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.

As usual (4 times already), I suggest you download a preview (almost) the final ISO of this new version of Ubuntu (10.04): Lucid Lynx.

This time, one last bug delayed the release and will report tomorrow surely the release of Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc..

(The Ubuntu installer does not detect the other OS (no additions to Grub), which could pose some problems for the uninitiated (multiboot). It must indeed be updated Grub ... the Internet is only possible if available)

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: (Available!)

• NL server
• Via bittorrent

(The problem seems solved for the CD alternates (x386 and AMD64) and for netbooks, but not for others.)

Today, I propose a visit in Kingston labs, the famous manufacturer of USB, which shows how we are made ​​USB keys.

Interestingly enough!

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).

October 22, 2009, we are!

Although I am no longer very active on this blog, I could not miss the event (information technology) in 2009, namely the output in the trade of Windows 7!

So you are done, you'll be able to get this new version in all stores (IT, retail, etc.)..

I had already introduced the beta of Windows 7 , but this time I can give you a little feedback, since I have the chance to work with this release for several weeks.

Well, promises kept!
This Windows is stable, functional, fast, attractive ... and even light enough! Whether you're running XP or Vista, it worth moving to Seven.

I have not met the notorious inconsistency of material, since even if the drivers for Windows 7 are not those of Vista working perfectly. I had a trouble with a famous burning software, including Nero 7.5, which seems incompatible *, but a higher version works perfectly.

So you worry, Microsoft did not bribed to lay this article, I'm just very pleased with this new OS ... and I have not forgotten Linux in history, as I look forward to seeing you on 29 this month for the release of Ubuntu 9.10!

* (Installation and uninstallation that plants can not avoid the experience ... unless you want to uninstall the program by hand blow to delete keys in the registry)

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 ;-)

As you may have learned via Twitter, I recently invested in a Google Phone in Android , the operating system from Google. And I must say that I am fully satisfied!

So I bought a HTC Magic with version 1.5 of the OS. Design (too?) Sober can put off a little at first, but finally the general egonomie phone is good. The phone has a 3 megapixel camera with auto-focus, a GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth.

To return to the operating Systel, it operates in 100% online, which means to have a package with unlimited internet. The touch screen of the phone can navigate through menus, desktop switcher (3 available), type your messages, etc ... The operation is somewhat similar to an iPhone.

By default, the phone has several applications, including Gmail and Google Maps (Google account required to access these services). Of course, there is also an application for SMS / MMS, an address book, calendar (Google Calendar), a browser, email software, alarm clock ...

But where other phones are limited in terms of functionality, with Android and the Android Market (Apple Store-like), it is possible to add lots of applications and so many features on the phone!

I already installed a file manager, a QR code scanner and Flashcode, a PDF reader, an application indicating radar, an application for WhiteBoard, a Twitter client ( Twidroid ), an MSN client, an application to watch TV, ... and all for free.

Indeed, there is as a huge amount of free applications available and installable with one click. Android is a Linux system revisited, it enjoys the power of the open source community has already begun to bear many applications for the system. Although the Android Market has a little behind the Apple Store, its potential is ennorme.

In short, I give a 8.5 / 10 on the phone (design for improvement and heats a little 3G or GPS) and a 9 / 10 to Android (still needs some adjustment at the input), in other words a fatal combo!

Ps: the fact that exite an impressive amount of applications for Android, I'd be happy to share my discoveries with you through this blog. So I added a category in which Android I will post the articles.

As you've probably read everywhere on the web, Windows Seven (7) has released version RC public. This means that you can also try this OS on your machine.

Two options are available to you:

1. You have a little space on your hard drive (empty partition) and in this case you can try an installation of Windows 7, in parallel with your current system.
2. Your disk is busy in its entirety (my case) and you do not want to risk your data compromètre due to a crash.

In the second case, as I recall it is only a trial version of Windows 7, which is perhaps not without bugs, use a virtualization program type VirtualBox seems indicated.

So I will detail the procedures below.

Permièrement, it should download Windows 7 RC by visiting this page . A small manager download sites will settle for you to download the ISO image.

Next, download VirtualBox and install it. Example, you can follow the following tutorial ensuring choose the following options:

• Windows 7
• 1GB memory about
• Dynamic virtual disk of 10 GB (depending on the space you have on your hard drive)
• Size of the video memory 64 MB +
• DVDROM DVD / CD player host if you burned the iso, otherwise ISO image file and select the Windows 7

Then run the virtual machine and install just begun. Then simply follow the instructions on the screen. After two restarts and once your license key entry (received by mail when downloading Windows) you can test Windows 7.

My first impressions are pretty good, despite the fact that the system is running in a virtual machine with only 1GB of RAM, and with a minimum graphics card, it is still quite fluid.

Level interface, it is very Vista-like ... we like it or not. Windows Media Center is included with, so we just easily test the multimedia content and it runs very well.

I am pleasantly surprised!

Ps: this article was written entirely in Windows 7 ;-)

[Edit]

For information, the key provided by Microsoft is valid until June 2010 ...

Otherwise, if you want to switch to full screen with VirtualBox (CTRL + F) you will notice if you have a wide screen that the image does not take the whole screen.

Two methods:

In the menu "Machine" from the window of your virtual machine, select "Automatic adjustment of the size of the screen called," and go to full screen mode (CTRL + F)

Or, if this does not work on the host where VirtualBox is installed, when the virtual machine is running (started Windows), run the command prompt, move to the directory where you installed VirtualBox (eg C : \ Program Files \ Sun \ xVM VirtualBox) and enter the following command:

(For a VM called "Windows 7" screen and 1280 × 800)

VBoxManage controlvm "Windows 7" setvideomodehint "1280" "800" "24"
