Is it cold in Brazil at this time of year? Where are places to go to enjoy the winter atmosphere?
Its summer in the southern hemisphere right now. Winter is from June to September. Although São Paulo and Minas Gerais have some relatively cold winters, (Campos do Jordão come to mind!), your best bet for cold weather during winter time are the southern states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná.

Thanks, T Ghost!

Also if "winter atmosphere" means snow and stuffs like that, not even in the coldest winter =P

And depends on where do you live, even the winter atmosphere of some places would probably fit more an autumn atmosphere

It always snows in some places of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Can't remember the name of this city that is always in the news for its weather now... Is it São Bento?

The coldest capital though is Curitiba, even if it only had snow once in its history.

I'm glad it doesn't snow a lot here. Snow is terrible man, I fear for the day I may have to drive in it. Driving in rain already freaks me the fuck out, snow will make me have a heart attack.

I like snow. :( I wish it snowed more tbh.

And lol I used to panic while driving in the rain too, but now my car has a rain/snow button for the tires so all is well. :p

Pessoal, alguém aqui entende bem de Android? Quero mudar de celular no futuro e talvez vá para ele. Sei que tem o tópico oficial aqui, mas tem muita coisa diferente no Brasil que, se puder, queria tirar algumas dúvidas mais específicas! Manda uma PM pra não atrapalhar o tópico!

Bom, eu tenho um Motorola Xoom 2 com o Android 4.0, mas é bem recente, então ainda não sou conecedor profundo da plataforma. Mas sei lá, talvez eu possa ajudar... o_O

Eu evitaria qualquer Android que não seja 4.0+. A desvantagem é que esses, mais novos, custam R$1000+. Os maioria dos 2.2/2.3 tem hardware ultrapassado (software também, mas numa medida menor) e variam de lentos pra lentos pra c##%@.

Como está realmente a situação económica do Brasil?
Desde há uns anos que o país estava com um bom crescimento mas li recentemente que abrandou bastante, para cerca de 1%?
Vocês notam mudanças significativas?

Razoável. Ainda temos uma expansão do crédito bastante clara (mesmo que ao longo prazo não tem como saber), e a mudança sócio-econômica é evidente. Os índices de pobreza foram reduzidos drasticamente e isso é visível. Diversas empresas começaram a investir pesadamente no Brasil como um mercado sério (de fato o governo, mesmo incrivelmente burocratizado, consegue manter razoavelmente a segurança jurídica do empresariado, assim como o sistema financeiro que é tão fortemente regulado que nunca seria possível um meltdown como o dos EUA) e o poder de compra é bem mais alto do que 10 anos atrás.


É claro que não é a locomotiva esperada, mas em tempos de crise global, um país dependente de investimentos externos não vai crescer de maneira tão espantosa...

Apesar de ser de Portugal, acho que deviam incluir Tom Jobim, João Gilberto e Astrud Gilberto nas dicas musicais. :)

I think they deserve better than to be on a list with Dani Carlos and Maria Gadu.

We are in NeoGaf !
lol.

When the thread went up I did that post with some less known artists precisely because I thought it was certainly going to include the more famous ones, so I didn't feel the need to list those that everyone knows like Tom Jobim (which works I love), Roberto Carlos and so on. Sadly, aside from Platy, people just whined about it instead of making posts with content to be included in the OP.

edit: ok, it's fixed now.

In any case, I do agree that without the other better examples that list wasn't an appropriate selection for gaffers who checked the thread, and I'd rather it be gone than ridiculed. :p

Here is something for Brazil Gaf to laugh !

A friend found some old crazy magazine talking about the first info on "the gamecube zelda"

Full article :


Should be noted that "Death of Zelda : Tower of Spirits" is a pretty close description of Spirit Tracks plot ... buuuuuuuuuuut it then goes into HEAVY fanfic territory with Hell, Heaven, Sword of Souls and at leats 3 types of Ocarinas (Shadow's , Golden's and God's) and other crazy stuff like a combo sisem and link being able to crouch

Yearly cost of a politican on the senade

And Jackie Chan said the problem was USA =P

Senate*, but yes I agree. He probably didn't mention Brazil since that's like automatically number 1 he was giving other countries a chance.
