Leggo con raccapriccio sul Corriere di oggi la felicità di Massimo Mucchetti nel chiedere che Google venga condannata dai giudici di Milano con (cito):
una sentenza che potrebbe [...] costringere il re della rete, Google, a correggere il suo modello di business aperto e, oggi, irresponsabile.
per la vicenda del video con protagonisti dei piccoli delinquenti che [...]

Get this: Microsoft execs are desperately trying to reach kids and hipsters (pretending Windows is a cool brand) that they allow anybody to broadcast their tweets in the store window at legendary Saks on Fifth Avenue New York.
So here is your chance: tweet about software freedom, GNU, and Windows7sins using the #holidaywindows hashtag. And have [...]

This comic reminded me the first lesson I learned when I graduated: things are very different out of academia.

via xkcd – A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language – By Randall Munroe.

Il Ministro Brunetta ha fama di castigatore di fannulloni e di uno che odia gli sprechi. Come tutti quelli prima di lui, tenta di risolvere i noti problemi della pubblica amministrazione italiana con riforme a colpo di decreti, circolari, ordinanze. Esattamente come i suoi predecessori però si lascia irretire dalle elargizioni di Microsoft, che gratuitamente [...]
