known throughout the world, but there are many other lesser known bands that could really surprise you. In this festival I’ve tracked both Spanish and foreign amazing bands down.  When the festival ended, I decided to seek for beginners bands and I really liked them. Finding such good bands wasn't a difficult goal because the Spanish music mine is great. Thanks to this search I found incredible bands such as The Zombie Kids or Pete Bombastic.  I leave you some of their videos, hoping that you enjoy them as I’ve done:

ArUco

ArUco is a minimal library for Aumented Reality applications based on OpenCV. 

I'm using this library to perform my final project of career. I found a lot of troubles porting this library to iOS (I want to make a Augmented Reality game on iPhone). 

To date, I don't hit the nail on the head yet. I'm trying to do cross-compiling on XCode. 

ArUco had been developed by the AVA research group (University of Córdoba, Spain). Research group's page.

This is a video demo about ArUco:

Inch by inch play by play till we’re finished. [...] Because in either game life or football the margin for error is so small. [...] I mean one half step too late or too early you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow or too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. [...] Cause we know when we add up all those inches that’s going to make the fucking difference between WINNING and LOSING between LIVING and DYING. [...] That’s all it is. Now, whattaya gonna do?

"In motion" from "The Social Network" OST is a great song for coding on your computer. Motivationally. I recommend it to all programmers/developers. The OST has been performed by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross.

Facua brings a charge against Apple Care

Facua is a spanish consumer association. Under existing law in Spain, all new products have a two-years guarantee. 

Facua considers Apple is making a misleading advertising with Apple Care. When you pass a year of purchase a product, Apple sends a mail giving you the possibility to extend up to three-years guarantee with Apple Care. 

Facua thinks consumers may be confused with the warranty period and, finally, buy Apple Care to extend to two-years guarantee. Facua says that consumers (who have purchased Apple Care for error) can recover the money if you just want to have two-years guarantee.

Through a combination of shortcut keys (Ctrl + ^ <, for example), you access the terminal quickly. Quite useful for programmers. Also allows the use of tabs.
