afternoon beloved Moleskine The author seems to have a profound influence on their tablet computers based cousins ??

Bruce Chatwin

has a lot to answer for. More specifically, it is responsible for an upcoming initial public offering (IPO) on the Italian Stock Exchange. It goes back to what I wrote in his book

The Songlines

. He came to Australia and was creating a workspace in a caravan. "With the obsessive cleanliness that goes with the beginning of a project," he wrote, "I have ordered three of my books stacks" of Paris. In France, these laptops are known as

Moleskine

:. "Moleskine", in this case, with its black rubber union Everytime I went to Paris, I would buy a new offer Stationery rue de l'Ancienne Comedie " Chatwin then relates how the laptops were made by a small company of Tours, whose owner has died and whose heirs sold the company. So it is assumed that the source of his beloved books had dried. What he did not know was that the company had been bought by a Milanese stationery has finally started to produce new laptops. And what he could not know that one day, the company trades on the stock exchange (April 3, to be exact). The IPO could value the company up to € 560 million (€ 473m).

regular users of their products to find information on pre-IPO interesting documents. The price of a Moleskine notebook, for example, is at least twice that of comparable products, so the company has an operating margin - 41.7% - to impress even the Apple children. The explanation, of course, is the basic ingredient of a Moleskine notebook - paper - is really cheap. (And it shows -. Since users quickly find pen)

Moleskine

The reason he gets away with charging so much a camera as insensitive, is that it is not so much the sale of a product as an ethos. Call it Chatwin syndrome: the illusion that has the portable type Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Picasso could use momentum grants panache and other desirable qualities the proud owner. And - who knows? - Maybe you're right

like Hemingway (or was Gertrude Stein?) Were used to say.

worse, some applications to take notes on what kind of infernal machine seem to be imitating the Moleskine. Penultimate, for example, has the audacity to play the graph paper is one of the specialties of the Moleskine, not to mention the soft covers small Moleskine notebooks.

men can run the world, but women are always fun in social networks to push back against sexism in mainstream culture,

For Hilary Bowman-Smart, the latest in a long list of evidence that suggests that women must change their behavior to prevent sexual violence was the last straw.

last week, Bowman-Smart, a student based in Melbourne and describes # feministkilljoy, did not hesitate to parody a tweet that she thought it was nonsense advice.

Soon # safetytipsforladies was shared by thousands of women who have chosen to use Twitter (and sense of humor) to push back against what they perceive as ignorance about of sexual violence - specifically, how they perpetrated and who is to blame.

And what began as a humble hashtag (now viral) Twitter Tumblr past artist Liz Chesterman created artwork done around some of the tweets and posted on his blog.

"I think the reason I went on Twitter (quite unexpected for me) is that it allows us to express a huge frustration for women to be told how to prevent rapists, rather than rapists are advised not to violate, "Smart-Bowman told the Guardian.

But what happens when the subject is not a national story - and when the offender is not important? Women use humor as a way to point the sexism, which, as Wired says Alice Marwick is still very dangerous - and the value of shouting. Consider Richards and "donglegate" If Adria


This is why seemingly small, individual acts of sexism - that innocent jokes dongle - Material. These "micro-aggressions" combine to strengthen the structural sexism. ARM and ordinary geeks expressing similar attitudes can not be radical activists ... but they are radical advocates of the status quo.

"Improvement comes despite a 50% increase in marketing spending to support the global launch of BlackBerry 10, its new software platform for smart phones.
