As you know, U.S.A. is having a very bad time, the resulting effect is a “big credit crunch”. For this reason big company operating in the IT are cutting down their minor services. Google is famous for having pushed a lot of “beta” services, and now the company is reviewing its decisions. Orkut (the Facebook-clone until Facebook acquisition…) is one of the service facing a lack of interest by BigG. We can read below the story of a guy who had its credential stolen by a set of smart hackers:

Si parla molto di Internet su… Internet, ma tutte le pagine che trattano della storia di Internet hanno due classici difetti: (a) sono verbosissime e (b) sono in inglese. Così abbiamo pensato di fare un riassunto super compatto nelle pagine di Gioorgi.com…
La prima rete interconnessa è quella creata dal dipartimento di difesa americano, e chiamata ARPANET. Siamo all’inizio degli anni 70.

Google Chrome (BETA)
12/11/2008 10:00:00 AM
Since we first released Google Chrome, the development team has been hard at work improving the stability and overall performance of the browser. In just 100 days, we have reached more than 10 million active users around the world (on all seven continents, no less) and released 14 updates to the product. We’re excited to announce that with today’s fifteenth release we are taking off the “beta” label!

In the last year, "Apple Computer" has changed a bit its focus.
First of all, Apple has erased the word "computer" in the company name.
Then, has shifted its focus on new products like the iPhone.
iPhone is a GSM telephone, and so it is quite different product for a computer company.

Oracle buys BEA and Sun buys MySql.
In reply,Migrosoft is hungry and is watching Yahoo :-)
<joking>
Any bets on the next money-based-news?
I'm going for
- Oracle buys Sun: "We need more hardware to run Oracle and WebLogic together! "
- Google buys Oracle: "We have *even* more hardware...come on!"
- Apple buys Google: "So nice LOGO", retrodating a bunch of stock options, I suppose.
- Microsoft buys Apple ("So annoied their are more cool then us!") and shut down all them all so you will end up using their search engine, I hope.

iPhone is a very nice project, well designed and manufactered, but the market addressed is
an hard bet for Apple.
Big players are already on the ground: Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Sony for instance.So it is difficult to play in such market, and some analysts said "the touch screen was not successful for GSM/phone products".

Is it amazing things you can do with a simple Bourne Again Shell (bash).
I have just discovered you can open socket using a small redirection syntax, and emulate small checks you normally do with curl or wget.
The bash shell manual is always poor about examples, and this is very very sad.

Celeste
Celeste is a mail reading and organizing program. The name "Celeste" is a reference to an earlier mail reader named Baba, which was written at Xerox PARC by Steve Putz and John Maloney.
Nowadays, Celeste is maintained by Giovanni Giorgi (me).Latest Feature
A new revision is planned for the end of September 2006, and code name will be "Sonic". Sonic will include a smart mailing-list filter and a better "leave message on server" option. I implemented years ago an auto-filtering system in AppleScript. The filtering engine used the RFC2369 and some other tricks to detect yahoo mailing list. Sonic will have also an auto-filter for google mailing list too.The leave message on server option is quite bad now. It creates a lot of duplicated messages.
The new implementation will avoid dowloading twice a message, using a mix of messageId and timestamp to detect duplicated messages.Version policy
I have found a misleading versions for celeste. Celeste uses a "versionString" to mark a version in every sent email. versionString labelled something like 2.currentChangeset.
As far as I started mantaining Celeste, we used a lower version (for example 1.23).
To avoid confusion I have started to renmbering all the stuff starting from revision 3.0.Anyway, the version name is the first thing you should consider. I plan to do very few releases.
