I feel ashamed. The Guardian a week ago released this article explaining, in a “reasonably informed way” why “nothing happens after all the scandals in which the Psycho-Nano is involved”.

I say “reasonably informed way” because, normally, newspapers that are not Italian don’t really get what the man is: to understand Berlusconi you need to understand what Italy became today.

In any case, in this situations, I feel ashamed of being Italian. And doesn’t matter “that I’m not him”: I’m Italian, Italy is my Country, but it’s like seeing a beautiful woman destroying herself with alcohol, unable to understand when she should stop.

I’m with a bit of proudness that I say that in July the HTC Hero, a new Android-based smart-phone, is going to be launched.

For UK, Orange will be the operator to sell it. As far as I know, details are not being disclosed yet.

HTC has developed this new UI/UX (User Interface/User eXperience) on the top of Android, called “HTC Sense“. Some says, on the top of Android (2.0 codename “Donut”). I personally don’t know if it’s true: if it is soon we will have it in the Android branch.
But something tells me that this is going to be ONLY available on Android HTC phones. It’s too much of a “added value” for HTC to give it out to everyone else.

Another most notable thing, this will be the first phone on the market to have full support for Adobe Flash (not just Flash Lite ;) ). Adobe announces it here.

More videos about this AMAZING UI after the jump.

While Twitter is down (O_o), I decided to put this here: Linus Torvalds Facts.

LOL! :D

I found this page that sends you via email the right “Profile” for iPhone 3.0 to enable tethering.

No Jailbrake or Unlocking required: it just works.

After you install the profile, enable Tethering and follow the instructions on the phone.
If you decide to use Bluetooth, after you pair the device with your laptop, just configure it as “network port” (on Mac it will be almost automagic!).

Performances are pretty good, I must say.

This morning, while I was reading the Daniele Luttazzi’s blog and his series of post called “La Palestra” (“The Gym” in English), I decided that was worth it to translate some of the best I read.
“The Gym”? Luttazzi publishes satyric jokes on his blog, from a collection of ones that he receives from his fans.
But why? Because I think some of them are good even in English. Italian’s latest events are being publicized on international newspapers lately. This makes it possible to get those jokes.

There you go!

«Night visit of Berlusconi to Gheddafi’s tent, where the president staid for half an hour».
Ghedini _{(one of many Berlusconi’s lawyers)} says «There were also the parents of the Lybian Leader».
(Stefano Picardi & Matteo Bianchini)

Vote in Iran: 3 deaths during protests. Now Ahmadinejad has 100% of the consensus.
(Stefano Pisani)

Fini goes hard on: «Once upon a time dictators where on time.»
(Ernesto Montale)

The raìs waited at the House of Deputies. Fini _{(Head of the Italian’s House of Deputies)}: «Unjustified delay».
The libic president: «I was on the phone with the turkish premier Erdogan»
(Giovanni Tosato)

From Libia we will receive immigrants and gas.
Satisfaction for the North League _{(Italian xenophobe party)}: «Now we just need to put them together»
(Stefano Barco)

Berlusconi: «Soon new law againts pictures; the Italians are tired of being photographed in parties in their mega-villas with dozens of topless women».
(give title)

_{Disclaimer: I’m not the author of any of the jokes on this post. I just translated them, reporting the name of the author as done by Luttazzi himself. If you have any problem with me reposting them, please ask and I will remove it straightaway.}
