At Geneva Motor Show, the Bavarian car manufacturer presented the BMW ConnectedDrive Vision Concept , a concept car that is a distillation of new and old technologies used to make the car safe and connected with the world around her. What particularly impressed me is that this project embodies the Supercar of the popular TV series of the 80s! The dashboard is a 3D screen showing you all the information processed by software running ConnectedDrive Vision. This not only assists you when driving giving you directions, but could also proceed independently before leaving the restaurant where you dine and go to look for parking, or intervening when the sensors detect that you are investing for a pedestrian. infotainment system (the word comes from information and entartaiment, ie entertainment) allows you to surf the internet, checking text messages on your smartphone, as well as hands-free phone trivially .. In fact, car and phone recognize each other and interact in the moment you step car. How can one not remember KITT? The prototype
unfortunately does not anticipate that a vehicle will be produced in series, is designed only to show the potential of existing technology and devices. But surely some applications of the VCD will soon be on models of high-end BMW.
A taste Easter play in which a role of a bunny you will need to dodge city traffic picking up, within the maximum time, the most number of eggs required. To collect, and then remove the eggs, you have to collect a pair of consecutive identical eggs. Passing over an egg that you will be automatically put in the rucksack on his back that you, once you have chosen the egg look for one of the same type to form the pair. But be careful not to be hit by cars, motorcycles, trucks, and strange unidentified objects, or you'll lose one of three lives that you have available. Use the arrow keys to play.

Comment: the helmet of Scipio: Italy has a new head on the helmet of Scipio (Scipio Africanus), the Roman general who in 202 BC defeated at Zama (modern Algeria), the Carthaginian general Hannibal. Italy has returned to fight.
Let her bow: The Victory will be in Rome, namely Italy. In ancient Rome the slaves were cut hair. So the victory will give her hair because it is cut, because the victory is a slave of Rome will be meeting the winner.
cohort: in the Roman legions (ie the army), was divided into several cohorts. Let us unite then we remain united with us means that we are fighters ready to die for our ideal.

one hope other literary or archaic word. It means hope. But there is no wonder too if Mameli use these words. In the language of the songs of pop music around 1950, these words are still.
merge together over the years by Goffredo Mameli Italy is still divided into many small states. The text says that it is time to merge, to achieve national unity.
for God: two possible interpretations. For God is a Frenchman, and therefore means "by God" if we are united by God, by God, no one will ever win. What is certain is that in Italian, "for God" can also be a curse, an exclamation rather strong. Who will ever want to understand Goffredo Mameli? Since Twenty years had we like to think that he wanted to play on the double meaning (at the bottom of his relations with the Vatican were not very good, so much so that just died in Rome, where he fought for the Republic)
Legnano is everywhere : every Italian town, Legnano is the place where in 1176 the Lombard communes defeated the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa
Ferruccio: every man is like Francesco Ferrucci, the man who defended Florence in 1530 by Emperor Charles V.
Balilla: is the nickname of the baby with the launch of a stone in 1746 began the revolt of Genoa against the Austro-Piedmontese
Vespers: In 1282 the Sicilians rebel against French invading one evening, an hour of evening. The revolt was then called the revolt of the Sicilian Vespers
swords sold: the soldiers as mercenaries bent reeds and the eagle, symbol of Austria, lost their feathers
Blood Polish: Austria, allied with the Russia (Cossack) drank Polish blood, dismembered and divided Poland. But this blood drinking poison the hearts of the oppressors.

few days ago I came across this video : a nocturnal landscape a bit 'surreal and this wall of lights that takes shape, lengthens and shortens, subject to an invisible force .
The band of light is an auction of 4m in length on which are mounted LEDs connected to the WiFi antenna. Each time the antenna detects a WiFi network, the auction will be illuminated. The stronger the signal lights come on, revealing the topography of networks.
These designers have taken pictures of Oslo long exposure to capture the movement of the band of light and represent what is normally invisible. The WiFi signal is materialized in this representation, revealing a constant presence that permeates our city.
