This time, after several had second thoughts in his career, it seems that the decision to retire is final. The thousandth goal marked the 21 May 2007 in the "Vasco da Gama vs. Sport Recife" to 3 'of the second half on a penalty kick, just the same way that Pele scored his thousandth network. The funny thing was that the game was stopped for 15 minutes to allow time to get down to the family of Romario from the stands to hug him!

Sweet dreams! The true story of

The man most envied by Homer Simpson now has a name: Yde Van Deutekom, 22 years Zoetermeer (Netherlands). And a site. If you remember the episode in which the typical American family man second Matt Groening had devised a way to work from home, you understand immediately why; This Dutch boy, in fact, has succeeded (and with great results!) to earn from the comfort of lying in his bed covered with sponsors throughout the day! Not only that: he also said that does not get up until you become rich and therefore does not intend to change their lives for the moment, comforted, and above all, by the thousands of hits and earned the figures remain motionless. He gets up only to take a shower, go to the bathroom and prepare something to eat. After 21 days he won € 5000. In his site are constantly updating the hours spent in bed yet and the money earned ($ 15,952.80): Seeing is believing.



Here's the video presentation of the site Yde, taken from YouTube. (Video length: 57s)

Nami And Nico Robin Modeling



In the new operating system, various software-house, including the developers of open-source world, have introduced a new common: Widgets. In short, however, know the true history of these mini applications as useful as easy to use. The idea, in fact, was born in 1998 from the mind of a certain Arlo Rose, who, inspired by skin apply to MP3 players, decided to create an interface for any other information to be displayed on the desktop. Based on the name of a program of skins for the interface of the Mac OS called Kaleidoscope , he coined the term Konfabulator and proposed his idea to other developers, for four long years, no one supported him until such a Perry Clarke decided to work with him interested in the project. On 10 February 2003, the two launched their first shareware version of Konfabulator for Mac OS X 10.2 at a price of $ 24.95, a program that manages the various "sub" called, precisely, Widgets . I remember that I downloaded the trial version and I was impressed both for aesthetics and for the usefulness. Twenty-one months later came the Windows version and 25 July 2005 the application was sold to Yahoo and became freeware. Meanwhile, on April 29 of that year, was to sell the Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, which was the first operating system that included a review of its successful application Konfabulator, Dashboard christened (in an image ).


Later versions were also released for GNOME ( gDesklets ) and Gadgets for Windows Vista in 2007, named so that no one could say that they were copied from the Mac (and who could ever say such a thing! ?). Too bad that no developer in the areas of Redmond knew Vista that in fact called the Apple Widgets, during the beta of Tiger, "gadgets" and reported only the final version of the fateful and final name of "Widgets"!


The diatribe

With the advent of Mac OS X Tiger came to form two strands of thought: one called the Dashboard a blatant copy of Konfabulator, the other hand, turned the omelette on to explain that, in fact, the basic idea was already in the first Apple Macintosh Operating Systems, 1984, in which there was a "collection" of desk accessories ( Desk Accessories, for the note) which included features such as a calculator and clock. Well, in an article about the OS Tiger, John Siracusa (round and round are always of Italian origin!) Had clearly demonstrated that the creators of Konfabulator was not in possession of any patent, and Apple's Widgets also showed substantial differences , the first of the programming language (XML and JavaScript to Konfabulator, HTML and CSS with JavaScript for Dashboard) that allowed the application for the Mac to communicate well with the Safari browser. When you say "put an end" ...



Here's what the dashboard in its latest evolution. (Video length: 1m 41s)

Netvibes Widgets

the post as the first intervention of my blog if it fully deserves, indeed, I would say that the desire to tell as many people as possible to my new web-discovery, has meant that I could open a blog! The site in question ( Netvibes ) is based on an idea as simple as, in my opinion, winning (like all the best inventions, for that matter!) Tariq Krim, a French engineer of Algerian origin: sign up for free, you can create a homepage where you can enter all your different content depending on your preferences. For example, you can check your e-mail, favorite sites, news, watch videos from youtube, etc ... displayed like so many widgets in one or more cards on our website. What do you earn? Simple! Access to all their business from virtually one page without having to visit every day all the sites that interest them, no advertising or pop-up variety, and ordered the original navigation, but most is not the author of the website to decide what to read / watch / click but always and only the user to choose what to see. Here is the new frontier of web surfers and to give importance to their needs, without being forced to read more advertising and to go where others have decided!


For those interested, there is a ' interview on Repubblica.it Tariq (now we're pals).
