Java Openbusiness ha messo online un servizio per poter archiviare il proprio OS Skill e mostrarlo su una mappa che raccoglie le competenze italiane in tale settore. Come c’era da aspettarsi, utilizza Google Maps e le relative api JS. Sembra proprio una cosa interessante ed intelligente da fare: a colpo d’occhio ci si rende conto del fatto che questo fenomeno sembra tutt’altro che “alieno” al contesto Italia. Sorgente, puntoict.it.
Admittedly the machine is just a proof of concept – it performs no useful function except to self-replicate – but the basic principle could be extended to create robots that could replicate or at least repair themselves while working in space or in hazardous environments, according to Hod Lipson, Cornell assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and computing and information science, in whose lab the robots were built and tested. ...

Il primo audio-libro completato del progetto LibriVox. “Che cosa è la Mafia” di Gaetano Mosca. Mafia: cinese, americana, nera, turca, giapponese, libanese, russa… e soprattutto Cosa Nostra. Non spaghetti, pizza, radio, ma mafia è il vero contributo lessicale dell’Italia del XX secolo alla ridefinizione multimediale della realtà spirituale dell’uomo del duemila. Perché l’universale fortuna del vocabolo? La radice del fenomeno mafioso è nella politica: questa la perentoria, illuminante risposta, già agli inizi del XX secolo, nel sintetico, formidabile scritto Che cosa è la mafia, di Gaetano Mosca, il grande sociologo che, con la dottrina delle élite, ha fondato la scienza politica contemporanea. Per saperne di più sull’audiolibro, e per caricarlo sul vostro iPod, vi rimando a questa pagina di Downloadblog. Buon ascolto! ...
