10 REASONS TO SWITCH TO SNAP ULTRASEARCH

The guys who created that Ultrasearch tool are pure genious. Rarely i have been so impressed with a search tool for a long time:

• Excellent multiple search integration and desktop search (files, emails,…)
• Easy access to Favorites, computer commands (programms in your computer)
• Scalable: changes sizes, placement in your desktop
• Totally customizable : add/remove search engine
• Great “search on other engines” feature
• Launch url easily with typing www.  and .com at the end
• Keep history and make it easily accessible
• Not intrusive and accessible very easily with hide/appear function
• The best “switch task” i have ever seen (integrated screen shots)
• Intuitive, simple, visual, light and fast

The only feature missing is the multiple search simultaneously on all search engine. Download it and try it! it s an order.

[update 22 juillet: snap just raised 10 million usd, congratulations! ]

PEPSICO WOULD BUY DANONE: CHIRAC STAY OUT OF THIS!

               

Rumours are being more and more reported than Danone Group would be acquired by Pepsico. We will know in the future if this is just a rumour. But what makes me crazy already is that the french government declares himself preoccupied by this potential operation and even wonders if they can prevent it. What the hell do they think they are doing? Danone is a privte company and is playing by the rules of the market. If someone wants to buy them respecting the rules and applications of the market (monopoly,…) why the french government should get involved in that? Why France should be an exception to what happens everyday? Let me guess ? Because we are better than these americans? Because France must stay French? Don t you understand that this could be a great opportunity for Danone and France?

I would like to remind a few simple facts to the french government:

LONDON VS PARIS : 1 - 0

France: How could a country that voted recently “no” to “Europe”, with a bad economy health, a bad fairplay (see polemics) and so many social, ethnical and communitarist conflicts could expect to win the Olympic games of 2012, of one the most transnational and multi-cultural events in the world? London, “the winner”, is a true model of melting pot, youth and economic dynamism. A source of inspiration for Paris, “the loser” 

NEW TYPEPAD, NEW PROBLEMS

The new version of Typepad 1.6 is great. But i was surprised that, after my blog was republished, all the pictures appearing, were left without borders. I wrote to Typepad that answer me within less than 24h (great service! really). But my problem remain. Sorry, please excuse this inconvenience, and let s hope that it will be solved soon.

Unlike multi protocal Instant Messengers like trillian, this works pretty well and if problems, fix are quickly uploaded. A few comments though:

• The interface is not very sexy and XP like.

• Gmail inconveniences: you receive alerts when you reply a message received (what s the use) and when you read a reply to message send through eprompter only your original message appear.
