New Year, Old Stories

No, It’s not a post on politics or demagogy: it’s about foolishness!!! HD-DVD, one of the 2 “standards” of the future of Home-Movie (and Digital Video Storage in general), seems to be cracked… already. An anonymous cracker, called muslix64, have published a post on Doom9 about a very little Java program that is capable of Rip AACS-Encrypted video from an HD-DVD.

Why I love UK? Transports and Related Services

Take a look here: the Transport of London website. Well organized, rich, usefull. Every information users needs, also with other services like RSS News about “delays”, “tube enhancements”, “contest and festive related informations and suggestions”.

Why I love UK?

It’s not easy to explain… and I can’t synthetize my motivations in a couple of words. Hence, I think it’s a good idea to list, in a new series of post, the single facts one bye one. I’m from Italy and the needs of service and a bit of civilization is the main matter for me. I’m trying to change my life. I’m trying to come to live in the oldest “Monarchy” in the world.

Machintosh può farvi più Felici!

Recita così il finale di questo spot che MelaBlog ha pescato su www.spot80.it. Personalmente, le immagini potevano anche essere “buone” ma il messaggio, così come viene passato, è davvero scadente e quasi banale. Ma forse il mio palato ormai è assuefatto quasi alla moderna pubblicità, dove i giochi dei “doppi sensi”, del “non detto”, del “sussurrato”, della “seduzione intellettiva”… la fanno da padrone. Però, il messaggio è comunque VERO: il Mio iBook, il primo Mac, mi ha fatto DAVVERO PIU’ FELICE. ;)
