La neutralité du Net à nouveau attaquée en justice aux Etats-Unis
Georges-Edouard DIAS's insight:
Le nouveau cadre réglementaire, qui n'est pas encore entré en vigueur, interdira notamment la création de « voies prioritaires », qui auraient pu permettre aux fournisseurs d'accès à Internet (FAI) de facturer les gros consommateurs de bande passante pour leur assurer une vitesse de connexion optimale. Cela aurait pu instaurer à un Internet à deux vitesses, entre les géants du Web pouvant se permettre de payer et ceux qui n'auraient pas disposé de ressources financières suffisantes.

Quand la Silicon Valley recrute des stars de Wall Street
Georges-Edouard DIAS's insight:
Pour recruter sa nouvelle directrice financière, Google s'est tourné vers Wall Street. Le géant américain a débauché Ruth Porat, qui occupait jusque-là les mêmes fonctions au sein de Morgan Stanley, l'une des grandes banques d'affaires américaines. A 57 ans, la responsable, qui remplace le Canadien Patrick Pichette, officie désormais à l'un des postes les plus importants au sein de la firme de Mountain View. Son recrutement est un nouveau symbole de la bascule qui s'est effectuée ces dernières années entre la finance, mise à mal par la crise dessubprimes, et le high-tech.

Georges-Edouard DIAS's insight:
Reports last December suggested that Google might be planning to launch a new, cheaper version of Glass this year. Intel was said to be supplying the innards, with the updated model also reportedly offering a refreshed design and longer battery life.

Google may not have acquired Twitch as was long rumored, but it looks like it may still be getting into video game streaming in a big way. According to a report from The Daily Dot, Google-owned...
Georges-Edouard DIAS's insight:
Last year, reports surfaced that YouTube was set to acquire Twitch for $1 billion, though the streaming site was eventually snapped up by Amazon for $970 million last August. "Broadcasting and watching gameplay is a global phenomenon," Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said at the time. Since then, Twitch has continued to grow, opening up to new platforms like game consoles, and expanding into new areas including live music. Meanwhile, events like Twitch plays Pokemon have turned into cultural sensations. According to the company's 2014 recap, Twitch now boasts 100 million viewers each month and 1.5 million broadcasters.
