sivertime — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 15:31:52 +0000

With the iPhone 7 red and the first iPad of 2017, Apple surprised everyone. Instead of launching its products in great pomp in its famous Keynote, Apple introduced its new iPhone and iPad via a simple release. Better, she put forward the price of her tablet. The details !
“The iPad is the most popular tablet in the world (…) now, its price is even more affordable,” it is with these words that Philip Schiller, vice president of marketing Apple introduced the first IPad of 2017. If we are already in love with this tablet to the editorial staff and we hiffe the class released by the iPhone 7 (PRODUCT) Red, we are also surprised by the “new” strategy of Apple. While she was accustomed to present her products via her famous Keynote, the Apple seems to have made a real strategic shift. Exit the time rhinestones and sequins, place to services and contents of good quality!
Since its inception, Apple has never put forward the price of any of its products. But the situation seems to have changed with the first iPad of 2017 which was presented as the most affordable head tablet market . And yet, the new iPad has more than one trump under the chassis. In addition to being more accessible, it benefits from better storage capacities and a bright screen. As for the iPhone 7 (Product) Red, he had as much success with the writing as a new clip of Beyoncé. But do not be fooled, Apple remains … Apple!
If Apple has also kept the price of its iPhone SE while doubling its storage capacity , this does not mean that Apple has decided to renounce “its pricing policy” . Given that hardware revenues fell by 11.5% for the full year 2016, the Cupertino firm may have decided to rely on original content and services , as has already been suggested Tim Cook. It’s not for nothing that you can watch two matches at the same time on the Apple TV with myCANAL. However, the highly anticipated iPhone 8 is announced as being very expensive according to some rumors so, needless to dream: Apple has not changed!

Last remark, “in France, it is rather the men, posing with their camera, who seem to attract the feminine gente”, reveals Happn. Now, place on the boards!
As a priority, highlight 5 photos in your profile, this is the ideal number. “To draw attention, the first photo must be a portrait where the face is clearly visible and highlighted . ” And, above all, make sure to choose quality photos! No, the pixel or the blur are not “a way to emphasize your artistic soul” . And do not put too much on your potos: “You have a lot of friends and enjoy partying with them. It’s great, but on his profile, we avoid putting pictures with all his friends and Privileges the solo clichés ” . It should not be that your potential target prefers your best friend to you anyway.

Facebook and 8 media tackle fake news in France

The war on false information is declared! After announcing the deployment of an anti-fake news tool in Germany, it is in France that Facebook decides to invite itself.
Three weeks after the announcement of Facebook saying test a tool “anti-fake news” , we see how this will take shape in France! On January 15th, the social network announced that it intends to deploy the first measures related to this “anti-fake news” tool in Germany this year, at a time when the country will have to face an election period. Clearly, Facebook wants to avoid being associated with the election results, as has been the case at the time of Donald Trump’s election as the new president of the United States . The American giant will therefore work with independent organizations that meet the fact-checking codes of the Poynter Institute of Journalism. Organizations will report to Facebook if any news is true or if it is totally false, resulting in sanctions, if any. Sanctions that will not go to the censorship (contrary to what happened to a work of art deemed “too bare” for Facebook) , but appear more or less clearly that the information shared n ‘ Is not completely reliable. Well, let’s say it now, we know what this tool will look like in France.
As has just been unveiled, Facebook joins 8 national media: AFP, Le Monde, France Médias Monde (RFI, France 24), L’Express, Libération, 20 Minutes, BFM-TV and USAinformations fight Against false information disseminated online. “Once the system is deployed, a new feature will allow users to report information that they believe is false. The link is compiled into a portal that has access to all of these media: if two of them recognize it as false after verification, the visible link on Facebook appears as challenged and any attempt to share is accompanied by a warning about it, ” says the site Numerama , which relays the announcement. The 8 media and Facebook launch today in a two-month experiment with an assessment that should then say whether the adventure continues or not.
