Smartphones fail to displace Minitel among French dairy farmers
Author: Antonio Pierce
As France’s 30-year-old Minitel network prepares to say its final digital au revoir on Saturday, the New York Times reveals one group which will be particularly hard hit by the shutdown — Breton dairy farmers. Having been adopted in the ’80s and ’90s as a way to track prices and keep in touch with the agricultural authorities, the proto-internet service still has a hard core of roughly 2,500 users in the region. Although developers of farming tools for the system have long since switched to smartphones and tablets, just a “few dozen” of the new devices are currently in use — as one farmer puts it, “I’m not very ‘Internet.’” Head over to the NYT to find out why the Minitel has proved so useful to this odd band of early-adopters, and…

Associate Professor Evil Kills All Gold Farmers
Author: admin
Snag Oxhorn’s music from iTunes: itunes.apple.com Associate Professor Evil has no use for the key to the city of Orgrimmar, and so he and Barnaby must come up with a new plan to harness great power! This movie placed second in the Action / Adventure category during the Blizzcon 2007 Machinima Contest. Here are the lyrics to the credits song: www.bloggingwithclass.com Here is the movie script: www.bloggingwithclass.com Here is my account of Blizzcon 2007: www.bloggingwithclass.com Note: I have received a bit of confusion concerning my mention of Mark Jacobs in the movie. Some think that when the gold farmer said that Jacobs sucks that I think Jacobs sucks, which is not the case at all. I like Mark Jacobs. I had a gold farmer say that; and Associate Professor Evil slapped him for doing so. I played Dark Age of Camelot for nearly two years and loved every moment of it, so I have great respect for Mark Jacobs and his stance on gold farming. Which is why I had the shout-out in the movie. It is only natural that gold farmers would hate him though, which is why my character said what he did. But he got his just rewards!
