    Christoph Oswald has no problem approaching women. As he makes his way through the crowd at his favorite Frankfurt club, his cell phone scans a 10-meter radius for “his type”: tall, slim, sporty, in her 30s−and, most important, looking for him, a handsome 36-year-old software consultant who loves ski holidays. Before he reaches the bar, his phone starts vibrating and an attractive blonde appears on its screen. “Hi, I’m Susan,” she says. “Come find me!” Christoph picks her out of the crowd, and soon they’re laughing over a drink.

    Both Christoph and Susan have phones equipped with Symbian Dater, a program that promises to turn the cell phone into a matchmaker. By downloading Symbian, they installed a 20-character encrypted code that includes details of who they are and what they’re looking for in a mate. Whenever they go out, their matchmaking phones sniff out other Symbian Daters over the unlicensed, and therefore free, Bluetooth radio frequency. If profiles match up, the phones beep wildly and send out short video messages.

Segundo o texto,

Em uma visita a um museu de arte indígena, um estudante observou quatro cocares acompanhados da seguinte placa explicativa:

 

In some indigenous cultures, headdresses represent Native peoples’ right to govern themselves according to their own laws. The materials they are constructed with can vary greatly, including wood, iron, feathers, and ivory. Rather than using gridded designs (symbols of spiritual beliefs) or putting birds or mammals at center stage, as several others do, horns were attached to this headdress, an emblem of power reserved for those “whose exceeding worth and power is admitted by all the nation”.

 

O texto descreve um cocar que se diferencia dos demais por apresentar chifres, sem utilizar padrões quadriculados nem colocar aves ou mamíferos em posição central.
