Wehee! Finally some justice.
The idiot, who has been a British resident since 2000, allegedly “forgot” to declare revenues from sponsorship or his team to either British or Italian authorities from 2000 till 2004.
I wonder why all rich and famous people think law doesn’t apply to them?
He is now facing a 112 million euros fine which, honestly, I don’t know how he is going to pay.
Well done, Valentino!
F*** Y**, repubblica.it
Published July 21, 2007I have been waiting for the latest Harry Potter novel for over a year now, I dont consider myself a huge “fan” but I do enjoy reading the books, and last night (the release day of the seventh and last episode) I find a HUGE spoiler on the repubblica.it homepage telling exactly how the story ends. If I could spit on the author of that article, I would.
They removed it now, after probably 2 million emails from angered fans, but I took a screenshot to show everyone how LOW people can get. Click here to see it.
*update*: I am glad to see they are receiving loads of negative feedback from the italian Blog community, both from Harry Potter fans and casual readers. Check it out here.
Windows Vista? No Thanks!
Published December 13, 2006Nice review of the upcoming Micro$oft operating system from the Wired News webmagazine:
Why You Don’t Need Vista Now!
My favourite part of the article:
When I tried to plug in my peripherals, my troubles with Vista began. Since I was missing a 5.1 sound driver for my speakers, an audio device error screen appeared when I connected speakers to the PC. I had to plug in a set of headphones in place of my speakers to get the sound to work.
Also, Vista didn’t recognize my Hewlett-Packard Deskjet 5150 printer when it ran the initial peripheral-compatibility check. When I tried to load the printer driver software anyway, it would not install. A Google search did not reveal any readily available drivers, so I gave up. I ran into the same problem when I tried to install my Logitech webcam — the driver wouldn’t load.
Excellent work, uncle Bill! :D
