★ Adding Disqus on Streamlog.net

I’m currently playing trying ou the integration of the Disqus commenting system in this Tumblr. I really liked Google Friend Connect but they decided to kill that product… Too bad. 

You should see a commenting form on the permalink pages. This form should be tweaked over time for a better integration.

★ Presenting the Journal Theme

Today I would like to introduce a new theme that I have been working on those past few days : Journal.

theme journal

Thought you’d already seen the most pathertic video on the web ? Think again. Those fanboys are probably trying to raise up the already crashing Facebook shares… only few days after the stupid network invaded NASDAQ

∞ The page flip effect for HTML5

Gotta play around with turn.js at some point. Looks fun

Ooops there is an eagle on my head !!!

∞ Yahoo confirms misleading info on new CEO's resume

Wondering what the recently fired 2000 employees think about this now…

From AP

A disgruntled Yahoo shareholder questioned the qualifications and integrity of recently hired CEO Scott Thompson after exposing a misrepresentation about the executive’s education.

The fabrication confirmed Thursday by Yahoo Inc. gives New York hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb more artillery as he tries to topple a board of directors favored by Thompson, who became CEO of the troubled Internet company four months ago.

∞ The first murder took place 5300 years ago

From CBSNews:

The oldest red blood cells ever identified have been found in the body of Otzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy found in the Alps in 1991. The bloody find is a first for Otzi’s mummy, which has been under scientific scrutiny since a pair of hikers stumbled over the body frozen in ice on the Austrian-Italian border. And the new research, published today (May 1) in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, helps confirm the story of Otzi’s death.

∞ Ultimate cloud sync storage face-off

Possibly the best comparison ever done. Kuddos to…

…The Verge

We’ll take a look at the top apps that let you sync files between all of your devices automatically, share files using password protection, pick which folders you want to sync, and do anything else you might want to do with a syncing app. While our evaluations of each app aren’t full-on reviews, they are encapsulations of where each app excels and what makes each unique.

On a side note, Google Drive turned out to be quite lame…

★ Take that, Dropbox!

Let me copy here the last message I posted in Dropbox’s forum : 

So it had become obvious that just like Apple, Microsoft probably tried to buy Dropbox.

And just as they turned down Apple Dropbox probably refused to sell.

So Microsoft cloned it and they did it quite well.

For years people have been waiting for cheaper storage plans and quite amazingly, nothing has shown up.

And it’s not like Dropbox has to pay a full farm of servers. We’re talking about Amazon super cheap storage plans….

But still nothing showed up.

So Microsoft understood it and they did it quite well.

Oh and, 100 GB + 25 GB for $50/year, that’s 4 times cheaper than 100 GB + up to 16 GB with full referrals at $199/year.

Sorry for the rant but it looks like Dropbox missed it… and as we all know, not all players have shown their cards yet…

Dropbox certainly is smart and cool but it seems to me they’ve become way too proud.

∞ SkyDrive is getting pretty cool with sync features

So few hours ago, the SkyDrive team has announced new features and most notably a client which will allows you to sync your files on your Windows or Mac machines. 

Yes it’s like Dropbox, but with more storage and cheaper plans. Obviously, just like Apple, Microsoft probably tried to buy Dropbox and upon denial, decided to created a clone app. And it works great so far.

Now let’s see what Google has in store for their GDrive :)
