De la nécessité d’investir plus dans la technologie de rupture - Datanews.be: "L’Europe doit investir davantage dans la technologie innovante (‘disruptive’) et moins dans la recherche incrémentale. 'En ne changeant pas nos habitudes, nous n’y arriverons pas', a déclaré Wim De Waele lors de l’IBBT Nocturne dans le cadre de l’ITEA & Artemis Co-summit à Gand.

The future of Desktop PC User Interfaces (UIs) ?

"On the desktop, application windows will disappear for full screen display and context navigation menus".

This is my prediction. My daily use of smartphones, tablets and desktops shows me a big difference between devices. On the Desktop you work with windows, while on the other devices windows don't exist.

When I browse the web with Firefox on mu PC I often switch to "Full Screen" and in order to access the browser functions I need to go back to normal. I believe in the future, context menus will come in the middle of the screen, making it unnesseray to look for the window frame, just like when you go full-screen on youtube you can move in the movie or when you touch your smartphone.

Visit Museums with your Tablet/eReader : La Maison du Roi in Brussels

If you have

• a tablet (like an iPad, a Samsung Galaxy Tab, an Archos, a Chinese aPad...)
• an ereader (Kindle, Irex,...) 

when you go to the museum, take the time to browse the museum website before your visit.

For example, The museum of the Maison du Roi located on the 'Grand Place' of Brussels proposes a nice "Educational game" ("jeu-parcours")  for kids aged 6-8, 9-12 and Adults. You can download the game in PDF (FR) (EN) (NL) on the website of the museum. The museum is about Brussels and hosts the wardrobe of Manneken-Pis.

Concerning the game, kids really like to have a look at the tablet, read the question than walk in the museum to find the answer. An App could make it much more interactive, for checking the answers for example... Something similar was presented at the AppsMarathon (MovieQuizz)

With your tablet, you can better prepare yourself and learn new things before, during and after your visit...

Did you know Mannekenpis is only one of 4 fontains around the Grand-Place of Brussels ?

An attempt to make Archimate diagrams more "non ITers friendly"

I have noticed some users are a bit afraid when they see the Archimate Notation.

This is a fisrt attempt to make it look easier...

It's just a start for the Business Layer (Business Functions is still missing, though).
