 La Pologne vue par les
yeux d’une enfant, c’est à la fois très singulier et universel. Parce
que tout le monde n’a pas passé son enfance dans un pays communiste, où le
quotidien des années 80 est fait de files d’attente et de rationnement pour la
viande, l’essence, le papier hygiénique, bref, pour tout. Mais parce que plus de
monde a fait des bêtises en bande, appuyant sur les boutons d’ascenseurs ou chahutant
les habitants d’un immeuble.
Ce quotidien, mis en image dans Marzi par Sylvain
Savoia, le compagnon de la scénariste Marzena Sowa profite
d’une réedition chez Dupuis sous forme de roman graphique tout à fait
indispensable. Parce qu’en plus d’une compilation de 250 pages à 25 euros, les
planches ont été redecoupées au format carré et les couleurs revues,
passant d’un ensemble plein de punch et de couleurs vives à quelque chose de moins
gai, fait de nuances de rouge et de gris.
Ce nouveau format, peut-être plus “roman graphique” pour ne pas dire adulte va
vivre une existence tout à fait autonome aux côtés de la série de 48
pages cartonnées. Un deuxième volume est attendu à l’automne prochain,
soit peu de temps après la sortie du cinquième tome de
Marzi.

OK, video game publishers, we know we said we weren't complaining about the torrent of new releases
last month, but
now, we totally are. Do you know how long this features takes to write now? Do you know how broke
we're going to be by month's end? (Answer key: Too long; very.)
Watch a visual representation of your wallet getting thinner right here.

The Superficial - Because You're Ugly -

Salma Hayek stopped by German TV show Wetten Dass over the weekend sporting a traditional
dirndl. There was nearly an international incident when her entire breast almost popped completely
out of her outfit. I'm not sure what U.N. protocol is, but I'm guessing Germany would've owed us a
peak at one of it's stars' nipples. On that note, anybody who wouldn't demand it be Heidi Klum is a
terrorist. (It needed to be said.) NOTE: Pics are LSFW due to
them being the closest you can get to a nipple slip without, sadly, being one. It's like getting
ready to have sex with a beautiful woman, and she only has half a vagina. We've all been there
before. Thanks to David who gets an "A" in foreign policy for the day. You should work in the White
House.

Circumcised? Need a foreskin? Have no fear, Viafin's synthetic turtleneck's got you covered: Being
circumcised affects the natural operation, appearance and sensitivity of the penis. During recent
years much medical research has been carried out in several countries into the function and purpose
of the foreskin. There is now conclusive medical evidence that a circumcised penis with the glans
exposed has less nerve receptors and is less effective than a naturally covered penis. Over the
years the exposed glans becomes less sensitive. There is well-documented evidence which shows that
this can, and often does, have a disastrous effect on sexual performance, its consequences, and
ultimately, on self esteem. The SenSlip range of artificial retractable foreskins is available in
different sizes, to allow for variation between individuals. With ten sizes we want you to be
fitted correctly right from the start. (See fitting chart) Welcome to Viafin-Atlas (Thanks,
Bill!)...

 The
reason everyone loves Guillermo del Toro can, I
think, be summed up in this new Hobbit related quote. "Believe me, I am jumping
up-and-down inside this fat body!"
Yes, del Toro teased us all with Hobbit
talk when he appeared at the Director's Guild of America recently and spilled all kinds of
information regarding Middle Earth and his adaptation of Frankenstein. ComingSoon has the whole delicious
thing, but I'll post my favorite bit -- his research into the mind of J.R.R. Tolkien: "I find you
have to discipline yourself to write in the morning, and then watch and read in the afternoons
stuff that seems relevant, even in a tangential way. For example, reading or watching World War I
documentaries or books that I think inform The Hobbit, strangely enough, because I believe
it is a book born out of Tolkien's generation's experience with World War I and the disappointment
of being in that field and seeing all those values kind of collapse. I think it's a turning point
that you need to familiarize yourself with."
And naturally, he sounds most excited about tackling Smaug. "Essentially, Smaug represents so many
things: greed, pride ... he's 'the Magnificent,' after all. The way his shadow is cast in the
narrative you cannot then show it and have it be one thing, he has to be the embodiment of all
those things. He's one of the few dragons that will have enormous scenes with lines. He has some of
the most beautiful dialogues in those scenes! The design, I'm pretty sure that will be the last
design we will sign off on, and the first design we have attempted. It is certainly a matter of
turning every stone before figuring out what he looks like, because what he looks like will tell
you what he is."

AMD's Fusion for Gaming tool is
finally out of beta, and ready for download. So what's it all about?
Well, for starters, it's no doubt intended to create a little buzz for a platform that has taken a
bit of a beating in the recent past.
Beyond that, Fusion is designed to boost performance by shutting down background processes and
applications automatically before you settle in for a gaming session. While most power users
already know how to do this using services.msc and other tools that ship with the OS, the average
user or lazy efficiency-minded geek will find Fusion a very handy way to get the job done.
There really aren't any other tools out there right now that offer Fusion's one-click
simplicity.
Overclocking features are built-in as well, though they'll only be available if you happen to be
running a pure AMD platform (Athlon CPU and ATI video card). If you do, Fusion will automatically
tweak your CPU and GPU to squeeze out a few extra ounces of gaming muscle.
Is it worth it? Try it yourself and see, you may get a few extras frames for your trouble. Read | Permalink | Email

 We've
been eagerly awaiting the upcoming introduction of the 2010 Ford Taurus since we first laid eyes on
the Mondeo-inspired clay mock-up that was
leaked across the Internets. Ford already announced that Ecoboost technology would power at least
one version of the 2010 model, and with a 350-hp twin-turbo V6 underhood, we're thinking it's
finally SHO time again. The scribes over at World Car Fans have supposedly heard
otherwise, though, at least when it comes to the name. Word from industry insiders has the
nomenclature as Taurus ST.
World Car Fans got more than a scoop on names; they got some pics of the sporty Taurus, as
well. It looks like Ford designers opened up the lower air dam to help feed the force-fed
powerplant. The next generation of the corporate grille is partly visible, too, and it appears as
though the bars got thinner and less cartoonish in execution. Headlights visible through the heavy
camo appear to be of the LED kind, and they look far more modern than the current Taurus' 1990's
design. Massive, MKS-like 20-inch rims help show this undercover Taurus has sporty pretenses, as
does the duel exhaust out back. Also evident from the spy pics is the fact that the bulbous
roofline from the current Taurus has been replaced with something far more shapely and
contemporary. We're still a few months from seeing the 2010 Taurus in the flesh, but it's good to
see that the high-performance version is well on its way.

I tried downloading a couple of different apps from the installer and found that they show up on
the springboard, but do not stay open long when you click on them. One in particular was the pocket
guitar. I am really interested to use this, but when I click on it, it just opens for a second and
then closes itself. Any tips on how to fix this??
