Mi resta il dubbio: ci sono o ci fanno?

Published by Stef under it, politica

La sottile voglia di regime che attanaglia l’Italia

Published by Stef under it, politica

Leggendo i vari commenti degli editorialisti italiani sulla sentenza contro Google colgo solo una gran voglia di regime. Non ho letto da nessuna parte che i ragazzini che hanno pubblicato i video ignobili sono già stati puniti e chissà se hanno imparato la lezione (suggerimento per un servizio da fare).

Il Corriere della Sera attacca ancora Google

Published by Stef under business, it

Torna Mucchetti, il giornalista castiga-google del Corriere della Sera, che mischia notizie con un articolo che parte dalla relazione del AGCom per tornare a chiedere  di castigare Google.

Why that thing on Nexus One?

Published by Stef under business, eng

I can’t get my head around one feature of Google’s superphone: why did they put that scroll-click-button at the bottom of the phone? Shouldn’t the touch screen be enough to use the phone? Besides, being so close to the bottom edge, can it really be used? If anybody is still thinking that Google wants to [...]

Condannate Google (e l’Italia con essa)

Published by Stef under community, it, politica

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.

Mobile phone markets are designed to split our community

Published by Stef under community, eng, fsf

Apple’s iPhone biggest innovation is its mobile app store: for the first time it allowed installing software on the mobile device with the convenience of any modern GNU/Linux distribution. Like in Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, installing software is just a matter of browsing a repository and click on a button. It’s such a good idea that [...]

Will Nokia become FLOSS best friend?

Published by Stef under business, community, funambol

Google’s power is making more people concerned that their motto ‘do no evil’ is not reassuring enough. Fabrizio Capobianco’s blog post summarizes the concerns of the Winston Smith Project. Google is scary because it controls the access point to the internet for 90% of users and because it’s expanding its reach to the mobile network. [...]
