Curiosidades na internet

The wife of Monolith Soft Director Tetsuya Takahashi, Kaori Tanaka, also known by her pen name, Soraya Saga, has retweeted a tweet sent out by Nintendo that reminds fans that this year's pre-E3 Nintendo Direct will air on Tuesday, June 11th. Based on her retweet, people are assuming that Monolith Soft's first Wii U game, code-named "X," will be featured on the pre-E3 broadcast.

A few weeks ago, Google briefly made a "Google Now" topics page available on the web and then took it down again. The page showed a list of topics Google believed you were interested in, based on your search history. Now this feature is back, but it's a bit different from the leaked page. A few days ago, it seems, the company quietly (re-)launched this feature with the latest Google Now update.

The fifth game in the Scribblenauts series, titled Scribblenauts Unmasked - A DC Comics Adventure, is coming this fall to the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PC. The game stars the series' main character, Maxwell, and features a slew of DC Comics characters. On the Wii U and PC versions of the game, players can create their own Super Hero or Super Villain using items from the DC Universe, and then share those creations with other players via the Internet.

Digital dating is nothing to scoff at; it's a big business, and it's changed a lot of lives -- mostly for the better. Yet, while dating has seen enormous progress during the Digital Era, there's still a lot garbage out there, and the space is still mostly dominated by a handful of old names. A gaggle of dating sites and apps have appeared over the past five years, but few have had real staying power, and many have gone the way of the dinosaur.

Being one of the first cyborgs in the world, I have been privy to a unique set of bizarre experiences that have led to some early observations and theories about the future of Google Glass and wearable technology.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer ruffled feathers in the photography world earlier this week when she said "there's no such thing, really, as professional photographers." Photographers thought Mayer was dissing their jobs, while the tech executive said all she meant was that updates to the basic Flickr service will give users the same kind of space and resources that professionals expect. Yet she apologized profusely – and individually – to the offended photographers via Twitter:

Respected tech analysis site Digital Foundry has recently compared performance comparisons between Resident Evil Revelations HD. The publication says that the Wii U version of the game is noticeably less refined than the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 versions of the game. Digital Foundry says that the Wii U version of Resident Evil Revelations contains some small but frequent fluctuations in smoothness adding some noticeable stutter to the overall experience.

Your government is worried. The world is "going dark." Once upon a time, telephones were the only way to talk to someone far away, and the authorities could wiretap any phone they wanted. Nowadays, though, suspects might be communicating via Facebook, Google Hangouts, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Skype, Viber. And so, inevitably: “Today, if you’re a tech company that’s created a new and popular way to communicate, it’s only a matter of time before the FBI shows up with a court order to read or hear some conversation.”

Sean and Giancarlo from Precursor Games have posted a walkthrough of the Shadow of the Eternals demo. The video also breaks down the technical aspects of the impressive CryEngine 3. Shadow of the Eternals is part of a Kickstarter campaign which is seeking $1.5 million to create a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness under the title Shadow of the Eternals, to be released for Wii U and PC.

O Galaxy S3 não é mais o atual top de linha da Samsung, mas nem por isso os donos do gadget deixarão de receber novidades. O Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean preparado para o aparelho vazou na rede e revelou que o smartphone receberá diversas novidades do seu irmão mais novo, o Galaxy S4. Entre elas estão a nova tela de bloqueio com 

At TEDActive 2011, JD Schramm shares the story of his friend, John, who, after surviving a suicide attempt, found that there were few resources available for someone in his position to be able to communicate the hardship he experienced and the depression he continued to battle. And there are others in this position, too – as Schramm points out, 19 out of 20 people who attempt suicide live but feel extreme isolation from others.

(LOS ANGELES) — It seems that the impossible has occurred: The nation's most congested city has become a model for traffic control.

Yes, gridlock still prevails and drivers' blood pressure still spikes as LA's traffic arteries seize up during every morning and afternoon rush hour.

Yet, with the flip of a switch earlier this year, Los Angeles became a worldwide leader by synchronizing all of its nearly 4,400 stoplights, making it the world's first major city to do so.

Google Buzz, the social service that Google launched way back in 2010 and then killed in 2011, reminded former users that their data still lives in and will be moved over to your Google Drive accounts in July. That's lovely.

The email describes exactly what will happen with your data, which won't count against your Drive storage limits, thankfully.

Since it’s LA Tech Month here at PandoDaily I thought I’d take the opportunity to spill the unpleasant truth about my adopted hometown. Just like our cousins in Hollywood, where tabloid-friendly party monsters get all the press while hard working talent is ignored, this same dynamic has carried over into the Los Angeles tech ecosystem as represented by the undeserved, and frankly inappropriate, focus on “Silicon Beach.”

Hardly a financial quarter passes for Hewlett-Packard when there isn't an abundant use of the term “headwinds.” It's a great term for a company in turnaround to use because it refers to innumerable, vague factors that are out of your hands. Who can stop the wind from blowing? Not even a CEO who drew $15.4 million in compensation last year can manage that.

Adly, a startup that connects advertisers with celebrities willing to post promoted messages on social networks, recently raised $2 million in additional funding.

The new funding came from previous backer GRP Partners and new investor Siemer Ventures. Adly has now raised a total of $7.5 million.

The company also launched a new product this week. It's the first thing you'll see if you go to the…

It appears as though consumers in the U.K. weren't pleased with Microsoft's Xbox One press conference on Tuesday. Before the company revealed its next-generation console, the Wii U console's sales rank was at #390 on Amazon UK. Shortly after the Xbox One conference, the Wii U console's sales rank apparently jumped by a whopping 875 percent, elevating its rank to #40 on the online retailer.
