Sinopsis. Un documental que con el sobrecogedor telón de fondo del Himalaya, narra la fascinante aventura de seis adolescentes tibetanos que se propusieron escalar el Lhakpa Ri de 7.045 metros de altura, situado en la cara norte del Monte Everest. Este peligroso viaje se convierte en un desafío aparentemente imposible. Más aún si tenemos en cuenta que estos jóvenes son ciegos. Considerados por muchos tibetanos como poseídos por demonios, los chicos son rechazados por sus padres, despreciados por sus aldeas y marginados por la sociedad. Pero la educadora y aventurera ciega Sabriye Tenberken, fundadora de la primera y única escuela para invidentes del Tíbet, junto con el famoso escalador también ciego Erik Weihenmayer, ayudará a estos jóvenes a superar sus enormes dificultades y les animará a llegar mucho más allá de lo que jamás hubieran imaginado.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
