India Daily posted an article regarding last week’s NASA findings about the Earth’s magnetotail. You can have a look at my last week article about this for more information.

Written by

I was trying to figure out today why most of the softwares we use everyday aren’t really customer oriented. I mean, I’m pretty sure 50% of the softwares you use do the job, but aren’t really that pleasant to use. So why it that? Well, the answer is quite simple: most software engineers don’t learn [...]

Alien bible found…and translated

Written by

I came across an interesting article located here: Alien Bible Translated. Once again, total nonsense at its best. Fortunately, it comes from a “fake” news website. I find it reassuring as it looks totally fake and that’s the purpose of the website. The real danger is that I realized people are actually believing this, without [...]

Google: Don’t be Evil…For now.

Written by

I’ve been saying it for the past year and I think this year is the year Google will start its first Evil year. The point is that Google’s shares are now crashing.

The day only computers will understand CAPTCHA

Written by

It’s starting to get annoying and I’m talking about CAPTCHA. What is CAPTCHA?

I’m really sick of all that CAPTCHA thing as I think it’s really ruining [...]

Written by

Microsoft has just made an offer to buy Yahoo in a effort to intensify its presence on the internet already dominated by Google. It’s kind of funny that such an offer is made a couple of days after I wrote my article Why Google succeed where Microsoft fails. Microsoft is offering $31 a share for [...]
