I’ve been flying a fair bit in the US and came accross inflight wifi few tmes. I never could justify paying for it. Now that I have a job that requires to be always on, it starts to make more sense. However, it is still expensive, priced at $10 per [...]
The French government has a long history of using speed as a pretext to tax consumers. Close to 0 tolerance on speed limits, fixed speed cameras with automatic billing (you have to pay before you can defend yourself, removing your rights of innocence until proven guilty) and more. Wednesday, the [...]
Alright, so there has been a lot of complaints from Symbian. Most of it is down to Nokia’s lack of UI/UX leadership and execution, but that’s what most of the consumers see and complain about. So let’s NOT talk about that, shall we? What am interested in right now, is [...]
Finns and scandinavians will be familiar with that concept. Plunging into freezing water after spending 20mins at 120 degrees in Sauna is a good way to tighten the body and wake up the mind. This is pretty much what I went through as I got pushed of the burning platform [...]
With Nokia Capital Market day tomorrow, the market has been going nuts over Nokia’s potential announcements. I have been called and emailed by many analysts seeking for answers and understanding. In the past 5 years actively following the mobile market, I have rarely seen such a level of noise on [...]
2010 is dead, long live 2010. I spent the last 3 weeks in the remoteness of the French Alps disconnecting myself from most industries. Perfect place I needed to reflect and spend time with my loved ones. Last year was definitely a challenging one but brought so much opportunities. Starting [...]
Last week, I was heading to an event near Regent Street. I ended up witnessing Prince Charles’s car being attacked by students. I was fast enough to get my N8 out of my pocket and shoot the escape. I posted that video on Youtube and sent it to the Guardian. [...]

{EAV:11cff48be37d1a0c} It’s been crazy at the Campus Party and I’ve had an amazing time! I was last night at the “Geeks on Beer” event, listening to investors, startups and entrepreneurs discussing about the Brazilian market, the challenges and opportunities.

Since I got to São Paulo on Monday, I’ve been diving deep in the Campus Party. It’s been really fun and I’ve started to feel like a Campusero myself. But it hasn’t been that easy… Let’s rewind and look at how things went! I got to the venue on [...]Once again, I am lucky to spend time with bright people sharing their passion of Technology, Innovation with maybe a bit of geekyness So what is the Campus Party?

When I joined Nokia back in 2007, I had never done much of public speaking and was for sure not looking for that kind of role. After 2 years working on products, I was lucky enough to be brought to Mobile World Congress to be on the floor, “selling” the [...]
Kevin Energy was playing his last set at Sade last night. Had an amazing time with the guys as usual. Hard to explain the feeling, and am sure this video will not give the full picture.If someone knows about pushing the limits, it is Jeb Corliss. His dream has been to land a wingsuit without parachute. He has been practicing flying and has done amazing videos, pushing the envelope. Today the bucket of luck emptied dramatically. Jeb was jumping in Cape Town, at the Table [...]If 5 years ago, someone would have told me that they were building a new mobile operator in France, I would have though they were crazy.
