Article à mon avis un peu biaisé ex ante, et qui a mon sens omet deux enjeux que sont : la fidélité de la mesure (j'aimerais savoir de combien un Pulse, un FitBit, et une appli comme Moves divergent en moyenne) d'une part, et l'intégration de ces mesures ou non dans le champ de l'hébergement des données de santé.

Fred Destin has had a big 24 hours. The tech investor said Wednesday he would jump firms, from Atlas Venture in the U.S. to Accel Partners' London office. On Thursday morning, one of his leading investments for Atlas, UK-property listing site Zoopla, announced it would go public.
Good news for Fred, for Accel and for the European start-up scene including LaFrenchTech. Fred has been a great board member at RealEyes3d even in tough times, looking forward to have coffee in Paris any time soon.

Paris- and New York-based Dashlane has raised $22 Million from Bessemer Venture Partners as well as existing investors for their password protection solution, the company announced this week. Born in 2010 as a project by co-founder Bernard Liautaud as Paris engineering school Ecole Centrale de Paris, Dashlane has grown to a service with more than 2 million users, “[enabling] over $1 billion in e-commerce transactions,” as the company points out in their statement about the fundraising.
Very interesting piece written in the bus by @Liam who sat next to me in the bus and picked some of my brain while heading to Orange Institute 12 — Day 1 in Tel Aviv. And congrats anyway to Bernard LIAUTAUD and Emmanuel SCHALIT :)

Les actionnaires du groupe Bouygues monteraient au capital d’Orange. Le projet serait soumis à l’accord des autorités européennes de la concurrence.
.../...
L’Etat, actionnaire à 27 % d’Orange, a plusieurs préoccupations. D’abord, éteindre l’incendie sociale qui semble couver dans les télécoms, en raison d’une vive concurrence par les prix. Bouygues Telecom agite deux épouvantails : un plan de suppression d’emplois qui pourrait toucher 2000 personnes sur un peu moins de 9.000 ; et une guerre des prix dans le fixe qui risque de se traduire elle aussi par des réductions d’effectifs chez tous les opérateurs.
Si Orange avalait Bouygues Telecom, le plan de 2.000 suppressions d’emplois n’aurait plus lieu d’être, explique Sébastien Crozier, à la CFE-CGC d’Orange : « 2.000 emplois, c’est quatre mois d’attrition naturelle chez nous. En gardant ces emplois on ne ferait que retarder de 4 mois le plan de départs d’Orange... et nous serions très contents de voir arriver ces salariés qui rajeuniraient notre pyramide des âges. »
Intéressant...

The Top 10 are comprised of many popular apps/services and account for a combined total of 77%. The remaining 23% percent are accounted for the huge long tail of mobile apps available.

WhatsApp and other messaging services could become the next platforms to reach 1 billion users within a year or two.
But it's more than just free instant messaging that's driving the boom. Really, it's more than even messaging. Like social networks before them, these apps are becoming the hubs for everything global smartphone audiences do on mobile. Messaging apps help people connect with one another, share photos, video chat, and, increasingly — play games, buy digital goods, and even shop offline. It has become a fiercely competitive space, into which Internet giants have poured billions of dollars (including Facebook's $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp).
Messaging Apps as the next social platforms ? Interesting chart putting growth and "market share" (usually you measure market by sales share) in context and across the past 4 years.

Netcraft alluded to the growth in a blog post earlier this month. Netcraft’s most recent survey found that 818 sites jumped from Amazon to DigitalOcean, while 88 sites moved in the other direction.
The company has grown fast. Netcraft’s December 2012 survey put it behind more than 1,500 others in terms of how many web-facing computers it had. Now it’s in 15th place.
All that growth has had an impact on DigitalOcean’s physical infrastructure.
“We were adding four (data center) racks a month in the beginning of the year. Now we’re adding them at a two-day clip,” Mitch Wainer, a cofounder of DigitalOcean and its chief marketing officer, said in an interview with VentureBeat. “It’s really been crazy, and our poor director of operations is losing his mind.”
The company now operates around 6,350 physical servers, up from about 5,000 at the beginning of October, Wainer said. It’s still a tiny fraction of the biggest cloud providers — presumably Amazon, Google, Rackspace, and Microsoft — but clearly, the number is going in the right direction.

Amazon announced on Friday afternoon that it was making available an "AWS Connector for vCenter", which lets admins import management tools for Amazon's cloud directly into an on-premise data center software package made by one of Amazon's rivals.
The AWS Connector for vCenter tech gives VMware administrators a way to buy, manage, and migrate VMs into AWS cloud resources from within VMware's vCenter management console.
vCenter is a widely used piece of software from VMware that lets admins manage large numbers of virtual machines, typically within enterprise data centers.
"If you are already using VMware vCenter to manage your virtualized environment, you will be comfortable in this new environment right away, even if you are new to AWS, starting with the integrated sign-on process, which is integrated with your existing Active Directory," Amazon explains.
"The look-and-feel and the workflow that you use to create new AWS resources will be familiar," they continue, "and you will be launching EC2 instances before too long. You can even import your existing 'golden' VMware images to EC2 through the portal (this feature makes use of VM Import)."

Called the Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration (LLCD) and constructed by a joint team of NASA and MIT engineers, the set-up consists of four laser transmitters at a ground terminal in New Mexico, which send coded infrared light pulses though four different telescopes and up to a lunar satellite384,633 kilometers out into the depths of space. As a result, we now have a data uplink with the Moon that reaches up to 19.44 Mbps. If you live in the United States, that’s about two and a half times more powerful than your standard 7.4 Mbps.
Well, currently enjoying 50 Mb/s upping and 280 Mb/s downlink. And my ping time is certainly better than the minimal 2,56 seconds. Yet I live closer to the US and in a much more dense area ...

It was quite a shock a few weeks ago when Deezer, currently ramping up for a delayed US launch, announced that CEO Axel Dauchez, who has been in this role since co-founder Jonathan Benassaya left at the end of 2010, would be leaving the company in September.
It seemed quite clear that Dauchez had his next gig lined up, and, in an interview with LeFigaro this week, Dauchez announced that he will become President of Publicis France.

LoopPay, the mobile wallet that transmits payment data to magnetic stripe payment card readers, will today announce an Android version of its payment app, which launched on iOS in February. “This is just another step, and we’re taking many steps toward getting more Loop-ready solutions out there,” LoopPay CEO Will Graylin tells us. Currently available as a $39 key fob that pairs with the app, Loop uses a magnetic coil to transmit payment card data. Users simply hold up the fob to a merchant's card reader in order to pay. Soon, a LoopPay iPhone 5/5s charge case will be available, and the company is hoping to convince manufacturers to build Loop’s transmitter into handsets. Still in its early stages, the company numbers its users in the thousands — but Graylin stresses LoopPay's advantage in that virtually all merchants are already equipped to accept LoopPay-powered transactions.
Massive #FinTech disruption ahead.

Rouen-based startup Bunkr has raised €1 Million from IDInvest (led by Matthieu Baret), Daniel Mahrely & Xavier Niel for their collaborative online presentation tool. The company, whose launch we first covered in May 2013, has seen amazing traction in the last 12 months, growing in the first few months to over 35,000 users, thanks largely to their launch and branding as a “Powerpoint Killer” coinciding with Microsoft co-founder & CEO Steve Ballmer’s resignation announcement last year.
Congrats to the Bunkr team. Awaiting Keynote import and SlideShare export :-) And congrats to The Family for such acceleration.

Depuis sa découverte en 2004, qui permit à Andre Geim, chercheur au département de physique de l’université de Manchester, d’obtenir le prix Nobel de physique, le graphène concentre toute l’attention des fabricants de semi-conducteurs. En effet, ce cristal de carbone possède trois propriétés physiques très intéressantes qui le place en première position sur la liste des alternatives au silicium pour la production de puces informatiques...
Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur le potentiel du graphène sans oser le demander... Excellent article qui confirme la prédiction faite par Ron Dennis à la G8 Innovation Conference de Londres l'an dernier : avec le Big Data, le graphène est une des piliers fondamentaux de l'avenir de la High Tech.

XIAOMI DOUBLES ITS MARKET SHARE: Xiaomi shipped 11 million devices in the first quarter of 2014, according to a statement from the company. That amounts to year-over-year growth of 146%, faster growth than any other smartphone vendor globally during the quarter.
Xiaomi's global market share of shipments doubled compared to last year, to 4%. The results have rocketed it into the top rankings, and Xiaomi now numbers among the eight largest smartphone vendors in the world. The growth is impressive and disruptive. Xiaomi began selling handsets just over two years ago and is now larger than legacy vendors like Nokia and Motorola — companies that were recently acquired for $7.2 billion and $3 billion, respectively.
That's more iPhones than Apple sold the weekend the iPhone 5S launched.
