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

The 2Wire-built
MediaPoint box has a
long ways to go before it's widely viewed as a formidable opponent to the
Roku Netflix Player, Xbox 360
or the number
of Netflix-enabled
Blu-ray players. That said, we're always down for a fun unboxing, and this one's coming to us
courtesy of Mr. Dave Zatz. Upon firing it up, he didn't have the greatest experience with Ethernet,
but things seemed to get going with WiFi. Granted, he has yet to actually enjoy any material on
this here movie STB, but that's likely because he was busy hosting up a litany of photographs for
your enjoyment. Speaking of, the whole gallery awaits you in the read link.
I just got the logitech G5 mouse, after hearing so much praise about it (including on macs)
I plugged it in and immediately noticed it was awful. It has horrid jittery movements when you try
and move it slowly, and whenever you just make short movements in general.
I plugged it into my wife's PC and it works perfectly.
Does anyone know why it is doing this, and how to fix it? Otherwise I am returning it.
I'm writing a Cocoa Obj-C application that has a single operation. It will work through a loop (for
or while) in a single window.
I've gotten the interface working, but I'm stuck as to how best to implement a "cancel operation"
button. What sort of code would I need to cancel the method that is started by the "DO work"
button? Is there a single cancel operation that I can implement?
I think these questions have already been answered in various threads but I wanted to share my own
personal experience anyhow.
I purchased an iPhone 2G a little over a year ago.
In July 2008, I upgraded to 3G iPhone. My 2G was deactivated.
My wife has been using the 2G iPhone for everything except a phone until her Sprint contract ran
out.
Over the weekend we went to the AT&T store to activate the iPhone 2G and port my wife's number
over from Sprint. The AT&T rep needed her Sprint account number and PIN code for the porting.
The SIM card was changed. Everything went well but there are a couple of things that should be
known:
1. The iPhone 2G needed to be activated through iTunes. When she plugged the iPhone in and we
started iTunes, it asked what data plan she wanted. The only one available was the old 2G plan for
$20 a month (unlimited data and 200 text messages). All of her previous settings in iTunes (music,
calendar, e-mail, etc) all remained the same so nothing was lost when syncing. After a few seconds,
the phone was activated on her Sprint number.
2. Both phones (Sprint and iPhone) were active on the same number until the porting process was
complete. We could make calls on the iPhone but to receive calls, her Sprint phone would ring.
3. Both phones must be left turned on until a text message is received on the iPhone stating that
the porting process has happened. Then, both phones are turned off and the iPhone is turned on to
complete the process. Deviating from this procedure will cause issues.
After the entire process was complete, everything worked fine. No settings and content were changed
on her iPhone 2G which is great because I was concerned about her having to reload all of her
music.
All in all, a pretty painless process. I was happy that the old data plan was still available to
use. I thought it was stupid that she would have to pay for the 3G data plan when the phone wasn't
even 3G.
Thanks for reading and hope this clarifies a few things when users wish to activate an old 2G
phone.
I was wondering what's the most heavy cpu/memory operation you've been able to run on your new
mba(1.6ghz 120hd) without any problems? code? compile? play a game under windows? watch a
movie?
I have a few custom ringtones for a few of my favorites contacts, for some reason periodically they
will appear with the default ringtone instead of the one that i have assigned to them, I am getting
pushed contacts from MobileMe, don't know if that has something to do with it, how can i fix this?
thanks

As a kid one of the creepiest and coolest children's films I watched on a regular basis was
The Witches, a big screen
adaptation of Roald Dahl's book starring Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch. It was announced
back in 2006 that Alfonso Cuaron would direct and Guillermo del Toro would produce a remake of the
film, which could easily turn into a mega-franchise (if you've read the book or seen the movie
you'll know why). New details have finally surfaced online, which report that producer Guillermo
del Toro might direct!
