On ne va pas en faire des tonnes, parce que finalement, cela importe plus aux rédacteurs et modos qu'aux visiteurs, mais on remercie l'équipe du site d'information "LePost" qui a classé le blog iPhon.fr à la première place de son classement, catégorie "High Tech", annoncé ce jeudi ici.

Voici la méthode utilisée : "Ce Top met en valeur les blogs qui montent en se basant sur 2 critères essentiels : l'évolution du nombre de commentaires et de liens entrants sur les 20 derniers billets.". Il n'y a pas de méthode parfaite ... Mais on aime bien celle-là ;-), car elle récompense aussi nos visiteurs, vous, qui déposez des commentaires , donc merci à vous et les personnes qui font des liens vers nos billets !

Ceci a également été une opportunité de répondre à quelques questions ici.

Pendant qu'on y est, merci également au magazine iCreate, qui a consacré un article au blog dans son numéro 50 (après avoir déjà couvert la sortie de l'application iPhon.fr / iFon.fr il y a quelques mois également), voici ci-dessous une photo de l'article (cliquer pour agrandir) :

Et enfin, iPhon.Fr est cité dans cette vidéo de DecideursTV consacrée à deux entrepreneurs qui ont monté leur société autour de l'iPhone.

Bon, on arrête là pour la rubrique auto-satisfaction, désolé pour cet écart ;-)

Merci à Gérard pour l'info et la photo, et à Dan06

  • Una maggiore personalizzazione del nostro avatar 3D . E’ infatti possibile guadagnare oggetti e punti;
  • E’ possibile sbloccare nuove attrezzature per l’avatar
  • Aggiunta la possibilità di sbloccare nuove classifiche
  • Aggiunta la possibilità di comparare i propri risultati con gli amici

Ricordiamo che Booyah è stato finanziato dall’iFund di Apple che ha pagato ben 4,5 milioni di dollari per la realizzazione di quest’applicazione. Purtroppo non si è mai raggiunto il successo sperato e a dirla tutta non lo trovo cosi diverso e rivoluzionario rispetto a facebook e twitter.

Here’s your chance to own Gene Roddenberry’s Mac (No Comments)

Filed under: , , , ,

Update: OK, we have to hand it to all of you -- you have successfully pointed out that this Mac's model number isn't consistent with a Mac Plus, but instead with a 128K original Mac. We took that key fact back to the auction house that is listing this machine, and they did their own due diligence to come up with the following explanation:
We've gotten several inquires about this by the fantastically loyal and knowledgeable Mac community. After further investigating the item, here's the information:
Firstly, this Macintosh was, indeed, presented to Gene Roddenberry by Apple. There is no doubt about this.
The conflict between the photo and the serial number is as follows. This computer, given by Apple to Mr. Roddenberry, is an early production Macintosh 128 (#776), which was then upgraded by Apple for Gene to a Macintosh Plus-thus the model number / serial number / panel that "belongs to" a Macintosh Plus. The 0001 led us to mistakenly believe that it was the first one off the line.
Again, the provenance of the item is perfect and it did belong to Mr. Roddenberry. I apologize for any confusion.

So, that's the story as we understand it. The headline has been adjusted to match the new information, and in turn we apologize for the error.

How would you like to own the first Macintosh Plus computer? By first, I mean the one with serial number F4200NUM0001, the Mac that was given by Apple to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. As you'll remember, a Mac Plus (presumably not this one) was used by Scotty in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Profiles in History
, an auction house with a storied history of selling amazing Hollywood memorabilia, will be auctioning off the Mac Plus at their October 8-9 auction. While most of the attention will probably be focused on the Michael Jackson glove from the 1984 Victory Tour, Apple aficionados are invited to put in bids on this piece of Apple history.

Here's the description of the Mac Plus from Profiles in History:
This is the very first Macintosh Plus 1Mb personal computer to come off the assembly line at Apple Computer in Fresno, California. It was presented to Gene Roddenberry as a gift by Apple Computer, Inc. and bears the serial number F4200NUM0001. The Macintosh Plus was a revelation among personal computers when it came on the market in 1986. With 1 Mb RAM (upgradeable to 4Mb), it supported the double-sided floppy disk format and was the first Mac with a SCSI port for fast data transfer to and from an external hard drive.

The Macintosh was the first mass produced computer to utilize the mouse and the Macintosh Plus was the longest-lived Macintosh with production until 1990. It features the beige-colored case with 9 in. display, 3.5 in. floppy drive and includes the short keyboard, external floppy drive, mouse and Apple logo deluxe padded carrying case. An incredible artifact with a wonderful association between the visionary computer designer/manufacturer and legendary Star Trek creator. Accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Gene Roddenberry's son, Rod.
The Mac Plus is expected to sell for $1000 - $1200, less than half of its original purchase price. A closeup photo of the computer showed definite signs of use, including the lovely sludge that tends to build up on keyboards and mice after years of handling. For a view of the Mac Plus in all of its beige (Pantone 453) glory, read on.

NPR News app updated, improved (No Comments)

Filed under: , , , ,

The NPR News app [iTunes link] is quickly becoming a jack of all trades for news junkies and those wanting a quick fix of their favorite NPR program.

The latest version, 1.1, adds sharing of stories via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail. You can now pause radio programs, as well as fast forward and rewind them.

Finding local stations is easy by using the iPhone's location services, or you can choose to listen to just about every NPR station in the country.

The news part of the app works pretty quickly on a 3G network, but I find the pop-up ads at the bottom irritating. I don't think there are enough news stories on screen at once, an issue it shares with the AP News app. The NPR app has been popular since the moment it was released, and the developers have continued to be responsive and add features on a regular basis.

Getting access to NPR programs like Car Talk and All Things Considered is very nice, plus you can listen to any individual news story on demand.

There is no search function, which would be most welcome, but overall the app is really useful and continues to improve.

If you don't have it, grab it for free. If you already have it and use it, be sure to update to this latest version.
