Près de deux ans se seront écoulés depuis la fin
d’Inri, deuxième volet du Triangle
secret, avec la publication en mars prochain du premier tome des
Gardiens du sang, troisième cycle – ou
saison, c’est la mode – de la saga ésotérique conduite
par Didier Convard. Denis Falque sera chargé de la
plupart des dessins sur un tome qui se passera essentiellement de nos jours, avec
l’assassinat d’une huile du Vatican par un mystérieux tueur au service de la
foi.

Sans même entrer
dans le vif du sujet, Bottomless Belly Button, roman graphique de
Dash Shaw, en impose par
ses mensurations : 720 pages, un dos de 5,5 cm sur lequel on trouve une foultitude d’infos,
bref, une sacrée bête. Acclamé meilleure bande dessinée
indépendante de l’année aux USA, le pavé édité par
Fantagraphics arrive aux
éditions Çà et là pour 30 €, un an
après la sortie du tout aussi imposant Château l’Attente.
Mais rien à voir ici avec de la fantasy médiévale, Bottomless Belly
Button flirte du côté de la chronique sociale iconoclaste à
travers les aventures de la famille Loony, qu’on croirait presque sortie d’un film de
Wes Anderson, genre Famille Tenenbaum. Il faut dire qu’après 40 ans
de mariage, les parents Loony annoncent leur divorce, et réunissent tout le monde dans la
maison familiale. Fantaisie parmi d’autres, Peter, le cadet de la famille, apparaît
la quasi-totalité du bouquin sous les traits d’une grenouille –
même s’il nous a fallu un quart du livre pour comprendre que ses narines
n’étaient pas ses yeux ! –, en écho à sa position
de loser que ce soit sur le plan professionnel ou sentimental. Lui, comme les autres, va vivre un
séjour riche en rebondissements tapant au cÅ“ur de ses complexes. À la
fin, tous les personnages auront évolué de façon perceptible.
Varié et hétéroclite, tant sur les thèmes que sur le plan visuel,
avec des mises en pages éclatées pour rythmer les différentes parties et de
nombreux jeux graphiques avec des onomatopées d’ambiances “musique à
fond” et de mouvements “emmêle”, les 720 pages se lisent d’une
traite. Pourtant, Bottomless Belly Button aura du mal à
séduire ceux pour qui les histoires qui mènent en voyage dans la psyché des
personnages ne font ni chaud ni froid. Reste qu’en la matière, grâce à
ses trouvailles graphiques et à sa façon de traiter de façon simple les
choses complexes, le roman graphique de Dash Shaw est ce qui s’est fait de mieux cette
année !

À la façon de l’Étrangleur de
Tardi chez Casterman, Carabas s’essaye au format tabloïd en proposant
une histoire courte de Low Moon, le nouveau Jason, déjà
dispo chez l’éditeur dans un petit format de 180 pages vendu 20 euros. Cette version
allégée, proposée 3 euros au format journal, nous fait profiter en
très grand format des situations cocasses imaginées par Jason, soit un western
où le jeu d’échec semble avoir remplacé les bons vieux colts
poussiéreux. À cela s’ajoutent les habituels running gags et les innombrables
comiques de situation. Forcément Jasonesque.
En deux mots : Western et mat
De Jason, aux éditions Carabas - 20 pages - 3 € (visuel

alt="" /br /br /Ford announced today that it's "re-evaluating strategic options for Volvo Car
Corporation", which in plain English means that it may sell the Swedish brand that it's owned since
1998. The Dearborn-based automaker says this re-evaluation will take about three months, during
which Ford and Volvo will work together as they always have. While the sale of Volvo will be no
doubt be decided upon during this time, Ford has also said it will be working on propping Volvo up
as a stand-alone business since the Premier Automotive Group, which once included Volvo, Jaguar,
Aston Martin and Land Rover, has been dismantled. There's no mention of how much Ford thinks it can
get for Volvo or whether any companies have actually expressed interest in the foreign brand known
most for slavish devotion to safety. Though Volvo sales have been down sharply this year, the same
can be said for virtually every brand in the industry. Potential suitors of Volvo may also be
interested in the a

Something about this Acer Aspire One with
wheels just looks so... right. After suiting up the laptop with a tiny motor, some "crazy" wheels
and an Arduino Diecimila, the crafty DIY-er
wrote a bit of code that commands the unit to perform simple movements like turn left, turn right,
move forward, and pause, while transmitting some breathtaking video of its travels back to a
different computer via WiFi. The unit doesn't do reverse yet, nor can it pop wheelies -- after all,
it's no Rovio -- though the wishlist of possible
improvements is fairly uh... impressive. Check the video (not the Acer-transmitted one) after the
break, though we have to give you fair warning: the robot steamrolls a cat near the end.

The heart of Charles Nessons' a
href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20081030/0203582685.shtml"case/a against the RIAA is that
the copyright law cited to attack file-sharers is unconstitutional due to the ridiculous statutory
fines put on copyright infringement. The original fines were really meant for commercial copyright
counterfeiters -- and the law was never intended to be used against random internet users sharing
some songs off of their computer with no profit motive at all. The law also didn't anticipate songs
being sold for less than $1. So, with statutory fines for each act of infringement sitting between
$750 and $150,000, there are some big problems. Luckily, it appears some judges are beginning to
agree with the idea that these fines are ridiculous. Ray Beckerman highlights a
href="http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008/11/practice-tip-statutory-damages-should.html"
target="_new"a recent ruling by District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin/a in the Southern District of
New York, where Schendlin stated: blockquotei "At the end of the day, 'statutory damages should
bear some relation to actual damages suffered'... and 'cannot be divorced entirely from economic
reality'" /i/blockquote Beckerman notes that a more reasonable standard would be somewhere between
zero and nine times the actual damages -- with the lost profit on a single download being
approximately $0.35 -- meaning damages per song should range from $0 to $3.15 per song file.
Somehow, I'm guessing the RIAA will disagree.br /br /a

*I have been fighting with this Sapphire HD3850 for a couple weeks now and it simply won’t
function properly. The latest example is what I did….PLEASE tell me if I missed something or
did any thing wrong.
Ran ATI uninstaller
Restarted in safe mode
Ran driver sweeper for ATI products
Ran the latest drivers from Sapphire – in this case 8.10 w/hotfix
Installer errors out and 8.10, or any other version for that matter, won’t install.
So I restarted, not having any catalyst software and check out my display properties. It clearly
recognizes the card by name. I’m running at native resolution 1680x1050 but the original
problem I found are still present - Jerky and choppy window dragging and scrolling. I mean
seriously, it takes minutes to scroll down a word doc. Under Advanced I can see that my hardware
acceleration is only three clicks from the left. All directX stuff disabled. When I move it over to
the max far right, directx is now enabled but when I test via dxdiag, it all fails. If I restart it
resets back to the 3rd position under hardware acceleration. All games (DOOM3, need for speed most
wanted) can’t start. 3dmark06 won’t run.
I don’t know if this is a driver issue – how can it be, I’ve tried installing
practically EVERY version from 8.1 to 8.11
Or maybe it’s a compatibility issue with my Asus P4C800 Deluxe MoBoard and or my 3.0ghz
P4.
I am at the point where its looking like I have to return this disaster to newegg. But my old
Saphhire 9800XT – which has been 110% for the last 4 years is still seconds away from
croaking. I need an AGP replacement. Additional upgrades like processor or MoBO are not going to
happen. I’ll be building a whole new PC later. All I need is a video card that can at the
very least match the 9800XT in abilities, or maybe hopefully surpass it, even if by just a little.
I WANTED this 3850 to work. It just can’t be done.
could an x1650Pro be the answer?

A historic Presidential election,
an economic crisis, and even Hannah Montana were unable to capture the #1 spot in Yahoo’s
yearly rankings of popular search terms. Instead, for the 7th time in 8 years, that title goes to
Britney Spears.
In the announcement, Yahoo tries to explain: “In 2008, she made a comeback with a
new album, three MTV Music Awards, a sitcom guest star role and documentary on her rise, fall and
career comeback.” True, Britney actually had a #1 song this year – her
first in a decade. But, Yahoo’s rankings are much more a testament to our collective
fascination with pop culture, as other terms in the top 10 include World Wresting Entertainment,
Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Angelina Jolie, and American Idol. President-Elect
Barack Obama was only the third most-searched for term.
In addition to the most searched terms overall, Yahoo has posted rankings for most searched
politicians, Olympians, news stories, women, famous deaths, economic terms, and
“rising” celebrities.
If you’re thinking the celebrity fascination might be a Yahoo thing, think again. In
Google’s end of year search
rankings for 2007, Britney came in at #3, with terms including American Idol, Anna Nicole
Smith, and Paris Hilton blanketing the top 10. Any way you slice it, it’s fairly clear
we’re all in the wrong business
