How To Make A Homemade Motor Boat

Apple lancia un origami?

In the evening we will know what this "fun new product" by Steve Jobs announced a few days ago. Meanwhile, the engadget site asked its readers to imagine what could be this new device. The results are available in this fantastic gallery . Among the cases most likely talking about a video iPod, a tablet PC or a stereo-to-the-portable-type-rapper-80-years in which you can insert your iPod and enjoy the music amplified. I'd love it to be the second but I think it will be the third. :-)

Which Is Best Lic Or Icici

Cos'è origami?

For some days there is much talk of this secret project called the Microsoft Origami. The official website does not say much, and refers users to the date of March 2, 2006. A strategy to create the expectation now quite settled anywhere. Too bad that the 'D communications agency igitalKitchen (you must click on Enter the main site, then enter again and choose WORK / Brandtheatre) responsible for implementing the clip has decided to update their website too ... solerizia However, the video shows a device of DIMENSIONS halfway between a PDA and a Tablet PC that is used as a music player in order to draw (see the application you are using is already available in time for tablet pc), as GPS, like screen to view and send photos (in connection with a mobile phone) come cornice per le foto digitali, come telecomando per un media center, come consolle portatile, per collegarsi a Internet...

Uhm si appunto per collegarsi ad Internet ad uno strano sito il cui link è in bella evidenza nel commercial... http://www.taikoux.com/ . Si tratta di un blog apparentemente appena aperto con un solo post ed un commento (il secondo è il mio). Il post dice qualcosa del tipo... beh questo device non è niente di eccezionale ed anche gli usi che si vedono nel video sono forse impossibili per un oggetto con quel fattore di forma. Il dominio è registato da qualcuno che ha usato un servizio di proxy per rimanere anonimo. Il mistero si infittisce...

Piccolo aggiornamento: al momento il blog che ho linkato è scomparso :-o e al suo posto c'è un sito che parla di poker...

main vs non-main stream


Dal blog di una collega di gilda riporto questo interessante grafico che sovrappone la timeline degli eventi più importanti dello scorso anno negli Stati Uniti al numero di post pubblicati nei blog. Sicuramente esiste una correlazione ma come interpretarla? L'agenda dei blogger si forma su quella dei mezzi di comunicazione di massa? Purtroppo il grafico non può dire molto sulla natura di questa correlazione ma descrive bene una delle molteplici prospettive di ricerca che potrebbe essere interessante portare avanti sull'argomento.

Naked conversations italian translation

I started reading Naked Conversations by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel a few days. A book that deserves a translation into Italian especially to get to that vast audience of managers that we do not know neither English nor what the blogs are still less, read the 95 theses of the Cluetrain Manifesto . I wondered how to contact Scoble and I quickly mentally probed all traditional methods (email, try contacting some knowledge in Microsoft, write an official letter). Then I got an idea. Try to put into practice what Scoble and Israel recount in their book. In fact, this post was built, as well as in order to suggest to everyone (especially those who believe that blogs are useless) reading this book, even to get this request to the authors at the same time to see if Scoble Israel and actually eat the food they pack for their dogs / readers. The idea of \u200b\u200bNaked Conversations is that, through blogs, consumers may come into contact with the manufacturers through a medium of communication not reproduces the asymmetry of producer / consumer. The authors tell how sadly quite foolish for companies that produce goods and services ignore the opinions and judgments that consumers are exchanged over the Internet through blogs. More: monitoring is not enough. You need to go into these conversations and trying to defend the goodness of its products or the good name of your company directly into these conversations without a net. Not through the voices of the official press office, but through those of people who contribute to design and create products of that company. So I guess Scoble and Isreal will use a service like technorati to monitor what readers say about their book. If so was a good way to attract their attention and ask for permission for the translation could be a post like this ... Robert, Shel ... if you can read this then you are really eating the food of your dog. We'd like to ask you the rights to translate Naked Conversations in Italian. If u are interested just leave a comment here.

Machinima? Nothing new ... Once upon a time

Peter pointed out to me in a comment to the previous post that the phenomenon of which I speak is nothing new and exists since the first episode of Quake. Ineffective the voice machinima on Wikipedia dates the phenomenon to the early 90s and identifies the roots even in the demo a little psychedelic with which most of the pirates signed their performance during the early '80s. In my view, however, the most interesting part of Wired is summed up in that "for the masses." I believe that after all is only one aspect of a more general tendency to create / edit. Until a few years ago the masses could only benefit from these content. Today, thanks to a series of widely available technologies for the production and distribution of content, a growing band of people can experience the thrill of participating in mass communication from the perspective of the issuer and the recipient. Mass communication is no longer "read only". This process, "Getting Media" will have an impact today, it is difficult to understand the size but, in my view, can be compared to other historic transition characterized by access to certain technologies of mass communication (see the printing press of which still struggle to understand the real consequences on the structure of our society). Obviously il fenomeno dei machinima (e dei bellissimi fumetti realizzati con il motore di Half Life che segnala Pietro ) si presta a molti altri livelli di analisi fra cui quello estetico sul quale, per la verità, non so molto.

Highest Interest For £2000

Dawson

...oggi c'è gente che utilizza i motori 3d dei videogiochi per fare il regista senza bisogno di attori, luci, scenari o telecamere. Si chiamano Machinima e del fenomeno parla diffusamente Wired in un recente articolo . Ora un collega della gilda dei ricercatori europei mi ha segnalato questo filmato da non perdere realizzato con questa tecnica.
