Phone booths in Brazil are popularly called orelhão ("big ear") because of its format.
But, recently people are getting creative and using personalized phone booths around Brazil. All those pictures were found in the internet and I've tried to keep the copyrights.

Do you know Orkut?
No, not that social
network, but its creator: Orkut Buyukkokten, 32 years old.
He created
the most popular social network in Brazil, and during his visit to
the South American country, Orkut realized he is a celebrity there.
People recognized him at streets.
But, the fact is that
Orkut brings more problems than solutions to Google. The social
network, not its creator.
“Social Networks are
a reflection of the society” says Orkut. “And you can find good
and bad people in society”.
Orkut has
49,2 million users, 27,5 million in Brazil. And also several
problems: Between January and April 2006, SaferNet Brasil
(non-governmental organization) received 9.982 denunciations of child
pornography in the Internet, 9.100 against Orkut.
But now,
Google are developing tools to increase users privacy and improve its
communication with Brazilian authorities about crime cases.
Now, Orkut's next step
is find a way to monetize his creation and improve its mechanisms,
after all, if social networks are a reflection of the society, it
need clear rules like all democratic societies.

Estou
impressionada com a capacidade criativa dos criminosos por aí. Já não
basta o próprio crime contra o menino João Hélio ter sido algo terrível, agora
estão usando o caso para roubar você.
É, roubar seus dados,
senhas, instalar programas maliciosos em sua máquina.
Acabei
de receber este e-mail, por sinal, muito bem feito, que diz conter um video da
reconstituiçao da cena do crime. O email, na realidade é um Phishing Scam, um tipo de
fraude eletrônica projetada para roubar informações valiosas particularesonde
voce recebe uma mensagem eletrônica, geralmente um e-mail, recado no site Orkut
("scrap"), entre outros exemplos, utilizando de pretextos falsos, que
tenta enganar o receptor da mensagem e induzi-lo a fornecer informações
sensíveis (números de cartões de crédito, senhas, dados de contas bancárias,
entre outras) ou baixar e executar e arquivos que permitam o roubo futuro de
informações ou o acesso não autorizado ao sistema da vítima.
O
que mais me impressionou neste caso foi a qualidade do Scam, que voces podem
conferir a seguir, que pode enganar muita gente. O arquivo que suspostamente é
o video, na realidade é um arquivo mal-intencionado, com extensão .src (Não
clique no arquivo).
Informem seus amigos, previna-os contra
mais esta fraude.

São Paulo (Portuguese for Saint Paul) is the capital of the state of São Paulo in southeastern Brazil.
The city has an area of 1,523.0 square kilometres (588.0 sq. miles) and a population of just over 11 million, which makes it the largest and most populous city in the and a global city. Some argue that Sao Paulo is the world's second largest metropolitan area. 16 million people live in the greater São Paulo metropolitan — making it second most populous city in the world.
São Paulo is one of the most important financial centres in Latin America. The city is considered to headquarter more German companies than any other single city outside Germany. São Paulo's GDP is around US$ 260 billion dollars in 2006.
Its financial districts are located on the surroundings of Avenida Paulista and in the Centro Velho (Old Centre). Other important business districts are located in the boroughs of Pinheiros and Santo Amaro, including the large artery Faria Lima.
There are a number of highly specialised regions, like Bom Retiro and Brás (wholesale garment districts), Consolação (lighting equipment), Rua Santa Ifigênia (electrical and electronic parts), Rua Teodoro Sampaio (furniture and musical equipment), the posh Rua Oscar Freire (designer and label stores), Avenida Europa (automobiles) and the crowded Rua Vinte Cinco de Março. São Paulo is also home to a large number of advertising and broadcasting companies.
Rua Oscar Freire is a tree lined street in the Jardins district of São Paulo, stretching from Alameda Casa Branca to Avenida Doutor Arnaldo. It was named after Oscar Freire de Carvalho, a physician and forensic medicine professor from Bahia, who helped developing the city's first morgue (Instituto Médico Legal). It's considered the posh street in Sao Paulo, like Los Angeles's Rodeo Drive of Brazil. The street in located in the Jardins area of the city. Some shops located on Rua Oscar Freire and it's surroundings are worldwide famous Louis Vuitton, Armani, Dior, Versace, Diesel, Cartier, Cavalli, Bulgari, Salvatore Ferragamo and the best of Brazilian fashion - Alexandre Herchcovitch, Forum, Ellus, NK Store, Sergio K, Osklen and many other designers. Rua Oscar Freire is also called the Brazil's "luxury square" and is one of Latin America's most prominent commercial streets. Recentelly, the street's stores funded a project to remove the obstructing electric poles and install an underground fiber-optic lines instead, in an attempt to make the street more appealing to the shoppers.
São Paulo has significant ethnic diversity in comparison to other major cities:
• 5,000,000 are direct or indirect descendants of Italians. There is a building named Edifício Itália (Italy Building), in honor of the Italians. It was once the tallest building of the city (165m). • 3,000,000 people are direct or indirect descendants of Portuguese. • 2,000,000 are direct or indirect descendants of Spaniards. • 1,500,000 people have direct or indirect African ancestry. • 1,000,000 people are direct or indirect descendants of Germans. • 850,000 people are direct or indirect descendants of Lebanese immigrants— by far the largest number of Lebanese outside Lebanon. • More than 1 million people are direct or indirect descendants of Japanese. São Paulo has the largest number of Japanese outside Japan. The Japanese community's historical centre is the Liberdade neighborhood. • São Paulo is home to the largest Jewish community in Brazil with about 130,000 people. • There is a considerable number of immigrants from other countries in Latin America, especially Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Chile. • Note that many paulistanos have mixed ethnic origins; the numbers above may count individuals belonging to multiple groups.
Other sizable groups are: • Koreans • Armenians • Lithuanian • Greeks • Syrians • Polish
As in the rest of Brazil, Portuguese is the dominant language of the vast majority of the population. However, many other languages, such as German, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, and Korean, are still spoken by first and second-generation members of their respective ethnic communities. Italian (its southern dialects in particular) was once widespread, and though most Italo-Brazilians in the city are no longer fluent in it, typical paulistano Portuguese retains a distinctive Italian cadence.
São Paulo hosts one of the most well known academic institutions in Brazil, the University of São Paulo (USP). A public university maintained by the State of São Paulo, USP is tuition-free to any student who is accepted. It boasts large research programs, as well as being one of the most highly regarded educational centers in the country. Located in the city is the main campus, as well as the medical and law school. Several smaller campuses are located throughout the state.
USP is considered as Brazil's top academic and research institute. In its 2005 edition, The Times Higher Education Supplement considered USP to be the 196th best university institution in the world. According to the 2005 Academic Ranking of World Universities, published by the Shanghai Jiaotong University, USP is placed in the group of the 101-152nd top world universities. The EGI (European Graduate Institute) reported that USP is the 58th best university in the world, according to the 2006's edition. According to the results of the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities (Top 200), USP is the best university of the set of countries named BRIC (est. population: 2.7 billion – 07/2006). I studied here, at Physics Institute, or at least, I tried.
As in the rest of Brazil, Soccer is by far the most important sport in the city. The major clubs in São Paulo are São Paulo, Palmeiras and Corinthians. They are all playing in the Brazilian Série A. The fourth most important club of the city is Portuguesa, currently playing in Brazilian Série B. Another popular club in São Paulo is Santos FC from the nearby coastal city of the same name, Santos. There are two other small clubs in the city, Juventus and Nacional.
The best football team ever, the first to win the FIFA World Club Championship, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista is a Brazilian sports club, based on São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil, is a traditional and popular Brazilian football club. As of 2004, Corinthians is estimated to have 24 million fans. Corinthians was founded in 1910 by a group of labourers - mainly of Portuguese, Italian and Spanish descent - hoping to create a popular club in the city of São Paulo to play against the elite clubs that already existed. They are named after the famous English amateur team Corinthians, now Corinthian-Casuals.

Furar o bloqueio do Youtube é fácil e plenamente
legal.
Devido a uma decisão judicial divulgada recentemente, alguns
provedores do Brasil já começaram a bloquear o
Youtube devido ao vídeo da Cicarelli.
Segundo manifestações do juiz do caso divulgadas pela imprensa,
entretanto, este bloqueio ao Youtube como um todo não está determinado
na sentença, que mandaria apenas bloquear o
acesso ao vídeo do casal.
Mas desde a madrugada de sábado, usuários de diversos
provedores
(temos relatos especialmente de usuários de ADSL do sul do Brasil)
perceberam que seu acesso ao site Youtube estava completamente
bloqueado, indo muito além da intenção e da própria letra da sentença,
segundo seu próprio juiz.
Se o YouTube estiver bloqueado no seu provedor, trata-se de
uma
medida puramente técnica, e a não ser que o seu contrato com o provedor
preveja esta situação, não há nada de ilegal em furar o bloqueio ao
Youtube, contornando-o - já que a sentença judicial não determina este
bloqueio ao site como um todo, mas sim ao vídeo. Mas nada de assistir
ao vídeo, pois este está mesmo proibido!
Selecionando um servidor proxy
O primeiro passo é obter o endereço e porta de um servidor
proxy
internacional, ou um que fique em um provedor onde não haja o bloqueio.
Se você não tiver acesso a nenhum deles, procure por open
proxy list no Google, há diversas listas que trazem
justamente estes dados.
Como exemplo, veja esta
lista,
que traz os servidores proxy no seguinte formato: endereço:porta.
Assim, o servidor 128.112.139.82:3128 deve ser entendido como sendo o
endereço 128.112.139.82 e a porta 3128.
Coloque a lista de servidores proxy nos bookmarks, porque
talvez
você tenha que testar vários servidroes até achar um com velocidade
suficiente.
Configurando seu navegador para acessar o Youtube sem
bloqueio
Quando você ativa o uso de um servidor proxy, todo o seu
tráfego web
passa a ser encaminhado a este servidor, que atua como um
intermediário. Portanto, não faça isso em um navegador onde
você acesse sites com senhas, bancos, etc. De preferência,
use para isto um navegador alternativo, e desative o uso da Proxy assim
que não for mais acessar o Youtube.
Os passos a seguir servem para as versões correntes dos
navegadores
Firefox e Opera. Usei o Opera em Inglês para que os usuários de
navegador em inglês possam saber os nomes dos campos - variam pouco de
navegador para navegador.
1 - Configurando o Firefox
Passo 1 - Acesse a tela de
preferências, clique em Avançado, Rede e Configurações, como na figura
acima.
Passo 2 - Selecione
"Configuração manual de proxy", preencha o
endereço do servidor no campo "HTTP", a porta no campo "Porta", e
certifique-se de desmarcar o campo "Usar este proxy para todos os
protocolos", como na figura acima.
Confirme clicando em Ok, e você já pode acessar o Youtube.
Teste assistindo a este
vídeo. Se ficar muito lento ou não funcionar, selecione outro
servidor proxy e repita a operação.
2 - Configurando o Opera
Passo 1 - Acesse a tela de
preferências, clique em Advanced, Network e Proxy Servers, como na
figura acima.
Passo 2 - Selecione a checkbox
ao lado do campo "HTTP", preencha o
endereço do servidor no campo "HTTP", e a porta no campo "Porta", como
na figura acima.
Confirme clicando em Ok, e você já pode acessar o Youtube.
Teste assistindo a este
vídeo. Se ficar muito lento ou não funcionar, selecione outro
servidor proxy e repita a operação.
Following up on about a court decision in Brazil to "shut down" YouTube over an unathorized celebrity sex video, Bruno Maestrini says:
Brasil Telecom, a popular ISP in Brazil has already banned user access
to youtube.com. As far as I know all other ISPs are still normal.
I, as a journalist, have tried to reach Brasil Telecom without any
success. The only way I got to talk to them was through customer
support, and they told me that the problem was with the company that
authenticates my login. That sounds stupid. I have interviewed people
from all around Brazil using BrT and none of them could access YouTube,
except with a foreign proxy.
Here's
a story about how ADSL users from BrT are now prevented from accessing
YouTube. BrasilTelecom is one of the major phone companies and
bandwidth providers, and they just blocked YouTube, without a single
word for the customers.
Involved in a series of prosecutions, the company can stop
its activities in Brazil
in case it is not possible to restrain excesses from Brazilian users or if they
not get an agreement with the Brazilian Justice.
52 orders had been opened to release user information from Orkut until
today. In its majority, they are cases of pedophilia, racism and hate. Between
January and April, SaferNet Brasil (non-governmental organization) received
9.982 denunciations of child pornography in the Internet, 9.100 against Orkut.
Google’s
resistance in supplying information comes from the fear of political use of the
information. As examples, they had cited China
and the Iran,
which already had requested this kind of information about people considered
against the government.
In case they don’t release this information, they will be charged at least U$100.000
daily, as indemnity for the successively refusing to hand over user information
associated with Orkut.
Three questions arise from it:
First: The way United States
faces the third world, as if we couldn't take care of our business on our own.
Second: Brazil
is far from being like China
and Iran, ie.
military dictatorships. Brazil
is a free country and it's only trying to protect itself from problems that the
whole world is facing, including US.
Third: Business is business, but in some countries there are limits. Protect customer's privacy is one thing, protect the worst scum of criminals is
completely different. Too bad the Google didn't figure out what
"freedom" is all about.
Ok, realmente não foi a seleçao brasileira que a gente esperava. Gana está jogando bem.
Mas, ter que ouvir do locutor inglês, que o Brasil está ganhando porque tem sorte é demais.
Sorte, pode ser na bola que o Dida defendeu com o pé.
Mas, a realidade é que o ataque do Brasil é efetivo. As poucas chances foram aproveitadas, mesmo que digam que o Adriano estava impedido.
Gana, por outro lado, não consegue transformar em gols seus ataques.
E lembrando: o Brasil é a primeira seleçao a marcar 200 gols em copas (o gol de Adriano), e Ronaldo, o gordo, bate o recorde do alemão e se torna o maior artilheiro de todas as copas... Aliás, foram três dele em quatro jogos nesta copa.
