But mostly he keeps the action from Google, which has warned its users against piracy of their gmail box. “Of course this will affect my business. But most important is that Google has reminded surfers their rights, they must protect and defend freedom conveyed by this right to privacy on the Internet … ”

I am also very careful not to use unsecured computers when I open my account. And especially, I change every two or three months my password on gmail … ”

In justifying its refusal to censorship by Chinese piracy gmail, Google has managed a nice shot … Everyone speaks as defender of a free Internet, unlike its rival Yahoo, accused of having allowed the arrest of cyber-dissidents.

# Raymond Domenech: good I liked him at first with his thick eyebrows and communication say “innovative”. But when it becomes systematic, it’s tiring. Especially when we play like feet and with two midfielders against the Faroe Islands. From there to whistle all the time …

# Jean Pierre Pernaut: my favorite, that we walk all over France every lunchtime with a smile for us recount the good old France full of small shoemakers who make shoes balsa at Tendors-not-sur-Yvette. From coconut info.

# The guy that invented the station: Finally especially one who has invented its rates. Paris-Tours in the price of a round trip + hotel in Rome or Moscow in full board-cloth-supplied, it is a chouille too.

# Nicolas Sarkozy 1st: of course it still has more than 38% of French people who support him, but the gentleman did not leave indifferent. We love or hate. Good news, we like less and less. As he could tell himself “the little white man is not enough back in history.”

# PSG: a staggering budget for results at the top a great popularity coast, there is … Here is Paris.

4. To see the remake Johnny Hallyday Stade de France: it’s not that he wants to, but was so afraid to take full teeth for months if we were to make a Michael …

5. To hear well lourdeau “2009, year of the chick” especially since it was fairly true. And smoothly migrate to “2010, a year Peace”. How is it worse?

6. To see Jean Sarkozy to head the UMP, democratically-si-si, and announcing a Lip Dub of Aznavour “I already saw” Together, everything becomes possible.

7. To discover the already famous new Apple tablet that will change the world: yes, yes, Steve Jobs said when you see … That should connect you to the Internet from everywhere, to feed the entire planet, and stop the tsunami. Powerful what.

8. To revel in a year full of promises cinema: one month of January with a new Clint Eastwood and a new Cohen Brothers can be a great year. Although there is also the debut of the cinema Lagaffe. Too bad, it was going well.

9. Quitting smoking at last for the 6th time in 6 years.

10. To see the new version of Topito and say “my God, what a really great site, if only I had the idea to create such, my life would be successful” it just so.

And for you, what are your reasons to spend in 2010?
