MALBOUFFE – McDo vu du ciel, cartographie d’un empire
Steve Von Worley Les Etats-Unis vus du ciel ? La densité de la population américaine au commencement de la ruée vers l'Ouest ? Vous n'y êtes pas : voici une carte de la répartition des McDonald's américains réalisée par le photographe Steve Von Worley et consultable en ligne à cette adresse. "La lecture de cette carte nous confirme que le géant du fast-food, qui compte plus de 13 000 restaurants aux Etats-Unis, s'implante méthodiquement dans et autour des agglomérations, ainsi que le long des réseaux autoroutiers, analyse le site fluctuat.net. Les rares zones d'ombres de la carte s'expliquent par la topographie : parc national des Everglades, désert du Nevada, montagnes de l'Idaho, grandes plaines du Dakota Sud, etc." Le blog Arcorama s'est amusé à fabriquer la même carte pour la France, deuxième plus grand marché du groupe à l'échelle mondiale. Arcorama nous explique le modus operandi d'une telle réalisation. Le site propose enfin un lien vers une carte mondiale du prix du Big Mac.

Starbucks Turns 40 Today With New Look, Menu Items
Starbucks isn't the first siren to turn 40 and reveal a fresh face to the world. Yes, it's had some work done — and it's asking customers to be kind and "give it time." (CEO Howard Schultz told USA Today about the logo and rebranding brewhaha, "I do like the fact they're talking about us.") Four flagship locations will unveil the new logo signage and packaging today: Solana store in Beijing — timed to the launch of its VIA instant coffee packets in China — plus Avenue de l'Opera in Paris, Brompton Road in London, and Times Square in New York. A new advertising campaign touting "moments of connection" will roll out in newspapers and TV next week, while in-store freebies and new menu items will thank customers for their loyalty. According to a press release, the new menu items are "a testament to the core of what Starbucks does best - premium handcrafted espresso and exceptional coffee and food offerings. Starbucks is paying tribute to customers as part of anniversary celebrations.

10 Fun Microsoft Facts You Might Not Know
Despite ever-increasing Mac sales, Microsoft still has an undisputed dominance over the computer industry. With such a vast presence, much has already been written about Microsoft: Its history, its products, even its former CEO Bill Gates. For those itching to know even more, we've dug up 10 snippets of info that you might not have heard before. What experimental musician created the Windows start-up sound? 1. The first ever mention of "Microsoft" was in a letter from Bill Gates to co-founder Paul Allen in 1975. Losing the hyphen, "Microsoft" was officially registered as a company in November, 1976 in New Mexico where Gates and Allen were working with their first major customer, MITS. The Microsoft logo has changed several times over the years, the current "Pac-Man" logo was introduced in 1987, but previous to that was the "blibbet" logo that's pictured above. 2. Pioneering musician Brian Eno was the musical brains behind Window 95's start up tune, dubbed "The Microsoft Sound." 3. 4. 5.
L'illusion de la concurrence ? Dix groupes contrôlent l'essentiel de vos achats
"L'illusion du choix", "ces dix compagnies contrôlent tout ce que vous achetez" : le schéma publié par Business Insider fait réfléchir. La concurrence ne serait qu'apparence : sous la multiplicité des marques, on retrouve toujours les dix mêmes compagnies. Or la concurrence donne sa légitimité à l'économie de marché : sans elle, la seule limite à la recherche de profits, c'est l'épuisement du budget des consommateurs. (Cliquez sur l'image pour l'agrandir) Si c'est vrai, il s'agit, de nouveau serait-on tenté de dire après tant de doutes sur la régulation financière, d'un échec grave de la régulation des marchés. Avant d'aller plus loin, il faut distinguer, dans le schéma, ce qui est vrai de ce qui est une simple construction. Mais, de ces constatations, l'on ne peut tirer de conclusions sans se poser d'autres questions. Tout va-t-il donc pour le mieux dans un univers parfaitement régulé ?
