In the campaign, Microsoft encourages users to switch over from Gmail to Outlook.com . By going to the campaign site www.scroogled.com , users can sign a petition addressed to Google’s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, saying, “Please stop reading the contents of our Gmail to sell ads .” Some experts are saying that this negative campaign, very common in politics, is hurting Microsoft and that the campaign isn’t gaining traction. In this week’s article I wanted to give you a better overview of what the campaign is all about and the current momentum.

The advertisements warned holiday shoppers that searching for products on Google Shopping would not give you true results – instead of giving you the most relevant search results, Google’s “pay-to-rank” practice would return products based on which advertiser paid Google the most. Users were encouraged to switch to Bing that guaranteed true search results. The current and second “Scroogled!” campaign was launched February 6th , 2013. In this wave of the campaign Microsoft encourages people to switch over from Google’s email service Gmail to their own, newly launched Outlook.com by informing people about the privacy risks in Gmail.

Italiani costruttori di ponti, strade, infrastrutture, palazzi. Italiani civilizzatori. Italiani edificatori di pace, benessere, modernità. Ma questa visione delineata corrisponde alla realtà dei fatti? Gli italiani sono stati davvero brava gente in Africa? Nella dichiarazioni spesso vengono anche azzardati parallelismi paradossali tra la situazione attuale e quella passata delle ex colonie italiane. Si ribadisce con una certa veemenza che Libia, Etiopia, Somalia ed Eritrea tutto sommato stavano meglio quando stavano peggio, cioè dominati e colonizzati dagli italiani.

    Asmara’s Colonial Heritage: Preserving a problematic chapter in the history and the building of a nation R6 Anne Marte Aure Brent Patterson 1 July 2020 Cover page Asmarinos back at the once forbidden Market Square. Courtesy Sami Sallinen.1 1 https://samisallinen.photodeck.com/-/galleries/asmara CONTENTS Asmara under Italian occupation 4 Eritrea fghting for independence 16 Underlying values in heritage politics 19 Asmara’s heritage conservation facing UNESCO’s 21 European bias Conclusion 25 Bibliography 27 Asmara under Italian occupation The boundaries of Eritrea were, as was the case for other post-colonial countries, established during the “Scramble for Africa” in the late 19th century. Eritrea became an Italian colony in 1889 with the port of Massa- wa on the Red Sea as its frst capital. Six years later, Asmara became the new capital when the Italian government merged four existing villages into one. Located 2000 metres above sea level, the surrounding highlands offered milder climatic conditions and better water supply than the initial capital. With plenty of land and few people, Italy’s Eritrean colony was seen as “an absolutely new country” that was to be peacefully built by hard-working Italian families.2 At this time, Italy was struggling with poverty and the lack of land pri- marily in the southern parts of the country. As a direct consequence, a signifcant number of poor peasants began leaving for the Americas. The Italian Prime Minister, Francesco Crispi, was worried about the de- mographic development and the consequences this could have for the building of the Italian nation.3 In his speeches, he played upon national- ist and expansionist rhetoric where reproduction and expanding borders would be necessary to survive.
