Falsi d'autore.

Si scopre che la foto in prima pagina della Stampa di oggi (Sarah Palin sulla copertina di Vogue) e' falsa. E' un lavoro di photoshop fatto su internet da qualcuno nel 2007, che di colpo e' stato pensato vero da quelli della Stampa (e del Corriere, nelle pagine internet).

Googlando per vogue cover si vede abbastanza chiaramente nella lista quali sono vere e quali sono false...mi chiedo come entrambi i piu' autorevoli quotidiani italiani non abbiamo fatto la stessa ricerca, o chiamato Vogue, o controllato in qualsiasi altro modo prima di titolare.

Hi Facebook,

It looks to me that the report is not about the my app violating the Terms of Use, but is actually about a user that

1) can't find how to remove the app.
2) can't find how to ask for help through the right channels.

I will be happy to assist the user, otherwise could you kindly point him/her towards the x button?

Kind regards,

PF

There is something evil in the way sometimes people in call centers answer saying "I am really sorry to hear that you ... I will do my best to..": no you are not, and no, you won't.
