Digital Wars. E-book. Formato EPUB Charles Arthur - Hoepli, 2012 - Business & Technology
È il 1998 e il mondo digitale sta prendendo forma. In questo panorama in evoluzione si affermano tre aziende: Apple, Google e Microsoft. Erano aziende profondamente diverse tra loro e le attendeva una serie di aspre battaglie per il controllo del mercato: la tecnologia di ricerca, i lettori musicali portatili, gli smartphone e i tablet. Non potevano sapere quale sarebbe stata la prossima guerra: ma era un conflitto che avrebbe trasformato il mondo. Per sempre. Dalla fine degli anni Novanta fino alla morte di Steve Jobs, "Digital Wars" ripercorre ciascuna di queste battaglie e analizza le diverse culture aziendali dei tre colossi, decretando chi di loro ha trionfato su ciascun fronte. La posta in gioco è altissima, perché al vincitore spetta non solo una ricchezza smisurata, ma anche la possibilità di dominare un'area del panorama digitale, scalzare i rivali e plasmare il nostro futuro.
The duplicate death. E-book. Formato EPUB Arthur Charles Fox-Davies - Librorium Editions, 2023 -
Old Lord Madeley had taken unto himself a wife—one of the beautiful Sisters Alvarez of the Pavilion Theatre of Varieties and the other West-end halls. Whereat the world of Society wondered for ten days. His relatives never ceased to wonder.He was always called “Old Lord Madeley,” but as a matter of fact he had but turned the half-century some four or five years previously. The man and his history were curious. The twenty-fifth holder of the ancient Barony of Madeley, he was a legitimate scion of the Plantagenets and an illegitimate one of the Stuarts; and he had been born the youngest child of his parents’ marriage.In these later times the ancient and historic houses of Norman England have fallen upon impoverished days, and a younger son succeeds to but a pittance. The land is there for the eldest, but each generation leaves it more burdened than did its predecessor, and there is little if any margin realisable in hard cash.Such a pittance had been the fortune to which Charles de Bohun Fitz Aylwyn had succeeded at the death of his father. Hoarding his few poor hundreds per annum, he had turned his back upon the society into which he had been born, settled himself in dingy lodgings in Bloomsbury, and lapsed into an eccentric recluse, with not a single thought beyond the study of the science in which his soul delighted.
