Italian manufacturing conditions deteriorated

MARKET SENSITIVE INFORMATION
EMBARGOED UNTIL: 08:45 (UK Time), 01 July 2009

Markit/ADACI Italy Manufacturing PMI
Italian manufacturing conditions deteriorated at weaker pace in June

Key points:

Output and new business down, but at slower rates.
Job cuts accelerated since May.
Average costs fell at weakest pace in eight months of deflation.

I guess this is very similar to the journalist condition in today’s Europe market

The last Tonight’s show with Jay Leno

I just watched a video on YouTube about the last ‘Tonight Show with Jay Leno’. This ended yesterday after 17 years.
I remember the first time I saw that show, I thought “the Americans must be truly crazy”. Although I do still think sometime this way, after watching it I got what’s the fun part in it. Moreover I had fun while I was learning my English when I was just about to end my diploma (before being 18 years old).

Scirus the search engine for scientific research

Via my stumbleupon bar in Firefox I just noticed Scirus, a scientific search engine. It seems fantastic. After my discovery of Wolframalpha.com yesterday, now it seems to me that there’s something else beside Google in the world of search engine.

Welcome WolframAlpha.com THE NEW SEARCH ENGINE… Google better watch out

I’ve just stumbled upon a news about this new, very new in all sorts of respects search engine. It’s www.wolframalpha.com
The article I red said that it won’t challenge Google cos it’s a totally different projects. This sort of thinking mades me remember of the times when very few people knew about Google. I remember those days in the internet there were just directories and the huge one was Yahoo!
Moreover I do remember people saying Google guys had no chance in beating Yahoo, Netscape and many others.
Well… we know how the story went now. Google guys have scratched everybody and everything on their path.
Just as I don’t like this googling everything (email, web, docs, pics, videos, etc) I just wish the WolframAlpha.com guys a very good luck and for what I’ve seen now, you’ve done a terrific job. Congratulations!

U.F.O. over Tokyo

Just woke up this morning and after reading the Italian Zeus News newsletter I just found out this strange object apparently flying over Tokyo, seems like a huge breast, or some U.F.O. (Unidentified Flying Object).

The bad side of Facebook exporter for iPhoto ‘09

i just noticed that Facebook exporter for iPhoto ‘09 doesn’t let me save the photos onto Facebook once I deleted them on my hard disk. Is this fair and reasonable? I mean I can’t let my photo on my HD forever.

This is what happened. Yesterday I made a dvd copy of my recent photos and afterwards I deleted them from my HD. Today I notice that they are deleted from my Facebook account too. I don’t think this is normal.

Maybe I better be back to the old iPhoto ‘08 with Facebook and Flickr plugin.

A family living in the bus

This is a post I wanted to write long time ago. Almost a year ago I guess. Anyway it’s about a family living on a bus. When I hear it I thought this is quite strange. Then I realised it was just another way of living.

Today I visited their website www.usonthebus.com, so I know now that they’ve ended their experience cos “The needs of the family have changed since the concept of the idea some two years ago and the somewhat later than planned departure. We are currently finding a base in Oxford“

fantastic service for sharing large files

Thanks to a contact with an AlJazeera journalist I discovered Yousendit.com
Maybe some of you already know about it. But I did not and I found it very useful for sharing large files like videos and big photos.
