I did not understand the reference about the studio in east village, because I live in Paris (proper) where real estate may be about twice as expensive.

Actually, you can see a pendulum in the church of the museum, with
demonstration of it.
The site of the museum is great, sadly it is only in french.
Microsoft deprecates parts of OOXML->

An anonymous reader writes "In an effort to win quick converts to its bid to have Microsoft Office Open XML (MOOXML) accepted as an ISO standard, Microsoft is deprecating parts of its widely-criticized MOOXML.
But whatever the new Microsoft OOXML file format with deprecated parts will eventually look like (if such a format ever appears in an actual application), these cosmetic changes don't really make a difference for Microsoft or the world. Neither Microsoft Office 2007 or the version after that will ever likely produce a standards-compliant format.
The fact is that even MS Office 2007 itself has not implemented the initially proposed ECMA format. So it is more than apparent that the new "smoke screen" proposals will never be implemented or even if they can be, not even by Microsoft, let alone third party vendors. It also dooms all the .docx files out there already. Is MS ready to carry out a product recall or ready to develop another converter for this problem? Not likely."
