Before and After Shots of Joggers - My Modern Metropolis

by karlcow

Last summer, Sacha Goldberger decided he would take on a very interesting project. He assembled a team who helped him create an outdoor studio at Bois de Boulogne, a park located near Paris that's 2 1/2 times the size of New York's Central Park. He stopped joggers, asking them for a favor - would they sprint for him and then pose right after for his camera? Many obliged. Out of breath, these joggers showed an overwhelming amount of fatigue on their faces.

Russian Technologies set to buy blocking stake in national operating system This summer Russian Technologies, a state corporation aiming to help fuel future technological breakthroughs in Russia, acquired a blocking stake in Alt Linux, a Russian company developing and distributing free off-the-shelf and customized software, and put itself forward as the national operating system operator. The fact that Russian Technologies asked the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media to appoint it operator of the national operating system has been confirmed to this paper by a ministerial source and a top manager of a major Russian IT company. France's Mandriva S.A. open source software company may compete with Russian Technologies in implementing this project, due to annually receive an estimated 10 billion rubles ($306 million) worth of federal allocations. The national operating system is being developed under the new Information Society state program, Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Media Ilya Massukh said recently. The operator will be selected through a tender to be held in early 2011. Russian Technologies, which bought a blocking stake in Alt Linux through its subsidiary Sirius in July 2010, may eventually acquire a controlling interest. The New Generation Initiative (NGI) Foundation, established by Artur Akopyan, former financial director of Russia's Synterra telecommunications operator and currently managing director of private equity firm Sloane Square Capital Partners (SSCP), also wants to help establish the national operating system. This summer NGI bought a minority stake in Mandriva, which is also involved in the project. In essence, this involves the introduction of free software, first introduced in Russian schools in 2007, in Russian state agencies. At that time, then First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and software developers agreed on acquiring a software package at federal expense for a period of three years and the simultaneous development of software that works in a similar way. A total of 2.7 billion rubles ($88.2 million) was allocated to provide schools with licensed software. In 2007-2008, the Armada group teamed up with Alt Linux to deliver software packages to schools in three pilot regions, namely, Tatarstan, the Perm Territory and the Tomsk Region, but it failed to win a nationwide school-software supply tender in 2009. Alt Linux CEO Alexei Smirnov said the National Research Institute of Control Automation in the Non-Industrial Sector (VNIINS), which had developed a Linux version of software from Red Hat, Inc., a major Linux distribution vendor, for the Russian Armed Forces was the company's real rival.

Could this new book kill the Kindle? | Books | The Guardian

by karlcow, 1 comment

If you've ever whined about how the Kindle, compact though it may be, doesn't have the look or feel of a nice printed novel – put this in your pipe and read it: the newly invented "flipback" book. Released in Britain this summer, it is being touted as the, er, new Kindle: the tome that's smaller and lighter than an e-reader, but made out of pages, not bytes.

beaches in summer time. Massification of art viewing.

These two (optional) additions to the overall experience would be great if, in spite of a strict reservation system, the exhibition hadn’t been so awfully crowded.

Flickr : MATE Beijing Lovers

by karlcow

I am an Explorer of Human Nature.

Beijing is my Hunting ground. I hear the City breathing in the Hot wet Air of the Summer, I hear the Clinch in the Cold Winter. The splashing of the Strong but Rear Rain of old and new Roofs.

This City is in a state of rebirth, everything is building and rediscovering. Beijing is not existing yet, just a Puzzle of endless fractures of different Centuries.

I can see it, The Desire, the Sex, The Loneliness. I will Photograph it and keep it for the time and me.

WHO KILLED SUMMER?

by gregg
n a 20-episode online/mobile drama entitled "Who Killed Summer?" The show, which is sponsored by Vodafone and which launched last week, is a mock-reality TV series that is billed as following "six young, hot music lovers from across Europe" as they "hit the hottest gigs, the best festivals and the wildest parties, capturing content on their mobiles, while a film crew records every intimate moment in high definition." One of the six "young, hot music lovers" will, of course, be murdered. The show, which can be viewed on a dedicated Web site (wks09.com), via an embeddable widget, or via a downloadable mobile application, invites viewers to follow its characters via Twitter, Facebook and Flickr, as well as via its various characters' blogs.
