Valve is entering the PC hardware business | Valve está entrando al negocio de hardware de PC

Posted on by

[EN]: If you’ve been playing PC games for many years, you should know that Valve is a software company that mainly offers a platform to distribute games. Valve also makes games. The 9-year anniversary of Steam is almost here (Sept. 12), but the company is not going to be a software-only one for long.’

On the job listing page of the company, the info about Industrial Designer position says: “Valve is traditionally a software company. Open platforms like the PC and Mac are important to us, as they enable us and our partners to have a robust and direct relationship with customers. We’re frustrated by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space though, so we’re jumping in. Even basic input, the keyboard and mouse, haven’t really changed in any meaningful way over the years. There’s a real void in the marketplace, and opportunities to create compelling user experiences are being overlooked.”

What could we expect of Valve in the near future? At least we know Valve is not working on a gaming console.

[ES]: Si han estado jugando juegos PC por varios años, deben saber que Valve es una compañía de software que ofrece principalmente una plataforma para distribuir juegos. Valve también hace juegos. El noveno aniversario de Steam ya se acerca (Sept. 12), pero la empresa no va a ser una de solamente software por mucho tiempo.

En la página de listas de trabajo de la empresa, la información acerca de la posición de diseñador industrial dice que: “Valve es tradicionalmente una compañía de software. Las plataformas abiertas como el PC y la Mac son importantes para nosotros, ya que permiten a nosotros ya nuestros socios a tener una relación robusta y directa con los clientes. Estamos frustrados por la falta de innovación en el espacio de hardware de las computadoras, así que estamos saltando adentro (entrando a esto). Hasta el input básico, el teclado y el ratón, en realidad no han cambiado de forma significativa durante los años . Hay un vacío real en el mercado, y las oportunidades para crear atractivas experiencias de usuario se pasan por alto”.

¿Qué podríamos esperar de Valve en el futuro cercano? Por lo menos sabemos que Valve no está trabajando en una consola de juegos.

OnlineEducation.net: “The World Without The Internet”

Posted on by

[EN]: The Internet has modernized the way we communicate, the information we search for, and the things we buy. However, the world without the Internet as we know it today would be a lot different without it. We would never have seen new companies such as Google & eBay, or new careers such as web deisgners or IT personnel. Information would not travel as fast. And there would have been a twit. But most importantly, people would not have had their voices heard as quickly and effectively via Facebook, Twitter or web sites. Although the freedom of expression online is at risk because of people who either wanted for power, greed, and control, we gotta keep fighting to keep it open and available to everyone. One thing though, the Internet has changed our lives. Infograph by OnlineEducation.net.

[ES]: El Internet ha modernizado la manera en la que nos comunicamos, la información que buscamos, y las cosas que compramos. Sin embargo, el mundo sin Internet como lo conocemos hoy sería muy diferente sin ello. No hubiéramos visto nuevas compañías como Google o eBay, o nuevas carreras como diseñador de sitios web o personal IT (tecnología de información). La información no viajase tan rápido. Y nunca hubiéramos visto un tuit. Pero más importante, a la gente no se le escucharía su voz tan rápida y efectivamente via Facebook, Twitter o sitios web. A pesar de que la libertad de expresión en Internet está en peligro por gente que  bien quiere poder, codicia y control, tenemos que seguir luchando para mantenerlo abierto y disponible para todo el mundo. Aunque una cosa sí, el Internet ha cambiado nuestras vidas. Infográfico por OnlineEducation.net.
