Re: 28 - L’amitié qui va ou qui s’en va

jpcyr — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:05:13 -0000

Drôle que tu écrives sur la question, enfin le phénomène. Je m'intéresse à ce denier depuis un bon 10 ans.

La recherche qui démontre que notre cercle d'amis ce rétréci à partir de 25 ans est incroyable palpable et vrai. Bien que j'ai toujours des amis qui datent de plus de 25, voir 30 ans... Je ne les vois vraiment pas très souvent, ils deviennent donc des amis presque du second cercle si ce n'est pas du troisième, car tu ne peux te confier à eux comme tu le faisais avant et il devient presque gênant de leur demander ce qu'ils deviennent quand tu connaissais tout deux.

D'autres prennent leur place et c'est à eux que tu dis ce que tu penses et ressens. L'amitié change. C'est le constat auquel il faut se faire à l'idée et franchement C'EST FUCKING PAS FACILE.

Je déteste devoir laisser des gens que j'ai aimés en arrière, mais comme je dis souvent l'amitié c'est comme un muscle. Si tu ne le travailles pas des deux côtés, ça n’ira juste nulle part. Tu ne peux pas toujours être le seul à faire les efforts et c'est surtout que plus tu vieillis, tu en as marre des relations compliquées.

"Whatsapp does not store any data on their servers. Once the message is delivered to your phone, it is deleted from the server. Authentication is with a phone number, which means no login or password even. And the service is free the first year and a dollar per year after that."

I would recommend to enable your Bluetooth first, turn Off your Wi-Fi if it is On and then turn On the Personal Hotspot. By default turning On Personal Hotspot enable both of them if they are at Off.

Something that would be great is to be able to move from one photo to another in the stack with arrows.

Re: Google+ Is Growing at Facebook Speed

jpcyr — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:14:26 -0000

You miss my point. It is not about who is the lead now or in the future in numbers, but how active are the users on those networks as they both compete for your eyeballs, the only source of revenue being from advertising. So it is not the growing number of users that matter, but how many hours a day/week they are using it. People are spending way much more time on Facebook than they do on Google+. Now and probably in the future also. Google+ is not really catching up even if their numbers are growing (just look at the number of your friends on Google+ vs Facebook and how active they are on both platforms), no detective work is needed here.

But I still do wish them success. Competition is good for the users. As long as a service is free, for sure we will have to cope with the fact that we compromise part of our privacy. The price to pay to have such features for free.

This article has nearly twice the number of tweets and Facebook shares then Google +1. I think it shows how user are active on those networks, specially for a story about Google+

Apple's policy is that if damage was caused by opening the case, then the warranty on the parts damaged is voided. Essentially, if Apple believes that you, and not an authorized service center, accessed non-"User Replacable Parts" (pretty much limited to battery and RAM), and they can find evidence of that, you're SOL on a warranty claim.

That said, if you are careful -- by this, I mean: use the correct tools, track the location of every screw removed, ensure static protection and are careful not to stress or force any removal or reassembly step -- you are A) unlikely to cause damage, and B) unlikely to leave any signs that the case was opened. You just need a large, clean work surface and about an hour (on the conservative side) to make sure that you do it right.

Your other option is to go a Genius bar and ask a technician to do it for you. Show this post if needed to him/her.

I have both the 2010 and 2011 MBA. The problem you are describing is only about the Macbook Air 2010. This is caused by the bottom plate not being properly screwed. It is a known issue (I know I had the problem myself!) and you should simply go to the Apple Store. They will unscrew the bottom plate and just replace it properly and then screw it back. It is not the problem I'm describing here, but certainly very annoying.

If you cannot go to an Apple Store, you can unscrew the bottom plate yourself using a star screwdriver (http://www.amazon.com/Anyti.... If you have Apple Care, I would suggest not to, as not to void your warranty.

If you have the new MacBook Pro with the proprietary screws, you will need to visit a Genius Bar or you can by a screwdriver on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/7dhl9xd

It won't, but the new MBP have the new screw heads and unless you have the proper screwdriver you will not be able to open it. I suggest you visit the Apple Store and ask a Genius to repair (with an electrical tape like others in the comment have done). You can show him/her this website if needed.

Barbara Sullivan is most certainly a stupid person who's been asked to say whatever she wants as long as she explains why 1 millions iPhone 4S has been ordered without saying, explicitly, that those people who did ordered it were just damn stupid to so.

And Wendy should be ashamed of posting those thing on the behalf of her employer.

Re: [Update] Unlocked iPhone 4S Prices in Canada Revealed at $649, $749, $849

If you go in the pre-order page and click on the "About The Unlocked Phone" here's the message you get:

The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a contract commitment. You can activate and use it on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T in the United States.* The unlocked iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will not work with CDMA-based carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.

Footnote... Go see the Footnote

* CDMA available only if iPhone 4S is sold and activated for use on a CDMA network.

Bell and Telus are now like Rogers HSPA+

When you order the iPhone 4S on the Canadian site (like I did) you received a confirmation email and the order said iPhone 4S BLACK GSM. This is I begun ask myself the question.

Apple call it a World phone. And what a world phone is a GSM phone. They said it during the conference: that any CDMA network users would be able to be get access also to the world coverage as the phone is dual band (CDMA and GSM). But this is for them, the CDMA users. All the others are already on world phone is some way.

The problem is more for the US residents. Doing a good move would be to buy an unlock phone, so they can move from carrier to carrier. Here in Canada it is not a big deal unless you were planning to go to the US and would have like coverage on one of the CDMA networks, otherwise you will be hooked up with AT&T.

The iPhone 4S in Canada is not Dual Band GSM/CDMA. It is only GSM. You can see this by comparing the Canada vs US iPhone 4S tech specs.

I can feel your relief. I suggest you keep it, if you ever need to send back your Mac, in it's original form, not to void any warranty.

This problem as NOTHING to do with the Motion Sensor in the MacBook Pro. If you take the time to read, you will get this. This is about a spring of metal that makes noise scratching the bottom plate of the MacBook Pro while it gets hot.

Genius know about this issue by now. And I guess Apple will do nothing to fix the issue other than releasing newer laptop. I suggest you repair it yourself as it's easy, but I know that many have ask the Genius to do it for them. They even have shown that post when the G had that look you talk about ;)

Nothing to worry about if you can live with the sound, but this is the first time I hear it from someone who has a 13 inches, but I guess this is possible. Just open the back plate and have a tap between the spring and the aluminum of the plate to stop the noise.

It really sounds more complicated than it is. It is really simple as the only thing you need to understand is how to screw and unscrew. There is nothing else in the operation like disconnecting a wire or something else involving electronic. You just need to be methodical as some screws of the plate are more longer than other and need to be place back in the same hole. As for the spring, it is two screws to remove, that's it.

If you are close to an Apple Store you can ask a Genius to do it for you. By now it is a document problem and they should know how to fix it. They generally remove the plate, put an electrical tape between the plate and the spring before closing everything. You'll be in peace after that ;)
