iStillWantOne
It’s now official. Apple will ship the highly anticipated iPhone (a.k.a. the Jesus Phone) on June 29th in the US. Still no word for us Europeans. As I explained before, I’m not a gadget freak, I don’t really need one, but boy do I want one. The interface is just plain brilliant. You can catch…

Elections for Dummies (élections, piège à cons ?), Round Two
Following my previous installment on the elections, and especially following Wednesday’s debate, all the polls are showing a widening gap in favor of Sarkozy, who is poised to win by a large margin. His greatest accomplishment, is to somehow have managed to be seen as a candidate of change, even though he was the « number…
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
Rudolf Clausius defines the 2nd law this way: « The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium. » Basically, it means that in any system left to its own devices, order decreases over time.
