Even in these tough times, surprising and extraordinary efforts are under way in businesses across the globe. From politics to technology, energy, and transportation; from marketing to retail, health care, and design, each company on the following pages illustrates the power and potential of innovative ideas and creative execution. These are the kinds of enterprises that will redefine our future and point the way to a better tomorrow.

Because it is our index. At least partly, because the content is ours. And I won’t deny that it is partly Google Inc. property too, as the manufacturer and operator of the index. But it’s partly ours as well, and that is a very important point to make.

Therefore, may be we can begin to consider the Google index as a common good shared between Google and all the mankind.

Firefox 3.5 used the smallest amount of memory during its peak, it used the smallest amount of memory when all points were averaged, and it used the smallest amount of memory at the end of the experiment after all tabs were closed. Firefox 3.5 continues Firefox 3.0's legacy of being the most memory efficient browser in this style of experiment.

A noter le "in this kind of experiment". Le test en lui-même ne montre pas grand chose, il est biaisé initialement par le fait que Windows gère mal la mémoire dans le sens où il ne maximise pas l'utilisation de la RAM. La seule chose importante est de savoir si la mémoire utilisée est la RAM ou la mémoire virtuelle (ie. un bête fichier). Tant qu'on reste dans la RAM, il n'y a pas de problème, et de ce point de vue là, une utilisation par Chrome de 1Go de mémoire sur les 4Go de mémoire physique (configuration du test) n'est pas forcément négatif au niveau des performances. De même, si la faible consommation de mémoire de Firefox est due à un nettoyage aggressif des structures de données temporaires, ça peut être pénalisant en vitesse. Mais étant donné que ce test ne regarde que la mémoire (espace) et pas la vitesse (temps), les conclusions ne peuvent être que très limitées. La remarque sur IE8 ne fait pas très sérieux...

I Am Here Map is a Javascript library to create and embedded map to find the

latitude and longitude of a point, using the ModestMaps Javascript API.

It also supports geocoding, reverse-geocoding and automagic client positioning

using a variety of geolocation providers as well as the ability to display shape

contours for locations that have been reverse-geocoded.

The term “2D Barcode” is the name given to the next generation of the barcodes we are used to on everyday packaging and products. Before digging into 2D barcodes, we need to explain the history of 1D barcodes and how we arrived at this point. 1D barcodes are the traditional barcodes we see everyday, they are called one-dimensional because their pattern of thick and thin vertical bars is read in only one direction, from left to right.

My Arduino-based weather station has improved in the last week to the point where it’s delivering useful data.

XBee modems are one of the easiest ways to create a wireless point-to-point or mesh network.

S’il se rêve en lider massimo du 2.0, le Français s’illustre pour l’heure surtout en Massimo Gargia du Net à courir les mondanités (pourquoi pas) et à se barder de l’aura des people qu’il rencontre (moins chic).

Transfer Methods. This is at the core of REST and ROA and is the foundation of Web-Oriented Architecture. You can read Roy Fielding's chapter on REST (he conceived of the approach originally) or you can just follow the simple guidelines here. At other times, protocols like BitTorrent can be used if the requirements warrant it, but these are exceptional scenarios that I will cover at some point in the future.

Ne pas citer XMPP dans les "Transfer Methods" quelque jours après l'annonce de Google Wave, et surtout le mettre dans le schéma au niveau des Microformats fait perdre toute crédibilité à l'article.
