  • Une extension Chrome pour rechercher des photos sur plus de 200 banques d’images | Ballajack

    La recherche d’images et de photos est une partie non négligeable du temps consacré à rédaction d’articles quand on tient un blog.
    Pour gagner du temps, l’extension pour Chrome The Ultimate Free Stock PhotoSearch permet sans quitter le navigateur de trouver des photos et des images après avoir tapé une requête de recherche dans la fenêtre accessible depuis la barre d’outils en cliquant sur l’icône de l’extension. 
    Les recherches se font sur plus de 200 sites de stock de photos pour la plupart gratuits, ce qui représente plus de 2 milliards de clichés à disposition. Les sites proposent des photos, des dessins, des illustrations, des textures, des cliparts…

    My rating: 3 of 5 stars

    Une espèce de feuille de triche des grands concepts scientifiques. Pratique pour se rappeler en 30 secondes de quoi il s’agit. Certainement insuffisant pour comprendre. Plutôt sympa, écrit avec humour, style efficace.
    Par contre, la traduction est lamentable. La traduction de l’anglais au français est quasi littérale, ça rend la lecture assez pénible. Parfois, la traduction est carrément fausse. “Lecturer” ne se dit pas “lecteur” en français mais “maître de conférences”. Dommage de saboter ainsi cette tentative de faire entrer la vulgarisation à l’anglaise en terres francophones.

  • 42 and Douglas Adams [video] | GrrlScientist | Science | guardian.co.uk

    Are you a numberphile who also loves Douglas Adams? If so, then you probably already know where this is going …

    In this week’s amusing video, we learn about all the quirky traits of the number 42. It was writer Douglas Adams who made this number famous in his book, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, as being the “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”, according to one of the book’s characters, the supercomputer, Deep Thought.

  • Streisand effect – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    (via @nicotupe) The Streisand effect is a primarily online phenomenon in which an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress photographs of her residence inadvertently generated further publicity.
