Phonebooth 2.0

by on January 15, 2010 at 9:15 am

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

by on January 7, 2010 at 12:10 am

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.
