Interessante digressione di OSBlog su un problema PESANTEMENTE SENTITO da me (come altri miei colleghi) dell’uso SBAGLIATO, INDISCRIMINATO E SENZA MOTIVO di software a pagamento nei centri di ricerca e nelle università (soprattutto dove si potrebbe evitare, anche e soprattutto per motivi didattici). Dal mio punto di vista, sono diversi anni che suggerisco (ormai sempre con meno vigore… gli ignoranti restino ignoranti) nel mio ambiente universitario l’uso di software opensource lì dove se ne trarrebbe SOLO vantaggio. Leggasi vantaggi economici, vantaggi didattici (usare un sistema unix accresce e di molto le proprie conoscenze informatiche), vantaggi “amministrativi” (l’Università, la mia facoltà potrebbe tranquillamente scegliere 3/4 ragazzi in gamba per gestirsi sito web e tanti servizi ad esso correlati… invece si affida ad aziende che si fanno pagare contratti milionari per fare cose che dei bravi studenti (magari sotto la guida di un buon docente) potrebbero TRANQUILLAMENTE fare da soli). ...

Sembra proprio che la questione sia più grande di quanto ci abbiano voluto far credere sin ora: i magistrati, dichiarano, indagavano su Fazio già dall’estate. Il Governo comincia a spaccarsi (Bossi liquida Fazio come “già scomparso” mentre Berlusconi ammonisce “non sarà una nuova mani pulite”): cominciano ad uscire fuori gli scheletri dagli armadi? Staremo a vedere. Intanto tutto il paese sta facendo una ENORME figura di me**a internazionale. Fonte.

It’s a java applet that make a “signature mix” of your library based on information like rating or number of plays. Here my signature (and here). Here the site where you can found the iTSM.

Wozland: it’s the name that Wozniak use for it’s “child-centric” home. And, it’s on “for sale”. Here the brochure. From MelaBlog.

I’m sure: all mac users already know what the next MacWorld promise to deliver us. I wants only to “highlight” you the sure date and the official link: http://www.macworldexpo.com/live/20/. Jobs, of course, present the event the January 9. Any idea about that? :D :D :D

… but continue to do the thing that Google make in the BEST WAY: http://www.google.com/musicsearch. This is the new service that the big G offers: centralization of Music search, getting data from stores like iTunes Music Store MSN Music CD Universe Real Rhapsody and some others. Offers Album indicization (obviously) and other amazing services like lyrics. I hope Google offers APIs (really? I’m sure he will do!): in a little amount of time some applications will use the informations stored in this Services to increase our beautiness :D (examples? some OpenSource application can retrieve Lyrics from the Google “auto-magically”!). ...

Yes, I’m sure I’ll like this film much too much. Here the Teaser and the first Trailer. Notice: The quality of the trailers is STRONGER. The algorithm H.264 developed by Apple and released as open format is demonstrating it’s power!!!

Ok ok ok. You already know very well that URLs but… I don’t. Want’s to kill me? :( Jef Raskin web page Steve Jobs CV (and homepage on .Mac) Steve Wozniak The page of Jobs looks like a “by-hand-personally-work”: if you take a look of the movies, you can understand with what software he make them. On the Raskin page (you know he’s dead? I already know :P) there is a link to the much too much interesting Project Archy: this project seems to be the realization of the things in his book The Humane Interface (Addison-Wesley 2000). I promise I’ll take a look at this and will spend my two cents on it.

Grillo talks about a mail that a good friend of Luigi Tenco, Gino Paoli, sends to it. In the mail Paoli talks about: … Another journalist who wants to ask me about Luigi. But I believe that a friend should leave him in peace. They say that things about his death are not clear, but who is it that has so much interest in knowing the truth? Journalists? Finally they’ll write their own piece. They’ll have the article on the front page. The magistrate? He too will have some exposure. Friends that knew him? The true friends stay silent and don’t try to profit by going to the TV or the newspapers…. ...
