The products that are adding an extra dimension to our lives.

Beyond Pandora

Avatar director James Cameron threw down the 3-D gauntlet in May, predicting that the format would replace today's two-dimensional standard within 25 years. Manufacturers have gotten the memo and are cranking out 3-D versions of tech toys. At the E3 trade show in June, Nintendo rolled out a 3-D version of its handheld gaming console, the DS. (It will probably hit U.S. store shelves next spring.) What's notable about the "3DS" is that players can play in 3-D without wearing special glasses, thanks to a sci-fi-sounding technology called "parallax barrier."

La palabra Islam significa "sumisión ante la voluntad de Dios". El Islamismo es la segunda religión más grande del mundo con aproximadamente 1 billón de seguidores. Su principal profeta es Mahoma, pero también reconocen la importancia de Abraham, Moisés y Jesús.

The Prophet Muhammad

Muslims believe that Islam is a faith that has always existed and that it was gradually revealed to humanity by a number of prophets, but the final and complete revelation of the faith was made through the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century CE.

Muhammad was born in Mecca in Saudi Arabia in 570.

Twitter significa en español gorjear, parlotear, trinar. Es una red social de información impulsada por gente alrededor del mundo que le permite compartir y descubrir qué está pasando en el momento. Twitter se pregunta "qué está pasando" y hace que la respuesta se esparza por todo el planeta a millones de personas inmediatamente.
Usa términos como follow (seguir), followers (seguidores) y following (siguiendo).

When it comes to Twitter, I prefer to be a consumer, not a producer. In other words, I know no one cares what I had for breakfast, so I don't bother to tweet about it.
However, I do care what famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) has to say, because it's usually interesting and educational. So he's among the select few Twitter users I follow.

Las metrópolis son relativamente nuevas en nuestro planeta, mientras que los terremotos ocurren hace millones de años. Ambas son una combinación letal, como pudo observarse en la reciente tragedia de Haití, donde murieron más de 200 mil personas. Una catástrofe que, según los científicos, puede repetirse en otro lugar, muy pronto y con cifras mortales.

Megacities are something new on the planet. Earthquakes are something very old. The two are a lethal combination, as seen in the recent tragedy in Port-au-Prince, where more than 200,000 people perished -- a catastrophe that scientists say is certain to be repeated somewhere and probably soon, with death tolls that once again stagger the mind.
