Hello 2009!

If I take too long to select the right subject to write in this blog I will never write. I had a conversation like this few days ago:

– Do you think Twitter will eat Blog’s market share?

– No! I think we’ll have space for both

Now look, this is my first post in 2009.

How can someone trust IEEE?

“Check out the paper Towards the Simulation of E-commerce by Herbert Schlangemann, which is available in the IEEEXplor database (full article available only to IEEE members). This generated paper has been accepted with review by the 2008 International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE). According to the organizers, ‘CSSE is one of the important conferences sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, which serves as a forum for scientists and engineers in the latest development of artificial intelligence, grid computing, computer graphics, database technology, and software engineering.’ Even better, fake author Herbert Schlangemann has been selected as session chair (PDF) for that conference. (The name Schlangemann was chosen based on the short film Der Schlangemann by Andreas Hansson and Björn Renberg.)”

Quality is not important anymore, money is talking louder then anything, this amazing piece of software showed us, not how advanced artificial intelligence is reaching, but how stupid we are for accepting a fragile revision and acceptance system of the scientific community.

Me on TV!

Today 10am a driver came to pick me up in my office, took me directly to Record studio’s, getting there I had my own cabinet, with sofa, television and things to eat and drink, minutes later I went to make-up (OMG!) and then recorded the technology show Link Brasil, this episode about Wireless Internet, that will go live on Saturday, 8pm.

Fancy, uh?

What is bad about iPhone?

It’s difficult to find something that I don’t like in iphone, and looks like the same happens with other people, the other day I saw an image comparing iphone to a Brick (image below), a joke of course.

I tried hard and time fixed this, I’ve identified something that I don’t like in iphone, it reflects light very easily, so it’s common to get it reflecting television light right in my face, or close to a window, if there is something to complain, that’s my two cents.
