I wish you all fellow readers a very warm happy new year, may this year bring you all you wished for whether a better job, more time, a fun vacation, a girlfriend, a family, … !!!
As you have seen this blog has been running slow for I guess most the year 2008 with about 15 real posts. Running a family and a company leaves little to no time for everything else which has to includes sports, hobby, rest and more ! So that has to explain it !
So for this year I’ll continue sharing the best posts I read on Google Reader, and also try to add a few more articles on home networking and N810 among other things. Because some experience I have at work are hard to translate but surely interesting to share, I may write some posts in French, making this blog bi-lingual for the first time in its history … YEAH 
So once again Happy New Year/Bonne et Heureuse Année 2009 ! And see you soon on this blog/Et à très bientôt sur ce blog.
Dell is now using the same methods than Apple is to sell its products on the European market.
Apple is famously known here in Europe for applying an exchange rate of 1$ = 1€, whatever the real one is ! Despites the result in a (relatively) much higher price on the European market, Apple has won big shares, and some of us are big fans
I just discovered that Dell is applying the exact same principle. Look at their new desktop called Studio Hybrid, and how much they are sold for in the US and in France :
Yes, you are reading right, the exact same machines are sold for the exact same numbers … The only difference is the currency tag 
I still cannot understand the theory behind that. If you look at exchange rates between the Euro and the Dollar today, those machine could be sold in Europe for something as low as 320€, and they totally work in the path of the EEPC, or other ultra-portable machines that some of us could use to plug as a media center in the living room. I guess that the design of this machine makes the price, but anyhow, it still pretty strange !
Any ideas out there why not applying a more understandable exchange rate ?
Thanks to the friends out there, and some good old fashion lunch break, I noticed my FeedBurner feed was broken.
The problem was a side effect of the 2.5 move, and of the following wordpress bug.
So now you will should all the N810 news
See ya !
