Rachida Dati s’est déclarée favorable aux mesures proposées par la commission chargée de réviser l’ordonnance de 45, relative à la justice des mineurs, et notamment à l’idée de ramener à 12 ans l’âge auquel pourront être appliquées des sanctions pénales, dont éventuellement une mise en détention dans le cas d’un crime.

L’Affaire des affaires sera un des albums incontournables de janvier 2009. Et pour cause, tout ce qui parle de près ou loin l’Affaire Clearstream est décortiqué par la presse, la classe politique sans oublier les adeptes du “tous pourris”. Surtout que cette adaptation en bande dessinée de la vie du journaliste d’investigation Denis Robert est chapeautée directement par l’intéressé, aidé au scénario par Yan Lindingre.

Les éditions Dargaud viennent de mettre en ligne les 6 premières pages du premier volet qui en comptera 200, dessinées par Laurent Astier, auteur d’Aven et Cellule Poison. On y découvre un Jacques Chirac à 200 à l’heure – ça nous change – et des personnalités clefs de l’affaire Clearstream comme un Dominique de Villepin taillé au couteau ou un Nicolas Sarkozy surexcité – là, ça change pas. À en croire ces premières pages et la fameuse phrase du “croc de boucher” lancée par le ministre de l’Intérieur d’alors, le scénario risque d’être ponctué d’anecdotes, en plus d’un aspect pédagogique mis en avant par l’éditeur. Les auteurs devraient ainsi s’étendre sur les arcanes des banques offshores ou des paradis fiscaux.

Avec son côté thriller politique, L’Affaire des affaires devrait autant séduire les amateurs de polar que les passionnés de BD reportage. À moins que ce ne soit les fans de Jean-Jacques Beineix, persuadés d’y voir là une suite à la mémorable Affaire du siècle.

When you’re an itty-bitty company and your first big customer win is CBS, you turn a few heads. And so it is with iWidgets, which makes video applications that are customized for the likes of MySpace, Facebook, iGoogle and other social networks. Now that they’ve landed CBS, they’re working to bring on more TV broadcasters, as well as online video producers, as clients.

Syndicating your content or web site to social networks generally requires either hiring a developer who knows the inner workings of writing code for each site, or going with a one-size-fits-all widget provider. San Francisco-based iWidgets simplifies the process with a drag-and-drop web interface that spits out custom widgets.

CEO Peter Yared’s pitch goes something like this: Traffic to destination sites across the Internet is tracking downward. Everybody’s spending their time on social networks instead. If you’re in the content business, you need to deliver your stuff to where the people already are. So CSI, for example, has nearly 450,000 fans on its Facebook page, where an iWidgets app of top clips is front and center.

We’ve long been bullish on tying together communities and content, to the point of integrating characters, fans and storylines. But that’s a bit too ambitious and fuzzy for Yared, who said he’s focused on where the money is flowing today. iWidgets is set up in such a way that it can take a piece of lucrative video CPMs as an affiliate. In Yared’s opinion, video is the most monetizable aspect of social networks because users hate banner ads, whereas they’re used to dealing with an in-stream video ad, no matter what the environment. Indeed, CBS uses thePlatform to manage its video advertising, and iWidgets — at least according to its published rates — takes 15 percent of that ad revenue.

iWidgets just started offering a self-serve version of its platform, though it doesn’t allow integration with outside video advertising, so users won’t be able to make money from it.

Yared said iWidgets’ advantage over its main competition, Sprout Builder, is that its applications aren’t in Flash, making them more flexible; and over competitors like Clearspring, that iWidgets’ applications are customized for each social network rather than one-size-fits all. iWidgets is tightly entrenched in each social network; for example, it plans to offer its customers easy integration with Facebook’s new paid program for placing application items in users’ newsfeeds.

iWidgets has already raised a seed round of more than $1 million from Opus Capital, and is working on closing a Series A round that’s so far been held up by this fall’s market downturn, according to Yared.

Yared told us that the day his company launched with CBS (which didn’t go entirely smoothly, as there was some conflict over whether little iWidgets would receive full episodes or just clips), he received calls from nearly every other network. So his seven-employee startup, which to date has really been more focused on refining its nifty widget creator technology than cutting deals, has a lot to get done — including hopping on many flights to Los Angeles.

"When is a helicopter like a Patsy Cline song? When it falls to pieces." That's the darkly comedic subhed in a new Air Space Magazine about ground resonance, a condition when a sitting helicopter's rotors become imbalanced while spinning. If the frequency of the now-vibrating rotor is close to the body of the chopper's normal vibration frequency, the oscillations increase. In seconds, the whole helicopter can just fall apart. (Ground resonance tore the helicopter above apart in just four seconds.) From Air Space: “I was standing right next to it,” says Frank Robinson, founder of the world’s leading helicopter company, describing a close call he had during a 1961 test of a gyroplane. “I had to grab hold of it and hang on and ride the damn thing down. You don’t want to be standing out there when it starts to jump around — it can jump on you. And there’s not a good way to get out of it. Just cut everything, hang on and hope..." The destruction is wrought by the considerable energy stored in the rotor blades. The shaking rapidly grows in violence, exceeding the strength of the mast, transmission mounts, and landing gear. The cyclic control in the cockpit flails about so violently that the pilot cannot hold it, the rotor blades strike the tail boom or the cockpit, parts begin falling off, and moments later the helicopter may be a heap of scrap.

pThis is certainly a test that you would rather have done on a phone that is not yours. This BlackBerry storm user shows us how confident he is that his BlackBerry storm will resist various scratch sources, including keys... but also a Benchmade tanto knife (it's really pointy and made of ATS-34, a super-hard steel). The Storm's display holds and there's no apparent scratches in the video. This doesn't mean that your BlackBerry will protect you from bullets - merely that it's not as easily scratched as one might think.

pI am a bit of a statistics junkie. I could spend months reading my blogs Google Analytics or Wordpress.com Stats (even though I dont get too many hits, I#8217;d still spend ages reading them). A couple of weeks ago I was idling in #ubuntu-uk, watching a conversation about someone on a dodgy broadband connection, with a really low monthly cap. Someone suggested he used #8220;vnstat#8221; to check up on how much bandwidth he was using. So, with nothing else to do, I though I#8217;d check it out too. And wow its awesome.
