Tuesday or Wednesday last week, Appleintroduces one of the Greatest Piece of Art that the world of Technology has ever (EVER!) seen. This: Yesterday, the less than a week after, at 235 Regent’s Street they were Sold-Out!!! The guys there said that «it was sold-out almost the same day it went on the market!!!». ...
I could start comment this out, but the article itself is interesting enough: I don’t need to add my own juice (and, most important, it doesn’t need it neither). […] We owe our well-crafted democratic form of government with its cleverly designed system of checks and balances, to a weird bunch of policy, technology, and scientific wonks and nerds such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Alexander Hamilton. These guys and their compatriots were the kind of wonks and nerds, who, when presented with a problem and a complex system to analyze and possibly replicate, threw themselves into learning as much about it as possible. Some were best at policy, and others were best at technology, and some, like Jefferson and Franklin were outstanding contributors to both. But today - because some of them did not exactly have winning personalities and others had personal morality issues - few would have little chance of getting elected. Which is a shame because not only did they have the desire, education and life experience to deal with such problems, they also had what Walter Lippmann - a premier political journalist of past decades - called “civic virtue.,” […] The wonks and nerds we need to run for political office and take direct control are out there. Some I see working within government advising the politicials, such as engineering nerd and ecomomics wonk Neel Kashkari, the interim assistant secretary in the U.S. Treasury assigned with the responsibilty for managing the financial bailout. Others I meet at the embedded system design, science, and technology meetings I attend and write about. Many of you are satisfied and busy with the work you trained for. Others may have a complete disdain for politics and politicians. But remember our representative democracy was designed as a “goverment OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people.” […] ...

I strongly suggest to see this documentary. It will help people understand a lot of things about “how” things actually works in the [en:World Economy], why we trade Money and… why [en:USA] holds in its hands the balls of the World Economy. Or, doesn’t it? The Day of the Dollar Roel van Broekhoven (Backlight 2005) The documentary is in [en:Dutch] with English subtitles.
I just read “The Metamorphosis”. And I liked it… until I reached the last page of it. Where I understood that Franz Kafka is an Idiot. First Edition Cover I like of course very much the quality and Franz is, out of any doubt, a great novelist… but I totally disagree with the message, the perspective and the conclusion of it. P.S. I read it with the great Stanza for iPhone.

As I said, I’m doing some stuff with Google AppEngine. And, of course, I’m facing the usual problem of Browser Incompatibility: Browser Incompatibility ;-) =Browser Incompatibilities: the Most Common Problem= The most common problem for Web Site developers is the fact that every browser treats HTML Tags, CSS and Javascript in it’s own way. This Recipe tries to address one of the problem I faced the most: having a slightly different CSS for every Browser. =The Usual Solution= The usual solution is to load every time a different CSS depending on the Browser. But this solution has some side effects: ...
I know I’ll now have some problems for posting this, but I can’t deny that it is VERY FUNNY!!! It’s a blog, with daily comic-strips about a very particular “couple”: Jesus and Mohammed. The blog is entitled: Jesus and Mo. I was unable to find the name of the author (what a surprise), but I really don’t care. Is he American, Saudi, Egyptian, Iraqi, Thai, Chinese or Napolitan? I really don’t care, as long as the strips are smart and funny. ...
