Ok, por un momento pensé que Microsoft había caído super bajo con este comercial, pero fue creado por un “fan”…. el caso es que este anuncio no me hace correr a comprar un Zune para luego hacer lo que el gordo hace en el video…. a menos que tenga un fetiche escatológico, pero no estamos hablando de mi, sino de Zune :P Arte, WTF o video realizado por un Apple fanboy? ¡Compártelo!

If you’ve got an iPhone, you’ve got a mobile recording studio. The FourTrack app by Sonoma Wire Works allows for multi-channel recording and mixing of any sound source you can mic up with your iPhone. 10 years ago, you couldn’t get this technology any cheaper than $350 for an analog tape system. Now for $9 from the iPhone App store, you can get a CD-quality 4-track for your iphone. Kudos, Sonoma! [sonoma] What else is ...

There’s been a lot of speculation about the foreign-policy implications of Rep. Rahm Emanuel serving as Barack Obama’s White House chief of staff, much of which, of course, is …speculation. Below are two of the less fevered and somewhat more reassuring analyses of Emanuel and his views on the Middle East — one by Jim Zogby, the president of the Arab American Institute (AAI), the other by Lara Friedman, the policy and government relations director ...

E' uno di quei casi in cui ti chiedi: come ho (hanno) fatto a non pensarci prima? Flickr e del.icio.us - che è meglio di qualunque altro strumento di search, se hai poco spazio o poca voglia di fare una query complessa - sull'iPhone, e iTunes finalmente sul web, e distribuito attraverso Yahoo! Music e tutti i portali di Yahoo! nel mondo. E' una coppia perfetta. Certo, sarà un modello di tipo walled garden come ...

Si congeda Windows 3.11, balia di tanti informaticiLa BBC segnala una dipartita importante nella storia dell'informatica: le licenze di Windows 3.x non sono più disponibili a partire dal primo novembre di quest'anno.Il venerabile (almeno per anzianità, suvvia) ambiente operativo debuttò negli USA a maggio del 1990. La versione 3.11 fu quella che scatenò il boom di Windows nel mondo: non era il primo ambiente a finestre, perché qualcuno ricorderà per esempio GEM con il mitico ...

10月29日晚，在深圳一家酒樓餐廳，一個11歲的女孩被陌生的叔叔要求帶路去廁所，快到廁所門口時突然被叔叔掐住脖子往廁所裏拖。女孩僥倖掙脫，跑回父母的包間哭訴。她的父母來講理時，「怪叔叔」竟然大言不慚地說「我就是幹了，怎麽樣？要多少錢你們開個價吧，我給錢嘛！」當女孩父母找到該男子講理時，男子竟叫囂「我是交通部派來的，級別和你們市長一樣高，敢跟我鬥？你們這些人算個屁呀！」 此事經網友報料，由深圳廣電「第一現場」欄目報道後，掀起軒然大波。30日下午4時許，奧一網獨家挂出事發視頻，視頻隨後被瘋狂轉載。30日晚間，網站悄然貼出該視頻新聞。經網友照片對比，涉嫌猥褻女童的男子身份很快曝光：林嘉祥，深圳海事局黨組書記、副局長。文字及圖片來源「人可以無恥，但不能無恥到這種程度」一看這位黨組書記照片，典型高官形象，肥頭肉身，層層脂肪包裹內卻是一顆狼虎獸心。相比玩膩以鈔票換來妙齡少女肉身的遊戲，轉而走去非禮女孩的無恥行為，後續叫囂咆哮更是震撼萬分。首先理直氣壯承認「我就是幹了」，凸顯官權橫行，儼如曾聽聞大陸掛上軍牌小汽車在交警眼皮底下亂沖紅燈之霸道。再爆出「你們開個價吧，我給錢嘛」，欲用臭惡金錢收買女孩父母人格與尊嚴。最後更以人神共憤的「敢跟我鬥，你們這些人算個屁呀！」來收場，短短數句對答，活生生、坦蕩蕩地勾勒出一幅典型官場現形圖，多高尚的黨員形象又被這極個別的幾粒老鼠屎所玷污，定抑或這幾粒老鼠屎只是冰山一角？逼於輿論壓力，深圳海事局就此事公開發表了道歉，可那位「怪叔叔」為何不親自站出來，給大眾一個交代？心虛口難辨，或以沈默應對責罵與公眾審判，等待風波平息，再「重新做人」。中國人最擅長大事化小，小事化無，貪污腐敗與罪惡得以蔓延，其中原因正是由這種循環，及不了了之的避責而生。
