OffiSync, a self-funded startup run by entrepreneur Oudi Antebi, has created an Office add-on that integrates Google Docs, Google Apps and Google search into Microsoft office. When you open up Microsoft Word, for instance, you can see the Google functions on the menu, as if they were a Google toolbar. Microsoft is slowly moving in this direction. “We are Googleizing Microsoft Office,” he said in an interview. OffiSync works with Microsoft Office 2003 or Office 2007, and it will be available for the Mac in the future. Antebi showed me a demo of the software, and I could clearly see that the Office document he was working on could be saved as a Google Doc on the web, stored somewhere in Google’s cloud where a user could access it from any web-based computer.

Freakonomics » The Way We Teach Math, Sciences, and Languages Is Wrong (iStockphoto) A few years after I learned German, I got the chance to learn French. That experience gave me lots of ideas for why our teaching of many subjects, especially science and mathematics, is so unsuccessful—and for how we can improve our learning. I studied French in school for five years. However, when I went to France after college, I could barely buy a train ticket. The impetus to try again came a few years later, in the summer of 1993. While still in America, to get more benefit from the language course, I started relearning French. I did one French lesson daily starting from Lesson 1. Thus, I learned far more from 3 months with the Assimil self-study course than from 5 years of school French. despite spending 5 percent of the hours that I spent in school, with the self-study method I became far more competent in the language. That’s a time-invested ratio of 20 to 1. Active. If we learned our first language like we usually learn second languages, it might look like this.

Raymond Boudon, le sociologue qui cultivait le juste et le vrai Décédé à l'âge de 79 ans, le principal détracteur de Pierre Bourdieu était contre la tradition marxiste en vogue dans sa discipline. Son œuvre, peu médiatisée, reste à découvrir. Que retiendra-t-on de l'école française de sociologie au XXe siècle? Dans un demi-siècle, le nom de Raymond Boudon, décédé ce jeudi à l'âge de 79 ans, pourrait s'imposer comme une valeur sûre et durable. Comprendre le monde Raymond Boudon rejetait aussi bien la tradition marxiste que l'école culturaliste américaine. Raymond Boudon illustre l'excellence d'une pensée française du libéralisme, aussi sérieuse et argumentée sur le fond qu'ignorée ou sous-estimée par la classe médiatique. Dans L'Inégalité des chances, publié en 1973, il se penche notamment sur les causes de la mobilité sociale dans la France d'après-guerre. Il en conclut que l'augmentation quantitative des diplômes n'ouvre sur aucune mobilité sociale supplémentaire, mais contribue seulement à les dévaluer.
