This impressive bank robbery happened in the eastern part in the city of São Paulo, Brazil:
For those asking: Each one of those ATMs had about R$100,000 (about 50,000USDs) in it.
About 25 criminals were involved in the robbery.
They took about 15 minutes in the bank.
The masked guys are probably the bosses… the other criminals probably got a small part for helping out.
3 of those robbers where arrested, and tons of stuff including weapons, and plans to another bank robbery, this time in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, PR (where I was born) was being planned.
Though still kinda rare, bank robbing cases in Brazil are becoming more and more frequent nowadays… we had a major one involving an underground tunnel to the safe some years ago.
So there you go.

A video that is mainly alarmist, but do have some interesting stuff to reflect about:
I know the woman constructs, makes up and oversimplifies tons of complicated issues that are not as black and white as she so eagerly seems to make believe, but still there are some valid points about the way we are dealing with things today, and on how it’s worth trying to change the current scheme of things.

The Swine Flu, along with how flu virus works, is a little bit more complex than it sounds.
So, nothing better than ye good ol’ YouTube video animation to explain how it works:
Beautiful, yet scary and deadly. All thanks to HybridMedical!

Check this interesting video on a project that creates beggar robots with old computer parts:
Not only the product is interesting, but also how it works on society.
I find it specially interesting when the police takes the human beggar away, but not only lets the robotic version stay but even show some curiosity about it. 
Lots of interesting questions to be thought about on the subject…

Everyone must’ve watched this video by now, with former Dominos’ employees doing disgusting stuff on food that’s going to be delivered:
But I wanna get out of the mainstream opinnion, and raise some questions on the whole deal.
It’s pretty obvious how the video was associated with Dominos (see the caps and shirts). And while I personally don’t like Dominos stuff much, one has to wonder if this wasn’t something plotted by some Dominos competitor.
I know people are certainly capable of stupidities like those, but I also know that competitors may go to great lenghts to put the competition down, even more in times of crisis.
So let’s say another fast food chain promised a better paying job, or a big reward for doing a video like that.
Of course, it’s just speculation at this time, but not too far fetched isn’t it?
The problem as I see isn’t this particular case, but how the reaction it caused may in fact provoke such practices.
So, all things considered, I’m really hoping depite all, that this video is real and the employees were fired… because if it isn’t, this might be part of a way bigger problem we’ll be facing from now on.

BMW Munich gives us a visual lesson on why unemployment rates are so high these days… 
I imagine we’ll have to rethink ways of earning money in a future where production lines are all completely occupied by robots. I hope by then all countries will have adjusted their education systems so everyone can get a job on their areas of expertise… read “utopia”.
