Le blog iPhone » Skype 2.0 permet les appels en 3G Comme il l'avait annoncé, l'éditeur du logiciel de voix sur IP Skype a mis à jour son application iPhone en version 2.0. Principale nouveauté : la possibilité de passer des appels Skype à l'aide d'une connexion 3G. Jusqu'ici, il fallait impérativement être connecté en WiFi pour profiter des communications voix. Skype 2.0 pour iPhone, proposé sous la forme d'une mise à jour gratuite sur l'App Store, comble donc une des principales lacunes de cette application. Il ne faudra toutefois pas oublier que les appels en voix sur IP ne sont pas forcément acceptés dans le cadre de votre forfait téléphonique. Jusqu'ici, il était possible de passer des appels Skype en 3G, mais il fallait pour cela avoir opéré le jailbreak de son terminal.

”A new WikiLeaks” revolts against Assange - DN.se The pressure on WikiLeaks is increasing. DN.se reveals that several key figures behind the website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive governmental, corporate, organizational or religious documents have resigned in protest against the controversial leader Julian Assange only to launch a new service for the so-called whistleblowers. The goal: to leak sensitive information to the public. The new project, “Openleaks,” has been under way for some time and will be launched Monday. “Our long term goal is to build a strong, transparent platform to support whistleblowers--both in terms of technology and politics--while at the same time encouraging others to start similar projects,” says a colleague wishing to remain anonymous. ”As a short-term goal, this is about completing the technical infrastructure and ensuring that the organization continues to be democratically governed by all its members, rather than limited to one group or individual.” Translation: Majsan Boström.

Le Grand Soir Declaration of open government imminent - Government 2.0 Taskfor The Federal Government will soon act on one of the Government 2.0 Taskforce's central recommendation in declaring an open government, according to Labour Senator, Kate Lundy. Speaking at the Gov 2.0 Expo in Washington D.C. this week, Lundy said the Special Minister of State, Senator Joe Ludwig, and Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Lindsay Tanner, would soon announce the declaration of open government on behalf of the Australian Government. Spokespeople for both Ludwig and Tanner were unable to confirm a date for the declaration. The Engage: Getting on with Government 2.0 report released by the Government 2.0 Taskforce in December last year stated that a declaration of open government at the highest level was "integral to the Government’s objectives including public sector reform, innovation and using the national investment in broadband to achieve an informed, connected and democratic community". According to the report, the declaration would ensure that:

MasterCard, Visa shut down electronic donations to WikiLeaks | Raw Story By Stephen C. WebsterTuesday, December 7, 2010 11:30 EDT EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: Mobile payments firm Xipwire, Inc. steps up to aid WikiLeaks The Philadelphia, PA-based mobile payments firm Xipwire, Inc. said Tuesday that it would act as an intermediary for WikiLeaks after the world’s largest credit card providers halted all electronic donations to the non-profit media outlet. “We do think people should be able to make their own decisions as to who they donate to,” Xipwire co-founder Sibyl Lindsay told Raw Story during a Tuesday afternoon telephone interview. The company has set up a page where WikiLeaks supporters can donate, saying it will waive all related fees. “Our motivation is really simple,” Xipwire founder Sharif Aleandre explained in an email. Lindsay added that WikiLeaks supporters would be able to donate either via their website, or via text message if they have a Xipwire account.

Le secrétariat d’Etat à l’économie numérique va t-il disparaitre Peut être vous souvenez-vous, il y a quelques mois, des questions que je me posais sur le rôle de Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet au sein de son secrétariat d’Etat à l’économie numérique, c’était certes un peu violent, mais l’histoire me donne raison et c’est loin de me faire plaisir. La conjoncture actuelle m’invite à revenir sur le bilan de NKM (ca va être rapide) et sur le devenir de son secrétariat d’Etat qu’elle chercherait actuellement à quitter, et ça aussi on va tenter de comprendre pourquoi. Commençons par le bilan : craintes confirmées, NKM a brillé par son absence systématique de tous les débats sur lesquels les internautes attendaient de sa part des propositions concrètes pour endiguer les ardeurs d’une frange minoritaire du Parlement qui compte mettre Internet sous le coup de lois martiales comme HADOPI ou LOPPSI. Du coup, c’est sur Hack45 qu’un bon coup de pied dans le cocotier a été donné initialement. Les rumeurs font état d’une volonté de NKM de quitter ce poste.

How Open Data Can Improve America's Health: Gov 2.0 Expo 2010 - Todd Park joined HHS as Chief Technology Officer in August 2009. In this role, he is responsible for helping HHS leadership harness the power of data, technology, and innovation to improve the health and welfare of the nation. Mr. WikiLeaks 'rape' victims had hidden agendas ... and I've seen the proof says Assange lawyer By Angella Johnson Updated: 09:11 GMT, 12 December 2010 Accused: Julian Assange is in a British jail, fighting extradition to Sweden WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s lawyer says he has seen secret police documents that prove the whistleblower is innocent of rape claims made against him by two women in Stockholm. Björn Hurtig, who is representing Mr Assange in Sweden, said the papers, which form part of the official Swedish investigation, reveal both women had ‘hidden agendas’ and lied about being coerced into having sex with Mr Assange, 39. The freedom of information crusader is being held in Wandsworth jail in London while fighting extradition to face the accusations, which his defenders say are part of a plot to stop him releasing more embarrassing information on his website about governments worldwide. Australian Mr Assange met both women at a seminar in Stockholm last August. ‘It was, I believe, more about jealousy and disappointment on their part.

Wikipedia in the Classroom: Tips for Effective Use May 26, 2010 By: John Orlando, PhD in Effective Teaching Strategies, Teaching with Technology Most academics consider Wikipedia the enemy and so forbid their students from using Wikipedia for research. There’s a reason that the Wikipedia entry normally comes in at the top of a Google search. Here are two ways to use Wikipedia to improve learning outcomes in your classes: Have Students Build Articles In the Spring of 2008, Professor Jon Beasley-Murray at University of British Columbia had the students in his class “Murder, Madness, and Mayhem: Latin American Literature in Translation” create articles for Wikipedia on the books that they read. Importantly, the students were instructed to make contact with the Wikipedia editors—called the “FA Team”—to receive feedback on their work for revisions. The results? Best yet, students can be given editing access to the page to add their own material. Recent Trackbacks 10 Ways Wikipedia Has Changed Education - OnlineCollegeCourses.com [...]

Praetorian Prefect | Anonymous Turns Operation Payback Toward “The Jester” Prefect | Dec 10, 2010 | 42 comments The Jester, a hacktivist who is normally known for short term denial of service attacks against Jihadist web forums and who recently claimed responsibility for an outage at Wikileaks in the middle of Cablegate (Wikileaks publication of U.S. diplomatic cables) has himself become the target of the large scale hacktivist protest called Operation Payback. The Jester, or th3j35t3r as he’s known on Twitter, has ostensibly had the identity of either himself or an associate/fan revealed as a Montana man who works for the state government named Robin Jackson, who is becoming the target of what could be a good deal of unpleasantness from Anonymous and the 4chan/b/ board at large. Why? Earlier today messages like these started to appear on the primary IRC channel being used by OperationPayback: 03[15:38] * Topic is ‘ Let´s find the guys that are trying to stop us. There appear to be two primary reasons Anonymous has turned their attention on this man. Overall Plan

Loi de Parkinson Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La loi de Parkinson pose que tout travail au sein d'une administration augmente jusqu’à occuper entièrement le temps qui lui est affecté. Elle concerne en particulier la multiplication inéluctable des fonctionnaires, et a d’abord été publiée par Cyril Northcote Parkinson le 19 novembre 1955 dans un article publié dans la revue The Economist et reprise ensuite avec neuf autres articles du même auteur dans un ouvrage intitulé Parkinson’s Law And Other Studies In Administration aux éditions The Riverside Press, en 1957. Cet ouvrage a été traduit en français par J. Contrairement à une idée très répandue, la loi de Parkinson n'est pas la définition de l’état gazeux ou loi des gaz appliquée au monde du travail.
