Apple

… or, at least, I do! ;)

Su consiglio del mio amico Nemo, prendo subito parte a questa simpatica quanto semplice iniziativa: i ragazzi di TheAppleLoungeregalano un iPhone ad estrazione. Le regole per partecipare… le trovate sul loro blog ;) Perche’ non partecipare? (… per non diminuire ancora ulteriormente le possibilita’ di vittoria, stupido!!! -_- )

Who knows me better, knows that I love the [en:WWW|Web]. So, I was seeking for info about the next generation of web. What I mean with “next generation”? I mean “what we can expect to see in the future”. And the best place, is to go were people (with good skills) go and start to discuss and brainstorm about this stuff. I found a very interesting pre-RFC: HTML 5 Working Draft. All the amazing and cool stuff are coming are there and is pointless for me to report them (just one: Client-Side Persistency!!! COOOOL!). But it’s interesting to see WHO is working on this. I mean, who is ALREADY thinking about what we will have in the “next World Wide Web”. ...

I know: Samba is Open Source and you can ALREADY do it by hand (on Tiger too) but it’s quite easier if you have a panel to set up it quicker. Take a look at this: Here is a complete gallery of screen-shots of the latest build of Leopard: 9A527. Source, mela|blog.it.

Thanks God, now I can [en:iSync]!!! As someone probably remember, I switched from an [en:Nokia E70] to a [en:Sony Ericsson W950i]. In the beginning, it was not possible to synchronize my [en:iBook] with my new smarth-phone because of a “strange” implementation of the [en:SyncML] protocol on Sony Ericsson/UIQ 3.0 phones. A lot of people has tried to figure out how to do it (Google for it), failing! But now [en:Sony_Ericsson] has finally released the relative plugins: ...

Update 14th August 2007: Look at this!!! The first NATIVE GAME for iPhone! Before that Apple itself release any game for it 8-O !!! It’s true: [en:iPhone] is based on [en:Mac_OS_X|Mac OSX] and it is quite similar to it. Apple, from the beginning, has chosen to close it, avoiding to release any [en:SDK] or stuff like that. Theoretically, the only thing a developer can do is to work on a Web 2.0/Ajax web app. That is not so bad, but… not enough. At least, for hackers that “likes to know more and more”. ...

[en:London] is one of the best place… if you want to steal an iPod: as average, every train in the tube has 10 iPods inside. And other 5 are inside any bus. But, because of this, the number of pod-snatching is very very high, and you can see in every station (particularly in Camden Town ;)) ads suggesting to “take care of your belongings”, a lot of them dedicated to the [en:iPod|Pod] of [en:Steve_Jobs|Jobs]. But now, there is a solution: and it comes from the smallest (LOL) competitor of iPod: [en:Zune|The MS Zune]!!! It is called Hide-a-Pod!!! ...

Ieri sono passato, come di consueto, su OSS|Blog.it e cosa ci trovo? Un brevissimo articolo su alcuni commenti che Nigel Clifford, CEO di Symbian, ha fatto su Linux e sul mercato degli smartphone con i piedi palmati. Ho provato ad inserire la mia risposta sul relativo post… ma niente. Dice che sto spammando. Quindi… provvedo a farlo da qui. Allora. Prima di essere assunto da Symbian, quando iniziai a studiarne la tecnologia e il Sistema Operativo, mi domandai come diavolo facevano a vendere una cosa così: Niente Eccezioni (Leave), niente (o quasi) thread (Active Objects), niente POSIX (almeno fino a quando mi hanno assunto, che è coinciso con il rilascio di P.I.P.S.), e… niente STL (ma staremo a vedere ancora per quanto ;) ). ...

Simply LOL!!! :D

Ok, the features of Leo are not so “special” and “amazing” and “incredible”, but I suppose that, until October, Applewants to still hide some secrets. But, WHERE THE HELL IS ZFS???
