Phonebooth 2.0
I was minding my own business, getting ready to interview someone, at LeWeb in the “Geek Pad” where Microsoft had given us an area to hang out and connect online, when I noticed Eliane had her Macbook Pro over her head. I didn’t see any rain, so I knew she wasn’t using it as an umbrella, and then I heard her speaking intimately to the Mac.
Since there are hardly any phone booths anymore, she had turned her Mac into a phone booth!

Lancement du Parrot AR.Drone
Mardi 5 janvier à Las Vegas, la société française Parrot annonçait un jouet étonnant résultat de plusieurs années d’ingeniering et parfaitement dans l’air du temps : l’AR Drone.
Au moment où j’écris ces lignes, la presse mondiale en ligne a du déjà décrire le biniou. J’avais eu le privilège de profiter d’une démonstration de l’hélicoptère début décembre 2009 pendant la visite de Parrot à Paris avec les Travelling Geeks. Mais nous étions sous embargo jusqu’à hier.
