The Teletransporter by Cerveza Andes

By Romeo Marquez | English, Interactive Advertising, Marketing, Video | No Comments »

I’ve never been a huge fan of beer, although i have to admit that some of the best commercials of all times were made for beer.

This is an awesome example of great creativity to advertise beer. I won’t spoil it for you, so please take a look:
For some reason, embedding youtube videos is not working at the moment, so please, see the video here

Campaign against cyberbullying

By Romeo Marquez | English, Interactive Advertising, Video | No Comments »

I just love it when YouTube allows someone to do something crazy with their channel, like the time when Nintendo promoted Wario Land or when Acciona shattered YouTube.
Well, this time it’s oceanking97’s channel doing something unexpected!

This is the latest campaign by the US National Crime Prevention Council to prevent cyberbullying.

I don’t want to ruin it for anyone, so please watch it yourself and let me know what you think:

Mejorar la velocidad de navegación de Firefox

By Jesús Sánchez | Español, Software | 1 Comment »

Existen un par de trucos, desde la publicación de las primeras versiones, de Firefox, las cuales te permiten mejorar la velocidad con la que se despliegan las páginas.

Lo primero que tienes que hacer es abrir la “fuente” configuración de firefox, escribes about:config en la barra de direcciones y presionas enter. Te va a abrir una página de advertencia, haces click en ‘aceptar’ o ‘estoy de acuerdo’ y verás una lista de propiedades que puedes editar. Sin embargo, también hay una barra de ‘filtro’. Ahí escribes: pipelining.

En los resultados, cambia los valores a como se muestra en seguida:

  • network.http.pipelining: true
  • network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 8
  • network.http.pipelining.ssl: true
  • network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

Ahora, en el filtro mencionado antes, escribe start-delay y en el único resultado que aparece, cambia el valor a 0:

  • network.http.request.max-start-delay: 0

Al cambiar estas variables, cerramos la pestaña about:config y seguimos navegando, será evidente el cambio en la velocidad de navegación.

Como explicación, se puede decir que un navegador web realiza solo una petición al servidor, el servidor procesa y contesta la petición, entonces, el navegador realiza otra petición, que es procesada y contestada y así sucesivamente.

Sin embargo, la versión HTTP 1.1 permite realizar múltiples peticiones en una misma conexión, una técnica llamada pipelining, y si el servidor está debidamente configurado y soporta pipelining, entonces contestará dichas peticiones en forma de ‘paquete’. Esto aumenta la velocidad de navegación.

Por esto es que modificamos los primeros valores, primero para activar el pipelining (tanto en conexiones normales, como en conexiones SSL y conexiones via proxy, si es posible) y después asignando a 8 el número de peticiones realizadas por cada conexión.

La configuración network.http.request.max-start-delay se refiere a los segundos que puede esperar el navegador a que se liberen las conexiones.

Today I came across this interesting campaign by Lego . It is a pretty nice film about the Eureka moment when a great idea is born and is called Lego Click.

The video of course is one of the many elements of the campaign which includes a site, a facebook fan page and of course an iPhone app!

Our loss of wisdom according to Barry Schwartz

By Romeo Marquez | English, Video | No Comments »

As I wrote back in March, I am a big fan of Ted Talks for their inspirational selection of speakers and topics.

Today I came across a Talk by Barry Schwartz with a fascinating title:
Our loss of wisdom.

TED’s description of the conference couldn’t be more accurate:
Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for “practical wisdom” as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world.

I liked Barry’s Talk, so i thought I’d share it with you:

The flip camera

By Romeo Marquez | English, gelattina | No Comments »

So i finally surrendered to the enchantment of the Flip camcorder!
You might know about it, but for those who don’t, the Flip camera is a compact video recording gadget focused on easing the process of publishing video to the web.

They come in a variety of colors with many different features, from regular video to High Definition!

The one i got is High Definition and records up to 120 minutes!

I bought it because I expect to share more about the life at Gelattina and the Flip will make it so much easier for us!
