Revue de Presse / Press Review (2010/06/11)

Personnal update: After a warmer than normal May, we now have a cooler than normal June! Go figure! I am still busier than I would like and doesn't have time to do half the stuff I should do (like the appartment clean up, my digital publishing projects or the dozens articles I would like to write about the latest Valerian, its lame “anime” version, the iPad, my favourites apps, the rapidly expending ebooks market, etc.).
