Une brusque montée des températures dans la cuve du réacteur 2 de la centrale nucléaire accidentée de Fukushima met le Japon en émoi.Selon Tepco, la température a gagné près de 30 degrés depuis le 1er février et a atteint 73,3°C ce lundi. Cette mauvaise nouvelle signifie que l'injection d'eau pour refroidir le réacteur ne fonctionne pas comme prévu.Il faut dire que les 28 ruptures de tuyauterie dues au gel repérées en seulement une semaine n'ont pas du aider.Selon Mycle Schneider, expert indépe...

Collaborative consumption, peer-to-peer marketplaces, the sharing economy — it’s been called a few names by now, but no one is denying that the idea of accessing rather than owning is controversial — and it’s taking the Internet by storm. Peer-to-peer marketplaces, of which Airbnb is the beloved poster child, have been popping up for the past few years, but 2011 was an explosive year for the sector. Whether you wanted to borrow or rent someone’s apartment, bike, car, parking spot or random hous...  show all text

What started as a bit of aimless tinkering for developer Arun Thampi ultimately unearthed something very surprising about personal life-sharing service Path. As a fan of the app, Thampi took it upon himself to look at the API calls that the app made to Path’s service and found that his “entire address book (including full names, emails and phone numbers) was being sent as a plist to Path.” Puzzled, Thampi created an entirely new Path and tried again, only to be faced with the same results. Feel...  show all text

Lorsqu'on voit l'importance qu'a aujourd'hui Google dans nos tâches quotidiennes (recherches, mails...), il est difficile de s'imaginer que l'entreprise n'existait pas il y a 15 ans.

26 models of Trendnet webcams have been identified as vulnerable to a bug that lets anyone tap into the video stream with just an IP address. The flaw was noted a month ago and the company has been working to alert people and patch the devices. Unfortunately, the company has no way of contacting non-registered webcam owners, and so the devices may remain accessible if the users never suspect anything. It’s a bit scary, but certainly not unprecedented. Although it’s not quite the same thing, two...  show all text

An anonymous user, claiming to be a former Zynga engineer, has been posting allegedly internal information about the company to Reddit.

The alleged ex-Zynga employee goes by the handle “mercenary-games” on Reddit and began posting about a day ago. He says he worked at Zynga for eight months but that he quit the company s...  show all text

Ce matin, c’est PCInpact qui nous apprenait que Claude Guéant revenait à la charge sur la censure de Copwatch, et ce, de manière bien plus violente puisque le ministre a demandé la censure par blocage, non pas des pages, mais de l’intégralité des sites miroirs. Une demande particulièrement choquante, puisqu’elle s’effectuerait au doigt mouillé, sans décision de justice ! Sur simple demande du ministre de la police !

Even if you haven’t ever visited popular visual bookmarking site Pinterest, you might recognize its design elements — which have been popping up everywhere since the startup burst onto the mainstream scene in 2011. The site doesn’t use traditional web building blocks. “It’s almost like a window-shopping mode,” says Khoi Vinh, the former design director for NYTimes.com. “It puts the ball back in the user’s court,” muses Andrew Beck, a web designer at Blue Fountain Media. “It flattens the informa...  show all text

Path is a lovely app. It pushes all the right buttons. It's mobile, it's tactile, it's personal, it's full of people we love and moments that matter to us. It makes us feel good. It's got all the greatest hits a post-Facebook social app should have. It's also free. "Facebook will always be free," it tells us, so free is now the standard. Free apps are expensive, though; we pay with our data. Whenever Facebook or Google messes with our privacy, this is the cost of doing business for free. Path is  show all text

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been under fire from world leaders to step down this week. He’s also under fire from hacktivist group Anonymous, who leaked hundreds of his office’s emails on Monday. While Anonymous is infamous for its hacking know-how, it doesn’t take a genius computer programmer to guess one of the passwords commonly used by Assad’s office accounts: 12345. The string of consecutive numbers is the second-weakest password according to a 2011 study. Anonymous broke into the ...  show all text
