For some days I'm trying to traferire this at my blog hosting personnel (address, however, do not worry, will not change and will remain the same, therefore no change for you) so as to be able to intervene in all those options , Characteristics, which Wordpress.com not allow me to intervene. It is not yet said that the transfer is made, however I wanted to try to see how it would have been the final result.

So I installed Wordpress, I configured and I adapted to my needs. And 'everything went well until I reached the point of having to import inside all articles written previously on this blog. To do this subsection shall be entered in the Export tab Manage the control panel of Mac Blog and I exported a file containing all posts, all comments, all categories created so far. Then, once this is done, I tried to load everything in the new Wordpress installed on my server, the panel Import of new Mac Blog and behold, here, let me have a problem. I think that everything is linked to the fact that the file to be imported must weigh up 2MB while my will because I wrote during all this time, a flood of articles, more than 9MB. That is why, after trying to import it, I is a mistake, that literally says: File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini

I would be grateful if, for once, were you to help me and make me understand how the devil can emerge winner of this battle between me and Wordpress. If you could help me solve this problem, chiarendomi how and what must be done to be able to import everything.

I have already asked for help before it on Wordpress-com and GiorgioTave, but since I have not received any response we riprovo now.

It capita something, therefore, illuminatemi what to do. Among the comments of this blog to email, in one of the two forum where I posted the topic. Wherever you want

The photo above concerns iJustine, the girl ideal of every reader of this blog. Mac User sfegatata, so much to get a tattoo over Apple's shoulder and attract, thus the attention of fake Steve Jobs.

The tattoo I can make you too, I ve l 'I also said how. And 'well colored

C 'was, this summer, the challenge on Blogstar Death Match between this blog and Rooms with Vista. Avendola Mac Blog won is automatically passed to the second round of elimination, which began just right this September, contains within it the survivors of the first round.

Well today, 28 September, Mac Blog down again in the field, this time to go against Delymyth. Of course, like the previous time, I help you loyal readers for sconfiggerla and maybe win again or, if nothing else, not losing too dramatically

I would like to clarify that, that for which voted in play, it's what you want them to lose, not win. So if you want to make a point to me you must click on the orange arrow facing Delymyth. That is exactly what we do, right?

Ask to have a blog. Put that this blog is hosted on Wordpress (like this one, for example). Add to finish this because they hold an iPhone or new iPod Touch.

Well if fulfilled all these premises could then return very useful plugin for a new Wordpress, produced and published a short time ago by Dan Cameron, which transforms the interface of Governors of your blog so this is perfectly compatible with both devices listed above .

The new interface style iPhone will allow you to post new articles, read the latest comments left by visitors, change your profile and previous posts.

Very useful and well done, I would say that is precisely the case with istallarlo, if you are lucky to have the iPod Touch ol'iPhone.

Nathan Sawaya, calling itself a Brick Artist, has rencente tried to play with Lego the iPhone, achieving a final result very satisfactory that comes close as possible to the original.

The iPhone Lego for now, unfortunately, is not for sale (if it had been probably would have been one of the first to buy it, already know what I like these cavolate) but can only be rimirato and desired by the photos that the artist has published on its website, brickartist.com.

This is not the first object Apple realized in lego we see, as you may recall in fact long ago I had talked about PodBrix, site that sells a variety of different objects in the Lego all inspired by Apple, unfortunately always limited edition that, for this reason, cover in a moment.

Yesterday I received an email from Skinizi, a French site that sells beautiful skin for iPod made by different artists from all over the globe.

When the skin in question are a fortnight but soon it could and should reach the others. Meanwhile, those already available can also see from a tunnel created and hosted by Flickr.

Skinizi could very pleased to all those who want something different and original than the classic iPod. The skin, for sale from their website at a price of around 15 U.S. dollars, are compatible with the iPod Nano 2-generation iPods and 5 generation but probably sooner or later you'll also issued new compatible with the newcomers to Apple.

Personally, I like the iPod to natural, but even in these alternate versions does not seem anything wrong.

Loyd houses PcWorld published on the note of science magazine article that really applies punishment to read, If Apple Never Existed. The same person, some time ago, had kept in a magazine column of a series of tracts in which it was envisaged as a world without Microsoft (best? ) Now, years later, has decided to redo the same thing, but this time assuming a world without Apple.

More than the article itself, which deserves a reading, I want to focus on reflection of the author with which it ends, over the words with which the author admits that as the impact of Apple in the computer has been really great, both in terms of design and the ability to simplify the technology and bring it in the hands of the common people, as before his arrival machines were not able to communicate with each other, as if Apple had never existed, now we would not have the Personal Computer.

You might wonder how this rather bleak scenario might exist if Apple had never come to pass. Despite not being a Mac user, it's my belief that Apple acted as a catalyst for the industry. Prior to Apple, there were a host of home computers and business-oriented PCs, either running proprietary operating system or some variant of CP / M. But even CP / M machines often could not talk to each other.

Had there never been an Apple, the IBM PC may never have emerged, which then set off the tidal wave of innovation + standardization that allows us to have cheap PC technology today. Apple has had a tremendous impact, both directly through its suberb industrial design and efforts to simplify technology, and indirectly, by stimulating competition that eventually resulted in the PC ecosystem we have today. What do you think?

Below, who interessase, the article in its entirety. E 'in English, unfortunately I have not had time to translate because of its length and also not having understood perfectly in its entirety.

I arrive at the office, courier bag slung over one shoulder, Peet's coffee in one hand. It feels earlier than it is, probably because I'd been working on deadline until late in the evening.

The problem with writing about home computers is keeping track of all of them. There are times I wish a single home computer standards existed, but that'sa pipe dream. Still, HC's have come a long way since the early days of the Altair and Compupro boxes.

When I arrive at the office, several large boxes are awaiting me. The new Harmon Kardon home entertainment computer is in one of the boxes. Harmon is trying to establish a new category, the "HEC". I say, to HEC with it. Who wants to get locked into one type of media, when the CD is perfectly adequate? The Harmon PR rep had spoken eloquently about how transferring the music from a CD to the magneto-optical drive built into the HEC Harmon meant you could have as many as thirty CDs on tap at any one time. But once in the HEC, you could not get the music out, locking you into gear Harmon forever.

I plopped myself down at my desk and pulled out the Tandy NB5000 portable computer. It'sa neat device, not much bigger than a large paper notebook, with an 80-column LCD screen. It had been a long, arduous process getting the Ziff-Davis IT department to approve the Radio Shack NBCs. Apparently, buying the utility software to convert the text format to something the DEC minicomputers could recognize was expensive.

I found myself wishing that one of the big computer companies had dived into the market for HCs, but alas, they had ceded the territory to the big consumer electronics companies. Sony, Toshiba, NEC and others had gobbled up companies like Amiga, Atari, and the various CP / M hardware companies in the late 1980's, and proceeded to deliver dozens of different HCs. It was really a dream and nightmare hobbyists both. All the different devices were pretty cool-except that getting your data from one to another was a real mess.

This was all exacerbated by the dozen or so companies building microprocessors for HCs, all of which had different instruction sets, different lengths and different word order bit. But it was job security for writers like me, who could make sense of it all to end users. No one company had gained enough traction to set a single standard.

I read over my roundup on the latest 200MB magneto-optical drives, then transferred it to the floppy 5MB built into the side of the NBC. The NEC unit was clearly best, but Sony's was a close second, due to its support for both the 200MB standard format and a Sony proprietary format that was also 200MB. However, the proprietary format could store up to twenty minutes of video, making it a sort of poor man's Laserdisc. I popped out the floppy drive and walked over to our production team.

The roundup needed to be edited, then formatted for the various electronic mail blasts as well as the print version. We had four people dedicated to reformatting the text into formats that the various mail readers on the several dozen HCs could understand.

I returned to my office just as the phone rang. It was Steve, a PR rep from a new company starting up Santa Clara. "Hey, we have a pretty neat gadget. It's about the size of a cassette Walkman, but uses a tiny MO drive to hold three hours of music. It only weighs about eight ounces. Want to check it out? "

"Sure," I said. "Might be a cool gadget for our holiday gift guide."

"One other thing. I've picked up a new account. They're building these HCs using off-the-shelf components and the same magnetic disk technology used in minicomputers and mainframes. It even runs a kind of UNIX. "

I sighed. "How much does it cost."

"That's the great part. It's under $ 10.000. "

"Steve, that's too much for most families."

"Hey, it's really cool. You know, Loyd, you've got to learn to think different. "

Starting November 12, One Laptop for Child will be offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program for a brief window of time. For $ 399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops-one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home. If you're interested in. Give 1 Get 1, we'll be happy to send you a reminder email. Just sign up in the box to the left and you'll receive your reminder prior to the November 12 launch date.

One Latop For Child, a project born long ago to try to provide developing countries with low cost portable, tries to revive with an interesting idea, Give 1 get 2.

In short anyone will have the opportunity, paying 400 dollars to enter into possession of two computers (in fact a cost 200 U.S. dollars): one to keep for himself, the other by donating in a country of your choice. The computers in question are based on AMD Geode LX-700, with 7.5-inch monitor, two Usb, slot for SD memory cards, Wi-Fi and on the Linux operating system.

The initiative will start on 14 November and will last throughout the month, the portable will be dispatched to the beginnings of 2008.
