meebo - IM Ajax based

meebo is a multi-IM client (in beta version right now) that is Web 2.0 enabled: a really cool use of Ajax! I tried it and seems to be functional and really usable (it’s in beta, don’t forget). Probably a very powerfull alternative for user without a Laptop or a Network-enabled palm. The most interesting features? it use 1024 bit encryption RSA for Ajax communications!

Gentoo: the Mactel-Linux Project

I was one of the first Gentoo-on-iBook-7450 installer: I have an idea of the obstacles that Apple make (voluntarily?) to stop the “waste” of our hardware. The installation of Gentoo on Mactel is only a “time issue”: EFI was, for me, the biggest problem (elilo rulez!). But I don’t know the internal hardware of that new machine. Anyway, Good Work guys.

Linus, Linux, i DRM ed il Trusted Computing

Un interessantissima disquisizione di Alessandro Bottoni reperibile su bicocca.net. … Ancora una volta, Linux ed il mondo Open Source, saggiamente, non fanno la guerra al Trusted Computing ma il mondo Trusted Computing sta sviluppando armi potentissime con cui fare la guerra a Linux ed al “mondo libero” (Open Source)… Lo stesso autore scrive su laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com e, in particolare, segnalo 2 categorie di questo blog: * [DRM](http://laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com/tag/drm/) * [Trusted-Computing](http://laspinanelfianco.wordpress.com/tag/trusted-computing/) Ed infine, il link ai miei post precedenti su DRM e TC.

SheepShaver: MacOS Classic on MacIntel

This application was bord with the run Classic Application in any operating system. It seems to be an “Emulation-Layer” (so, not a “Virtuallization-Layer”) and… it’s for available (and supported) on various systems: * [Linux](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) (i386, ppc, x86_64) * [MacOS X](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macosx) (<strong>i386</strong>, ppc) * [Darwin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29) * [NetBSD 2.0](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbsd) * [FreeBSD 5.3](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebsd) * [Windows for x86](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows) As you probably know, Apple, with new MacIntel, has cutted-off the support for Classic: it was a virtuallization, not an emulation and then… a simple recompilation it’s not enough. ...
