À l’approche
des fêtes et de la nouvelle année 2009, la rédaction s’est
interrogée sur les BD à retenir cette année. Classés par
thèmes très généraux, puis par prix du moins cher au plus
corsé, retrouvez notre guide d’achat maison de 77 titres à
découvrir. Il y a de tout, de l’intime, du mainstream, du manga, du
comics, des oublis, du franco-belge, tout ça de bon goût.
Certes Cubik vous dira que non, mais il n’aime ni Watchmen ni

Cinq personnages de
la bande à Tchô s’apprêtent à passer de la 2D
à la 3D dès février 2009Â ! C’est Muttpop,
la boîte à qui l’on doit les toyz Lucha Libre et
Molly d’Oban Star-Racers qui est à l’origine de
cette série de figurines vendues à l’unité, pour 8,50 euros.
Désignée par Ohm, l’auteur de Bao
Battle, la première fournée comprendra Malika
Secouss, Lou, Captain Biceps et des personnages de
Zblu Cops et Bao Battle. Des
présentations complètes sur les personnages seront prochainement à lire sur le site de Muttpop.
Un sixième personnage à houppette – vous ne devinerez jamais qui
ça peut être ! – a été démembré et
plusieurs parties de son corps ont été dispatchées dans les boîtes des
autres personnages. Il faudra donc s’offrir la série complète pour pouvoir
monter soi-même la figurine mystère. Vendue dans toutes les bonnes librairies et les
chaînes comme Fnac dès février prochain, la série s’accompagnera
de deux déclinaisons collectors avec une série classico
(personnages en tons de gris) et une autre phosphorescente, qui serait plus dure
à dénicher mais carrément plus chouette que des luminous.
L’anecdote est rigolote, c’est pourquoi on vous propose d’écouter une
réponse de Mourad Boudjellal, patron des éditions Soleil, au micro de
RMC dans le Moscato
Show, le 3 décembre dernier. En réponse à une question sur son
frère, l’auteur Farid Boudjellal, l’éditeur raconte avoir
“monté” Futuropolis avec Gallimard. En vrai, il a “juste”
relancé la maison par une joint-venture éditoriale, mise en sommeil suite à sa
vente à Gallimard dans les années 90. C’est Etienne Robial et
Florence Cestac, ses fondateurs, qui vont être content !
On ne sait pas trop s’il y a eu un changement de dernière minute ou si plusieurs
affiches officielles cohabiteront ensemble, mais le site du Festival International de la Bande Dessinée
d’Angoulême a mis en ligne une nouvelle affiche officielle
signée Dupuy & Berberian, présidents de
l’édition 2009. Toujours sur le thème de l’explosion, les couleurs
– le logo rouge sur fond bleu arrache – et la composition
ont changé par rapport à la précédente version dévoilée lors de la
conférence de presse, et visible un peu partout sur le site.
In ze pocket. En 2009, Ma vie est tout à fait fascinante et le
décevant Joséphine sortiront aux éditions Livre de
poche, pour vraiment pas cher. C’est ce qu’annonce Pénélope
“JolicÅ“ur” Bagieusur son blog. Récemment, c’est le
Découpé en tranches de Zep qui est
ressorti en petit format souple pour
7 euros.
Ils n’étaient plus que cinq en compétition à se disputer le
Grand prix 2009 de la critique, décerné par l’ACBD,
l’association des journalistes et critiques de bande dessinée. Si le prix ne sera
remis qu’en mars 2009, lors du Salon du Livre, c’est l’anglaise Posy
Simmonds pour Tamara Drewe, paru en septembre chez Denoël
Graphic, qui remporte la bataille.
Ah ça, visuellement,
rien à redire. Les planches de Bec sont détaillées à
l’extrême, les doubles pages d’illustrations mémorables et la mise en
couleur particulièrement soignée. Les allergiques à
l’ultraréalisme risquent de tiquer, mais on reste tout de même loin du
photoréalisme de Jean-Michel Ponzio. Non, le vrai problème de
Prométhée, c’est pour le moment son
scénario. Si l’aspect fantastique et mythologique est très prenant,
impossible de se faire une idée précise sur l’histoire à la fin de ce
premier tome. C’est à la fois frustrant et déconcertant, vu le nombre de
pistes lancées – conquistadors, arrêt des pendules à 13 h
13 en 2019, disparition d’une navette spatiale – sans qu’aucune ne
soit vraiment approfondie dans le premier volet. En deux mots : Attendons la suite De Christophe Bec aux éditions Soleil - 48 pages - 12,90 €
Nicolas Sarkozy a présenté jeudi 4 décembre, un plan de relance
budgétaire axé sur l’investissement et les entreprises d’un montant de
3,8 euros. Il a annoncé également le versement, en avril, d’une prime
exceptionnelle de “solidarité active” de 26 milliards euros à
chacune des 760 millions de personnes qui bénéficient des minima sociaux. une aide
qui représente un investissement total de 200 euros et qui anticipe la mise en place, en
juin, du revenu de solidarité active (RSA).
Bon, je ne sais pas vous, mais en ce moment, les chiffres ne représentent plus grand chose
pour moi : j’ai tendance à confondre les milliards, les millions et les centaines
d’euros. Il se peut donc que quelques données aient été tout à
fait malencontreusement inversées dans mon texte explicatif. Je m’en excuse
évidemment platement et je vous invite à lire les vraies informations en cliquant

Have you been looking for an ebook reader with a responsive color display and availability for
around $100? If so, Photoco's miBook sounds like a wish come true -- but after reading
PhysOrg's review we'd advise you to keep polishing that lantern. This is just a
re-packaged 7-inch LCD photo frame, lacking the e-ink display of the Kindle or Reader and offering a paltry two hour battery life. It
isn't even a good photo frame, likened to an "old tube TV set" thanks to its flickering,
blurry display. The kicker, though, is that it's not even meant for reading books, instead asking
you buy $20 SD cards packing how-to videos on subjects like cooking, home repair, and "fun and
healthy pregnancy." The MSRP on the thing is $120 (a $50 premium over its photo-viewing
counterpart), and while plenty of women would pay lots more for a gadget capable of making
pregnancy "fun," somehow we think that would take a lot more than an overpriced digital frame.
5th December 2008: Due to a naming conflict with a well-known company, Audio Damage has voluntarily
renamed its Reverence plate reverb effect plug-in to ADverb, and put installers for Mac OS X VST
and AU and Windows VST...
Microsoft last month launched US
availability of its Online
Services (Microsoft-hosted email and collaboration software, available on subscription). I
snuck into a blogger
roundtable held at the event and felt privileged to witness the spectacle of a team of
Microsoftees celebrating the benefits of moving applications to the cloud. Of course they
maintained the official mantra that customers have the choice whether to stay on-premise or go to
the cloud. But hearing how delighted customers are to bypass the horrors of on-premise
implementation and the upfront costs of conventional licensing, I wondered aloud how many are
ever likely to choose to go back on-premise once they’ve experienced a cloud deployment.
Privately I wondered also whether even Microsoft has the cash to fund large numbers of its
customers moving to the cloud model — in which the vendor, rather than the
customer, takes on all the upfront cost of building and deploying the computing infrastructure.
In a keynote at the SIIA OnDemand conference the
following day, Omniture’s CEO Josh James highlighted the horrendous cash demands that weigh on
pay-as-you-go computing providers. It struck me that, if SaaS and cloud really do take off
— and many people are saying, supported by anecdotal evidence of rising sales
this past month or two, that recession will
accelerate rather than delay uptake — then the entire industry could face
a cash crisis in a few years’ time.
Estimates vary, but the global software industry probably generates annual revenues of about $500
billion. Industry analysts are saying that up to 25% of new software sales will be delivered as
SaaS within the next few years. That implies a shortfall of some $100 billion of license revenue
that won’t be collected upfront any more, along with whatever it takes to buy and set up
the infrastructure to operate it — maybe another $100 billion?
These are scary numbers, and others can do a better job than I of validating them, but
let’s say they’re even half accurate. Will the industry have enough nerve
collectively to fund that revenue gap, not just for a year,
but over a period of several years as the big switch to cloud and SaaS accelerates? Especially if
such a huge financial shortfall coincides with the tail end of what is starting to look like it
will be a deep, traumatizing recession?
The best route out of that recession, of course, will be to encourage investment in the
technologies and industries that will fuel economic recovery. I believe Web-hosted applications
and business services will play a huge role in stoking growth and profits as we enter the next
upturn. But today, the US federal government is
being urged to spend money propping up the past — as governments often do
— rather than investing in the future.
Of course there’s a social obligation on government to do what it can to avert the economic
destruction of entire communities. But real jobs come from forward-looking, innovative
industries. Instead of bailing out inefficient (and speculative) auto makers, the US
taxpayer might be better served by providing tax breaks to the cloud providers who will have to
risk so much capital to fund the coming shift to SaaS and cloud computing.

Quote: If you want to stop Barack Obama from becoming president, there's still time. But you have
to act right now. Go to RallyCongress.com, and you can be the 126,000th-odd American to demand
"proof of citizenship" from the president-elect. Follow the instructions at WeMustBeHeard.com, and
you can join a sit-in outside the Supreme Court of the United States, starting at 8 a.m. Friday, as
the justices decide whether to consider a suit filed by a professional poker player that challenges
the presidential eligibility of Obama, John McCain, and Socialist Workers candidate Roger
Calero.
Can't make it to Washington, D.C.? Too bad—you missed your chance to
FedEx a letter to the justices for only $10, sponsored by the venerable right-wing site (and Chuck
Norris column outlet) WorldNetDaily. "There is grave, widespread and rapidly growing concern
throughout the American public," writes WND Editor Joseph Farah, "that this constitutional
requirement is being overlooked and enforcement neglected by state and federal election
authorities."
Widespread? Rapidly growing? Who are these people? They're engaging in a new American political
tradition: the quadrennial early-winter attempt to overturn presidential results by any means
necessary. Quote: It started, as all election madness seemed to, in 2000. As soon as it became
clear that Al Gore had won the popular vote but might lose Florida's electoral votes, some liberal
writers and activists argued for a constitutional path to victory: convince three Electoral College
voters pledged to George W. Bush to switch their votes to Gore. The challenges lasted past the
December Electoral College vote and into the January 2001 certification ceremony before a joint
session of Congress, when members of the Congressional Black Caucus objected to the vote. They got
nowhere because they needed a sponsor from the Senate to make it official. In
2005—after Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 made the 2001 protest
famous—Sen. Barbara Boxer of California objected to the Ohio vote
count, and the chambers divided for debate. Bush won anyway.
If you thought Barack Obama's clear rout over John McCain meant we'd be spared a third Electoral
College melodrama—well, think again. This time, the argument is not
over votes. It's over Obama's citizenship. I thought this was an interesting article. And, oh
yeah... There will be a press conference at the National Press Club on Obama's citizenship on
Monday. Market Watch reported this yesterday.
Quote: Blue Velvet:
Any further threads on this topic solely supported by links to fringe wingnut bloggery, instead of
reputable media sources, will be closed down. Ok, so... I'm thinking this is Slate, so its fair
ground, although admittedly they've linked to fringe wingnut bloggery so is it a catch-22? :)
I feel a little sad that people are struggling with this whole thing. You could swap in McCain, and
there would be the EXACT same citizenship legal disputes, had he won. Unfortunately for McCain,
they would be much more founded, and would require congress to immediately pass standing amendments
on issues surrounding military families. I get my nose out of joint when people can't see when
things simply need to be dealt with. The Obama situation, however is absolutely contrived. I feel
sorry for his pternal grandmother in Kenya and all the people using clips of her being badgered or
misinterpreted as proof of something she's never said. I also appreciate that these fringe people
would assert that Obama was born in Kenya from these lame, mostly truncated conversations, and yet
have no verifiable evidence that Ann Dunham ever traveled to Kenya after marrying Obama Sr, and
before Obama Jr was born (during her second and third trimester).
President-elect Barack Obama hasn't put a dollar figure yet on his promise to create an economic
recovery package that he says will generate or save 2.5 million jobs over two years.img

Ok, I have a load of data in a table that I have to interpolate from, so I have turned it into a
graph in Numbers which has made the job a little easier, but how can I be even more accurate and
get Numbers to draw a curve between points so I can extrapolate?
Or, more likely, any good programmes out there I can download? I have just downloaded GraphSketcher
which allows me to draw curves manually but I would like something more accurate.
This is my data at the moment to give you an idea of what I am talking about :)
I would like it to be accurate so I can zoom in to get accurate readings.

After restoring it, it sits there at the multilingual emergency call screen. I just want this old
iPhone to basically be an ipod touch. Any way to get around this?
pMy buddy Scott wrote me recently to ask if I happened to know why the Together for the Gospel blog
has gone silent. I took a look at the blog and, sure enough, it has not been updated since April. I
snooped around some. As far as I can tell, the reason the blog has not been updated is this: the
four "friends" are no longer talking to one another. There is a bit of a spat going on that they've
been unable to resolve. I gave this scoop to Scott and thought I'd let you in on it, too. Here's
what I wrote him./p pYou probably knew this already, that after the Together for the Gospel
conference wrapped up, all of the speakers went back to Al Mohler's place to relax and play some
Dungeons amp; Dragons. They're all huge fans of the game and have been gaming together for years.
Dr. Mohler has a whole gaming setup in his library. It's pretty impressive, really. He's great at
painting up the DD miniatures and has an extensive collection of them./p pAnyways, a couple of
hours into a quest, when they were clearing out a dungeon, there was some kind of argument over
whether Dever's level 6 dwarf ranger had actually destroyed Mahaney's level 7 cleric. I guess Dever
happened across an enchanted Threnalian war blade that he thought would enable him to balance
Mahaney's Inflict Moderate Wounds spell, so he attacked. But, as it happened, he ended up losing.
He misunderstood the ratings of his gnashtooth chainmail, not realizing that it costs him -3 HP
against clerics (which is funny because that's pretty common knowledge). Dever came on strong and
inflicted a fair bit of damage with his new sword, but Mahaney kept casting regenerate spells to
fix it up. He also cast some spell (I never found out which) to counter the benefit of the dwarf's
surefoot boots. He actually ended up winning by a pretty good margin. This kind of swung the
balance of the game. How could it do otherwise, really?/p pMohler, playing a level 4 halfling bard,
turned on Duncan's elf rogue even though they had earlier decided to work together (and had even
completed the Caverns of Shaagh quest together, and you know how long a quest that is!). So
suddenly you've got Mohler's halfling ditching Duncan in favor of Mahaney. Piper was dungeon master
and ended up ruling in favor of Mahaney and Mohler! Well, you can imagine how well that went over.
Dever said something about "not as well as I deserve" and threw a handful of 20-sided dice at
Mahaney. C.J. told Dever to preach emthis/em to himself, and smacked him upside the head with the
rule book (The 4th Edition one from Wizards of the Coast, which, as I'm sure you know, is like a
six-pound hardcover). Mohler tossed a glass of water at Duncan and told him something about "now
you're baptized too" while Duncan rolled up his sleeves and yelled "Time to bring on the hurt!".
And things just went downhill from there. MacArthur and Anyabwile waded in and did their best to
break it up while Sproul sat back and watched the show, a single tear falling slowly from his
eye./p pSo pretty well the guys avoid each other now. The T4G blog has gone silent, as has their
World of Warcraft clan and the fantasy football league. I'm hoping they can work things out. T4G
2010 just won't be the same if they won't talk to one another./p pThat's how I see it. I guess I
could have gotten confused in some of the details, though./pbr /strongSponsor:/strongbr /a
