Today Google shows a logo different than usual, showing the crop circles. Now we know that when the home page of the search engine is updated with a particular shape is to celebrate a specific occasion or a specific event. Only the authors of the novelty never reveal the reason (except in case of holidays known to everyone) but they usually do so that their users find themselves with only the help of coded message they leave on Twitter. Today is 51.327629 - 0.5616088, which seems to translate into geographic coordinates of a particular spot. And surfers are already wanted with the assumptions about the meaning hidden. There are those who dare that this is an early birthday wish for Orson Wells, as the candles go out in a few days and a mile away from the point indicated is the HG Wells Conference & Events Centre. But the most accepted solution is that the geographical data indicate a small British town where 15 September 1985 was sighted a flying saucer, then the logo might today be a tribute to quell'avvenimen
to catch with traditional methods. However, the situation is surely destined to change in a few years when the older generations are still formed by people who grew up in touch with the latest technological means and through the daily practice of web surfing. Perhaps then we also change the information regarding the specific use that the Italians are the network, which currently seems to highlight the exploitation of this means more to visit entertainment sites, games and social networks rather than for cultural content.
Browsing the web I found an article detailed about how to manage privacy settings on Facebook and how to behave to minimize the chances of unwanted third parties can spy in our profile and take advantage of them personal information about ourselves and our movements. A bit long to read, but only because it provides us with detailed information, the piece lists the top ten how to deal with unpleasant situations that may occur, whether in private life and at work, because of all the personal data that involuntarily leave network. Consequent to the issue of what employers can find out about us looking around the Internet that I mentioned in a previous post, in this piece you can find instructions on how to tackle the problems that we incur if we do not control how the various social networks manage our private information.
book, YouTube and similar news about anyone can find us on the internet, but employers have wised up and started to use this to get more information about possible candidates for recruitment. A sort of control of our "virtual criminal record" in other words, a way for more than the data that we present the curriculum. It may seem trivial, but now we must be careful to leave comments in the network and publish photos, could be the cause of our dismissal, there have already been such cases. This is the message that goes directly to the young Obama and that the Corriere della Sera article summarizes a now available on its website. In addition to information that can be found in the piece, I add the 5 rules, not always easy to follow, the paper proposes that the margins on the printed version to watch out for details as to guard against such cases:
ssi only in small part. The bird, trained for the occasion, he covered the distance of 70 km between a user and another to demonstrate its ability to be able to exchange information between the two much faster than the Web connection they could use instead. The idea came from a joke a joke African employee of a company that complained about the slowness of the connection, but the proof of the animal made headlines and was used to demonstrate the 'inadequacy of connection internet in the area. It is hardly news that there are parts of the world's hyper-digitized, and other areas where hand could not be reached even the minimum level of computerization, but extreme cases such as this lead once again to reflect the importance that technology now has become in our lives and work to not get back and be out of the system. Now I wonder: maybe a problem in South Africa as this can still be marginal, or certainly not at the top of the list of concerns that poverty and social situation in many areas, but here? Italy pursues other countries, frequently the last places in an attempt to adapt to using new tools that flourish in the market from day to day, but in fact even here there are still areas that are not even reached dall'adsl, and we did not in Africa. Looking in my small, a village in the outskirts of Bologna, for even as little else, I note the difference in situation between my house, near the center, and home of some friends of my own city moved slightly in the country. I come studded with phone calls in which I will offer any new effort to improve my connection, they come to me to be able to use
some of my adsl because in their area can still only have the 56k and between 'more often with various problems. In practice, although living up to 2km away from me, are a completely different internet connection and outdated, so inappropriate that often prefer to give up the idea of \u200b\u200busing the web for their research to avoid having to fight with the excessive slowness of the their connection, this is because the DSL stops at a few houses away from them (especially that of the mayor, what a coincidence ...). Some people, to remedy the problem, an adjustment with the laptop running between the houses of others in an attempt to find and use the wi fi someone else's situation reminds me a bit of a pigeon as an alternative to the poor means that you have. Against I wonder about all this: first to pursue a new tool and then makes available to only a few, would it not be the case balance the situation by putting the first affordable for anyone at least means that should be the basis of ?

ROMA 17, 18 and 19 September 2009 at the Clock Theatre Festival will take place on Body Performance Art "Mutations Profane "organized by the artists Kyrahm, Julius and Sylvia Kaiser Di Ianni.
The challenge is' to propose Theatre in a show enjoyable hour, artistic expression born in an entirely different context: from extreme body art of rave parties, performing the actions of the '60s and '70s, the most sophisticated installations from the museum of human ' contemporary art performance, living pictures, extreme actions on the body, strength tests, accompanied by live music and video.
This is an experiment that has no precedent in Italy.
The event will open on September 17 with " Chrysalis", the installation human Kyrahm Square Clock. It will be a very light structure placed at the center of the square in which the artist you are going to wrap you like a cocoon and remain locked for 30 consecutive hours , guarded and assisted by her mother who will ensure their needs for the duration of performance.
Isolation is an illusion to feel secure . A simple in form but in the many difficulties such as the closure in a cocoon for two days to remind us that from periods of obscurantism, of crisis and anomie exiting through art . The demonstration that shut themselves up to defend themselves in reality exposes us to greater risks: remain chained to the thought patterns of their culture to become invisible.
Kyrahm performative action will be documented and live for the duration of the event on the website through the images some webcams connected. The media, curated by Francesca Fini, will make it possible to interact with Kyrahm through the site.
Kyrahm is a 'multi-faceted and visual artist of the underground scene of Rome, in 1999 winner of the prize category Mythos conceptual art. It deals with visual and performing arts.

adjuvant The theme of the works is the concept of mutation : bodies in evolution, extreme body art , metamorphosis. Each mutation aesthetic, psychological, gender, sexual imposition and every body is representative of a fluid and ever changing society where the work of art must necessarily lose the character of stillness that is typical of other expressions.
The extreme body art on the assumption that everything must be real. Kyrahm The artist in a tribute to Ron Athey in collaboration with the Bloody Cirkus, will investigate the relationship between Christian iconography bodyart and extreme performance in "Sacrifice " where we will see a real crucifixions affecting the meat and really cry blood. The work has no end provocative, but representative extolling the sentiments land, human, linked to the meat.
The meat is subject to model human installation "Obsolescence of Gender" of Kyrahm and Julius Kaiser tells the FtM transition (from woman to man), chosen among the 30 best in the world exploration gender performance in the U.S..
The gentleness and cruelty mingle in love various representations: from "Tomorrow and again yesterday," Julius Kaiser through fragments offers a reflection on loss and remembrance, love of corrupt "The Jeweller" and Julius Kyrahm of Kaiser, the relationship between victim and executioner proposed by Sylvia Di Ianni in "Nympholeptoi" investigating the Stockholm syndrome, the ironic vision of Francesca Fini author of "Cry Me a River " and" L'Amour ".

countermove Here it is the best search engine on the web in response to the recent blows to Microsoft: Caffeine , the project that will improve the work of making sure that Google the latter returned for each search a much larger number of times results in significantly faster and more accurate and faithful finding answers to users' requests. The creators of Caffeine say they are working in the program for months and that the having it made public only now has nothing to do with the recent developments of their competitors, but how can we believe that recent agreements Bing- Yahoo and Facebook, FriendFeed not have worried them even a little? In fact always bounces on the web these days the news that FriendFeed, a social network but not very common here in Italy, which attracts a wide audience of users in the United States, was purchased by the most famous Facebook. The first seems to be a cross between the Twitter and its new owner, but their version is considered a more sophisticated and more "educated", niche and not mass. Besides the ability to connect with their friends, lets you organize all in a single stream of updates of the various online services to which you are registered and many are already using information as a tool to disseminate news in real time.
taxes as stated in the U.S. just raised the priority is no longer morning coffee and breakfast but checking e-mail, phone, Facebook and friends connected at that time. Era Internet is the purpose of winning the user's time by more and more new services and fast, the war now takes place on the web and major network and information are adapting.

Microsoft continues to launch attacks on Google in an attempt to limit its dominance on the web and steal a big chunk of users. Before the launch of Bing, now the agreement with rival Yahoo to manage all search engine and sales of advertising space. How will Google groped to defend its leading position? Besides the already announced Chrome operating system due out later this year, there will be more counter-moves? And in the meantime, Apple will remain to watch or take part in the war? There will be points of conflict with the antitrust laws?
does not stop there. The French do not fit. A little more than a week after the approval of law against online piracy , the socialist deputies have submitted appeal to the Constitutional Court for annulment of the law. The latter tries to protect the copyright material on the Internet by punishing offenders who dump illegally, warning them first with mail and registered mail, then removing them connect to the network. Small detail: they must continue to pay the same subscription.
footprint of a breach of privacy ? But above all, we can no longer even have the freedom to formulate a thought negative personal or otherwise with respect to the business we work without a guarantee that those who are above us did not come to know and prepare any repercussions? Yes, because apparently this new tool even allows you to enter into the thoughts of people and detect their level of dissatisfaction. Allow me to bring back the phrases in my opinion the most important part:
"You lose time ... to save time ... spend less time ...". How many times during the last lesson of computer science prof. has given similar sentences? I do not know, after a while I lost count. Apparently communication is adapting to what characterizes the search for more information from the user, that is the rush of it. Obviously, the web and on-line newspapers are among the first to adapt by cutting all that would take you too long to read and the reporter too long to write more and more synthetic securities, eyelet virtually disappeared, short articles, as some longer have the copy-paste the agency deleted the videos that take too much to load, images that speak for themselves so you avoid having to accompany a text, sites with as much information as possible in stacked one next to 'other. Lots of news then, but how are they treated? We'll get to the point where count plus the amount of quality? O now we have already?
It fits perfectly in this context, the site Italianews , created by a consortium of magazines to local newspapers in each region. Virtually the newspapers that subscribe to them, while maintaining their personal website with news of their area, go to this site also their main news. The idea seems good, basically you can not get the idea of \u200b\u200ba national newspaper made with pieces of the various regions and provide users with news not only of their city but also those further afield. But what is so special? Those involved in putting together the pieces? The computer itself, or through special aggregators around the web browsing and searches of news read more about all the other sites. Virtually does it all: read the whole network, select what they want and copy it into your page. Again a great time-saver for us that we should not make the effort to go at each paper (but not really we have more to lose even a few minutes?) and for those who create the news that in this case delegated the job to the PC. But in this way who controls the quality of what is being provided?
detail that particularly draws my attention during the last lesson of computer science: in Australia, in areas populated by nothing but farms, children do not go to school together but they lesson via each radio at home.
