Lectures numériques: L'OLED, l'avenir du e-paper ?
Intéressant. le 180º n'est pas percu comme un avantage ici au Japon. Le téléphone portable est l'outil majeur de communications non verbales et la densité humaine est importante. On a donc très facilement accès à l'écran de l'autre. La parade a été de vendre des films plastiques pour coller sur l'écran réduisant la lisibilité de l'écran selon l'angle. :)3. L'OLED offre un angle de vision de 180° Contrairement aux écrans LCD des premières générations, les images affichées sur un écran OLED sont visibles quelle que soit la position du spectateur par rapport à l'écran. Un avantage certain pour un produit nomade.

MI5 report challenges views on terrorism in Britain | UK news | The Guardian
t concludes that it is not possible to draw up a typical profile of the "British terrorist" as most are "demographically unremarkable" and simply reflect the communities in which they live. The "restricted" MI5 report takes apart many of the common stereotypes about those involved in British terrorism. They are mostly British nationals, not illegal immigrants and, far from being Islamist fundamentalists, most are religious novices. Nor, the analysis says, are they "mad and bad".

228 Incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
effet papillonThe spark that set off the uprising occurred on February 27, 1947, when a police agent attempted to confiscate black market cigarettes from an elderly Taiwanese woman, Lin Jian-Mai. She resisted and, as accounts allege, was then pistol-whipped by the agents. An angry crowd soon gathered around the agents and the woman. After a warning shot fired by one of the agents went astray and killed an onlooker, the crowd pursued the agents to a nearby police station. The crowd surrounded the building, and demanded that the officer be given to them. The captain refused and the anger of the crowd heightened when it was discovered that the agents had been spirited out of the building via a rear entrance. Violence finally flared the following morning on February 28.
