MacFusion brings all sorts of information to your Mac in the form of files and folders displayed as just another "Volume" on your Mac desktop. Right now you can use this software to show a Secure Shell or Secure FTP share from another computer on your macs desktop, letting you manipulate the files on it as if they were on your own computer. MacFusion can also do the same for any File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, giving read/write FTP in the finder for the first time! MacFusion works using open source technology called FUSE ported by Google to the Mac platform (MacFuse).

MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension.

Voilà quelques années, deux acteurs majeurs du courrier électronique se partageaient le monde: Hotmail et Yahoo! Mail. Voilà peu Gmail annonce son ouverture au grand public permettant de se passer du système sélectif d’invitations. Revenons sur la stratégie utilisée par Google depuis le lancement en avril 2004 de Gmail ainsi que sur les bouleversements qu’il a introduits chez ses concurrents.

Here’s how to become a totally evil, worm-like creature with Google’s array of services in under a month

Let's face it. Google pretty much owns the Internet landscape. Unless something truly unexpected happens within the web community, I see no real indicator that they'll lose their market share anytime soon. This also opens them up to other online opportunities should they decide to pursue them. One such opportunity is believed to be the much famed idea of a Google OS. The rumors have been floating around back and forth for awhile now and many people believe that it's simply a matter of time. Well I'm here to tell you that this is never going to happen; at least not in a form that we might expect to see, that is.

Avec ses lettres de couleur et son écran sobre, son critère de classement innovant et pertinent et son index volumineux, Google a su en quelques années s’imposer pour devenir la référence en terme de recherches sur Internet.

We generate money by serving Google text advertisments on a network of hidden Websites. With this money we automatically buy Google shares. We buy Google via their own advertisment! Google eats itself - but in the end "we" own it! By establishing this model we deconstruct the new global advertisment mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click-based economic model.

Ce billet est la traduction à la youpla de cet article de Wired.com, trouvé via Slashdot. C'est LE résumé que j'attendais concernant l'omniprésence de Google dans... ben... dans tout, c'est le principe de base de l'omniprésence.

The more I study them, the more convinced I am that Google has a truly revolutionary business model, and are the most visible pioneers of the emerging 21st century Gift Economy. Microsoft, and the irresponsible brokers who keep flogging overpriced stocks based on unsustainable growth promises, and everyone else who owes their living to the Ponzi scheme that is the modern growth/market economy, should be very afraid.

Google hired a pair of very bright industrial designers to figure out how to cram the greatest number of CPUs, the most storage, memory and power support into a 20- or 40-foot box. We're talking about 5000 Opteron processors and 3.5 petabytes of disk storage that can be dropped-off overnight by a tractor-trailer rig.

Play to your strengths. That's the key to success in any industry. This is the week I promised to explain where I think Google is headed, and playing to the company's strengths is key if they are going to do what I think, which is effectively take over the Internet. Oh they won't steal it or strong-arm us. They'll seduce us into giving it to them. And I am not at all sure that's a bad thing.

Google isn't worried about Yahoo! or Microsoft's search efforts...although the media's focus on that is probably to their advantage. Their real target is Windows. Who needs Windows when anyone can have free unlimited access to the world's fastest computer running the smartest operating system?

Much is being written about Gmail, Google's new free webmail system. There's something deeper to learn about Google from this product than the initial reaction to the product features, however. Ignore for a moment the observations about Google leapfrogging their competitors with more user value and a new feature or two. Or Google diversifying away from search into other applications; they've been doing that for a while. Or the privacy red herring.

L’algorithme du PageRank est un des sujets qui a suscité le plus de débats passionnels auprès des Webmasters. Il existe de ce fait de nombreux articles traitant du sujet sur Internet, mais la plupart sont rédigés en anglais. Cette barrière linguistique limite l’intérêt de ces articles pour toute une classe de Webmestres francophones. Essayons donc ensemble de lever un voile sur cet algorithme dont la compréhension est indispensable à un bon référencement sur le Roi des moteurs.
