Review of TechCrunch40

I just read a very interesting article of Shel Israel about TC40. I agree on every thing he describes and flow of events that happened during this conference.
Jason and Mike gave us a lesson on how to launch a new start up. Not because of all presenters that were on stage, not because of the industry luminaries that attended, not because of 98 new start ups demoing in the demo pit but because they were smart enough to make us participants in their new start up TechCrunch.
From all the 138 start ups that attended I would only bet on one that will be there next year: TechCrunch.
And from where I sit this event is going to grow bigger and bigger. In that matter TechCrunch40 was a great success.

Iphone Unlocker is Free and Working

We all waited for this moment. Now it's done!! Dev-Team has finally cracked the iPhone. Everyone can enjoy an unlocked iPhone on their favorite network. It took some time but guys at Apple and AT&T made a good job at locking this device.
Now with very little knowledge you can unlock your iPhone. Here are the files -

I think it's a good thing for Apple - maybe not for AT&T who paid a fortune to get this exclusivity. But overall Apple will double their sales very soon.

Have fun.

FaceBook vs. Blogs

I posted a question on FaceBook "Are FaceBook and Twitter blog killers??"

Here are the anwers:

Jeremie Berrebi
Twitter perhaps...But Facebook..not at all !

Aydin Mirzaee
Not yet... you can't easily search for written content on Facebook whereas blogs are very well indexed...

Baptiste Snaet
No, Twitter and facebook are no blog. This is not the same. like TV and Internet

Fidji SIMO
All articles these days seem to prove so, but it is not my case: I use Twitter to share interesting links or concepts which are not worth a long article, and keep quality content and analysis for my blog.

Pat Phelan
Absolutely but their first kill was linkedin, I am using it less and less now. Am I blogging less due to Facebook and Twitter? no but my information for blogs are certainly better informed.

Jean-Dimitri Dewavrin
I think FaceBook, Twitter and Blog are complementary. Each are his specifity. Facebook is an all-in-one plateform. Twitter is easy and funny. Blog is a own tool, i mean something personal.

Suzanne Bowen
My own URL points to my blogger blog, feels more personal; all can access w/o having to be Blogger members. My blog posts are fed to Facebook anyways. I and my "potential audience" will use what is most convenient/rewarding at any given point in time.

Jobic De Calan
I think Facebook and blogs are two different tools and they will flourish independently.

Leigh Fatzinger
I think Facebook is a Twitter killer - why use multiple apps when you can have this information on one profile, and at one single access point? However, blogs have so many facets, and so many uses, I don't think the platform will overtake the blog.

I am surprised and disappointed to see that HP printers are really becoming a piece of crap.

First of all it's all cheap plastic, USB cable is not included, ink cartridges are only for few prints.

But worse is that my brand new All in One 5610 is not 'finished'.

I tried to put ink cartridges into printer when I found out a piece is missing. Not a small tiny piece but a major piece that holds and control cartridges.

Don't they know about quality control?

Now I have to bring it back, wait for a replacement, be happy if they change it quickly and not to expect any possible upgrade...

LinkedIn power!!

I have been a member of LinkedIn for a long time but never put any attention to it. Another networking service...until my new web-friend Pat sent me a LinkedIn invitation to join his network.
I had a couple of connections from the old days in April. Today over 40 50 new connections!!
Mostly in my field - mobile/wireless telecommunication. I had few good contacts and everyone seems to have something interesting to say.
LinkedIn can be very useful when seeking new ressources. We are currently working with an independent contractor found on my network. You can also use LinkedIn to promote your company/products.
After all networking is not a bad thing eventhough its time consuming. Some people just add new connection to beat the system and be in top linked members. Can be an ego problem...check with your shrink!
Anyway if you think we have some common matters you can send me add me to your network.

Who said Frenchmen are stupid?

Reading the following article really made me laugh.
BlackBerry can endanger France. Give me a break!!
They should also stop using Internet, phones, post office, GPS, mobile phones, safe boxes, VPN…


PARIS (AP) -- BlackBerry handhelds have been called addictive, invasive, wonderful - and now, a threat to French state secrets. That, at least, is the fear of French government defense experts, who have advised against their use by officials in France's corridors of power, reportedly to avoid snooping by U.S. intelligence agencies.
"It's not a question of trust," French lawmaker Pierre Lasbordes told The Associated Press. "We are friends with the Americans, the Anglo-Saxons, but it's economic war."
Le Monde newspaper, which broke the story, described BlackBerry withdrawal among those who have given them up. "We feel that we are wasting huge amounts of time, having to relearn how to work in the old way," the daily quoted a ministry office director as saying.
E-mails sent from "Le BlackBerry" pass through servers in the United States and Britain, and France fears that makes the system vulnerable to snooping by the U.S. National Security Agency, Le Monde reported. The company that makes BlackBerrys, however, denies such spying is possible.
Lasbordes, who was commissioned in 2005 by then-Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin to look into such issues, said he alerted the government to this "weakness" months ago. He said he met with BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. to discuss the problem in the course of preparing his report on the security of French information systems.
The Canadian company "admitted that there was a certain fragility in the protection of information when you use the e-mail system" and promised it would be resolved, said Lasbordes, adding: "That was more than a year ago."
BlackBerrys pose "a problem with the protection of information" and "the risks of interception are real," Alain Juillet, in charge of economic intelligence for the government, told Le Monde.
Research In Motion insisted that BlackBerry e-mails cannot be read by the NSA or other organizations. The e-mails are more heavily encrypted than online banking Web sites, Research In Motion said in a statement.
"No one, including RIM, has the ability to view the content of any data communication sent using the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution," the company said.
The BlackBerry system has been accredited by security agencies in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Austria and Canada, Research in Motion said, adding that a certification process is under way in the Netherlands and Germany.
In France, the circular on BlackBerries from the General Secretariat for National Defense applies in theory to all ministries, and "it's up to everyone to be responsible," Lasbordes said.
Another official in a major ministry who got rid of his BlackBerry following the order said authorities are looking at other types of hand-held computers to use instead.
The prime minister's office would not confirm that it and the presidential palace were included in the circular, as Le Monde reported. But a spokesman, Severin Naudet, cited the General Secretariat for National Defense as saying that no type of hand-held computer is risk-free.
"It's not a problem if you're writing to your mother-in-law," Lasbordes said. But "one can imagine a minister coming from a meeting of the G-8 or G-7, et cetera, or a meeting in Brussels, and he sends information to his colleagues. It goes via Canada and the United States and that's it, game over."
Suspicion goes both ways. At a Group of Eight summit in Germany this month, White House aides were instructed to leave their wireless e-mail devices behind, apparently for fear of Russian eavesdropping.

Tutorial for BlackBerry Curve - Get all hidden themes and suppress PTT

After trying many combination I have finally an ATT curve working with my T-mobile with all themes unlocked and no Push to Talk.
PTT is useless for me as for many. Therefore you can free some memory and have your curve run faster.
Files below were tested with O2, Att/Cingular and Rogers latest OS.

Download, unzip and place both files in :

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files

File blackberry.alx will unlock all themes
File platform.alx will remove PTT

Once you have installed both files you need to remove vendor.xml from your pc:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\vendor.xml

Then connect your curve to the PC and launch Desktop Manager.
If no message is shown during synchronization then launch Application Loader and simply press next a couple of times.
Your device will reboot automatically. Unplug after reboot and enjoy your new themes.

Download files here.

Si tu es intelligent tu ne seras pas riche

Effectivement une étude très sérieuse vient de démontrer qu'avoir un QI élevé ne garanti pas la réussite sociale. En rapport de proportion les super intelligents gagnent plus d'argent que les gens dans la moyenne mais ils sont beaucoup moins riches à la retraite. L'étude tente d'expliquer que les 'intelligents' épargnent moins et dépensent plus que les autres.

A méditer…

You don't have to be smart to be rich, study finds
COLUMBUS , Ohio -- It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make a lot of money, according to new research.
A nationwide study found that people of below average intelligence were, overall, just about as wealthy as those in similar circumstances but with higher scores on an IQ test.
Furthermore, a number of extremely intelligent people stated they had gotten themselves into financial difficulty.
"People don't become rich just because they are smart," said Jay Zagorsky, author of the study and a research scientist at Ohio State University 's Center for Human Resource Research.
"Your IQ has really no relationship to your wealth. And being very smart does not protect you from getting into financial difficulty," Zagorsky said.
The one financial indicator in which the study found it paid to be smart was income. Those with higher IQ scores tended to get paid more than others.
While other research has also found the IQ-income link, this is one of the first studies to go beyond income to look at the relationship between intelligence and wealth and financial difficulty, he said.
"Financial success for most people means more than just income," Zagorsky said. "You need to build up wealth to help buffer life's storms and to prepare for retirement. You also shouldn't have to worry about being close to or beyond your financial limits."
Zagorsky's study appears online in the journal Intelligence.
The study is based on data from 7,403 Americans who participated in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, which is funded primarily by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The NLSY is a nationally representative survey of people, who are now in their mid-40s, conducted by Ohio State's Center for Human Resource Research.
The same people have been interviewed repeatedly over time since 1979. This study is based on responses from the 2004 survey.
Participants completed the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT), a general aptitude test used by the Department of Defense. Researchers have long used AFQT scores as a measure of intelligence.
All participants were also surveyed about their income, total wealth, and three measures of financial difficulty: if they currently have any maxed-out credit cards, if over the past five years they had any instances where they missed paying bills, and whether they ever declared bankruptcy.
The results confirmed research by other scholars that show people with higher IQ scores tend to earn higher incomes. In this study, each point increase in IQ scores was associated with $202 to $616 more income per year.
This means the average income difference between a person with an IQ score in the normal range (100) and someone in the top 2 percent of society (130) is currently between $6,000 and $18,500 a year.
But when it came to total wealth and the likelihood of financial difficulties, people of below average and average intelligence did just fine when compared with the super-intelligent.
The study could find no strong relationship between total wealth and intelligence. How could high-IQ people, on average, earn higher incomes but still not have more wealth than others? Zagorsky said this data can't provide an answer, but it suggests that high-IQ people are not saving as much as others. He is currently finishing a study that is exploring that question.
The findings revealed mixed results when it came to the link between intelligence and measures of financial distress. For example, the percentage of people who have maxed out their credit cards rises from 7.7 percent in those with an IQ of 75 and below to a peak of 12.1 percent among those with an IQ of 90. Then the percentage falls in an irregular pattern to 5.4 percent among those with an IQ of 115 before rising again.
This irregular pattern is also seen among the bankrupt and people who missed bill payments.
"In these measures of financial difficulties, it seems that those of slightly better than average intelligence are best off," Zagorsky said.
"Just because you're smart doesn't mean you don't get into trouble. Among the smartest people, those with IQ scores above 125, even 6 percent of them have maxed out their credit cards and 11 percent occasionally miss payments."
Zagorsky said you only have to look in the parking lots of the nation's universities to see that intelligence and wealth are not necessarily linked.
"Professors tend to be very smart people," he said. "But if you look at university parking lots, you don't see a lot of Rolls Royces, Porsches or other very expensive cars. Instead you see a lot of old, low-value vehicles."
The lesson is simple, he said.
"Intelligence is not a factor for explaining wealth. Those with low intelligence should not believe they are handicapped, and those with high intelligence should not believe they have an advantage."

Iphone vs. Leopard

Apple ne va pas s'en sortir avec l'iPhone. Je l'avais écrit il y a quelques mois de cela. L'iPhone tournera sur un OS propriétaire Apple. Pari fou de Steve Job qui lance Apple dans une direction dangereuse.
Aujourd'hui il existe très peu d'Operating System (OS) pour Smartphone. Nokia avec Symbian, Windows avec sa plateforme Windows Mobile, BlackBerry 100% orienté vers le Push Mail et c'est tout.
Toutes les autres plateformes ont échouées. Il reste donc 2 leaders qui ont investi des milliards de dollars dans la recherche et qui malgré tout connaissent toujours bon nombre de bugs.
Lancer Apple dans cette course est suicidaire. La preuve – Steve Jobs vient d’annoncer l’arrêt des développements du nouveau système Leopard pour mettre les ressources disponibles sur l’iPhone afin de tenir les délais de livraisons.
En parallèle Apple annonce que l’iPhone ne sera pas lancé le 11 Juin comme prévu mais ‘fin’ juin. Ca sent le soufre…
J’aimerais bien connaitre les clauses de pénalités infligées par AT&T/Cingular en cas de retard…
En tout cas la bourse ne s’est pas laissée prendre car le titre chute depuis 2 jours.

GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas has handed over the names of Palestinian prisoners it demands Israel release in exchange for an Israeli soldier seized by Gaza gunmen 10 months ago, the Islamist group said on Sunday.

"These names have been presented to the Egyptian (mediators), who in turn have presented it to the Israeli side," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said. "There is a clear progress in the fact a list of names has been presented."

But an Israeli cabinet minister and a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of the Fatah faction cautioned against assuming a deal was imminent.

Barhoum gave no numbers or names. Israeli media reports said the roster listed about 1,300 prisoners, including Marwan Barghouthi, a Fatah leader widely seen as a possible successor to the moderate Abbas.

Israeli Corporal Gilad Shalit was seized last June by militants from Hamas and two other armed groups who tunneled into Israel from Gaza.

An exchange deal, after months of deadlock, could be key to any progress in talks Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Abbas have agreed to hold on a biweekly basis at the urging of the United States.

For Palestinians, freedom for brethren in Israeli jails -- especially long-serving prisoners -- is a highly emotive issue. Olmert has accused Abbas of failing to deliver on promises to secure Shalit's release.

Abbas and Hamas formed a unity government on March 17.

Sources in Olmert's office said Israel had received the list and a ministerial committee would meet in the coming days to decide on whether to loosen criteria for releasing prisoners in an exchange deal, a change the cabinet would have to approve.

Israel has balked in the past at trading Palestinian prisoners categorised as "having blood on their hands" -- a reference to attacks in which Israelis have been killed.

"Certain progress has been made compared with how things were until now," Israeli cabinet minister Isaac Herzog told Israeli Army Radio.

"There is still a long way to go. We are apparently approaching the truly difficult stage of the negotiations," Herzog said.

Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior Abbas aide, said presentation of names by the Palestinians "doesn't mean the Israeli side has accepted them."

"There are still complications in the process and we hope they will be overcome through Egyptian efforts," Abed Rabbo told a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Là il faut peut être mettre les choses en proportion!!

1 soldat pour la libération de 1.300 TERRORISTES??!! Ca ne vous choque pas...

Personnellement je pense que Gilat Shalit est déjà mort. Il ne faut pas céder au chantage, casser sous la pression. Oui c'est dur, très dur de voir partir un jeune soldat qui ne reviendra pas. Mais si nous cédons aujourd'hui il y aura des dizaines, des centaines d'enlèvements.

La mode des enlèvements fleurie dans le monde et tous font des erreurs qu'ils payeront très très cher dans quelques années. 15 soldats britanniques, plusieurs journalistes, des civils - toutes marchandises humaines est bonne pour plaider sa cause...franchement où va t’on?

C'était mon coup de gueule du dimanche matin. Une énorme déception.
