Svolta per il web nell'auto: addio ai soliti sistemi un po' arcaici
che prevedono computer fissi installati in auto e largo a un sistema
wirless che consente di rimanare connessi con i propri terminali, dai
palmari ai computer. L'idea è della Mercedes che ha battezzato questa
idea "InCar Hotspot" e che lo proporrà da subito sulle Classe E e
sulle Classe S, per poi diffonderlo via via su tutta la gamma.

Il bello di questo sistema è che è velocissimo e che è completamente
integrato nella macchina: attraverso una particolare antenna infatti,
l'InCar Hotspot scarica i dati della rete ad altissima velocità
(HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE e GSM), con una connessione istantanea. Come al
solito poi un WLAN-Router (ed una scheda SIM per il supporto dei dati)
regalano - si fa per dire perché di costi ancora non si parla... -
l'accesso wireless ad Internet.

Con questo sistema si possono connettere contemporaneamente fino a tre
periferiche WLAN ed è proprio questo il punto di forza del sistema
perché in questo modo il computer portatile che si usa in ufficio o il
palmare personale possono continuare ad essere usati anche in auto.
Qui però si apre un grande interrogativo per la sicurezza: il sistema,
a differenza di quelli fissi, non è in grado di capire se chi sta
accedendo alla rete WLAN è chi siede al volante o un passeggero. E
cosa impedirà che il pilota preso dalla frenesia non inizi a
smanettare con il suo iPhone? Mistero...

Flickr from Yahoo! Selects Snapfish by HP as Its Preferred Partner for
Global Photo Printing and Gift Fulfillment

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov 12, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- As part of
Yahoo!'s commitment to be the center of people's online
lives, Flickr, a division of Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) and one of the
world's largest photo sharing communities, today announced it is
partnering with Snapfish by HP to provide Flickr members worldwide with
a wider range of photo printing and gift creation options. As Flickr's
preferred printing partner, Snapfish will now enable Flickr members to
quickly transfer, organize, and print photos, as well as create unique
photo gifts using their existing Flickr photostream. This is the first
time that most of Flickr's international members will have an option to

more than 40 million members worldwide. Flickr and Snapfish have
developed an integrated and intuitive experience that combines
Snapfish's printing capabilities with Flickr's online photo organization
features, such as Organizr, Sets, and Photo Page. For example, from the
Flickr Organizr, members can easily select individual or batches of
photos for editing or printing through Snapfish, where they can produce
a variety of photo products using their personal Flickr images.
In addition to enhanced printing capabilities and photo gifts,
Flickr's
collaboration with Snapfish will give members more flexibility in
shipping photos. Not only can members print photos from anywhere in the
world, but they can also ship photos to anywhere in the world.
Additionally, members in the U.S. have the option to pick up their
prints locally at any of Snapfish's retail partners' stores, including
Walmart, Walgreens, Staples, Duane Reade, and others.For more

Da Repubblica Mobile:

ROMA - Ha iniziato al college, suonando ai campanelli delle case.
"Volevo portare fuori la gente ad occuparsi del proprio mondo: il
quartiere, la città, il pianeta". Vent'anni fa non c'era mica l'email,
"adesso il social network è il più potente mezzo di partecipazione
pubblica". Trevor Fitzgibbon è stato tra gli attivisti più importanti
di MoveOn. org, movimento da più di cinque milioni di iscritti che ha
contribuito "dal basso" a far salire Barack Obama alla Casa Bianca...

Qual è lo stato di salute dei media internazionali?
"Quelli tradizionali sono morti, a meno che non si alleino con i
nuovi. Adesso abbiamo blog, Facebook, MySpace, Huffington Post, una
ricchezza di modi per parlare in modo indipendente dai governi, dalle
aziende, dalle Borse. I social network sono un'arma potente per
l'informazione e l'educazione, sono uno strumento civico. Fanno il
lavoro del reporter classico, ma in modo più divertente. La stampa ha
bisogno di tattiche sexy per continuare il suo fondamentale lavoro di
comunicazione. MoveOn. org si è battuta per eleggere candidati
progressisti e ha mobilitato quasi un milione di volontari per Obama,
raccogliendo con un fundraising online di 58 milioni di dollari.
Ha dato voce a chi non ne aveva, ha fatto scendere in campo anche
coloro che si erano disaffezionati alla politica, ha coinvolto i
giovani. Ci è data dalle tecnologie e dalle circostanze storiche una
grande chance di cambiare".
