The title of this post do not lead to error, my remarks today does not recognize the excellent film The artist but Russian Vlad Gerasimov. The name tells you perhaps nothing so I will enlighten you.

Vlad Gerasimov is a digital artist who in 1998 created a website for developers of the web. Soon the hobby has given way to the company and personally I'm a fan of wallpapers for their computer. I find them original, colorful, and I never get tired of seeing my screensavers scroll. Depending on time of year I choose a specific wallpaper for Valentine's Day , Halloween or Christmas . I sometimes change as the seasons or my mood. He who follows these lines reminds me of a haunted house and I like the mystery that emerges.

On vladstudio you can buy mouse pads, posters, t-shirts, greeting cards ... all in the same spirit original and creative. ... Read more

Online banking or traditional banking with office and storefront? That is the question. It is true that the choice is not necessarily obvious to a generation that has seen its first paid in cash directly from the hands of the boss.

I still remember those first wages handed me my boss at the time when I dared to open before him the famous envelope to check the contents. Then I placed my few notes, and the pay was so skinny, in my book savings . Then I opened my first bank account, got my first checkbook.

Finally came the credit card, thank you Mr. Moreno , who has since become my most faithful companion. In fact I do not pay by check next to nothing and takes me a book over a year. Thus following the development bank I asked myself the question whether to choose an online bank. So I tried to make the comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of both systems.

While it may be more reassuring to go to the bank branch, provided, however, to find competent people which is usually the case. But aside from that what earns you one? Most Internet users manage their operations and monitor their accounts from their micro-and I'm sure like me they are almost never set foot in their bank.

So I plunge and I opened an account at an online bank. Procedures for account opening any problems. The control of credit cards (and yes on a joint account we can get a free card each individual) and the checkbook was done without difficulty. All transactions are secured by a unique access code sent by SMS.

We are more likely to have abandoned our traditional camera to digital and suddenly we do not skimp on the number of shots. Unfortunately, for most, they are stored on the hard drive of our computer and we do not share with our loved ones as was done by browsing family albums.

This year, that once again I was racking my brains to find a Christmas gift idea for the grandmas, I thought about how seniors are tied to memories and enjoy looking at pictures of good times. So I thought why not give them one of these beautiful albums that you create and customize yourself online.

No sooner said than done. I went online, true to Apple on iPhoto and from my photo library I wrote some very nice albums. I chose the theme, layout and size of the photos, I added captions tender or funny. Everything is customizable, the choice of font and font size, the format of the book, the number of pages.

Achieving virtual album is very easy and as the order is not passed we can change it. A few clicks later, delighted with my "work", I placed my order.

For his sixtieth birthday, and yes time goes by, my darling wanted a gift but I do not facilitate the task because he had no idea to suggest me.

I dug the meninges and I had an enlightenment. Why not an Iphone , Apple's latest toy? A priori it is not a fan of computer science but is interested in news, sports, the weather and many more. He needed a high-performance equipment, nomadic seasons for our mobile home, but not intuitive and headaches. Eureka, the iPad met all these criteria!

I spend so quietly ordering a little excited and hoping not plant me in my choice. I talk to my son, told a geek who always knows his father, and he is stuck.

The big day arrives, we celebrate together as we all three were born on November 1. But the king of the feast is my half dozen that changes. We watch his reaction when he opens his pack and his smile says a lot about their satisfaction. Sure bet he is thrilled. Remains is to discover the intelligent features of the tablet.

Superbly carriage with her aluminum hull, the iPad is a beautiful object. Ultra slim, I envy her perfect line. It is lightweight and fits comfortably in hand. Once again Apple has taken up the challenge and pulled out a camera intuitive. Usage is disarming simplicity and performance to the task.

The number of downloadable applications is impressive and my husband at ease immediately began to make its market. A free application for the weather, to watch another BFM TV, yet another for breaking news in real time ... motor sport, games. So he who is "couch potato" has even forgotten his beloved TV. He spent his evenings on the touch screen of the Iphone.

Domino Orange

Since my key 3 billion underwritten to Auchan had dropped because of its incompatibility with the version of Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro I was looking for an alternative.

This is done with the domino in Orange that can connect up to 5 wireless microphones. Eureka! After installation a little laborious because the procedure was not designed for Mac I can finally surf freely. The funny thing is that the publicity in a loop in the Orange shop shows a nice guy installed in a meadow with a Macintosh lap. Explanations of pocket-sized manual installation (5 cm x 10 cm) held on 2 pages. Besides Vista and XP is no salvation for those who love the Apple brand . Finally I managed alone as a great and important thing is that it works.

The internet offers Orange mobile suit me quite well. As an Orange customer I will discharge to € 17 per month with a 24-month subscription for unlimited connection time on weekends, from Friday 20h to Monday 8 am and during school holidays all zones. Finally when I say unlimited, and that's all ambiguity, my connection will be suspended in excess of 2 GB of downloads per month. Me that I should be sufficient but it is time to clarify all these so-called unlimited offers that lead to some subscribers on exorbitant bills.

No it's not worth it to call Jacques Pradel to begin a search. My disappearance, involuntary, one week you need to Auchan.fr .

And yes I went on holiday with my confident Macbook pro under his arm and my key 3 G, having taken care beforehand to request reactivation of my contract internet Amobile connect with Auchan.

At first glance nothing more than simple phone call. I used this communication unsurcharged to reiterate a claim for the monthly payment too fine levied in October 2009 when I was in on time requested the suspension of my contract.

Damned! Damn phone platforms where one never falls on the same party. In short, information contradictory contradictory information, I had to face facts, the so-called goodwill gesture to give me a month's free connection to offset the overpayment has not been implemented. So no internet for writing on the lens.

I who had praised supply Auchan, unlimited connection time with no time commitment for 29 € 90 per month, I admit it's a bit cold shower. A Téléconseiller called in January to extend the validity of three months of my smart card had said that it was not necessary, that it was active until May 2010.

Another tells me not to be the key to be inactive for more than three months. Who to believe? The supervisor tells me very confident that he is personally in charge of my case and my connection will be restored very quickly. The friendly staff of the department store's high-tech Auchan St Nazaire trying to intercede on my behalf?

Communicating Nabaztag Rabbit

Communicating the rabbit Nabaztag came out of his burrow to the delight of geeks. His name means nothing to you? This adorable bunny connected to a single outlet connects to the Internet through its function Fi.

And what's the point? Though highly decorative, for me, it will make you multiple services. More than just a gadget, it connects to your favorite Web sites and gives you aloud the information that interests you: election results, weather , news ... You read the emails of your friends in more than thirty languages ​​( OK if you're like me all your friends speak French), does it loud!

MP 3 player, he sings your favorite music and dance too. Feeding on the Internet, it never ceases to develop new features. It obeys your orders. Say Europe 1 and connects to your favorite radio station.

Turn on to your bed and you wake up you whispering "standing it's time to get up." It invites you to spend at the table "it is noon, it's time to eat" ... etc, etc ...

Sustainable development has made a grand entrance in the company where I work and initial results are encouraging. Like any business that employs many people and uses a lot of micro computers , paper consumption was exponential.
Fad or collective awareness, after all no matter what the results are there and that's what matters to motivate the troops to continue the efforts.

Action plans have been initiated and carried by the corresponding development affectionately called by colleagues SD. On the consumption of paper first, they encouraged the limitation of printing and the use of the duplex feature too often forgotten. No question of throwing the paper, this material has found acclaim, but to make maximum use of using outdated documents as a draft. And end of life, the draft takes the path of the mills, requires confidentiality, and finally collected by the Maple Leaf . This association plays an important economic role in the region in Rennes with employees on permanent and fixed term contract, a social role through vocational rehabilitation and ecological role by providing waste collected for recycling in paper mills specialized in the area.

Water consumption was also in the viewfinder and dual flush flow are being installed. To save energy, simple measures such as self adhesive labels with the words "do not forget to turn off the light" affixed to each switch or larger as the replacement of boilers As with boilers less consumers or the windows with double glazing had a real impact.

Also in the sights, travel by car for meetings or other conferences. The current technology such as video conferences are maximized to limit them. Bicycles were purchased and made ​​available to employees free of charge. Read more ...

Having a laptop, even a Macbook pro , it is fine but it is not enough. Like any self-respecting surfer I want to stay connected wherever I am.

So after I invested in micro portable key 3 G mobile internet access. After studying the various offers on the market, I cast my eye on the store's Auchan which corresponded fully to my mode of operation.

I did not pay an astronomical sum monthly, all I needed to access this from early April to late October each year. However I would not be hindered in my use and I wanted unlimited access. Being connected to the Internet with an eye on the clock not to exceed the download time thank you.

For 29 € 90 per month, I have all that and no time commitment. Auchan liaise with the provider Bouygues . I, for one simple phone call to customer service, suspend my internet access and reactivate the same way.

By the time I write this, I'm comfortable on the terrace of my mobile home and I go without any difficulty to the server. The flow is very satisfactory except perhaps for video downloads.

To go on holiday my dear and tender was really spoiled by offering me a toy of my dreams, the new Macbook pro. I told you long ago, about my meeting with the Mac office I am equipped home. The micro addict that I am depressed during weekends and holidays away from his computer.

In front of my crestfallen my half could not resist and gave me my laptop so I can smile again. Always faithful to Apple , the Apple brand, I only had to place orders on the site for delivery within 48 hours time of my new equipment.

A true marvel. Its backlit screen, very handy when the lighting is dim, its aluminum shell, its battery offers a battery life of 7 hours of use, I like everything about him.

Its price, you € 1399 TTC seems a bit exaggerated? I assure you it's worth it because its performance over the years will not deteriorate as it does for most PCs. The quality of finishes has no equivalent in counterpart PC All professionals use Mac for a long time.

Still not convinced? And if I tell you that Mac is the best anti-virus , you who are forced to subscribe to a detector in an attempt to protect against viral infections, the nightmare of Internet users. It's been several years since I surf the web daily and unprotected and my microphone was never infected.
