Hello, I'm Guillaume, a French IT Journalist and this is my lifestream where I capture about anything I find interesting on the web
A nice analysis which is still missing a point: the Bing Maps brand will be eclipsed by Nokia Maps. The real winner might actually be more Nokia than Microsoft.
From PC World :
One of the many areas where Google is far ahead of Microsoft is mapping, with Google Maps by far the dominant map service on the Internet. Microsoft is employing an under-the-radar approach to fighting back, lending big support and big dollars to the open source map project OpenStreetMap. It looks as if the tactic is starting to pay off.
Google is about to revive Friend Connect with a Google+ integration. From what I understand I’ll be able to actually embed this over here. Can’t wait to try out :)
From the Next Web

From tympanus.net:
Today we’ll show you how to create a content navigator with CSS only. The idea is to have several slides or content layers that we’ll show or hide using the :target pseudo-class. With CSS transitions we can make the slides appear in a fancy way. We’ll also make the whole thing responsive.
They say it’s the city of Love. Well, it’s not. At least not when you actually live in it. Sure Paris is beautiful but it’s over crowded with too many people, too many polluting cars. It’s noisy and way too big for the average human being. I’m moving.
I’m on holidays and as most of the time on holidays, I’m geeking with my Tumblr template :) This one was actually developed some times ago but not really adopted over here.
A pretty cool promotional video from RIM showing several use cases for the PlayBook with OS 2.0. I have to say this tablet really rocks and the 7-inch form factor is actually very convenient.
