         <title>iomeneandrei: Dropbox is to Ubuntu as eucalyptus is to koalas</title>

&lt;p&gt;As many of you Linux zealots are well aware, Ubuntu 9.10 got released two weeks ago and offers some snazzy improvements over 9.04. While it’s true that 9.10 bundled in a certain syncing app with its release, we just wanted to take this chance to remind y’all that Dropbox works awesomely with 9.10 (…and Windows …and Mac ;D) without any hitches!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Karmic repository is up and running and ready to add to your apt sources:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;code&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;deb http://linux.getdropbox.com/ubuntu karmic main&lt;br&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Qualche consiglio per chi cerca lavoro</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/BEz35JOqIpk/qualche-consiglio-per-chi-cerca-lavoro</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scenario: Stai cercando lavoro. Sei laureato, diplomato oppure hai completato con successo il ciclo della scuola dell’obbligo. Il settore è la comunicazione, la programmazione, la sistemistica, la sicurezza informatica, il management, la ricerca e sviluppo, qualsiasi altra cosa.&lt;br&gt;
Vieni contattato per un colloquio di lavoro in un’altra città e forse è richiesto il trasferimento.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Questi sono i principi con i quali affrontare il colloquio di lavoro. Non è detto che siano i migliori ma sono quelli che io consiglio ai miei amici più stretti e adesso li condivido con voi:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Le bugie non pagano&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quindi evita di mentire ai colloqui di lavoro. Sii sincero. Valorizzati senza inventare frottole. Tanto prima o poi qualcuno se ne accorge e finisce male. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Io Tarzan tu Jane&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ricordati sempre chi sei tu e chi sono loro. “Azienda Leader di Settore” non vuole dire niente. Non esiste il prestigio di lavorare in un’azienda. Esiste la soddisfazione di fare bene il proprio lavoro e di essere trattati bene da un’azienda seria e corretta. Non farti imbambolare dalla possibilità di scrivere un nome sul tuo CV. Non è parte del valore in negoziazione.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Molto spesso le aziende esordiscono con “noi paghiamo poco, però…”. Ecco in questo caso mandali al diavolo. Non esiste nessun però. Questo tipo di aziende chiedono il massimo ai propri dipendenti (si vabè collaboratori, partner, affiliati, capitale umano, chiamatelicomevoletemasempredipendentisono) ma poi non sono disposte a negoziare sulla retribuzione.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La negoziazione è molto importante. Se un’azienda non vuole negoziare allora sceglie un bel contratto nazionale e fine. Se non lo fa deve essere disposta a discutere un contratto atipico e questo avviene solo su due variabili.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Le uniche due variabili negoziabili&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ci sono solo due variabili in gioco in una trattativa di lavoro: l’impegno del candidato e la retribuzione. Tutto il resto non è parte della trattativa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quindi al candidato è richiesto di conoscere che cifra vuole ricevere e all’azienda è richiesto di indicare il tipo di impegno che ci si attende. Non fatevi prendere in giro con benefit strani, meravigliose possibilità, prestigiosi colleghi. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Solo due cose: che tipo di lavoro, quanti soldi per farlo. Fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;La selezione è a carico dell’azienda&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La scelta del giusto candidato è a carico dell’azienda. I colloqui e le selezioni sono fatti apposta. Non è a carico del candidato l’essere idoneo alla posizione offerta e non deve essere sua premura preoccuparsi di essere combaciante con la posizione offerta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;La retribuzione la propone il candidato&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nella mia visione è il candidato a proporre la cifra per la quale è disposto a svolgere le mansioni che gli vengono richieste. So che questa è una visione apparentemente molto presuntuosa, ma non trovo alcuna ragione per la quale un’azienda che non sceglie un contratto nazionale debba avere la libertà di poter definire sia le mansioni che la retribuzione. O decide quanto vuole spendere o decide che tipo di impegno ha bisogno di ricevere. Se decide entrambe le cose non è una negoziazione e il lavoro non è interessante.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Esiste solo un motivo per essere rifiutati&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;L’unico motivo valido per non essere assunti è non aver superato il colloquio. E’ un motivo lecito e dignitoso. Non si è adatti per la posizione che l’azienda sta cercando. Non ci sono altri motivi validi.&lt;br&gt;
Non esiste essere scartati perché si chiedono troppi soldi. Partendo dal fatto che la cifra che il candidato chiede sia ragionevole e commisurata all’impegno che gli viene richiesto, se l’azienda non è disposta a pagarla allora è quest’ultima a non avere le risorse adeguate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Mostrare moneta, vedere cammello&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Non fate gli stage. Non fate gli stage. Ripeto: non fate gli stage. Piuttosto lavorate gratis per un ente di volontariato, ma non fate gli stage non retribuiti. E’ ora che le aziende la smettano di prendere lavoro dalle persone senza pagarlo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Dividiamo? ok intestami la casa&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Se vi propongono di iniziare un progetto e poi di dividerne i guadagni, quando arriveranno, chiedete al vostro interlocutore di intestarvi la sua casa. Quando la smetterà di dimenarsi voi avrete già lasciato l’edificio e vi sentirete sicuramente meglio.&lt;br&gt;
A parte gli scherzi. Studiate le basi di gestione aziendale. O partecipate al rischio di impresa o no. Se partecipate al rischio di impresa allora vi devono intestare (preventivamente) quote della società e avrete diritto (residuale) agli utili. Altrimenti non partecipate al rischio e vi viene pagato il lavoro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;il 90% di zero è zero&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Molto spesso il meccanismo è questo: non viene costituita una società, si inizia a lavorare su un progetto e poi ad un certo punto si prende (non si assume) gente a lavorarci con la promessa che prima o poi verrà diviso il lauto bottino che scaturirà dal lavoro finito. Ma ricordate che se non c’è società non c’è capitale e se non c’è capitale non c’è niente da dividere. Quindi non abbiate paura della legge e del fisco, abbiate paura dei soci poco seri e delle avventure sciagurate.&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Freeware Integrates Windows Live SkyDrive with Windows Explorer</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/hGY0j8pSD-0/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="skydrive-explorer" src="http://jkontherun.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/skydrive-explorer.jpg?w=477&amp;amp;h=387" alt="skydrive-explorer" width="477" height="387"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With all of my looks at web-based storage, I overlook Microsoft’s SkyDrive every now and again. It’s definitely worth the look due to the generous 25 GB of free storage. While you can download an ActiveX control to integrate your SkyDrive into Windows Explorer, but there’s another option pointed out by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/10/29/windows-live-skydrive-explorer/"&gt;gHacks&lt;/a&gt;: SkyDrive Explorer, which just got an updated beta version yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://skydriveexplorer.com/index.php"&gt;free download of SkyDrive Explorer&lt;/a&gt; adds some features that the ActiveX control currently doesn’t offer when using SkyDrive in a browser, namely: renaming objects, deleting groups of object and copying folders with subfolders and files from SkyDrive. And it makes it easier to take basic file or folder actions on your SkyDrive:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;View the structure and contents of folders in SkyDrive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;View files information (type, size, creation date in GMT format)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create new root folders and subfolders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy files into storage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Delete files and folders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy files from storage to the computer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy folders and subfolders from the storage to the computer keeping their structure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use Drag &amp;amp; Drop for files operations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rename files and folders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create links to SkyDrive folders on your computer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While I tend to work in a browser, there are plenty of folks that want to access files with in Windows Explorer. If you’re one of them, SkyDrive Explorer is worth the look. My installation in Windows 7 went without a hitch and the program integrated my SkyDrive in Windows Explorer as if it were a local system folder. Clicking the “local” SkyDrive does prompt you for your Windows Live credentials, but you can allow the app to remember them for quicker access. Now if I could only get my SkyDrive mounted as a drive so I could easily &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://jkontherun.com/2009/02/10/zumodrive-friendly-cloud-storage-with-benefits/"&gt;integrate cloud tunes with a local music player&lt;/a&gt;, I’d be &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; happy. Aside from Windows 7, SkyDrive Explorer works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003 / 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Good Hair</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/hEfZhG1BHFU/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe class="embeddedvideo" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A68UVn0nMvo&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Creme liscianti, piastre, bigodini. Per decenni le donne afro negli Stati Uniti hanno cercato di avere capelli più lisci, più brillanti e più lunghi. &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.goodhairmovie.net/site/default.aspx"&gt;Un documentario che vede come protagonista il comico statunitense Chris Rock&lt;/a&gt; racconta con ironia l’ossessione per i capelli nella cultura delle donne afroamericane. &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Quando mia figlia Lola, a sei anni, venne da me in lacrime chiedendomi come poteva sistemarsi i capelli, ho capito che dovevo fare un documentario e andare alla radice della cultura nera per capire chi e che cosa le avesse messo in testa questa domanda”, racconta &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.chrisrock.com/"&gt;Chris Rock&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Il documentario si chiama Good Hair, è diretto dal regista Jeff Stilson e ha vinto il premio speciale della giuria al &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://festival.sundance.org/2009/film_events/films/good_hair"&gt;Sundance film festival 2009&lt;/a&gt;. Nel film Chris Rock visita i saloni di bellezza e i parrucchieri d’America, i laboratori scientifici che creano i prodotti per i capelli e i templi indiani dove vengono raccolte le ciocche per fabbricare parrucche ed extension. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rock passa in rassegna tutta la letteratura più frequentata in tema di capelli e intervista alcune celebrità statunitensi come Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, e Reverend Al Sharpton che candidamente raccontano il loro rapporto, spesso conflittuale con il parrucchiere. Mentre Rock cerca affannosamente una risposta da dare a sua figlia. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quello che Rock scopre, alla fine, è che il mondo delle acconciature per donne afroamericane è un grosso affare e che le donne afroamericane spendono 9 miliardi all’anno per i loro capelli, tre volte di più delle donne bianche, e questo non sempre a beneficio della loro salute. Infatti gli agenti chimici utilizzati per stirare i capelli a base di sodium hydroxide o soda caustica, spesso utilizzati fin da bambine, possono portare alla lunga problemi di perdita dei capelli. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ma per le donne afroamericane non è sempre una scelta, infatti, molte di loro hanno denunciato discriminazioni sul posto di lavoro e meno possibilità di conquistare una posizione se lasciano i capelli al naturale. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La domanda della piccola Lola apre così una vecchia questione, molto più grande di quello che si potesse immaginare, all’interno della società statunitense. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Obama rompe un tabù: in guerra si muore</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/SR8kBhXiAY4/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;All’alba di giovedì, all’aeroporto militare di Dover in Delaware, Barack Obama ha accolto le salme di 18 soldati morti in Afghanistan nell’ultima settimana. Ha salutato in silenzio il passaggio delle bare e poi si è trattenuto per quasi due ore con le famiglie.&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Un tabù è stato infranto: negli Stati Uniti dal 1991, anno della prima guerra del Golfo, è vietato mostrare le immagini dei soldati morti che rientrano in patria, tanto che l’aeroporto militare di Dover era vietato ai mezzi d’informazione. Il New York Times ricorda che da febbraio il divieto non c’è più, le famiglie sono libere di scegliere se volere o no la stampa. Ieri notte, senza alcun preavviso, il presidente ha fatto il passo successivo, non solo ha permesso che il dolore fosse mostrato, ma vi ha preso parte.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Il paese s’interroga sul significato di questo gesto: a ottobre in Afghanistan sono morti 55 soldati statunitensi e Obama sta decidendo se inviare più truppe nel paese. L’Independent aggiunge anche che dovrebbe chiarire gli obiettivi della missione, ma forse non ha molta importanza perché “qualsiasi scelta farà, comunque degli uomini moriranno”. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Radio Radicale: radici della democrazia.</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/kwitA-ECasA/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.radioradicale.it/sites/www.radioradicale.it/themes/radioradicale/images/logo.png?2" alt="" width="190" height="115"&gt;Radio Radicale&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; svolge sin dal 1976 un vero e proprio servizio pubblico: &lt;strong&gt;senza alcuna pubblicità&lt;/strong&gt; trasmette non solo le sedute del Parlamento, ma altresì, senza alcuna discriminazione partitica e fedeli al principio del “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conoscere per deliberare&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;”, manda in onda, &lt;strong&gt;nella loro integralità originale&lt;/strong&gt;, congressi, conferenze, eventi di attualità istituzionale e politica.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Diversi, numerosi e trasversali sono stati gli attestati di stima nei confronti di questa radio: da Renato Brunetta a Furio Colombo, da Sergio Romano a Stefano Folli, da Angelo Panebianco ad Antonio Baldassarre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Se nella finanziaria in corso di approvazione non verrà previsto il rinnovo della concessione, si corre il reale e concreto rischio di perdere questa importante risorsa democratica.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Per questo motivo, aldilà delle opinioni politiche di cui ognuno è portatore, vi invito, se volete, a firmare questo appello al seguente link:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.radioradicale.it/perche-viva-radio-radicale"&gt;http://www.radioradicale.it/perche-viva-radio-radicale&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fra i vari attestati di stima rivolti a Radio Radicale mi piace trascrivere questo:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:left;"&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Argomenti politici non ne userò, per non fare danno. Ma se mi tolgono Radio radicale non mi restano che le benzodiazepine fra le tre di notte e le sette e trenta di mattina. Siamo in tanti ridotti così, noi del posto fisso, malati in un letto o detenuti a domicilio. Se non si vuole rendere giustizia a un eccellente servizio pubblico, si voti almeno un emendamento umanitario&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;“.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Adriano Sofri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: 5 Good Image Search Engines Apart From Google Image Search</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/UJv2MThdKqw/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="margin-right:20px;" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/TN9.png" alt="" vspace="5" align="left"&gt;When the right picture is everything, you need to go deep into the web and comb through the millions that are out there. Image search is just like normal search and similarly painstaking. Making it less so are the dedicated image search engines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Image search engines sift through the web searching by type of image, by license or by tags and keywords. There are of course, standalone photo reservoirs like Flickr, Stock.xchng, Photobucket, Morguefile et.al; but your kind of image may just be tucked away in some other obscure corner of the web. Google Image Search is powerful but it always pays to have a few more options up your browser.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is where these five image search engines come into the picture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://cyclo.ps/"&gt;Cyclo.ps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img title="Cyclops" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Cyclops.png" alt="image search engines" width="580" height="472"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Greek mythology, it’s a giant with a single eye. As a stock photography search engine, it keeps both eyes on sites like BigStockPhoto, Flickr, Fotolia, Cutcaster, StockVault, Photos.com, ShutterStock and stockx.xchng. The search interface is typically simple and you can search by selecting specific stock photo sites or all of them in one go. A horizontal menu and also a dropdown let you view results by respective site. Clicking on the thumbnail previews takes you to the source where you can see the details attached with the photo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cyclo.ps gives the user a &lt;em&gt;Lightbox&lt;/em&gt; account where he can save (by clicking the little plus icon), tag, share, and print (only the thumbnail) his selected photos. Visitors can also add comments to your shared images.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pixsy.com/"&gt;Pixsy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img title="Pixsy" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Pixsy.png" alt="image search engines" width="580" height="361"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Type in your query and you can get what you are searching for amidst millions of images and videos. This search platform delivers both. The web app looks into the RSS feed of variety of news sites and content providers like Yahoo and extracts the image previews. Clicking on the thumbnail preview takes you directly to the source. The source webpage opens in a two frame layout with a Pixsy brief on top and the source page below. You can filter the search by&lt;em&gt; content type&lt;/em&gt; (image or video), &lt;em&gt;category&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;source&lt;/em&gt; (BBC, MSNBC, Rolling Stone, Webshots, Yahoo etc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The site is very neat and uncluttered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.spffy.com/"&gt;Spffy (Beta)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img title="Spffy" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Spffy.png" alt="image search engines" width="580" height="228"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ferret out the image or video you want using Spffy’s multiple searches. Spffy checks out a cross-section of sources like stock photo sites, web sources like Flickr, public domain sites and videos from YouTube. You can tune your stock search with settings for royalty-free, rights-managed and news/archival. Web search on Flickr can also be similarly configured for relevance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.incogna.com/"&gt;Incogna&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img title="Incogna" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Incogna.png" alt="free image search engine" width="580" height="247"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Canada-based search engine company looks at the &lt;em&gt;visual shape&lt;/em&gt; rather than the meta-data. This gives rather interesting results which are distinct from the others profiled here. The image search is fast though the number of results is not plentiful. You enter a keyword and then select an image from the results to do a similarity search. A moving slider to control the number of images per page is the only preference tool to set.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.picsearch.com/"&gt;PicSearch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img title="Picsearch" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Picsearch.png" alt="free image search engine" width="580" height="404"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Picsearch indexes the web for images and is probably the best of the lot. The About Page of the site says that its unique search algorithm is due for a patent. The search engine has indexed more than 3,000,000,000 images. You can set a few preferences like an interface language.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;img title="Picsearch_2" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Picsearch_2.png" alt="free image search engine" width="580" height="352"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Advanced search options give you several image factors like color or black and white, animation or image, portrait or landscape and more importantly the ability to search by image size. You can also use normal search operators to fine-tune your search. The site also comes with a family filter to keep out you-know-those kind of images away from the mix.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two things I really liked about the site. Firstly, its speed; and secondly, the &lt;em&gt;Image Directory&lt;/em&gt; which is a vast collection of subject specific images. Oh yes, there’s a third thing to like too – it comes with a &lt;em&gt;Firefox extension&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In listing these five sites, I have tried to go beyond the omnipresent searches provided by the regulars like Google, Yahoo and Bing. When it comes to search, often a single tool does the job; but there are also times when many need to be pushed into action. Along with these five, you can check out two others we have profiled before –&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/picfindr-stock-photography-search-engine/"&gt;PicFindr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/everystockphoto/"&gt;Everystockphoto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do remember that although these search engines may give you the right image – using the image itself is subject to copyright. So do check the sources before you click on save. If unable to do so, what are search engines for…hunt out a few more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which is your image search engine of choice? Does your &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/image-search/"&gt;image search&lt;/a&gt; go beyond the biggies? Let us into the picture.&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Buon compleanno internet!</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/TZ-S2ALJUsM/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Internet ha compiuto quarant’anni. Era il 29 ottobre 1969 quando due ricercatori californiani si scambiarono un semplice messaggio – “Lo”, cioè login – tra due computer: nasceva la rete. &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quei due ricercatori si chiamavano Charley Kline e Bill Duvall e fecero la prima connessione tra l’università della California e lo Stanford research institute. All’epoca non si resero nemmeno conto dell’importanza di quello che stavano facendo. “Nessuno aveva capito come avrebbe cambiato le nostre vite”, ha ammesso Kline sul &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/oct/23/internet-40-history-arpanet"&gt;Guardian&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Era la fine dell’estate del 1969, poche settimane dopo lo sbarco sulla luna, qualche giorno dopo Woodstock e un mese prima della prima puntata dei Monty Python. Una scatola di metallo grigia fu consegnata nell’ufficio di Leonard Kleinrock, un professore dell’universtà della California. La scatola aveva le stesse dimensioni di un frigorifero, e anche lo stesso fascino, ma Kleinrock ne fu entusiasta, come un padre orgoglioso”, racconta Oliver Burkeman sul Guardian. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="width:300px;"&gt; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://informationarchitects.jp/web-trend-map-4-final-beta/"&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.internazionale.it/home/?p=8871"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.internazionale.it/home/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/3417427945_2fe33551fcjpg2-300x212.jpg" alt="Le tendenze del web secondo Information architects" title="3417427945_2fe33551fcjpg2" width="300" height="212"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;Le tendenze del web secondo Information architects&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“È difficile stabilire quando internet è nata, ma il 29 ottobre del 1969 è il giorno in cui la rete bambina ha detto la sua prima parola. Dire che il resto è storia è un cliché”, continua il giornale. Dodici anni dopo che Charley Kline aveva mandato il suo primo messaggio c’erano ancora solo 213 computer in rete, ma quattordici anni più tardi 16 milioni di persone erano online e l’email avrebbe cominciato a cambiare la vita quotidiana della gente. Il primo browser è stato lanciato nel 1993, nel 1995 è arrivato Amazon, nel 1998 Google, nel 2001 Wikipedia. Oggi sembra che siano connesse alla rete 1,7 miliardi di persone. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;È bene ricordare che il primo utilizzo della rete fu militare. Il progetto si chiamava &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET"&gt;Arpanet&lt;/a&gt; ed era stato sviluppato per condividere informazioni tra scienziati che erano in università molto distanti tra di loro negli Stati Uniti e per progettare nuove tecnologie militari, dopo che nel 1959 l’Unione Sovietica aveva lanciato il satellite Sputnik, gettando il ministero della difesa statunitense nel panico. Il presidente Eisenhower investì milioni di dollari nella ricerca scientifica e inaugurò l’Arpa, l’Agenzia per i progetti di ricerca avanzati, per vincere la competizione tecnologica con Mosca. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Senza che ce ne accorgessimo, in questi quarant’anni il web, che all’inizio sembrava una curiosità, è diventato una realtà che diamo per scontata. E tra qualche anno nessuno si ricorderà più il tempo in cui si accedeva alla rete solo tramite un ingombrante computer, quando non c’era una copertura wifi dappertutto, quando stare su internet era solo un concetto invece che un’azione che permea la vita quotidiana. E infine, anche Google sarà solo un ricordo”, conclude il giornale. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Goodbye, Beta</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/ScAmh_mrKnE/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/img/logo_nobeta.png" style="float:right;margin:0 0 12px 12px;padding:3px;" width="188" height="83" alt="Remember The Milk logo without beta"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The particularly observant among you might have noticed something missing when you logged into Remember The Milk this morning; that's right, the "Beta" in our logo is gone!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When we launched Remember The Milk four years ago, we had this quaint idea that we'd leave beta once we were "done". I'm not too sure what we thought "done" meant, but as we've been &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2009/02/an-extraordinarily-belated-happy-2009/"&gt;busy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2007/12/highlights-of-2007-as-shown-by-bob-t-monkey/"&gt;developing&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2006/12/highlights-of-2006/"&gt;stuff&lt;/a&gt; over the years it's become pretty apparent that we'll never be done — there's just too many exciting things we can develop, and too many ways we can still improve Remember The Milk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So we've decided, like the &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/gmail-leaves-beta-launches-back-to-beta.html"&gt;web app that inspired us&lt;/a&gt;, to finally leave beta; web apps don't need to be in beta anymore to continue to evolve. Goodbye, little beta label — you've served us well, but it's time we part ways.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: Ahmadinejad accetta il piano sul nucleare</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/Dt8-HNyEWRc/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Parlando alla televisione nazionale da Meshhed, città nel nordest dell’Iran, il presidente Mahmoud Ahmadinejad si è dichiarato pronto a collaborare con l’Agenzia internazionale per l’energia atomica (Aiea) sul suo programma nucleare. Ha affermato che l’Iran non rinuncerà ai suoi diritti, ma che “su carburante, impianti e tecnologia nucleare sono pronti a cooperare”. Ha sottolineato che sarà un ottima occasione per valutare l’onestà dei potenti del mondo e delle Nazioni Unite.- &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nytimes.com"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The New York Times, Stati Uniti&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ispettore delle Nazioni Unite trattenuto una notte in Zimbabwe.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Manfred Nowak, ispettore delle Nazioni Unite sulla tortura, è stato chiamato in Zimbabwe dal primo ministro Morgan Tsvangirai, ma l’invito era poi stato annullato dal ministro degli esteri, appartenente allo Zanu-PF, il partito del presidente Robert Mugabe. La decisione è stata presa in seguito al boicottaggio dei lavori dell’esecutivo da parte del partito di Tsvangirai, il Movimento per il cambiamento democratico (Mdc). Nowak ha deciso di partire comunque, ma all’aeroporto di Harare è stato fermato, gli è stato sequestrato il passaporto ed è stato trattenuto la notte per poi essere imbarcato sul primo volo per il Sudafrica. “È un gravissimo incidente diplomatico”, accusano Nowak e i membri dell’Mdc.- &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Daily Telegraph, Gran Bretagna&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Duemila bambini cinesi sottratti ai trafficanti di esseri umani.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Da aprile il ministero della sicurezza cinese ha dato il via a una campagna per fermare il traffico di esseri umani, che coinvolge principalmente minori. Da allora sono stati già recuperati duemila bambini, ha comunicato il ministero. Alcuni sono tornati a casa, ma molte famiglie non sono state ancora rintracciate. I dati personali dei bambini sono tutti conservati su un database: il ministero ha deciso di pubblicarne alcuni su internet per aumentare le possibilità di individuare i familiari. - &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.shanghaidaily.com"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shangai Daily, Cina&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;L’ultima autobomba ha causato 104 morti.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due esplosioni in un mercato hanno provocato almeno 104 morti ieri a Peshawar, nel nordovest del Pakistan. L’effetto dell’esplosione è stato aumentato da un magazzino di cotone che ha preso fuoco. Delle vittime, almeno 70 sono donne e bambini. Un ministro della provincia, Bashir Ahmed Bilour, ha chiesto di non incolpare le forze dell’ordine: sono troppo pochi per fronteggiare questi continui attacchi. Bilour ricorda poi che sono stati appena richiamati in servizio mille ex agenti e fa un appello a tutti i partiti politici e religiosi per unirsi nel rifiuto del terrorismo. - &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.dawn.com"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dawn, Pakistan&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

         <title>iomeneandrei: DeepDyve: Like iTunes for Scientific Papers</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/luCkj9pG-f0/</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/deepdyve-logo.jpg"&gt;It’s been years since I let my subscription to &lt;i&gt;Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery&lt;/i&gt; lapse. I could barely afford it and, as those Shriners soon found out, I am not actually a surgeon. However, I do enjoy pouring a glass of Old Granddad, sitting down in my favorite chair, and reading up on Snapping Scapula Syndrome or the Three-Dimensional Kinematics of the Rheumatoid Wrist After Partial Arthrodesis. It does a body – and a soul – good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to a new online market, &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.deepdyve.com/"&gt;DeepDyve&lt;/a&gt;, I’m never further than a click away from those relaxing and enlightening scientific papers. The site, launched today, offers full-text search of scientific articles along with 99 cent downloads and a subscription service that allows fans of &lt;i&gt;Clinical Chemistry&lt;/i&gt; to read as many stories as they’d like.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;img src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/DD20-Home-620x493.png"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Why is this important to me?&lt;/i&gt; you ask. &lt;i&gt;What do I look like? A rocket surgeon?&lt;/i&gt; Well, there is an untapped market for scientific research. Doctors, for example, may have access to these journals at school but they rarely can afford them in their own private practices. Scientists, amateur or professional, may want to look up something important to their work and the ill and infirm may want to look up their treatment options. Because most journals are kept offline, most readers thus far have resorted to piracy either by asking for a photocopy from a friend or downloading the journals from pirate research sites. Yes, pirate research sites exist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DeepDyve launched last year as a search company. Their specific expertise was in large string searching, allowing you to look for multiple topics in one search string. This led to work in the research space and, ultimately, the company changed into a article rental service. Articles cost 99 cents for 24 hours and an unlimited plan for $19.99 a month. A $9.99 plan allows you to access 20 articles per month for up to seven days each.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;img src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/DD20-Doc-620x629.png"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The site currently holds 30 million articles and each article is indexed and available in a free preview. You can create email and RSS alerts on specific topics and a “More Like This” feature allows you to dig deeper into a topic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company is based in Menlo Park and received $9 million in angel funding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you a big fan of research? Leave a comment and we’ll be giving away free subscriptions to DeepDyve to 10 random readers. Now back to &lt;i&gt;Spinal Injuries and the Sacral Arch&lt;/i&gt; and another snoot of whiskey.&lt;/p&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache0.techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/googlenav.jpg" alt=""&gt;If you weren’t sure about &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/09/how-i-learned-to-quit-the-iphone-and-love-google-voice/"&gt;switching to an Android phone&lt;/a&gt; in the near future, this might put you over the edge. Google Maps Navigation is an absolutely killer app. And it is only available for Android 2.0 phones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today is &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/10/27/in-case-you-forgot-tomorrow-is-droid-day/"&gt;Droid day&lt;/a&gt;, and for the most part Google is taking a backseat and letting their &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/18/verizon-droid-is-the-real-deal/"&gt;partners get most of the attention&lt;/a&gt;. But Droid is the first &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/19/android-galore-a-complete-list-of-the-android-phones-and-their-specs-droid-best/"&gt;Android phone&lt;/a&gt; to run Android 2.0, and Google Maps Navigation is clearly the early trophy app for those devices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google Maps already has 50 million active users across various mobile phones, says Google. But what users have today isn’t even close to the new Navigation product. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First off, it’s connected, which puts it ahead of all but a tiny percentage of in-car navigation systems which have no Internet connectivity (&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/dash"&gt;Dash&lt;/a&gt; is a notable exception).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The application is also completely free.&lt;/strong&gt; So all those paid navigation apps (Navigon, &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/08/17/tomtom-gps-slips-into-itunes-store-at-a-cool-99/"&gt;TomTom&lt;/a&gt;, CoPilot, MapQuest, &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/06/24/review-gokivo-flops-as-first-turn-by-turn-app-for-iphone/"&gt;GoKivo&lt;/a&gt; and Sygic Mobile) are at an immediate disadvantage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But even if Google charged for this app, it would still win hands down. The features include easy search (no need for address), voice search, traffic information (from data sources and crowd sourced from app), and street view close up pictures when you get near your destination. And the car dock mode gives bigger, simpler icons and auto-voice mode (see video):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Search in plain English.&lt;/strong&gt; No need to know the address. You can type a business name (e.g. “starbucks”) or even a kind of a business (e.g. “thai restaurant”), just like you would on Google.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Search by voice.&lt;/strong&gt; Speak your destination instead of typing (English only): “Navigate to the de Young Museum in San Francisco”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Traffic view.&lt;/strong&gt; An on-screen indicator glows green, yellow, or red based on the current traffic conditions along your route. A single touch on the indicator toggles a traffic view that shows the traffic ahead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Search along route.&lt;/strong&gt; Search for any kind of business along your route, or turn on popular layers such as gas stations, restaurants, or parking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Satellite view.&lt;/strong&gt; View your route overlaid on 3D satellite views with Google’s high-resolution aerial imagery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Street View.&lt;/strong&gt; Visualize turns overlaid on Google’s Street View imagery. Navigation automatically switches to Street View as you approach your destination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Car dock mode.&lt;/strong&gt; For certain devices, placing your phone in a car dock activates a special mode that makes it easy to use your device at arm’s length.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s Navigation in the Droid dock, followed by an image gallery for the app:&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>iccudrac: Sony pronta a scommettere sul 3D col suo prototipo</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/krz3nDtxIt4/sony-pronta-a-scommettere-sul-3d-col-suo-prototipo</link>

&lt;p&gt;Anche se si tratta ancora di un prototipo di sicuro ha destato non poco interesse questo strumento mostrato in anteprima alla Tokyo Digital Content EXP0 tenutasi pochi giorni fa in Giappone, ideato da &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gadgetblog.it/categoria/sony"&gt;Sony&lt;/a&gt;, in grado a quanto sembra di creare un’immagine tridimensionale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;L’immagine che lo strumento mostra è stereoscopica a 24 bit che misura esattamente 96×128 pixels e che presenta l’utile caratteristica di non dover necessitare per forza di appositi occhialini per poter essere apprezzata a pieno, il che apre le porte a molte possibili applicazioni della tecnologia per esempio nelle TV, nelle cornici digitali e, perchè no, nel settore videludico.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ancora sono purtroppo noti solo pochi dettagli sull’argomento, staremo a vedere cosa bollirà in futuro nel calderone delle varie aziende, certi che la lotta nel campo del 3D è appena agli inizi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;business&lt;/strong&gt;, being able to read people and quickly get a sense of who you’re dealing with is an invaluable skill. It turns your encounter with a client into an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the upcoming project and how it will need to be handled. It is one of the building blocks of a professional relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In today’s digital age, the arena has shifted to the Web, and the online office space that most freelancers inhabit limits personal interaction. Though sussing out a client’s personality via online communication is difficult, it still remains an invaluable tool in your arsenal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media2.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/header.jpg" width="500" height="200"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/524000"&gt;Salva Barbera&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the freelancing field, &lt;strong&gt;you will encounter a range of client types&lt;/strong&gt;. Being able to &lt;strong&gt;identify&lt;/strong&gt; which you are dealing with allows you to develop the &lt;strong&gt;right strategy&lt;/strong&gt; to maximize your interactions with them, and it could save your sanity. Below is a list of the most common personality types and the tell-tale signs that will tip you off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Passive-Aggressive&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media1.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/passive.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/983714"&gt;John Philip&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the client who is very passive when you ask for initial input, but when you submit the finished product, they aggressively attack it, demanding a lot of detailed changes, both major and minor. They had an idea of what they wanted all along but kept it mostly to themselves. Even though they showed appreciation of certain ideas and elements throughout the development process, do not expect the passive-aggressive client to keep any of them as they send revisions your way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Communication is mostly one-sided and unhelpful during project development.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes statements such as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“I’m not really sure what we’re looking for.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Just do something that would appeal to us generally.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“You totally missed the point of what we wanted.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patience is the key. Expecting the last-minute requests for revisions may soften the blow of the client’s aggressive behavior. Keep your original layered design intact so that you can easily refine and change it later (not that you wouldn’t, but it does happen). Also, make sure your contract specifies a limited number of revisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Family Friend&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media1.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/friend.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/422180"&gt;Celiece Aurea&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the client whom you have known for years either through personal or family interaction, and this connection has landed you the job. The relationship will be tested and perhaps marred forever by what could very well be a nightmare of a project. This family friend believes he deserves a “special” price and unbridled access to your work. They will sometimes unwittingly belittle your work or not take it seriously because of their personal connection to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;These clients are easy to identify because… well, you know them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes such statements as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Could you just throw something together for me?”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“I don’t want you to think that just because I know you I want you to cut me a deal.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“You’re going to charge me what?! But we go way back!”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The way to deal with this client depends on how well you know them and how much you value your relationship with them. But remember that anyone who would take advantage of such a relationship is not truly a friend, so respond accordingly. An honest approach could end up saving the relationship. But start off with a professional, not personal, tone, and they may follow your lead. Of course, if you truly value the relationship, you may want to pass on the job altogether.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Under-Valuer&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media2.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/undervalue.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/514164"&gt;Maxime Perron Caissy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like the family friend described above, this client will devalue your creative contributions. But there is a difference: you do not actually know this person. There is no rationale for their behavior. They feel they should get a “friend’s” pricing rate not because they want to be friends with you, but because they do not see your work as being worth that much… even if they couldn’t do it themselves. Not coming from a creative background or even having had exposure to the arts can mar someone’s appreciation of the work that you do. After years in our field, we make it look easy, and that is what the under-valuer sees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Does not respond to questions in a timely fashion.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes such statements as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“It’s not like it takes much effort on your part.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Couldn’t you just throw something together for me?”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“How hard can this really be?”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Confidence is key here. You know what your work demands and how well you do your job. The under-valuer will recognize this confidence. Don’t back down or concede a point to the client when discussing your role in the project. Standing firm will establish the professional and respectful tone you deserve. If the client does not respond in kind, cut your losses and decline their project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Nit-Picker&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media2.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/nitpicker.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/418215"&gt;Bob Smith&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This client is never fully satisfied with the work you do and will constantly pick on minor details here and there that they dislike and want changed. Do not be surprised if they ask you to change these same details over and over ad nauseam. It is not a sign of disrespect (as it is with the other clients), but simply the nature of the person. They may have been burned in some other project and are now unsatisfied with everything in their path, including your work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complains almost consistently about unrelated things.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Personal outlook comes with a scathing bite.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes such statements as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“How hard is it to [fill in the blank with any rant]?”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“I’m really not sure about this element here. It just doesn’t pop!”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“I don’t think you are really getting it.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again, patience is important (especially if you have some sadistic reason for taking on nit-picking clients). Try to detach yourself from the project as much as possible, so that the constant nit-pickery does not affect you personally. It is easy to feel hurt or get defensive when your work is repeatedly questioned, and you may begin to doubt your skill. But understand that this is not about you or your talent; it is simply a personality trait of the person you are dealing with. And once again, protect yourself in the contract.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Scornful Saver&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media1.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/saver.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1102930"&gt;Ivan Petrov&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This client has similarities to the nit-picker and under-valuer but is actually impressed with your work and skill set. The criticize you merely to undermine your confidence in an attempt to lower your pricing rate. Unlike some other client types, the scornful saver understands creative people and their processes. But they are cheap and manipulative, and their scheme may have worked in their favor once or twice in the past. So, they continue to subtly abuse the people they hire in the hope of saving every last penny.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compliments always come with a less-than-flattering qualifier.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Takes time to respond to questions, sometimes making you ask more than once.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes such statements as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“I really like what you’ve done overall, but I’m unsure about one or two things.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“You may not have gotten exactly what we’re looking for, but you’re close.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again, it is all about confidence. Having a solid understanding of your field and being confident in your knowledge and abilities will keep this client’s manipulation in check. Standing your ground and even calling the client on some of their tactics could shift the balance of power over to you. Be prepared to walk away from the project if the disrespect and manipulation continues. There will be other projects and other clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The “I-Could-Do-This-Myself”-er&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media1.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/diy.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1070268"&gt;Maria Beliakova&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where to begin… When this client farms a project out to you, they make clear to you that they know how to do what they’re hiring you to do but that just don’t have the time to actually do it. They may be working at a firm or an entrepreneur; either way, you are there to pick up their slack. If they’re at a firm, you could be in for an interesting situation; they were likely hired for their particular style and proposals, and now you will have to please two sets of people: the person who hired you and the people who hired him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Will generally be (or look) hectic and rushed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Communication from them often takes the form of short bursts of information.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes such statements as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“I could easily handle this if my schedule weren’t so full.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Really? Not sure that’s the direction I would’ve gone in, but whatever.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Remember, you are filling my shoes, and they’re pretty big.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The “I-Could-Do-This-Myself”-er will likely have recognized your talent and skill right away, which is why they hired you. They merely want you to know that this project (and thus you) is not above their ability. And though these reminders will grate on you periodically, they will let you run with your ideas, perhaps offering suggestions or feedback on the final design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Control Freak&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media2.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/controller.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Image by &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sxc.hu/photo/957040"&gt;Michal Zacharzewski&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This client desperately needs to micro-manage every little detail of the project, no matter their qualifications. No decision may be made without their explicit input and approval. This tiresome client forces himself into your workflow, heedless of either invitation or protest, and will demand access to you at whim. The concepts of boundaries and strict work processes are easily lost on the control freak, who constantly disrupts the flow. They may also believe you lack dedication or preparedness, further reinforcing their need to interfere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initial contact is long, detailed and one-sided, with little input sought from you.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your input remains unsought as the project pushes forward.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes such statements as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“This way we can keep in contact 24/7 in case you have any questions, or I do.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“I really know best what is right for the project and what is not.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“What do you mean, I’m distracting you? I am the only thing keeping this project on track!”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you absolutely must take on this client, for whatever reason, resign yourself to the fact that you will not be steering at any point. You will have to detach yourself from the work because you will have no control at all. You will merely be constructing, not designing, so just let go and let it happen. You may want to exclude this project from your portfolio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Dream Client&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media2.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dream.jpg" width="500" height="250"&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This client, widely dismissed as a myth, does in fact exist and understands the full scope and artistry of your work. They value your role and creative contributions and want you in the driver’s seat as soon as the project gets underway. They are timely with responses and payments… payments that they did not “negotiate” but rather accepted for what they are. They reflect on your suggestions and have confidence in your capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Identifying Characteristics&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is enthusiastic about the project and your involvement in it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Communication shows awareness of and respect for your role.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Makes such statements as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“Here’s the brief we prepared. The rest is pretty much up to you.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;“We like what we’ve seen and trust you’ll do great things for us.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;How to Deal&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t brag! Just enjoy the ride and hold on to them for as long as you possibly can!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Wrap-up&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being able to identify the type of client you are dealing with will prepare you for the job ahead. It will also help you decide whether to accept the job in the first place. Your contract will reflect the power dynamics of the project, so the more you know about the client, the better able you will be to adjust the contract as necessary.

         <title>iccudrac: Parkour a Roma. L'arte si spostarsi in città</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/q3XNrXBzhXk/parkour-a-roma-larte-si-spostarsi-in-citta</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe class="embeddedvideo" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YycFgKrYft4&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt; &lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La fuga per la sopravvivenza e la determinazione a non fermarsi mai davanti ad un ostacolo, insieme a velocità, efficacia, agilità, eleganza, determinazione, controllo, che aiutano la ricerca e la consapevolezza di se, hanno reso il &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour"&gt;Parkour&lt;/a&gt; uno stile di vita e soprattutto un modo di vivere gli spazi metropolitani.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Partito dalla Francia di &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Belle"&gt;David Belle&lt;/a&gt;, responsabile del neologismo ottenuto mettendo una kappa nella parola francese parcours “percorso” e reso famoso da i setti Yamakasi di &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://filmup.leonardo.it/sc_yamakasi.htm"&gt;Luc Besson&lt;/a&gt;, il Parkour da non confondersi con il &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Running"&gt;Free Running&lt;/a&gt;, è ormai radicato in tutto il mondo come vera e propria arte dello spostamento in città. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Per vivere la città in modo intenso e diverso, i “traceurs” di tutta Europa tornano a Roma per il &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.parkour.it/v-raduno-nazionale-parkour-it-naokis-day-17-ottobre-2009/"&gt;V Raduno Nazionale Parkour.it&lt;/a&gt; e due giorni dedicati alla ricerca di se stessi e al sano rispetto per l’ambiente, che non sono davvero due obiettivi da poco.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;
Nel contesto della Festa dello Sport organizzata dal Comune di Roma e dal Municipio VIII, il &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/parkour.it"&gt;raduno&lt;/a&gt; si svolgerà oggi a partire dalle alle 14.30 nello spot storico della piazza del teatro di Tor Bella Monaca e domani dalle ore 13.00 nel Parco di Villa Ada Bassa per una giornata a contatto con la natura. L’eventuale pioggia, ovviamente sarà solo un altro ostacolo da superare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oggi e domani, correre, strisciare, saltare, rotolare, afferrare in maniera salda le cose, appendersi e restare in equilibrio, saranno un’occasione per condividere l’esperienza acquisita dai traceurs di tutta Europa (anche attraverso workshop) con appassionati, curiosi, neofiti e nuovi adepti, raccogliendo al contempo fondi per Naoki Ishiyama (nel video), il traceur giapponese che lo scorso 23 agosto ha subito un gravissimo infortunio durante un allenamento estivo insieme ai &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.parkourgenerations.com/naoki.php"&gt;Parkour Generations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;L’iniziativa nata da parkour.it insieme ad associazioni e movimenti come &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.momu.it/SitoMomu/NuovoSito/HomeNew/momu.htm"&gt;MoMu&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pkr-roma.it/"&gt;PKR&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bikorn.com/"&gt;BIKòRN&lt;/a&gt;!, prosegue la bella esperienza di &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.06blog.it/post/4805/da-parigi-a-tor-bella-monaca-arriva-il-parkour/"&gt;Parkour 4 Children&lt;/a&gt;. Per la partecipazione è stata fissata uno quota pari a € 15,00, dove € 10 saranno donati a Naoki, mentre € 5 serviranno per assicurazione e ambulanza … tanto per precisare che qualche rischio va sempre calcolato in casi del genere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sul sito dell’iniziativa trovate informazioni dettagliate e orari per partecipare, ma vi assicuro che vedere in azione i traceur e magari fare una chiacchierata con loro, fa venire voglia di provare a non aggirare l’ostacolo o la barriera architettonica che ci ostacola il percorso…&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>iccudrac: Dyson Air Multiplier, il nuovo ventilatore senza pale</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/h6yHvPeKsMA/dyson-air-multiplier-il-nuovo-ventilatore-senza-pale</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.blogo.it/designerblog/dysonventilatore.jpg" align="left" border="0" width="432" height="462" alt="dyson ventilatore senza pale"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Silenziosissimo, facile da pulire, elegante nel design. E soprattutto diverso dalle nostre aspettative più consolidate. Queste le qualità rivoluzionarie del nuovo ventilatore &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.dyson.com/fans/"&gt;Air Multiplier&lt;/a&gt; prodotto dalla casa americana Dyson. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Il segreto di questo vero e proprio upgrade rispetto agli standard -anche formali- di settore sta tutto nella tecnologia: l’aria viene aspirata attraverso un motorino disposto nell’anello, per poi essere spinta fuori con una potenza quindici volte superiore a quella di un normale ventilatore. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Annullati anche i rischi di farsi male alle dita. Prezzo al pubblico a partire dai 300 dollari.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Contro la vita sedentaria, i giovani designer spagnoli &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.virginiapol.com/"&gt;Virginia Pol&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ferranlajara.com/"&gt;Ferran Lajara&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.cristinaguardiola.com/"&gt;Cristina Guardiola&lt;/a&gt; hanno progettato una serie di prototipi ironici e provocatori che mirano a sollecitare il movimento fisico da parte degli utenti. I tre oggetti della collezione, una lampada, una scrivania e un appendiabiti, raggiungono una piena funzionalità solo nell’interazione tra oggetto e utente.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La lampada, ad esempio, illumina soltanto quanto viene sorretta con una mano e tenuta verticalmente. I cassetti della scrivania, invece, sono ubicati dalla parte opposta rispetto alla seduta, imponendo a chi voglia aprirlo di alzarsi e fare il giro. Per usare l’appendiabiti, invece, è necessaria una bella arrampicata a parete. &lt;/p&gt;

         <title>iccudrac: Software gestionale gratuito, si chiama Phasis</title>
         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/KhcOD7kuSzY/post-003184</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;Finalmente ho trovato un &lt;strong&gt;software gestionale gratis &lt;/strong&gt;che mi permette di &lt;strong&gt;organizzare l’azienda&lt;/strong&gt; di famiglia con pochi sforzi e senza spendere un centesimo!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="phasis2" src="http://www.creareonline.it/wp-content/uploads/phasis2.jpg" alt="phasis2" width="548" height="437"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Si chiama &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.phasis.it/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Phasis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ed è davvero funzionale, ha molte sezioni che vanno dal magazzino: con anagrafica articoli, carico, scarico, inventario; fino alla gestione di acquisti, vendite, anagrafica clienti eccetera&lt;/p&gt;

         <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LeLettureDeiCoco/~3/qjlb4uOgBZQ/koga-bergmonch-la-bici-pieghevole-per-la-montagna</link>
         <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gadgetblog.it/galleria/bergmonch-backpack-bike/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.blogo.it/gadgetblog/bergmonch-backpack-bike/backpackbike2.JPG" alt="" width="432" height="366"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scendere a rotta di collo da un sentiero di montagna con una bicicletta è sicuramente un’esperienza emozionante, ma prima di farlo occorre affrontare il percorso in salita e se non si hanno le gambe per la scalata o un impianto di risalita a disposizione l’unico modo è portare la bici in spalla.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Per agevolare questa operazione &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.koga.com/uk/"&gt;Koga&lt;/a&gt; ha ideato &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bergmoench.koga.com/En/"&gt;Bergmönch&lt;/a&gt;, una bicicletta pieghevole, priva di sella e pedali, che può essere ripiegata in un pratico zaino in soli due minuti.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quest bicicletta ha una robusta struttura in alluminio che permette di contenere il peso complessivo in soli 9 Kg e naturalmente è dotata di potenti freni a disco Shimano SLX. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Il prezzo è da veri intenditori 1.499 €.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dopo il salto un video con la bici in azione.&lt;/p&gt;
