Dans quelques jours, The Pirate Bay ne sera plus vraiment The Pirate Bay.

LoJack for Laptops – How it Works
by danijelzi

Computrace LoJack for Laptops, a software-based theft recovery service, is designed to track, locate, and recover stolen computers and protect users’ data.
LoJack for Laptops is based on the Computrace Agent software that is embedded into the BIOS firmware of computers. Some PC makers, such as Dell, optionally embed the Agent into laptops at the factory and offers LoJack service to laptop buyers. However, if you purchase LoJack separately, you can install the Agent yourself.

DAISY ( Digital Accessible Information System), destiné au public handicapé visuel : Le standard, un enjeu pour l’accessibilité - Chloestch’s Factory
by decembre
A partir d’un traitement de texte, la conversion en format Daisy va permettre d’encoder le texte tapé, en mp3. Une fois converti, le fichier peut être lu sur un lecteur spécial, en gardant les propriétés de titres, chapitrages, etc. La navigation dans le livre pour les non-voyants est ainsi fluide et presque identique à la façon de lire normale. Les personnes ayant une vue normale, peuvent aussi enregistrer dans ce format pour pouvoir écouter des livres en mp3 sur leurs baladeurs, ou bien des cours, des conférences etc… Quand on sait que les traitements de texte sont majoritairement utilisés par les maisons d’édition ( rarement de manuscrits rédigés à la main), l’intérêt d’un tel format prend toute son ampleur.
