Como el sonido lejano de la alarma de un auto, el dato se repite tantas veces que ya se volvió invisible. Olvidamos que está ahí: cada día se extinguen unas 150 especies de animales en el mundo. Según la Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, el 41% de los anfibios, un 33% de los corales, un 25% de los mamíferos y un 13% de las aves están en rumbo directo a decirle adiós, y para siempre, a la Tierra. El orangután de Sumatra, el leopardo de las nieves y la tortuga baula se encuentran a punto de transformarse en simples figuritas del álbum de los recuerdos de la naturaleza. Y no sería nada extraño si, dentro de un par de décadas, el gorila de montaña, el atún rojo y el rinoceronte de Java fueran confundidos con el hipogrifo, el Odradek y demás ejemplares de El libro de los seres imaginarios borgiano.
El golpe –ecológico, ético, biológico–, claro, es fuerte. Pero eso no implica que sea el único. Las especies de animales no son las únicas que se extinguen. Se extinguen, también, las lenguas: de los 6.809 idiomas que se supone hay en el planeta, desaparece uno cada 15 días, sin contar con que en la Argentina ya se esfumaron el atacameño, el ona, el gününa küne y el vilela. Y, por si fuera poco, se extinguen también los símbolos. Y entre ellos, aunque parezcan eternos e intocables, aquellos de un gremio especial: los signos de puntuación, aquellos semáforos de la lengua que ayudan a que no nos tropecemos ni atragantemos con las palabras.
Algunos, incluso, desaparecen sin que muchos supieran siquiera que alguna vez estuvieron ahí, listos para ser usados. Por ejemplo, uno llamado “interrobang”. Indicador de sorpresa, algo así como “?!” –del “¿¡en serio!?”– pero fusionados en el mismo símbolo, fue inventado en los sesenta por el publicista neoyorquino Martin Spekter. Arañó la fama cuando se coló entre las teclas de las máquinas de escribir Remington en 1968 pero no tardó en hundirse en el olvido. Continuar leyendo «La extinción menos pensada | Revista Ñ»
Smart Spellchecker Corrects Grammar & Adds A Handy Thesaurus To Chrome
by Fatima Wahab
There are two things you can find in abundance on the internet; bad grammar and grammar Nazis. English dominates when it comes to the internet and there is little tolerance for bad spelling and incorrect usage of words. Spell check in your browser has probably saved you tons of embarrassment when it comes to emails and social media updates but it has its limitations and the dictionary that browsers use isn’t really updated frequently leaving out many words that evolve to become part of everyday language. Smart Spellchecker is a Chrome extension that is a feature rich spelling, grammar and punctuation checker for your browser. At the backend, it relies on the Grammarly web service which has several additional features that help you write better including a plagiarism checker. As a browser extension it provides you definitions, synonyms, and live spelling and grammar check for multiple services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, WordPress and Blogger.

Besides these basic improvements, Pixlr Express brings to the table several advanced features, including the denoise (noise reduction) effect, DSLR-like circular and linear focus blur, auto-fixation, red eye removal, whitening tool, and the best of all, a color splash (selective color) tool. Each effect or tool is further adjustable in multiple ways to help you with finding the perfect picture output you’re looking for.

Spotify Introduces Web Player For Streaming Music & Radio Online
by Fatima Wahab
Most online services start out with a web interface and work their way up to desktop and mobile apps. Spotify did the exact opposite; it started out with desktop and mobile apps and has just introduced a web player that is slowing being rolled out to different Spotify accounts. Regardless whether or not you have a paid subscription to the service or just a free one, you should be able use the web interface which lets you play music, listen to and create different radio stations, and manage playlists. The interface is stunning yet simple although it might be a little crowded if you use it on a smaller screen. The web player consists of four sections; a section bar at the far left that allows you to move to your playlists, the radio, or check out what’s new, the section to its left shows additional controls for the tab you’re in whereas the last two larger ones list your music and showcase the music player. The web player and the new web interface bear little resemblance to its desktop app.

Use Gestures To Call Or Text A Number From Anywhere In iPhone
by Hamza Khalid
Dial is a new Cydia tweak that offers a gesture-controlled shortcut to dialing numbers on your iPhone. If you are playing a game or watching a video, there is no need to quit it and go all the way to the Phone or Messages app to place a call. Simply perform the gesture used to invoke the App Switcher tray or Siri, and a compact dialer with a shortcut to messaging will pop up over the screen.
Users can choose whether they want to replace Siri or the App Switcher with the dialer, or use it in conjunction with the stock options. Another option on offer is to replace the entire Spotlight search area with the dialer.
