Blog | just.me | Coming in 2012: The YOU! network!

just.me is a new architecture built on top of the mobile, and particularly the smartphone, ecosystem. It doesn’t take the web as its starting point, it takes the highly personal and ever-present mobile Internet as its starting point. As such it is focused on defining a new consumer software experience, not replacing an existing one. It is also focused on the freedom that comes from placing social tools on a device the consumer fully controls, and not building a big cloud service that owns or acts on the consumers data. We don’t know all of the questions this gives rise to yet, never mind all of the answers. But we are really excited about building on this new ecosystem and learning with users as we go.

Anne Sinclair, la reine de l’info pour pas un rond? : Un plouc chez les bobos

Anne Sinclair, la reine de l’info pour pas un rond?
Le lancement à Paris par Anne Sinclair de l’édition française du Huffington Post – en compagnie de la fondatrice américaine de ce site d’information – a remporté un succès médiatique qui n’étonnera personne, compte tenu de la notoriété de l’ancienne star de TF1. Mais, après le champagne de l’inauguration, nombre de journalistes parisiens ont la gueule de bois. La cause de ce malaise? Les contributions gratuites des blogueurs et des 200 personnalités qui écriront dans ce nouveau journal numérique. Pour les internautes, l’accès y est d’ailleurs lui aussi gratuit, les recettes étant générées par la publicité.

The world's first computer password? It was useless, too

Computer passwords have been around since the 1960s—and MIT may be to blame.

 

If you’re like most people, you’re annoyed by passwords. You’ve got dozens to remember — some of them tortuously complex — and on any given day, as you read e-mails, send tweets, and order groceries online, you’re bound to forget one, or at least mistype it. You may even be one of those unfortunate people who’ve had a password stolen, thanks to the dodgy security on the machines that store them.

But who’s to blame? Who invented the computer password?

Like the invention of the wheel or the story of the doorknob, the password’s creation is shrouded in the mists of history. Romans used them. Shakespeare kicks off Hamlet with one — “Long live the King” — when Bernardo must prove he’s a loyal soldier of the King of Denmark. But where did the first computer password show up?

It probably arrived at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the mid-1960s, when researchers at the university built a massive time-sharing computer called CTSS. The punchline is that even then, passwords didn’t protect users as well as they could have. Technology changes. But, then again, it doesn’t.

Nearly all of the computer historians contacted by Wired in the past few weeks said that the first password must have come from MIT’s Compatible Time-Sharing System. In geek circles, it’s famous. CTSS pioneered many of the building blocks of computing as we know it today: things like e-mail, virtual machines, instant messaging, and file sharing.

Spanair met la clé sous la porte - Actualité aéronautique - AeroWeb-fr.net

La décision a été brutale et a pris tout le monde de court. L'annonce a été effectuée vendredi soir après 21 h 30, dans un communiqué de presse de la compagnie annonçant : "face au manque de visibilité financière pour les mois prochains, la compagnie a décidé de cesser ses opérations pour des raisons de prudence et de sécurité".
Les vols de Spanair ont été annulés, parfois une demie heure avant le départ, clouant ainsi des milliers de passagers au sol. Ces naufragés des airs ont été pris en charge par les compagnies concurrentes comme Vueling, Ibéria et Easyjet afin de les acheminer jusqu'à leurs destinations. La direction de Spanair déclarait: "Nous regrettons cette situation et présentons nos excuses à toutes les personnes affectées".
