I’ve seen on Entre tuxes y pepinos a curious lettuce with the Ubuntu Logo! The company is called El corral de los niños (The children’s farmyard) and it has been seen in Badajoz. And from what I have read, I would like to advise that it can contain bugs

One use of the lower-case Greek letter λ is a branch of mathematical logic called Lambda Calculus. It’s a formal system designed to research function definition, function application and recursion. Throughout the years, λ has been seen on many logos related with the functional programming. For example, the MIT Scheme’s logo represents a recursive shield with lambda:

We can see lambda on the functional programming language Haskell’s logo. Apart from lambda, we can see five other mathematical symbols, representing the Haskell’s functionality. These are their respective meanings:

-The right arrow (→): Transformation
-The universal quantification (∀): For all
-The double angle (≫): Free from disorder
-The double right arrow (⇒): Generality
-The double colon (::): Exactitude

A scheme-to-C compiler called Chicken has a logo that represents a lambda inside a hen silhouette.

CL-HTTP (Common Lisp Hypermedia Server) has a lambda symbol on its logo too.

One reason I lost interest in Facebook was having hundreds of Facebook application invitations on my board. Although I must admit that at first I received invitations for interesting applications, but now it just pisses me off. Eventually my homepage was being flooded of useless, boring and repeated applications. I sincerely prefered Facebook when these types of applications were not present. Even though it was a great idea, but now Facebook probably has an interface problem that they don’t know how to solve. Today surfing the web, I have found a solution - a simple ignore all bookmark for Facebook.

Really it’s just a simple Javascript code, and when running it, it selects the ignore options on every request, apart from friend requests, group invites and event notifications. You can access this at http://www.ignoreall.com/.

For the first time since 1885, Britan is richer than the USA (by per capita gross domestic product). Dividing the GDP of the UK we obtains $46,088 this year, compared with $45,598 in the USA. We are to thank the pound’s strength against the dollar for about 75% of Britain’s advances.

I can’t believe it. A 28-year-old french guy called Arash Derambarsh has been elected for President of Facebook by a non-official third party application. The story started when Derambarsh ran the application and started to invite his friends creating an official program for his campaign. When the elections were finished, Derambarsh received more than 9,000 votes and it converted him in the “first president of Facebook”. At the beginning, using this information Derambarsh got coverage with some French media. But the story raised up when it was covered by big TV channels and traditionnal media like TF1, Le Point, L’express, …
Derambarsh has become a star in France, being invited to talk about his presidency in some programs and gettings his own page in Wikipedia. We can check out his electoral program in FacebookPresident. He pledges to promote goodwill and tolerance among the three world monotheistic Faiths (Christian, Jewish and Muslim), to fight against illiteracy and analphabetism and to promote the French culture around the world.
