Inter Milan stayed on course for the Treble after wrapping up a fifth consecutive Serie A title on the final day of the Italian season.

Jose Mourinho's side protected their two-point lead over second-place Roma after a 1-0 away win at Siena.

While Roma won 2-0 away at Chievo, Inter secured their victory thanks to Diego Milito's second-half goal.

Earlier this month Inter beat Roma to win the Italian Cup and now face Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.

"The motivation of this squad has been to put all our force into every match of this championship. In the end the best team has won," 36-year-old captain Javier Zanetti told Sky TV.

Zanetti's Argentine compatriot Diego Milito finished coolly with the outside of his boot on 57 minutes after great work from his captain.

The striker, who has netted 22 Serie A goals in his first season since signing from Genoa, screamed with delight and could not stop running before being engulfed by joyous team mates.

Mirko Vucinic and Daniele De Rossi scored the goals for Roma - who would have been champions had the final games of the season finished at halftime.

Inter topped the final table on 82 points, two above Claudio Ranieri's Roma side.

Mourinho, who has been linked with a switch to Real Madrid, has openly acknowledged he is unhappy in Italian football but afterwards he insisted he has not made up his mind about next season.

"At this point, I am not thinking of myself, my only thoughts are Inter and my players," he told the club's television channel.

"After the final in Madrid, there will be time for me to be a little bit selfish for one, two or three days and I will think what makes me happier from a professional standpoint.

"But right now, I can say with 100% certainty that it's not true that I have one foot and a half at Real or that I am already the Real coach. In fact, I am very far away from being Real coach."

But Mourinho, who is under contract with Inter until June 2012, admitted he has not felt comfortable in Serie A.

"Several times this season, I have thought that this was not my natural habitat," he said. "That this was not the country to work in and be happy."

"But the best team has won the title. The tournament is made up of so many games and always the team that deserves it, wins. Although maybe it could have been easier."

And Mourinho is now determined to bring the Champions League trophy back to Milan next weekend.

"A historic week for Inter begins," he added. The season is over and to have won the scudetto and the Coppa Italia is always fantastic, even Bayern Munich has done that. But only one team can win the Champions League.

"Right now I don't have the energy to go and watch a Bayern DVD but from tomorrow onwards it will be back to work."

Inter's achievement of winning five scudettos in a row equals the record set by Juventus in the 1930s but one of Inter's championships could yet be struck off.

They received the 2006 title in a courtroom after original winners Juventus were demoted in a match-fixing scandal.

New evidence has emerged in the criminal trial linked to the match-fixing affair which Juve claim shows for the first time that Inter were implicated in the scandal and so the 2006 title should be stripped from them as well. Inter deny wrongdoing.

Sampdoria were also celebrating after a 1-0 home win over Napoli secured the fourth and final Champions League qualifying spot.

    • Hands on: SEENDA SKM64-3 rechargeable Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse by Steven Parker SEENDA invited me to try out their SKM64-3 rechargeable Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, and I was intrigued by the looks of it, being a full keyboard with a numpad. It comes in several colors, namely Black, Black Gray, Black Blue, Black Rose Gold, and White Silver. The variant they sent me is the Black and Gray version. Before we get underway, I should mention the manufacturer's highlights of this keyboard: Comfortable Quiet Typing With an 8° angle and a larger key design, you can enjoy comfortable and smooth typing. The scissor-switch keys also help reduce typing noise. Noiseless Smooth Clicking. This mouse is designed for clicking and scrolling noise reduction. 3 Adjustable DPI enables you to control the cursor speed that you like. Type-C Rechargeable Built-in rechargeable battery, this product can work for up to 200 hours. Auto-sleep mode and on/off design also keep low consumption. Protective Cover Gift The SEENDA keyboard comes with a silicone cover present to enhance the typing experience, also to prevent accidental splashes of water, coffee, dust, etc. The keyboard, which uses scissor switches to keep the noise down, is designed to be used both on Windows and Mac with the corresponding keys in the right places, and there's even a function keys row, which is usually not there in portable Bluetooth keyboards. The keyboard is just 0.12 inches (30.4mm) thick at its thinnest point and 0.62 inches (1.57cm) at the back, giving it (in my opinion) a rather comfortable 8° angle. I used it to round off a recent Mini PC review and found it comfortable to type on. Pairing over Bluetooth was quick and easy, although it is also possible to just use it wired over the USB Type-C port. The Keyboard and Mouse combo further utilizes two distinct Bluetooth channels, allowing you to connect to three devices simultaneously, which can also be enabled or disabled on the keyboard device selector buttons on the top right and underneath the mouse. The mouse reminds me of the very brief periods when I owned an Apple Magic Mouse, and on using it, I found it to be effective enough, but I missed having a "back" button at my disposal, which means it would not be my first choice while using it for reviews. At only 0.9 inches (2.28cm) in height, it also felt a little too small in my large hands. If you have small hands, this might be perfect for you, though! In addition, the mouse features three DPI levels (1000 / 1600 / 2400), which let you adjust the cursor speed based on your own preference. The keyboard and mouse have a rechargeable battery under the hood, so you will not need to be reaching for replacement batteries, as one full charge provides 200 hours of use (that's 8 and a bit days!) and that is after three hours of charging from zero. SEENDA also includes a user manual, a dongle, a Type-A to Type-C USB cable, and a protective cover in the box. It is made from silicone and looks quite attractive. Where it might be lacking is that it does not feature any backlighting. A feature that I personally find important (it's also why I own a portable MX Keys and Mouse combo), so if you find that important, you will have to look for more expensive options. I think it all looks very premium, but from my brief couple of weeks of use, it is impossible to say how it will go the distance. Still, I think anyone reading this will agree with me that the asking price is worth the gamble, if you are on the lookout for a combo that checks the boxes for you. Yes, as I suggested in the last paragraph, this combo, available in five different colors, is not expensive either. The variant I have is currently listed on Amazon for $37.98, and that's after a 24% discount from its $49.98 MSRP. However, other colors do have different prices (listed below). The Good Ultra-thin design Looks premium Quiet Simultaneous multi-device support (up to 3) The Bad No keyboard backlight No back button on the mouse Verdict 8 out of 10 You can pick up the SKM64-3 rechargeable Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse on Amazon for $37.98 at the links below: in Black Gray for $37.98 (24% off) in Black for $39.98 (20% off) in Black Blue for $42.98 (19% off) in Black Rose Gold for $42.98 (19% off) in White Silver for $42.98 (19% off) The keyboard comes standard with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.

    • This mindblowing project lets you run Windows XP on the web by Usama Jawad Just yesterday, I was reminiscing the time when one of the most exciting components of my Windows installation to me was the preinstalled games like Pinball 3D - Space Cadet, Solitaire, Minesweeper. It seems like the universe heard my lament because the internet has surfaced a fascinating project that allows you to run Windows XP on the web, complete with the boot-up/loading screen. Over on Reddit's r/windows forum, someone has showcased their effort to get Windows XP running in the browser. This includes a full-fledged file system, executable programs, third-party applications, legacy dialog boxes, and more. It is important to note that this is obviously not an actual operating system being emulated in a browser (nor is it a concept video like Windows Classic Remastered), it's a simulated version built using web technologies. However, it's pretty impressive and you'd be forgiven for believing that it's the real thing. I played around with it a bit and found it to be a surprisingly accurate recreation of the classic operating system. There are a few inconsistencies here and there, but they are pretty minor. It's also important to highlight that not all components of this recreation are functional; pressing some buttons just won't do anything. But for now, I'm just giddy with joy at the fact that my nostalgic self can relive my memories of using Paint, the My Computer interface, Minesweeper, and more. Even IE elements load with artifical lag, hehe The talented developer behind this project is u/ducbao414, and the official name of the project is Win32.run. It is very easy to launch the project on the web as you can access it via the Win32.run URL. The creator says that they made this project a few years back when learning Svelte (it also leverages Tailwindcss), but the initiative has now been abandoned because breaking changes in SvelteKit releases made it difficult to expand on the existing capabilities. Following this discontinuation of Win32.run, the developer moved to NextJS, but the project is still accessible in its current state and can also be located on GitHub. Of course, Win32.run does not offer any real-world benefit except providing a nostalgic walk down the memory lane for those of us craving it. It's unfortunate the project has been discontinued, but it's certainly fascinating what you can accomplish with a creative mind, a talent for coding, and some time.
    • Windows 11 gets graphics and Firewall fixes in build 26100.4767 by Taras Buria Following the new Windows 11 Canary build released for Windows Insiders earlier today, Microsoft pushed a small update for those testing preview builds in the Release Preview Channel. Build 26100.4767 (KB5062663) is out with a few additional fixes for build 26100.4762, which arrived one week ago. Here is what Microsoft fixed in today's update: [Graphics] Fixed: An issue where external graphics cards connected through Thunderbolt weren’t always recognized in some cases. [Input (know issue)] Fixed: An issue when using the Microsoft Changjie IME (input method editor) for Traditional Chinese might cause problems such as not being able to form or select words, an unresponsive spacebar or blank key, incorrect word output, or a broken candidate window display. This can occur after installing KB5062553. Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects Phonetic input methods, including the Hindi Phonetic Input keyboard and the Marathi Phonetic keyboard, which might not work correctly after installing KB5062553. [Group Policy Editor] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where the Group Policy Editor shows error messages like “No element was expected but found” or “Encountered an unknown error” when opened. [Windows Firewall] Fixed: This update addresses an issue found in Event Viewer as Event 2042 for Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. The event appears as “Config Read Failed” with the message “More data is available.” For more information about this issue, see “Error events are logged for Windows Firewall” in the Windows Health Dashboard. You can find the updated announcement post on the official Windows Blog website. All these changes are expected later this month as part of the July 2025 non-security update for Windows 11.
