Design your room

This is a very good tool for design rooms.
You can add walls, windows, doors and other models and you can add your models too (created with other software).
You can export the room in the .obj format or in a render.

A mac pub. With a poster of uncle Steve.

This is my first try, a geek/nerd basement:

You can download this tool in the official site:

Seriously what? Alien abductions?

Ok, alien abductions.
No problem to discuss about this argument.
But:  http://www.stopabductions.com/

Oh!! Build an alien-proof helmet to defend yourself against abductions!
This site is old but now is in 2 other languages!
Scam? Joke? Maybe... but it's so funny!

Trust me bro.

Skype crashes and the site is down (now fixed)

Yes, Skype is down at the moment and the site shows:

Hi, our server has taken a short break

Looks like our server is down. This usually means that we’re doing maintenance work or there are too many visitors at skype.com and we cannot cope with the popularity. In any case — we’re already fixing it and everything should be back to normal in a few minutes.

Oh, damn.
Things that can happen, but I would like to find out why.
Updated as soon as I know something

Update:

What a speed!

Apple and the malware

In these days a malware called "Mac Defender"  is spreading in the mac world.
Now Apple admits that this software is a malware and provides an update to fix this mess.

Where is the problem? Mac Os X is not invincible against viruses & co. ?

My thoughts:
those who create vulnerabilities in the system is often the user*, as in this case.


How to remove:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650

Lol fact:
a website called "MacDefender" (http://www.macdefender.org) was flooded with emails because some users thought it was connected with the malware. It isn't.

This webpage is in no way related to the scareware "MAC Defender", "MAC Protector" or "MAC Security". So please stop sending mails. There is no website for this scareware and of course you can't contact the authors of this application.

Update: there is a new version of this malware, pay attention

2012 for Windows 8 (maybe)

CEO Ballmer: 

"next generation of Windows systems was coming out in 2012"

Developers, developers, developers... developers everywhere

I don't know if some of you have already seen the Win8 builds with unlocked features...
Until now, these features are found:
- Ribbon interface;
- Metro interface for some parts;
- Patter Logon (login with clicking a pattern in a grid of cubes);
- Application store;
- Tablet support.


I hope that these feature will be added:
- virtual desktops;
- facial recognition with Kinect support.

What do you want from the new Windows OS?

Heating of a Macbook

It's true this fact?

OS Nostalgia #2: MS-Dos 7.1

Let's install Dos (7.1).
What do you need?

- Ms-Dos 7.1 (or lower) floppy images;
- a virtual machine manager installed in your pc;
- one minute.


1) Create a new VM with one floppy drive and put in this drive the first floppy image (disk01.img)
2) Create a hdd virtual drive, start the virtual machine and boot from floppy
3) Install DOS and when it asks the second floppy, change the floppy image via menu
4) Ok, Dos is installed!

I have 7.1, you can install on this Dos the OS Windows 3.1.
I found only this version of Dos, but a lower version is ok too.
