What Google Trends Has to Say About Censorship
30 May, 2013
While studying about censorship [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship] and the term interest trends world wide, I decided to check on Google Trends [http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=censorship&cmpt=q] and see how interest have been on the subject. The results are astonishing and reflects the actual opposite of what I thought they would look like. Tons of interesting conclusions could be drawn from Google trends [http://www.google.com/trends/]'s charts. Let's take a peak: The dates on t

The Google Story: Inside the Hottest Business, Media, and Technology Success of Our Time (Book review)
25 March, 2008
A few weeks ago I have read the book "The Google Story: Inside the Hottest Business, Media, and Technology Success of Our Time" (Portuguese version) and later I decided to share my thoughts about that reading experience. The first bit about this book is that it has an easy language, and thus the book fits non-high tech readers. The second bit is that although it is a more interesting book for those of us interested on Google and high tech, it might be a good reading for those interested on gett

Google's Summer of Code Podcast and Umit@Nmap
25 July, 2007

Anyway, hope you have good time with it! ;-) There is another post at Goo

Game Theory and Summer of Code
16 July, 2007
During my last year at University, I spent about the whole year studying economics game theory, in order to make my thesis about friend-to-friend networks and best practices for overlay and sharing networks. Game theory is a very interesting topic, and can lead us to choose better strategies based on the problem environment, rules and possible odds (or rewards) you can get from each possible strategy. Unfortunately, some games doesn't have good odds for every player in the game, and when we ca

The Awaited Result
12 April, 2007
Finally I could release the list of selected students for this Summer of Code. Unfortunately, I couldn't select everyone I wanted, and I had to let go many talented students. I hope that the selected students have conscience of this matter, and work hard to show the world that they really deserved that slot in the Summer of Code, returning really good and useful stuff to the community. I really believe they're going to rock this Summer, and that's why I chose them. BTW, the list of accepted st
