Tradução Instantânea das Conversas do MSN (Windows Live Messenger) com o MSTBOT

Traduzindo textos nas conversas via Messenger com o Tbot.

O Tbot é um robô automatizado para traduzir sua conversas  online no Windows Live Messenger, isto é, ele funciona como um interprete para quem não domina uma ou varias línguas estrangeiras. Caso necessite comunicar –se com pessoas que também não dominam uma língua em comum, o Tbot é uma boa saída. Atualmente, ou melhor, hoje o Tbot possui uma lista de 35 idiomas para serem mesclados entre si, isto é, funcionam como pares de tradutores. Bom, não vou ser redundante e reescrever (ou copiar) o texto da pagina da Microsoft, então quem deseja fazer um teste pode passar no site do Tbot da Microsoft e ver como funciona. Só digo que não há necessidade de nenhuma ferramenta ou plug-in adicional ao Windows Live. Executei uns testes em inglês, e verifiquei que a tradução não é tudo aquilo, mas dá pra se virar e entender-se com seu colega. Como é uma ferramenta que acabou de sair do forno, pois foi lançado em 2008 como protótipo, até o momento não consigo perceber se há muitos usuários utilizando, o que consigo afirmar é que tem muita gente enviando-me e-mail e perguntando se há um tradutor automático para Windows Live Messenger. Por tanto fica a dica  para usarem, pois se não houver utilização pode ser capaz da Microsoft abortar o projeto. Alias, quem conhecer outras ferramentas com a mesma função no MSN peço a gentileza de postar a dica aqui também. Obrigado !

Investing in technology is also investing in People

 

There are times we have noticed the great effort to have more powerful hardware and software that is more capable hardware allow us to use more complex software on the other hand, more complex software require more powerful hardware. Today we have a balance that effect, but one of the links broke: the peopleware (the part relating to people). To understand, we say that due to the advancement of technology today we live in a smaller world. At least in the 70 people individually owned and approximately 75% of knowledge, today we have this knowledge in the collective due to the spread of technology access and communications, particularly for investments in the distribution of Internet connection that is increasingly on -to-day and residential schools (In the '80s and early '90s access was restricted almost solely to the businesses because the cost and availability.
The companies were the first to wake up to the collective knowledge and called for its use and aggregation in improving products and especially services. These companies are called "learning organizations" because, according to David Garvin, in his book "Building a Learning Organization - Harvard Business Review," is that it possesses the ability to create and transfer knowledge as well as being able to modify their behavior to reflect new knowledge and ideas. I remember that once weekly meeting, the then Manager of Infrastructure and Technology - Horst Hunger said, - "... the knowledge of the expertise and experience of each engineer and analyst in the department as a collective knowledge of great quality and great success for the company and hence for all of us ... "well, maybe not" exactly "those words, but surely this was the idea that he wished to go (we can also call it synergy or so of cognitive value added).

However, in today's world everyone wants to get rid of old patterns and old theories and thus offer the best products and services (now called solutions). This unbridled race means that we have to rethink our values and habits so quickly that often abandoned them for no reason. Because of this, what we have today many companies are changing for nothing, ie do not add value, and still end up losing those years to achieve that cost. We can say that the learning process was not mature enough to assess itself. The field of knowledge and use of technology are not only super computers to employees connected to the Internet at a speed excessive, we must remember that investments in technology will only cause damage (s) to individuals and companies are not integrated and adapted to it, or even not have a concept or definition of what it will do with it (objectivity).
Otherwise also does not help train and not giving the right tools for each employee. I do not agree that companies cut access to sites and applications that simply "judge not productive," I agree with clear policies and widespread, training, studies and teachings, as well as projects for directions from unproductive to productive leisure hours. It is humanly impossible for one person to produce the desired quality eight hours a day. An example are companies that only allow Internet access to the group of directors, believing that employees will not work if it gets access to them - But who can we blame? From the company that does not train and does not trust the official or employee who is unable to manage your time between activities? Companies do not invest in costly training ground (it really is expensive to train), on the other side since the rural exodus to the industrial revolution in which the man left the field and formed schools of learning, is that man is studying for adapt to the changes imposed by new standards and concepts, whether commercial or not.

We must have me mind that technology only makes sense if the service of people, said Fabio Gandour - Manager of New Technologies and complements IBM, "The Internet is today the Via Appia," (a major road was created more than 300 years before the Christian era, linking Rome to southern Italy). "She used to move goods, services and information. It remains to us to enjoy the best possible way that this structure represents," Gandour said. Encouraged to set the Internet, the IBM scientist did not hesitate: "It is and will increasingly be a skin covering everything in the world." That is why investing in people also ends up being: invest in technology and investing in technology is also investing in people.

New Challenges Professionals!

Learn how to direct your IT Challenge

Many people always ask for references on computer courses. The first time is always more difficult to specify a statement, especially when I do not know what the purpose or the limitations of people - usually a professional.  The indication of a stroke is effective when we have a clear goal. For people who have no knowledge in the area is interesting to begin with basic course, which consists of general knowledge of computer and operating system, internet, word processors, presentation software, spreadsheet and database.  However there are three levels according to degree of difficulty: introductory, intermediate, and advanced. In the introductory part, basically it would get to know the working environment such as on and off the computer and identify the components, using the Internet browser and, besides knowing about the production of components for text, presentations, calculations and data. All this in order to familiarize the student with an environmental terms, tools and functions very different from day-to-day who does not work with computers. . As the student masters each item and to deepen more in the matter also causes increases the difficulty and therefore knowledge.  Over time the specific needs and the students themselves often appear able to identify and harness their knowledge to a more specific study. For those in need of an upgrade that brings professional knowledge and the new professional challenges interesting is a professional certification.  Certification is something common among IT professionals, and is widely used in selection processes for choosing professionals.  A certified person is qualified to work with too much software or hardware and / or product / service. Professional certification is the fastest way to get a professional to more competitive labor market, and recycle themselves, and give conditions to obtain better wages. The most common certifications, and one of the most sought are those of Microsoft (www.microsoft.com.br), the GNU / Linux (www.lpi.org) and Cisco (www.cisco.com), among others . The transmitter and maintainer of certifications from Microsoft and Cisco is the company itself, and the issuing of the certification of GNU / Linux is "Linux Professional Institute - LPI, it is interesting that the LPI is distribution neutral and evidence is based on the LSB - Linux Standard Base, ie, a set of rules that maintains compatibility between different versions and operating system distributions. But the commercial distributions of Linux Red Hat (www.redhat.com), popularized their certifications. Something to alert it that when we seek new challenges just forgetting to list the real needs, and finally ended up creating new problems.  Thus, when directing his new challenge will be very important to be aware of the reality of what you like and feels pleasure in doing. Remember that to become a certified practitioner takes a lot of dedication and time.  The professional certificate is highly ordered and should always be prepared and updated to work in diverse environments.
