Need a pick-me-up this Thursday? Come and join me and the rest of the Youth Food Movement crew for the latest Reel Food Nights. Sit back and enjoy our original short film debut Sourced, while trying a locally crafted beer, cider or iced tea, munch on home made popcorn, and cool off with a hand crafted ice pop. Sourced will enchant you with the stories and farmers behind Sydney’s food, tracing the steps from paddock to plate. You’ll also discover how to become part of the future of small-scale agriculture and localised Sydney food systems. We’ll be hosting an interactive panel discussion with local food experts to keep the night positive and solutions-focused, so you’ll be brimming with delicious ideas for change too.

See you there! I’ll be there wielding my camera and jumping on the bike every now and…

Em um novo esforço para o combate efetivo de crimes na internet, a Microsoft anunciou nessa semana a abertura do Centro de Combate aos Crimes Cibernéticos Microsoft em seu campus de Redmond, nos Estados Unidos. O Centro combina o conhecimento técnico e jurídico da Microsoft a respeito do tema à ferramentas e tecnologias de ponta construídas a partir do conhecimento de vários segmentos da indústria.

Todo ano os crimes cibernéticos geram prejuízos tanto pessoais, como financeiros para milhões de consumidores ao redor do globo. No Brasil, aproximadamente 60% da população diz já ter vivido alguma experiência relacionada a crimes cibernéticos, segundo um estudo recente da Symantec.

O Centro de Combate a Crimes Cibernéticos Microsoft se concentrará em crimes online, incluindo aqueles associados a vírus, botnets (programação remota de infecção de computadores), roubo de propriedade intelectual e exploração infantil realizada com o uso da tecnologia. O principal objetivo da criação desse Centro é garantir que pessoas…

Recent images that have appeared on NeoGAF suggest that Nintendo has greatly increased its presence at US retailer Toys R Us. You can see from the photos provided here that there’s plenty of Nintendo merchandise to be found at the popular retail outlet. So if you’re looking to check out what Nintendo has to offer this holiday season then it’s well worth visiting your local Toys R Us store to get hands on with some of the big games this Christmas.

Thanks, Jimbob

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has promised on GameTrailers that the Wii U won’t see the same kind of software drought that plagued the Wii U during the first half of 2013. Reggie admitted that Nintendo had made a mistake, but they hope to rectify that in 2014 with a steady flow of software for the format.

“The way we’re going to be different is, we’re gonna certainly have a steadier pace of games – both for Wii U and for 3DS.”

“The marketing activity is going to be constant throughout the entire year. You tease me a little bit that ‘boy the first half [of 2013] was a little quiet,’ and y’know what, you look back and it was. We’re not going to be making that same mistake in 2014.”

“So the pace, the ongoing activity, touching the consumer, and messaging what we’re all about. That’s going to be…

Now that Twitter (s twtr) is almost eight years old, has over 200 million users and is a multibillion-dollar company, it’s easy to forget what using the service was like in the early days — what made it seem so special, and how those features helped turn it into a global media entity. That’s why it was so fascinating to read a recent piece at The Atlantic by an anonymous British shepherd, who has become a full-on devotee of Twitter, even as he pursues a way of life that has gone unchanged for centuries.

The account known as @herdyshepherd1 is run by a sheep farmer in Britain’s Lake District, and is the antithesis of the celebrity accounts that have come to dominate Twitter in recent years — the Justin Biebers and Miley Cyruses — and that likely accounts for a large part of its charm. It consists of photos of…

These images of Izabel Goulart were captured by VMagazine last night, backstage at the Yeezus Concert in Madison Square Gardens.

At Dreamforce last week, Salesforce.com(s crm) threw in the towel on its “social enterprise” push and CEO Marc Benioff trotted out a new marketing spiel around the Internet of Things and mobility.

As an example, he talked about his electric toothbrush that will update his dentist about his oral hygiene habits. Pushing these hot buttons is not a bad move for a company that’s not exactly the most mobile-savvy vendor around. Salesforce.com touted alliances with the likes of Dropbox and Evernote, and will sell their applications via AppExchange. But the whole thing also feels a bit like putting lipstick on a chicken — an attempt to assume mobile cred long after it should have embraced mobile devices better than it has.

Salesforce.com also tried to erase confusion around its dual Force.com and Heroku PaaS strategy. How?  By launching Heroku1, a new version of Heroku targeting the Salesforce.com ecosystem. Yeah, I…
