Performed with three thousand adults, the study indicates that there is an embarrassment embedded in our brains in the size of the social network that even the communicative advantages of online media cannot overcome and concluded that the average number of friends, in the back, should be close to the natural size of the person social network: next to 150 individuals, because having more friends on Facebook probably doesn't mean having more 'real' friends than those who have less.

The anthropologist says that social networks can prevent friendships from falling into the void but that, only that, "May not be enough to prevent friendships from eventually dying naturally if they are not occasionally reinforced with face-to-face interaction".

And still in the field of social networks, the European Commission has decreed that without parental authorization minors 16 year old (before it was us 13 year old) are prohibited from accessing Facebook, measure that intends to protect data of minors become public. The ban was already applied to minors 13 year old, thus being extended.

Now we talk Skype Translator which is now available to all Windows users.

This is Microsoft's real-time translation tool that has been able to expand to different platforms and languages ​​since its launch in May 2014, but that is only now accessible to all Skype users on the Windows operating system.

To make sure your Skype is already ready for translations, just look for a ‘world’ symbol in the upper right corner of the application window. Microsoft says that if this icon still doesn't appear, then the user must update their software to the latest version of Skype.

Portuguese is one of the supported languages, both in the text and voice, an addition that was made in December last year.

Skype Translator now allows a Portuguese user to speak via voice call with Mandarin-speaking users, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Already known the list of nominees for the Oscars 2016, but rather a controversy.

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith and director Spike Lee threatened to boycott the ceremony. At issue is the non-nomination of black actors.

Cheryl Boone Isaacs, presidente da Academy of Motions Picture Arts and Science, already revealed that there will be no changes to this year's list of nominees, but that the recruitment policy will be reviewed in order to ensure racial diversity among the various members of the Academy.
