Du gris vers la lumière!
Ah.. la douce journée où j’aurai pu officiellement abandonner ma citoyenneté française! non pas renoncer à “être français”, mais ne plus cautionner une force administrative souvent absurde, qui impose une société sans mouvement.
Grise, vide, à l’image de son nouveau gouvernement, c’est ce que la France est devenue: empêtrée dans un magma social dépassé, qui...

Is Apple becoming EVIL?
In the past 2 years, I’ve bought a total of 70 apple products (well not just for myself ;)
Although I despise the expression, I would have been considered a “fanboy”, and would never have let the office suffer the sight of a PC.
Never had problems, but heard countless stories of guys who had stepped on their iPhone and were handed a new one, no questions asked.
