Internet et la Chine révolutionnent le marché de l'art (aussi) Sur le marché de l'art en France, la date du 13 janvier 2012 - la perte du triple A - risque de s'effacer rapidement au profit de celle du 18. C'est le jour choisi par l'étonnant patron d'Artprice, Thierry Ehrmann, pour lancer des ventes aux enchères d'art en ligne.

Web standards checklist Date: 13 August 2004 Author: Russ Weakley Web standards – more than just ‘table-free sites’ The term web standards can mean different things to different people.

The story seems familiar—a duo of young entrepreneurs started the company and modeled it on a problem they had. They worked nights and weekends and hired a team to help make their vision a reality. One year later, the company sold to Skype for tens of millions of dollars. GroupMe is one of thousands of examples of businesses created in today’s information economy that use technology to solve a problem.
