Flavoured searches! Google ha aggiunto una personalizzazione del loro bottone di ricerca per siti, che ti puoi configurare per specifiche aree di interesse.... Non so quanto sia valida (chi li conosce i loro algoritmi???) pero' dato che sono un esploratore di software, l'ho messa sulla home page del mio blog... 10:38:57 AM    comment [] Crociere Non so se sopravviverei a una settimana di crociera (noia?) ma l'idea mi attrae, e qui in Irlanda adesso c'e un concorso per vincere un viaggio... The Queen Mary 2, the World's Largest Floating IT Shop. In this long article, CIO Magazine looks at how IT supports the Queen Mary 2, the most technologically advanced vessel on the ocean. The magazine describes the challenges and the technical aspects of the design and the implementation of IT onboard. But it also makes a good weekend reading. Imagine a day on this floating city. "A guest embarking on the Queen Mary 2 -- the world's newest, biggest and most expensive ocean liner -- pulls out her smart card and hands it to a smiling security officer in a crisp, white uniform, who scans her through. After settling into her cabin, she flicks on the digital interactive TV and fires off a couple of e-mails. A few clicks away she browses the evening's dinner menu, then orders a bottle of pinot noir, which will be on her table when she arrives at the restaurant. Following some after-dinner entertainment in the theater, she heads back to her cabin, pipes in some Mozart from the TV system's vast music library, orders room service for breakfast and falls asleep."
