In una prospettiva in cui si allarga vistosamente lo spettro della 'comunicazione', nel mentre si assottiglia la 'conoscenza' non solo mutano lavori e saperi tradizionali: di nuovi ne sorgono, nuove competenze sono richieste e divengono necessarie, e dunque val la pena di interrogarsi se ci troviamo davvero dinanzi a una svolta epocale, a una mutazione interna, tipologica dell'equilibrio fra scrittura e lettura che ha funzionato fin qui. - Gearing up for 2012 International AIDS Conference | The White House

Tiny netbooks and iPhones, which serve as portals to the cloud, contain more informational firepower than entire newsrooms possessed just two decades ago. And they are ginning content from their audiences in the form of social media or finding ways of making ambient information more useful. They are jaded in the way youth requires, but have the confidence that is a gift of their age as well. - Open Source Proves Elusive as a Business Model – NYTimes.com
European regulators view MySQL as sort of a database of the people, a low-cost alternative to Oracle’s costly proprietary products.

Zones are essentially the same as Drupal blocks, but they apply to nodes rather than the entire site.
