I saw this comment on Gizmodo and thought it was interesting:

Just a bit of Trivia: Fortaleza is the Capital of Ceará, one of the States of Brazil. It´s a follow up for the codename used for Kinect in its early stages, "Project Natal", Natal being the name of the Capital of another Brazilian State, Rio Grande do Norte. Too many Brazilians working at Microsoft, huh?


No foreign sky protected me,
No stranger's wing shielded my face.
I stand as witness to the common lot,
survivor of that time, that place.
