Tech.view: Turn by turn | The Economist
by karlcow
Another expression of this less-is-more approach to navigation is the Maps Optimised to the Vehicular Environment (MOVE) project at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Using variations of the LineDrive approach, the researchers found that drivers needed less time to understand navigational instructions presented semantically (in words and numbers) rather than symbolically (as street signs and corporate logos)

Une technique CSS sympa de Google
by tonio78
Les feuilles de styles des thèmes iGoogle sont souvent assez innovantes. L’espace horizontal de la page est occupé à 100% quelque soit la résolution de l’écran. Malgré l’absence de fond uni, l’espace est occupé par des images régulièrement espacées avec de légères variations. Il ne s’agit donc pas d’un simple fond répété.
J’ai donc fait un peu “d’ingénierie inverse” sur certains thèmes d’iGoogle pour comprendre comment cela est réalisé. Cette technique ne concerne pas uniquement l’intégration XHTML/CSS. Pour concevoir ce type de page, il faut instaurer un véritable échange créatif entre les artistes, et les techniciens, ce qui manque à mon avis souvent.

FatFreeCart is a free shopping cart developed by the team behind E-junkie shopping cart. Get Google CheckoutIt works inside your website, your blog and will even work from your MySpace page. It is simply a copy-paste cart and does not require you to register with us or install anything.
It works with PayPal and Google Checkout. Get PayPalIt supports product variations, shipping, handling and sales tax.
If you are already using PayPal shopping cart, you will find the button code is similar. On top of being certified by PayPal and Google, it has been successfully tested on humans and they absolutely love it (which means higher conversion rates for you). FatFreeCart is also the only serious cart with a somewhat funny name.

LE CORPS DES FEMMES : GESTION - ÉLIMINATION
by rike_
Pour chaque être humain, et pour l’humanité elle-même, le corps est le premier ustensile (avant l’outil fabriqué), dont les usages, érotisme compris, sont objets de savoir et de culture. Dans les sociétés patriarcales, le corps des femmes est objet de plaisir et de pouvoir ; objet aussi terrifiant qu’il est fascinant, d’emploi malaisé et aléatoire. Le présent chapitre évoque certaines variations récentes, à l’échelle historique, de l’usage social des femmes, de la contention à la prostitution en passant par la médicalisation de l’orgasme et l’éducation sexuelle, jusqu’à la tentation « gynécidaire ».
