Hotmail incinerates customer files

"Legal experts said there is generally little recourse for consumers in the event of data loss on services such as Hotmail, which are typically covered by terms-of-service agreements that provide broad liability exemptions.
"In general, consumers are out of luck," said Ira Rothken, an attorney based in San Rafael, Calif., who has litigated such cases in the past. "Frankly, it's understandable. There are always going to be glitches that lead to data loss."
He said consumers can protect themselves by ensuring that valuable files are adequately backed up. Some Web-based e-mail services, such as Yahoo Mail, allow customers to download e-mail to their desktops and retrieve them using a PC-based e-mail client such as Microsoft's Outlook. Online storage services such as IBackup, Xdrive and Connected also provide file backup services for a monthly fee.
Raghu Kulkarni, a spokesman for IBackup, said demand for online storage services is growing. The privately held company serves thousands of customers who subscribe to service packages that run from $3 to $800 a month. The most popular plan costs $14.95 a month for a 4GB backup plan.
But he offers a sobering note: Online storage companies don't guarantee customers a fail-safe backup system.
"We do not provide a 100 percent guarantee that the backup will take place," he said. "That cannot be guaranteed by anyone. That's just because of the nature of the Internet--it's very difficult to provide a 100 percent guarantee.""

In the virtual stacks, pirated books find readers

The New York Times
"Early in his undergraduate years at Indiana University, Joseph Ruesewald said, he had trouble finding the required titles for a couple of his classes at the local bookstores.
When he tried ordering the books online, he learned it would take too long for delivery. Having come of age in the era of Napster, Kazaa and other file-sharing networks infamous as bazaars for pirated music, he knew exactly how to obtain the books--if not in his hands, at least for his computer's hard drive.
Over the semesters, downloading books free and reading them on his monitor became routine, he said. He learned to adjust the screen color to off-white to help reduce eye strain and depleted his university printing allotment by running off hundreds of pages at a time."

Blackberry, la 'machine à mails'

Dommage qu'il n'existe pas de version sachant faire les deux à la fois !"

Muro MR100: lecteur/enregistreur MP3... et émetteur radio
http://www.muro-france.com/
Dans la série, lecteurs/enregistreurs MP3 qui font des choses en plus, le Muro MR100 qui fait émetteur radio.
Extrait du test de kennymuro:
"Mais surtout, il possède une fonction qu'il est le seul à intégrer: l'émission FM.
A quoi ça sert? Tout simplement à émettre sur la bande FM (de 88 à 107 MHz, fréquence qu l'on peut choisir manuellement ou automatiquement) toute la musique qu'il contient. Par exemple, vous êtes en voiture et vous voulez écouter la musique de votre Muro. Il est déconseillé de mettre les écouteurs en conduisant. C'est pourquoi il est meilleur et plus pratique d'utiliser cette fonction. Vous mettez le Muro en lecture et vous activez l'émission FM. Vous choisissez une fréquence radio libre (ou vous laissez le Muro le faire à votre place), puis vous réglez votre autoradio sur la même fréquence….et là….magie !!! vous entendez la musique du Muro sur les hauts parleurs de votre voiture. Et cela marche avec n'importe quel récepteur FM."

Microsoft Portrait
http://research.microsoft.com/~jiangli/portrait/
"Microsoft Portrait is a research prototype for mobile video communication. It supports .NET Messenger Service, Session Initiation Protocol and Internet Locator Service on PCs, Pocket PCs, Handheld PCs and Smartphone. It runs on local area networks, dialup networks and even wireless networks with bandwidths as low as 9.6 kilobits/second. Microsoft Portrait delivers portrait-like video if users are in low bandwidths and displays full-color video if users are in broadband. In low bandwidths, portrait video possesses clearer shape, smoother motion, shorter latency and much cheaper computational cost than do conventional video technologies. Microsoft Portrait pursues providing presence notification, chat/voice/video functions anytime, anywhere, on any device."
"PPC version 2.21 has been released. It supports HP Photosmart Mobile Camera and Hitachi G1000 Pocket PC Phone Built-In Camera."
