Steve’s Bio: A Personal Perspective | Monday Note
Get thee to a physical bookstore, if you can find one, or to Amazon’s or Apple’s online dispensers, you won’t regret it.
Amazon ou Apple ? Pourquoi référencer les deux boutiques de livres électroniques les plus fermées du marché ? Elles seules ont le livre en question ? Non, toutes les boutiques généralistes du marchés l'ont. Elles ont besoin de publicité ? Hahahahahaha. Non, c'est juste de la propagande par omission, ou par aveuglement devant la réussite de ces systèmes clos, donc confortables.

Windows 8: BFD — Big Forking Decision | Monday Note
For the first time in Microsoft’s history, the users of Windows-powered hardware will have to ask: ‘Will this application work on that device?’ You can run Office 2010 if there’s Intel inside, but not on its ARM sibling
Jean-Louis Gassée a là la mémoire d'une Time Capsule Apple : ça chauffe, mais c'est plutôt mauvais signe. Microsoft a fait de l'ARM dans le passé, et c'était déjà appelé Windows, et déjà ça ne faisait pas tourner les mêmes applications que sous x86 et il n'y a avait pas de portabilité directe (et ça tournait sous plus d'architectures matérielles qu'il n'y en aura jamais pour iOS).

Steve: Who’s Going to Protect Us From Cheap and Mediocre Now? | Monday Note
A nice MacBook Air competitor starting at $1969. The real thing starts at $1299.
Jean-Louis Gassée n'est pas souvent de mauvaise foi, mais ça lui arrive quand même.

What I want for my Mac | Monday Note
As described in a previous Note, I bought the family pack for OS X and iLife updates even though the ‘’single” version can be installed on any number of machines. That alone probably gets me into the lower tier of the Friendly Idiot database somewhere in Apple’s Cloud, but the fact that I also pay $100/yr for MobileMe upgrades me to Platinum status.
C'est là la grande force d'Apple.

The poison of arrogance | Monday Note
Second, such practices ultimately damage revenues. Take Apple’s eBooks Store, for instance. Using of a French-based iTunes account prevents a customer from buying books in English on the US eBooks store, this without offering any legal reason for the prohibition. Now, turn to France: perhaps as a surprise to US-based Apple execs, a significant number of French iPad users want to read books in English. The result of Apple’s segregation of iTunes accounts? These users flock to Amazon Kindle’s application.
Ca a toujours été comme ça avec Apple, musique, puis vidéo et maintenant livres : nihil novi sub sole. La grande révolution d'Apple, ce ne sont pas les périphériques, ni les technologies, mais bien le modèle stalinien du magasin unique, avec ses fournisseurs approuvés par le régime.

Le Monde’s escape velocity | Monday Note
In rocket scientist parlance, escape velocity is the speed needed to break free from Earth’s gravitational field. Last Friday, by an overwhelming majority, Le Monde’s staff voted to escape the black hole of French politics — or, at least, to give their paper the best chance to do so.
