  • 207, a new car for Peugeot

    This week, Peugeot started the product launch of the new 207 car all over Europe. You can now see the replacement for the Peugeot 206. While the 206 will still be available (and the 206cc is not replaced at all for the time being), the 207 will broaden the product line. I worked on some…

  • Masai Mara – Yawning all day long

    Masai Mara – Yawning all day long

    Life in the wild savanah is a weird mix of leisurly quiet life (herbivorous graze in the sun, lions sleep in the shade of a tree, hippos float lazily in a river) and of terrible activity (antelopes are always alert about what is happening around, felines start running as fast as they can in order…

  • Canon switches to pigments

    Epson will have to worry about this. While during a long time Epson was the undeniable champion of ink jet print longevity thanks to its unique pigment-based inks (inherently more durable than dye-based color inks of its competitors), Canon just announced a new professional ink jet printer, the iPF 5000 (MSRP $1,945) using a 12-color…

    Minolta prices going down – Time to buy?

    After the announcement of the demise of Konica-Minolta, and its replacement with Sony (actually in place now that April came), I asked myself what is now the consequence of this on camera prices.

  • Nikon better operating profits

    Nikon better operating profits

    This is what the firm with the yellow logo announced. And this is all coming from the digital camera business that is being even better than expected. This would be the first confirmation that moving out of the analog camera business was the thing to do (from the point of view of the company –…

  • P2P with your buddies (and without the cops)

    This is the promise of a product that is not even available yet but could well behave like a FireFox plug-in (an extension to the famous Internet browser). Developed in Prague, it is becoming the center of all talks while it is not even available to download: AllPeers. As a matter of fact, this is…

  • RoHS and WEEE, the new game in the electronics industry

    Ok! Those do not look like nice words. But the European industry is starting to consider very seriously the consequences of these. They represent two European Directives intending to reduce very significantly the toxic waste and the use of hasardous materials in the electrical and electronic products (this is so wide a scope that a…

  • Wild trails

    A photography friend’s web site: Sentiers sauvages (Wild trails) where you will find a lot of nice animal pictures. Plenty of birds, but also some pictures taken in Africa including some that may remind you of my own safari to Kenya (this is no random encounter, of course).
