Last week, Google invited about 50 entrepreneurs, innovators, and scientists to the deluxe CordeValle resort in the mountains south of San Jose. There, they spent three days talking about big problems and how to solve them. Word leaked out yesterday about the confab, when 9to5 Google got an early look at the Solve for X Web site. That Web site officially went live last night, and Google explained what was really going on in a blog post. There's also a Google+ page about it. Solve for X going to...  show all text

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

It is painfully heartbreaking to realize that a very small tiny number of people who have access to web analytics tools actually use them. I mean really use the tool. Ravage all the features. Exploit every possible button. Produce built-in visualization magic. Poke into the hidden crevices and discover exotic delights. Nourish yourself with the info snacks that the tool's Engineers and Product Managers cooked up. This post is all about that. Normally when it comes to data analysis you are more ...  show all text

De nouveau, la nuit.  Je suis assis dans mon lit, sous la couette bien qu'habillé, les pieds près du radiateur. Je me souviens d'une phrase de Rimbaud qui dit redouter l'hiver “parce que c'est la saison du confort”.  J'y repense souvent, quand le froid s'installe. Mais la manière dont je suis emmitouflé à l'instant, dans cette chambre assez petite (il faut bien le dire) et pas tout à fait

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 !

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

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

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
