While Apple Mail loads in a glimpse of an eye, Entourage feels the need to show you off it’s brand new splash screens for a couple of seconds…
Well, after a first look at Entourage, I told myself “why is it so complicated?”, look at all those buttons, columns, text, icons.. It’s for me impossible to talk about Entourage without comparing it to Apple Mail…

New icons for the whole package. Office 2008 has the same components than 2004: Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage.
The applications need more time than the previous version of Office to start on PPC based computers, while it runs faster than Office 2004 on Intel based Macintoshs, but once they are launched, you’ll be amazed.
Let’s take a closer look to Excel to start.

The keynote address held by Steve Jobs in the ‘08 edition of MacWorld is finally available as a free podcast on the iTunes Store.

That’s the message you can read on MacWorld’s 2008 banner at Moscone.
Have no idea on what it could be.. All I know is Apple already used every wireless technology: bluetooth, airport and even wireless gsm networks… Maybe does it refer to the environment…

2007 is over.. What a year! We had almost everything!
Oil prices raised, wars (of course), terrorism, cries and so many human and natural disasters! What will happen in 2008?
Many events that will probably change the shape of our world: US presidential elections and Russian presidential elections too (Bush and Poutine won’t have the right to be candidates once again), but I’m sure Vladimir Poutine will remain on top of the government maybe as a prime Minister.
There will also Olympic Games.. in China! The question of human rights will be asked again, there will be possibly a boycott of the games that will take place in a country who decided to sacrif ice a whole generation to become an industrial power.
Nicolas Sarkozy will marry the beautiful Carla Bruni, he will also try to seduce North African countries to boost mediterranean exchanges. In 2008, we’ll talk again about oil, about terrorism, about hate, about Israel/Palestine, about Afghanistan, about nuclear (Iran) etc…

She is supposed to be a symbol: of beauty and glamour. You’ll be lost if I tell you the sacrilegious and shocking photo above IS Miss France 2008 (she also made.. some erotic photos, which make of Miss France not a symbol of charm anymore… but another symbol of .. sorry for the word “sluttyness”) and here’s an extract of an interview given by Genevieve de Fontenay (president of the Miss France Committee) on Europe 1.
If she had some courage and a bit of dignity she would say ‘I’m resigning because I’m not worthy to carry on as Miss France
Anyway, she had what she deserves because she has been dethroned.
Praising “their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change,” the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, reports Walter Gibbs and Sarah Lyall (New York Times).
Al has put his heart and soul, and much of his life during the past several years, into alerting and educating us all on the climate crisis. We are bursting with pride for Al and this historic recognition of his global contributions.
Al Gore, who is member of Apple’s Directors Board since 2003 said at the press conference as a reaction to the award:
It is the most dangerous problem we have ever faced, but it is also the greatest opportunity we have ever had to make changes. This is a chance to elevate global consciousness about the challenges we now face.
This prize encouraged Gore to take part to the ‘08 presidential election, and as Steve Jobs said a long time ago:
If he ran, there’s no question in my mind that he would be elected. But I think there’s a question in his mind, perhaps because the pain of the last election runs a lot deeper than he lets most of us see.
Congrats to Al Gore!
