iPad 2 au 36 quai des orfèvres

Bon, vous allez penser que je fais une obsession sur l'iPad 2 (et vous auriez tort : je fais une obsession sur les produits d'Apple en général) mais avouez que je suis poursuivie... Ils sont partout. Et même au 36 quai des orfèvres, qui en perdrait presque de sa sévérité.

Enfin voilà, je n'ai pas encore aller pu voir ce que les Apple store de Paris avaient fait pour les célébrations des 10 ans des magasins Apple, mais j'ai pris ces photos en promenant mon chien ce matin. Paris in the springtime with an iPad, mais que demande le peuple ? Un nouvel iMac 27" !

Apple Store Opening in Paris!

The opening of a retail store near the Louvre draws huge crowds in Paris

Who says Parisians are blasé? Tout Paris, it seems, turned out Saturday morning for the opening of Apple's (AAPL) first retail outlet in France. The video posted below shows lines of shoppers that stretched for blocks.

Planning for the store, located in the Carrousel du Louvre, an upscale shopping mall beneath the Tuileries garden and adjacent to the museum, began more than two years ago. A second store in Montpelier was actually ready before this one, but its opening was postponed, according to ifoAppleStore, in deference to the City of Lights.

Finaly, Apple Store arrives in Paris!

Apple has issued the city of Paris (France) a formal announcement of its future Carrousel du Louvre retail store, with a storefront construction barricade banner that features a graphic design based on iPod colors and its circular control wheel. The banner graphic also has elements of the huge glass pyramid that sits above the underground visitor entrance to the Louvre art museum, which is adjacent to the future store.

Tipsters first identified the location in mid-2007, and Apple executives confirmed the store earlier this year. But this new banner is the first on-site acknowledgement of the store. As reported by the MacPlus Web site, the banner graphic that just appeared bears a single-word greeting to Parisians: “Soon.” According to previous statements by Apple executives, the store will open before year’s end.

Journée Internationale des Femmes et drôles de rencontres sur les réseaux sociaux....

Après le Pape sur Facebook , Barack Obama sur Twitter et les sénateurs Americains sur YouTube, je viens de trouver la Mairie de Paris sur LinkedIn. Enfin une partie du staff pour le moment... pourquoi seulement ceux là est une autre question.
En fait je cherchais le programme de Paris pour la Journée Internationale des Femmes (le 8 mars 2009) car la mairie de mon arrondissement venait de m'envoyer leur newsletter qui incluait leur programme pour l'occasion. Mais rien encore sur le site de la mairie mère... Bon ils ont encore 3 semaines pour réparer ça!
En attendant, voilà le site international et le site francais.

ENGLISH After the Pope on FaceBook, Barack Obama on Twitter and the US Senate on YouTube, I just found that Paris City Hall is on LinkedIn. Why only part of the staff is listed on the account is another question! In fact I was looking for Paris's agenda for International Women's Day (March 8, 2009) as the Mairie of my arrondissement had just sent me their newsletter including their agenda for that day. However nothing to be found on the mothership site. I guess they still have 3 weeks to fix this! In the mean time, here is a link to the official site.
