The Scala Programming Language | The Scala Programming Language: "For example, at Twitter, the social networking service, Robey Pointer moved their core message queue from Ruby to Scala. This change was driven by the company's need to reliably scale their operation to meet fast growing Tweet rates, already reaching 5000 per minute during the Obama Inauguration. Robeys thinking behind the Twitter Kestrel project is explained in the developers live journal. His concise 1500 lines of Scala code can be seen as he has generously made them available as an open source project."  Yesterday I was at the Vlerick Alumni Event: "Keynote speech: Strategic Agility and Innovation by Mikko Kosonen" "Mikko Kosonen is a rare combination of a line executive and management academic. He will talk - based on his practical Nokia experience and research - about those management & leadership principles that allow companies (and any organization) to be creative and innovative.Former advisor to the management of Nokia for many years, he is now President of Sitra, an independent public foundation with a mission to build a successful Finland for tomorrow. Mikko Kosonen completed a Doctor's thesis in Economic Sciences (International Business) and has published several books and articles on strategic management." You can find some of the presentatio slides here : Strategic Agility I found his speech on Strategic Agility very interesting. He gave examples of IBM which were specially interesting : I have worked 2 years at IBM. For the complete story I guess you should have a look at the Book : Fast Strategy. After this speech, here are some of my learning points to achieve strategic Agility : Strategic Sensitivity

Motivation/Principles/Requirements extensions to Archimate - Archi User forum: "(ArchiMate® Extension for Modeling and Managing Motivation, PrinciplesGreat ! If such an extension is added, that would allow me to use only one method instead of combining KAOS and Archimate in the eRRA methodology.  Official Google Blog: Introducing Boutiques: a new way to shop for fashion online: "A year and half ago, our team (which at the time was part of Like.com) started to wonder if we could create a better experience for people to shop online." A closer look at Boutiques shows us how digital contents could be sold in the future. You just want to follow what people read and catch it from there.... A good example of "Social Grasduinen" ?  Chinese e-reader price war is heating up: "Digitimes are reporting that Hanvon, MReader, and other Chinese e-reader manufacturers have lowered their prices for the domestic Chinese market. Hanvon Technology, currently the largest vendor of e-book readers in the China market, has lowered its retail prices by 200-300 yuan (US$30-45) on average, with the lowest price reaching 950 yuan, according to report by China-based Beijing Morning Post. The price war for e-book readers in the China market has kicked off and there are expected to be rounds of price-cut competition, the source cited China-based consulting company Analysys International as indicating. In addition to Hanvon, fellow vendor MReader has cut the retail price for its S600 e-book reader to 999 yuan and another vendor Gorld has cut the price for its 500T to about 1,000 yuan. If you’re thinking that $45 isn’t a big change, keep in mind that the Nook-Kindle price war only dropped the price $80, and that happened mainly becuase B&N wanted to price the Nook Wifi in relation to the Kobo e-reader. - Sent using Google Toolbar"  RT @mulkers: First Sound of #devoxx party will take place on Thursday twitpic.com

Why Brussels is the chosen city « TEDxBrussels Blog: "Anything started from California in Brussels seems to take off immediately, more than any other city in the world, Brussels and San Francisco for some odd reason mingle. TEDxBrussels is the largest TEDx in the world; The Founder Institute Brussels is the second biggest in the world (next to New York) and the recently started Quantified Self Group is starting to gain traction although it was originally only meant to take off in January 2011."  Lalibraire.com il y a quand même moyen de faire mieux, non ??? bit.ly
lalibrairie.com: "Vous accédez à une librairie de plus de 800 000 titres, vous commandez, payez en ligne et choisissez le point libraire adhérent dans lequel vous souhaitez retirer vos livres." Ceci est un bel exemple de refus d'adaptation à un monde qui change. Pourquoi commander un livre sur le web puis aller le chercher alors qu'on pourrait le downloader directement ?
Il y a ici une opportunité ratée de la part des libraires. Qu'est-ce qu'une librairie ? Pourquoi on irait encore dans une librairie si on aime lire des livres électroniques ? Comment le libraire va-t'il gagner sa vie dans le futur ? Le libraire dispose d'une surface commerciale qu'il doit utiliser de manière optimale pour maximiser son revenu. Dans 5 ans la moitié des gens liront au format électronique. Pourquoi iraient-ils dans une librairie ?
Je m’arrête là mais il y a pleins de choses à imaginer. Il me semble qu'un libraire qui a des idées peut faire bien plus que d'être un dépôt de commerce électronique. Mais il faut réinventer son métier...  RT @DigiBookWorld: #dbw Major weaknesses for ePUB: varied support across devices; competing DRM standards; lack of good development tool ...
