Tanto per chiarire / Just to make it clear


Tanto per chiarire / Just to make it clear

Più che un blog questo è un diario di appunti, dove spesso mi segno e rilancio articoli ed opinion interessanti trovate in giro per la rete.

Cerco sempre di citare e linkare correttamente la fonte originale. Se comunque trovaste roba vostra che volete che tolga o corregga, vi prego di segnalarmelo a Stef@cutillo.eu
This is a notebook -not really a blog- where I often relaunch interesting stuff I find roaming on the net.
I always try to link correctly the original sources. If anyway you find your stuff and want me to remove or correct it, please let me know at Stef@cutillo.eu


Questo blog, ovviamente, non rappresenta una testata giornalistica in quanto viene aggiornato senza alcuna periodicità e con molta poca coerenza. Non può pertanto considerarsi un prodotto editoriale ai sensi della legge n. 62 del 7.03.2001 e seguenti.
This is just a silly legal note to state that this (SURPRISE! SURPRISE!)
is not a newspaper or a news publication whatsoever.

Colourful sign on the times

A colleague called me to see the impressive double rainbow out of our windows.
I took a Picture and went to post it on Facebook.


Opening Facebook, I immediately fell on more and more pictures of the same, impressive double rainbow.

From Michela 









from Jen 









from Jonathan

from Luca 









from Laura 









from the bar where I'd better be now 









.... 

The double rainbow lasted less than 10 minutes and it was all over already. 

And that reminded the polemic question launched by Erik Qualman a couple of years ago: 
Do you still think that Social Media is a fad?

Perché la crisi?

Ecco un indizio: I Bonus dei dirigenti delle principali aziende quotate in borsa a Londra, sono cresciuti del 187% dal 2002, senza alcun legame con l'andamento del valore delle azienze da loro guidate.

Average bonuses for directors of FTSE 350 companies have risen by 187% since 2002, without a corresponding rise in share prices, new research suggests.
 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14781254 

 Insomma, perché la crisi?
 Perché chi comanda pensa ai cazzi suoi anziché a far correttamente il proprio lavoro.
 Io i bonus li tasserei tutti almeno al 60%!!!

Tranquilli!
