L'iPad, 10 jours après...
Ben voilà, ça fait 10 jours que j’ai l’iPad. Qu’en dire, une fois l’excitation du début passée? Plein de choses. Pour ne pas (trop) polluer les feeds sur Facebook, Twitter, etc. je mets un break ici — la suite ci-dessous. Tout ceci n’est bien sûr que subjectif: je ne fais que recenser ici mes opinions, en espérant qu’elles puissent vous aider si vous...

Rant: You said it, Steve...
You just said it (again) at D8, Mr. Jobs: I think people are willing to pay for content. I believed it in music, I believe it in media and I believe it in news content. So here’s my question: where is all the damn content that we’re so eager to pay for? It’s okay for Apple to make everything available in the US - it’s your home, after all.

La solution, enfouie quelque part dans les tréfonds des fora de support d’Apple, est simple: Jeter iTunes (dans le dossier Applications) à la...

If this happens to you, the fix I finally found buried deep inside one of the Apple support fora is quite simple: 1. Drag your iTunes application to the Trash. 2. Empty Trash 3.
