Since the launch of Google.com by HTTPS (SSL), everyone asks:

"When will the. Fr? "

Answer: no need to wait, Google.com supports localization, ie the detection of the language. Thus it is possible to use. Com in the same way as. Fr.

But then you tell me now that I did https://www.google.com my home page, how do I configure Chrome so that it encrypts my research using HTTPS of Google?

Nothing complicated:

• Click the key at the top right of your browser, select Option s.
• Then in the Basics tab in the Default Search section, click Manage.
• Click Add in the window that appears.
• Here, enter the following information:

Nom: Google SSL
Mot clé: google.com
URL: https://www.google.com/search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&q=%s

• Click Ok.
• Google in the list select SSL and click Make Default.
• Finally close the two windows options.

All right, type a search in the address bar, you will see that it turns yellow and the prefix of the address is https://. Also note that the Google logo now has an SSL padlock.

A few days ago sprung a trial version of Internet Explorer 9. It is not, in fact, a beta version per se, but rather a platform for implementing the new engine of IE9.

Thus, no interfaces, no navigation bar, but just needed to display several pages.

I have once again made ​​a little screencast to discover all that ... but unfortunately, once again silent (I have some problems with the sound at the moment).

As you can see, I do not get the same results as tests for Microsoft, except for the CSS3. This can be explained in two ways:

1. I do not work on the same machine (CPU, memory, ...)
2. I am testing on Windows 7 Pro configuration, without special configuration that could improve the scores.

Therefore, one can not draw real conclusions about the (good) announced performances ... but, I notice that there is some work!

This is the service offered Cemessagesautodetruira.com directly inspired by the no less famous Mission Impossible.

The principle is simple. Enter a message on the site that delivers a unique address for the message. But beware, it can be accessed only once, because the address will become invalid once the message displayed.

It gives me ideas for launching small games of the type first come, first served!

As usual (3 times already), I suggest you download a preview (almost) the final ISO of this new version of Ubuntu (9.10): Karmic Koala.

As you probably know, the day of its release, Ubuntu final release is spread on the servers, which are immediately attacked, making it difficult to download.

The solution home? Go to the side of low demand servers, and updated quickly or find links torrents.

So download it here:

• NL Server (Available!)
• Via bittorrent

Here's what you give your mouth water, if you are the happy owner of a GPhone: Google Maps Navigation.

This is no more, no less, to integrate a real GPS (and Street View) to Google Maps, already available on Android. The only limitation is that you embark only the map of the planned route. If you waive any and you're in an area not covered by 3G, then this application you will not be of any use.

All this is the program's highly anticipated Android Eclair (2.0).

Today I start a small presentation of QR Codes, for the simple reason that I want to use for the presentation of some applications, particularly those for Android.

These codes are the successors of our old bar code, but in 2D! They can store 7,089 numeric characters, 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 2953 bytes ( Wikipedia ).

This code was born in Japan, where he knows a huge success thanks to the growth of mobile phones. Indeed, they are now all (or almost) with a camera that can read these codes, by installing a small application.

The QR codes thus allow coding of visual information. They contain URLs, text, phone numbers, ...

They are found everywhere, including in some magazines.

Unfortunately, in France, these codes are not the standard of telephone operators who preferred to create their own technology, flashcodes . As you are all French, so I prefer to use the standard most popular.

Now let's talk applications. If you are in France (or come see us), two possibilities. Either you are an application reading the QR codes flashcodes AND (rare) or you can install both applications. For others, only one application is necessary.

To do this, Google is your friend ... but I'm cool, I offer two Android:

1. ixmation Code Scanner (QR Code, Datamatrix, Barcode)
   
2. mobiletag (flashcode)
   

You will need to search the Android Market to install these two applications. Then you will not have to search for all applications that I will, since the associated QR code, a link leads you directly to the application in the maket.

Once ixmation Code Scanner will be installed, so the test on the header of this article ;-)
