La compañía de ventas por Internet Amazon podría poner a la venta su propio 'smartphone' a finales de este año. Además, la compañía en su intento por expandirse en el mercado de los 'tablets' e ir más allá del éxito en venta de los libros electrónicos, podría también lanzar nuevas versiones del Kindle Fire.
Los planes de Amazon podría estar pensando en ir más allá en las ventas de 'tablets' y libros electrónicos y lanzar su primer 'smartphone' de bajo coste, según ha publicado All things Digital (Milan: DIB.MI - noticias) . Ya en noviembre del año pasado se publicaron rumores que facilitó un analista de Citigroup (NYSE: C - noticias) , donde concretó que el precio podría rondar entre los 150 y 170 dólares (114 y 130 euros).
Pterophyllum scalare, most commonly referred to as angelfish or freshwater angelfish, is the most common species of Pterophyllum kept in captivity. It is native to the Amazon Basin in Peru, Colombia, and Brazil. Particularly to the Ucayali river in Peru, the Oyapock River in French Guiana, the Essequibo River in Guyana, the Solimões, the Amapá, and the Amazon rivers in Brazil. It is found in swamps or flooded grounds where vegetation is dense and the water is either clear or silty. Its native water conditions range from a pH of 6.0 to 7.0, a water hardness range of 3 to 10 °dH, and water temperature ranging from 26 to 30 °C (75 to 86 °F). This is the species of angelfish most frequently found in the aquarium trade. A similar (cross-breeding possible) P. scalare exists in the Orinoco. They are of the same size and shape, the only difference being its stripes: the Orinoco P. scalare has thinner, but dual stripes.
As in many aquarium fishes, inbreeding is a problem. All strange colours are due to heavy inbreeding. In the wild this species is as strong as most other cichlids of similar weight, but strong individuals are very rare in today's aquarium trade. Hence P. scalare should not be kept together with other South American cichlids. If the water isn't "hard" (max. 10 dGH, pH-level matters less for breeding, but should always be between 6.0 and 7.5), this fish breeds very easily after raising the temperature (typically from 26–27 °C to 29–30 °C), but eggs may die and their fry are extremely sensitive to water changes of all kinds for several weeks.
First described by Liechtenstein in 1823, First import to Europe (Germany) by C.Ziggelkow, Hamburg in 1909.
This fish is a resident of Brighton's Sealife centre which has original Victorian architecture of the oldest operating aquarium in the world. Based opposite the iconic pier, SEA LIFE Brighton was built in 1872 and features 3,500 mesmerising creatures including inquisitive sea turtles and magnificent magnificent sharks.
Here at SEA LIFE Brighton visitors can see them all - from the curious and the rescued to the rare and the enigmatic.
Here in the Rainforest Adventure visitors step out of the Victorian Arcade and into the hot and humid rainforest to experience what life is like beneath the tropical treetops. Winding through the roots and tree trunks, rainforest rivers are home to some spectacular fish. Through the roots of a giant tree an Anaconda welcomes you to her home. A trail leads visitors towards a mystical ruined temple where magical Water dragons, colourful Poison Dart Frogs and fearsome Piranhas reside. Around 58,0000 square miles of forest are lost each year to deforestation. That's equivalent to 36 football pitches each minute!

Amazon plans to introduce a limited music streaming feature as early as Thursday, according to several people briefed on its plans.
The new feature, which has been rumored in the music industry for months, will give subscribers to Amazon’s Prime service access to thousands of songs free and without interruptions from advertising. But it will omit most new releases, and will not include the catalog of the Universal Music Group, the world’s largest music company, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Amazon, already one of the biggest retailers of music downloads, is adding the streaming feature as a sweetener for its Prime customers, whose annual subscription fee was recently raised to $99 from $79. Prime subscribers get free shipping on orders and other perks like free access to some movies and television shows. The new music feature will offer a wide but limited selection of titles, and for the most part will not include current hits.

Licensing negotiations with record labels and music publishers began about six months ago, but were slowed by disagreements over financial terms that many music companies considered low.
Amazon told most small labels that in exchange for one-year licensing agreements they would be offered shares of a $5 million royalty pool, to be divided by a market-share formula of Amazon’s choosing, said two people who were involved in the negotiations. Bigger labels and distributors were offered larger one-time payments for a year of access to certain titles. Amazon initially offered a total of about $25 million in these fees, but it was unclear whether the figure changed in negotiations.
Sony and Warner Music, two of the three major labels, have signed such deals. But Universal, whose catalog includes stars like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Kanye West, did not reach an agreement with Amazon.
After Amazon’s proposed contracts for songwriting rights were rejected by many music publishers, the company used an outside firm to obtain “compulsory” licenses through federal copyright provisions. That process is common, but implies that Amazon may make more limited use of songs than it had originally contemplated.
With a relatively small catalog, Amazon’s service is not seen as a major threat to companies like Spotify, Rhapsody and Beats, which offer millions of songs. But Amazon’s sheer size gives it a big advantage. The company recently announced that it had 244 million active customer accounts, and it is estimated to have more than 20 million Prime subscribers.
Amazon’s scale may help it reach the millions of casual music consumers who have remained hesitant to sign up for any streaming service. Those consumers are a big concern for the music industry as the streaming market matures and gradually replaces CDs and downloads as the way most people listen to music.

The "Amazones de la Confrérie des Gardians" perform a carousel in the Roman Arena of Arles, France. This is to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mireille, the famous poem of Frederic Mistral.
Frédéric Mistral (September 8, 1830?March 25, 1914) was a French poet who led the 19th century revival of Occitan (Provençal) language and literature. He was a key figure in the literary félibrige movement. He shared the Nobel Prize in literature in 1904 for his contributions in literature and philology.

Mireille is also an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Michel Carré after Frédéric Mistral's poem Mireio. Gounod was charmed by the originality of the work, the story being much less contrived than many of those on the operatic stage at the time. During the course of composition Gounod spent much time in Provence (12 March to the end of May 1863), visiting the sites of the action in the poem/opera, and met Mistral on several occasions at his home in Maillane. Gounod stayed at the Hôtel de la Ville Vert in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and was treated to a banquet by the townspeople on May 26. Presenting class differences in a rural setting was not usual at the time, and as Huebner comments "some early reviewers had difficulty accepting that a 'mere' country girl could sing a heroic aria such as "En marche". It has been argued that "what matters in this extended lyric poem is not the story but the rich tapestry or Provençal traditions, beliefs and customs"

'tis the season for friends and family ( and occasionally very generous "internet friends" ) to begin asking us what odin would like for christmas and this year, rather than tell everyone the same improvised, ad-hoc list of the same things we thought we'd be a bit more organized and put together odin's 2005 christmas wishlist on amazon.
obviously, anyone can feel free to get something not on the list, but we thought it might be a nice way for odin's friends and family who are scattered all over the world to make more informed purchasing decision. but that only works if everyone cooperates and actually buys the items from amazon, so please try to refrain from buying items on the list from a local merchant because then nobody else will know he's received a gift from his wishlist :-)
nobody should feel obligated to buy odin any gifts. but if the past few weeks are any indication it seems that there are more than one or two people who are interested and this list is for them.
of course, anyone can still feel free to send him a postcard or any other gift not on the Official List using the current address found on the postcards from budapest post.
Despite spending thousands of dollars on Amazon US, I am unable to leave a review for an item on Amazon Australia as I have to spend $50 for that privilege...
Nice going Amazon! NOT.
Amazon Australia is a MASSIVE failure.
