L'actu en patates  -

Nicolas Sarkozy a annoncé aujourd’hui que le RSA (revenu de solidarité
active) serait financé par une nouvelle taxation de 1.1% des revenus du capital,
provoquant le mécontentement des plus libéraux et notamment du Medef et un soutien
presque embarassé de quelques grandes personnalités de gauche. (C’est une
impression personnelle).
Sinon, ça n’a rien à voir avec l’actualité, mais ce dessin sur
Robin des bois me rappelle cette série que j’avais réalisée il y a deux ans.

 À quelques jours de la rentrée des classes, le numéro de
rentrée de L’Écho des savanes se passe le costume de prof et
distribue bonnes et mauvaises notes à 7 sites dédiés à
l’actualité de la bande dessinée. Réalisé par Laurent
Mélikian, le barème apprécie 5 qualités
– la fréquence des mises à jour, la variété des
infos, l’ergonomie, l’intérêt des réactions et le look
–, notées sur 5 points.
Wartmag arrive en deuxième position avec 19/25, devancé d’un point par
ActuaBD – en tête du classement. L’Écho nous gratifie
d’un chouette 5/5 pour le look du site (heureusement qu’ils ne nous ont pas vus en
vrai, surtout El Déglingo) et d’un petit 2/5 sur l’intérêt de vos
réactions. BDGest’ se pose sur la troisième place de ce podium avec 15
points, suivi par Du9, ToutenBD, Auracan et BDZoom. Deuxième, une bonne place, près
du radiateur, loin du rang reservé aux têtes à claques !

Sony's IFA press event isn't for another couple of hours, but we managed to sneak these shots of
Sony's minor refresh to its Walkman lineup.
Everything is looking nice and sleek, and the screens on the S-series players we saw that were on
looked sharp and bright, but we're still waiting to see the fruit of Stringer's
talk last year about not suffering at the hands of Apple as badly in portable video as they did
with portable audio -- these Walkmans just aren't doing it. Stand by for official news as we get
it.

Following the recent post we had about Apple taking down popular games from its
App store, the latest buzz in on Apple denying a comic book reader entrance to its iPhone app store because the primary comic
book being offered was too violent. This has created quite an uproar -- though, again, Apple has
been upfront about the fact that this is a closed system from the beginning. So, it's not entirely
clear why people are pissed off at Apple. It hasn't mislead anyone about the fact that it will
block and censor content and apps.
Still, it does make you wonder why Apple is bothering? All it seems to do is piss off people. It
takes extra work and effort on Apple's part and it's hard to see who benefits. Plenty of other
systems out there allow anyone to develop apps and content, and they get by just fine, often using
user feedback systems to make sure that "bad" content and apps get weeded out fast, without any
complaints from users. Having Apple set itself up as the ultimate gatekeeper isn't "censorship" --
it's just pointless.

 You think
Hilary Swank would have
learned her lesson after finding deep love that died way too early and left her with a suspenders
scar. You'd also think she might be wary about her involvement in perky fare, since her forays into
the genre haven't brought her as much success as her dramatic work. Guess not.
Swank is going nuts scooping up projects to produce and star in. Earlier this month, she was
looking at
Fat, and now Variety
reports that she wants to backstab her best friend. Along with producing partner Molly Smith she's
grabbed Emily Giffin's debut novel,
Something Borrowed. Instead of borrowing, say, a hairbrush, she's stealing her
friend's man. This potential starring vehicle for the actress focuses on a "Manhattan attorney who
becomes involved with her best friend's fiance following her 30th birthday." Yes, her best friend
since elementary school. Oh, but before you think she's the only jerk -- the woman realizes she's
in love with the man and sick of her manipulative friend. Wait. That's still jerky.
The project is out to writers, and Swank has already practiced one unhappy-lookin face (look to the
upper right).

It's harder to single out Nintendo for overlooking its "core
audience" when you find out things like this. Speaking with GamesIndustry, Shuhei Yoshida, Sony's head of worldwide studios,
revealed that the company chose to fund development of a desktop toy virtual pet - EyePet - over a promising core audience
action title, Eight Days.
When asked about the affect that canceling London Studio projects The Getaway 3 and Eight Days had on
other titles, Yoshida responded, "There are so many things that we want to do, more than we can do
with the resources. So when London Studio was looking at the early work on EyePet and the
prototype of Eight Days, they knew they couldn't do all of them." So ... EyePet
it was.
Granted, we don't know with any certainty that Eight Days was going to be any
good, but an original action IP on a still very core audience console would seem like
something worth investing more time in over a ... virtual pet.
Yohshida also said regarding the London Studio that, "There are even more things they're working on
at early concept stage." Tip for the staff there: If you don't want your big games canned, don't
mention your "pet" projects to Shuhei the next time he pops in for a visit.

Yes, Heidi, you've got the right idea. This is definitely the way to finally get people to respect you as an
artist. No foolin'. In the meantime after looking at these pictures, I gotta ask: Does no one
carry a gun to the supermarket anymore? You can't tell me there wasn't some old lady packin' who
could've mowed these two down by the arugula. I thought this was America, dammit!

 Steve Benen / Washington
Monthly:
A
SCRAPPY KID FROM SCRANTON.... The political world has certain expectations about the
kind of speech a vice presidential nominee is going to deliver at his or her convention.
It's going to be polished, there will be a few clever turns of phrase, and there may be some
call-and-response thrown in for good measure.

Archeologists in Mexico think they might have discovered Xibalba, a mythical Mayan underworld also
known as the "place of fear." After some serious scuba diving and inching across deeply submerged
underwater tunnels near the Yucatan peninsula, investigators reached an entrance to a bunch of dry
chambers with the stone ruins of eleven sacred temples and a 330-foot long road. There were also
lots and lots of human bones. According to the ancient Mayan scripture Popol Vuh, the entrance to
Xibalba was once protected by rivers filled with blood, scorpions, and pus, and houses swarming
with shrieking bats. Link to Reuters article Xibalba on Wikipedia (Thanks, Baker!)( Lisa Katayama
is a guest blogger.)...
