Stay hungry, stay foolish. Ciao Steve. (1 Comment)

From Wikipedia:

“Excerpts from President Barack Obama’s statement:
Steve was among the greatest of American innovators – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it. By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.

Bill Gates released a statement saying:
I’m truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs’ death. Melinda and I extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends, and to everyone Steve has touched through his work. Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.

Walt Disney Company president Bob Iger said in regards to Jobs:
Steve Jobs was a great friend as well as a trusted advisor. His legacy will extend far beyond the products he created or the businesses he built. It will be the millions of people he inspired, the lives he changed, and the culture he defined. Steve was such an “original,” with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started. With his passing the world has lost a rare original, Disney has lost a member of our family, and I have lost a great friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Laurene and his children during this difficult time.

Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page:
Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you.

American director Steven Spielberg said: “Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips.”

Microsoft Co-founder Paul Allen said: “We’ve lost a unique tech pioneer and auteur who knew how to make amazingly great products. Steve fought a long battle against tough odds in a very brave way. He kept doing amazing things in the face of all that adversity. As someone who has had his own medical challenges, I couldn’t help but be encouraged by how he persevered.”

Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak said : “People sometimes have goals in life. Steve Jobs exceeded every goal he set himself.””

Giovanni Battista Ferrari, Regional Commander Border Police North, taking Andy Sparks, deputy Head of Mission, for a tour of the two northern gates. Too late for the marshmallows… Best of luck for the future!

George Carlin, holy shit! (No Comments)

Powerful, short, funny, neat. True. Something for your eyes and ears. A different human society is possible. Let’s start to purge the bullshit. This is about religion, one of the main obstacles to a sane society. Something to remember and share.

Potente, corto, divertente, pulito. Vero. Qualcosa per i vostri occhi e le orecchie. Una società umana diversa è possibile. Cominciamo ad eliminare le stronzate. Questo monologo è religione, uno dei principali ostacoli ad una società sana. Ricordate e condividete.

The Obama Messianic Fulgurator Blitz

Il genio di Julius Von Bismarck fa gola a molte multinazionali, le quali gli hanno offerto una valanga di soldi. Lui non cede (per ora, e per sempre, spero…), lo ha brevettato, e ha già pronti modelli più avanzati . Il suo “Aparat zur minimal-invasiven Manipulation von Fotographien” è un’opera d’arte creata dal genio di questo berliner di 2 metri di statura. Quando qualcuno scatta una foto, istantaneamente il Fulgurator proietta l’immagine voluta, che sarà visibile solamente nella foto di chi ha scattato! Questo signore potrebbe aver inventato la morte della fotografia turistica. Staremo a vedere!
Julius Von Bismarck

English

This gentleman has figured out a way to interupt another’s photo by means of a slave flash
and a custom modified camera. This is pure genius. Evil? What’s evil if not our own interpretation of an action, according to our set of values? This could be evil if used by the corrupt marketing and profit prone corporations, it could be grand if used against politicians and government propaganda of all kinds. Julius Von Bismarck created a tool that might kill photography of tourist spots forever. Let’s see what happens!
