The photographs show Silvio Berlusconi grinning broadly as two young women kiss in front of him at
his Sardinian estate. But the same photographs threaten to embarrass the Italian prime minister on
the eve of the G8 summit of leading industrialised nations that he will host this week.
Google image search made toggling the SafeSearch option a
tiny bit easier, by including the settings switch menu right on the results page (instead of
linking to the settings page, where one has to toggle a radio button option and hit a save
button).* SafeSearch is Google’s adult content filter that can be turned off in most
countries, though interestingly enough not in (at least) Google China.
*I believe this is rather new, but don’t know when exactly it was added.
Roger Federer won his record 15th Grand Slam title when he outlasted Andy Roddick for his sixth

Yamaha MotoGP Garage Tour - Click above for a high-res image gallery
Access to the garage areas of MotoGP teams is limited to say the least, and all but the
highest-level passes will leave you trying to get a glimpse from afar while the mechanics
diligently work on the bikes throughout the weekend. Good fortune was with us, however. Yamaha was
kind enough to give us access to its garage so we could take a closer look at the inner-workings of
a MotoGP team.
While we couldn't spend too much time in any of the areas, we were amazed to see just how much goes
into simply setting up each garage. Space is at a premium, so everything is extremely well
organized. The workstations are incredibly clean, and some sections are even carpeted. Perhaps our
favorite part was getting a close look at the motorcycles and their components. Each bike is a
beautiful mass of carbon fiber, titanium, and CNC-machined parts. Yamaha allowed us to take photos,
so you can check out the two-wheeled rides of Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, and Colin Edwards for
yourselves in the high-res gallery below.
Alright, move along folks, nothing to see here. Remember that Palm Pre support
page that showed up on Dutch provider Hi's website? Seems like that'd indicative a possible
future collaboration, but according to a spokesman for KPN (of which Hi is a part), it's all a
misunderstanding. While not meant for public viewing at this time, the page in question was
apparently intended to explain what settings you'd need for using a Hi SIM card, whether you got
the device from them or via another provider. Still seems fishy, if you ask us. Of course, he added
the company is very interested in the Pre (as if we thought otherwise), but that nothing's been
announced at this time anywhere in Europe. Let's just hope that rumored UK
announcement pans out this week, and maybe the rest of the continent will follow suit.
Japan has always been legendary for its weird things, but just how weird can they get? Since you

Even for Japan, this is seriously seriously weird. Enjoy.

There are red faces in the UK today after it emerged that
private details about the incoming head of MI6 were posted to Facebook by his wife. The details
included information about John Sawers’ family, residence, vacations…and a photo of
Sawers in a Speedo.
Specific details revealed, according to the BBC, included the location of the London flat
where Sawers lives with his wife, plus the location of their children and John’s parents.
The page’s privacy settings were not turned on, meaning that anyone in Facebook’s
London network had access. Vacation photos, friendships and other details were also available on
Shelley Sawers’ Facebook page, which has
since been removed. The story originally broke in the
Mail on Sunday. Sawers is currently the UK Ambassador to the United Nations and is due to
take up his role as the head of MI6 in November.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband played down the issue today, saying on a morning talk
show: “You know he wears Speedo…I mean, that’s not a state secret”.
Incidentally, the error comes just as Facebook attempts a
transition from a private social network to being a more public, Twitter-like broadcast
channel.
During the last Ubuntu Translations Team IRC meeting was discussed how are we going
to use the Ubuntu Translations
(ubuntu-translations) umbrella project from Launchpad for handling translations errors and
issues. You can check the full log
here.
I will try to introduce you to the Ubuntu Translations project’s goals
and purpose.
Handling localization and internationalization issues
The main purpose of the new project is to help us handling localization and internationalization
bugs in Ubuntu.
Right now for each Ubuntu release we have hundreds of packages containing translations and
localization software. Most of them are language packs (GNOME and KDE) but we also have packages
dedicated to language support (reading and writing) .
From the point of view of a person dedicating his/her time to help i18n and l10n issues in
Ubuntu, subscribing to all those packages in order to receive a notification is not a practical
solution.
From the point of view of a person reporting a bug it is not trivial to report the bug in the
right place. Some translations are included in the language packs for each language,
some are included in the same package with the applications while some issues are related to a
metapackage.
This is why we recommend to report all Ubuntu localization and translation issues
for the Ubuntu Translations
(ubuntu-translations). From there it will be triaged and assigned to the right package and
person.
We also ask people triaging bugs to add Ubuntu Translations (ubuntu-translations)
project to all translations bugs from Ubuntu.
We recommend all persons who want to help with i18n/l10n issues to subscribe to bug mail of Ubuntu
Translations and will receive notification only for i18n/l10n bugs and issues.
Providing support for the translation process
Right now, questions and tasks regarding the Ubuntu translations process are addedÂ
in Rosetta Answers section. They include requests for adding a new Ubuntu localization team or
questions about packages not available for translation in Launchpad.
As those issues are not related to Rosetta we will use Ubuntu Translations (ubuntu-translations) to
handle them.
Tracking Ubuntu Translations development
We will use this new project for tracking all aspects regarding development of the Ubuntu
translations process.
If you find a problem in the current way we handle translations in Ubuntu or you have a
suggestion for how we can improve the Ubuntu Translations fell free to use the new Ubuntu Translations (ubuntu-translations)
project to address such issues.
So I moved an iphoto library for a family friend from the mbp's hard drive to an external hard
drive. The screensaver it is setup to shuffle the photos but now since it was moved there are weird
shapes and even money faces that appear on the pictures. Has anyone heard of this. I haven't not
gone over to see this yet and I have done some searches and found nothing about it.
