Curiosity

Googlavo in cerca di informazioni sul losco ed emerito figuro che risponde al nome di Calderoli , alla luce della sua ultima genialata (non mi sognerei mai di dare importanza ad un idiota così… a gratis) e che ti trovo? Il Prestigioso Premio Calderoli, su OneMoreBlog: … La frase è tata riportata da più o meno tutti i quotidiani nazionali e da varie radio e televisioni. Ora, è chiaro che un individuo di tale cultura e finezza intellettuale (tra l’altro rilevabile da zilioni di altre dichiarazioni di analoga qualità) merita ben di più che il lauto stipendio che gli versiamo mensilmente di tasca nostra. Ho quindi deciso di indire un Prestigioso Premio intitolato al Suo nome. Lo assegnerò - in modo del tutto occasionale, trasversale e arbitrario - a chiunque si produrrà in stronzate di tale portata da poter tentare di emulare questo Pittoresco Uomo in Verde… ...

Yes, another patent from Apple. That patent describe interaction-patterns in details, with particular attention on a “virtual keyboard” that appear in a “contextual-way”. Apple seems to be ready for an HCI REVOLUTON!!! Finally! Example images: Source, Melablog.

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!

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.

Singular but nice move from Apple: every booked (and now in distribution) MacBook Pro will be delivered with a SpeedBump Gift!

A state-of-art Server made up with beauty (and small) MacMini as “mind”. Take a look at this interesting howto (start from Melablog). He makes up Software Firewall, Mail Server, DNS Server, IP-over-Firewall connection for DB Server… all based on Air Port extreme!!! How? Modding the Air Port Antenna, obviously! ;)

A movie about the technologie which Apple has reacently pattented. It is not a movie made by Apple but by some researchers: On Google Video. Some toughts here.

It’s powered with prototype.js and script.aculo.us: nice! If you use the script.aculo.us slider control to capture input values, it’s really just a matter of converting those values into something useful and modifying styles. <script src="http://www.agilepartners.com/scripts/prototype.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script> A simple demo. (a Cut&Paste from the source site ;) ) Created by Agile Partners.com. I suggest to read the howto: it’s simple and clear. And demonstrate the power of script.aculo.us and prototype.js. ...
