This is my signature appeared as an editorial comment on the front page of the weekly L'Eco di Milano Province and on the political crisis of Mediglia
Cesare Mannucci *
Mediglia - A measure of responsibility all of the city council, a majority (even if you can call it) and the opposition. The approval of the budget that is 2010, then everyone free to go their own way, waiting for the vote in local elections in the spring of 2011. E 'is the only place that should make the critical medigliese council meeting, after the sensational and bombastic politico-administrative crisis that hit the center-right coalition "Mediglia Freedom" which, with Mayor Carla Andena, governs the town for almost nine years. The appeal is the sense of responsibility of the various political forces medigliesi, in view of the fact that you can not go to vote in the next 28 to March 29 coincide with regional elections. Any solution will be given to the political crisis (commissioner of the municipality or turnaround came with the program) the 12 000 voters can not and must pay the consequences of the intrigues of the palace. Two financial years combined in some way by third parties, it would put at risk the delivery of basic services, such as school transport, school meals, the lines of delicate personal services, to make matters worse the 34% increase of waste tax inflicted upon us in June. * former mayor of Mediglia
back from shopping this morning (which I was baby-sitting and working at home), my wife took me to an anonymous envelope ...
Once opened, I found within this Albone (do not say this because there are also I have a history of four pages, but it is really big!) of EF Editions . The title is
For the uninitiated, Henry Teodorani has become a cult figure of the Italian underground comics. Its publishing company mainly specializes in adult comic book author.
I know what you're wondering.
If this page does stuff, because you are too?
What can I say? has had a hole of 4 pages to fill!
However, if you have desire and time, buy it: the authors are many. There are also good and promising, if you exclude myself.
For once, I started with many expectations for this latest product made in Cupertino.
I was expecting a small tablet, on average performance, which could be used even if minimally, as a means of "creative" (see, for example, a sort of sketchbook laptop). In short, it was becoming a bit 'an object of desire, for myself, and probably the first "pappabile" for me as a little accustomed to the "apple"
... ... But in the end I just as yet another "viewer content," of course chosen by Apple (no flash! no wma, probably, etc.)..
I'd have so many things to say, but there are already " professionals " of Gizmodo that they did, so I'll staff a short translation for non-anglophone:
8 things do not go iPad:
The huge black frame Ok ... you do not want the screen is pressed accidentally, but ...
No multitasking ... at least for now, you can not listen to music while surfing, you can chat and send email, etc.. etc ....
Nothing webcam or camera. What is then iChat? And the picture? Shooting with machine / phone> Transfer to PC / Mac> Transfer iPad> rework> re-transfers to PC?
... The touch screen keyboard. well, it's identical to the virtual keyboard (bad) views on any operating system ... and then, the iPad is not flat on the back: how would I write on a table in the bar, for example, without the receiver? ah, what a fool! There is the optional wireless keyboard for $ 70 or more and just write on my knees!
No HDMI output, then on another screen to see those "beautiful" movies in HD pay-download, will better equip themselves before a (needless to say) Apple TV!
Name: iPad chews a bit ... who 'knows the language of Albion in English Pad is also as absorbent ...! Mad TV years ago and in fact we did a little sketch, to say "prophetic" word play on the iPod / iPad. Here!
Nothing Flash Player. I think will happen only when Apple buys Adobe, and then probably never.
adapters galore. Must buy (I stress, buy!) An adapter for virtually everything for connection to a TV, a monitor, if you want to read memory cards for your camera ... for the love of god, you'll need an adapter for connecting any USB memory stick!
.. but why stop at just 8 difettucci?
not Widescreen. Let's go back back to 4:3? after that you have all convinced of the necessity of 16:9? But thanks!
Use MicroSim . Even in the U.S., are not yet a standard ...
An "ecosystem" closed. For years we have talked about the reviled Microsoft world, because of patents, closed source, of arbitrary taxation. Even in Cupertino have passed to Unix / Linux, to show that gerous approached the world of Open Source ... Too bad that eventually OSX and derivatives are also "closed". It 's true, because this is all stuff that works (and well, either) but at a price. It 's a bit like myself begins to produce a car with you the success and why you have purchased it and then later sold, arrogate to themselves the right to choose which of your friends can climb .... :)
And the applications? A tons on the AppStore, unless a tramp's feet Mama Mela (see the case of Google Voice). In short, the netbook will not touch, will not be cool and cool, but I can install anything they want: I want to switch browsers? I can! etc. etc.
Well ... I am limited to a trivial translation, but at present, and unless disproved, are totally agree ...
appointments.
Seriously, if someone explains to me why HP Slate (submitted a month ago) = Poo and instead iTamp ... er, iPad = 9 th wonder of the world, I am just pleased ...
& # 160;
...
... No, seriously.
not really want to know. It was a
rhetorical question.
But if I wrote some technical blunder, I invite any serious fanboy to correct me.
NEWS:
What's more, even the "technical" have their say on CNET ...
Mediglia - reversal failure, even the opposition center-left attack the "coup". New episode in the political-administrative 's now ex-majority coalition of center-right "Freedom Mediglia" exploded two weeks ago with the effort of all members of the Executive Mayor Carla Andena and a piece of the council to drop the first city to go early to vote in the next 28 and 29 March. After the dismissal of all his former commissioners by the mayor last Friday is now the turn of the council of the Civic Party, "The Phoenix Mediglia" to give him the cross to the members of Communion and Liberation Alliance and author of non-confidence all'Andena. "Failed coup medigliese" - write in their blog Pierangelo Avanzi, Francesco Moscato, and Tanino Carenzi Slavatore Cuomo - record the nodes of this gory former majority are coming home to roost they know that there is more time and excuses, and that Mediglia citizens are no longer willing to be fooled by Faulty sorcerer's apprentices provided the policy. " It does not permit discounts "La Fenice" pointing the finger at the "coup" that would leave a legacy to the next city administration three big problems not easily solved, as the delicate question of Gasifier Bustighera of the difficult financial situation of the municipality and its budget and the plan of government land pending approval. "The project of gassficatore probably will not be approved by the Region and the Province - are still the four city councilors - but the fact remains that the spa Mediglia Ecological Services has already opened the yard instead for the construction of the composting plant, where a burden series of actions in different forums. With the settlement agreement of July 2009, the junta has confiscated large numbers in anticipation of Manlio Cerroni account (the chairman of the consortium that controls the Latium Malagrotta Mse.spa ed) and was tied hands and feet to this controversial businessman. That money must be repaid with interest, as the same Cerroni has severely threatened. " And this situation, according to La Fenice would jeopardize the holding of the municipal budget with the risk of sending the town into financial difficulties. But TMP is also under fire from the opposition. "The proposal we have read in common is a real shame - the directors conclude -. E 'a document that leaves us with no strategic vision to promote the area."
With this new post I take this opportunity to send all bloggers my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy new year and bubbly. At the same time I wanted to inform you that I will return in 2010 Genniaio post comments regularly, also using the social network that I have made ahead of time. See you next year on your tips and pungent "Prospects Advanced.
The full review, as mentioned above, can be found on Geekerie.it , but since the topic has generated interest and especially for the lazy, recover my comments here (still valid) on W7 Starter .
1) "You can not change the desktop background" False. Or rather, it is true that W7S does not do it by default. Given that I find the background selected as "unique" simple and pleasant, I realize the inconvenience that may cause this limitation. And of course it should also be noticed Asus at home, as directly from their website you can download the utility System Settings that does just that. For the truth is nothing but a version of "branded" by Oceanis Change Background . This program really does not set a new wallpaper, but it creates a kind of active content on your desktop. We can also decide to make a slideshow of images. The other alternatives that are all the rage and you find online are Starter Background Changer, which interacts with Windows Explorer allows you to change the wallpaper, thanks in the "Personalize" from the context menu that appears and Starter Wallpaper Changer (perhaps easier). All these solutions are completely free and legal. 2) You can only use the 'interface "Windows Basic", so there is no Aero. True. In order to use the Aero interface need to have at least one license Home Premium Windows 7, sold separately at a cost of 70 €. Personally, having seen her in action on other netbooks, I found it a bit less' reactive, but fully usable. But here it becomes a matter of needs. 3) You can not disconnect the user change True. It's never been a function of which I used extensively, and I also think that the netbook has a 99% mainly one user. But it is a silly limitation. To be honest I have not tried to see what happens or if you can create different users. In case I will update this post. 4) You can connect multiple monitors True. But we also try to be rational and pragmatic: there is a real need for multi-monitor in a device with a maximum resolution of 1024 × 600? 5) It does not work and even Virtual PC XP Mode True. Almost: it does not work the latest release of Virtual PC. Mode for XP, however, nothing. Work, but Virtual PC 2007 for Microsoft to stay at home, or Sun Virtualbox . In short, the alternatives (free or paid) are not lacking. 6) There is no Windows Media Center and you can not create Groups Home True. But I would have felt more like a failure if we were talking about a EeeBox ... Specifically, raise your hand if you use your netbook as a media server. Anyway, even In that case, there are many freeware alternatives (one among many, Mediaportal ), simply turn to Google San . As for the Home Groups, you can create locally, but you can access to those created on other machines with versions that allow for the creation. In each case depends very much on the network you created. 7) You can not play DVD Video False. It 's more correct to say that: "The version of Windows Media Player is not contained in W7S can play DVD" . Thankfully, the network media player is full of (mostly free) can do it. Personally, I relied on the excellent VLC , with satisfaction that I use at home or in office.
Since its release I think (at least currently) is the best netbook on the market in terms of money.
For those who want to give up something in terms of finishes, also the model 1001HA (essentially the same, only finished less valuable and, I believe, still with XP) is not bad. However
.
As you know those who follow the blog, is the third netbook I buy the house of Taiwan and once again I must say with great satisfaction. And for the third time, my preference has fallen on the white, (this time polished: the fingerprints are wasted), but for emotional reasons.
Interesting choice of using the lid of the laptop is no longer the brand but the Brand Asus "Eee" , has become synonymous with this product category.
The new form-factor 10 "finally makes it accessible to 100%, the screen (the resolution is like that of the previous Eee PC 900 of 1024x600 pixels) as the keyboard, losing something in terms of weight (1.2 kg against the previous 900 grams) but still ... "more portable than a laptop."
In essence, a fairly standard Netbook characteristics, for the moment (property taxes still on the market right from Asus):
Display 10.1 "LED-backlit matte (res. 1024x600)
Intel ® Atom ™ N270
Memory 1GB DDR2
Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n
HDD SATA II 250GB 2.5 "
Webcam 0.3M Pixel
stereo speakers and microphone integrated digital
1 x VGA port (monitor external)
3 x USB 2.0
1 x LAN RJ-45
2 x audio jacks (headphone and microphone)
Card Reader: MMC / SD (SDHC)
Lithium Ion battery 3 cells, up to 4 / 5 hours (Actual battery life depends on the model, usage patterns and configurations. For more information visit a) Size 262mm x 178mm
x 25.9mm ~ 36.5mm Weight 1.27 Kg
Unlike the original proposal, the battery is changed from 6 cells at 3, 1005HA now also comes with Windows 7 Starter, why for which the capacity limit of 160GB-valid for the licensing of Windows XP Home goes to 250GB. And just
