Watched this movie about the French brand Chanel. The movie was in French with forced English subtitle. Not recommended unless you are earning a fashion degree. I think the actress added some crazy personality to the character Coco Chanel.

WebQQ
Tencent is offering Jolicloud-like web widget (or Chrome App for that matter) and web instant messenger services.
The top tool bar reads: WebQQ, App Market, QQ (the messenger, I believe), Group, Tencent Weibo (=Twitter-like service), QQ Mail, SoSo.com Search
Down there on the left, there're weather, a clock, a gameboy-like widget with some advert of QQ game.
On the right, I can login to my QQ messenger for instant messaging.
Currently version 2.0.

Gift from France
My sister asked some friend to hand me these gifts from Sophia-Antipolis, France. They look like chocolate, post-it note with a kiss. And "Le petite Marseillais Savon Soin à l'huile d'Argan Nourrissant" (whatever that means) and Avène Cold Cream (not in pic)

Motion Sensing Google Home Page today
This is supposed to move without clicking if your device has an accelerometer. Can someone try this and report?
Clicking on the google logo bought me to a google search of Jules Verne, the French author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) according to wikipedia.From the official Google Blog, "Today's doodle, celebrating Verne's 183rd birthday, tries to capture that sense of adventure and exploration. Using CSS3 (and with help from our resident tech wizards Marcin Wichary and Kris Hom), the doodle enables anyone to navigate the Nautilus down (nearly) 20,000 leagues with the simple pull of a lever. And for those using devices with built-in accelerometers and the latest versions of Google Chrome or Firefox, it's even simpler—just tilt your device in the direction you want to explore and the Nautilus will follow."
