Freenews: arretez le massacre

Petit coup de gueule en attendant que “la météo du réseau” se termine. Bon franchement, qu'est ce qu'on en a à secouer de la météo du réseau. Si ca marche pas chez les autres, je m'en fous, c'est pas une bonne pub pour free, et si ca marche pas pour ma région, j'ai pas besoin de la météo pour m'en rendre compte ! Y'a bien des chances que je ne puisse même pas regarder la télé.

Voilà c'est dit. Mais y'a pire.

L'AFFREUSE pub sur le site web qui se déclence en cliquant (en plein écran bien entendu). rien qu'à cause de cela je limite au minimum mes visites sur les site.

Voilà, sinon bonne continuation.

already a free subscriber (30 euros per months), so I should get this really soon. I'm a Niel's admirer (Mr Niel is the CEO) since a long time... The company looks really healthy with a very strong strategic steering. (Very focused, using and supporting linux since a very long time, videolan too, etc)

YAY for them

Would that be too hard to do it the right way ? (about dlink vandalism and impolite manners)

An open letter to d-link as the last mean of making them behave the right way.

Much better than Google Earth...

... for French territory only.

Our administration for geographical data (IGN) is bound to launch a webportal (looks like it's a web app, yes) much better than google earth on some points :

- fine grain details of pictures
- “paper maps” mappig (like the one IGN is used to sold for years)
- 3D for the whole territory
- public layers : water pipes, mailbox addresses, public buildings
- private layers: anything you want (if you pay for referencing your layer), including 3D hiking track, and much more
- bitmap mapping of 3D building

The demonstration video is in french (this is the Billaut show), but you don't need much explanation, the video speaks by itself!

Apple Store in Paris: champs elysees !

I've insider news about the location of the apple store supposed to open in Paris soon (End of 2006, or more probably 2007). Looks like it will be located on “Champs Elysées”. Anyone with a good idea of a spot for it ?

I can't stand waiting.
