Les frères Grimm, avec leur recueil de contes, offrent au théâtre une mine inépuisable de spectacles ”pour les enfants et les gens intelligents”, selon Olivier Py. Le directeur de l’Odéon, qui reprendra deux adaptations unanimement saluées comme des classiques du genre, a choisi à cette occasion de leur en adjoindre une troisème.

Une sortie familiale à ne pas manquer pendant les fêtes : l'Odéon vous ouvre toutes grandes ses portes. Et cela, y compris le 25 décembre, le 1er janvier, et pendant toute la période des vacances !

"Lorsque les hommes de théâtre à l'humour léger, au talent aigu, des gens comme Olivier Py adaptent les contes de Grimm, on peut être certain que la doucereuse perversité des frères germaniques ne sera pas absente et que les parents y prendront autant de plaisir que les enfants." Le Monde

So, Yahoos, we'd be grateful for your input./p pHere's what we do know: Fixing Microsoft's Internet business is going to require one hell of a talent. Not because there aren't worthwhile assets there, and not because Microsoft lacks resources or conviction. Just because Microsoft has had 13 years to get its Internet act together, and it has failed to do it, and we just don't see what is likely to change now. We also know that this is not even remotely about "technology./p pSpecifically, Dr. Lu is going to have to deal with the following:/p ul listrongMission./strong Microsoft has about a dozen different Internet businesses: search, display, ad network, portal, email, online apps, messaging, etc. It needs to have emone/em. This is going to require a major structural re-org--all accomplished without offending the REAL power bases at Microsoft, the Windows and Office guys (see below.) It's also going to require a brutal evaluation of where Microsoft can compete and where it can't and why./li listrongBranding. /strong "Microsoft's Internet business" just isn't going to cut it. Neither is the grab-bag of brands Microsoft has collected over the years, the existence of each of which appears to be an attempt to come up with something cool without offending one or another of the many other constituencies and brands within the Microsoft empire. Microsoft's Internet business needs ONE BRAND. Now. /li listrongPolitics. /strong At Microsoft, the Internet business will always play third banana to Windows and Office (and Steve Ballmer would be an idiot to run the company any other way). We assume that means that every time Dr. Lu does something that might annoy or threaten the Windows or Office guys, he's going to have to get permission first. That is REALLY annoying. And it's going to take a special kind of individual who can build a real business out of all these parts without being driven mad in the process./li listrongProfits/strong. After 13 years of online striving, Microsoft's Internet business is still burning billions of dollars a year. Even clobbered AOL is making money. If Microsoft's Internet business is ever to be a real business, Microsoft has to fix this. That's going to be no easy task./li /ul pSo is the good Doctor a Superman? We hope so.

Microsoft announced the hire of former ten-year Yahoo exec Dr. Qi Lu today as President of their Online Services Group. He’ll report directly to CEO Steve Ballmer.

Here’s the email Ballmer sent to all Microsoft staff forty minutes ago:

From: Steve Ballmer
Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 1:39 PM
To: Microsoft - All Employees (QBDG)
Subject: New Leader of Online Services Group

Search, advertising and online services are critical to Microsoft’s long-term strategy. To succeed, we need the right talent. Today, I’m pleased to announce that Qi Lu will join Microsoft as president of our Online Services Group. Qi will oversee all efforts in search, our online advertising platform, and all of our online information and communications services. Qi will join Microsoft on Jan. 5 and report to me.

Qi is one of the most respected technical minds in the industry. He comes to Microsoft after 10 years at Yahoo, where he most recently served as executive vice president of engineering for all of Yahoo’s search and advertising development efforts. Before joining Yahoo, Qi was a researcher at IBM’s Almaden Research Center. He has a doctorate in computer science from Carnegie Mellon, and he holds 20 U.S. patents.

Qi’s combination of deep technical expertise, proven leadership capability and broad business knowledge is rare in our industry. There is no one better qualified to guide our work to reinvent search and online advertising.

While I’m excited that Qi is joining Microsoft, I’m sorry to share the news that Brian McAndrews has decided to transition out of the company. Brian came to us with the acquisition of aQuantive in 2007. Since then, he has helped build a world-class business in online advertising that provides a solid foundation for future growth. I have great respect for the important contributions Brian has made to Microsoft, and I wish him the very best in the future.

On Monday at 4 p.m. Pacific Time, Qi will join me at Café RedWest for an Employee Town Hall. I encourage you to attend or to watch the webcast. If you have questions for Qi or me, please send them in advance to and we’ll try to answer as many as possible.

Steve

pThe only thing a href="http://www.lilyallenmusic.com/" target="_blank"strongLily Allen/strong/a has to fear isn't "The Fear", judging by the video for this song from forthcoming LP a href="/article/news/146946-lily-allen-announces-new-album" target="_blank"strongemIt's Not Me, It's You/em/strong/a; it's MOR. Apparently it really emwas/em us, not her, all along: If detractors of Allen's debut LP a href="/article/record_review/37420-lily-allen-alright-still"emstrongAlright, Still/strong/em/a were supposedly put off by the colloquial wisdom of a shit-talking independent woman, there's a bit less of that here ("fucking fantastic" aside), and a lot more soothing Dido-ish hooks ready for your next Bed, Bath, and Beyond shopping experience. "I am a weapon of massive consumption," Allen quips, her talent for wordplay intact if a bit behind. Nor does the video spare any expense, showing Allen in a Veruca Salt-like (the Roald Dahl character, sadly, not the band) wonderland of butlers, balloons, and presents. Daddy Warbucks had Annie, and we've got Lily. Too bad we're broke.

br /What it doesbr /br /A visit to this resource will certainly not go amiss for crafters of every denomination. Broadly speaking, Craft Juice can be defined as a social site where said individuals can submit their creations for other members of the online community to comment upon and rate. br brIn this sense, the site could be compared to a sort of launching pad where talent comes to the fore and has a chance of being spotted right away. br brOnce uploaded, crafts themselves can be sorted in a plethora of ways. For instance, it is possible to see the ones that were submitted within a specific timeframe, as well as the ones that are attracting the most attention among site users and see what the fuss is all about. br brThe site also holds competitions as a way of fostering user interaction and spicing up interest. For instance, the most recent competition is a Xmas one, in keeping with the festive season.

pThis little chunk of jittery goodness has been out for a minute, showcasing the talents and playfulness of twenty-something wunderkind Hudson Mohawke. The pretty little track jerks along while pleasantly balancing techno, electro, hip-hop and, dare it be said, IDM. While Hud Mo declares it "emotronic", it's also part of a whole school of tunes that Pitchfork's own Martin Clark has adeptly labelled "wonky". The name does capture the feel of "Velvet Peel" as well of the work of some of Hud Mo's compadres: fellow Glaswegian a href="http://www.myspace.com/rustiebeetz" target="_blank"strongRustie/strong/a, Montreal's a href="http://www.myspace.com/megasoidkult" target="_blank"strongMegasoid/strong/a and San Fran's a href="http://www.myspace.com/lazersword" target="_blank"strongLazer Sword/strong/a, among others.

Secret gay party outed in Mongolia: "On November 15, an intentionally hidden and exclusive party was held at Amazon Club, in Bayazurkh Palace. Gay men, lesbian women, bisexual and transgender individuals (LGBT), and friends of these minorities, congregated to socialize with one another and to celebrate their sexual identities. The main festivity was the annual 'Mr. Beauty' contest. With a pool of eleven male-to-female cross-dressers, judges determined who made the most beautiful woman through a sequence of swimsuit, gown, and talent competitions...The party’s secret location (which changes each month and is not released until a few days before the event) and the strict security guards, were not enough to maintain LGBT privacy in the insular capital. One week after ‘Mr. Beauty’, a post on a Mongolian website revealed the existence of the party, and disclosed names of attendees. Few positive, and many negative comments were posted in response."
