The mystery of the Mona Lisa smile gradually unveiled

The smile of the Mona Lisa, the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, is now informed by new technologies. Researchers at the Laboratory Centre for Research and Restoration of Museums of France, located at the Musée du Louvre, have highlighted the technical innovations of the painter and inventor, Italian (1452-1519). They are particularly interested in portraits attributed to Leonardo da Vinci can be admired at the Louvre in Paris.

Firefox for iPhone & iPad: centralized management of my urls between PCs and iPhone / iPad Firefox Weave


The first iPhone application called the Mozilla Firefox Home "has just been approved by Apple while war still rages on the forehead browsers between Apple's Safari browser and Mozilla Firefox.

This first application could not be a direct port of Firefox: it would have had the same fate as other applications rejected by Apple because (sometimes hidden ...) too direct competition with Apple application corresponding , by Apple's Mobile Safari originally installed on the iPhone. Opera Mini has already had bitter experience ! This is of course for the firm of Steve Jobs protect up the market for platform iad Apple derived from redemption of Quattro Wireless.

So Firefox - because it's still nice to him it is - getting on the Apple Appstore by a circuitous route: the ubiquitous access to their favorite URLs stored by the service Weave.

I mentioned Firefox Weave: it allows me to find in my Firefox 3 (professional laptop, laptop and desktop personal family) my Important Links usual 400 or stored as bookmarks synchronized and inter-machine through the servers by adding the Mozilla add-on suitable . Easy access to "information capital" since I missed my iPhone when I need to access quickly a page usually in a mobile situation.

The gap is filled in: I just installed Firefox Home from the App Store of Apple and I now have access to these 400 URLs classified as strictly identical to that of Firefox. The search function by keywords is also very useful to avoid shipping.



When it selects a hyperlink, it is loaded into the web browser component of the iPhone SDK also used by Safari: A true sign of goodwill on the part of Mozilla ... unless this is a sign of patience before returning to the load on Firefox itself in its mobile version when the voltage is a little fallout.

I also tested on the iPad: this also works the same way by the compatibility mode between iPhone and iPad.

By cons, large current fault: it is the iPhone compatibility mode: therefore, one must choose between two bad solutions: a clear view at 25% size Screen iPad or a crazy display to 100%. Mr

Mozilla must now push the job to the end and we make a native version iPad!

When it comes, it will reduce my skepticism over iPad allowing me to increase my passive consumption of web content. I do not like the keyboard-screen iPad: Ipad version, I can surf from my couch on my usual sites have almost no need to use it!

App for Android Inventor: after the UGC, UGA Google Launches!

At the beginning of Web 2.0, it was the UGC (User Generated Content ") this concept by which all our role has changed: we have mutated from passive consumers of digital pages published by traditional publishing producing assets in our own content to our destination peer .

Well, with the launch of Google App Inventor for Android, Google is proposing the same mutation users of mobile phones Android: they can become a developer.



one may speak of UGAs (User Generated Applications) by analogy to the UGC. This is not unlike the dream Permanent (marked for example by the Hypercard launched by Apple in 1987 ) to allow the user himself to satisfy his own needs in application without having to resort to those ugly Jojos computer scientists ....

the NYT article today is clearly in this sense: a system launched by Google originally laid in the school environment, applications written by non-computer (primary school students, nurse etc.).

So the Android mode DYI (Do It Yourself): see tutorials shown by Korben to be convinced.

is naturally in Google's strategy around Android diametrically opposed to that niche Apple : based on a maximum strength to make its platform dominates outrageously on the 4 "main tools" of our daily lives it will soon occupy.

The downside to this opening up: a call for applications to the foot of lesser quality to spam. The task of the Android Market will find it complicated to separate the wheat from the chaff ... unless it allows him to finally overwhelm the alternative Android Market ( listed here) that would run out of search technologies relevant , cleaning out spam, etc.. are at the heart of strategic business Google and its success in doing s. Inventor

App for Android is launched today: we'll have to wait a bit to see what he finally produced ....

The most fun would that do emerge in the firmament of the best applications for developments involving school "seedy" area pros.

There is nevertheless unlikely: applications to great success and high impact (Mapping, routing, research, augmented reality, etc..) Are those that involve large data infrastructures, processing "the cloud" where the mobile phone becomes an interface customization and enrichment these "big lifts" that, it remains - even today - beyond the reach of even discerning hobbyist developer time wasted.

But for how long?

Can You Keep A Platypus As A Pet?

Apprentices destroyers!

On 1 July, our former director was in his former office. Likely to welcome the new director. Use in good way or finish the job? Criminals always return to the scene of the crime! We wanted to trust Ms. Naffah. After five years, it is clear that the result is catastrophic, unmotivated staff, the service ... manhandled.
Nobody knows what you do and what our missions, and cherry on the cake, everyone takes care of us without contact us. At every official report, we propose to develop what already exists here. It explains the learnedly he must meet an art historian, the conservator and scientist around the work, sometimes we're fools for not having practiced for years. They seem to make great discoveries and we must follow in Cergy to see the miracle happen. Except that these are not miracles, but the methods developed by Daily agents and C2RMF LRMH. This misunderstanding of the role of LRMH of C2RMF and their concrete contribution to the knowledge of wealth proves that, despite their claims, some curators and senior officials of the ministry contrefichent much work we do.
In its engagement letter dated 21 June 2010, the Minister of Culture encourages the Director of the INP to develop doctoral programs and for curators restorers in cooperation with the Ministry of Higher Education. However, weakening the research within the C2RMF, the department denies the expertise in research training, that could bring C2RMF in the field of restoration and conservation.
Having tried to impose their approach to all stakeholders and the Department of the CNRS, the Museum Service and the administration of the Louvre are the responsibility of starting CNRS. They claim to have the support of policies, while trade-offs do not
are all rendered. The silence of policies is linked to ignorance of the file.
Is this irony than to observe that Mr. Loyrette itself as "the principal payer and designated pilot [of the site reserves]" in Liberation, three days after weeping misery in the world?
We know that will close the CNRS UMR 171 31 December 2011 and create a new unit of Heritage Research in Paris-VI. Led by a Philippe Walter never listened to by the leadership of the department nor the museum director of the Louvre, but with a considerable weight at the CNRS and the Ministry of Research, this new unit will soon overshadow at C2RMF, especially if it ends up cutting the Louvre in Cergy. They must admit that if no agent culture does go in Cergy, their project was stillborn. The CMC will have trouble convincing the CNRS to invest in the two parallel structures knowing that the current trend is to budget cuts. This situation can only be detrimental to the heritage research
and lead an unhealthy climate full of mistrust. Moreover, it appears that the project be delayed Cergy two years in these times of budgetary sacrifices. The result: a weakened C2RMF, a departure from the CNRS document to December 31, 2011, a loss of resources and specialists ... What a mess!
We must develop another strategy with the new direction. We have no choice. We're not out of the woods. The new director of C2RMF has not yet made his position but it participates, already, in the capacity, the working group of the CMC, the CNRS, and LRMH C2RMF not forget Mrs. Labourdette, Vice President University of Cergy, and of course the Louvre. This working group met again yesterday in discreetly.
The decision to move, imposed by the Director of Museums of France and Mr. Loyerette, was supported by the former director of C2RMF in serat it the same with the new director?
In the current climate, positioning clear and quick on his part is necessary. No sooner had his appointment, we requested a meeting at the DGP office, SMF, the Louvre to discuss the future of C2RMF in the presence of the new guideline. To prepare for this meeting, colleagues should tell us their feelings on key issues:

- What are our concrete contribution to policy research, restoration and conservation of heritage?
- What is our appreciation for the history of art and the general public?
- What are the benefits of the current location of C2RMF?
- What CNRS brings to our work and our expertise?
- And of course other issues specific to your business ...


To go further, this argument should lead to the creation of a manifesto that we will release that officers C2RMF present their visions and missions on their trades .
