Ballmer usa un MacBook Pro per il lancio di Windows 7

MacBook Pro lancio Windows 7

Probabilmente Ballmer non c’entra nulla, ma chi è sotto di lui di certo non gli rema a favore. Durante il lancio di Windows 7, infatti, il CEO di Microsoft è intervenuto durante il The Today Show della NBC per mostrare il nuovo sistema operativo. Peccato che alle sue spalle c’era un bel MacBook Pro, il computer della concorrenza.

In fondo si sa, il computer in cui Windows funziona meglio è un Mac.

I Just Made Love: Web Users Plot their Love-Making on a Map

ijustmadeloveWould you post your love-making locations on the web? Thousands of people are happy to, it seems, on a quirky site called I Just Made Love.


It’s a simple idea: right click on a Google Map to post the location of your passionate moments, select “Indoor” or “Outdoor” and choose from one of 5 positions, as illustrated by the site’s innocuous cartoon figures. (We’re intrigued by why the figures are blue and pink – does this imply only straight couples can add markers?)


Whatever you might think – and we happen to find it pretty funny – the idea is sure to be shared around the web thanks to its mildly saucy spin and wonderful simplicity.


Would you post a marker on I Just Made Love? Let us know in the comments.

End of an Era: GeoCities to Close This Month

geocitiesWe’ve known this was coming for a while (some of you shared your GeoCities memories back in April), but Yahoo today sent out a final closure notice with the date of GeoCities’ demise: October 26.

Back in the proverbial day, GeoCities was the place where many a modern-day internet nerd cut his or her teeth. After a spectacular dot com purchase of $3.65 billion and an equally spectacular dot com bust, its closure marks the end of one of the earliest ages of the social web.

Yahoo, of course, has been busy slimming down and cutting costs under CEO Carol Bartz. With the company’s focus elsewhere, it makes sense to shut down what is essentially an internet relic. Still, to those who look back with nostalgia, October 26 could well be a wistful day. Check out the full farewell letter below, and let us know if you have any memories from the heady GeoCities days to share in the comments!
