Le premier brevet décrivant la notion d'embarcation utilisant des foils est déposé en 1869 par le français Emmanuel Farcot, ingénieur mécanicien, auteur de nombreux brevets. Ce n'est qu'après presque un siècle et demi que la première vedette utilisant des foils voit le jour!!!!

Voici sans doute une chose que les fans de vitesses n'avaient pas prévu. Cette course de dragster se finit à pied parce que les 2 concurrents ont eu tous les 2 une panne de moteur ... Bien sur, ces motos valant plusieurs millers d'Euros ne sont pas facile à manier sans moteur. Comme quoi, les pilotes restent des compétiteur jusqu'au bout...

This is certainly something that the speeds of fans did not foresee. This drag race ends off because the two competitors had every 2 engine failure ... Of course, these bikes worth several millers Euros are not easy to handle without an engine. So, the pilots remain competitors until the end ...

The Perils of Cloud Computing

What would happen if your future arrived too early? If you got the keys to your first car when you were eight? Landed your first big management job at 15?

I’ve been asking those questions while playing with the Cr-48 laptop, the first implementation of Google’s cloud-based Chrome operating system. After a few months with it, I feel like it’s important, but I also think it’s from a future we’re simply not ready for.

May 31, 2006: Pirate Bay Raided, Shuttered

2006: Swedish police raid The Pirate Bay website and shut it down.

“Pirate Bay was a huge source of pirated films for people around the world, and today they are no longer.”

That was a statement issued exactly five years ago Tuesday by Kori Bernards, a spokeswoman for the Motion Picture Association of America.

After all, Swedish police that day had just raided the file sharing site’s offices and carted away a boatload of servers.

Guerre des brevets Samsung veut examiner l'iPhone 5 et l'iPad 3

La bataille de brevets entre Samsung et Apple a pris un nouveau tournant. Suite au droit concédé à Apple par la justice américaine, la semaine dernière, de pouvoir accéder aux produits annoncés par Samsung, pour vérifier s’ils ne violent pas ses brevets, la firme coréenne a répliqué, révèle le sitethisismynext.com. Elle a indiqué vouloir jouir du même droit et désire par conséquent voir les prochains produits d’Apple, à savoir l’iPhone 5 ou 4S et l’iPad 3 avant leur commercialisation, bien qu’Apple n’ait comme à son habitude fait aucune annonce à ce propos.

Le niveau de sécurite dans les aéroports est tellement sensible que l'on doit être en mesure d'éteindre en moins de 3 minutes tout début d'incendie. Le meilleur moyen pour y parvenir est de remplir de mousse un hangard d'un volume considérable. Afin de vérifier le respect des niveaux de sécurité, un test de mousse est régulièrement effectué. C'est toujours autant impressionnant de voir autant de mousse en si peu de temps ... Il est même étonnant qu'un night club ne soit pas équipé d'un tel engin. Comment font ils pour se débarrasser de la mousse une fois le test terminé ?
The level of security at airports is so sensitive that one should be able to put out an early fire in less than 3 minutes. The best way to do this is to fill the shed of a substantial volume with foam. To verify the compliance with security levels, a foam test is regularly performed. It is always impressive to see so much foam so quick ... It is even surprising that a nightclub is not equipped with such a device. How do they get rid of the foam once the test is completed ?

Review: Get Your Game On With Sony's Xperia Play Android Phone

Mothers, lock up your gamers. The PlayStation phone has arrived.

And while it’s a bit on the chubby side, we think that, for Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play, big is beautiful.

You could almost call the Xperia Play the shorter, fatter cousin to the svelte Xperia Arc, which Sony Ericsson once described as the “world’s thinnest smartphone.” At .62 inches, the Play looks positively bulky compared to its Xperia-line relatives — a veritable Jan Brady to the Arc’s Marcia.

While vacationing in France, you find a DVD of Ishtar. Score! (It’s never been released on DVD in the US). But when you get home, you discover that you’ve purchased a Region 2 disc, which, in your Region 1 player, is as useful as a coaster. This raises two questions: Why do you want to watch Ishtar? And why do we still have region codes?

The answers: taste and money, respectively. Though there’s no accounting for the former, those codes may soon be gone.

Regional restrictions began in 1997, as DVD technology was rolling out. They have nothing to do with the NTSC and PAL...
