by de petra giulio June 9, 2016

June 9, 2016

Care/i vi segnalo che il prossimo 23 giugno a Roma, nella sala della Fondazione Basso, a partire dalle 16, ci sarà un incontro pubblico organizzato dal CRS in collaborazione con la Fiom, nel quale si discuterà del progetto di una "Scuola per la consapevolezza critica della trasformazione digitale" Trovate qui la presentazione dell'incontro e gli obiettivi del progetto http://www.centroriformastato.it/lo-conosci-lo-critichi/ Ne parlo in questa lista, non solo perchè spero che possa interessare a molti di voi, ma perchè questo progetto si è nutrito, e ancor più lo farà in seguito, delle informazioni, delle opinioni, delle idee che su questa lista, così sapientemente "consapevole", quotidianamente circolano. Anche per questo spero che i nexiani di Roma o di passaggio, ma non solo, siano interessati a partecipare direttamente all'incontro ed ai successivi sviluppi di questo progetto. Giulio

NYT: "The Web’s Creator Looks to Reinvent It"
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 9, 2016

*The Web’s Creator Looks to Reinvent It* By QUENTIN HARDY JUNE 7, 2016 SAN FRANCISCO — Twenty-seven years ago, Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web as a way for scientists to easily find information. It has since become the world’s most powerful medium for knowledge, communications and commerce — but that doesn’t mean Mr. Berners-Lee is happy with all of the consequences. “It controls what people see, creates mechanisms for how people interact,” he said of the modern day web. “It’s been great, but spying, blocking sites, repurposing people’s content, taking you to the wrong websites — that completely undermines the spirit of helping people create.” So on Tuesday, Mr. Berners-Lee gathered in San Francisco with other top computer scientists — including Brewster Kahle, head of the nonprofit Internet Archive and an internet activist — to discuss a new phase for the web.

"Before Apple, Olivetti Made the Products Everyone Wanted"
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 9, 2016

June 9, 2016

*Before Apple, Olivetti Made the Products Everyone Wanted** * By Kristin Hohenadel June 7, 2016 The design aesthetic of the world’s most wanted laptops and smartphones is generally as slick as the products themselves. Even as the new Apple store design feels like an ostensible attempt to soften its interiors with ficus trees and warm, natural materials such as leather and wood, Apple’s overarching image has a decidedly corporate vibe. But back when typewriters ruled the day, iconic Italian manufacturer Olivetti created bold graphics, advertising, and showrooms that harnessed the selling power of great design but carried it off with a nostalgia-provoking dose of pure design flair and midcentury cool.

Corte UE: L'equo compenso per i titolari del diritto d’autore, anche se finanziato dal bilancio statale, va pagato solo dagli utenti di copie private (sentenza C-470/14)
by Marco Ciurcina June 9, 2016

June 9, 2016

Mi pare che impatti anche in Italia. :-) ------ La direttiva sul diritto d’autore osta a che l’equo compenso, destinato agli autori in caso di copia privata delle loro opere, sia assoggettato ad un sistema di finanziamento di bilancio quale quello istituito in Spagna Infatti, tale sistema non garantisce che il costo dell’equo compenso sia sopportato, in definitiva, dai soli utenti di copie private (Sentenza nella causa C-470/14, Entidad de Gestión de Derechos de los Productores Audiovisuales (EGEDA) e a./Administración del Estado e a.) ------- In allegato il comunicato stampa in italiano. m.c.
