« “Google n’est pas l’ennemi. Google est la clé de la compréhension de la nouvelle économie et du nouveau monde qui s’ouvre” explique Jeff Jarvis à ceux qui s’entêtent à désigner la plus grande réussite entrepreneuriale du XXIe siècle comme une menace. Si menace il y a, ce n’est pas là où ses détracteurs la dénonce qu’il faut la chercher... »

A project spokesman has said GPL daddy Richard Stallman was wrong to say Mono will be featured in Debian's default installation, adding Mono would be used by just a small number of users.»
It's not the first time Richard Stallman was wrong. But can we expect more from this retarded hippy?

«The money is irrelevant; the expensive resource here is my brain. If I choose open source, I don't have to think about licensing, feature matrices, or recurring billing. I know, I know, we don't use software that costs money here, but I'd almost be willing to pay for the privilege of not having to think about that stuff ever again. »

Christophe Lefevbre a écrit: «N’est ce pas exagéré tout ce vacarme autours de Twitter ? C’est clair, Twitter est un super outil, très social, qui répond à une demande de notre temps : Pouvoir communiquer avec son réseau n’importe quand, n’importe où, facilement et rapidement, mais celui ci a également des défauts et n’est finalement qu’un réseau social de plus. ... »
Il y a AMHA quelques propos exagérés là-dedans: certes ces propos contre-balancent les "Twitter evangelists" mais ne fait-il pas éviter de tomber dans le panneau fréquent qui consiste à opposer à une fausseté son opposé symétrique? (tout aussi faux) ...

« So are you more likely to vote for conservative or liberal politicians and causes?
A group of Stanford psychologists say most people can be swayed toward either the right or left depending on whether they’re prompted to think about the payoff of their own hard work or the good fortune that has smiled upon them.
When they’re asked to focus on the qualities of self-reliance and hard work, they’re more likely to express conservative viewpoints. And when they zero in on things like luck and opportunity, they come out more liberal.
It turns out some voters can flip-flop just as fast as any politician. All they need is a little push.
The reason, the researchers say in a paper posted online and slated for publication in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology ... »

The health problems of Indigenous peoples around the world are intimately tied to a number of unique factors, such as colonization, globalization, migration, and loss of land, language and culture. These factors remain even after the "typical" social problems facing the poor, such as inadequate housing, unemployment, and low education levels are addressed, according to Dr. Malcolm King, lead author of a paper to be published tomorrow in the Lancet.
Based at the University of Alberta, and currently Scientific Director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research's Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health, Dr. King, along with coauthors Dr. Alexandra Smith (University of Toronto) and Dr. Michael Gracey (Unity of First People of Australia in Perth, Australia), wrote the paper to provide health professionals and policy makers with insights into the special culturally based needs and social context of Indigenous peoples.
Drawing on a growing body of research work done in cooperation with Aboriginal Peoples across Canada, Dr. King highlights a frame of reference where wellness involves a balance between the person, his/her family, community, and environment.

« In times of doubt and uncertainty, many Americans turn to self-help books in search of encouragement, guidance and self-affirmation. The positive self-statements suggested in these books, such as "I am a lovable person" or "I will succeed," are designed to lift a person's low self-esteem and push them into positive action.»
«According to a recent study in Psychological Science, however, these statements can actually have the opposite effect.
Psychologists Joanne V. Wood and John W. Lee from the University of Waterloo, and W.Q. Elaine Perunovic from the University of New Brunswick, found that individuals with low self-esteem actually felt worse about themselves after repeating positive self-statements.»
