Just a couple more stops until the Death Star. @sean_voegeli Many of our employees live a long way from the office. One of our designers has a particularly hellish trek. Instead of whining about it — or just staring at his phone like the rest of us — he started making it a #creativecommute. Sean Voegeli* is a talented illustrator, avid Instagrammer, and loyal Star Wars fan. He combines his passions into clever mash-ups of illustration and photography featuring some well-known characters, and a few new ones. First, where can we find your work? What tools do you use? I like Adobe Draw a lot. How has your #creativecommute affected your day? On the way home, it’s a good way to unwind and transition into dad-mode. How do you decide what to draw? Which comes first, illustration or photo? How long does each piece take to make? Why Instagram? Do you have a favorite piece? “All strollers and droids must enter through the gate please.”
And this one. So we dare you. Motorola Droid launching November 6th. 12:06pm, Oct 27. A Googler: No spare time? Here's the... 12:28pm, Oct 23. Cédric Trémintin: Seenow : transformer votre... C’est aussi des milliards de visages. Nous avons lancé une nouvelle fonctionnalité "Personnes présentes sur la photo" qui vous permet maintenant de mettre des noms sur des visages de membres de l’univers Flickr. Cet outil va donc vous faciliter la vie pour mettre en avant des membres que vous avez photographiés ; il permet d’ajouter un membre sur une photo, trouver des photos de personnes que vous connaissez et de gérer les photos où vous êtes déjà présent(e).
Pas mal, non? Pour ajouter quelqu’un sur une photo, il suffit de saisir le nom de ce membre dans le champ dédié sous la rubrique "Personnes présentes sur cette photo" à droite de la page photo ou alors dessiner un cadre autour de son visage pour ajouter une note directement sur la photo en question. C’est une technique très simple si vous avez l’habitude d’ajouter des notes personnelles sur les photos de vos contacts sur Flickr. Mais vous vous dîtes peut être : "Hey, moi sur une photo ?
". Ne vous inquiétez pas. Envoyé par FlickrPermalien. Blog: Q&A with Rory Sutherland: An advertarian's take o. The TED Blog caught up with ad man Rory Sutherland the evening before we posted his TEDTalk. Drawing on the work of behavioral economists, Nobel Prize winners and others, he talked at length about his personal philosophy of Advertarianism, about President Obama and the healthcare debate, and even threw in some analysis on the future of media use and advertising. Not bad, considering it was well past bedtime in the UK. You call yourself an “Advertarian.” Would you like to explain what that means?
Now, there’s a thought experiment that behavioral economists perform, one in which a man invents a brilliant new way for scanning X-rays — so you can do cancer scans and X-rays at one tenth of the previous cost and at twice the speed — and everybody heralds him as a hero. And I have a parallel example, where I say, “Imagine there’s a device that costs about 50p per household, per year, and if you install it in your house, it decreases the chance of a house fire by 30 percent.” Yes, exactly that.

How Last.fm inspired a scientific breakthrough | Victor Keegan | The music radio site Last.fm is one of the great ideas from the UK during the first dotcom boom. Users can listen to their own songs and other tracks recommended by Last.fm's algorithms based on their tastes, including iTunes, and those of friends.
It could easily have been a one-trick pony. But now a few academics have applied its serendipity to scientific research. Why can't researchers, instead of waiting anywhere up to three years for their papers to jump all the hurdles, be part of a real-time market place – a fusion of iTunes and Last.fm for science? How does it work? This startup is fascinating for a few reasons.
Small wonder that it has already got some of the world's leading universities on board, including Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge and Imperial, all by word of mouth. TED: Siftable Computing Makes Digital Data Physical | Epicenter. Those MIT Media Lab geeks are on a roll. Following Wednesday’s presentation at the TED conference on the Lab’s "sixth sense" project, another MIT student in the Lab’s "siftable" computing group spoke Friday afternoon at TED about digital cubes he and another student have created that interact with one another.
David Merrill, a graduate research assistant at the lab, said the idea for the cubes came from the concept of sifting and sorting things with your hands, like photos spread out on a table. "We thought wouldn’t it be cool if you could interact with digital things like this," Merrill said. "We wanted to make a physical embodiment for any piece of digital data. " He and fellow student, Jeevan Kalanithi, have been developing the cubes for a year. They created small plastic cubes about one inch in size with screens, processors and infrared ports that communicate with one another in pre-programmed ways when placed next to one another. The cubes are also motion-sensitive. Qui sont vraiment les jeunes ? Ubuntu 9.10 vs. Mac OS X Snow Leopard vs. Windows 7 | TECH SOURC.

What will a technology-driven world look like 10, 50, or even 100 years from now? Those are questions that some of the most inventive and outrageous thinkers around have been addressing at the yearly TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference. TED presenters have been wowing audiences with their future-tech ideas for a long time, and many of these talks are freely available on the web. So here’s a taster-menu of five great TED talks on how technology might influence the future. I’ve used a few simple rules in selecting the talks: - Was I hooked within the first few seconds? Some of the ideas here are more speculation than science, so you might want to wear your skeptic glasses while watching. 1.

OneSwarm : du P2P au F2F pour une vie privée renforcée - PC INpa. Une équipe de chercheurs de l’Université de Washington développe actuellement un client d’échange de fichier nommé OneSwarm.
Il est rétrocompatible Bittorrent, mais possède surtout une panoplie d’outils F2F ou Friend to Friend (ami à ami) permettant d’échanger loin des yeux et du cœur de systèmes surveillés. « Bien que largement utilisées, les applications peer-to-peer (P2P) sont limitées par des risques d’atteinte au respect de la vie privée des utilisateurs. Par conception, les services comme BitTorrent, Gnutella partagent des données avec tous ceux qui en font la demande, permettant à une tierce partie de suivre systématiquement le comportement de l'utilisateur. En conséquence, les réseaux P2P ne peuvent être exploités de manière sécurisée que par ceux qui n'ont rien à craindre de la connaissance publique de leurs activités » tacle la fiche présentant OneSwarm. Comble du raffinement, les données audio et vidéo sont accessibles avant la fin du téléchargement.
Facebook privacy: a guide - Ars Technica. Everywhere you look (even here at Ars), there are articles about people making poor decisions about what kinds of info and how much to share on sites like Facebook. The Internet is no longer a place where you can hide out easily—friends, family, and employers are all lurking, reading your embarrassing status updates and checking up on those drunken pictures from last week. And that's just the beginning—the world of social networking is a feeding ground for identity thieves and stalkers, too.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Many users are aware that Facebook has numerous privacy controls, for example, but even the most experienced Facebook users often don't know just how much they can control who sees what. For instance, did you know that you can specify exactly who can see your status updates, down to different groups of friends (not just "friends" versus "everyone")? What about controlling which groups of people can even find you in a Facebook search to begin with? No. Conclusion. 40 Years after Woodstock, a gentler generation gap « Fredzimny’s.

Although many seasoned RSS users have a standalone RSS reader of choice, many people use Firefox to read their RSS feeds. Besides the standard Live Bookmark feature, there are several more advanced RSS addons for Firefox out there, some of them being developed for years now.
Time to round them up and see what they have to offer. Wizz Wizz definitely deserves the title of a "full-featured RSS reader". There's also the ability to import/export to OPML, integration with live bookmarks, as well as the ability to save/search RSS feeds and create watch lists. So, while the features are obviously there, is there anything bad about Wizz? RSS Ticker If Live Bookmarks are good enough for you, you can use RSS Ticker for a quick overview of what's new without actually having to open the feeds themselves.
Sage Beatnik BlogRovr. Windows 7 : comment Microsoft veut faire oublier Vista (Introduc. La Release Candidate publique de Windows 7 est là depuis plusieurs semaines et il est temps de faire un point sur ce système d’exploitation tout nouveau que nous propose Microsoft. Tout nouveau ? En fait non, car Windows 7 hérite de bien des composants et des technologies de Vista sans que l’on puisse dire toutefois qu’il s’agit de la même chose. Et pour cause, Windows 7 va venir tranquillement s’installer sur les restes d’une aventure que beaucoup considèrent comme un échec. Au centre de bien des polémiques, le dernier né des Windows n’a pas marché comme Microsoft l’aurait souhaité. Pourquoi ? Premièrement, Vista est le résultat d’une genèse laborieuse. Deuxièmement, alors même que le chantier prenait des allures de monstre chronophage, Microsoft s’est pratiquement tiré une autre balle dans le pied à cause d’une communication qui ne bénéficiait d’aucune maitrise.
Par la suite, au terme d’une longue série de versions de tests, la mouture commerciale a fait son apparition. iZaRia.us - Free Music. Nikola Tesla still alive after death. Nikola Tesla is the man responsible for every form of modern technology we have available to us today. There would be no Twittering, Googling, BlackBerrys, cell phones, satellites in space, airplanes, x-rays, or physics as we know it. Did anyone remember Nikola Tesla on his birthday today? Nicolas Tesla was born on July 9th, 1856 at Midnight. One man certainly remembered Nikola Tesla this week, Dr. It’s fascinating that Tesla has more notoriety for the lack of attribution given him than all his works combined.
Many consider that the most obvious of reasons was that his inventions were way too progressive for the technical resources available and much too far advanced for humanity’s collective psyche at the time. Tesla told Morgan, "When wireless is fully applied, the earth will be converted into a huge brain, capable of response in every one of its parts. " Tesla obviously predicted the birth of the Internet and our computers. Teleautomaton "In his lab at 46 E. Was he joking? Resources: Des trackers BitTorrent libres bientôt interconnectés - Numerama. C'est une constante dans toute l'histoire du P2P. A chaque fois qu'un outil d'échange de fichiers populaire a fermé, une solution plus difficile à contrôler et plus efficace pour les utilisateurs a pris la suite.
Napster avait pour faille d'être très centralisé. Il a été remplacé par Kazaa, qui avait le tort d'être édité par une société commerciale condamnée en justice. Lui-même a été remplacé par eMule et par BitTorrent, qui ne sont contrôlés par aucune entité commerciale et ne présentent donc aucun point névralgique... The Pirate Bay, dont le tracker est utilisé selon des études par la moitié des .torrents diffusés dans le monde, est un point névralgique de BitTorrent dont la fermeture est très redoutée. Mais la relève arrive, dans la grande tradition du P2P. "Si c'est la mort des .torrents, l'Histoire nous enseigne que quelque chose de mieux viendra (à la place)", avait prévenu le porte-parole de TPB, Peter Sunde, après l'annonce de la vente de The Pirate Bay.
