A rare look behind the scenes at the Maranello factory in Italy for the production of their latest supercar, the 599 GTB Fiorano.
If you’ve always wanted a Ferrari factory tour and/or see how the 599 (above) was manufactured, then check out the long (45-minute) clip.
After watching this, you might even come to the conclusion that the 599 is one of the best value for money cars on the market today. Pity most of us will still never be able to afford one…
—————————————————————–
Si siempre quisiste hacer un tour y saber como es hecho el Ferrari 599 Fiorano, entonces mira este video de 45 minutos. Despues de verlo sabrás que el 599 es uno de los mejores carros costo/beneficio. Es una lástima que la mayoria de nosotros nunca tendremos la oportunidad de comprar uno…

Este video simplesmente nos explica que a gente é simplesmente macacos…

| It was felix carvalho, a young man wise beyond his years, who once remarked, “we got everything”. Indeed, in this episode we truly have got it all: beautiful models, glamorous fashion shows, an exclusive polo match, and the biggest DJ in the world — all in perfect High Definition clarity.
In this final chapter of our three videos from Punta del Este, Uruguay we spend some time with dolores behind the red velvet rope outside a trendy beach nightclub. There, we learn something about our visit to Punta: some people have “got it”, and some people have “got everything!”. |
segment 1: polo
 |
|
| The first day of shooting for this episode presented a bit of a dilemma for the mariposaHD team. We were invited to film a polo match at the exclusive Punta del Este Polo Club, which is hidden in the woods near La Barra. Polo is big stuff in these parts of South America and we were looking forward to capturing a taste of “the sport of kings” in HD. However, down at the beach there was polo-themed fashion show featuring some of our favorite mariposa girls scheduled at nearly the same time. We decided to split up. mike and dominic took the Canon 20D and Sony FX1 up to the woods to film the polo match while jeff and tamir took the Canon 10D and Sony Z1U down to the beach to capture the fashion show. On this slightly overcast day in Uruguay, no one in Punta managed to see both the polo match and the fashion show. But now in HDTV, you do. Which would you rather see? |

segment 2: antonela
segment 3: mantra
 |
|
| We follow the action to Mantra, an exclusive resort/spa/casino tucked in the woods near La Barra, for a fashion show featuring Argentine supermodel Ingrid Grudke. In the casino lobby we meet up with more of our favorite mariposa girls and then the cameras start snapping as the girls show off their hot new looks. |

|
segment 4: tiësto
 |
|
| There is no DJ in the world bigger than tiësto. He won ‘No. 1 DJ in the World’ three consecutive times and performed at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics. But he’s not too big for a visit to Uruguay. After a long day of filming, the mariposaHD team puts in a late, late night to capture the locals getting down to the big sounds. |

Tener un ordenador conectado a Internet puede ser la principal causa de que nuestra productividad caiga en picado. Y es que Internet es demasiado entretenido. A mi me ha pasado muchas veces, y creo que ya es hora de hacer algo al respecto.
Con el tiempo uno sufre lo que se acaba llamando por infotoxicación o intoxicación por exceso de información y no es otra cosa que tener demasiados focos de distracción que hacen que sea imposible centrarse en una sola cosa. Algunos métodos que uso para minimizar lo máximo posible estos focos (y con cierta eficacia) son:
- Desactiva la descarga automática del email. El icono del correo en la bandeja con un bonito número es una llamada muy poderosa a leer el correo pendiente.
Esto también se aplica con el lector de feeds y cualquier programa similar, la idea es tener que darle a “descargar ahora” manualmente cuando a ti te interese.
De la misma forma, desactiva las notificaciones sonoras: a poco que te intentes concentrar se vuelven un incordio y te hacen pensar “tengo que revisar los correos/feeds pendientes”.
- La mensajería instantánea es un acoso continuo. El no estar conectado es deseable, pero si no es posible intenta configurarlo lo mejor posible:
- Desactiva las notificaciones sonoras: se aplica el tercer párrafo del primer punto exactamente igual.
- Notificaciones visuales sólo una vez. En esto Kopete por defecto es muy agradable y un ejemplo a seguir, cuando te hablan aparece un cuadro para contestar/ignorar pero cuando minimizas la conversación no vuelve a aparecer el recuadro cuando te dicen algo nuevo a no ser que sea otra persona.
- Ponte en estado ocupado: hay gente que “te molestará” igualmente (a veces ni te das cuenta del estado de la otra persona) pero algunas personas lo respetan y evitan hablarte por tonterias.
- Música: depende.
Por experiencia algunas personas “funcionan” mejor con un estilo de música que con otro, incluso sin música. El único inconveniente es al trabajar en grupo evitar elegir estilos que a unos les distraigan y a otros no.

| It was benito juarez, a Zapotec Amerindian and Mexico’s first and only Native American president, who famously said, “Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.”It is the morning after the night before. For anyone who has been to Cancun, Mexico (where Americans go to get drunk and rowdy) it may be ironic to see that it is Mexicans who get drunk and rowdy in Uruguay. The mariposaHD team is up yet again at the crack of dawn to document a day at the beach in Punta del Este. And what did we learn in our day at the beach? That how we choose to behave is more important than what we choose to drink or smoke. |
segment 1: bikini beach
segment 2: tammy
 |
|
|
| There are lots of hot girls on Bikini Beach but only one of them gets to be our new mariposa girl. tammy is a beautiful young model from Argentina who spends the summer working on the beach in Uruguay. She doesn’t smoke, is in great shape, has all her original body parts, has a fantastic smile, and, most importantly, she has the right attitude. It’s not easy to look perfect in front of an HD camera. tammy does and she’s our newest mariposa girl. |

Since starting as a DJ back in 1987, Bussola has played in every major club and festival around Argentina. tamir catches up with Sñr. Bussola in his car before going on to play an outdoor set at an electronic music festival near Punta and we find out how he gets warmed up before a big show. |

Although simple in concept, the complexity of the internal combustion engine is mind-boggling. Most of the time we take it for granted when we turn the ignition key, shift into gear and step on the gas, but a marvel of mechanics, managing thousands of little explosions each minute, keeps us traveling smoothly down the highways and byways and streets where we live.
This video gives us an animated look at a virtual engine, from bare block to ignition. The inline-four engine is made by Deutz, an independent German machine manufacturer. See every component: casted this, braided that, spinning this, machined that. The animated video shows the engine assembling itself, then gives you an inside look at the combustion compartment, injecting fuel, igniting it and expelling the exhaust fumes.
As you marvel at the complexity of it all, remember that this is a relatively simple four-cylinder engine. Imagine throwing in a few more cylinders, a turbocharger or two, variable valve timing… you get the idea.
