Hackers modificam máquina de escrever para receber Twitter

Do Terra

A equipe da oomlout, uma empresa britânica especializada na venda de peças e kits para entusiastas da eletrônica, gosta tanto do Twitter que desenvolveu um meio inusitado para ficar a par de tudo o que é dito na rede social: conectou à internet uma máquina de escrever elétrica, que transcreve automaticamente em papel sulfite, em duas vias com papel carbono, todas as mensagens.

A "TwypeWritter", como foi chamada, usa uma máquina de escrever Smith Corona modelo XL 2700 ligada a uma placa Arduino, muito popular entre os "hobbystas" por seu baixo custo, expansibilidade e mentalidade Open Source. A placa, por sua vez, foi ligada a uma interface de rede e esta à internet.

Um software rodando na Arduino monitora constantemente o Twitter em busca de mensagens que contenham uma "hashtag" (nome dado às palavras-chave usadas pelos usuários) específica, como "#haiku". A máquina recebe o texto através de uma interface serial e o transcreve para o papel.

Infelizmente, os hackers não documentaram a interface entre a Arduino e a máquina de escrever, embora tenham liberado o código-fonte do software na página oficial do projeto, http://oomlout.co.uk.

Você é um Gmail ninja?

Post do blog do Gmail. Eu já uso muitos desses atalhos. Acho que sou faixa preta.. :)

So, you want to be a Gmail ninja?



If you got 100 new messages, how long would it take you to get through them all? An hour? Five minutes? How would you find the important ones, reply to the ones that require an immediate reply, and mark the ones that you needed to take care of later? Would you use stars, filters, keyboard shortcuts, labels? What about Gmail Labs like tasks or canned responses?

Everybody has their own system for managing email, but some are definitely more efficient than others. Even if you only get a few messages a day, there are probably some simple things you can do to make it easier to get through your inbox and maybe even have a little fun along the way. We know time is valuable, so we asked lots of Googlers for their tips and tricks on how they make the most of Gmail, and we combined the best of these into a guide at www.gmail.com/tips, cheekily entitled "Become a Gmail Ninja." The tips are categorized into ninja belts (white, green, black and master ) based on how much mail you get each day.



For a handy reference that you can pin to your wall or keep on your desk, we even made a printable version of the guide where all the tips fit on one page front and back. And for the first 1024 of you who want them, we'll send a limited-edition, laminated guide for free. Just fill out this form with your address. Sorry, we can only ship to addresses in the US. If you're not one of the lucky 1024, you can still buy a laminated guide at www.barcharts.com.



If you're already a Gmail ninja and have your own tips you'd like to share, let us know and we'll add the best ones to the online guide.

*Our lawyers asked us to make sure it was clear that your contact information won't be maintained longer than necessary to send you the laminated guide and that this offer is "void where prohibited and only while supplies last."

Update (11:59am): Well, that was fast. We've run out of the free laminated guides, but if you weren't part of the first 1024 people to sign up, you can still can buy them for $1.25 at www.barcharts.com/gmail.
