El año pasado decidieron asumir una identidad distinta, una que les permitiera seguir conectados con lo que pasa afuera. Desde la misma celda y con seudónimos fáciles de reconocer en la red, el Preso venezolano y el Preso venezolano 2, crearon un blog para exorcizar su cotidianidad en la cárcel. Luego colocaron imágenes en Youtube para denunciar lo que viven tras las rejas, y armaron una página en Facebook, que pronto tuvo 500 amigos.Hace poco, y para evitar que los rastreen, la sustituyeron por otra con un perfil falso. Más de 220 personas figuran entre sus amigos, incluyendo otros internos como Iván Simonovis, Lázaro Forero y varios personajes públicos (periodistas, abogados, organizaciones de derechos humanos, activistas del movimiento estudiantil).Ahora están en prisiones distintas, pero eso no impide que se hablen cuando quieran por teléfono y alimenten a diario sus páginas en el ciberespacio. Están por lanzar una revista digital y todos los días chatean usando varios operadores en Internet.Vitrina cibernéticaNo es descabellado que en un país como Venezuela exista un caso como este: recluso con celular, blog, Facebook, cuenta en Youtube y acceso a chat.Primero, porque en las cárceles criollas penetran desde armas militares hasta la tecnología de última generación. Segundo, porque este país es altísimo consumidor de herramientas tecnológicas.Según la Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones y los estudios de Tendencias Digitales, 98% de los venezolanos posee celular y 20% se conecta siempre a Internet (casi 6 millones de personas). Sólo el año pasado, el uso de Facebook aumentó 1.200%.Estos datos del mercado local pueden extrapolarse a la realidad carcelaria. La mayor parte de los reclusos mantiene un celular y algunos se las ingenian para conectarse a Internet (pagando "condominio" por esos servicios, por supuesto).El Gobierno emprendió un plan de formación tecnológica en varios planteles y ha instalado infocentros en las cárceles de Tocuyito, Guárico y Los Teques. Sin embargo, los internos buscan la manera de conectarse desde otros recintos. Varios le han agarrado el gusto a la informática, como el Preso venezolano y el Preso venezolano 2.
En el blog, creado en agosto de 2008, difunden desde artículos de opinión (escritos por ellos, por "corresponsales de otras prisiones", por especialistas), leyes, informes actualizados de la situación penitenciaria, noticias y videos de denuncias, hasta imágenes de masacres carcelarias.Los internos justifican -en una llamada en conferencia desde sus celulares- su osadía cibernética con una frase lapidaria: "Abrimos esa vitrina porque nadie nos para bolas". Dicen ser la voz de los 24.000 reclusos que habitan hoy en las cárceles venezolanas."Imagina estar encerrado los 365 días del año. Uno aquí puede sucumbir a la delincuencia, a las armas, a la droga. Antes de que el sistema carcelario nos dañe, decidimos enfocarnos en la tecnología".

El sitio online de microblogging tiene multitud de usos, más o menos prácticos, pero en cuanto a uso curioso, destacamos el que le da el Henry Ford Hospital. Los cirujanos ofrecen de forma actualizada el estado de la operación.
El servicio es ofrecido a través de Twitter, mediante el canal oficial HenryFordNews. El jefe de cirujía del hospital, el Dr. Craig Rogers, ha afirmado que la intención de usar Twitter la vez inicial era dar a conocer a la gente que un tumor podía ser eliminado sin quitar completamente un riñón.
El co-fundador del sitio web changehealthcare.com, Christopher Parks, ha afirmado que “hacer eso elimina una barrera real de comunicación y ayuda a hacer algo que da miedo mucho más comprensible“.
Según parece, la próxima operación-Twitter se llevará a cabo el 6 de marzo.
DETROIT, Michigan (CNN) -- It's 7 a.m. at Henry Ford Hospital, and surgeons are preparing to remove a cancerous tumor from a man's kidney.
It's potentially a risky surgery, but everything's ready: The doctors and nurses are in the operating room, the surgical instruments are sterilized and ready to go, and the chief resident is furiously Twittering on his laptop.
That's right -- last week, for the second known time, surgeons Twittered a surgery by using social-networking site Twitter to give short real-time updates about the procedure.
Following the February 9 operation online were other doctors, medical students and the merely curious."Here's something different: HenryFordNews is live tweeting surgery today, getting some buzz, too," wrote one Twitter participant from Massachusetts.
"I find this fascinating!" tweeted another Twitter user from Swansea, United Kingdom.
"It's an interesting use of technology, but I can't help but feel a bit 'eeewww!' about this," wrote a third tweeter from New York.
Why twitter a surgery?
Whether it's new and cool or merely yicky, observers say there's no question that more and more doctors -- and patients -- will be sharing the blow-by-blow of medical procedures on sites like Twitter and Facebook.
Dr. Craig Rogers, the lead surgeon in the Henry Ford surgery, said the impetus for his Twittering was to let people know that a tumor can be removed without taking the entire kidney.
"We're trying to use this as a way to get the word out," Rogers said.
Observers say Twittering about a procedure is a natural outgrowth of the social networking media revolution.
"Doing this removes a real communication barrier. It helps make something scary much more comprehendable," said Christopher Parks, co-founder of the Web site changehealthcare.com. "It brings us closer together and makes us more engaged."
Four months ago, Park's colleague, Robert Hendrick, tweeted his own varicose vein removal surgery here as it was happening (he was, obviously, under local anesthesia).
"It redirected my attention and allowed me to minimize some of the nervousness around what was going on. It felt like I had family and friends there to support me," Hendrick wrote in an e-mail.
"I wanted a record for other people who might be interested in the same surgery," added Hendrick, who also posted photos and video of his surgery. "It later allowed me to connect with others with the same issues."
As time goes by and the younger generation moves into medicine, expect even more sharing online of private medical procedures, Parks says.
"Newer and newer generations are used to putting their life online," he said. "This generation shares everything."
"Gosh, this is big"
Twitter users -- those "tweeple" -- who kept up with the Henry Ford procedure online got to share some medical drama in real time. (You can read the "Tweetstream" or watch video of the tumor removal on YouTube).
As Rogers got closer to the tumor, he realized it was far larger than it had appeared on a CT scan, and he wondered out loud whether he would have to remove the entire kidney -- something he'd been trying to avoid.
"Gosh, this is big," he said to his colleagues in the operating room. "Could I have picked a harder case for this?"
As Rogers worked away on his robotic machinery, the chief resident, Dr. Raj Laungani, Twittered: "Dr. Rogers is saying because the tumor is so large he may have to do a radical (total) nephrectomy."
After conferring with Laungani and others in the operating room, Rogers decided he could remove just part of the kidney. Then came another challenge: In a surgery like this one, doctors have to restrict blood flow to the kidney with clamps while they remove the tumor.
Those clamps then have to be removed within 30 minutes so the kidney isn't damaged by the lack of blood. iReport.com: Would you allow your surgeon to "tweet"?
"The goal is to keep the clamp time below 30 minutes," Laungani Twittered. "25 minutes left!!!"
Approximately 25 minutes later, Laungani shared his relief with all of Twitterville: "Tumor is excised, bleeding is controlled, we are about to come off clamp," he wrote.
In the end, Rogers had the last tweet. "The robotic partial nephrectomy was a success," he wrote. "Thank you for joining us today."
Informática móvil tiene mejor con los componentes más ligeros, más chips y procesadores más rápidos. Pero el talón de Aquiles de un ordenador portátil se ha mantenido la batería. Así que aquí se lo vamos a buscar formas de aumentar la duración de la batería portátil.
Intensivo de gráficos modernos sistemas operativos y aplicaciones de recursos son la tala de la vida de la batería de su portátil todos los días. El promedio de duración de la batería por el uso continuo se mantiene en un máximo de tres a cuatro horas. Por lo tanto, un rápido agotamiento de las pilas podría muy rápidamente las muletas en tu móvil "viaje por carretera.
La caída de poco menos de llevar un paquete de baterías en el back-pack, son varias maneras de mantener el jugo que fluye a través de las pilas.
Desfragmentación regular ayuda a organizar datos de manera más eficiente por lo que el disco duro trabajar menos para acceder a los datos. El rápido movimiento de la unidad de disco duro de obras es menor la carga en la batería. Por lo tanto, su masa puede durar más tiempo. El efecto es mínimo, pero la eficiencia va de la mano con el mantenimiento del disco duro.
Fin de fondo los procesos que no son de vital importancia. Supervisar el uso de los recursos a través de un "Ctrl-Alt-Supr", que abre el Administrador de tareas de Windows (en Windows). Si no estás en Internet, que es seguro apagar el inmediato no esenciales los programas en ejecución en la barra de tareas como el antivirus y el firewall. Eliminar los programas innecesarios ejecutando como la creación de empresas mediante el lanzamiento de la Utilidad de configuración del sistema de Ejecutar - Msconfig - Ficha: Inicio. Desmarca los programas que usted no desea poner en marcha y una vez que reinicie el ordenador.
Puede ser una o desfragmentar un análisis de virus, pero asegúrese de que está prevista para un momento en que esté cerca de una toma de corriente. Si no se les nix, por el momento.
Los dispositivos USB son los mayores drainers de energía de la batería. Desconecte todos los dispositivos externos como un ratón externo, tarjetas de PC, Wi-Fi, altavoces externos, Bluetooth e incluso un iPod adjunta.
Incluso si no la intención de utilizar, no salir de cualquier CD / DVD como restos en las unidades. Una unidad de hilado chupa la energía de la batería como una esponja.
Desista utilizando el lector de DVD / unidades externas, mientras que se ejecuta en las pilas.Cambiar el contenido al disco duro o ejecutar utilizando (gratuito) como unidades virtuales Pismo Monte o incluso archivos de Microsoft Virtual de CD-ROM Panel de control.
La pantalla LCD de una computadora portátil es un enorme sumidero de energía. Calibrar el brillo al nivel más bajo se puede tolerar el uso de la tecla de función o cambia la configuración de la pantalla utilizando el applet en el Panel de control.
Silenciar los altavoces e intenta evitar el uso de software multimedia para aprovechar al máximo la duración de la batería. Sistemas de sonido instalados también una fuga de la batería sensiblemente.
Para maximizar la duración de la batería por un poco, apagar el salvapantallas.
Familiarizarse con la administración de energía a través de la 'Opciones de energía "applet en el Panel de control. Ambos XP y Vista vienen con avanzadas características de administración de energía que apague el monitor, como los componentes y / o el disco duro después de los intervalos especificados. Esto, a su vez depende de los elegidos "Esquemas de energía" (para XP) en el mismo subprograma. Por ejemplo, en XP, 'Max batería "en los regímenes de alimentación pueden ser seleccionados para la máxima optimización de la batería.
Similares se pueden encontrar en 'Mobile PC' en el Panel de Control de Vista.
Hoy OS como Windows Vista viene con características como "Aero Glass", que son recursos guzzlers. Uno puede apagarlo e ir a la 'Classic' apariencia que consume menos energía. En Vista, haga clic en el escritorio - Preferencias - Ver Color - Apariencia - Apariencia Clásica y básica interfaz gráfica de Windows. En XP es - Propiedades de pantalla - Tema - Clásico de Windows.
Linux y Macintosh son incluso mejores optimizada para mayor duración de la batería.
En el modo Stand By (o modo de reposo), el ordenador se enciende de la unidad de disco duro y la pantalla, pero la memoria permanece activa mientras la CPU se ralentiza. Esto se basa en la batería. En cambio, el modo de hibernación es mejor porque el equipo guarda el estado actual y se cierra por completo por lo tanto, el ahorro de energía.
Trabajando en muchos programas al mismo tiempo de la batería es un seguro de poder de fuego escurridor. Mantenga el uso de aplicaciones gráficas al mínimo. Trabajando en una hoja de cálculo que consume mucho menos que jugar su juego favorito. Para aumentar la vida de la batería abierto sólo uno o dos programas simultáneamente.
RAM adecuada reduce la carga en la memoria virtual que por defecto reside en el disco duro. A pesar de todos los bits de memoria RAM adicional utiliza más energía, aumenta el ahorro global de una breve corte de acceso a los hambrientos de potencia disco duro.
Un portátil con aire bloqueado generará más calor reduciendo así la vida de la batería. Limpie las aberturas de aire con regularidad para mantener las temperaturas de funcionamiento bajos. Para permitir que los espacios abiertos alrededor de las rejillas de ventilación para el aire circule libremente. Mantenga el área alrededor de la computadora portátil limpio para evitar la entrada de polvo.
Excesiva de calor mata de una batería de forma lenta pero segura. Evite dejar el portátil bajo la luz directa del sol o en el interior de un vehículo cerrado.
Un problema más para los mayores de Ni-MH baterías de Li-Ion para las pilas en la que la mayoría de los ordenadores portátiles modernos plazo. Efecto de memoria se refiere a la pérdida de carga de la batería cuando se recarga después de haber sido reiteradamente sólo parcialmente descargada. Puede ser impedida por el desempeño de la batería completamente y luego se recarga completamente. Baterías de Li-Ion por otro lado no tienen problemas con las descargas parciales y re-cargos y descarga completa nunca es recomendado para este tipo.
Esto suena un poco incongruente, pero luego los nuevos controladores y software son a menudo diseñados para ser más eficiente (y es de esperar menos de recursos).
Asegúrese de que el adaptador que se utiliza para cargar la batería portátil es un original o una correcta con el pliego de condiciones. Un desfase en la potencia podría causar una sobrecarga por lo tanto dañar el ordenador portátil y la batería.
Si no va a utilizar el portátil en las baterías durante bastante tiempo, garantizar que la carga es casi el 40 por ciento - de sacar las pilas y almacene en un lugar fresco.
Una batería de iones de litio tiene una vida media de 2-3 años. Con cuidado y prudencia, su mortalidad se puede retrasar.
