Youtube finally kick the video limit away, the step is huge, 100mb to 1gb. The new video uploader on the shelf (beta) right now will let you:
- Enter in your video's metadata (title, description, tags, etc.) while the upload is processing. - Upload multiple files at once, without downloading a plugin (separate progress bars will display for each file) - The file-size limit for uploads has been raised from 100MB to 1GB.
Some folks around usually love to write something on dirty car. You can find every kind of sentence on a dusty windscreen. Probably Wash Me is the most common but not for Scott Wade that really knows how to use dust:
No, is not the classic post Windows Vs OSX or Mac Vs Pc, but a post to highlight the new microsoft campaign. Not the Seinfeld's one that was too cryptic and honestly even not so funny:
but the new one called "I Am A PC":
The answer to the "Get a Mac" series:
Now it would be interesting to see how Apple will react with the new "Get A Mac" spots. We will probably see a new interesting and amusing marketing fight between those two colossus.
After I posted the evolution made by Diablo, It was obvious that also Warcraft needed his own space. I Love both the ambientation, but Warcraft is still my favourite even if I don't like fantasy so much. The neverending fight between white and black, good and evil has always something fascinating and when you put against Orc Vs Human, Hord Vs Alliance, Elves, Tauren and more and more the success is for sure. The world that Blizzard created is enourmous and full of details, probably that's why so many people is playing World of Warcraft right now (no, probably their playing to reach the most uber powa pair of trousers available to reach the ultimate tier!!1!). I think that I spent more time on Warcraft's world than in Hyrule or the Mushroom Kingdom.
Warcraft 4 will be the next target for the Blizzard's fellow after Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 and The Lich King (the next WoW Expansion). A looooong wait is coming...
Here we are with the history:
1994 Warcraft: Orcs & Humans Unripe but the basis were there:
1995 Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness The first RTS offering, with the Battle.net editionExpansion, the online Multiplayer. Was pure addiction, I spent childhood's hours with this jewel:
2002 Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos More races, more strategies, the Heroes and a the best online service available at that time. Warcraft 3 was a huge step forward for the RTS category and The Frozen Throne (the only expansion available) was the perfect evolution. I loved this game! This is the beautiful intro:
2004 World of Warcraft The first MMORPG that blew the world up, 10 and more millions of player, addicting power, an expansion already out and one incoming. It took the genre from a niche bring it to the masses. Good job Blizzy, good job!

Funny the answer he gave to the republican churchy guys:
Other 3 films for the weekly Movie space, this week dedicated to the Cohen Brothers:
The Big Lebowsky - Jesus (Typography) This is a CULT! Turturro has only a little character but is GREAT! The Gipsy Kings singing Hotel California in the background are genial!
Intolerable Cruelty - What Wine? Smart speech, Cohen style.
O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Costant Sorrow I love this song.
Life, Hi-tech, Gaming, Movies, Music.
Are some of my interests.
Born in Italy, I studied as accountant at my Town's High School. After that I started the studies as a Movie Director following the course at the "Roma 3 University".
With the degree (BA) and a bit of experience in my field, I decided, after a lot of circumstances, to move to Edinburgh.
Here, in Scotland I'm getting back to study again to mix my knowledge with something more "technical"...
We will see what my life have to offer.
