Cherry est un nouvel opérateur GSM / Wi-Fi : lorsque votre GSM, compatible Wi-Fi, capte un hotspot Wi-Fi, celui-ci "bascule" automatiquement du réseau GSM vers le Wi-Fi. Vos appels mobiles vous parviennent via le Wi-Fi, et vous passez vos appels via le Wi-Fi, pour moins cher ! Vous vous éloignez du routeur Wi-Fi ? Pas de problème : votre GSM "switche" automatiquement vers le réseau GSM, qui prend alors le relais, sans essuyer de coupure ! Plus de frais de roaming : à l’étranger, vous êtes en Belgique lorsque vous êtes en Wi-Fi, même pour recevoir vos appels ! Les GSM compatibles sont actuellement les Nokia des séries E et N, ainsi que les HTC équipés du Wi-Fi. L’iPhone devrait suivre dans les prochains mois, ainsi que les Android.

These are currently being implemented across browsers and with Modernizr you can start using them right now, with an easy way to control the fallbacks for browsers that don’t yet support them.

WHEN Otto von Bismarck introduced the first pension for workers over 70 in 1889, the life expectancy of a Prussian was 45. In 1908, when Lloyd George bullied through a payment of five shillings a week for poor men who had reached 70, Britons, especially poor ones, were lucky to survive much past 50. By 1935, when America set up its Social Security system, the official pension age was 65—three years beyond the lifespan of the typical American. State-sponsored retirement was designed to be a brief sunset to life, for a few hardy souls.

The Google homepage and search results pages don’t end their <body> and <html> elements. They just leave them open– a lot like a lazy developer might do and then feel guilty when he comes back and sees the mistake.
Only this “mistake” is really part of Google’s strategy of treating their performance as a competitive advantage. All browsers work well without the tags and the tags take up time, so they’re excited to eliminate any millisecond they can for their visitors.

Low noise, no emissions, no fuel, extremely low maintenance and best of all. . . . . it’s environmentally friendly.Electric flight, once seen as futuristic, has arrived and with E430’s flight times of between 1.5 and 3 hours (depending on configuration) electric flight now becomes a realistic power source for sport aviation. Charging times of 3 hours for as little as $5 make electric a really low cost way to fly and with only 2 main moving parts in the motor (the bearings) the reliability and maintenance are like nothing seen before.

All three apps are also, like their hardware counterparts, programmable.

# Store (and safe-keep) your project in a repository on a remote server. Never worry about making local backups. Each time you commit changes to the repository, you are making a remote backup.
# Allow multiple users to collaborate on the same code base at the same time. Collaboration from any number of users, from any machine, at any time.
# Keep track of all changes made to a project over time. Subversion allows you to jump back in time and access any and all previous versions of a project. No more duplicating files as backups just in case you break something. -
Yet, only a small fraction of streets have dedicated bike lanes, and with an installation cost of $5,000 to $50,000 per mile, we shouldn’t expect to find them everywhere anytime soon. Instead of adapting cycling to established bike lanes, the bike lane should adapt to the cyclists. This is the idea behind the LightLane. Our system projects a crisply defined virtual bike lane onto pavement, using a laser, providing the driver with a familiar boundary to avoid. With a wider margin of safety, bikers will regain their confidence to ride at night, making the bike a more viable commuting alternative.
