    Geocities will die

    Bupmed from ArchiveTeam, we have a shocked news:

    Geocities was a once very popular web hosting service founded in 1994 and purchased by Yahoo in 1999. On April 2009, Yahoo announced they would be closing Geocities "later this year". Apparently, Yahoo will offer a means to export user data sometime this summer.
    The news is also reported by TechCrunch:
    Not with a bang, but with a whimper. Yahoo! is unceremoniously closing GeoCities, one of the original web-hosting services acquired by Yahoo! in 1999 for $2.87 billion.[...]

    GeoCities’ traffic has been falling over the past year. According to ComScore, GeoCities unique visitors in the U.S. fell 24 percent in March to 11.5 million unique visitors from 15.1 million in March of 2008. Back in October, 2006, it had 18.9 million uniques.[…]

    The best netbook-friendly Linux distros
    Hands-on We loved the Xandros based OS the Asus put on the original Eee PC for its simplicity and direct access to applications. Likewise Acer's version of Linpus, installed on the Linux versions of its Aspire One netbook. For 90 per cent of the tasks anyone's likely to perform on a netbook, they're spot on and allow the machines to boot up in under 20 seconds.

    Evolving concurrency, like memory management did

    As processors become faster and multiprocessor systems become cheaper, the need to take advantage of multithreading in order to achieve full hardware resource utilization only increases the importance of being able to incorporate concurrency in a wide variety of application categories.

    In this article we are evaluting a new approach to the concurrency. In the last five years computers are becoming even more parallel. Intel is pushing multi-core achiteture also on commodity personal computers. Neverless the computing power is ofter not well used: one again, hardware is a step head of our day-by-day software development. Remember when the 80286 came into light. The 286 was able to provide a multi-programming architecture but without memory management protection. We had to wait 386 hardware to see software working on preemptive multi-tasking, because software cannot cope with unprotected memory. In one word, it costs too much to develop a operating system without the new features the 80386 bring to us. What about concurrent programming? Can we look similarities in the  concurrency field?

    WolframAlpha A new type of search engine

    Hi World. I didn’t lost a bit of  grip on edge news, altrought now I am married!

    In the first days of May we read about a new serach engine, called WolframAlpha.

    The idea behind WolframAlpha are interesting, so we will take a close look to it.

    Slashdot is following the engine very tightly (“Wolfram Alpha Launches Tonight, On Camera”, published  on May 16) ans so will do Gioorgi.com.

    Terminated: Il declino di Schwarzenegger
    Col voto di martedì i cittadini della West Coast hanno respinto ad ampia maggioranza gli interventi fiscali (un’addizionale dell’1% sull’imposta di consumo, un aumento della tassa di circolazione e un incremento dello 0,25% dell’Irpef californiana) coi quali il governatore e il Parlamento dello Stato avevano deciso di colmare un deficit di bilancio di ben 21 miliardi di dollari. L'unica «proposition» approvata è quella che vieta ogni aumento retributivo per parlamentari e pubblici amministratori quando il bilancio è in passivo (ieri sono stati ridotti del 18% gli stipendi dei funzionari dello Stato con cariche elettive).

    Scoperta truffa a Telecom Italia

    Frode informatica per 50 milioni

    Operazione «sim e Napule». Arrestati esponenti clan Contini. Ricaricate illegalmente circa 35mila schede

    da Scoperta truffa a Telecom ItaliaFrode informatica per 50 milioni Corriere della Sera .

    Questa notizia è stata riportata anche da Audiocast:

    [la truffa è stata organizzata da] organizzazioni camorristiche che, tramite l'utilizzo del personale addetto alle pulizie nella sede di Napoli, riuscivano ad entrare nei computers del call center ed a ricaricare abusivamente decine di migliaia di SIM che poi venivano utilizzate per chiamate ai numeri ad alta tariffazione (899 e simili), riconducibili alla malavita organizzata, che così ha intascato ben 50 milioni di euro in un paio d'anni. Quello che sorprende è come sia possibile che una truffa del genere, posta in atto in modo così banale non sia stata scoperta immediatamente: come è possibile che una società che opera in un settore altamente tecnologico non sia in grado di verificare immediatamente ed automaticamente che non c'è corrispondenza tra quello che viene pagato dagli utenti e quello che viene ricaricato sulle schede SIM?
    Questo fatto è grave sia per l'entità della truffa (50 milioni di euro, che in tempo di recessione sono comunque una cifra di tutto rispetto) sia per la banalità con cui è stata attuata. Come è stato possibile? La risposta a nostro avviso è semplice: Telecom Italia ha ricavi per più di 7000 milioni di euro, per cui questa truffa ha le dimensioni di "qualche spicciolo", e quindi non è stata nemmeno notata.

    Però sorgono dubbi su come venga gestita un’azienda che perde introiti di queste dimensioni…

    The destiny of MySQL?

    Slashdot underlines there are too much forks of MySQL on the way.

    After leaving MySQL, Michael “Monty” Widenius started its own code fork, backed up with a company.

    The nerds think the destiny of MySQL is unclear, but it is still too early to get a clear vision.

    Oracle to Acquire Sun: death or rebirth?

    We suggested this idea  at the beginning of 2008, as a Joke. Now it is true:

    Sun and Oracle today announced a definitive agreement for Oracle to acquire Sun for $9.50 per share in cash. The Sun Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction. It is anticipated to close this summer.
    Oracle and IBM are face to face.  It is hard to say what this could means.

    Siamo lieti di dare risalto alla seguente iniziativa, chiamata All4Web, che si terrà l'8 maggio prossimo venturo:

    All4web nasce dalla collaborazione di alcune community e user group del panorama italiano del web. Le community e gli user group sono i luoghi dove persone, con una passione e competenze sopra la media, si confrontano e trattano i più disparati argomenti in ambito IT e Design rendendo questi spazi, seppur virtuali, unici nel loro genere. Partendo da questa consapevolezza l'iniziativa vuole essere un momento dove raccogliere nello stesso luogo realtà diverse per trattare argomenti trasversali, multi disciplinari senza per questo precludersi la possibilità di affrontare argomenti specifici delle singole realtà. [...]

    La partecipazione a all4web è gratuita. L’evento è realizzato in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Informatica dell’Università di Milano Bicocca che ospita la manifestazione.

    Java JDBC Probe

    Tired of prepared statement written down on the code?

    Tired of Hibernate, and willing to come back to crude SQL debugging?

    No problem, dudes!

    We tried Elvyx, a  JDBC probe, without a full success. Our quality vote is 5, because of the following bad aspects:

    • Very poor documentation. It is unclear if timings are returned in milliseconds or in seconds: no word about it!
    • Returned value are often inconsistent, so we cannot use it very well.
    Anyway, for a "quality oriented" sampling of data, for finding out most used calls and so on, Elvyx can help a bit.
