Here’s an easy one: 1+2-(3-4-5)*6*7*8-9
How about 1*(2+(3-4*(5/6-7))*8)*9
Or maybe 1+2345*6/7+8-9
Or (1-(23+4)*5)*(6/(7-8)-9
Maybe .1+23*(45+6*7)+8+.9
Even 1-(.2+(3+.4)*(5+67))*(.8-9)

After Google secured a place in mobile advertising with a $750 million purchase of AdMob, there’s talk that Apple has purchased Quattro Wireless, an AdMob competitor, for $275 million. What’s Apple getting into now?
This feels like a continuation of what we saw happening during the LaLa deal when suggestions went around that Apple stole the company from under Google’s nose as retaliation for Google’s purchase of AdMob. Geez. At the rate this is going, someone will be crying soon, but at least we know that Apple is definitely starting to take the Internet seriously now.
As far as speculating over Apple’s motivation beyond simply slapping Google across the face, this would seem to be a move to gain control of the mobile advertising platform on the iPhone. Beyond that, perhaps there’s motivation for ad placement within apps, or maybe the entire thing is all about a new product. Whatever the deal is, here’s hoping we find out more soon. [All Things D]
The iPhone continues to lead in user interest surveys, but Android is closing in fast. New data from research firm ChangeWave shows that users are definitely interested in Google’s mobile OS, with a massive jump in the number of potential buyers eyeing Android-capable phones in its latest survey.
ChangeWave queried 4,068 current and potential smartphone consumers last month and noted that a full 21 percent said that they would prefer Android on their next smartphones—a jump of 15 percentage points from the year before. Comparatively, 28 percent of respondents said they would prefer iPhone OS; this makes the iPhone the leader in this category, though this number dropped four percentage points year over year. BlackBerry/RIM OS went up by one point to 18 percent, and those interested in Windows Mobile dropped from nine to a mere six percent. The only mobile OS sadder than WinMo appears to be Palm/Web OS, which dropped from six to three percent.
When it comes to user satisfaction, Apple and Google are neck-and-neck. Seventy-seven percent of iPhone users reported being “very satisfied” with their devices, compared to 72 percent of Android users, 41 percent of BlackBerry users, 33 percent of Palm users, and 25 percent of Windows Mobile users. (ChangeWave points out that for the Palm Pre specifically, the number was 58 percent.)
This isn’t to say that the iPhone is going to fall prey to Android phones tomorrow—ChangeWave pointed out that customers who plan to buy in the next 90 days still overwhelmingly prefer the iPhone, and interest in the iPhone 3GS has not dropped off as quickly as it did for the iPhone 3G. However, it does show that Google has succeeded in turning the heat up on the smartphone competition, no doubt aided by the highly anticipated launch of the Nexus One.

Forget about any Olympics inauguration ceremonies or any Fourth of July: The Burj Dubai is the tallest building in the world, and it got the highest fireworks too for its opening ceremony. So colossal you’ll think they are destroying it.
The tower—which officially is 2717 feet tall (828 meters)—was inaugurated today, and the developers launched it with all they got. The people who attended the ceremony couldn’t stop cheering in awe. I don’t blame them. Watch the whole video to see the lighting effects just before the final fireworks. They look designed by aliens.
La idea de este tema es colocar una foto diaria ya sea urbana, natural, que represente alguna tradición costarricense o cualquier otra imagen que represente nuestro país.
Acá no vamos a colocar nuestras fotos, la idea es tratar de buscar en internet imágenes con muy buena resolución y que nos resulten atractivas. De esta forma, vamos a convetir en este hilo, un "remix" de todos los temas del foro y unirlos en este tema para mostrar de una forma más completa nuestro país.
Para que se vea más ordenado, tratemos de buscar imágenes grandes y para el título usemos letra Impact tamaño 6 color negro para hacerlo más uniforme.
Saludos y comencemos con las imágenes.

After writing this morning about the Glare LA-9/P, a device that can blind people from 2.5 miles away, I got this video of a product called the Dazer Laser. It seems like a joke, but it’s real. I think?
I just love the swoosh sounds—I think the guy doing the voice over makes them. Or the way the suspect doesn’t turn away and starts running. And their script: “Dazer Laser will effectively disrupt and stop the perpetration of wrongdoing!” or “Dazer Laser, saving lives one daze at a time.”
This is an instant classic, I tell you.

Morre aos 85 anos o coronel Erasmo Dias
Ex-secretário de Segurança estava internado desde o dia 2.
Coronel ficou conhecido por ter liderado invasão à PUC-SP.
Do G1, em São Paulo
Morreu na noite desta segunda-feira (4) em São Paulo o coronel Erasmo Dias, aos 85 anos. O ex-secretário de Segurança Pública de São Paulo, de acordo com a família, estava internado desde o dia 2 no Hospital do Câncer, na capital paulista.
O coronel ficou conhecido por ter liderado uma invasão à Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), em 22 de setembro de 1977, onde uma reunião de estudantes pretendia refundar a União Nacional dos Estudantes (UNE).
Formado em História pela Universidade de São Paulo (USP) e bacharel em Direito pela Universidade Guanabara, Dias assumiu a Secretaria de Segurança em São Paulo entre março de 1974 e março de 1979, durante o governo de Paulo Egídio Martins.
Posteriormente foi deputado federal, deputado estadual e, por fim, vereador do Partido Progressista (PP) pela cidade de São Paulo.
Erasmo Dias será velado durante a madrugada na Assembleia Legislativa de São Paulo. O enterro será nesta terça-feira (5) no cemitério Paquetá, em Santos.

Wedding Crasher Vince Vaughn has tied the knot.
The big screen funny guy married Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber near his hometown of Chicago last Saturday, a rep for the actor has confirmed.
Vince, 39, proposed to the 31-year-old Calgary native last Valentine’s Day. The actor — best known for his comedy features like Swingers and Couple’s Retreat – has kept his relationship with Kayla under the radar, following hishigh-profile romance with his The Break-Up co-star Jennifer Aniston.
The couple split in 2006.
Casey lost custody of little Ava because of her erratic behavior.
According to the New York Post, Johnson’s father, New York Jet owner Woody Johnson, had recently restricted Casey’s access to funds because she wouldn’t get her life together. She had been in rehab several times but was unable to clean up her act.
TMZ spoke to Tila Tequila who says that she had gotten into an argument with Casey last week and she left the house. She says that she tried contacting Casey on the 29th but her phone had been shut off since the 29th.
She last tweeted on December 29 at 1:13 AM.
Tila just updated her Twitter with the following message:
Everyone please pray 4 my Wifey Casey Johnson. She has passed away. Thank u for all ur love and support but I will be offline to be w family.
Socialite CASEY JOHNSON has died, aged 30.
The body of the heiress to the Johnson & Johnson empire was discovered on Monday morning (04Jan10) in Los Angeles.
The tragic news comes just weeks after Johnson was arrested for grand theft.
She hit the headlines in December (09) when bisexual reality TV star Tila Tequila announced she was engaged to Johnson.
Details about the heiress’ death were not available as WENN went to press.

Engadget’s Josh Topolsky got to chat with none other than Woz recently, and they’ve finally shared a great video of their meeting. Woz says a lot of interesting things in the video (he runs six navigation systems at a time in his car just for comparison’s sake, and carries two iPhones nowadays, just in case the battery life runs out), but the most intriguing thing about this video is just seeing the great Wozniak thinking machine race along at the speed of Woz.
For example, those two iPhones he carries are the two different colors available. Why? “White and black, black and white. Resistor color codes: zero and nine. Those are the digits they end in!” Gosh, we love Steve Wozniak. You can watch the whole video after clicking the link below.

Looks like some Asian website, as Photo Rumors puts it, made a boo-boo and published its Panasonic point-and-shoot a tad early. Specs for six (and press photos for four) Lumix cameras have come to light. Here’s what’s the gang reportedly found, in a nutshell: the very compact, 14.1-megapixel FP3 has a 3-inch touchscreen LCD, 4x zoom, shoots 720p 30 frames per second video, and comes in a variety of colors; the FP1 similar in stature but with 12.1 megapixels and a 2.7-inch non-touchscreen LCD instead. The Lumix F3 drops the “very compact” look of the FP1 but is also 12.1 megapixels / 3x zoom, 720p 30fps video, and 2.7-inch LCD. The FH20 has a 14.1 megapixel sensor, 8x zoom, 720p video, and a Venus Engine IV image processor, which is also reportedly claimed by the the FH1 (12 megapixels, 5x zoom) and FH3 (14.1 megapixels, 5x zoom). It’s just that time of the season, eh?

Then I slid down the slippery slope of lack of discipline and denial. This November my wife took me to the emergency room as I was an inch away from a coma with DKA. My blood glucose was over 600 and my A1c was 12.5. I also had pnemonia and H1N1.
I spent 9 days in the hospital, lost 23 pounds during the whole sickness and came home on insulin. Lantus for my basal and Novolog for my meals. What a change. No more breakfasts of 2 moon pies and 4 hot dogs.
The insulin seems to be working and my control is better than it has ever been. I am curious if there are any other diabetics that have never experienced a hypoglycemic episode. My blood glucose has never been able to go low enough to trigger one. Even on the insulin, with 3 meals per day and no snacks, which is a suprise to me.
I am told I will always need insulin, but I am not so sure. I have noticed that this forum is full of great information and have learned much already. I look forward to learning more and contributing as well.
Jake Pavelka: I didn’t go in pushing. The show does have a bit of a rough history, with people breaking up or changing their minds, and that’s OK. I tried to be very honest no matter how painful it was and I just remained open-minded.
Jake’s cousin, Jessie Pavelka, also happens to be unmarried and has TV experience. The 27-year-old fitness model and personal trainer hosts the Lifetime series “Diet Tribe” and appeared in the network’s original holiday movie “12 Men of Christmas,” alongside Kristin Chenoweth and Josh Hopkins.
Before Pavelka “got his heart broken” by Jillian Harris on Season 5 of The Bachelorette, he was a pilot from Dallas, and a kinda, sort-of former actor (stage name Jake Landrum.) If you cruise over to imdb, you’ll find only one credit to his acting career under that soap opera name: The President’s Man, which is actually pretty awesome because it stars Chuck Norris and features some of the best poster art ever designed:
Chuck Norris The President’s Man
After Harris rejected Pavelka, scores of other American women sent in love notes to ABC saying that they wanted to divorce their husbands and would give away their children and/or toy dogs just for a chance to dress up in a discounted pageant gown and drink champagne with him. Pavelka is classically cute, he’s got a symmetrical face with dimples, blue eyes, blond hair, and a buff bod. Thankfully for ABC he also has the ability to rattle off romance cliches at a breathtaking pace without once cracking a smile. A gem from tonight’s episode: “Love’s more powerful than flying.”
Yes, Jake, yes it is, or should we call you Jacob? It turns out Jake is a nickname (shocking) for, wait for it, Jacob. One of the pilot’s Dallas neighbors sent in a rumor to Astrochicks that Jacob Pavelka was actually married during the taping of The Bachelorette, but they didn’t seem to have much evidence to back up that accusation.
