HP and Symantec: You two I split in two….. So seems a few days I wrote about gigantism in the tech industry (see my articles on Daft Blogger Magazine)and just as a quick answer we have had new split decisions coming from two big giants…HP and Symantec. Come on guys I didn’t know my opinions were so important for you… In a period of hard recession it is quite normal to see companies that try to cut costs and staff, but HP and Symantec goes further and decided to split themselves: is this a good and sound operation?…

Il prossimo avvocato che parla di privacy a sproposito lo mordo…

Ok l’argomento è ostico, lo so, e le leggi italiane che hanno a che fare sulla privacy sono tutto fuor che chiare e comprensibili. Scritte in un limbo che si trova tra il non capire l’argomento, non avere le corrette referenze tecniche informatiche, e una area nuova anche dal punto di vista della tecnica legale, soffrono di uni problema di diffusione, comprensione ed interpretazione. Ma a fronte di taluni esperti che sanno di che cosa si parla, spesso mi trovo di fronte ad imbarazzanti affermazione da parte di soggetti che la questione dovrebbero conoscerla almeno in maniera minima: avvocati e…

Piove, governo ladro!

è successo ancora a Genova, distruzione e morte a causa di un fiume (torrente?) esondato per le piogge. Ed ancora siamo qui a parlare di dissesto idrogeologico, di danni mai sanati e cose del genere. Mi fa male vedere ancora una volta come siamo capaci di fare scempio di noi stessi, sentire gente disperata perchè colpita da una pioggia autunnale. Come sia possibile questo nel 2014 in un paese che dovrebbe essere considerato civile è difficile da spiegare, da spiegarsi. Bene fa il cardinal Bagnasco a ricordare l’importanza della assunzione di responsabilità a tutti livelli, una responsabilità che prima…

What if…

What if Michael Dell was right? The biggest tech companies are struggling in a crisis that seems not to have a end. Cisco, HP, even Microsoft have announced layouts and reduction of employee. We can say this is a common issue for a moment of crisis, companies need to rise up ROI and cost reduction is a key factor. It’s also undoubted that laying off personnel is the easiest way to reduce costs. But is this crisis just a matter of costs and ROI? or there are deeper reasons that are hitting those companies? The economical crisis is just…

Davide contro Golia (aka Antonio contro Vodafone)

Quando è il piccolo a chiedere al grande, sono solo fatti suoi! Sempre parlando di faccende personali non posso non citare la mia oramai lunga lotta con i vari servizi clienti delle grandi aziende. Customer service? in che senso? Ora capisco che quando si conduca una grande azienda piccolezze come la correttezza, la morale, l’etica e la legge vengano in secondo piano, soprattutto per quello che concerne la equivalenza di trattamento rispetto il singolo utente, pero non posso fare a meno di osservare come le suddette grandi aziende siano estremamente rapide nel mandare avvisi e more per mancati pagamenti di una bolletta,…

Has ever been anything called Palestina?

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 08/21/2014 Editorials, Editorials in English

One of the most common statement I have heard lately is that has not ever existed a “Palestinian” state. This is historically not correct and it is quite easy to find historical sources that talk about “Palestine” as a geographical and political entity. Specific references to “Palestine” date back nearly five hundred years before “the time of Jesus.” In the 5th Century BCE, Herodotus, the first historian in Western civilization, referenced “Palestine” numerous times in chronicle of the ancient world, The Histories, including the following passage describing “Syrians of Palestine”: “…they live in the coastal parts of Syria; and that region of…

World Dictionary New Words and Meaning: jew

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 08/21/2014 Editorials, Editorials in English

Words change with changing the time: change in meaning, pronunciation, spelling and so on. Today I’ve learned that there is another word I were not aware of the modern meaning, this word is Jew. Actually this is a word that have had different meanings through the recent and not so recent history, in my naïve vision the word was referring to someone who is a member of a specific religion or religious group but today I’ve learned a more specific set of meanings. Accordingly to social networks and broadcast media today the word assume different meaning but somehow I’ve been able…

World Dictionary New Words and Meaning: Communist

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 08/21/2014 Editorials, Editorials in English

They’re “Communists“. – This is a common way to express a feeling against someone. Communist and communism have lost the original meaning to be used, nowadays, as a synonymous of “Bad Guy that is against Freedom, Truth, Democracy, Life, God and everything holy and so, as a matter of fact, terrorist, killer and all the worse” After the end of the so-called “cold War” and the downfall of the former USSR what is left is just an abused and empty word “communism” still used as a propaganda flag to show the “enemy” in a general way. If you’re against me so you’re “communist”, so it…
