Policía hace redada en casa de un delincuente y se ponen a jugar con su Wii 9 horas

Policía hace redada en casa de un delincuente y se ponen a jugar con su Wii 9 horas: "

Vale que la Wii puede ser muy adictiva, pero a estos policías se les fue de las manos. Resulta que varios agentes antidroga del condado de Polk irrumpieron en la casa de un peligroso narcotraficante para realizar un registro, hasta aquí todo normal.
Pues bien, mientras varios policías se dedicaban a su tarea (buscas armas, drogas, documentos y demás) algunos miembros del equipo descubrieron algo que les interesó mucho más que andar revolviendo la casa en busca de pruebas: una Wii. Como era de esperar se pusieron a jugar, concretamente a un juego de bolos.
Lo más cachondo del caso es que no jugaron una inocente partidilla a la Wii, lo que podría ser comprensible, si no que estuvieron dándole a los bolos unas nueve horas. Para rematar dentro de la vivienda había una cámara de seguridad que grabó toda la sesión. El caso lógicamente no ha hecho mucha gracia que digamos y se ha abierto investigación administrativa para depurar responsabilidades.
Eso sí, jugar juegan bastante bien y seguramente estemos ante lo que será otro vídeo de éxito dentro de YouTube.

NASA Releases Hubble’s First Photo After Repair

NASA Releases Hubble’s First Photo After Repair: "

This is the first image NASA has released from the Hubble Space Telescope since it became fully functional after being repaired by space shuttle astronauts in May.

Hubble’s newly repaired camera captured this image on June 13 and July 8 of a spiral galaxy in the Big Dipper constellation 6 million light years away.

One photo of the impact on Jupiter was released in July during testing and recalibration, but this is the first since the camera was fully operational.

Stay tuned to Wired Science for more Hubble images later this morning.

How to Be Lucky

How to Be Lucky: "

Let me give you what might seem a strange piece of advice – be lucky. Sometimes you have good luck and sometimes you have bad luck. But do you have a choice? Can you make your own luck? Dr. Richard Wiseman has studied why some people are lucky and others are not. He advises that there are four main traits that lucky people have that help them to be ‘lucky’.

1. They create, notice, and act upon chance opportunities that come up.


2. They make good decisions using their intuition as well as their logic.


3. They have positive expectations about the future.


4. They don’t let bad luck get them down; they find a way to turn it into good fortune.

There are more details in his book, The Luck Factor.

By changing your attitudes, behaviours and actions you can change your luck. If you see obstacles as opportunities rather than difficulties then you can turn them to your advantage. If you notice unusual things and think laterally you can see novel openings. This is particularly true in the contexts of creativity and innovation.

• Sir Alexander Fleming noticed that a growth of mold in a petri dish resisted bacteria. He investigated this and discovered penicillin.


• Clarence Birdseye noticed that people in Canada kept fish fresh by packing them in ice. He developed this idea and created frozen food industry.


• Percy Spencer noticed that a chocolate bar in his pocket melted when he stood in front of a magnetron. He used this insight to help develop the microwave oven.


• Hiram Maxim found two problems when he went shooting. There was a powerful recoil after each shot which hurt his shoulder and he then had to go to the trouble of reloading. He wondered whether he could use one problem to solve the other. He invented the Maxim machine gun which used the energy from the recoil force to eject each spent cartridge and insert the next one.

Each of these people was doubtless called lucky by some contemporaries. But their ‘luck’ was the product of observation, insight and action.

Many people blame bad luck for their failures – especially on ventures where they invested considerable time and effort. People with positive outlooks recognise that each obstacle is a step along the way and that there is much that can be learned from setbacks. They learn lessons from reverses and they seek out fresh opportunities. They are always optimistic and receptive to ideas. They see opportunities in situations where others give up. They make their own good luck.

When the great golfer, Gary Player, was asked why he was so lucky he replied, ‘The harder I work, the luckier I get.’ So the lessons are clear. There is a way to be lucky. It involves a positive attitude, hard work, observation, preparedness, action and a willingness to see every setback as a learning opportunity and a step towards success.
