Eminem new album, genius.

So when I heard the first single, I was a bit dissappointed but hearing the real version… I am totally impressed. It’s a deep, story telling masterpiece. It’s crazy but I can relate to him in alot of situations back a few years ago… Yes, I am crazy…. I know.

ANYWAY. CHECK IT OUT!” EMINEM RELAPSE!

Prison Break ending!

Did anyone watch the final episode of Prison Break? I can´t believe it!!!

WARNING: IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT YET, PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE READING.

I was really happy with out the entire serie turned out except for the season where they went back to prison, but the ending was sjust really, really sad to me and I believe in HAPPY endings. I dont think that the hero of the entire series should die like that…

Well, thanks the producers and actors for a great series.

Farewell PRISON BREAK!!!!

FriendFeed. Better than twitter?

WinRAR 3.90 Beta 1 (finally updated!)

so our friends over at “rarlabs” have finally gotten their asses off the couch and  made us an update to their great tool, winrar. i  have been using winrar for many years now and it has become so central that its on every recovery cd or backup ive ever made. what i like most about this update? well basically the fact that its written to take advantage of the dual processors i have in my system along with windows vista (windows vista is slowly gaining ground and people are starting to see that it performs much better and is much more beautiful than XP) if you have a single cpu, pentium IV, then yes, XP is for you… for us “multithreaders” or “64-biters”, we will stick with VISTA and updated kernels of Linux (which by the way, i would love to get on my system!!!!). anyway, here is the new Winrar…

directly from the “whatsnew.txt” file in the release…

WinRAR – What’s new in the latest version

Version 3.90 beta 1

1. WinRAR version for Windows x64 is available. If you use
Windows x64, it is strongly recommended to install 64 bit
WinRAR version. It provides a higher performance and better
shell integration than 32 bit version.

2. RAR compression speed is improved for multi-core
and multi-CPU systems. This improvement is most noticeable
in Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.

3. “Remove duplicate folders from extraction path” option
in “Settings/Compression” dialog is replaced by more universal
“Remove redundant folders from extraction path” option.
This option will eliminate redundant archive name based folders
from extraction path if you unpack an archive with
“Extract to DestName\” context menu command and if archive
root folder contains only one folder and no files.

4. Changes in “Extraction path and options” dialog:

a) “New folder” button creates a new subfolder in currently
selected folder;

b) F2 key renames a selected folder in the folders tree;

c) F5 key updated the tree pane contents;

d) Del key removes a selected folder in the folders tree.

5. You can enable “Show seconds” option in “Settings/File list”
dialog if you wish to see seconds in file dates in file list
in WinRAR shell.

6. “Where to check for SFX archives” options group
in “Settings/Integration/Context menus items” dialog lets
you to control processing of SFX archives in context menus.
For example, if you frequently right click “.exe” files
on slow network disks, you can turn off “Network disks” options
to minimize the delay before displaying the context menu.

7. If you sort files by name in the file list in WinRAR shell,
WinRAR will use the new logical file name sorting,
same as in Windows Explorer, considering digits in file names
by their numerical value. So files will be sorted as
1.txt, 2.txt, 10.txt instead of previous 1.txt, 10.txt, 2.txt.
This new sort behavior is available in Windows XP Service Pack 2
and newer.

8. Ctrl+W key combination can be used to close the main WinRAR window
also as WinRAR viewer windows. “View as Windows text” shortcut
in WinRAR viewer changed from Ctrl+W to Ctrl+I.

9. New command line switch -r- disables recursion completely.
So ‘rar a -r- arc dirname’ command will add only the empty
dirname folder and ignore its contents. By default, if dirname
does not include wildcards, RAR adds its contents even if
-r switch is not specified.

10. If used when extracting, the new command line switch -ai forces
RAR to ignore file attributes. When using this switch,
extracted files will always have attributes assigned by
operating system to a newly created file by default.

11. If output file name is not specified in “cw” command, console RAR
will send comment data to stdout.

12. When compressing stdin data with -si[name] switch, RAR sets
modification time of archived entry to current system time.
Previous RAR versions did not fill this field, resulting in
meaningless modification time for stdin.

13. Message displayed when you place the mouse cursor on WinRAR
tray icon includes the archive name now. Previously only
time left and total percent were displayed for archiving operations.

14. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR could fail to open tar or tar.gz archive if such archive
contained a file larger than 8 GB;

b) WinRAR context menu did not work properly in Windows 7 beta
if icons in context menus were enabled and user clicked
a file inside of Windows 7 Library folder;

c) previous WinRAR versions failed to rename files having 5 or more
continuous spaces in the name. WinRAR shell does not display
such spaces for safety reasons, because they can hide an actual
file extension. But this security measure prevented the rename
command to work properly.

you can get it for 32-bit here and for 64-bit here (if you dont know, choose the first one as the first one will work on both and therefore you wont cause any trouble, but, if you have vista, simply right click on “my computer” go to “properties” and it will tell you.)

Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is out!

whats up everyone? miss me??? i didnt… (u know i love u guys, i know its just a few of u… but its ok!)

so i have been testing Mozilla’s Firefox 3.5 beta 4 and reading about it and looking at all the new features. to me, what really stands out is the new “engine” based on the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering platform. basically, its really fast and from what i can see, it handles advanced web features very well… there was this “test” that they had to show off some multimedia capability and i was impressed, i need to go back and look where it was, but i loved it! check out the benchmark below!!!

This is what CNET had to say about it…

“Standard page-load times may not be noticeably faster for Mr Average McWeb-User, but Javascript rendering in 3.5b4 is almost three times quicker than 3.0.10. Using the SunSpider benchmark, the new version scored an impressive 1,200.4ms, whereas the current major release creaked to a far more sluggish 3,160.8ms.” – CNET

WARNING: Install the beta as it tells you and do not replace your current firefox, because most of the addons dont work and remember, its a beta! and a real one… not like many beta’s out there that have the tag just so people cant get mad if there is a bug!!!

Impressive? Well thats not even the coolest thing! With HTML5 there is a new “video” tag and its amazing. I finally found a demo for it over at some dudes mozilla blog named “prouget” and he kindly has posted a collection of demos that you can see ONLY WITH FIREFOX 3.5! (i was posting this with 3.0x and couldnt get it to work thinking it was 3.5 and I had to go back and change browsers! but its great!) Once you download and install it, give the demo a test run. The most I can do is show you guys a screenshot of the most interesting demo I saw which was a video incorporated into a simple circle. You can see it below…

So what else does 3.5 bring to the table? Well… everyone thinks of the same exact thing when they read about this function or when Chrome put it out… the PRIVACY mode! I think its great if you are checking out things that are personal, and everyone has something personal that they dont want everyone to know!! I think its even good to use if you are doing like Bank transactions or other, sensitive things… another use for it could be if it starts to get installed in public places or at your work, this is perfect! why have they taken so long to incorporate something like this??? (there has been an addon for just this out for a long time now).

I really feel that this is a really big update and I cannot wait for the final product, this is the biggest change in features, performance and so forth that I have seen in a Mozilla update in YEARS. Since like the time NETSCAPE introduced JAVA!! hehe, good ol’ days.

Here are the new features from the official release notes.

“Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 10 months. Firefox 3.5 offers many changes over the previous version, supporting new web technologies, improving performance and ease of use, and adding new features for users:

• This beta is now available in 70 languages – get your local version.
• Improved tools for controlling your private data, including a Private Browsing Mode.
• Better performance and stability with the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine.
• The ability to provide Location Aware Browsing using web standards for geolocation.
• Support for native JSON, and web worker threads.
• Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
• Support for new web technologies such as: HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements, downloadable fonts and other new CSS properties, JavaScript query selectors, HTML5 offline data storage for applications, and SVG transforms.

Developers can find out about all the changes and new features at the Mozilla Developer Center.”

give it a try DEFINATELY! u can over at the official download page.

Nadie lo predecia, nadie lo podia ni pensar hace 10 años que estuvieramos aqui ahora mismo… todo por que? de verdad creis que un tio en las montañas de Pakistan tuve un gran plan de atack contra ‘el oeste’ y destruir sus economias dando lugar a mucho sufrimiento por parte de muchas familias en España. Aqui teneis el articulo publicado ELPAIS.com,

La grave crisis que atraviesa nuestra economía, que ha llevado al país a su primera recesión en 15 años, se está cebando en el mercado laboral, cuyo deterioro ha alcanzado ritmos desconocidos en la historia democrática de España y está superando hasta las previsiones más pesimistas tras rebasar por primera vez los cuatro millones de personas. Según la Encuesta de Población Activa del primer trimestre del año, la tasa de paro ha aumentado en los tres primeros meses de 2009 en 3,45 puntos hasta situarse en el 17,36% de la población activa, con lo que el número de desempleados ha alcanzado los 4.010.700, la cifra más alta de la historia, tras incrementarse en 802.800 personas entre enero y marzo.

Según ha publicado el INE, la nueva EPA, el mejor termómetro del mercado laboral, ha dejado en papel mojado los últimos cálculos del Gobierno, y ha superado en dos puntos las cifras del entonces ministro de Economía, Pedro Solbes, que preveían una tasa del 15,9% para final de año. La nueva jefa de la política económica del Ejecutivo, Elena Salgado, no ha podido sino admitir que los datos de la encuesta son “malos y peores de lo esperado”, aunque también ha anunciado un punto de inflexión en la recuperación de empleo a partir de abril.

Tampoco el titular del departamento de trabajo, Celestino Corbacho, consideraba la posibilidad de rebasar la cota psicológica de los cuatro millones por mucho que se le preguntó sobre este extremo. Aunque la tozuda realidad y la dureza de la crisis han acabado por imponerse a los argumentos del ministro.

De cara al futuro, la vicepresidenta María Teresa Fernández de la Vega ha rechazado hacer “vaticinios” sobre dónde está el límite de la subida del paro, y “mucho menos apocalípticos”, ha matizado tras ser preguntada por el hecho de si llegaremos o no a los cinco millones de desocupados. “Analizamos la situación con realismo, pero también con responsabilidad. Los ciudadanos deben saber que lo que estamos haciendo es trabajar, trabajar y trabajar” para dar el máximo rendimiento a las medidas adoptadas, ha añadido.

Por su parte, el secretario de Estado de Seguridad Social, Octavio Granado, ha atribuido a que nos encontramos en el “epicentro de la crisis” además de ser el “peor trimestre del año”.

Ritmo récord de destrucción de empleo

Según la EPA, entre enero y marzo se destruyeron 766.000 puestos de trabajo, el mayor descenso desde hace 32 años -cuando comenzó a elaborarse esta estadística-, con lo que el número de ocupados se sitúa en 19.090.800. En los últimos doce meses el paro ha subido en 1.836.500 personas tras cerrar 2008 con una tasa del 13,9% y se han destruido 1.311.500 puestos de trabajo, lo que supone una caída del 6,43% frente a los niveles de hace un año.

La tasa de paro es la más alta desde el cuarto trimestre de 1998 cuando alcanzó el 17,99%, mientras que el total de desempeados es el más elevado desde 1976, primer año del que se tienen datos, ya que en la anterior crisis de 1993 el número de personas sin empleo alcanzó su máximo en 3.932.900 millones de parados al cierre del primer trimestre de 1994.

Pero, a partir de ahora, la crisis de referencia para los futuros historiadores será la crisis que empezó en 2008 y que ofrecerá a lo largo del presente ejercicio su peor cara en forma de aumento del paro. De hecho, todas las comunidades autónomas, grupos de edad, sexo y sectores se han visto afectados por el descenso del empleo y el aumento del paro entre enero y marzo, aunque el mayor ajuste se ha concentrado en los trabajadores temporales, jóvenes y otros grupos desfavorecidos. Además, por primera vez desde 1994 hay más hombres que mujeres en paro, a pesar de lo cual la tasa de desempleo masculina sigue siendo menor, con el 16,86% frente al 18,01% entre las féminas.

También ha aumentado el número de hogares con todos sus miembros en paro, un 6,3% hasta las 1.068.400 familias, con lo que las familias sin ningún trabajo duplican a las que atravesan esta dramática situación hace un año.

Que pena… yo sigo trabajando, pero siempre con miedo…
