Talking today about XKCD and watching creator's work evolve - how it's akin to a writer producing a million words to refine voice. Also dealing with fragmented days, catching up wordcount, Sorcerous Moons being translated into French, and the delights of nail polish.

Plunking yourself into a bath fairly full with water makes the water level rise — and overflow. What about ships and the ocean?

Bienvenue dans cet épisode 13 , qui est en fait le 15ème maintenant (bah oui…).

Cette fois, nos trois comparses vont revenir sur Office pour iPad car il est enfin sorti. Ce sera l'occasion d'essayer de comprendre le modèle tarifaire de ce produit (mais vont-ils y arriver ?), de discuter de cette nouvelle tendance des logiciels à louer et de savoir s'ils sont conquis pas ce modèle et surtout par Office pour iPad.

Ensuite, ils essaieront d'expliquer avec des mots simples ce qu'implique la faille Heartbleed d'OpenSSL.

Ils feront un léger détour sur un sujet de l'épisode précédent pour parler des annonces de Pioneer et Alpine concernant CarPlay.

Puis ils parleront du dernier film qu'ils ont vu ensemble, Captain America, Le soldat de l'hiver. Ces trois fans de Marvel (enfin surtout deux) vous donneront leur avis sur le film, ce qu'il vaut en comparaison du premier opus. Vous verrez (enfin, vous entendrez surtout) qu'il y a un point qui les a choqués (enfin, surtout Guillaume) dans ce film. Et sans trop spoiler (ils préviennent quand c'est le cas) ils vous diront s'il faut ou non aller le voir.

Enfin, ils répondront à deux auditeurs en expliquant les mystères de la migration de machines et surtout du RAID et des différentes possibilités offertes par cette technologie.

À bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures !
