&lt;span lang="EN-CA"&gt;Steve Jobs.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA"&gt;Even if so many people, and I, did not like you
precious walled gardens that you tried to keep us inside, you made technology
pleasurable for so many others, no matter their age and knowledge. “It’s
technology married with liberal arts, married with humanities, that yields the
results that make our hearts sing.” Hopefully, others will be just as holistic
in their approach. Not sure. But I’m quite certain, your legend will continue to be a
muse for so many among us. After all, you did "put a ding in the
universe" as you dreamed, and the universe misses you already.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA"&gt;Thank you for seeing a box with
silicon and wires with a lot of 1 and 0 in them as the magical devices that you
put in the hands of so many. Thank you for being able to see that potential not
from the inside as an engineer, nor the outside as a user, but as an Artist, as new
kind of Da Vinci. Thank you for packaging these megabytes and megahertz in the elegance of design, both aesthetic and usage. Thank you for putting a heart and a soul in the cold steel, cristals and
glass of our gadgets and tools. Thank you for focusing so much on us, the users (even if it was sometimes
a little too much for my taste;) Finally, thank you for showing us that, always, “there
must be a better way”. And to steal the tagline of the movie The Aviator, “&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Some men dream the future. [you] built it&lt;/i&gt;.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA"&gt;Above all, thank you for showing how to follow
one’s heart and not some quarterly earnings reports (or election cycles) for
the long run win. May our CEOs and politicians listen to theirs. Yes, thank you
for this life changing quote: &lt;a href="http://go.ili.as/SteveJobs-LiveYOURLife" target="_blank"&gt;http://go.ili.as/SteveJobs-LiveYOURLife (12min17s)&lt;/a&gt;;
you definitely did follow your own advice. It was short, but so much worth
living. As you once said "your time is limited, so don't waste it living
someone else's life", you surely lived YOUR life and you changed ours. You
lived, you certainly lived. Rest in peace. Down here, we will try to “stay hungry, stay foolish”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AymiwIyjPos/To1j_N_g6VI/AAAAAAAAhHw/pGjIgFvofYo/s1600/meg-whitman-111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="281" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AymiwIyjPos/To1j_N_g6VI/AAAAAAAAhHw/pGjIgFvofYo/s320/meg-whitman-111.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Meg Whitman, star of eBay is now at the helm of HP, after a short-lived 
11 months reign of Léo Apotheker, so can we safely say: The King is 
dead, long live the Queen!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"We would assume that most of this direction was the desire of the board
 when they hired Leo, so it's unclear if they wish to change this 
current strategy, or just change the messenger," wrote Louis Miscioscia 
at Collins Stewart. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess it's like with the current problems of the US economy: it's 
probably less about the real health of the economy than the lack of long
 term certainty of the direction of the decisions taken that weight on HP's stock 
right? So would it finally go up if Whitman makes a clear long term statement?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But still, her experience lies with a consumer-oriented dot-com, so 
"while we believe Meg has proven to be a very capable manager leading 
eBay from a start-up into a household name and one of the largest 
internet companies, there will be plenty of scrutiny given her lack of 
experience in the enterprise business," Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu 
wrote."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But we could see that in a more positive way, and imagine that this new 
appointment is a strategic one that would take advantage of the 
experience of Whitman with eBay, a consumer-driven company. It could be a
 new reversal of strategy towards the consumer market, perhaps to go 
back to Mark Hurd's vision rather than Léo Apotheker's exclusive 
business software one. Still HP made a 10 billion investment in a 
business software oriented firm, and that's hard to reverse, unless 
there is no planned integration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I still believe that the company had an amazing opportunity to get into 
high-value consumer-driven market with the WebOS ecosystem: phone, 
tablet, appstore, cloud-services all sync together. I just wish the 
company would have used the Gillette razors' price structure: not making
 money on the hardware, but the value added services (cloud services and
 app-store). Also, if the Touchpad's bill of materials is about 300$ 
today, it will go lower with time/volume, and the price would have 
stayed the same, so even on the hardware it could have been profitable. 
Unfortunately, we all saw the mayhem that happened with the liquidation 
sale of the tablet way bellow the cost, and the exit of HP from the 
WebOS hardwares. It might still have this opportunity (or another one), 
but the company needs asap to decide where it's actually planning to go,
 communicate, communicate, communicate, and stick to the plan!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, as many analysts highlight it: HP needs a new strategy (or the 
confirmation of Léo's one), with a strong vision/mission statement and 
long-term commitment of the company towards that goal. As Goldman Sachs 
is "cautiously optimistic many of the strategic challenges are 
resolvable" but it "is also facing increasing cyclical and secular 
tailwinds". &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck HP! :)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Durant ces trois mois de répits, Facebook a rattrapé son retard et a 
proposé une grande partie de ce qui faisait l'attrait de Google+ 
(clarification des réglages de vie privée, simplification des listes, 
intégration du "following" avec les "subscriptions). C'est fou comment 
Facebook est bon à exécuter quand même...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Encore une fois il faut remercier la compétition qui nous a amené une nouvelle dynamique de marché et va probablement maintenir le rythme accéléré d'innovations qu'on a 
vu récemment. Ça me rappelle un peu les pas de géants qu'Internet 
Explorer (vous vous souvenez de IE6 super lent et remplis de bugs!;) avait fait lorsque Firefox a gagné du momentum il y a quelques 
années. Maintenant ces navigateurs ont du fils à retordre et des mises à jour/optimisations bien plus régulières...merci qui? Merci Google Chrome! Visiblement Google+ a eu le même effet sur Facebook.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Concernant Google+ plus spécifiquement, j'ai vraiment hâte que les gens derrières publient de 
bonnes api, qu'ils intègrent mieux leurs différents services, notamment 
Blogger et YouTube (surtout pour les commentaires), et qu'enfin ils pluguent 
les api des autres réseaux sociaux tant qu'à faire, ça ne leur feraient pas de mal si ce n'est rendre G+ mon réseau de prédilection ...a voir...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Mais est-ce vraiment trop tard?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Ici Google est allé "all the way" (vous avez vu la grosse flèche bleue publicitaire sur Google.com?), je pense que Google a vu les analytics de recherche sur sa page et que la croissance n'est plus aussi importante&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;à&amp;nbsp;ce niveau.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;D'une part, il en va de sa pertinence sur le web, car si la recherche devient vraiment sociale comme le voudrait Facebook, il y a un veritable risque pour Google.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;D'autre part, il en va du renouveau de la compagnie et de la recherche d'un nouveau vecteur de croissance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Enfin, il en va du "data scouring", Google n'a pas accès aux données de Facebook, et les gens y passent de plus en plus de temps a y créer des données; avoir son endroit ou ces données sont créées est un enjeu majeur pour une compagnie qui se veut être le hub de la recherche de données sur le web.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;De facto, je crois que Google ne va pas lâcher prise jusqu'à avoir "a fair share" du web social, ou elle va couler avec le navire. Je penche pour l'option un, et &lt;a href="https://plus.google.com/111091089527727420853"&gt;Robert Scoble&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:scobleizer@gmail.com"&gt;scobleizer@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;semble penser de même....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Personnellement je crois que la 
guerre a juste commencé, et qu'ils rattrapent assez rapidement les 7 
années de retard sur Facebook tout en y ajoutant de belles innovations 
(le nouveau Hangout avec document sharing et sketching, Hangout sur mobile, Circles, 
Huddle).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A little far fetched, mais ça me fait penser a la croissance des BRIC face aux pays 
avancés! Va-t-on assister au même type de rattrapage? Pas sûr connaissant l’inertie des utilisateurs en général, en particulier quand 1/10ème de la population mondiale est sur Facebook. Mais bon, faut quand même voir la video TED de Niall Ferguson sur la fin de "la 
grande divergence" et l'accélération des rattrapages depuis les années 70
 (&lt;a class="ot-anchor" href="http://go.ili.as/tedniall"&gt;http://go.ili.as/tedniall&lt;/a&gt;). Voyons donc le premier pas lors de &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/f8"&gt;Facebook f8 demain, jeudi 22 septembre 2011&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

Why?!</title><description>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Nokia announces a new partnership with Microsoft regarding their mobile OS and announces a deep corporate restructuring, and the market welcomes that with an almost 15% dip in NOK stock!&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I just think that from an investor point of view, this kind of announcement looks like a statement of defeat on Nokia's part, as they had 1 amazing operating system 10 years ago (Symbian) which they failed to leverage in front of the Android and iOS competition and are dropping it now in the trashcan, they also started a new project backed by Intel (MeeGo) 2 or 3 years ago and it seems that they are giving it away to the Open-Source community with not much support like in the case of Android. So that might look like another potentially failed project or at least a last attempt to raise by two failures (Symbian and Windows Mobile OS have both failed to counter the rise of Google's Android and Apple's iOS) in the same manner Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo 2 years ago (cf. a quick analysis&amp;nbsp;http://bit.ly/microsoft-yahoo-deal).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;On the second hand, still in an investor's point of view, if Nokia starts "dating" Microsoft, in the short term there is no upside for them, it will take at least 6months to 1 year to clear the current Nokia products' pipeline and start from fresh. Also the kind of restructuring is not a «done» deal till it is done, and carries a lot of uncertainty regarding the outcome. And finally to continue on the outcome issue, the new Windows 7 Mobile has not been in the market for long enough to see a directional trend whether it will catch Android and iOS train or if it will stay on the side like Symbian, Windows Mobile 5, or BlackBerry OS so far for that matter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EwoApH0QSio/To1lkMpx8GI/AAAAAAAAhH8/bL2wQdGCR5U/s1600/nokia-ms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EwoApH0QSio/To1lkMpx8GI/AAAAAAAAhH8/bL2wQdGCR5U/s1600/nokia-ms.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;But, and there is a big but: Microsoft has deep pockets and can still spare a couple of mistakes before getting it straight, which Nokia couldn't handle anymore. Then, Microsoft Windows 7 Mobile has had a great peer reviews so far, and finally, Microsoft did the right thing by ditching all the old (and so 2000ish) Windows Mobile OS and starting from scratch in a truly definite and innovative way. It was a tough choice (always tough to do radical change and ditch the current user base, just like what Windows XP did to Windows 98), but it was a long-time overdue thing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I think that the timing for both of them is a little bit late (should have done it a year ago, as Android registered an 880% increase of adoption in the last year alone), but at least it finally sets the stage for new paradigm regarding Mobile OS. So far, and in the wake of 2000's Smartphone, the business model for Mobile OS was the like of Desktop OS which was to license it for each device and get royalties, or to keep it for its own devices. Apple is still doing the latter, but Android brought a complete game-changing business model, which is to give it away for free, to open-source AND to support it (the latter being the Achilles' heel of the Linux-like OS for computers). Google is making money through ads served when browsing and perhaps a cut when buying apps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;So for Windows 7 Mobile, giving money to Nokia (which is still a huge device manufacturer) to adopt their software will benefit both companies. On the one hand Microsoft will get an instant spike in their OS distribution and adoption which will keep them relevant among the major Smartphone OS. For Nokia, it finally gives them an edge on the new Smartphone market. They are VERY strong (better than the iPhone by far) on the hardware part, but to stay head-to-head with the Samsung and HTC of this world they need to have a strong OS, which they will with this more robust Microsoft solution. Also that will let them focus on their core business, which is not software development obviously.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Bottom line, I think on the long run this is the best strategic move they could make. In my analysis of Nokia before, I said they should focus on their core business and embrace Android. Now it's with Windows. Fair enough. The only draw-back I see with that is that it might delay further longer the adoption of a Smartphone-like OS for their "dumb-phones" that they sell by the truck-load in the developing countries, because now they might depend on Windows development pipeline for that. I still stand by my word, and do think they should deploy a scaled-down Android-like OS for their cheap phones, and not wait until the competition does it. Still, if I had money, I'd put some on NOK today at 4PM, and more in the (most probably) upcoming market pull-back.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;img border="0" height="166" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S-Ll0rf1T6I/AAAAAAAAENA/bELPfGoPDpo/s200/railroads2.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;In reply to MG Siegler &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/parislemon"&gt;@parislemon&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/05/adobes-railroad/"&gt;regarding the comparison between the AppStore's action against Adobe and the development of railroads&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;It's not fair to compare the railroad system of the US with Japan's one: Japan has a very narrow island, so most traffic goes north/south. The US and Canada are huge country: they are large, long, AND interconnected. That's why both countries need standards, while Japan does not. It's better to compare US &amp;amp; Canada with Europe where the railroad standards were different (I know for sure between Spain and France at least), and it has only been a decade that they are really bringing one standard, and in the same time we are seeing super high speed trains between Madrid and Paris for example. So, I&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;don't think that you have to link the standardization to lack of innovation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S-LmFKPIIEI/AAAAAAAAENI/0q9Bv-LAd5g/s1600/iphone-appstore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="155" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S-LmFKPIIEI/AAAAAAAAENI/0q9Bv-LAd5g/s200/iphone-appstore.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;The lack of innovation comes from the lack of choice. One standard is fine, but a platform has to let the developer chose if he/she wants the standard coding language/compiler or go another way. By forcing this up on the developers, Apple is imposing an artificial comparative advantage of its phone over the others which I would call the "lock-in advantage".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Think about what Microsoft could have done with it's "platform" advantage on Windows Media Player if the Antitrust laws were not hanging on the neck of Bill Gates, imagine Microsoft sayging that Windows would not support the Ipod as it was a duplicate features on Windows because Microsoft has its Zune, same thing for Itunes as Microsoft had Windows Media Player, same thing for Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Chrome etc... as there was already Internet Explorer. Apple is doing the same, it's using it's platform advantage to impose a standard and dismiss competition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S-LlqTaZR2I/AAAAAAAAEM4/eIyEHulwAAo/s1600/microsoft_antitrust_320.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S-LlqTaZR2I/AAAAAAAAEM4/eIyEHulwAAo/s200/microsoft_antitrust_320.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;I usually don't like government involvement but, as I pointed it out in this &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/iliasb/status/11894652542"&gt;status on Twitter, if it was Microsoft who were acting like Apple we would get the Antitrust squad breaking Redmont's doors&lt;/a&gt;: just imagine MacOS' hardware lock-in (instalable only on Mac hardware), Itunes monopoly (what 70% of music online goes through it right?), AppStore monopoly (no third party store on Iphone!!!), Iphone OS language monopoly, Iphone OS compilation monopoly. If you think about it, it's like what Rockfeller did in the early oil-rush: selling the tools to dig, selling the platform to transport it, but what he did not is own the land, and that's what Apple is doing. Think about the "serf" in the middle-age: they didf not own the land (the platform), they did not own the tools (the language), they could not go anywhere else (the lock-in or the exit barriers), they only owned what they harvested (the software) and they had to share it with the master (30% goes to Apple, right?).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S-LmccogjyI/AAAAAAAAENg/oNFPf9nvpK4/s1600/Apple+vs+Adobe.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S-LmccogjyI/AAAAAAAAENg/oNFPf9nvpK4/s1600/Apple+vs+Adobe.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Obviously the comparison is a little far-fetched, but I understand what Adobe is saying, while I also understand that Adobe has a quasi-monopoly on the web regarding Flash, it's only the format, there are litteraly dozens of tools that let you produce Flash software/games/videos etc. And there are hundreds of stores online where to buy flash. Apple is doing the opposit, and by doing this it increases the pressure on the developer while giving him little ways of getting out as the platform became so ubiquious among smartphones and high end phones. I know that's not what Apple is telling people, Apple talks about the quality of its platform and the quality of Iphone's software written in native language. &lt;b&gt;But if people want to write in a language which renders poorly on their platform, let it be and let consumer chose to fly away and go &amp;nbsp;to a competitor who programs better directly in the native language, no?&lt;/b&gt; It shouldn't even be a debate! Isn't it what we call capitalism? Let the best developer win the customers? If customers don't like a program they will switch to the competitors. Point in case, people left Internet Explorer beside the massive and dominant market share until 2005. For that matter, I think that&amp;nbsp;Apple talk are kind of B.S as when it comes to an end, it's mainly the bottom-line that counts and by locking the users and programmers in, and building big walls of "exit barriers" for software portability it helps imposing development for the main platform only. And the more time the government wait to react the more innovation will suffer among the community, and so will you as a consumer!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;I feel that I'm always ranting these days, but what &lt;a href="http://livinglifelive.blogspot.com/search/label/Apple"&gt;Apple&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://livinglifelive.blogspot.com/search/label/facebook"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; are doing regarding different aspects of "users disrespect" goes beyond my understanding (not the financial understanding obviously). And the way people and the government reacts to that is concerning. The government should start questioning some practices Apple has and this is getting urgent: AppStore being the sole platform for selling software on Iphone, Iphone language and compiler being the sole for programming on Iphone, and the ViP ad network that gives insiders tracking information while in the same time forbidding competitors from tracking the users in their TOS are among the most proeminent example in my belief.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Did I miss any?

I'm not talking about the Instant Personalization option which was rolled in April 21st, but a slight change in the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/facebookprivacymenu"&gt;&lt;em&gt;privacy menu http://bit.ly/facebookprivacymenu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; and specifically with the new sub-menu &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/friendstags"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Friends Tags and connections&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. I will try to change later the&amp;nbsp;screenshots to reflect that change.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nm0X0iWOI/AAAAAAAAEHw/0xjmDcHLyVk/s1600/fb+privacy+friends+tags+and+connections+general+et+specific.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="382" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nm0X0iWOI/AAAAAAAAEHw/0xjmDcHLyVk/s640/fb+privacy+friends+tags+and+connections+general+et+specific.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;I guess you have been on Facebook for a while now, and you've seen the change in Facebook's privacy settings in February and December 2009. Now with the release of the OpenGraph things are changing again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;I am making this post specifically because of 2 persons who are not the least tech-savvy, but who ran into trouble by letting there previous (pre-2008) privacy settings stay the same for the last 3 years. After sending them the following screenshot, I thought it may apply to other people as it's probably clearer than my previous post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Hopefully, in the 6 following steps, you'll get the Facebook YOU want it to be and not Zuckerberg &amp;amp; Co's "open" community&amp;nbsp;(open, as in show your whole life publicly no matter&amp;nbsp;your previous privacy settings).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;So here you go!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;1.&lt;/span&gt; First today's "magical and revolutionary product", the &amp;nbsp;"Instant personalization" "feature":&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Instant personalization&amp;nbsp;allows other websites to access your profile. If you want to cancel that function here is what you should do, go to &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/instantpersonalization"&gt;http://bit.ly/instantpersonalization&lt;/a&gt; and uncheck the box.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mMRfPF8WI/AAAAAAAAEBw/rM8OiH_N9Cg/s1600/fb+instant+personalization+new.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="328" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mMRfPF8WI/AAAAAAAAEBw/rM8OiH_N9Cg/s640/fb+instant+personalization+new.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt; Applications &amp;amp; Websites privacy option:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Indeed, if you read what's written at the bottom of that page it says: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Please keep in mind that if you opt out, your friends may still share public Facebook information about you to personalize their experience on these partner sites unless you block the application.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;So go to this page &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/applicationswebsites"&gt;http://bit.ly/applicationswebsites&lt;/a&gt; and uncheck all the boxes about the informations&amp;nbsp;that you don't want other websites to know about you, because if a friend of you goes to this website, it can store the following information about you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mOR-BqV_I/AAAAAAAAECI/PIIYo3Qiuy4/s1600/fb+privacy+applications+websites+shared+info.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="470" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mOR-BqV_I/AAAAAAAAECI/PIIYo3Qiuy4/s640/fb+privacy+applications+websites+shared+info.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;3. &lt;/span&gt;The general privacy settings:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now the funny part that changed in December 2009, if you haven't changed your privacy settings since then, you probably have them "reset" to the state bellow, that's what happenned to my brother and sudenly he had his whole profile open to the world to see. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mR1pgXpiI/AAAAAAAAECY/RUELXacI1NA/s1600/fb+privacy+general+avant.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mR1pgXpiI/AAAAAAAAECY/RUELXacI1NA/s640/fb+privacy+general+avant.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When you work long hours in a highly demanding job, you don't have the time to tweak your profile every now and then, and that's something that Facebook does not (want to) understand. So here are the changes that should be made in order to get a little bit of your privacy back &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/privacypersonal"&gt;http://bit.ly/privacypersonal&lt;/a&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mSMEEsZ7I/AAAAAAAAECk/mHV96h6MAN0/s1600/fb+privacy+general+apres.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mSMEEsZ7I/AAAAAAAAECk/mHV96h6MAN0/s640/fb+privacy+general+apres.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;And you&amp;nbsp;should tweak the settings for photos and videos that people tag of you as follow in order for you not to have anyone tagging that photo, you know, THE one that you don't want your ex, your boss or even your mom to see: &lt;strong&gt;Update: &lt;em&gt;it's now in the following 6. section that you can change this settings&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mdr1lp0aI/AAAAAAAAEDE/UPnbi-zxMOw/s1600/fb+privacy+general+apres+pour+juste+photos+tag+pour+toi.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mdr1lp0aI/AAAAAAAAEDE/UPnbi-zxMOw/s640/fb+privacy+general+apres+pour+juste+photos+tag+pour+toi.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;4.&lt;/span&gt; The search settings:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now that you have done that you should also think about who do you want to be able to find you on facebook and on Google (or other search engine). Do you really want the HR department of that shiny new firm that you applied to be able to check your "background"? Do you want to be found by random people on Facebook or other colleagues and then to have to exaplain why you did not want to add them? You cannot run all the time on the famous sentence "oh, I don't check my Facebook very often, I forgot to accept your friend request" or another one of the same flavor, so go to &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/searchprivacy"&gt;http://bit.ly/searchprivacy&lt;/a&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;
By default Facebook wants everyone to find you and enjoy "socializing" with you:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mfDEXy7fI/AAAAAAAAEDc/3uMW9Ubv0u4/s1600/fb+search+avant.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mfDEXy7fI/AAAAAAAAEDc/3uMW9Ubv0u4/s640/fb+search+avant.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;But if you don't want to end-up like this poor&amp;nbsp;girl (I think)&amp;nbsp;who lost her job because of trashing her job and forgotting that her boss was able to look at that (if your profile is not set properly as previously in the general privacy settings, all your status updates are visible by ANYONE on the whole web!)...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mgHcke09I/AAAAAAAAEDk/-PAJUN_0QqQ/s1600/Lost+job+because+of+Facebook.gif" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="227" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mgHcke09I/AAAAAAAAEDk/-PAJUN_0QqQ/s400/Lost+job+because+of+Facebook.gif" tt="true" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;It's the same thing if people can find you on Facebook or by Googling you, so personaly I did the following:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mguLLJgTI/AAAAAAAAED8/kMMN7ZVYvrY/s1600/fb+search+apres.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9mguLLJgTI/AAAAAAAAED8/kMMN7ZVYvrY/s640/fb+search+apres.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;5.&lt;/span&gt; Your friends list:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You should also change how your friend list is displayed to your friends/friend of friends/Everyone as follow: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update: it's now in the following 6. section that you can change this settings&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nNsCAROKI/AAAAAAAAEEw/lhed0gbXnQU/s1600/fb+friend+list.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nNsCAROKI/AAAAAAAAEEw/lhed0gbXnQU/s640/fb+friend+list.JPG" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;6.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Update on April 29th&lt;/em&gt;: The new Friends, Tags and Connections Privacy sub-menu:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here is the latest in Facebook "get back to default i.e Everyone" privacy settings... I'm really thinking about switching my Master's studies to get a degree in a "Master's in Facebook &amp;amp; Social Media"! ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So here is the new default settings that I just saw this morning in the new&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/friendstags"&gt; Friends, Tags and Connections Facebook settings that controls the tags you get and the new "like" button on partners websites&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/friendstags"&gt;http://bit.ly/friendstags&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nDv9APUrI/AAAAAAAAEEU/IyACyRN46Yc/s1600/fb+privacy+friends+tags+avant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="488" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nDv9APUrI/AAAAAAAAEEU/IyACyRN46Yc/s640/fb+privacy+friends+tags+avant.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;You better change them if you don't want your aunt, your mom or whoever check that you love drinking from the Keg, or that your future employer see that you changed jobs 10 times in the last 2 years, or even your guys friends know that you clicked on like for the movie "the notebook" (I don't have anything against it, just an example ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nOUO-d5II/AAAAAAAAEFM/2K2hBhJykYI/s1600/fb+privacy+friends+tags+apres.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S9nOUO-d5II/AAAAAAAAEFM/2K2hBhJykYI/s640/fb+privacy+friends+tags+apres.jpg" tt="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here you go! I'm not sure that I covered everything, I just hope that you'll take advantage of this tweaks and that you'll follow this posts for future updates regarding Facebook's privacy! Actually I really think I should do a "Master's in Facebook" (perhaps from University of Phoenix! ;)&amp;nbsp;or create a dedicated website for this crazy ever-changing privacy settings, layouts, Terms Of Services etc...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please just take the time to share this page to make sure people know more about how your seemingly innocent activites on Facebook can have a huge impact on your life (professional &amp;amp; personal) and that you have the tools to make sure you "control" to a certain extent what goes on your behalf on Facebook and the web in general...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goog luck!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PS: feel free to tell me if I forgot anything, Facebook's privacy is getting harder and harder to crawl through....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Facebook acts like a totalitarian state ;) It does not allow to create a page entitled "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;DON'T LET FACEBOOK OWN YOUR IDENTITY ONLINE"! Yes, it's not a joke!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I really don't know what to think.&amp;nbsp;I posted a couple of thoughts&amp;nbsp;about what was going on since yesterday&amp;nbsp;and was thinking about writing a blog post later to clarify my thoughts, but I had to post this first: Try to create a COMMUNITY which is by&amp;nbsp;essence a NON-OFFICIAL page as stated by Facebook:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Community Page:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Generate support for your&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;favorite cause&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; or &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;topic&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; by creating a Community Page.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;What does this mean? If my favorite topic is "I love Obama" or "I hate Obama" it's ok, right? Indeed it's ok for Obama lovers/haters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;But it does not go this way for Facebook!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Try to create a Community with the topic: "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;DON'T LET FACEBOOK OWN YOUR IDENTITY ONLINE".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;You'll get the following message:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;Sorry Facebook, but that's a cause and a topic, so for me it deserves to be seen as a community page.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;I see what you could say: it's Facebook's brand so it might be a breach of trademark or whatever, and even if for ages we were able to see pages like "I love X brand" or "I have Y brand", today is the day where it's not&amp;nbsp;permitted&amp;nbsp;anymore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Well, you are right, and even if it feels weird as the community page is clearly to support a cause/subject/topic or whatever as a community, I would understand that. So I ran a little experiment. What other brands are as mainstream as Facebook today? Nike, Microsoft, Cisco, ExxonMobile, Maroc Telecom (lol), Apple, Amazon, Marrakech (that would almost be a brand;) etc... But what main brand is also sometimes&amp;nbsp;associated&amp;nbsp;with "evil" and online identity super-ownership? Google of course! I'd let you run the test aswell by creating the same page for Google and see what goes on...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Ok, you might be lazy! So I did it for you for a couple of brands, and you guessed it right (otherwise I wouldn't be writing that), it passed the "automated system". Proof in picture bellow:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;As I side note, I was able to create the following page:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;DON'T LET FACEB00K OWN YOU &amp;amp; YOUR IDENTITY ONLINE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/privacynow"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/privacynow&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Finally, a little piece of advice, If you want to CHOSE if whether you want to opt-out or opt-in into the new Facebook social-web's scheme check your privacy settings at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bit.ly/facebookoptout"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;www.bit.ly/facebookoptout&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and uncheck or check the last box.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-8954996525166088198?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Facebook.svg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Facebook, Inc." height="100" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Facebook.svg/266px-Facebook.svg.png" style="border: medium none; display: block;" width="266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Facebook virus are spreading around the platform, and I was almost going to fall for one when a friend of mine sent me a message on facebook asking me to check a photo of us with a shortned url (the bit.ly, or tr.im kind of urls).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I'm wondering how many people did fall for this kind of message, when a friend of yours gets his account hijacked and start sending emails asking to visit a website with cross site scripting (XSS)...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So basically, this is a message for my friends: I'm not an IT specialist, but I know 2 or 3 tricks to make your web-life safer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1. Try not to use Internet Explorer. &lt;a href="http://chrome.google.com/"&gt;Google Chrome&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or &lt;a href="http://getfirefox.com/"&gt;Firefox&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are a safer bet. Not because Microsoft's browser is the worst (they are getting better day by day), but it's much more tied to your windows OS than the others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2. When using Firefox, install &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865"&gt;Adblock plus extension&lt;/a&gt; to have no more ads on facebook (and google, gmail etc...). But so far, the ads on Facebook are not very well controlled and a lot of spammer and hackers are using that to send the users to suspicious sites.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K7yI4CF2I/AAAAAAAADo8/RZUr1LK7uII/s1600-h/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+12_15_37+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K7yI4CF2I/AAAAAAAADo8/RZUr1LK7uII/s320/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+12_15_37+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You also have &lt;a href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom"&gt;adblocking for Google Chrome&lt;/a&gt; through the extensions, but my experience was not that great and Chrome started crashing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K7eZBH9uI/AAAAAAAADo0/f6uP_x-kzvk/s1600-h/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+12_13_51+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K7eZBH9uI/AAAAAAAADo0/f6uP_x-kzvk/s320/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+12_13_51+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3. If you have a genuine windows Vista or 7 (it's a little bit slow on windows XP for the scan), install the &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/"&gt;free antivirus AND firewall from Microsoft&lt;/a&gt;. If you don't have a genuine one or you want an alternative, &lt;a href="http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download"&gt;Avast Home Edition is a very good and lightweight antivirus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;4. A firewall is a good add-on on top of an antivirus: it filters your connections to prevent someone to access your computer. It's free to use &lt;a href="http://www.comodo.com/home/download/download.php?prod=firewall"&gt;Comodo Home Firewall&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;5. An Anti-Malware is a good tool to clean your computer from other things that are not specifically virus (like adware etc...). &lt;a href="http://download.cnet.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html"&gt;Spybot Search &amp;amp; Destroy is free and efficient&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K4yvC7zWI/AAAAAAAADos/soQVIapUUk0/s1600-h/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+12_02_45+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K4yvC7zWI/AAAAAAAADos/soQVIapUUk0/s320/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+12_02_45+PM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;6. A step further is to install &lt;a href="http://www.lastpass.com/"&gt;Lastpass&lt;/a&gt;, it's an online password manager with local encryption, they also offer &lt;a href="http://lastpass.com/support_screencasts.php?feature=onetimepasswords"&gt;one time password to print in case you use a public computer&lt;/a&gt;, to increase security, you can&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;have a confirmation matrix to add to your password for identity control (it's a figures/letters matrix that you print), so even if your master password is stolen, the person won't be able to login. Finally you can also have a &lt;a href="https://lastpass.com/misc_download.php"&gt;usb version to use it on the go.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K1WpoKxkI/AAAAAAAADoE/qrIcGdyt-2w/s1600-h/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+11_47_31+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K1WpoKxkI/AAAAAAAADoE/qrIcGdyt-2w/s320/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+11_47_31+AM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;7. Check your &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy&amp;amp;ref=mb"&gt;facebook privacy settings&lt;/a&gt;, or get&lt;a href="http://www.allfacebook.com/2009/02/facebook-privacy/"&gt; more info about facebook's privacy settings here&lt;/a&gt;. Basically you HAVE to make sure not EVERYONE ONLINE can see you photos/profile/infos etc... now you can tailor what you post (status, links, photos album...) and make sure only the persons you want to see them, actually see them! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K4Z3Ef3AI/AAAAAAAADok/MLHulSXbmc8/s1600-h/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+11_55_22+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K4Z3Ef3AI/AAAAAAAADok/MLHulSXbmc8/s320/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+11_55_22+AM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/friends/?ref=tn"&gt;Also Please create friend lists to make your life easier&lt;/a&gt;. Start by doing something like that: a list for your actual friends (and let them see your tagged pictures etc..), a "casual friend" list for your acquaintances you meet at conferences etc... (and only let them see the photos you post, or only some of them as now you can do that for each album you post), and a "professional friends" for people who ad you randomly (and only let them see your basic profile and studies, jobs)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;8. Alway click the log-out button. Even on your computer! Do you know friends who post "stupid" status messages on your behalf? Yeah, that's funny! But imagine someone who change your email settings to add a filter to forward automatically all emails to another address he has control on, he could change your&amp;nbsp;Facebook&amp;nbsp;password or whatever password with this forward.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K2c2XwIrI/AAAAAAAADoc/YyVQdSFWs1s/s1600-h/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+11_52_54+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-PJ53soluZI/S4K2c2XwIrI/AAAAAAAADoc/YyVQdSFWs1s/s320/Screenshot+-+2_22_2010+,+11_52_54+AM.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;9. Always change your password, and don't use the same. At least try to have 4 or 5 different passwords and change them time to time&amp;nbsp;across&amp;nbsp;your accounts. Worst case scenario, if you don't remember them, you'll have to try 4 different ones. (and if you have&amp;nbsp;installed&amp;nbsp;Lastpass) you don't have to!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;10. Finally: always shut down your computer. Why would you leave it on? It uses energy (and we are all green today, right! ;) and more importantly, some people could put sniffer/keylogger on your password, or at least check your files! And don't assume that your friends/colleagues&amp;nbsp;won't do it, because at least a jealous friend will.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And not I'm not paranoid....I just try to abide by these rules. You can try them, and if you need any help, just let me know, I've configured this for my friends a dozen time...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What do you think? What are the most important ones? What would you use.&amp;nbsp;Personally, there is one that I do not follow... ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/02fc984c-785b-4944-9fd5-114c6ec009e7/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=02fc984c-785b-4944-9fd5-114c6ec009e7" style="border: medium none; float: right;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script defer="defer" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;

Was it a smart idea for Google to launch the buzz quitely?</title><description>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;
&lt;div class="zemanta-img" style="display: block; float: right; margin: 1em; width: 158px;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44124342351@N01/4343509815"&gt;&lt;img alt="Google Buzz Is Simon" height="240" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4343509815_28a843d294_m.jpg" style="border: medium none; display: block;" width="148" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution"&gt;Image by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44124342351@N01/4343509815"&gt;Vincent J. Brown&lt;/a&gt; via Flickr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Funny how when a new communication tool is available, it's uncluttered and full of non-fake people and posts. It reminds me of Twitter back in 2007 or Facebook in 2005...Good ol' times! Hope it stands long for Google Buzz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I think that the good strategic move here is by not playing the "big-launch" game, Google is smart by letting Google Buzz be more like an "app" service to its already pretty large plateform (starting with Gmail, but who knows where it will stop: Blogger, wave, google maps, Reader etc...) instead of a new plateform (like all the other Twitter wanna-be that lost ground and had to change like Tumblr, or one from Northern-Europe that was bought by Google I while ago I think). It is just like an extension of the already wide services that Google offers and may lead to a seamless adoption of the service, while a big "tada" launch might have made people think too much about adopting or not the service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It uses the already pretty wide user-base and delivers slightly a well differentiated approach (Porter would love to hear that!;) where the service mixes the "large spectrum" possibility of Twitter with the the narrow-tweaking of privacy and reach of Facebook, and with an added layer of media interaction that Twitter too often makes it hard (read more-clicks) to use even with all the tools that uses its api, it's still not for the average user who just want to share a couple of thoughts/advices/comments and links/pictures/video (I might look like bellow-average as I almost never use any picture/video/data sharing web services).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think the two main challenges would be:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. retaining the control on the user-experience without giving away the flexibilty brought by apis for added layers of web-services built upon Google Buzz without being a plain plateform very slow to move but that lets people do whatever they want with the api. Not in an Apple-Store-style-I-control-everything service, nor in a Windows-Mobile-free-for-all type (before Marketplace but even then...), perhaps more in the style of the Android plateform with a balance between control and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. keeping the differentiation approach strategy, perhaps by keeping a more personal flavor to the service more in line with the 2005 Facebook's era, and giving a good control over the balance of private/public life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What other challenges would they have, beside the obvious entry-barrier that Twitter and Facebook have set to the "personal-social-sharing" services?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I'm not a big fan of the closed system of apple, but there is one thing they know how-to do is the media attention. It really amazes me when i see big names like OM Malik saying that the Ipad is going to kill anything else (Kindle, HP Slate or whatever), because that leads to self-fulfilling prophecy. And the analysts are not supposed to do that I guess, because the kinds of OM are not financial analysts,  they built their fame on the analysis of gizmos etc... so their loyal fan base kinda trust them. I understand from a financial point of view that probably the Ipad is going to kill whatever is on its way, just like the iPhone did it for Nokia which still needs to give a real direction for the open-sourced (now) Symbian, but that's only because of the sex appeal (and form-design &amp;amp; accessories microcosm) of Apple and any "i"-stuff they bring to the market. Common guys, even the big media houses seemed so thrilled about the device, we saw it all over TV. I mean, I watch TV perhaps 20min a day, and I was able to have a glimpse of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For me that really leads to misinformation. Let me explain, if mainstream media wants to talk about technology and gizmos, fine. But to publish only one side is really a bias that should be. Have you heard about the slate? What does the Ipad do that really deserves that kind of attention compared to say the joojoo or the slate? Apps? Ok with more that a hundred-thousand apps already compatible (or with a minor reprogramming tweak), it's obvious that soon you will be able to buy the iKitchen accessory that will let you hang your ipad on the oven with your favorite receipt on while you are cooking, then turn it and watch the latest clip on Haïti, or on Michael Jackson while you are waiting....that's true! But still, you see the Ipad on TV and the guys there don't even say that there is any competition out there?? Wtf? Really, no other device? Really, they even quote Steve Jobs marketing b.s. (and I'm not an apple hater) by calling it a "magical (?) and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price"...waw!!! Apple does not need any advertisement fund anymore, they got it free! Don't let me start on the "magical" harry-potter-ish statement....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone is talking about the 140 000 or so apps that are compatible with the Ipad. That's true and obvious. But, Joojoo might be on the verge of bringing a whole new internet experience through digging deap inside Macromedia Flash and all the cloud-hosted apps. That's funny how everyone is calling that device dead or so with no added value (well for the price I would agree, but the Ipad would probably bring the price down now that we know the market price of the "high-end" tablet). That's unfortunate that they do not have the name/money of some, and if I were Adobe, I would really support the initiative to counter HTML5's video support and Apple claim that Flash is "dead" in a a way by not supporting it for the last 3 years on its Iphone/Ipod touch. There would be a real win-win deal there: Joojoo gets the media/investors attention after Mike Arrington chocked on the deal, and Adobe would get a technology showroom for flash....and....why not think big: get their own &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Adobe AppStore &lt;/span&gt;(is there any on the web? please enlighten me)! That's the deal today, no? We saw Nokia sinking because they changed the OS Software only when the hardware changed leaving people looking for apps all over the web just to realize they were incompatible, and Ovi is really a "too-late-with-no-added-value innovation" to really bring something to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, imagine that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Adobe funding and bringing the attention on the Joojoo.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Adobe hosting a flash app-store.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Finding a solution for data retention of the flash apps on the cloud (and not only the social-media services that are already doing that).&lt;br /&gt;
4. Having a real OS with Google-gears style local on-device data retention for all the apps.&lt;br /&gt;
5. Calling me a say thanks! ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do believe that this is a killer/not seen yet combination of device and cloud computing (let me know if I'm wrong, I study pretty hard, so no time to stay aware about all what's going on the web2.o stuff). &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It could really be the first full cloud computing experience with a usable local aspect, just like you have to sync your Iphone with your computer every now and then to get, you would synchronize your Joojoo Tablet/Slate with the cloud&lt;/span&gt; when you are back home/at the office/at a friend's house/at a starbucks etc...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And just to finish: hey Adobe, if you don't do a bold move like that, you'll keep losing market share for you flash format toward html5 (I mean less sales of Adobe flash CS, and more of Dreamweaver CS!;) or you'll keep wooing Apple to get it adopted on Iphone/Ipad platform until perhaps one day it will. But just a hint: do you remember the floppy disk on the first i-macs, Apple never put a player on them even with all the controversy....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, that's only my 2 cents, what about yours?&lt;br /&gt;

Cette compagnie attaquée de toute part (Systeme d'exploitation, Office, Recherche et services Internet), et jusque dans ses vaches à lait comme la suite MS Office par différent, se doit de rattrapper son retard dans le secteur à la plus forte croissance: celui de la recherche sur internet, la recherche "monetisée" bien sûr, domaine où Google excelle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour revenir au titre de cet article, faisons un rapide rappel de la fusion d'AOL et Time Warner: en 2000, au sommet de la (première) bulle internet, AOL a racheté Time Warner pour 182$ milliards, ce qui évaluait la compagnie à la suite de la fusion à plus de 350$ milliards (et oui plus de 168$ milliards pour AOL!;) On peut relire aujourd'hui les articles de cette époque (10 janvier 2000) où la majorité des analystes se targuait de trouver toujours plus de synérgies potentielles entre le "vieux" et le "nouveaux" media, qui avait le potentiel d'associer le contenu d'un compagnie centenaire et la diffusion d'un prodige du web pour réussir au final à toucher chaque citoyen américain si ce n'est citoyen du monde! Depuis, cette euphorie est passée, la gueule de bois est arrivée avec l'explosion de bulle techno, et la valorisation d'AOL qui a littéralement fondu comme neige au soleil. Une petite note, Ehrans, un analyst de Bear Stearns (la firme qui s'est faite offrir un rachat pour 2$ l'action en début mars!) a souligné en 2000 que "cette alliance imbattable".&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Concernant Microsoft et Yahoo, une remarque qui a été discrètement lancée à ce moment là est qu'AOL et Time Warner se sont rapporché non pas réellement par prévision de croissance, mais pas insécurité (cf. article de Salon.com). Et c'est là où la bas blesse. La situation est la même pour Microsoft! En effet, un article de Fortune datant du 18 février (page 18 à 24), rappelle bien que cette réaction de Microsoft est moins pour acquérir un parc d'utilisateur que pour contrer Google dans sa suprématie du web, et de la recherche en particulier. Mais si les revenus publicitaire de Yahoo et Microsoft combiné sont de 8,2 milliards, ils se tiennent encore a distance des massies 16,4 milliards de Google. De ce fait non seulement au niveau quantitatif, les chiffres sont peu flatteurs, c'est au niveau qualitatif que le bas blesse le plus. En effet, dans l'industrie internet ce ne sont pas les serveurs qui comptent, ce sont les algorythmes derrière qui fond la valeur de ces caisses de metal. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dès lors, si Microsoft cherche à contrer Google, ce n'est pas en achetant une autre compagnie distancée technologiquement par Google que la firme de Redmont va augmenter ses résultats de R&amp;amp;D. Dans le domaine de la recherche 1+1 ne font pas 2, et là en l'occurence j'ai bien peur que 1+1=1, car ce n'est pas en alignant deux moteurs de 300 chevaux qu'on en obtient un de 600, et j'espère que Microsoft ne le croit pas. Surtout si l'on connait la série de mauvaise décision de Yahoo ces derniers temps: echec du rachat de Youtube et JotSpot laissés à Google, refus d'acheter Facebook pour 1 milliards de dollar en 2005 (la participation de Microsoft le valorise a 15 maintenant!), refus d'entrer assez tôt dans le marché de la publicité contextuelle, passé à côté du marché des petits publicitaires (80% des entreprises sont des PME que Google a su amener dans son giront avec Adsense et Adwords), mauvaise exploitation de son rachat d'Overture, echec et eutanasie de Yahoo 360 etc... et le retour du fondateur de Yahoo, Jerry Yang n'a pas changé grand chose si on se fie à "l'action", ou plutôt au manque d'action  autour de Yahoo ces 100 derniers jours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Est-ce alors un mouvement desesperé pour acquérir des parts de marchés, avant que le web ne se résume à Google et Facebook? Quelles synergies Microsoft peut-il vraiment tirer de Yahoo, et quelle durée cela va-til prendre connaissant la nature du marché, l'opposition culturelle des deux firmes et l'évolution très rapide des TI orientées web?&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;Ressources:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="external" title="http://money.cnn.com/2000/01/10/deals/aol_warner" href="http://money.cnn.com/2000/01/10/deals/aol_warner" target="blank" rel="external nofollow"&gt;http://money.cnn.com/2000/01/10/deals/aol_warner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="external" title="http://archive.salon.com/tech/col/rose/2000/01/10/aol_time/" href="http://archive.salon.com/tech/col/rose/2000/01/10/aol_time/" target="blank" rel="external nofollow"&gt;http://archive.salon.com/tech/col/rose/2000/01/10/aol_time/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortune Vol 157, No 3, Feb 18, p.18-25  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-2856961732962307013?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Un peuple est la somme de générations de personnes. Je crois qu'il ya quand même des générations qui se dessinent au fil du temps. Le concept de génération vient avec l'apparition d'évènements marquant. Ainsi comme on a marqué la génération des baby boomers avec les soixante-huitards, bientôt on parlera de la génération internet etc... Mais à mon sens, ad vitam aeternam, une génération aura des reproches à formuler à la génération précédente. Ca fait parti d'une sorte de mélancolie d'un temps révolu que l'on n'a pas vécu. Ce que je trouve drôle, c'est qu'il suffit de savoir que la mémoire est sélective et que l'on tendance à embellir les souvenir pour arrêter de dépeindre un portrait doré du passé et assombrir notre présent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, on parle de fautes commises par les générations précédentes qui ont été plus épicuriennes que l'on voudrait. Je crois que ces fautes là sont vraies. Il n’y a qu'à voir le nombre de familles nucléaires, les familles éclatés, d'autres reconstituées pour s'en rendre compte. Pourtant on commet aujourd'hui les mêmes fautes qu'avant et ce n'est pas prêt de s'arrêter. Là où je rejoins ta pensée c'est qu'effectivement on ne joui pas moins de notre vie qu'avant, on en jouirait même plus au vu de tout ce qui peut nous être offert aujourd'hui vis à vis de ce que nos parents ou grands-parents ont vécu. Le train est en marche et tout le monde le prend: on jouit beaucoup plus de la vie à titre individuel que ne l'ont fait les anciens ou certains pays moins "développés". Ca peut rejoindre un peu le concept d'esprit de société qui je crois s'étiole un peu de ce bord là du "développement". &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos parents ou grands-parents ont été activistes, se sont battus pour la libération des sexes, se sont battus pour le respect du français au Canada etc. aujourd'hui on se bat pour l'environnement et pour le respect du français au Canada. Certaines choses changent d'autres pas. Mais on vit la même chose dans un cadre différent. La seule tendence commune et qui me désole quelque peu, c'est un nombrilisme qui s'accroit avec des plaisirs de plus en plus individuels et un sens du devoir vis à vis des générations futures qui décroit. Je ne parle même pas du concept de la communauté qui a éclaté à mon sens (à quand remonte la dernière fois que vous avez parlé à votre voisin, que vous avez fait quelque chose pour la communauté?...) À cet égard, on est donc voué à recevoir les reproches des générations futures quant à notre épicurisme. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors que l'on arrête de rabâcher les fautes de nos ainés, qu'on arrête de les responsabiliser. C'est facile de s'adosser à une responsabilité collective. 'C’est facile de rejeter la faute sur autrui, mais quid de nous même? Quelle est notre responsabilité vis à vis de nos pairs aujourd'hui et de nos enfants demain? C'est là la question. C'est là où la réflexion commence... pour assurer notre présent et un meilleur avenir. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'était mes deux sous de réflexion un peu déstructurés je l'avoue.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-4251206627646374953?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Les parents se déresponsabilisent sur l'autel d'une école foure tout. Si on restreignait l'école au temple du savoir qu'elle est censée etre et que l'on redonne la responsabilité du civisme et de l'écudation dans le sens francais et non anglais du terme, je crois que çà soulagerait l'école et que ca repartirait son budget de meilleur maniere. Ca conduirait peut etre meme a avoir de meilleurs resultats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais la réalité est triste, on fait de plus en plus de outsourcing dans les companies, tout commen on en fait dans les familles: on externalise l'éducation à l'école et ensuite on lui reproche de ne pas exceller. Ce n'est pas sa vocation premiere. Point. Tout comme on reproche à la Chine de fabriquer des jouets contaminés après lui avoir délaissé tout notre secteur manufacturier en quelques années. Ce n'est pas sa vocation première. Point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tout comme pour la Chine, si on fait çà à l'école, il va lui falloir du temps et peut-être de l'argent en plus pour en faire plus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'école est censée inculquer le savoir. Même si savoir et éducation sont proches, même s'ils se complètent, si on veut lui délaisser l'éducation de nos enfants, le civisme et la résponsabilité citoyenne, alors il faut lui donner les moyens de nos aspirations. Or que voit-on aujourd'hui? De plus en plus d'heures de travail pour les parents, de moins en moins d'heures pour jouir de leur enfants et pour leur inculquer les bases sociales. On délaisse ce rôle à l'école, à la télévision, à internet ou plus généralement à la société. Alors que l'on ne viennent pas ensuite se plaindre!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je sais que les parents ont moins de temps à accorder à leur enfants, mais c'est de leur résponsabilité civique que de faire ce suivi de leur investissement. Quand quelqu'un investit en bourse, il fait le suivi de ses actions. Il ne laisse pas la résponsabilité du marcher de faire fructifier ses biens. Tout comme des actions, les enfants sont les actifs des parents (on pourrait même en évaluer le retour sur investissement!), alors faites en le suivi et arretons de faire échoir des résponsabilités à une entité qui en a déjà bien assez. Ou alors, arretons de se plaindre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-3729799041218625229?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Please welcome Facebook spams!</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Whether you are encountering random invites to become X's friend or to install Y application. If you receive a couple of messages from the administrator of a group promoting this event, or that product. Then, you can be glad to be among the numerous people facing the new Facebook spam hassle. It appears then that &lt;a href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/idl/papers/facebook/"&gt;43% of all facebook messages could be defined as spam according to a study conducted by HP Labs&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/idl/papers/facebook/"&gt;Information Dynamics Laborator&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As &lt;a href="http://cooney.typepad.com/lauren_cooneys_blog/2007/11/facebook---anno.html"&gt;Lauren Cooney highlights it in her experience&lt;/a&gt;, Facebook is victim of its success as it shifted from a personal tool to (re)connect to a mix of personal and professional plateform to network with others (potential clients?). Now people try to figure out how to use the power of the social network to conduct business. In my sense, most of them conduct it in the old way with push marketing without using effectively interesting interactions with potential customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether you like it or not, you have to accept it. The only thing that makes me angry is the hypocrisy behind a lot of groups.  Many group admin use the group to spam people for product, service or events, at least groups like Ernst &amp;amp; Young are honest as they are "sponsored"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That raises two points in my sens that can be solved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The managing issue is due to the fact that Facebook does not allow you to edit some basic group features, just with the applications. As a user, you should be able to chose how you want to interact with a group: receive or not messages from the group admin, receive or not notification of new posts, or group modifications etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, the community issue is due to the lack of real "self regulation" tool. People in a group cannot dismiss an admin of a group or even a person there. The admin has all the rights. In fact that's against the web 2.0 spirit. I am sure that you all noticed the little thumbs up and the cross on facebook's News Feed. They should add that for every member and every post in a group. That would make sens in a web 2.0 spirit and will help self-manage groups. of course the dismissal would be after many people "report" that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually i really don't understand why the programmers of Facebook do not give the user more managing power over their own Facebook's experience. Perhaps that's only made to let more interaction instead of leaving the user to chose to limit them to his will.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-6749170236187299078?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Et ces derniers font gagner beaucoup d'argent à &lt;u&gt; Goldman Sachs (Benefice de 40% impressionnant en 2007!!) &lt;/u&gt; et autres Morgan Stanley;-) Or ces derniers aiment l'argent, et surtout aiment éviter l'incertain et le risque, or &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;maintenir les fonds en confiance est le principal facteur qui leur permet de faire des affaires&lt;/span&gt;. et les cabinet de conseil de même. Donc le brain washing c'est une partie de l'explication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, concernant les petits porteurs: quand un Morgan Stanley et assimilés prononce une lettre ou une recommandation (et surtout s'il l'obtient gratuitement (ce qui est un autre débat car il pense qu'il a choppé une information...alors qu'&lt;u&gt;on a fait en sorte qu'il aie l'information sur l'évolution des marchés financier&lt;/u&gt;....toute la différence...c'est pour çà que je travaille sur la &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;compétitive intelligence&lt;/span&gt;;-) faire la différence est important))&lt;br /&gt;Bref c'est un autre débat, ce que je veux dire c'est que le petit porteur a le syndrome du comportement moutonnier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concernant le prof de fusac, çà avait pas besoin de sous titres, c'est pour faire des affaires...une fois il a même lâché qu'il lui est arrivé de revendre la MÊME boite 3 FOIS!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ce que je ne comprends pas par contre, c'est la réaction de la fed.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Sur la &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FED&lt;/span&gt;, je comprends que tu ne comprenne pas, mais je sais pas si c'est pour çà.&lt;br /&gt;En fait, moi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;lorsque des phénomènes économiques majeurs se passent, et que ca semble irrationnel ou illogique, je remonte d'un cran pour mettre cela à l'échelle politique&lt;/span&gt;. M Bernanke, je pense, ne prend pas ses décisions dans son bureau seul avec son cigare, ni même seulement avec le comité de direction de la fed a lui seul.&lt;br /&gt;Cela est donc a évaluer au niveau politique, une des explications possibles (je dis bien possible) est que le gouvernement, jusqu'au départ de Bush, a besoin de $.&lt;br /&gt;Ainsi, la Fed ne peut pas se permettre de laisser filer la bourse, car les rentrées en taxes décroitront avec la baisse de l'activité financière, et économique a fortiori. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pour soutenir l'effort de guerre, il n'a pas d'autre choix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cela en partie grâce a un livre que tu avais laissé, les 7 sœurs (un très bon livre même si un peu obsolète, mais les leçons a en tirer restent d'actualité)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce qui fait que tes remarques pour ralentir en douceur sont applicables, mais quand le feu vert viendra du domaine politique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allez, allah y 3aounek pour les examens!&lt;br /&gt;Salam&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-3796865370830464564?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

OR, il s'avère que &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;l'importance des liquidités sur les marchés et la baisse des taux ne permet pas l'épuration naturelle&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment et quand se fera l'épuration des excès des marchés financiers??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mon avis,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; chaque année qui s'écoulera après 2007 et qui verra la bourse croitre encore plus sera une année de trop, et un accélérateur pour la crise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je pense que ça ne trompe plus personne que les marchés financiers sont en train de divorcer de l'économie réelle. OR le problème c'est que tout le monde pense ce que tu penses et ce que je pense, mais les commentaires du genre de celui du gars de Morgan Stanley compliquent la donne. Personne ne veut etre le premier a retirer ses billes...ni le dernier.&lt;br /&gt;Ce genre de commentaire est piloté je pense par les headquarters de ces compagnies et vise a maintenir sous une sorte de PERFUSION les marchés...ce qui est toujours bénéfique pour les invesment banks et les cabinets de conseil!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tu ne verra jamais ce  genre d'organisme donner un point de vue pessimistes, ils sont toujours ls derniers à accepter.

Well here is a little masterpiece by Jim Freeman about Al Gore's Nobel Prize:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In a stunning reversal, but true &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;to their core beliefs, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 today that Al Gore cannot accept the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize awarded him.&lt;br /&gt;The court, in an unsigned finding (as are all Gore decisions) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;responded to George Bush's anticipatory plea for a restraining order based on the fact that "it's not all that hot out anyhow and what in the hell has that got to do with peace?"&lt;br /&gt;Naming the Nobel Committee "just a bunch of Norwegian troublemakers," the court held that Gore cannot accept an award from "those who live too far north to know what warm really feels like." The ruling came within twenty minutes of the announcement and caught Nancy Pelosi, uncharacteristically, in a brown dress.&lt;br /&gt;Dana Perino said the White House would have no comment other than an unconfirmed report by a source that declines to be identified, that the president called Chief Justice John Roberts, effusing "this is the second time that bum has had his ears trimmed by this court and you'd think he'd have finally learned a lesson."&lt;br /&gt;According to a source close to the president, this is only the secon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;d time in his career that he has effused.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RxMuDEvQXHI/AAAAAAAABno/43QQbyg6tTQ/s1600-h/gore+foudroy%C3%A9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RxMuDEvQXHI/AAAAAAAABno/43QQbyg6tTQ/s320/gore+foudroy%C3%A9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121487831596817522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The reaction of Al Gore when he heard the news! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually Bush should have shared the price with Gore, as without all the mistakes he did, Al Gore wouln't have the same spotlight on his face!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So i vote for a nobel shared between Bush and Al gore, not with the UN blablah... ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know it's like the good and the bad cop: they had to be in a duo in order to notice them. So, are Gore and Bush! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, that's quite funny that a person could be nobel prized for peace because of fighting global warming as there is no real relationship with peace. But the bottom line is that the buzz is growing: on both sides: Gore's and the Nobel's ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's all about communication. I m sure that there is someone who died, or who is saving a lot of people from the war in Irak, but no one notices because THIS IS NOT ORIGINAL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's unfortunate, that's sad, but that's true: it's far more original a former ex-running president which converted into fighting global warming and which succeeded in drawing attention toward the cause!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not say that what he did is not great, i m just stating that's not that great to see how people want original things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I m not sure that the money and the attention he got were very necessary. There are far more other peace cause which needed that! Each award carries a cash prize of 10 million Swedish kronor, which this year is worth about $1.54 million. So Gore will go with roughly 700 000$, that's not a lot as he is used to give conferences for 100 000$, but still, i am curious to see how he will use his money? A good move would be to give it to a charity, an anti-global warming or a peace movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RxMvIkvQXJI/AAAAAAAABn4/oRUfDjaV9dM/s1600-h/gore+oscar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RxMvIkvQXJI/AAAAAAAABn4/oRUfDjaV9dM/s320/gore+oscar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121489025597725842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;After the Oscar and the Emmy, here comes the Nobel! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally here is a little opinion as i liked the view of The Koreatimes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/opinon/2007/10/137_11897.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="font"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Not to deny Al Gore his full honors but it seems to us that the Nobel went rather far afield in awarding the former vice president the prize for peace for espousing and publicizing a special, if widely held, view of climatology. And indeed Gore did share the award with 2,000 or so scientists who make up the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally the prize goes to what are more generally considered peace activists -- Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, for example.And although the list is secret Gore's rivals for the awards included a roster of longtime human rights advocates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; The success of Gore's film ``An Inconvenient Truth," an Oscar-winning documentary that takes an alarmist view of climate change, especially global warming (Gore says "we face a true planetary emergency"), positioned him for the prize. And a British court has questioned some of the claims in the film, among them that sea levels will rise 20 feet ``in the near future." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; The Nobel committee made the long stretch linking global warming and world peace by arguing that the disruption, mass migrations and competition for natural resources caused by climate change could mean ``increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Nobel officials deny it but many others see the award as a jab at the Bush administration for its rejection of an international treaty calling for drastic reductions in carbon emissions. Among them is global warming skeptic Bjorn Lonborg who saw nothing wrong with giving the prize to the U.N. panel but said, ``Awarding it to Al Gore cannot be seen as anything other than a political statement." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, as Gore surely learned after the Florida recount when he almost became president, once you've won it really doesn't matter how you got there. Andit is not as if Gore is a late comer to the cause of environmentalism or something he took up to keep his name in the news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; The environment has been a career-long avocation of his. Shortly before he became vice president he published the bestselling and also alarmist ``Earth in the Balance." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Even though we're still not sure we see the link between peace and polar bears, we congratulate Al Gore and the U.N. scientists on their prize.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-3624143910298456490?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Si la spéculation de la fin des années 90 était orientée haute technologie puis entrainant dans son sillage les autres secteurs. Dans ce cas-là j'ai l'impression que l'engouement est total.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Je croyais vraiment que le marché immobilier était celui qui aurait le plus d'impact sur la santé des ménages et donc la consommations et donc la croissance. Vu que nos chers américains ont un taux d'épargne proche de 1%, quand on cherche à évaluer la croissance, ce sont les indices de la consommation qu'il faut voir! Mais visiblement j'ai eu tort, le marché repart de plus belle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette frénésie me semble tellement irrationnelle, j'ai l'impression que les marchés font une sorte de fuite en avant. Et la FED n'a pas aidé la réflexion en diminuant de 0,5% les taux directeurs. Ça assure une fausse confiance: celle des marchés financiers qui ne vont pas hésiter à s'adosser au support de la FED dans le futur. C'est insensé!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RwiGbUvQW-I/AAAAAAAABmc/hbW1tN6b_Co/s1600-h/Wall_Street.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 177px; height: 131px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RwiGbUvQW-I/AAAAAAAABmc/hbW1tN6b_Co/s320/Wall_Street.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118488780488072162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;C'est drôle d'entendre: "Les autorités sont en train de résoudre les problèmes", atteste Teun Draaisma, de Morgan Stanley. Ou encore "Tout le monde s'attend à une nouvelle baisse des taux".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Même des grandes banques s'engouffrent dans ce genre de remarques. Diminuer les taux c'est comme mettre un pansement, il faut soit soigner après, soit le corps prends soin de lui-même tout seul. Maintenant on doit voir si l'économie américaine va prendre soin d'elle toute seule, ou si on va la soigner! Or c'est comme n'importe quelle maladie, si tu n'en voit pas trop les symptômes, tu as tendance penser que c'est bénin. Et c'est exactement ce que la FED a fait: elle a diminué les taux (l'équivalent d'une aspirine), le marché c'est calmé (baisse de la température), et on a l'impression que tout va bien. Mais les problèmes de fonds (la maladie) n'est pas résolue!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RwiG60vQW_I/AAAAAAAABmk/HwFpMuOixwI/s1600-h/wallstreet460+gecko.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 127px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_-PJ53soluZI/RwiG60vQW_I/AAAAAAAABmk/HwFpMuOixwI/s320/wallstreet460+gecko.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118489321653951474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Des fois, en entendant le genre de propos de cette personne de Morgan Stanley, je me dis que certaines personnes sont juste en train de défendre leurs positions, en nous faisant miroiter de bonnes nouvelles. Je ne suis pas particulièrement pessimiste vis à vis de la bourse, mais je trouve qu'à l'heure actuelle le comportement des institutionnels comme des privés commence à perdre contact avec la réalité économique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'espere que je me trompe.

C'est une belle experience que de cotoyer ce monde là et de voir l'autre côté du miroir! ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Je partagerais quelques unes de mes intérventions ici. Voici ma première....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Analyse des informations de la semaine du 24 au 28 septembre 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;1.- Nouvelle de la semaine:&lt;/span&gt; Le Canada seul pays du G7 ayant un surplus budgétaire&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;. Est-ce bon ?&lt;br /&gt;Le budget fédéral du Canada a noté un surplus de 13,8 milliards de dollars lors de l’année fiscale précédente. Ce surplus est encore plus important que les prévisions et servirait selon Stephen Harper à combler la dette gouvernementale : "Évidemment, nous allons les utiliser pour réduire les impôts." &lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(si besoin de plus d’infos : Le gouvernement a récolté plus d’argent (la prévision au printemps était de 9,2 milliards) et a dépensé 700 millions de moins que prévu. Est-ce pour autant une bonne nouvelle? Les détracteurs, comme le nouveaux Nouveau Parti Démocratique estime que les surplus ne devraient pas être automatiquement affectés au remboursement de la dette, mais Ottawa a réduit la dette nationale de 14 milliards $ l'an dernier, économisant 725 millions $ en intérêts annuels, a précisé M. Harper. Ces économies, dit-il, seront utilisées pour accorder de nouvelles réductions d'impôts aux contribuables.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;2.- Bonne nouvelle de la semaine:&lt;/span&gt; L’immigration des Etats-Unis vers le Canada est à son plus haut depuis 30 ans&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;De plus en plus de nos voisins du sud viennent immigrer au Canada, alors que de moins en moins de nos concitoyens font la démarche inverse&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;. L’association d’études canadiennes&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt; a montré dans son étude que de nombreux immigrants venant des Etats-Unis délaissent leur contrée et viennent chercher la qualité de vie canadienne. Plus de 10 000 ressortissants américains, dont une majorité ayant une bonne éducation ont franchi le pas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(si besoin de plus d’infos : Jack Jedwab, le directeur exécutif de l’association souligne que la majorité de ces migrants ont un diplôme universitaire en poche et qu’ils n’auraient dès lors aucun mal à trouver un emploi aux Etats-Unis, la raison de cette augmentation de flux migratoire et donc à chercher ailleurs. Les suppositions sont donc la qualité de vie, le système médical et, comme le rapporte Tom Kertes un récent immigrant : "Les mots « droits de l’homme » sont des mots étrangers aux Etats-Unis. Il ne les appliquent qu’aux autres pays.” Il souligne la qualité de l’accueil à Toronto et la tolérance visible dont les canadiens sont fiers.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;3.- Mauvaise nouvelle de la semaine:&lt;/span&gt; La réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre est surestimée&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"&gt;[6]&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Les experts de la table ronde nationale sur l’environnement et l’économie révèlent que le gouvernement conservateur a surestimé la réduction permise par sa politique visant les changements climatiques. Face au coût du projet, les chances que le gouvernement atteigne les objectifs de l’accord de Kyoto d’ici 2012. On espère au moins en tout cas que les émissions vont bien arrêter d’augmenter d’ici 2010 comme le prévoit ce rapport, quitte à mettre plus de temps pour atteindre les objectifs initiaux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;4.- Personnalité de la semaine:&lt;/span&gt; Une petite touche « people » avec Paris Hilton qui vient profiter des joies de notre belle ville de Montréal.&lt;br /&gt;Paris Hilton n’avait jamais encore foulé des pieds le sol montréalais, voilà c’est chose faite depuis dimanche 23 septembre où elle a fait la joie de ses fans en passant la soirée dans un club bien connu dans le Vieux-Port (rue St Jacques). Certains ont attendu à l’entrée depuis 18h30, pourtant après 23h30 il fallait se rendre à l’évidence, la starlette n’est pas si accessible que ca et beaucoup de fans rentreront déçu chez eux sans même avoir pu danser sur la même piste qu’elle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;5.- Chose trop ou pas assez parlée dans la semaine:&lt;/span&gt; Pas assez : les Québécois, de plus en plus entrepreneur.&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"&gt;[7]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un sondage publié par la Banque Royal le 28 septembre montre une importante augmentation du taux de Québécois prévoyant de créer leur propre entreprise. Ce chiffre est donc passé de 400 000 en 2005 à 630 000 aujourd’hui, soit une hausse de plus de 50%. La confiance règne donc. Et tant mieux, car le Québec souffre encore d’un des taux de chômages les plus importants du pays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(si besoin de plus d’infos : Parmi ceux qui aspirent à créer une entreprise, 74% de répondants sont actuellement employés et 36% ont déjà été travailleurs autonomes. 54% sont des hommes et 46% sont des femmes. Le sondage a été réalisé en ligne du 27 juillet au 3 août par la maison Ipsos Reid auprès de 3806 Canadiens adultes. La marge d'erreur est de 2,1%, 19 fois sur 20.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.- Héro ou « Zéro » de la semaine:&lt;/span&gt; Héro : Le ministre des transports&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"&gt;[8]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a vu les femmes s’injecter du botox pour paraître plus jeunes, le ministère des transports va bientôt injecter 9 milliards de dollars pour rendre notre belle province encore plus belle. On va bientôt assister à la plus grande expansion du réseau routier depuis 40 ans, et ca va enfin je l’espère mettre un terme à tous les trous qu’on voit de manière permanente sur les routes du Québec. C’est juste dommage qu’il a fallu attendre les divers drames de ces derniers mois pour observer cette prise de conscience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;7.- Déclaration de la semaine:&lt;/span&gt; « ça commence à devenir considérable».&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"&gt;[9]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici la réponse de Michel Beaudet, créateur des « têtes à claques » devant le contrat signé avec Canal+ une chaîne privée française pour la diffusion des 45 premières capsules à partir de janvier prochain. Et oui, notre cher accent québécois commencent à s’exporter outre atlantique. On souhaite à nos cousins d’Europe de prendre autant de plaisir que nous devant oncle Tom. « C’est pas beautiful ca »?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;8.- Image qui m’a frappé:&lt;/span&gt; L’arrivée d’immigrants illégaux à WindsorDepuis 3 semaines, 45 familles ont franchis la frontière Canadienne et se sont notamment réfugiées à Windsor, fille frontalière. Cela pose le problème de la gestion de ce surcoût notamment pour les autorités locales. Certains reprochent aux Etats-Unis de leur faire subir les lacunes de leur système d’immigration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/fn/5169867.html"&gt;http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/fn/5169867.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://info.branchez-vous.com/Nationales/070927/N0927146U.html"&gt;http://info.branchez-vous.com/Nationales/070927/N0927146U.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2007/08/01/good-news-abc-american-liberals-leaving-canada"&gt;http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2007/08/01/good-news-abc-american-liberals-leaving-canada&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref4" name="_ftn4"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.thestar.com/News/article/243555"&gt;http://www.thestar.com/News/article/243555&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref5" name="_ftn5"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.acs-aec.ca/"&gt;http://www.acs-aec.ca/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref6" name="_ftn6"&gt;[6]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070921.wharperenvironment0922/BNStory/National/home"&gt;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070921.wharperenvironment0922/BNStory/National/home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref7" name="_ftn7"&gt;[7]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070928/LAINFORMER/70928021/-1/LAINFORMER"&gt;http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070928/LAINFORMER/70928021/-1/LAINFORMER&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref8" name="_ftn8"&gt;[8]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070928/CPACTUALITES/709280707/6782/CPACTUALITES"&gt;http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070928/CPACTUALITES/709280707/6782/CPACTUALITES&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=23033381#_ftnref9" name="_ftn9"&gt;[9]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070926/LAINFORMER/70926016/-1/LAINFORMER"&gt;http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070926/LAINFORMER/70926016/-1/LAINFORMER&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-7097271168224054012?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

En fait, dans le cas contraire je serais deja conseiller ou je ne sais pas quoi;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;En tout les cas, les sarko-coups, je suis d'avis à ce qu'ils sont non pas seulement médiatiques, mais très stratégiques, et de ce niveau il est fort ya rien a dire!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a reussi à étouffer toutes les forces d'opposition sans aucune offensive, alors même que sa majorité à l'assemblée n'est pas aussi écrasante. Il a balayé cela en 1 mois, et le voici aujourdhui se consacrant à 100% aux affaires internationnales (c plus flatteur pour l'ego et plus complexe). Il est donc rapide et efficace...mais je ne me leurre pas, recruter une black et une arabe (j'insiste bien sur le UNE=minimum symbolic) c pas de bon coeur ou d'ouverture d'esprit, mais purement stratégique. Ce qui est à esperer c que ce tabou une fois cassé, l'externalité positive soit que ses successeurs en fassent de même. Mais le but restera pour longtemps stratégique et non pour les compétences personelles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sinon, en ce qui concerne l'integration, sociale et non politique, je pense que l'on est définitivement parti pour une voire deux générations de racisme caché.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les sionnistes et les évangéliste américains les soutenant vont aussi dans ce sens, ils sont à ce titre pour moi les vis-à-vis de ben laden et consors, sauf qu'ils ont plus de moyens...ce qui est plus grave, et leur terrorisme se fait à l'echelle étatique et non de guerillas (cf israel, irak, soutien de l'ethiopie contre les tribunaux islamiques à coups de raids aeriens....et les exemples sont nombreux) Ces evangéliste, qui d'ailleurs ont le pouvoir de bloquer la réelection de nimporte quel parlementaire aux US, sont pour l'état du Grand Israel car selon eux jesus ne reviendra que si les juifs sont sur ces terre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cela empire notre spirale infernale. 1/3 des français se disent racistes, mais à mon avis plus de 50% le sont.&lt;br /&gt;Aussi, dis toi que tant que les clashs civilisationnels feront de l'audience, les médias en parleront, et les mettront sous les projecteurs...a mon avis...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aussi, moi je ne cherche plus à ce que chaque personne qui ait à faire à moi, ait à comprendre mon islam&lt;/em&gt;...c trop d'energie perdue pour rien...Les medias ont inventé un islam modéré (que j'apelle moi protestant, car les pratiquants de cet islam protestent contre les règles elementaires de l'islam qui sont les obligations élémentaires et l'évitement des péchés) donc à chacun sont islam, et epèront que l'on sera agréé par Dieu, car les hommes ne nous sauveront en rien après la mort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pour répondre à ton paragraphe de question, je te répondrais en bullet points (yen a tellement;-)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pour ce qui est du retour aux source&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, eh bien c le retour aux sources de l'islam qui enseigne tout ce dont nous avons besoin (je parle au niveau social) et non économique et technique. ainsi, un musulman ne tue pas de civils sans raison majeure (guerre, meurtre...) il ne vole pas et ne corromp pas, il ne mange pas l'intérêt, et ne dis pas de mal des autres....tu me dira elementaire, mais à ma surprise tellement de gens dans les pays musulmans n'ont pas idée de cela...au maroc par exemple, combien de gens marient leur fille de force, combien font la corruption, combien médisent ( à ce titre, le prophète saws passa devant deux tombes, et dit à ses compagnons: les deux occupants de cette tombe sont chatié, mais même pas pour grand chose: l'un ne se cachait pas quand il urinait, et l'autre faisait la namiama ou médisance si tu préfère)...enfin, le retour aux sources c'est pour moi prendre l'islam et ses enseignements dans leur contexte, ainsi on tire la sagesse d'une parole et non seulement l'acte....très important &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cultiver la différence&lt;/strong&gt; est pas compliqué&lt;/em&gt;: dire que l'on est de telle religion, le faire savoir, et se respecter sur ce fondement, ni plus ni moins. que lorsque le juif ne veuille pas faire la fête le samedi on ne lui reproche tien, lorsque le sikh veut mettre son turban on ne lui reproche rien, lorsque le chretien (pour les chretiens ya plus grand chose de dogmatique malheureusement, fo bien creusr pour trouver une pratique sacré aujourdhui chez les chretiens post modernes) disions les evangelistes, plus religieux, donc lorsque ces derniers veulent faire leur mariage à l'eglise on leur reproche rien, lorsque le musulman ne veut pas s'assoir dans une table ou il y a de l'alcool on ne lui reproche rien...c cela cultiver la différence dans la tolérance. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pour les tribunaux religieux&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;sur la charia&lt;/em&gt;...yen a même pas dans les pays musulmans pour la plupart...comment vouloir les exporter ailleurs...commencons par nous corriger avant de vouloir corriger le monde (la deuxième partie de la phrase c pour faire joli, car c a dieu de changer le monde s'il le veut pas aux hommes, les hommes doivent se preoccuper de leur communauté, car sur le monde, même bush n'a aucune emprise, tellement de paramètres interviennent.... &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;L'état laic&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, c'est quoi selon toi, il faut m'explique ce que tu entends par cela.&lt;br /&gt;Si c'est un état ou l'argent ne peut plus servir à subventionner la mosquée, alors cela devient un état occidental, si c'est un état à la turque ou l'armée à plus de pouvoir que le gouvernement (elle l'a renversé 5 fois en moins de 50 ans si je me souviens bien) alors c'est une dictature militaire cachée, si c'est à la francaise ou on doit obliger la fille à se dévétir à l'ecole et l'obliger à aller à la piscine et à se dévetir à la piscine et à aller dans les piscines mixtes obligatoirement, alors la on est responsable de troubles graves, à fortiori si elle ne le veut pas. l'etat laic n'existe pas en islam et ne peut pas exister à mon avis, j'ai beau creuser pour voir et trouver un état laic ou l'islam est épanoui, je ne trouve pas, sauf la turquie, mais la turquie c'est une dictature militaire donc c une autre problématique. L'état laic est une invention occidentale qui remet en cause nos croyances, doit on adopter tout ce qui est occidental en ouvrant la bouche et en fermant les yeux....et entre nous...trouve moi un état laic non corrompu, je te souhaite bonne chance, un etat arabe democrate...econre moins....seul la palestine a lancé la democratie dans le monde arabe...le hamas a gagné...on l'a étoufé...la democratie n'est pas possible dans le monde arabe, d'ailleurs, elle est incompatible avec l'islam à mon avis, car un mécréant, un tueur, un voleur, un menteur, un hypocrite, un buvenur d'alcool, chacun de cela ont le même droit de vote qu'un musulman honnete et intègre....est-ce logique. Non car le coran dans diverses versets nous dit que ceux la ne sont pas égaux...va-on aller à l'encontre du coran et les rendre egaux?&lt;br /&gt;L'islam à mon avis c'est plus une religion qui a comme externalité le régime thocratique (naturel, comme cela est le cas pour les juifs depuis toujours, et les chretiens pendant 19siècles et l'islam pendant 13 siècles)...on voit que comme d'habitude seuls les juifs arrivent à bien évoluer tout en tenant à leur religion, pourquoi pas nous? En israel, pour epouser une juive, il faut se convertir, c'est heureusement encore le cas dans certains pays islamiques....voila tout. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Tout cela parait sorcier à expliquer, mais il faut du temps, de l'humilité et un peu de croyance et tout est logique. Mais bon quand c'est deformé...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tu va maintenant comprendre pourquoi je ne ve plus perdre de temps à expliquer, car plus on avance plus tout devient de plus en plus logique, mais complexe et long...alors je me dis, si quelqu'un veut trouver l'essence de la chose qu'il la cherche lui même, mais je vais pas commencer à perdre 30min à chaque fois à expliquer pourquoi je ve pas prendre un crédit à intérêts ou autre chose à laquelle je crois...c trop long...alors toi je le fais parce que t mon cousin t pas nimporte qui quand même.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D'ailleurs, un des signes de la fin des temps est qu'il sera de plus en plus difficile de vivre sa religion....j'ai l'impression que c'est ce qui se passe actuellement...lol&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-5667326906817798647?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

[Part 1] : L'intégration de l'immigrant dans la politique locale.</title><description>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;Suite à l'article paru dans &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Le Monde.fr avec Malek Boutih (PS) : "Chez nous, c'est "Good Bye Lénine" !":&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3224,36-927673,0.html"&gt;http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3224,36-927673,0.html&lt;/a&gt;. Extrait:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aucune personnalité issue de la diversité n'a émergé au PS à la faveur des élections. Comment expliquez-vous cet échec ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Il existe un consensus de façade alors que cette question n'est pas pensée au PS - comme beaucoup d'autres d'ailleurs. Ma conclusion, à travers mon expérience d'ancien président de SOS-Racisme et à la direction du PS, c'est que tout ce qui a trait à la société dans laquelle nous vivons, la violence, le travail, le droit à l'émancipation sociale, l'identité, le parti n'a pas voulu les regarder en face. Il n'y a jamais eu de débat politique sur la diversité. Il s'agit à chaque fois de passer entre les gouttes, d'avoir quelques candidats sans déséquilibrer les enjeux de courants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vous étiez chargé des questions de société au PS. Pourquoi n'avez-vous pas porté ce débat ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;A la demande du bureau national, j'ai proposé un rapport sur l'immigration. Je l'ai remis à François Hollande. La première chose qu'il a faite c'est de le cacher et de prier pour qu'on n'en parle pas. Quand il a quand même émergé, il s'est empressé d'éteindre tout débat de fond en obtenant, il faut bien le dire, un certain consensus. La diversité ne se réduit pas à l'immigration, certes. Mais j'ai compris que des dirigeants du PS forment un cénacle qui n'aime pas la société telle qu'elle est, qui ne s'y projette pas et qui garde la mélancolie des années 1970. Chez nous, c'est "Good Bye Lénine !" &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Réaction de &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/09800913268932441545"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;snooook&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tu parles, de la pure hypocrisie d'un côté comme de l'autre...&lt;br /&gt;Les DSK, fabius et autres souris du PS sont plus conservateurs que beaucoup d'UMPistes...leur faire rentrer dans le crane qu'un rebeu ou un black aura une circonscription à la place d'un M Martin ou d'une marie c pas demain la veille.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais je ne suis pas plus enthousiaste à l'idée de voir ces petits beurs, si tu pass l'expression, faire la manche pour avoir une circonscription...et moi je pense que c pas pour bientôt que l'on va voir un melting pot en france...Il faut se faire une raison,&lt;br /&gt;Les sociétés deviennent de plus en plus hermétiques au mélange au vu de ce qui se passe dans le monde. Si ces petits beurs veulent s'intégrer, il faudra que leurs congénaires arretent de se faire sauter, et de sauter les civils à la louche.&lt;br /&gt;Le francais de base ne sais pas lire entre les lignes de TF1, tu sais, et TF1 ne fait d'ailleurs rien pour distiller ses messages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si ces petits beurs veulent s'intégrer, il va falloir à mon avis qu'ils arretent d'essayer de péter plus haut que leur ptit cul, et de ne pas se détacher de leur racines pour vouloir se fondre dans ce dans quoi ils ne pourront jamais se fondre...physique oblige.&lt;br /&gt;Il faut qu'ils arretent de vouloir se melanger à 100%, car ils ne seront jamais des 100% français, quoi qu'ils fassent c'est un fait. Il faut donc qu'ils cultivent leur différence, qu'ils cultivent leur racine, leur identité....cela s'apelle reculer pour mieux sauter. Ils ne pourront avoir des bases solides et une fierté de leur différence qu'une fois qu'ils se rendront compte que ce n'est pas en tournant le dos à leur culture et leur religion que de l'autre coté l'autre culture leur sourira....il y a peu de chances pour que cela arrive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est pour ca que ce qui se passe au PS ne me choque pas, le PS reflète le mode de pensée des francais en general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Réponse de &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/03078022560281833421"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ilias&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; :&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je ne crois pas que ce soit un mode de pensée communement admis. Ou plutot que ce soit un mode encore largement present. Perso, je ne suis pas un super fan de sarko, mais je crois voir un changement de mentalité notamment avec ses "ouvertures" a un peu tout qui semble mediatique. Elles paraissent mediatique, et il se fait un peu critiquer avec les rebeu ou autre de gauche, mais ce que je recent c'est un véritable rapprochement vers le modele canadien.&lt;br /&gt;Je ne crois pas comme tu dis que le PS reflete le sentiment de tous les francais. Ensuite je ne suis pas sur le terrain et je sais que ce n'est pas evident. Tout comme les noirs au maroc ne sont pas toujours bien vus malheureusement...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce modele la, assez semblable par ailleurs a l'integration anglaise, repose un peu sur ce que tu soulignes: cultiver ses differences dans un tout "relativement" uni.&lt;br /&gt;Tu as raison quand tu parles de cultiver ses differences. C'est un enrichissement mutuel. Mais avec les derives qui existent et qu'on a vu au Royaume-Uni avec les montés de communautarisme et de ce fait des communautés qui se referment quelque peu sur elles-memes.&lt;br /&gt;Pourtant l'inégration au Quebec repose sur beaucoup de grandes symboliques qui ressemblent a celles en France aussi (un socle commun culturel, des acquis sociaux...). Mais ici on accepte la difference, mais on ne la cultive pas trop. C'est pas pour autant renier ses racines, sa religion etc.. Le probleme aujourd'hui comme tu le soulignes justement c'est qu'on assiste tous les jours a des caricatures de la religion (en particulier l'islam, mais il ya pleins d'exemples, cf. les jesus camps), et que les medias se font une joie de braquer les projecteurs dessus. Il en resulte comme tu le soulignes une certaine incomprehension, impliaquant frayeur, rejet, ce qui exacerbe encore plus le communautarisme etc... c'est une bien belle spirale infernale!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais alors quoi? Tu entends quoi par le retour au source?&lt;br /&gt;Cultiver leur differences? Mais jusqu'ou? Aller jusqu'aux tribunaux familaux ligeferants selon la charia? Or on voit des tribunaux selon le christianisme ou le judaisme...alors quoi, on autorise l'un et on suspend l'autre? On enelve tout et on garde un veritable etat laique?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lmouhim... j'ai mis du temps a ecrire ca, mais la encore je ne suis pas trop satisfait...faudrait approfondir...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Notes &amp;amp; Sources pour le post ci-dessus:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.radio-canada.ca/nouvelles/Politique/nouvelles/200509/11/002-ontario-charia-NON.shtmlhttp://www.communautarisme.net/Le-grand-rabbin-de-France-Joseph-Sitruk-projette-de-creer-un-tribunal-rabbinique-d-arbitrage_a644.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.radio-canada.ca/nouvelles/Politique/nouvelles/200509/11/002-ontario-charia-NON.shtmlhttp://www.communautarisme.net/Le-grand-rabbin-de-France-Joseph-Sitruk-projette-de-creer-un-tribunal-rabbinique-d-arbitrage_a644.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barreau.qc.ca/congres/2005/programme/pdf/saris_anne.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.barreau.qc.ca/congres/2005/programme/pdf/saris_anne.pdf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;point 21, 23, 26 (l'arbitrage familiale peut etre fait en ontario par des tribunaux rabinniques)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.communautarisme.net/Quand-un-comique-juif-ne-fait-plus-rire-les-censeurs-de-la-communaute%20-_a84.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.communautarisme.net/Quand-un-comique-juif-ne-fait-plus-rire-les-censeurs-de-la-communaute%20-_a84.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cdpdj.qc.ca/fr/publications/docs/accommodement_raisonnable_religion_femmes.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.cdpdj.qc.ca/fr/publications/docs/accommodement_raisonnable_religion_femmes.pdf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;page 3 sur les accomodements raisonables (exemple de sabbat: pas de travail le samedi) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paradigme.com/sources/SOURCES-PDF/Pages%20de%20Sources13-2-2.pdfhttp://www.ifs.csic.es/practica/estlaico/helly.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.paradigme.com/sources/SOURCES-PDF/Pages%20de%20Sources13-2-2.pdfhttp://www.ifs.csic.es/practica/estlaico/helly.pdf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;p2: arbitrage familiale en ontario...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-4702086331951216838?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Globalement, ca résume bien mon sentiment à son égard.&lt;br /&gt;C'est vrai que c'est sympa, avec plusieurs nouvelles situations: la relation homme-femme, l'amour, les enfants (un peu). L'incomprehension entre les sexes donnent matiere a faire. Si on y rajoute la "localisation" de son spéctacle au Quebec et donc quelques bonnes vannes sur les quebecois, et quelques bonnes remarques aussi! (j'ai adoré le recyclage de lettres, de l'humouris' à iciT! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais sinon, je reste un peu sur ma faim, j'ai pas aimé l'enchainement de blagues vers la fin (impression d'un blague-test pour voir laquelle percute le plus), ou les references un peu trop recurrentes par rapport à son ancien spéctacle. Je veux bien garder un fil directeur avec L'autre c'est moi, mais ca en fait un peu trop à la longue. En tout cas attendez vous à entendre parler du DVD, du blond etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai un peu l'impression que c'est soit un:&lt;br /&gt;- l'autre c'est moi, version 1.5 remasterisée&lt;br /&gt;- papa est en haut, version beta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je penche pour la version beta de papa est en haut. Il doit y avoir un bon 70% de choses originales, mais je crois qu'il y a encore du travail avant l'olympia. Peauffiner les blagues, les chutes etc..et rajouter de la nouveauté! Quoiqu'il en soit, apres ses trois derniers spéctacles, sans sentir le rechauffé, celui-la ne parait pas du meme niveau!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais quoiqu'il en soit, c'est un énorme plaisir de le voir sur scène, il maitrise son corps (j'adooore le voir danser!), son espace (et courir!), ses instruments (bouteil d'eau, guitare, piano) et son public (belles interactions, n'est-ce pas l'electricien!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et vous, l'avez vous vu? Qu'en pensez-vous? Que pensez-vous de Gad en général?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Et voici un tout petit appercu visuel...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-09097696605372284 visible ontop" href="http://web.splashcast.net/go/p/POUL6303SN"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-0012636601144080828 visible ontop" href="http://web.splashcast.net/go/p/POUL6303SN"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04091548396740695 visible ontop" href="http://web.splashcast.net/go/p/POUL6303SN"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04091548396740695 visible ontop" href="http://web.splashcast.net/go/p/POUL6303SN"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;embed src="http://web.splashcast.net/go/p/POUL6303SN" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;...ca dure juste quelques minutes, desolé, mais par respect pour l'auteur, on en reste là.

Never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.&lt;br /&gt;You are NOT as fat as you imagine.&lt;br /&gt;Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;Do one thing every day that scares you.&lt;br /&gt;Sing.&lt;br /&gt;Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.&lt;br /&gt;Floss.&lt;br /&gt;Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.&lt;br /&gt;Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.&lt;br /&gt;Stretch.&lt;br /&gt;Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.&lt;br /&gt;Get plenty of calcium.&lt;br /&gt;Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.&lt;br /&gt;Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.&lt;br /&gt;Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.&lt;br /&gt;Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.&lt;br /&gt;Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.&lt;br /&gt;Be nice to your siblings; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.&lt;br /&gt;Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.&lt;br /&gt;Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.&lt;br /&gt;Travel.&lt;br /&gt;Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.&lt;br /&gt;Respect your elders.&lt;br /&gt;Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.&lt;br /&gt;Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.&lt;br /&gt;Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.&lt;br /&gt;But trust me on the sunscreen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-09097696605372284 visible ontop" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2Hq9sD0V5MbMZ3N2a"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04091548396740695 visible ontop" href="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2Hq9sD0V5MbMZ3N2a"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object height="335" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2Hq9sD0V5MbMZ3N2a"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2Hq9sD0V5MbMZ3N2a" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="335" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like this 10 years old piece of advice...should think about those words more often!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And by the way, here is a little parodie! ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a style="left: 340px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-045603041582689485 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5vLj3NTXmDE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-09097696605372284 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5vLj3NTXmDE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04091548396740695 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5vLj3NTXmDE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5vLj3NTXmDE"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5vLj3NTXmDE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Finally, here is a poem: Desiderata by Max Ehrmann, certainly the source of the 97's column: &lt;a href="http://hobbes.ncsa.uiuc.edu/desiderata.html"&gt;http://hobbes.ncsa.uiuc.edu/desiderata.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lifemagick.net/manifesting/desiderata-in-life/"&gt;http://www.lifemagick.net/manifesting/desiderata-in-life/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a style="left: 340px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-045603041582689485 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/CsoET6xcapE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-09097696605372284 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/CsoET6xcapE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-04091548396740695 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/CsoET6xcapE"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CsoET6xcapE"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CsoET6xcapE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-1012007175558550749?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

He do so by using the comparison with the 2nd world war: perhaps they were even more than 300 000 soldiers on the other side of the channel, perhaps you had many bombs a day, but you knew mainly who were your ennemy (beside the spies etc...which by the way are still in function nowaday; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the case of terror, the ennemy is AMONG us. I dont want to say that as a abad catch phrase for a movie, but for me, it's true that it far more difficult today than before to know who is the ennemy. That's the purpose of the ID.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, Thomas say that there is bombs only few days a year. Ok. But then is worth not doing anything?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, i have one question for you thomas: do you think that terrorists will stop if all the western governements stop fighting them? Personnaly i think that it is a yes anser on the long run...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23033381-1642245978390185314?l=livinglifelive.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
