I bought my first mac, on September 28, 2009. Elegance, power, and ability to have the best of both world (Unix & Great Graphics) simply made my choice of moving to a mac an easy decision. Yesterday on my way back to Minneapolis after WikiSym conference I found out that Steve Jobs lost his battle against the cancer. I am Sad to hear the lost of world’s greatest designer & a visionary. I feel I am lucky to be born in this era to experience Steve Jobs creations. RIP Steve Jobs, You changed the way we think.

This shows the power of the wikipedia, Yesterday I was working on putting together some research questions to the project that I plan to work with Paolo Massa and checked my wikipedia user page on italian wiki. First I didn’t understand what was written so I translated and I realized that Italian Wiki has started to protest against the new wire tap act. This shows the power of open collaboration and especially in wikipedia.
