10 Downing Street : A Prime Minister 2.0 ?Posted by Cedric in Internet News, Our World, communications
Prime Minister Gordon Brown (at least his PR team) is active on Twitter and photos of the French President's visit to Downing Street have been published, by PM communication team, on Flickr. Is PM Brown a geek also ? Who will be next ? This one perhaps ?
Q: Will it give enough "respectability" to introduce micro-blogging into corporate environment ? or is it still too early ? I will come on that subject again, after reading Simon's post Tags: 2008, blog, brown, communication, downing, Flickr, geek, ia, im, lan, micro-blogging, network, nomadcom.net, photo, politics, post, prime minister, sco, social, social networking, twit, Twitter, uk, web, web 2.0, wp, www
Many companies spend a small fortune and deploy a small army to secure themselves from the many security threats lurking these days. But all those efforts can come to naught when making any of these common mistakes. The results can range from embarrassing to devastating, but security experts say that all are easily avoidable. And almost all can be done without spending one more dime.

Mobile phone on-board: Emirates has it.Posted by Cedric in Aviation, On The Road, Telecommunications, Travel, communications
The first flight with authorized mobile phone calls was made on 20th of March between Dubai and Casablanca on-board of an Emirates Airbus A340-300 fitted with AeroMobile system, which ensures mobile telephones operate at minimum power during flights and make sure mobile phone signal does not interfere with aircraft navigation equipments. A second aircraft equipped with the same AeroMobile system will be in service shortly. Rates were not published, but in 2007, cost per minute was estimated between 2.50 and 3.50 USD.

Counter-Terrorism new advertising campaign. All suspects ?Posted by Cedric in Coup de Gueule, On The Road, Our World, Photography, communications
"Thousands of people take photos every day. What if one of them seems odd ? Terrorists use surveillance to help plan attacks, taking photos and making notes about security measures like the location of CCTV cameras.If you see someone doing that, we need to know. Let experienced officers decide what action to take." Other posters target households: "you see hundreds of houses every day. What if one has unusual activities and seems suspicious" as well as mobile phone users : "Thousands of people have mobiles. What if someone with several seems suspicious?" What's going on in London ? Is the Metropolitan police not busy enough ? did they become completely paranoiac ? or do they need some budget increase ? Where is this so famous British phlegm ? As a response, many people have already redesigned the posters to point out the absurdity of them. Some samples are available on BoingBoing.

Last Saturday, during powerful storm Emma, 39 years-old Lufthansa pilot attempted to land his Airbus A320 with 131 passengers in Hamburg’s Fuhlsbüttel airport.
Facing winds up to 90 km/h at the moment of the landing, the left wing grazed the runway for a moment, but the pilot was able to stabilise the aircraft and take off. The plane landed safely 15 minutes later on its second attempt. All passengers and crew were unharmed and the aircraft was only slightly damaged. After having its wing tip replaced the A320 was expected to be back in service on Monday. Well Done Captain !
