Pour les geeks comme moi (hihi), je recommende un Blog que Thomas Landspurg (Webwag) m'a fait decouvrir. Il s'agit d'un blog connu en France, celui de Olivier Ezratty. C'est tres interessant, tres riche et tres documente. Vraiment chapeau a Mr Ezratty.

En fait, quand Thomas m'a dit son nom, je me suis empresse de l'oublier... la discussion tournait autour du rapport de Mr Ezratty sur sa visite au CES cette annee. Donc le rapport m'interessait et plus tard je le google. Je tombe sur un lien: http://www.lulu.com/content/2022116 et stupeur, je vois qu'il coute $74. L'avantage c'est que je retrouve aussi le nom d'Olvier et je cherche son blog que je trouve rapidement. Je trouve aussi son rapport et il explique pourquoi il est ... GRATUIT (http://www.oezratty.net/wordpress/2008/rapport-ces-2008/). Je suis franchement scandalise de voir que ce site, LULU.COM se permette de voler literalement $74 aux internautes et sans doute de ne rien reverser a Mr Ezratty.

Du coup, je l'ai signale a l'auteur... mais au dela, que faire? Envoyer un mail a lulu.com qui va gentiment ignorer la plainte? leur faire un proces?

Well... voice calls, ok we know. But also download funny ring tones, applications, games, etc. Expensive? Well, not always. Like for PC a bunch of content is now available for free. You have to be a bit techy and be ready to learn a few things but indeed, there is a lot for free out there. If you're interested, I can share a lot on this blog.

For now, if you want free interesting applications, just go there: www.getjar.com

Evenings are getting longer and I love this one as it's a perfect illustration of the a long summer end of day. Actually composed by a French composer, Napoleon Coste. Its title is: Les soirees d'Auteuil (evenings in Auteuil). For those of you who don't know, Auteuil is a place in Paris where there is a famous horse race tracks, Roland Garros (tennis courts where they host the French grand slam) and the Bois de Boulogne, a park with two lakes. So imagine yourself back in the 19th century, probably a charming tete-a-tete with a lovely lady...

I just watched an Inconvenient Truth (yes, ok, late in the game...). Indeed, a very good documentary that I strongly recommend. A very useful evangelization tool! But the issue with global warming is that it has become a moral crusade when it's actually a scientific and engineering problem. The "inconvenient truth" is that if we don't solve the problem with engineering and technical solutions, we're irreversibly lost... It is now almost certain that our kids and grandkids will never enjoy earth as we did. They will survive with machines and artificial environments until critical resources will be missing or become unaccessible. Yes, they will ask us why we haven't done anything.

No need to ask what happens in a decade from now... the picture was cut as there was just a mere string running... Although global warming can have a totally different impact which may bring us backward on the string

Still recovering from a World Cup final defeat to Italy, the nation of France turned its attention Monday to a soccer mystery: What insult had provoked a stoic star French player to butt an Italian defender suddenly, like a furious ram?

Ou plutot une Milonga, c'est a dire un tango argentin. Une belle musique de Jorge Cardoso. Pas tres dansant, mais je trouve tres envoutant...

A tango or I should say a Milonga, that is an Argentinian tango. A very nice music composed by Jorge Cardoso. Not really for dancing, and quite haunting melody...
