According to this article Mexican inmigration to the US has decreased because lack of jobs in the US. Not really a surprise. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/15/us/15immig.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

Costo de internet en Mexico

Lo transcribo como me llego:

Servicio de acceso a internet de Cablevision Systems Corp (Nueva York) –fuente: Reuters-:

 45 a 50 USD por mes è 650 Pesos aprox. (USD=13 Pesos) è Velocidad: 15 Mb/segundo = 43 Pesos por Mb

  

Servicio de acceso a internet de Telmex (Ciudad de Mexico) –fuente: Recibo Telefonico-:

 346.96 + IVA = 399 Pesos aprox. è Velocidad: 1 Mb/segundo (no garantizada, garantizan 0.5 Mb/segundo) = 399 Pesos por Mb

 

 El ingeniero Slim cobra 9.27 veces por Mb (MAS DE NUEVE VECES!!)  lo que cobran en Nueva York por el servicio.

 Otra razón que explica por que es el hombre mas rico del mundo…

Influenza coverage

A good article from the NYT with an status update on the influenza situation. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/02/health/02flu.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&th&emc=th

It seems the situation is improving in Mexico as the epidemic is not so serious as it looked like at the beggining of the week.
