• Letteratura e informatica – Treccani Portale
  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.

• Typography on the Web: Questions for Jeffrey Zeldman—Part 1
  The difficulty has to do with the fear of piracy. Thus, while modern versions of Safari, Firefox, and Opera all support @font-face embedding of TrueType and OpenType fonts, Microsoft's Internet Explorer only supports @font-face embedding of Embedded OpenType (.EOT), a format that embeds fonts on the page but obscures them so they cannot be pirated.

• Una morte "percepita" – Treccani Portale
  A essere in pericolo non è il congiuntivo, bensì il dovere del dubbio, la capacità di parlare in termini di possibilità e non di sole (e improbabili) certezze, la credibilità di una classe dirigente abituata da almeno quindici anni a vendere slogan al futuro (faremo, costruiremo, approveremo) e non speranze al congiuntivo (che si possa, che si riesca, che funzioni).
• Se li azzecca pure Homer Simpson… – Treccani Portale
  Da decenni, con geometrica regolarità, commentatori più o meno autorevoli tessono, contemporaneamente, l’elogio e il necrologio del congiuntivo, esaltandone le qualità raffinate e constatandone, contemporaneamente, il decesso o l’irreversibile agonia, in particolare nell’italiano parlato.

• Perfect Pitch
  So let’s get this straight. In a discussion about perfect pitch, someone mentions the website perfectpitch.com. They don’t repost any materials from the site. They don’t even link to the site. They don’t really say anything particularly disparaging. But it all takes is for the owner of perfectpitch.com to abuse the Digitial Millenium Copyright Act with a spurious complaint and just like that, Google removes the discussion from its search index.
