Voilà… Je n’ai pas pu résister… La curiosité a vaincu… J’ai testé IE7 en bêta… Pas la peine de m’envoyer les foudres de Zeus pour ça… Quand on veut parler de quelque chose, on se doit de le connaître et dans le cas présent de le tester…
Bref, j’ai jeté un coup d’œil à cet évènement dont tout le monde parle! Les critiques fusent, les compliments affluent. Comme toujours, il y a les pours et les contres. Chose d’autant plus fréquente lorsque c’est Microsoft qui pond un programme. C’est drôle ça quand même, non? Toujours est-il que moi je m’en moque. On prend ce qui est bon et on rejette ce qui est mauvais pour former un tout correct… Il y a du bon partout (oui, je sais, chez IE, il n’y a que du mauvais…).
D’un point de vue technique, c’est presque tout bénef pour les développeurs web qui verront IE7 accepter beaucoup plus de balises CSS et d’autres petites choses… Les modifications n’auront d’ailleurs qu’à être effectuées par le webmaster car par le biais d’un habile script, l’opération sera transparente pour l’internaute. Ça c’est pour l’aspect design. Cependant, cela ne semble pas être une priorité du côté de chez Bill Gates… En effet, la firme a assuré qu’elle mettait un point d’honneur à « sécuriser » son navigateur. Au premier coup d’œil difficile de voir ce qu’il y a de plus ; les options sont les mêmes et aucun menu n’a été ajouté. Pour la sécurité en plus, ça doit sûrement être de l’underground. Tellement underground qu’une faille de la taille du Grand Canyon a été dévoilée sur les forums adeptes de pratiques illicites.
Pour terminer le très rapide tour d’horizon, on passera par la navigation aidée d’un système d’onglets ; déjà adoptée par l’Open Source et plus particulièrement par Firefox depuis quelques temps. Et on terminera sur la possibilité de gérer ses flux RSS. Bravo! Presque comme les autres!
Moralité : installé hier soir vers 23h30, désinstallé ce matin vers 11h30… Le flou fait mal aux yeux…

Remote and rugged

A more organic way to see this coast is by the multi-day coastal ferry, the long-running Sarfaq Ittuk, of the Arctic Umiaq Line. It’s less corporate than the modern cruise ships and travelers get to meet Inuit commuters. Greenland is pricey. Lettuce in a local community store might cost $10, but this coastal voyage won’t break the bank.
The hot ticket currently for exploring Greenland’s wilder side is to head to the east coast facing Europe. It’s raw and sees far fewer tourists, with a harshly dramatic coastline of fjords where icebergs drift south. There are no roads and the scattered population of just over 3,500 people inhabit a coastline roughly the distance from New York to Denver.
A growing number of small expedition vessels probe this remote coast for its frosted scenery and wildlife. Increasingly popular is the world’s largest fjord system of Scoresby Sound with its sharp-fanged mountains and hanging valleys choked by glaciers. Sailing north is the prosaically named North East Greenland National Park, fabulous for spotting wildlife on the tundra.
Travelers come to see polar bears which, during the northern hemisphere’s summer, move closer to land as the sea-ice melts. There are also musk oxen, great flocks of migrating geese, Arctic foxes and walrus.
Some of these animals are fair game for the local communities. Perhaps Greenland’s most interesting cultural visit is to a village that will take longer to learn how to pronounce than actually walk around — Ittoqqortoormiit. Five hundred miles north of its neighboring settlement, the 345 locals are frozen in for nine months of the year. Ships sail in to meet them during the brief summer melt between June and August.
Locked in by ice, they’ve retained traditional habits.
“My parents hunt nearly all their food,” said Mette Barselajsen, who owns Ittoqqortoormiit’s only guesthouse. “They prefer the old ways, burying it in the ground to ferment and preserve it. Just one muskox can bring 440 pounds of meat.”
Scientists redid an experiment that showed how life on Earth could have started. They found a new possibility

In the 1931 movie “Frankenstein,” Dr. Henry Frankenstein howling his triumph was an electrifying moment in more ways than one. As massive bolts of lightning and energy crackled, Frankenstein’s monster stirred on a laboratory table, its corpse brought to life by the power of electricity.
Electrical energy may also have sparked the beginnings of life on Earth billions of years ago, though with a bit less scenery-chewing than that classic film scene.
Earth is around 4.5 billion years old, and the oldest direct fossil evidence of ancient life — stromatolites, or microscopic organisms preserved in layers known as microbial mats — is about 3.5 billion years old. However, some scientists suspect life originated even earlier, emerging from accumulated organic molecules in primitive bodies of water, a mixture sometimes referred to as primordial soup.
But where did that organic material come from in the first place? Researchers decades ago proposed that lightning caused chemical reactions in ancient Earth’s oceans and spontaneously produced the organic molecules.
Now, new research published March 14 in the journal Science Advances suggests that fizzes of barely visible “microlightning,” generated between charged droplets of water mist, could have been potent enough to cook up amino acids from inorganic material. Amino acids — organic molecules that combine to form proteins — are life’s most basic building blocks and would have been the first step toward the evolution of life.
