  • Good and bad things about WordPress 2.6

    I migrated this web site to the latest version of WordPress (version 2.6). Since this is a significant jump from the old v2.3.3 that I was still using (because it was stable and without known bugs), I feel that it could be interesting to summarize the observations I made during this migration. Good Somehow, the…

  • The real new Canon EOS

    As seen on Canon EOS evolution (US web site). Importantly, the progression of the moon phases will apparently progressively reveal the new camera around the end of the month, just in tome for the opening of the Photokina fair.

  • Canon EOS, it’s coming

  • JCI is going to restructure

    Preliminary disclosure: Usually, I refrain from commenting about issues relating to my own employer. But today, Johnson Controls issued a press release unusually significant that I assumed would be worth an exception. The American economy is in pain, the automotive industry is in pain: General Motors should see a slowdown of 30% or more, Ford…

  • 36-hour autonomy for the iPhone

    or how to ensure the best possible battery autonomy of an iPhone: 36 hours of operation. As a matter of fact, the iPhone battery seems to be its weak point as it seems. But Guy Kawasaki explains us that -for the best part- it comes from some options that eat a lot of power (WiFi,…
