I think they are to good to leave only to Italian speakers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              &lt;span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:serif;" &gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;You need a software to prepare cappuccino. All your friends prepare cappuccinos with their PCs, so it shouldn't be hard to find.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Windows, "life is great" version&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;   &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;CappuccinoMaker&lt;/i&gt; is a 200k .exe file, bundled with the GPL-licensed source code. It makes cappuccino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Windows, "life is great but you have choices to make" version&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;CappuccinoMakerPlus&lt;/i&gt; is an unofficial fork of CappuccinoMaker. It has an architecture based on plugins to enable many features that the standard CappuccinoMaker didn't have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Every day, around thirty plugins get written. Two work perfectly, eighteen make the system dangerously unstable and the remaining ten make the program silently fail silently with no other noticeable result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Windows, "money is my god" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;EasyCappuccino&lt;/i&gt; behaves exactly as CappuccinoMaker, but for some reason you don't know about the latter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;EasyCappuccino works egregiously, but it's a shareware: only $29.99. Until it's registered, on average one cappuccino out of three will have a mild aftertaste of sewage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Windows, "money and deviousness are my gods" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;EasyCappuccinoFree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; is COMPLETELY FREE!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It installs around ten pieces of software beteen trojans, spyware and adware, and you need an account on SmileyFaces.com to use it (just $4 per month, with phone backgrounds and ringtones included).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Windows, "pro" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;MasterCappuccinoXP&lt;/i&gt; is the perfect solution to all your hot-beverage needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It is based on AJAX and .net, and it requires Windows XP SP2 and 1.2GB of hard drive space. The authenticity certification daemon is shared between all MasterSoftwareXP programs, but it has a few slight incompatibilities with Windows Explorer and Flower Garden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Windows, "pro bucaneer" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;You download MASTER_CAPPUCCINO_XP_FULL_PLUGINS_V3.30_BY_HACKAD00D.zip on eMule. You unzip, and you get MasterCappuccinoXPComplete.rar and a text file praising warez and soft drugs. You unrar, and you get CappuccinoMaster_FULL.ace and a psychedelic tetris. You unace (!), and you get seven files:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;MASTCAPP.ass&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;MASTCAPP.fuc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;MASTCAPP.vip&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;MASTCAPP.coc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;MASTCAPP.suv&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;MASTCAPP.ror&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;MASTCAPP.lbm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;After some research, you discover it is a cd image of &lt;i&gt;MASTERBURNER&lt;/i&gt;, a burning software with bundled snowboard that kiddies love. You obtain it (passing through a reversed sequence of .ace, .zip and .rar files) and you finally get your program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once installed, you discover that your system became terribly slow, and you use only two functions:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;"File -&gt; Perform -&gt; Create -&gt; Cappuccino"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"&gt;and&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;"Save".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;But it's so professional that uninstalling it would feel bad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Windows, "pro -- cheated by bucaneers" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As before until CD burning, but it's the demo version. To get the registration code, you have to reach a warez site linked by a readme.txt, surf through thirty popups that can't be disabled and write to Rasmus Lino sending him five dollars.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;GNU/Linux, "life is great" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Courier New';"&gt;apt-get install cappuccino-prepare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:serif;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The program does what you need, it is configured through a simple text file, it has a pleasant GUI integrated in the desktop environment, and a command line to satisfy your scripting needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GNU/Linux, "life seems great" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;As before, but after installing you find out that the program is made of three executables (&lt;i&gt;milkboil&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;coffeeboil&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;liquidjoin&lt;/i&gt;) and a deamon (&lt;i&gt;cappuccinod&lt;/i&gt;). To specify your cappuccino, there are two configuration files in xml and one in a scripting meta-language in vogue in the eighties. Executables have to be run in the right order after launching the deamon, not before convincing it not to use port 80 to interface with clients -- you have the weird requirement of letting Apache use that port.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GNU/Linux, "let's make life great" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;As before, but&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:serif;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;apt-get install gnome-cappuccino&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;installs the graphic front-end. It interfaces with milkboil, coffeeboil and liquidjoin and launches cappuccinod when needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It works perfectly, but it needs the 0.07-license-to-kill version of cappuccino-maker: in your distro, they still have only the 0.05-trip-to-mars version.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GNU/Linux, "if you want it done, do it yourself" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;You download several hundreds megabytes of development tools, strange toolkits and weird libraries, then you try to compile the 0.07-license-to-kill version of cappuccino-prepare. You stop after a couple of hours, when you realize that it requires the bleeding edge SVN version of libpango, which requires the last version of the X server, running only with the latest drivers of your graphic card which require a custom patch to the -mm2 tree of the kernel...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GNU/Linux, "life is great but non-free" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;After installing a working version of cappuccino-prepare, you find out it only makes green tea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;To do cappuccino you have to download CappuccinoMaker.exe and use a binary tool that extracts parts of the code and creates, through a wrapper, a library that cappuccino-prepare can use to make cappuccino. Green tea is free, cappuccino is not; drink only green tea and complain with those who produce cappuccino but don't explain how they do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;GNU/Linux, "life is great but quarrelsome" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;There are five different forks of the original cappuccino-making program. Each of them has a different license, and different bugs and features. Three of the forks are included in your distro, two aren't but nobody dares to explain why -- it seems that everything is linked to a failed love story and a cheating episode. None of the forks looks more updated than the others, and when you ask which is the best one they start to flame each other and call you a nazi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;You took random parts of the code of each project and start to write &lt;i&gt;YITBCM&lt;/i&gt;, YITBCM Is The Best Cappuccino Maker.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:serif;" &gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;OS X, "life is great" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Cloudy is an Aqua application loosely based on the cappuccino-prepare code. Download, drag to Applications and forget about it until you want a cappuccino. When you pronounce the word "cappuccino", it auto-starts and shows a dialog saying "You talked about cappuccino: would you like one?".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It includes an esoterically beautiful icon and you can tune the transparency of the cup.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;OS X, "life is so and so" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;CappuccinoX&lt;/i&gt; is a brutal port of cappuccino-prepare. To compile this software and gnome-cappuccino, besides XCode you'll need a dozen development packages of the Fink project. The graphical front-end will work only after running the X server; you'll forget the wonders of the Aqua interface and you'll find buttons and menus of an indefinable gray and fonts with no antialiasing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Having a Mac and using such a horror gets you disheartened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;OS X, "money is my god" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;iCapp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; shares 90% of the code of Cloudy, but for some reason you don't know about the latter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;iCapp works egregiously and it has an incredibly sleek interface, but it's shareware: only $29.99. Until it's registered, on average one cappuccino out of five will have a mild aftertaste of sewage and an ironical window will elegantly hint at your stinginess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;OS X, "money is my god... but what about bucaneering?" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;You look for an iCapp serial number on serialz.to and you find a text file:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;"My dear pirate, iCapp is used by thirty people in the whole world: fifteen are relatives of the author, the other fifteen make cappuccino as a job and they regularly paid for the software. Since the Apple Cinema Display on which you're reading this cost you around 2.299 bucks, what about shelling out 29.99 more and BUY THE BLOODY PROGRAM?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The message goes on with an &lt;span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;unintelligible delirium that can be synthetized as "I've got better stuff to do than cracking this stuff." The signature baffles you: "HACKAD00D".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Prey to guilt and dismay at the absurdity of the situation, you take your credit card and pay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;OS X, "Vintage" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;MacCapp&lt;/i&gt; is a great cappuccino program, but it babbles about carbonlib and extensions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It works only with MacOS Classic: fortunately, you let it live besides OS X for this kind of situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Loading MacCapp requires three minutes of intense work, and at the end it looks like using Windows XP on a Sharp scientific calculator. On the other hand, it's a shareware: you can make ten cappuccinos with it. On the website, this wasn't explained because it's implicit that freely-downloadable software is shareware.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Google&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Google Cappuccino&lt;/i&gt; (Beta) makes cappuccinos on your browser. It only asks to know how many cappuccinos you make and when; if you wish, you can also offer them via gmail. Everything is misteriously free. Besides, cappuccinos are excellent: you feel there's something suspect about that, but you don't really know what it is...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Application, "life is great" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cre.am&lt;/i&gt; (2.0) (Beta) makes cappuccinos online. You don't need to login and it stores on the server up to fifty cappuccinos.

It requires Macromedia Shockwave and Internet Explorer 6; remember to disable your antivirus program before using it. If it doesn't work, reload the webpage and login again. This time, use the even digits of your social security number instead of the odd ones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Make Cappuccino with Provider&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt; is a free service for registered users of Provider for the first two months.

It really works!" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;If you join this group and annoy at least thirty friends inviting them to join, tomorrow morning a south-american drug dealer will ring at your door and give you the instructions to activate the "Cappuccino" button in your Facebook chat!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The "Send A Cappuccino" button will appear near to each contact. And we'll give you cool zebras for the background of your profile!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Facebook, "Join if u like capuchino" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's a group. You like cappuccino. Whatever, you join. Wow, kewl.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Facebook, "Hey, your friend needs you for an aubergine cappuccino: click here to help him!" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;CappucciniWorld - Zynga&lt;/i&gt; is a Facebook application making cappuccinos of any shape and size. You can do normal coffee right away; for cappuccinos, you need at least ten friends using the application; for chocolate toppings you need at least fifty; to garnish with drawings you need a hundred friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't worry: there are groups and petitions clamoring drawings even for people with few friends. It's just a question of time: since there are so many people, the CappucciniWorld developers will be certainly persuaded. And, since you're there, while you're signing the petition please also protest against violence on Escherichia Coli in Papuasia and against the cruel people who mercilessly skin lemons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every time you make a cappuccino, it gets photographed and sent to all your friends and relatives; also, the more cappuccinos you offer, the more you can make every day, in an unmatched caffeinic escalation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To make a cappuccino you have to click at least in ten places and confirm twelve times, making you reload the Facebook page at least four times to finally get to the flash page that actually creates cappuccinos. To see decently the animation of coffee blending with milk you need at least a quad-core processor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;iPhone, "take the risk" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;iCappuccino&lt;/i&gt; ($1.59) appears identical to "Cappuccini”, “iCappuccio”, “CappPhone” e “Stongah!” (all of them on the App Store); you don't understand why it costs $1.59 while all the others are between 79 cents and ten dollars. In the reviews, iCappuccini gets four stars from a user whose life got changed by the application; another user notes bitterly that instructions don't explain how to accelerate and brake in the bonus level. He curses Apple, Barack Obama and immigrants and threatens to come back to Nokia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;iPhone, "there's also the trial" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;iCappuccio&lt;/i&gt; ($0.79) makes cappuccinos exactly as iCappuccino does, but the LITE version is FREE!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weird banners offer cheap viagra, and the icon is covered by a "FREE!!!" overlay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other icons in the home screen snub it and contemptuously move a square away to avoid being infected but, apart from this, it works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, to avoid having class struggle in your iPhone main screen you shell out one dollar and buy the full version.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The day after and for the next six months, great offer: the application becomes free.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;iPhone, "there had to be a letdown" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cappuccini&lt;/i&gt; (FREE!) makes a cappuccino. Once.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want more, you can buy them via in-app purchase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But it uses the accelerometer and the compass to compute sun reflections on the foam, so it requires an iPhone 3GS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obviously you can't offer the cappuccinos you buy to anybody, but you can send people a photo of you drinking them. And post it on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, MobileMe and YouPorn (for the fetish-lovers).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;iPhone, "crafty advertising" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stongah!&lt;/i&gt; (FREE!) makes cappuccinos. To get to the option screen, you have to  pass through three advertisement screens for other applications of the same software house.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first one promises the most naked and hardest girls of the whole App Store; the second one promises the hardest and hottest, the third one the hottest and most naked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intrigued, you buy the one with hottest and most naked. It's a slideshow of eighties' girls in bikini, with back-combed hair and huge pixels, and a weird German music. Ah, wunderbar!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;jailbroken iPhone, "bucaneering has no limits" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You download iCappuccino, cracked version. Or, as they say now, "cured".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At launch, a multi-color screen greets you: "cracked by gunman85". The bootloaders of cracked games for Amiga turn in their grave, grumbling about bad taste.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, it works, even if sometimes it randomly hangs. Everytime you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you think you're hearing a threatening voice in the distance, and lights in your home go away for a fraction of a second. The first sunday of each month, the "Satan" contact appears in your contact list; yesterday morning you had to re-install everything because iTunes thought your iPhone was a first-generation iPod shuffle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But you spared one dollar and a half, and you laugh hard at Steve Jobs and at people spending a lot of money in useless stuff. Like costly smartphones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;jailbroken iPhone, Cidya, "rebuilding your OS from scratch" version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cappucciner&lt;/i&gt; makes cappuccinos. Optionally, you can add to your SMS messages an "also send a cappuccino" button. The app writes the number of prepared cappuccinos in your status bar. It can change the behavior of the "Home" button so that it makes a cappuccino instead of doing its normal job.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With separate packages, you can change the background to a cappuccino, make all icons cappuccino-like, change the system font with a cappuccino-ish font and you can make it generate a cappucciney gurgle during phone calls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's the perfect application.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, yesterday Apple released a new firmware version for your iPhone: you updated and re-installed Cappucciner, but now, when you try to make a cappuccino, the phone hangs whimpering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7116777440595345250-1122726563892037697?l=paralogismi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paralogismi.blogspot.com/feeds/1122726563892037697/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7116777440595345250&amp;postID=1122726563892037697' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7116777440595345250/posts/default/1122726563892037697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7116777440595345250/posts/default/1122726563892037697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paralogismi.blogspot.com/2010/01/this-is-english-translation-of-oracolos.html' title='Cappuccinos'/><author><name>della</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16873331731877660793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116777440595345250.post-2539202819415156418</id><published>2009-12-26T12:14:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-26T12:23:28.054+01:00</updated><title type='text'>I muri sono più pericolosi dei gruppi terroristici anni '70</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlNrPejMq-g/SzXw7dtYOkI/AAAAAAAABG0/UxBT9Rwewwc/s1600-h/bastamuri.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 105px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlNrPejMq-g/SzXw7dtYOkI/AAAAAAAABG0/UxBT9Rwewwc/s320/bastamuri.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419502630988167746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ho deciso di creare su Facebook un &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=221259844563"&gt;gruppo che, per una volta, invita al buon senso&lt;/a&gt;: eccone il manifesto.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:11px;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Sui muri appaiono costantemente nuove invettive e incoraggiamenti alla violenza, tesi a fomentare il clima d'odio e spingere le menti più deboli ad atti inqualificabili.

Di solito, mi trattengo dallo scrivere perché c'è sempre da qualche parte qualcuno che dice le cose che io ho in testa, però meglio.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ma questa volta il post proprio mi scappa. Dopo l'episodio della statuetta in faccia a Berlusconi, sento dire troppe cose che davvero mi disturbano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In primo luogo, ma questo è quasi banale, è stato un brutto episodio. BS è stato una vittima innocente (per quanto possa suonare ironica la parola "innocente" associata a lui). Gioirne è sbagliato da tutti i punti di vista: se vogliamo davvero difendere la costituzione e la democrazia che a quanto pare ci sono ancora, comportiamoci conseguentemente. E questo indipendentemente da quel che uno pensa (per chi non mi conosce: secondo me il nostro presidente del consiglio non è la causa di tutti i mali d'Italia. Ma ne è la sintesi). Ma questo è praticamente ovvio e non vale un post su un blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ma non sopporto proprio questo blaterare dell'intero arco costituzionale sul "clima d'odio". Sarebbe colpa di BS se si è preso la statuetta in faccia perché mi ha dato del coglione, sarebbe colpa di Di Pietro perché gli ha dato del dittatore, sarebbe financo &lt;a href="http://www.ilgiornale.it/interni/berlusconi_aggredito_dietro_violenza_ce_regia/14-12-2009/articolo-id=406675-page=0-comments=1" rel="nofollow"&gt;colpa di Casini perché ha detto che si sarebbe schierato contro di lui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;No, è colpa solo di Tartaglia. Possiamo giocare per ore al "se fosse": se BS non fosse un criminale, se Di Pietro fosse come Veltroni, se mio nonno avesse le ruote. Come se in una democrazia ideale nessuno dovesse incazzarsi mai, altrimenti a qualche squilibrato casomai salta la mosca al naso. No: l'incazzatura è fisiologica (fossimo tutti d'accordo, a che servirebbe tutto 'sto casino di elezioni e parlamenti?), ed è per questo che anche in posti più civili ministri e presidenti hanno la scorta (sarà da capire perché in questo caso non sia bastata, ma è un altro discorso).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Non confondiamo le (eventuali) cause con le responsabilità. La colpa di un gesto violento è di chi lo compie, e di chi lo incoraggia. Le critiche, aspre quanto volete, possono sì creare un clima teso, ma le responsabilità di chi passa alla violenza sono esclusivamente sue, e né BS né Di Pietro, per quanto ne so, hanno questa colpa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Per quanto il premier e Di Pietro pensino reciprocamente che l'altro dice bestialità, non solo hanno il diritto di non tacere. Ne hanno il dovere.

Ho appena finito di guardare una puntata con ampi spezzoni di &lt;a href="http://www.outfoxed.org"&gt;Outfoxed&lt;/a&gt;, un documentario su Murdoch... e non ho potuto fare a meno di pensare quanto l'influsso di Fox sugli USA fosse simile alla situazione italiana... Intendiamoci, il Partito Repubblicano e Forza Italia sparano cazzate improponibili del tutto diverse, ma le propagandano nella stessa identica maniera. In Italia Berlusconi fa la parte di Murdoch, e Berlusconi fa la parte del partito repubblicano.

Ora,alcuni degli sbirri della grammatica,  i "parolisti" alla Webster (dizionario, ndT) mi verranno a dire "ma non è neppure una parola!" Beh, chi mi conosce sa che non mi piacciono mica dizionari e libri di testo. Sono elitisti, sempre a dirci cosa è vero e cosa no, cosa è successo e cosa no. Chi è l'Enciclopedia Britannica per dirmi che il canale di Panama è stato costruito nel 1914? Se voglio dire che è successo nel 1941, è mio diritto!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non mi fido dei libri: sono solo informazioni senza cuore. Ed è proprio questo che sta sgretolando il nostro paese... perché dobbiamo renderci conto che siamo una nazione divisa. Non tra democratici e repubblicani, o conservatori e liberali, o tra chi sta su e chi sta giù. No, siamo divisi tra chi &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;pensa con la propria testa&lt;/span&gt; e chi &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sa le cose con il cuore&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se 'pensate' ad &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Miers"&gt;Harret Miers&lt;/a&gt;, è ovvio: la sua nomina è assurda. Ma il presidente non ha detto di aver 'pensato' alla sua selezione. Ha detto: (video, ndT) "conosco il suo cuore". Non ha mica detto nulla del suo cervello! Non ce n'era bisogno! Lui &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sente&lt;/span&gt; ciò che è vero su di lei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E l'Iraq? Se ci pensate, forse alle motivazioni per la guerra manca qualche cosetta. Ma non &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sentite&lt;/span&gt; che cacciare via Saddam sia la cosa giusta? Proprio qui, nella pancia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perché è da qui che viene la verità: dalla pancia. Lo sapevate che abbiamo più terminazioni nervose nello stomaco che nella testa? Andate a vedere! E lo so che qualcuno mi dirà "sono andato a vedere, e non è vero!" Caro mio, è perché sei andato a verificare su un &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;libro&lt;/span&gt;! La prossima volta, verifica nella tua pancia! Io l'ho fatto, e la mia pancia mi ha detto che il nostro sistema nervoso funziona così. Lo so che qualcuno tra voi potrebbe non fidarsi della sua pancia... non ancora. Ma con il mio aiuto, mi arriverete. La "verezza" è che chiunque può leggervi le notizie; io prometto di &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sentirle per voi&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7116777440595345250-3193083079559513184?l=paralogismi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paralogismi.blogspot.com/feeds/3193083079559513184/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7116777440595345250&amp;postID=3193083079559513184' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7116777440595345250/posts/default/3193083079559513184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7116777440595345250/posts/default/3193083079559513184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paralogismi.blogspot.com/2008/10/verezza.html' title='Verezza'/><author><name>della</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16873331731877660793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116777440595345250.post-1028185695158818264</id><published>2008-10-14T13:27:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T13:37:23.921+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Benvenuti ai miei paralogismi</title><content type='html'>Dice &lt;a href="http://www.demauroparavia.it/79309"&gt;Tullio De Mauro&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pa|ra|lo|gì|smo&lt;br /&gt;s.m.&lt;br /&gt;TS filos., ragionamento fallace con apparenza di verità e rigore, dovuto a imperfezione del procedimento logico e distinto dal sofisma in quanto l’errore non è intenzionale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quindi, benvenuti su questo blog che ospiterà le mie cretinate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Perché questo titolo?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perché "belinate", "imnsho" ed "imao" erano già presi. Il nome serve a ricordare che tutto ciò che scrivo non ha pretese di essere Verità, anche se magari ci credo. D'altronde, dovreste immaginarvelo, siamo su Internet. D'altra parte questo titolo farà da premessa per permettermi di usare quello stile saccente ed arrogante che tanto mi diverte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Cosa scriverai su questo blog?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boh. Il motivo per cui non ho aperto un blog finora è che non avrei avuto chiaro cosa scriverci e chi potrebbe essere interessato. D'altronde, un po' di volte mi è capitato di pensare "se avessi un blog, ci scriverei questa cosa". Ora il blog ce l'ho, e non lo aggiornerò per semplice pigrizia. Sicuramente non ci metterò i fattacci miei, quelli piuttosto finiranno su facebook.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7116777440595345250-1028185695158818264?l=paralogismi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paralogismi.blogspot.com/feeds/1028185695158818264/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7116777440595345250&amp;postID=1028185695158818264' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7116777440595345250/posts/default/1028185695158818264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7116777440595345250/posts/default/1028185695158818264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paralogismi.blogspot.com/2008/10/benvenuti-ai-miei-paralogismi.html' title='Benvenuti ai miei paralogismi'/><author><name>della</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16873331731877660793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
