Useless eID?
I just read on a Belgian news website that >6 billions millions of eID cards have already been distributed to Belgian citizens (that >70% of the population) but 50% don’t see any advantage in this “piece of plastic”. I got mine in May and, to be honest, I still never
WiFi in unusual environment
WiFi technology is more and more used in industrial environment and sometimes for entertainment purposes. In Belgium, Walibi opened a new attraction called “Le Vertigo“.

Belgium against technology?
One more time, the French part of Belgium (La Communauté Francaise de Belgique) decided to ban webcams from day-care centers (“crêches” in French)!

A new movement against politics
Federal elections are planned in Belgium. On June 10th, we are invited to elect our new political leaders. As usual, there are the classical movements (the Blue one, the Red one or the the Green one) [1]. But there are always nice protest movements against them… This time, it’s NEE,
Google Announced a Belgian Office
Google announced their plan to start activity near Mons. That’s a really good news for a region poor in such initiative. On their website, they already posted some job opportunities. BTW, they posted them in Dutch… Do they know that Mons is located in the French part of Belgium? 😉
