Here is the first electric flying car, it will arrive in 2025 and will cost 300,000 euros



The flying car has long been part of the collective imagination: from Back to the future has Star Trek Passing by Harry Potter, Blade Runner And The fifth Element, all these films made us dream by showing absolutely incredible cars, with which it was possible to move through the air. A society in which we all travel aboard these flying machines has been dreamed of for several decades now. In 1917, a man named Glenn Curtis first materialized this idea with his Autoplane, a flying car which, although it ultimately performed what amounted to large jumps rather than a long full flight, still had the merit of representing for the first time what these cars of tomorrow could look like.

A flying car “like in the movies”?

This year, it was finally a Californian company, called Alef Aeronautics, which presented its version of the flying car. This could then become the first successful flying car model, since the company has already announced that the first prototypes will be delivered to customers at the end of 2025. However, if the first images of this car are enticing and seem to show a car truly moving in the air, the president of the Alef Aeronautics company, Jim Dukhovny, expresses certain reservations about a truly long flight. “The driver will use the vehicle like a car, and will leap over obstacles when necessary,” he explains. This exceptional car should therefore not meet all of our wildest expectations, but would still be a real first step towards the construction of machines of this type.

This Model A is a flying electric car, capable of carrying one or two people, and almost resembling a drone, thanks to its propellers. It would have a range of 320 kilometers on the road, while it should be able to fly for 177 kilometers. This innovative technology, however, comes at a price, since the Model A costs no less than $300,000, or roughly the same amount in euros, taxes included. Not everyone will therefore be able to immediately experience this unique transport experience.

First public flight demonstrations coming soon

For the moment, no video revealing the machine in flight has been presented, even though the company claims to have been testing the capabilities of its product since 2019. However, this does not prevent the company from obtaining approval from authorities, since it recently received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration, which is none other than the government agency responsible for regulations and controls concerning civil aviation in the United States. Thanks to this precious authorization, the Model A can now legally fly in dedicated airspace, which represents a giant step in the history of flying cars since it is the first time that this right has been granted to a car fully electric steering wheel. This also confirms that the first flights can indeed take place in 2025 and that the first public flight demonstrations will be held soon. More than 440 people have already booked to have the chance to live this unique experience.

Even if the time when the whole of society will move in the air still seems far away, the imminent arrival of this flying car, just like the recent Air Scooter, presented at Vivatech and which should see the light of day in 2024, therefore leaves presage an ever more high-tech and innovative future. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding this machine, since its specific technical capabilities are still unknown (the president of the company Mr. Dukhovny, however, suggested that the car could not, for its first versions, reach high speeds), and that the regulation of these cars which could soon crisscross the sky is still too vague. Indeed, this car is currently designed to take off in an urban environment (for example when the streets of a city are congested, to avoid slowing down), the question of air traffic therefore remains unresolved.

Tom Cruise advises you to go see these 3 films competing with Mission Impossible 7 at the cinema



Nothing is impossible for Tom Cruise. The Hollywood actor, who has made it his mission to save movie theaters from bankruptcy and encourage people to go to theaters to see the latest feature films, takes his role very seriously. This honorary role of “savior of cinema”, which director Steven Spielberg himself attributed to him thanks to the resounding success of Top Gun: Maverick, is particularly close to his heart. In this sense, Tom Cruise has tried, through his films, to offer ever more interesting cinematic experiences for the public, in order to encourage them to break away from streaming services and go to cinemas .

The protagonist of the sagas Impossible mission And Top Gun goes even further in this project, going so far as to promote and recommend three films to see at the cinema this summer, even though they will enter into direct competition with the film in which he plays the main role, Mission: Impossible 7, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 12. The 60-year-old actor thus positions himself almost as a film critic, and, after having highly recommended a superhero film currently in theaters, he did not hesitate to give his opinion on another long-awaited release. Tom Cruise surprised everyone by promoting the cult adventure saga Indiana Jonesincluding the last part entitled Indiana Jones and the Clock of Destiny was unveiled last Wednesday in cinemas. The American actor thus congratulated Harrison Ford for his interpretation of the adventurer Indy, and for his longevity (more than 40 years!) in the skin of one of the most iconic characters in the history of cinema.

RoomAlive: The controller is you and the screen is your living room



RoomAlive is a concept prototype that envisages the future of interaction with gaming and projection of the virtual environment. Clearly, RoomAlive aims to transform our living rooms into real augmented reality zones using video projectors.

Players will be able to touch, shoot, dodge, and stomp on projections that will be synchronized with real physical movements. Microsoft based its research on their old IllumiRoom project which explored interaction with projections around the television and which allowed us to play not only with our TV but also with the entire wall behind it. Currently the RoomAlive team is looking at how the system itself works but also at the new types of games that will emerge with the marketing of this project.

As for the beast, it consists of a Kinect sensor, a computer and wide field of vision projectors called PROCAM. You will still need six to cover all the surfaces.

For most projections, the content must be carefully created because RoomAlive must take into account the shape and color of each object in the room, the location of the projectors, the field of view and many other parameters as everything is processed in real time and dynamically.

For example RoomAlive can automatically detect the floor and ceiling of your living room. But RoomAlive will not only detect your room but also your body and your movements without forgetting your head which will allow it to calculate the perspective angle of the projection in relation to the user. This will give us a 3D effect depending on our viewing angle.

(lien_img=/news-img/roomalive9-1415114430.jpg)

Software that detects your living room environment still requires designer support, but in the future, RoomAlive will benefit from auto-calibration and auto-localization in each PROCAM. That is to say that we will just have to install the PROCAMs like classic lighting fixtures and presto, our entire living room will be detected and all we have to do is play.

Like the rest of the series, The Idol’s ending really makes no sense



That’s it, it’s finished. After five episodes, The Idol, Sam Levinson and Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye’s creation about the sordid workings of Hollywood, has come to an end. In a haze of cigarette smoke, the sordid story of Jocelyn and Tedros Tedros came to a depressing end, but not without one last big twist. The object at the center of this fifth act revelation? A brown hairbrush.

When The Idol was in its third episode, many viewers had been turned off by what appeared to be a vague storyline interrupted by lengthy, un___y ___ scenes. During a dinner with Tedros, his sidekicks and Xander, a former child star who became Jocelyn’s creative director, the latter reveals the abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother. She details the bruises and welts caused by the blows with a hairbrush she received from her father.

After Tedros scolds a visibly uncomfortable Xander for not intervening to help Jocelyn, he asks her to bring him the hairbrush before spanking her repeatedly in front of his circle of friends. disciples. With meaningless statements such as “If you get through the pain, it will be beautiful,” we are led to believe that Jocelyn has found a way to turn her trauma into power, while ultimately being broken by the tested method of coercion and proven by Tedros.

When the series finale arrives two episodes later, things aren’t going so well at Camp Tedros. After Xander revealed Jocelyn’s villainy through torture, she discovered that her meeting with Tedros had been orchestrated by Dyanne (Jennie Ruby Jane). Jocelyn then turns against Tedros. Stealing his power and his disciples, she succeeds in ousting him from her life with the help of a tasty check for 500,000 dollars and a crackdown in the press. As she prepares to take the stage for her long-awaited world tour, Tedros is nothing more than a broken shell of a man with nothing left to his name and who is the target of Jocelyn’s label henchmen .

Big Red Boots, Louis Vuitton micro-bag… Here are the 5 craziest products imagined by MSCHF



Crazy products, every brand has a few in stock. The American label MSCHF has made it its business. By browsing the website of the New York group, a virtual journey between sweet follies and eccentricities is offered to us. It was in 2016 that the art collective launched under the name MSCHF Product Studio, Inc. Four years later, the team released its first product: The Persistence of Chaos, a laptop loaded with six notorious malware for doing a lot of damage in the past of computing. Since then, dozens of creations have made him famous worldwide. Here are 5 of the craziest ones.

The orthopedic walking boot

This is the first orthopedic walking shoe that has no medical purpose… On October 19, 2022, the MSCHF collective launched its AC.1 sneaker which is inspired by the famous support boot. The latter has been reworked to remove its uncomfortable appearance and make it worthy of a haute couture product. Thanks to its padded insole and robust outsole, it can be worn every day like any pair of Adidas or New Balance!

Astro Boy’s boots

It’s probably the sneaker that has had the biggest success on social networks. When we talk about success we talk about both admiration and incomprehension. Its XXL boots are directly inspired by the 50s cartoon character Astro Boy. Since “democratized”, the Big Red Boots are also available in white, yellow and most recently even black.

The Louis Vuitton micro-bag

The smallest bag in the world… Recently, MSCHF made the rounds on social networks again with its reproduction of the Louis Vuitton OnTheGo bag in a tiny version. And for good reason, with its dimensions smaller than a grain of rice (657 by 222 by 700 micrometers), it does not even fit on the little finger! At auction, it still sold for $63,000.

Pay inequality: from this Monday 11:35 a.m., French women work for free



Published on November 6, 2023 at 8:14 a.m.Updated November 6, 2023 at 8:15 a.m.

Ladies, after this date, you are no longer paid. From 11:25 a.m. this Monday, November 6, women in France work “for free”, according to the newsletter “Les Glorieuses” which fights against inequalities between the ___es. The pay gap noted by Eurostat in France between men and women was 15.4% in 2021. Converted into working days, this would be equivalent to just under 39 days – or almost two months of free work, according to the feminist media.

This year, the latter is calling for the implementation of three public policies: applying the principle of equality of conditionality, that is to say making access to public markets and obtaining public subsidies conditional on compliance with equal pay within its structure. ; increase wages in jobs where women are most numerous; support equivalent parental leave for both parents.

Nuance Insee

In this battle of figures, INSEE paints a more nuanced portrait. “In the private sector, we have to keep three figures, quite different from each other, but generally consistent,” explains Vladimir Passeron, head of the employment and labor income department at the National Institute of Statistics. and economic studies.

The wage income gap of 24.4% between men and women reflects not only differences in salaries, but also differences in working hours. Women are four times more likely to work part-time, whether this situation is chosen or forced, and are also more often on fixed-term contracts, with potentially periods of unemployment.

“In full-time equivalent net salary, which we consider as a single work unit, women’s salaries remain 15% lower than those of men,” explains Vladimir Passeron. “Above all, this shows that women do not occupy the same positions as men, and do not access the most remunerative positions. » Thus, among the 1% of highest paid employees in the private sector, only one person in five is a woman.

Finally, for comparable positions and equal working hours, the salary gap narrows to reach 4.3%. But seniority in the company, level of diploma or even professional experience are not taken into account in the calculation, even though they are essential elements for defining an employee’s remuneration.

95% of secretaries are women

Thus, women suffer a triple penalty: they do not occupy the same positions within companies, are not in the most remunerative companies, nor in the most lucrative sectors. For example, 95% of secretaries are women, with relatively low salaries compared to the rest of the company.

“In France, women represent 90.4% of nurses, 87.7% of midwives and 65.7% of teaching staff. These professions of care and education, very feminized, have been crucial in recent years for France (Covid crisis) and these professions are essential to maintaining our social cohesion”, argue “Les Glorieuses”.

Domestic economic violence

How can we reduce these gaps? “Measures against part-time work, when it is forced, are a lever that can be used, as can the distribution of the best paid positions – even if it is more difficult to encourage companies to diversify their missions », analyzes Vladimir Passeron. . “This can also be done through training, but it’s about having a long-term influence. »

However, paying women correctly would protect them from domestic economic violence, according to a study conducted by “Les Glorieuses” with Ifop. Control of resources, invisibility of financial management, refusal to share in the event of separation… more than four out of 10 women will be victims of it during their lives.And, according to this survey, women are twice as likely to suffer from it. be victims if their remuneration is much lower than that of their partner.

Take 2 reserves the possibility of a GTA HD Collection



Do you like remakes? No? Editors love them. Just a few days before the release of GTA V on next-gen, Take Two says they have no current plans to consolidate all the episodes of GTA for an HD release, but when the question is asked, they don’t say no for the future. Strauss Zelnick confided during the last financial report:

We are not ruling out anything. This will be decided by the market as we perceive it and the potential to provide a quality product. And it might as well be decided by the passion of our labels, Rockstar and 2k.

Our labels are driven by the desire to please consumers and fuel their creative passion, it’s a formula that has worked extraordinarily well for this company over the last 7 years. We have no obligation to do this, other than our job is to make players ecstatic, to make the best games on the market, and to make sure the best talent in the industry wants work at home.

When asked about the delay in the release of the PC version, Zelnick answers :

When we delay a title it’s almost always the same response, this gives us more development time to make sure everything works as expected. And while we’d prefer to never change the release date, this has proven to be the right choice for us overall. We have the highest Metacritic scores in the industry, and that aligns with our revenues, and obviously, our profits.

Nothing has been decided regarding the release of such a collection, but nothing has been ruled out either. The ball seems to be in the court of the players who, if they ask for this type of product, could well end up getting it.

Would you be interested in a GTA HD collection?

We are recruiting at Polyphony Digital



If the start of construction Gran Turismo 7 was more or less officially announced by Polyphony Digital (we have no media to date), its development could be accelerated by the hiring of new talents from the Japanese studio. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has just published a note where several positions are to be filled in the company headed by Kazunori Yamauchi.

They are looking for “ CG Artists, Technical Artists, Software Engineers, Tools Engineers“, to certainly enlarge the ranks of PolyphonyDigital. Let’s be clear, hiring new people remains a natural process in a studio, but it at least has the merit of getting a little talk about the series at a time when the only official information we have still revolves around updates of Gran Turismo 6.

So, we start dreaming of a potential announcement during the PlayStation Experience next December. That would be a nice surprise, wouldn’t it?

Who is Ahed Tamimi, the young Palestinian arrested by the Israeli army in the occupied West Bank?



The Israeli army announced on Monday the arrest, during a raid in the occupied West Bank, of activist Ahed Tamimi, 22, “suspected of inciting violence and terrorist activities”. As a teenager, she became an icon for Palestinians after being imprisoned for eight months by Israel for beating soldiers in her village in the occupied West Bank in 2017.

The Israeli army announced on Monday, November 6, the arrest of activist Ahed Tamimi, a global icon of resistance against the occupation and Israeli repression in the Palestinian Territories.

The 22-year-old activist is “suspected of inciting violence and terrorist activities,” an army spokesperson told AFP. According to the same source, the young woman “was apprehended in the town of Nabi Saleh. She was transferred to Israeli security forces for further questioning.”

Ahed Tamimi was arrested during an Israeli army raid “aimed at apprehending individuals suspected of being involved in terrorist activities and incitement to hatred” in the northern occupied West Bank, the spokesperson added. -speech. -speech.

Since the start of the war triggered on October 7 by the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, Israeli security forces have carried out mass arrests of Palestinians suspected of violence, of inciting violence or of belonging to Hamas.

Asked by AFP about the reasons for this arrest, a source from the security services sent an Instagram publication which circulated widely on social networks. The text, attributed to the young activist, promises very violent and explicit terms to “massacre” Israelis “in all the cities of the West Bank, from Hebron to Jenin”, referring in particular to Hitler, according to the screenshot of a publication in Arabic and Hebrew transmitted by the army to the AFP.

As of Monday, the account cited in this screenshot was inaccessible. AFP was not immediately able to verify whether this account really belonged to Tamimi.

“They accuse her of having published a post inciting violence, but Ahed did not write it,” assures her mother Narimane Tamimi to AFP. “There are dozens of pages in Ahed’s name and with her photo but with which she has no connection. Ahed, when she tries to open an account on social networks, it is immediately blocked,” she continues.

Flag bearer of the Palestinian cause

Ahed Tamimi, whose giant portrait is painted on the Israeli separation wall in the occupied West Bank in the Bethlehem area, became world famous at a young age after being involved in a series of incidents with Israeli soldiers.

In 2012, images showing her brandishing an angry fist under the noses of Israeli soldiers went around the world and earned her a welcome from Recep Tayyip Erdogan, then Turkish Prime Minister.

Three years later, in the summer of 2015, the young activist with long blond hair and azure eyes appeared in photos among women helping a little boy with a cast arm, his little brother, pinned to the ground by an Israeli soldier.

But it was in December 2017 that she acquired great notoriety, after her arrest for having slapped two Israeli soldiers in the small courtyard of the family home in Nabi Saleh, her native village in the occupied West Bank. President Mahmoud Abbas then personally praised his courage.

The incident, in which his cousin Nour Tamimi was also involved, occurred on the sidelines of sometimes violent protests against the American decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The video showing impassive soldiers confronting Ahed Tamimi, filmed by her mother and broadcast live on Facebook, quickly went viral. It spreads on both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli sites, until it is relayed in the media.

If the supporters of the standard bearer of the Palestinian cause flood social networks with the hashtags #FreeAhed (“#FreeAhed”), his Israeli detractors denounce for their part “the provocations” of the young woman, which according to them aim to humiliate the soldiers .

Even the Israeli political class got involved, like Naftali Bennett, then Israeli Minister of Education and representative of the national religious camp, who publicly expressed the wish that Ahed Tamimi end “his life in prison “.

The West Bank being a territory militarily occupied by Israel, she is judged, like all Palestinians who reside there, before a military tribunal. Following a “guilty plea” agreement, Ahed Tamimi was sentenced to eight months in prison. After her release in July 2018, she received a hero’s welcome in her native village in the occupied West Bank.

Resistance as a legacy

“Ahed Tamimi never remained silent,” underlined, in 2018, Jean-Sébastien Letang, member of the French NGO Plateforme pour la Palestine. She embodies the new face of Palestinian resistance, that of an entire youth anchored in a territory, freed from any political label. »

Before her detention, the young girl, who dreams of becoming a lawyer to defend her cause, explained in a video posted online in February 2017 that the occupation prevented her from thinking about her future. To reverse the trend, she saw only one thing to do: “Resist, through demonstrations, but also through the media. »

Ahed Tamimi did not fall into activism by chance. His father, Bassem Tamimi, is a long-time and well-known peaceful activist in Nabi Saleh, whose residents are very involved in the fight against the Israeli occupation.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare: Xbox One still behind


The information was kept secret until the last minute, but we now know the resolution of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on PS4… and especially Xbox One! This is Michael Condrey, the co-founder of the studio Sledgehammer Games which specified that its title will run in 1080p on PS4, but at times in a lower resolution for its main competitor.

“The resolution on Xbox One is 1360×1080, and dynamically upscaled to 1080p. This represents 50% more than last year. On PS4, the game runs natively at 1080p and 60fps is achieved on both consoles.

For memory, Call of Duty: Ghosts only displayed 720p on One but ran at 1080p on PS4. The gap has now partly closed, but the two versions are therefore not yet identical. At this rate, parity will perhaps be for the next opus…

In any case, you can buy Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare today in an official way, and whether on PS4, Xbox One or PC, don’t forget that the main thing is to have fun with the controller (or mouse) in hand!

We ranked all the Mission Impossible films, from worst to best



Over the years, Impossible mission has established itself as the most constant and enjoyable saga born in Hollywood. From episode to episode, the franchise led with an iron fist by Tom Cruise has never ceased to amaze us with its breathtaking intrigues and its spectacular stunts (a large majority of which are carried out by the actor-star , At his own risk). Where James Bond has regularly experienced weak times during his long eventful history, the journey of Impossible mission approach flawless.

7. Mission: Impossible 2

Budget : $125 million
Worldwide box office : $549 million
Where to see it : on VOD

Four years after the success of the first opus, Tom Cruise and Impossible mission return with a highly anticipated second opus. Entrusted to Hong Kong director John Woo, Mission: Impossible 2 is a perfect summary of what an early 2000s blockbuster could look like. For better and (too) often for worse. Epileptic montage stuffed with clippesque slow motion, clumsy romanticism and a horrible nu metal rereading of the musical theme by Limp Bizkit: this second part looks like the perfect parody of what Impossible mission represented. Even if Tom Cruise, of all things, climbs a cliff with his bare hands and wants to prove to us that Impossible mission don’t make fun of us with the show. Despite incendiary reviews, the film was a hit in 2000, rising to the top of the most lucrative productions of that year, ahead of Gladiator by Ridley Scott and Alone in the world by Robert Zemeckis.

6. Mission: Impossible 3

Budget : 150 million dollars
Worldwide box office : $398 million
Where to see it : on Paramount+ and MyCanal

Monthly updates on One take a holiday at Christmas



Microsoft intends not to stop in its momentum of improvements for the Xbox One. The now famous monthly updates that took place in 2014 will therefore continue in 2015 after a short break during the Christmas period, as confirmed by the director of the Xbox division, Phil Spencer.

We’re not used to doing big updates in December. It’s a time of year when a lot of gamers will turn on their console for the first time, play games for the first time. Traditionally we stay away during November/December. However, we have announced an update for November this year. But in December we’re going to let people turn on their consoles and play while being sure that everything works well. This is our priority.

When we arrive in 2015, we will clearly have a schedule of monthly updates. When we resume, we will observe. We’re working hard on these things, but it’s a commitment we have as a platform development team.

This month’s update should bring, among other things, personalized wallpapers, more detailed profiles and even video sharing via Twitter.

And you, what do you think of the pace of updates on the Microsoft console?

updated Nov 6, 23 at 10:47 a.m.

See my news

A threatening email was sent to Gandhi College and to Joan of Arc Collegein Fougeres (Ille-et-Vilaine) this Monday, November 6.

They report the presence of a bomb in each of these two establishments.

Immediately, management made clear out the people present.

There police was warned and came to secure the surroundings of the two colleges to which access was obviously forbidden until further notice, time to remove doubts about the presence, or not, of an explosive device.

In total, more than 900 students and around sixty teachers are involved.

At the Guéhenno vocational high school too

The Jean-Guéhenno vocational high school in Ferns was also targeted by a threatening email.

The students of the establishment were transferred to the general high school, a few hundred meters next door.

The police intervened on the spot. Once the doubts are resolved, the students can return to the vocational high school.

They risk big

Since mid-October, bomb threats have multiplied in France, in schools, museums and airports.

Each time, these were false alarms. The perpetrators of these tasteless jokes run great risks.

The fact of communicating or disclosing false information with the aim of making people believe that destruction, damage or deterioration dangerous to people is going to be or has been committed is punishable by two years’ imprisonment and 30,000 euros in fines. ‘fine. ‘GOOD

Here are the 8 best G-Shock watches to wear in all circumstances



The beginnings of the G-Shock brand date back to 1981, when Japanese engineers Kikuo Ibe and Yuichi Masuda developed a major project: that of creating the most resistant watch ever seen. This had, among other things, to withstand an underwater pressure of 10 bars or to operate for a certain time without the need for battery replacement. It was finally in 1983 that the project was completed and G-Shock was officially born.

This year, the brand is celebrating its 40th anniversary, years during which it has been able to develop. And if the model imagined by the two engineers remains at the origin of everything, G-Shock now has many other variations and special editions to its credit which have enriched the collection. Finally, these timepieces, not content with evolving in terms of design, are also equipped with ever more advanced functionalities, ranging from integrated barometric sensors to a display of tide graphs, including step counters. G-Shock thus positions itself as a true leader in sports and outdoor watches. To accompany the arrival of sunny days, here are the 8 best G-Shock watches for men, to wear in all circumstances.

The 8 best G-Shock watches according to GQ

This G-Shock DW-H5600 is perfect for athletes: in addition to sporting a discreet design and being portable in all circumstances thanks to its thinness and lightness, this watch is above all a real connected object, allowing obtain lots of useful data for athletes. Its optical sensor located on the bottom of the case offers the possibility of analyzing data from 4 different activities: walking, running, indoor training and interval training. The intensity of training, heart rate and even the measurement of calories burned are studied with this timepiece, thus promising advanced sporting expertise.
Price: 279 euros

The G-Shock MRG-BF1000R displays a design largely inspired by another flagship model of the brand, the Fogman diving watch. This watch has a robust case, a titanium bezel and has the asymmetrical shape specific to the Frogman, with an offset of the case to the left, which allows greater freedom of movement. Like the Frogman, it is perfect for venturing underwater, since it is waterproof up to 200 meters and, thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity, it records the data of dives carried out. Finally, the G-Shock MRG-Frogman is dressed in black on the dial, case and bracelet, while the indexes and hands are blue, gold and white.
Price: 5000 euros

In Mission Impossible 7, the indestructible Tom Cruise is afraid of nothing except the future



At the very beginning of Top Gun: Maverick, the ultra-lucrative sequel to Tony Scott’s film released in 2022, the hierarchical superior of the hero played by Tom Cruise warned him. Intrepid pilots of his species, the hotheads of the air, were on the verge of extinction, threatened by the increasingly ruthless competition of technology. Soon they would be replaced by machines, cold and devoid of all emotion, systematically obeying the orders given to them. A pessimistic forecast to which Pete “Maverick” Mitchell then responded with his characteristic casualness: “Perhaps so, sir, but not today”. This short exchange, over-commented on and analyzed by a good number of journalists as an obvious echo of the career of Tom Cruise and his constantly contested aura, made us smile but also reflected a certain anxiety in the superstar, that of a future on which he has no control over.

Faced with the growing place given to algorithms and other artificial intelligence in the creative space, what would happen to those who, like the actor, have tried all their lives to keep intact the brilliance of the cinema with which they were born? ? Top Gun: Maverick, more melancholic than brazen, did not rule on this question. But Joseph Kosinski’s film employed all its striking force in the idea that, for there to be belief in cinema, there must be an almost supernatural investment of its artisans in their creation – multiplying the cascades and the high aerobatics, in search of the kinetic thrill, was the illustration of this. That at the time of superheroic franchises, canned at the same rate as a can at the factory, the spectator could only see the difference in the face of the diktat of the green screen and the infectious digital rejuvenation. The gamble had paid off but perhaps its success had only been based on the nostalgic joy of spectators at rediscovering a cinema that many felt had been buried for a long time. Something romantic for some, puritanical for others, both joyful and perfectly anachronistic.

Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, the seventh part of the saga, confirms what we previously glimpsed about Tom Cruise. Already, the actor remains insatiable, as if transcended by the acquisition of this new status of “savior of Hollywood” awarded by Steven Spielberg himself. The sharp turnaround at the end of the 2000s and the few barrels during the following decade now seem like distant memories. Also, although he tries to make us believe the opposite, like the good conjurer he has become, time has a hold on him. Now aged 61, the all-powerful producer of the spy franchise is working, within the story that transformed him into a Hollywood icon, a second narrative thread which now takes up all the space in this new film: that of a hero who has run out of enemies, having no choice but to fight with himself or almost invisible threats. In 2013, oblivion already orchestrated the fight between Tom Cruise and his clone. Ten years later, Tom Cruise is pursuing a faceless enemy, a demiurgic power called The Entity. This has no form, only a mercenary at its service, and anticipates each of the moves imagined by agent Ethan Hunt and his acolytes.

The Rolex watch worn by Roger Federer at Wimbledon is one of the most beautiful of 2023



Roger Federer caused a sensation at Wimbledon on Tuesday July 4. The tournament wanted to pay tribute to him by inviting him to the Royal Box, alongside the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton. The mint green of Prince William’s wife did not eclipse the class of Roger Federer’s beige suit (imitated the next day by a certain David Beckham who opted for the same color for his Ralph Lauren model).

In the alleys of Wimbledon as in the Royal Box at Center Court, Roger Federer charmed everyone. And obviously, he chose premium accessories for his first appearance as a retired tennis player in London. Despite the rain, the 42-year-old Swiss had carefully chosen his sunglasses. A pretty Oliver Peoples model, of which he has been an ambassador since last April, named Finley 1993 Sun and which sports a color which responds to the sweet name of “cherry blossom”. This pair of glasses is not cheap, 425 euros, but it is a very good choice. Just like the one on his watch.

Ovosonico studio on a PS4 title



Like Neil Armstrong stepping on the moon for the first time, Massimo Guarini feels himself growing wings when he talks about a new game on PS4. The creative director of Murasaki Baby explains:

It’s a giant step forward for our work, it’s interesting. For us, the idea comes before the technology and the platform. The PS Vita was the perfect and natural platform for Murasaki Baby, as it had a touchscreen and the core of the game was hand catching. Our next game is a completely different approach so a perfect match for the PS4.

Unfortunately, it is still too early to know more and Massimo Guarini is careful not to give us details on the studio’s next game.

I can’t say anything at the moment but the fact that we are developing on PS4 is a natural evolution of the studio. I hope to say more soon.

For your part, do you think it will use the specific features of the DualShock 4 in a new and original way?
