iPhone 5
Keynote d'Apple : pas d'iPhone 5 mais un iPhone 4S puissant et intelligent
Le nouvel iPhone 4S d'Apple, disponible en France le 14 octobre
La conférence de presse d'Apple du mardi 4 octobre a été marquée par l'annonce d'un nouveau smartphone, l'iPhone 4S (disponible le 14 octobre), plus puissant que son prédécesseur et doté d'un assistant vocal intelligent. Apple a également présenté sa nouvelle gamme d'iPod ainsi que la mise à jour de son système d'exploitation mobile iOS 5, disponibles le 12 octobre. La marque à la pomme n'a en revanche pas fait mention d'un quelconque iPhone 5, pourtant très attendu.
Les keynotes se suivent mais ne se ressemblent pas chez Apple. Outre l'absence du charismatique Steve Jobs, elle n'a exceptionnellement pas été retransmise en direct en streaming et s'est déroulée devant un faible parterre de journalistes.
C'est Tim Cook qui est monté sur scène pour lancer la keynote. Le nouveau PDG d'Apple a vanté les bons chiffres de ventes des MacBook, notamment aux Etats-Unis (+23% en un an), et de Lion (plus de 6 millions de téléchargements depuis sa sortie en juillet). Il a également expliqué qu'il s'était vendu 300 millions d'iPod en 10 ans (à comparer aux 220 millions de baladeurs vendus par Sony en 30 ans), dont 45 millions entre juillet 2010 et juin 2011. Enfin, l'iPhone représenterait à lui-seul 5% du marché des mobiles dans le monde et l'iPad 74% du marché des tablettes. Au total, 250 millions d'appareils sous iOS ont été vendus par Apple (iPhone, iPod, iPad).
C'est Scott Forstall, le vice-Président des logiciels iPhone d'Apple, qui a présenté iOS 5, fort de nombreuses innovations : ouverture d'un kiosque pour la presse, intégration de Twitter et d'un outil de synchronisation entre tous les appareils connectés à iOS. La mise à jour, gratuite, du système d'exploitation mobile d'Apple est prévue pour le 12 octobre.
De son côté, iCloud, la solution de stockage dématérialisée d'Apple, sera disponible également le 12 octobre avec, intégrée, l'application Find My Friends, un réseau social géolocalisé et gratuit. Le service sera gratuit pour 5Go de stockage, mais il en coûtera 100$ par an pour bénéficier de 50Go.
C'est ensuite Philip Schiller, le vice-Président marketing d'Apple, qui est monté sur scène pour dévoiler la nouvelle gamme d'iPod. L'iPod classique n'a pas été mentionné et sera sans doute bientôt abandonné. L'iPod touch, désormais disponible en blanc, intègrera la messagerie instantanée iMessage. Le nouvel iPod shuffle est disponible à 59€, l'iPod nano est vendu à partir de 139€ (8Go) et l'iPod touch est annoncé à partir de 199€ (16Go). Tous ces nouveaux iPod seront disponibles dès le 12 octobre.
Finalement, la grosse annonce de cette conférence, à défaut d'un iPhone 5, restera celle de l'iPhone 4S, annoncé comme étant deux fois plus rapide que l'iPhone 4 grâce à son nouveau processeur. Pour une meilleure réception des appels, l'iPhone 4S est doté de deux antennes. Son capteur photo de 8 mégapixels (résolution d'image de 3264 x 2448) permettra de filmer en full HD (1080p).
La grosse innovation de ce smartphone concerne l'intégration du service intelligent de reconnaissance vocale Siri, capable de répondre à des commandes vocales en langage naturel, qu'il s'agisse de lire ou d'écrire des SMS, de faire des recherches sur internet ou de savoir le temps qu'il fera dans une semaine.
L'iPhone 4S sera vendu aux Etats-Unis de 199$ (16Go) à 399$ (64Go), ces prix étant soumis à un abonnement chez un opérateur. Conséquence, l'iPhone 3GS devient gratuit et l'iPhone 4 8Go passe à 99$ (là-encore, avec un abonnement).
L'iPhone 4S sera en vente en France le 14 octobre et en précommande dès le vendredi 7 octobre, à un prix minimum, hors abonnement de 629€.
Tim Cook, décidément discret est ensuite venu clôturer cette keynote. Notez que durant toute la durée de l'événement, l'action Apple n'a eu de cesse de baisser...

AMERICAN REVOLUTION 2011
by Paul J. Reveal
YOU’VE HEARD THE PROBLEM FROM A MILLION
SOURCES ... SO, NOW HEAR THE SOLUTION.
People,
EXPECTING ANY POLITICIAN TO FIX OUR BROKEN GOVERNMENT IS AS NAIVE AND FOOLISH AS PUTTING A FOX IN CHARGE OF THE HEN HOUSE.
All of our LAW-MAKING politicians fall into one of three categories:
1. They are owned and controlled by the handful of multi-billionaires who pay for their campaigns, and to whom they are therefore indebted. (Why else would the wealthiest people contribute to ‘both’ parties in every big election? ) And so, our laws are not designed to protect We The People, but rather to give the wealthiest people perverse tax cuts, obscenely padded government contracts, and other unscrupulous ways to steal all our hard earned tax money - legally.
1. They are the wealthiest themselves, who want to keep it that way, while getting even more, because they can, by making laws that will steal from the poor and give even more to the rich.
1. The innocent idealists, those few with integrity and heart, who truly want to make things happen to benefit We The People, but can’t, because they don’t have the power. They are too few amongst too many of the other two categories, who have the power, but not integrity or heart. So, the good guys are told in no uncertain terms, by the bad guys, “You either play ball our way, and not make waves, or you are out - one way or another.”
I believe President Obama falls into this third category - we will soon find out.
SUMMARY: We now have a government which calls itself Democratic, giving US the illusion of control by having free elections. While, in fact, it is a government of the money, by the money and for the money - which has little concern about who the puppet in The White House is, Democrat or Republican; though, the Republican Party is the party that most of the mega-wealthy belong to.

Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?
The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.
People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?"
Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency.
Too many overreaching laws give the president too much discretion to make too many open-ended rules controlling too many aspects of our lives. There's no end to the harm an out-of-control president can do.
Bill Clinton lowered the culture, moral tone and strength of the nation — and left America vulnerable to attack. When it came, George W. Bush stood up for America, albeit sometimes clumsily.
Barack Obama, however, has pulled off the ultimate switcheroo: He's diminishing America from within — so far, successfully.
He may soon bankrupt us and replace our big merit-based capitalist economy with a small government-directed one of his own design.
He is undermining our constitutional traditions: The rule of law and our Anglo-Saxon concepts of private property hang in the balance. Obama may be the most "consequential" president ever.
The Wall Street Journal's steadfast Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that Barack Obama is "an alien in the White House."
His bullying and offenses against the economy and job creation are so outrageous that CEOs in the Business Roundtable finally mustered the courage to call him "anti-business." Veteran Democrat Sen. Max Baucus blurted out that Obama is engineering the biggest government-forced "redistribution of income" in history.
Fear and uncertainty stalk the land. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke says America's financial future is "unusually uncertain."
A Wall Street "fear gauge" based on predicted market volatility is flashing long-term panic. New data on the federal budget confirm that record-setting deficits in the $1.4 trillion range are now endemic.
Obama is building an imperium of public debt and crushing taxes, contrary to George Washington's wise farewell admonition: "cherish public credit ... use it as sparingly as possible ... avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt ... bear in mind, that towards the payment of debts there must be Revenue, that to have Revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised, which are not ... inconvenient and unpleasant ... ."
Opinion polls suggest that in the November mid-term elections, voters will replace the present Democratic majority in Congress with opposition Republicans — but that will not necessarily stop Obama.lundi 3 octobre 2011
