Think of it: this is the only way these two giants could sign a real deal agreement. Now, let me see… Although MS did not reach its target, it’s still true that they’re so much interested in Y, and Yahoosoft sounds good; I like it. If all this stuff is bullshit for you, please don’t [...]
Regis Philbin, conduttore televisivo classe ’31, è una “mia” vecchia conoscenza; quando a Philadelphia seguivo con molta simpatia il suo Who wants to be a Millionaire. Guardate questo spezzone del programma e godetevi (letteralmente godetevi) il finale. Capirete -ed aggiungerete al vostro vocabolario d’inglese- il perchè della parola ‘owned‘.

Appappeal è un sito web lanciato oggi dalla olandese Comcoaster, con lo scopo di aiutare utenti privati e professionali a scegliere la miglior applicazione web-based da utilizzare. E così vengono analizzati pro e contro dei vari Zoho, GoogleDocs, Netvibes e Pageflakes; qualche volta riuscendo a fornire informazioni di comparazione tra applicazioni della stessa famiglia. E’ [...]
Briefly: google docs + gears + firefox on my eeepc. Tried this morning; astonishing, surprising: click, download, install, restart browser and… go! Great.

My office, these days: “Gawd damn was that foul! Purge the cabin before we sufficate back here!” Purge the cabin: rolling the windows down on a vehicle for some fresh air, usually after one of the passengers has passed gas (source: Urban Dictionary).

From the Financial Times: “Deutsche Telekom has held exploratory takeover talks with Electronic Data Systems, the US-based IT service provider, in a drastic change of strategy over the future of its struggling business customer division, T-Systems. The talks are to explore a potential takeover of EDS by T-Systems, people close to the situation told FT [...]
La prima arriva da Da BL Ochman; un interessante scritto da far assolutamente leggere a chi si vuol cimentare con un modaiolo Corporate Blog. La seconda ci porta ad un post intitolato “Three ways to do less” degli amici di Web Worker Daily, che non poteva non attirare la mia attenzione: questione di DNA. La [...]
We, at lucabonesini.it, do fully support exporting the “oldie but goodie” Italian tradition. This “home-made pomodoro salsa” regularly happens every year in Havertown, not to far from Philadelphia, where Roby the host (also master at thesaucebrothers.com) cooks tons of red-passion tomatoes sauce: the long and cold north-eastern winter is not the same when you’ll taste [...]
This would probably make the security guru Bruce Schneier laugh. The shot was taken at the Olbia Airport, Sardegna-Italy, probably the most VIPs-visited airport in the southern Europe.

Directly from the Financial Times, Mobile Threats and Solutions: ¦ Loss or theft of hardware: Use removable media, encrypt data, and physically secure laptops using a notebook security lock from a company such as Belkin. ¦ Physical intrusion – a USB key sucks data from a hard drive or loads malware: Keep laptop within sight, [...]
From wordpress.org: “Looking for something fun to do this summer? All college and university students around the world are invited to apply to get paid $4,500 USD to work on your favorite open source project this summer. WordPress is among the 131 accepted to Google Summer of Code, of more than 300 projects that applied. [...]
Online UK news website Telegraph.co.uk is publishig an incredible story about credit cards’ holders, who are fined because of positive balances on their cards. “MBNA, the American credit card giant, has written to thousands of people in the past few weeks who have inadvertently paid the company too much money”. No way we could have [...]
It’s been a long time – months — since I have been told I was gonna be ‘The Man who will help us to cross the river’. Nothing has happened so far, though. Word for word, I’m pissed off; and no, it is not of any help the fact that I’m rich… highly rich… inside. [...]
L’idea mi è venuta leggendo questo post su Techcrunch. SpinVox offre un servizio di ‘Voice to Text’, capace di trasformare una qualsiasi registrazione vocale in testo, che viene poi recapitato al destinatario via email o sms. I dettagli della loro offerta sono disponibili sul sito SpinVox. Se, invece come me, volete solo testare il servizio [...]
Elizabeth and Roby, thank you guys: that was the perfect present. You know I am (seriously) addicted to games, but this is so much cool; you can’t imagine. Only one issue, though: Giorgia wants me to step aside ’cause she likes it too. Check it out! Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook [...]
“The Internet slowliness issue is now resolved”, scrivono i miei amici d’oltralpe. Tralasciando i perchè ed i per come della vicenda, mi piace sottolineare la fantasia dell’autore: la sostantivazione di un aggettivo come iperbole linguistica. Accattivante, analgesica.

You won’t believe it, guys! I know this firm, which would like to become a first class player in the system integration business, trying to aggressively approach the marketplace; some techies, a couple of geeks, mid/high level prices and (fortunately) a lot of cash flow generated by the other (still) biggest business line. They are committed to the bs7799 [...]
Curioso post dell’amico John a proposito del crescente fenomeno del ‘link baiting’; è cioè “Link baiting looks at linking as a fishing expedition. In order to catch a fish, you need bait. In the case of site development, the fishes are other websites or blogs and the bait is your content”. Chissà se il solo [...]
This guy is crazy; this company is crazy too. But I love them. Here is what they say: “I dunno know about you, but I just hate rewinding my DVDs manually after watching them. Thank goodness someone came up with the DVD rewinder to relieve my tired hands. Just snap the disc on top, press [...]
“Italian hackers arrested for credit card details gleaned from the Internet”, they wrote. Two Romanians (not Italians) and two Bangladeshi (not Italians) operating from a call center in the Casilino area (Rome… Italy???).

Jaiku is (or will be) the ‘social phone book’, a phone book that lets you share your real-time rich presence from the phone. From Jaiku’s blog: “We invented the term ‘rich presence’ to describe the many relevant things a phone knows about you. Rich presence on Jaiku includes an IM-style away line, your phone profile [...]
Sophos is saying that ‘many home users should consider switching to Apple Macs, to shield themselves from the malware onslaught’. Why? Mister Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, talks about ‘hackers that seem happy to primarily target Windows users and not spread their wings to other platforms’. His conclusion is easier than it’d appear: ‘It seems likely [...]
“Mass evacuations began and about 700 Pennsylvania National Guard troops were activated for emergency duty today as steadily worsening river and stream flooding began inundating communities throughout the region in a disaster of potentially historic proportions”. Philadelphia, “My Philly” still in trouble; hope this won’t postpone my trip to the States… again! Rob&Liz: are u [...]
Non me ne vogliano i colleghi, ma ho già passato la segnalazione al marketing per il prossimo kickoff. “Shoot me if you can is an urban game inspired by first person shooting online video game.
