New research from the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany, aims to quell the frustration and strife that can come when multiple people use a single touch screen. The project, called Bootstrapper, uses cameras below a table to identify different users by their shoes. Each set of shoes is linked to an account that keeps track of a person's actions and preferences.

Unlike other approaches to differentiating between users, Bootstrapper uses low-cost hardware and allows a person's hands to freely interact with the surface. As an added benefit, a user's preferences can be stored according to her shoes, so when she leaves the table, it's easier to resume an activity when she returns.

Previous approaches to the problem have involved affixing sensors to chairs, or using cameras positioned above a table. One approach required users to wear a ring that emits infrared, which was then tracked by the touch-table's cameras.

Patrick Baudisch, professor of computer science at the Hasso Plattner Institute, who developed the prototype system with graduate students Stephan Richter and Christian Holz, says shoes are ideal to track because they offer distinct features such as colors, seams, laces, logos, or stripes. They also typically maintain contact with the ground, unlike hands on a tabletop or bottoms in chairs, so they're easier to track.

Baudisch stresses that Bootstrapper is not intended as a security feature. "People can always spoof the system by buying the same shoes as someone else," he notes. The goal is to make collaboration easier and to log different people's usage over many sessions. The researchers, for example, used it to summarize users' achievements in a mathematics software program.

Bootstrapper collects video of shoes using cameras positioned below the surface of the table. Software extracts information about the texture of the shoe and links it with actions on the touch screen that correspond to hands and arms aligned with the shoes. With a small sample of 18 users and 18 different shoes, the researchers demonstrated that the system could recognize a user with 89 percent accuracy.

Facebook won the loyalty of more than 800 million users largely by getting them into the habit of visiting again and again to see the latest updates, comments, and photos posted by friends. Now the site will also let outside apps provide even more content, and it will encourage people to spend time looking back over activity from months or even years ago. New features introduced at an event in San Francisco last night will enable users to automatically record their eating, reading, exercise, and other habits over time, share them with friends, and review their previous actions.

The key to the new features is an update to the Timeline page that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg introduced at his company's F8 event last September. Now, with a user's permission, third-party websites and mobile apps can record details of what the person is doing and automatically feed that information to the person's Timeline page through a "Timeline app" that sends the data to Facebook and provides the necessary permission and privacy settings.

"Your timeline is not just a way to tell your story based on what you're doing on Facebook, but using your activity out in the rest of the world as well," said Carl Sjogreen, director of platform products at Facebook, at the launch event.

Enthusiasts and researchers have experimented with comprehensively logging their lives for years. In 1998, for example, Microsoft researcher Gordon Bell began trying to digitally capture as much as he could about everything he did. But Bell and others have often found that browsing and reviewing their records presented a greater challenge than capturing them. Facebook's new design could help people do both.

Facebook's hope is not just to hook in users with more experiences, but also to make use of the new trove of data that Timeline apps will provide. The information could help the company's efforts to target ads more cleverly, although Facebook says that for now, data from Timeline apps is not used in that way.

Il y a pratiquement un an, Alec Baldwin s'enthousiasmait comme il sait si bien le faire en brandissant son étoile sur le mythique Walk of Fame : "Je suis bluffé. Ses deux parents ont cette distinction, c'est un privilège pour ma fille !" Le 25 janvier, c'est en compagnie de cette ravissante adolescente que l'on pouvait croiser le héros de 30 Rock. Irelande, 16 ans, affiche une belle silhouette et de longs cheveux, hérités de sa mère Kim Basinger, dont Alec a divorcé en 2002.

Les conflits entre les deux acteurs mariés en 1993 semblent loin. A l'époque de leur séparation, l'actrice américaine ne souhaitait pas que sa fille ait des contacts avec son père, une période noire pour les deux stars, marquée notamment par un raréfication de mister Baldwin sur les écrans. Les relations entre Alec et Kim font désormais moins de bruit, et Alec Baldwin et sa fille, décontractés et complices, en balade dans les rues de New York, font plaisir voir.

La vie sentimentale de l'acteur, 53 ans, se porte plutôt bien puisqu'il file le parfait amour avec Hilaria Thomas, sa prof de yoga qui, accessoirement, a 27 ans. Invité du journaliste Piers Morgan sur CNN, il a expliqué qu'avant de la rencontrer, il avait accepté de renoncer définitivement l'amour. Les beaux yeux d'Hilaria lui ont fait changer d'avis. Cet accro Twitter se nourrit sans doute d'amour et d'eau fraîche puisqu'il a également perdu 13 kilos ! Son secret ? Arrêter le sucre, le vrai danger pour la courbe de son poids.

Son bonheur personnel se double d'une carrière au beau fixe. Il fait partie de la distribution hollywoodienne de la comédie musicale Rock of Ages, a été dirigé par Woody Allen dans Nero Fiddled et donne la réplique Julia Roberts et Mark Ruffalo dans The Normal Heart. Rien que ça.

Désormais considéré comme "spéculatif" par les agences de notation, le Portugal voit ses taux obligataires s'envoler des niveaux historiques et inquiète nouveau les investisseurs, qui craignent que le pays suive le même chemin que la Grèce et fasse défaut sur sa dette.

Si la plupart des pays fragiles de la zone euro ont resserré l'écart avec l'Allemagne sur le marché obligataire depuis le début de l'année, le Portugal a en revanche continué de subir la défiance des investisseurs.

"Les marchés considèrent que les négociations en Grèce patinent et se concentrent sur le prochain maillon faible", explique Patrick Jacq, stratégiste obligataire chez BNP Paribas.

Le rendement des obligations 10 ans du pays se situait jeudi près de 14%, au plus haut de puis la création de la zone euro. C'est le niveau qui était celui de la Grèce en juillet 2011.

Les rendements exigés par les investisseurs grimpent malgré le programme de rachat de titres de dette mis en place par la Banque centrale européenne (BCE).

De leur côté, les CDS ("Credit Default Swap"), des contrats de couverture contre le risque de défaut du pays, se sont envolés des niveaux jamais connus pour le pays un peu moins de 1.400 points de base.

Cela signifie qu'il faut débourser 1,4 million de dollars par an pour assurer 10 millions de dollars de dette d'Etat portugais 5 ans.

"Le Portugal est vraiment sur le fil du rasoir", explique Jesus Castillo, économiste chez Natixis.

Les marchés doutent beaucoup de la remise sur pied du pays et de la capacité honorer ses dettes terme, quand bien même il bénéfice d'une aide internationale, tout comme l'Irlande et le Portugal.

En échange d'un prêt international de 78 milliards d'euros, Lisbonne s'est engagé mettre en oeuvre sur trois ans un exigeant programme de rigueur budgétaire et de réformes lui permettant de renouer avec la croissance.

Or, M. Castillo rappelle que les mesures déj mises en place ont fait plongé le pays dans une récession plus forte que prévu.

Selon les prévisions du gouvernement et de ces instances internationales, le produit intérieur brut reculera de 3% en 2012.

"Il y a un risque de spirale de récession la grecque", avance M. Castillo. Mais l'analyste relève que Lisbonne bénéficie de quelques atouts dont est dépourvu Athènes.

Selon lui, l'administration portugaise est plus même de collecter l'impôt et le pays enregistre un rebond de ses exportations.

Cela n'a pas empêché les trois principales agences de notation de mettre en avant les difficultés qu'aura le pays se relever, en reléguant sa note en catégorise "spéculative".

La hausse des taux n'a pour l'instant pas de conséquence directe sur son budget, puisque le plan d'aide lui permet de se passer des marchés pour son financement moyen et long terme en 2012, pour un retour prévu en 2013.

Les investisseurs se demandent surtout comment tenir l'échéance de 2013 surtout si les taux 10 ans sont encore au-del de 10% et craignent qu'une nouvelle aide internationale soit nécessaire.

Natixis ne voit pas un retour sur le marché avant 2014, pour des emprunts estimés de 10 milliards d'euros.

En outre, les marchés se demandent s'il y aurait pas un risque que les créanciers du Portugal puissent être mis contribution pour redresser les finances du pays, comme cela se passe en Grèce, indique Christian Parisot, économiste chez le courtier Aurel BGC.

"On en est très loin", note-t-il toutefois.

Les dirigeants européens ont martelé que la Grèce serait le seul cas de ce type.

Pour plusieurs analystes, il ne faut toutefois pas encore dramatiser la hausse des taux d'intérêt observée sur le marché, puisque très peu d'acteurs achètent ou vendent de la dette portugaise, si ce n'est quelques spéculateurs.

La juge de Nanterre Isabelle Prévost-Desprez, dont le domicile parisien a été perquisitionné mercredi dans le cadre de l'affaire Bettencourt, va porter plainte pour «violation du secret professionnel et violation du secret de l'instruction», a annoncé jeudi son avocat.

«J'ai été mandaté par Isabelle Prévost-Desprez pour déposer plainte lundi (30 janvier) Paris contre» après l'annonce mercredi par la presse d'une perquisition son domicile, a déclaré Me Léon Lef Forster.

«Ce ne sont pas les journalistes qui sont visés mais les personnes qui leur ont transmis des informations concernant cette perquisition, peu de temps après qu'elle avait eu lieu», a précisé l'avocat.

Une perquisition a été menée mercredi au domicile de la juge de Nanterre Prévost-Desprez dans le cadre du volet «violation du secret professionnel» de l'affaire Bettencourt, qui vaut déj au procureur de Nanterre Philippe Courroye une mise en examen dans le volet «fadettes» de l'affaire Bettencourt.

«Diffusion quasi instantanée»

Me Lef Forster s'était dit mercredi «surpris que des faits couverts par le secret de l'instruction et par le secret professionnel aient été diffusés quasiment en instantané».

Le volet «violation du secret professionnel» concernant la juge Prévost-Desprez dans le tentaculaire dossier Bettencourt avait été transmis le 17 novembre 2010 Bordeaux par la Cour de cassation dans un souci de bonne administration de la justice au tribunal de Nanterre, en raison de relations exécrables entre Mme Prévost-Desprez et M. Courroye.

Cela fait suite une plainte de la milliardaire Liliane Bettencourt, irritée qu'une perquisition menée le 1er septembre 2010 son domicile la demande de Mme Prévost-Desprez - qui, devant juger le photographe François-Marie Banier pour abus de faiblesse, s'était auto-désignée pour mener un supplément d'information - se retrouve relatée en détail dans le Monde sorti ce même 1er septembre (...)

Selon une étude Ipsos, la hausse des intentions de vote en faveur de François Bayrou s'effectue notamment au détriment de François Hollande. La meilleure arme du centriste: son image en nette amélioration. La hausse des intentions de vote pour François Bayrou, passé de 7 14% en décembre-janvier selon Ipsos, tient surtout une forte amélioration de son image, selon une étude fouillée de cet institut et de Logica Business Consulting. Mais le choix en sa faveur est "indécis et réversible" rapporte l'étude, réalisée pour Le Monde, le Cevipof (Sciences Po), la Fondapol et la Fondation Jean Jaurès, auprès d'un échantillon de 4.910 personnes.

La hausse de 7 points du candidat centriste est due "pour 5,5 points des transferts de vote et pour 1,5 point un surcroît de mobilisation", relève cette enquête menée avant le meeting du Bourget de François Hollande.

Selon cette étude, le candidat centriste a pris 2,5 points d'intentions de vote François Hollande, 1,5 point Nicolas Sarkozy, 0,5 point Eva Joly et 1 point aux autres candidats.

François Bayrou profite du fait qu'il "voit tous ses traits d'image progresser", obtenant "des scores similaires" ceux de François Hollande. Cette amélioration "est beaucoup plus marquée auprès des personnes ayant changé d'opinion au profit du leader du MoDem", note Ipsos. Dans cette catégorie, sa popularité s'est accrue de 17 points en six semaines, et sa stature présidentielle de 34 points.

"Les électeurs de Hollande agacés par le suspense inutile qui planait autour du programme"

Auprès des électeurs de Nicolas Sarkozy et d'Eva Joly ayant opté tout récemment pour le leader centriste, "deux formules choc résument le cap clair" de François Bayrou: "produire français" et "réduire la dette". "Il semble que la métaphore du capitaine de vaisseau en temps de crise ne convainque plus" les ralliés Bayrou ex-électeurs de Nicolas Sarkozy.
