Carte: les câbles sous-marins en un plan de métro d'Internet. Nous imaginons habituellement Internet comme un réseau.
Son filet interconnecté permet aux données et aux idées de se répandre à travers le monde. Mais Mark Graham et Stefano De Sabbata du Oxford Internet Institute aiment réimaginer cette métaphore à travers des visualisations. Et cette fois-ci ils ont créé une carte de métro de l'Internet en se basant sur le réseau de câbles à fibre optique sous-marins La carte en haute résolution ici. Chaque arrêt de métro est un nœud (un endroit où des données sont envoyées et reçues comme un fournisseur de service Internet) assigné à un pays.
Ils ont récupéré les informations sur les nœuds sur Cablemap.info. La carte utilise aussi des symboles pour signaler que certains pays ont été identifiés comme des ennemis de l'Internet par Reporters sans frontières. Par exemple, le Sénégal est le troisième pays le plus central du réseau mondial parce que la plupart des câbles du sud de l'Atlantique y émergent. Lily Hay Newman Traduit et adapté par G.F.

Kill the DRM in Your Old iTunes Music Purchases. Photo: Josh Valcarcel/WIRED In 2009, Apple finally decided to drop DRM from the iTunes music library.
That didn’t help much with songs purchased before that decision, however. Fortunately, if you still have these crippled tracks sitting in your library, there’s an easy way to kill the DRM with a few steps. It used to be that most digital music was riddled with DRM. Terrified music labels essentially decided we were all thieves and couldn’t be trusted. First navigate to iTunes in the menu bar and select Preferences. Let’s make sure those protected songs are ready for download. To find all your “protected” music in iTunes, in the List view click on “Kind” to order your music by the type of file it is.

C'est pourquoi Insertech a lancé sa campagne de sensibilisation environnementale «Reconditionner, c'est bon pour tout le monde!». The Secret Behind Pixar’s Storytelling Process. Fast Company has an excerpt from Creativity, Inc., the new book by Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull (with Amy Wallace), which goes inside the creative process at the studio.
Catmull attributes much of their creative success to their internal process for continually refining stories. It includes meetings with the Braintrust, a group of executives, directors and other storytellers who are assigned to objectively critique the work—but only as suggestions for the director to accept or dismiss on her own: To understand why the Braintrust is so central to Pixar, you have to start with a basic truth: People who take on complicated creative projects become lost at some point in the process.
