It will sync your pictures, music, … (I wonder how much data you will need to use that service properly!) Second, [...]
This week Amazon announced a whole new family of e-readers, Kindles, but also the heavily rumored Amazon Tablet, Fire. This Android tablet is – hardware wise – very 2011: it is featuring a 7″ multi-touch IPS display (which is very nice) with a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution, a Gorilla glass screen, 512 of RAM (I’m guessing here), 8 GO [...]

Mostly virtual aviation, but also trains, construction, … This is taking place to the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace in Le Bourget (close to Paris and CDG). I must admit that me and myself are [...]
