"QUIZ Estimate the Cac 40 in late June

In the video game world, the news is a bombshell. May 25, shortly before the show at E3, which opens Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Guardian revealed that in addition to forced labor, Chinese prisoners were forced to play World of Warcraft, the famous game of massively multiplayer online role. Dali Liu, a former prisoner, told the British daily's website how his jailers forced him to reap gold, swords and other virtual goods for their own account. These unscrupulous guards then sold the artifacts to other players via the Internet. But against the euro or dollars, them real.

Better known as the "gold farming", the process-illegal because contrary to the licensing of Editors, is not new. It developed in the course of the 2000s with the rise of video games massively multiplayer online.Among the best known: the game is medieval style Everquest, Eve Online Space Simulator … And of course the blockbuster of the moment, World of Warcraft. Published by Blizzard Entertainment in 2004, he assembled to date no less than 11.4 million players worldwide. And as many avatars, virtual alter ego, who jacked, cast spells and traded in a fantasy world of dungeons and dragons. All seek to ramp up. To skip steps, or simply lack of time, some are willing to change. There involved the "gold farmers", organized into groups of players 'professional'. According to a World Bank report published in April, there are about 100,000 to live in this activity, whose main body (80%) is based in China. Despite their efforts, videogame publishers are struggling to fight against this practice.

Because the Web is full of more of these "gold hunters, who conduct their business with impunity. Gamesinfun.com the site, a player can buy World of Warcraft 2000 gold virtual for the modest sum of 2.85 euros. To reassure its customers, the site (which did not respond to initial figaro.fr) ensures having "a great professional team of full-time employees. All are 'the' players 'veterans', with an "experience of at least three years in this position." Leben for Henri, a lawyer specializing in video game and intellectual property, "put an end to the activities of the 'gold farmers' is very complicated.""Most of them are based in China, they are small and have no legal existence." It is almost impossible and too costly to attack them legally, especially in the absence of a real international legislation on the Web.

Hackers looking for easy money

Besides these gold hunters, the rarity of these virtual objects also attracts hackers looking for easy money. Hacking into the accounts of certain players, they can then offload the avatar attacked its artifacts to sell on the Web. If Blizzard did not respond to our questions, the hotline operator of World of Warcraft French confirmed that "more and more players are seeing their accounts hacked." Similarly, Henry Leben, confirms that "the counting of avatars is becoming more common."Recently he has also held the record of a "wise guy" who took advantage of a vulnerability to supply his account rare objects, and reach a high level. Result, "he was stronger than everyone, and many players have complained," he says.

Director General of the French Agency for the video game (AFJV), Emmanuel Forsans is hardly surprised by these developments. "While this may seem a bit absurd to spend sometimes hundreds of dollars for a virtual object, which is nothing but a line of code … But we must understand that players purchase and time Thurs And that, to remain competitive compared with the community.

He added that many fans braved the ban by marketing them directly to their avatars or rare objects, without the publishers on the frontline.In 2007, a player has spent no less than 9500 dollars (7300 euros) to afford the "Double Blade Azzimoth", a unique weapon for World of Warcraft. To justify the tolerance of editors in such cases, Emmanuel Forsans evokes a desire to preserve the "playability" of the title. "In this type of game, players are organized into guilds. So, if one of its most powerful members has to leave, he puts the whole group at risk, "he argues.

An economic model changing

Publishers were they caught in their own trap? This would explain why their policy is based more on educating players to take repressive measures too, which might displease the subscribers. On its website, Blizzard, just to alert the community about the negative consequences of "gold farming" on "performance and stability" of the gameNot really enough to discourage "gold hunters" and their customers …

However, some massively multiplayer games beyond successfully "gold farmers" and their negative impact in terms of image. This is the case of Dofus, the title most in France played in its category (three million fans logged per month), which claims 40 million accounts created in the world. And for good reason: it has still not been translated into Chinese. If Florence C Ruocco, the communications manager of the game developed by Ankama denies any deliberate strategy to avoid the "gold farmers", she concedes that "this is probably why the title suffers less from these problems" .

Still, the economic model of these games tends to evolve, especially because publishers see a dim view this parallel market their escape.Clearly, according to Henry Leben, they want their share, which amounts to $ 3 billion, according to the World Bank. Thus, the game Castle of Heroes, developed by the Chinese Suzhou Snail Electronic offers its players to gain levels or various objects through the purchase of gPotato, the currency of the game at this rate, betting that the price of 'virtual gold could one day face the same bouts of fever that the real yellow metal.

"The leaders of the prison were earning up to 570 pounds per day"

After five years in the camp Jixi in Heilongjiang province in China, Liu Dali, recounted her ordeal at Guardian Digital. "We worked for twelve hours straight. [The guards] Never turn off the computers. If I could not reach my quota, they punished me physically.They forced me to stand with their hands in the air, then hit me when I came back in the dorms. We continued to play until you can barely see the screen. "According to him," the leaders of the jail earned more money by forcing prisoners to play online by requiring them to do manual labor. " In this way, these unscrupulous jailers could pocket "up to 570 pounds per day," said the former prisoner.

The state wants to step into the breach created by the false espionage Renault. Governments that hold nearly 15% stake in the carmaker, would like to take advantage of the replacement of number two Patrick Pelata to overhaul the state headquarters of Renault, says Les Echos.

For several weeks, the CEO, Carlos Ghosn has promoted Carlos Tavares, current head of Nissan's operations in the Americas, to replace Patrick Pelata. However, beyond the choice of a particular person, the debate among officers, directors and major shareholders of Renault is on the group's organization and its relations with the state, according to business daily. The Elysee Palace would have more influence on the choice of industrial builder and limit the power of Carlos Ghosn in particular through the recruitment of new blood in the group.

Several tracks

Reform could take several paths.The functions currently occupied by Patrick Pelata could be divided into several posts. Another track, the future heir of Carlos Ghosn could sit on the board and receive a title of CEO. That title would have the double advantage of providing greater autonomy to the number two group in relation to number one, Carlos Ghosn, and also make a successor designated by Carlos Ghosn. But Carlos Ghosn would not consider replacing it before 2014. The question of bringing the future number two immediately to the board of directors does not seem to have the endorsement of the CEO.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) will make a decision of great importance to Airbus and Boeing on Wednesday afternoon (16:30). After six years of litigation between the two aerospace giants, the WTO will tell whether or not she believes that Airbus has benefited from illegal subsidies that would have allowed, according to Boeing, to take away its position as number one world.

The sums involved are enormous. If the WTO ruled in the U.S., Airbus might have to pay several billion euros. Nothing on the folder 380, the bill could reach one billion. And the A 350 loans that were granted to Airbus amounted to four billion.

Meanwhile, the European Union has filed suit against the United States, also accused of aiding illegal Boeing. In March, a panel of judges has accused the U.S. of having received five billion dollars in aid from the United States.Both parties filed an appeal.

As the complaint against the European aircraft manufacturer is at a more advanced stage than its U.S. rival for the European Union fears that Airbus is forced to stop receiving public assistance before those of the U.S. Boeing are suspended.

Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS, announced Wednesday its intention to increase the production rate of its single-aisle A320 aircraft from 36 to 42 products per month from the fourth quarter of 2012 to meet strong demand for this type of devices.

The monthly rate will steadily increase to 38 aircraft in August 2011 to 40 copies in the first quarter of 2012, said the aircraft manufacturer, claiming a backlog of more than 2,300 A320 aircraft still to be delivered.

Airbus delivered 510 aircraft in total by 2010, including 401 A320 family, and had already delivered 132 single-aisle end of April, which puts him "on track to surpass in 2011 the number of deliveries last year. "

Indignant, Frederic Mitterrand denounced Thursday at the inauguration of the 31st Book Fair, searches conducted earlier this month by the European services competition in five French publishers (including Hachette and Gallimard), suspected anticompetitive practices in the price digital books. The Culture Minister has expressed his "astonishment at the disproportion of the means employed, while the digital book market is just emerging."

Until now, the book market has been resilient in France. Year after year, it fluctuates upward or downward by 1% to 3% no fax cash advance. Bigger than the cinema market (3 billion euros) or music (817 million), he weighed 4.19 billion last year, down 0.5%, according to GfK, but after one year exceptional 2009 with the bestseller by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight (2.9 million copies).Each year, publishers are half of their turnover with books of the year and the other with the catalog. They are therefore dependent on the success of bestsellers. The 1000 best-selling titles account for 16.7% of sales of the edition.

LE FIGARO. – How do you respond to the mobilization of 10 March for the Safeguarding of the cargo?

Pierre Blayau. – I do not understand the meaning of this mobilization, nor that of the poster campaign. She calls the station only when we have fulfilled our commitments. Today, the difficulties are more in the camp of RFF and the state. We are waiting for more decisions to achieve the objectives of the Grenelle Environment Forum, representing 25% of non-road freight by 2022. I confirm this, but if we are given the means to train ten companies that operate in France.

What do you mean exactly?

Our first expectation for regulating traffic. Courtesy of trucks of 44 tonnes is not really going in that direction.Secondly we also expect an improvement in the availability of slots, the slots allocated by RFF (Réseau Ferré de France) for the movement of trains. The situation continues to deteriorate in effect. Since the beginning of a train in three is affected by a change of course and last minute schedule. This is catastrophic! Finally, we expect decisions concerning the authorization to operate longer trains and kick off the Atlantic rail highways and increasing the capacity of the highway rail Alpine.

What are the goals you say you held?

They are many. We have reorganized the management of individual wagons, trains developed massive in Europe. We relaunched Novatrans and recapitalized, the leader of the handset. We relaunched Lorry-Rail in amount to four round trips and buying new cars.We were engaged two years ago to invest one billion euros in seven years. Moving into the highway rail Atlantic, we have already reached 400 million. Similarly Fret SNCF should publish in September its first indicators of carbon footprint. The commitments in terms of employment and training have been met.

With the reform of the wagon, you are accused of killing in this small fire by focusing on ordinary freight rail highways …

This is not the case. We found agreement with 95% of our customers affected by this reform, without raising tariffs in most cases. When it was dedicated solutions, we proposed increases of 5 to 30%. There will always be dissatisfied with any large group.I'm surprised some industry giants who have published excellent results react a bit exaggerated with modest rate increases absolutely free credit score. SNCF did not at all intend to disengage from this activity. We estimate in 2011 to make 200,000 cars against 300,000 in 2008 isolated.

How do you respond to those who say the station focuses on road freight to rail freight?

SNCF has always been a road haulier. Ten years ago, when I arrived at the head of Geodis, the station was already a shareholder. I now have two tasks: ensuring the best possible development for Geodis, the first French logistician with nearly 7 billion euros in sales and 30,000 employees. Meanwhile, I am dedicated to the restoration of rail freight. The two businesses are totally linked.Our clients ask us to move goods from one place to another. We offer solutions combining rail, road or river transport. It is true that we prefer the road.

Your optimism Fret SNCF will there soon be visible in your business and your results?

Starting this year, Fret SNCF is expected to increase traffic. Our growth is likely to be 10% at end 2012 compared to 2010. Hard to believe, but we refuse now freight trains because of problems of availability of train paths. Regarding our results, the reverse path in 2011 and we should be closer to 300 million loss in 2011 against 400 in 2010, mainly because of lower costs.But as noted by the firm Secafi Alpha, which has inspected our accounts, the economic model is far from easy.

Beyond your roadmap, which can improve the freight tracks you watch closely?

Two major issues are. Port logistics, first. The issue is very important for freight, including rail. Today the port is operating at about 30% of their technical capabilities. A real transformation would increase the volumes. The train engine and must be beneficial. An estimated one billion turnover is achieved by SNCF Geodis in our European ports. The second subject is transportation of goods in major cities. We work with several major cities including Paris, Lille, a new urban logistics.One can imagine putting up major platforms goods at the entrance of the localities served by train and then a delivery service for the last miles in vehicles. We subscribe to do in the dynamics of Greater Paris, where logistics is seeking its place. We must be imaginative. Look at Amsterdam, who chose not to let the city that trucks filled to 60%.

Develop new services by leveraging the Internet, and possibly impose outright a standard among businesses and the general public. It is the ambition of La Poste Digiposte a new offer that the company is launching today with the firm intention of making it a must secure exchanges on the Web. "We want to become a trustee in the field of digital exchanges, said yesterday Jean-Paul Bailly, CEO of La Poste. We innovate for the Post is the Post Office. Digiposte is both a secure digital mailbox, an electronic safe and a box of sharing. "

Digiposte, so it's sort of the mailbox of the future of La Poste, at a time when all administrative paperwork, bank statements and invoices, are increasingly moving from paper to paperless."Digiposte can and should become a standard at a time when the Post knows the mutation highest in its history," says Jean-Paul Bailly. It's like rolling suitcase, which became brilliant and compelling Digiposte will become as useful to simplify the life of the French! "

"The box will not" spammable "because there is no public address," said Jean-Michel Dial, director of Internet business mail.

With this project, La Poste is an intermediary between companies that agree to computerize their shipments through its services. At this stage, 25 companies have already opted for this solution, including the Postal Bank, but also ADP, which offers services for payroll and human resources, Crédit Mutuel, Arkéa, or Acadomia.

"65 million customers"

Other target clientele: individuals."We want 65 million customers! What we can not control, it's time that we put to achieve them, "commented Nicolas Road, general manager of the mail, noting that the group had not waited Digiposte to launch services on the Internet. For example it is already possible to print stamps from a computer, send a letter too. "Every day, our postmen distribute more than 150,000 letters sent through the Internet," said Nicolas Road.

"The goal for 2015 is well beyond the million accounts Digiposte promises Jean-Michel wheel. We have several discussions and negotiations.We aim to sign before the end of the year with at least one major biller's energy and telecommunications. "

The service will pay off for companies (but prices are not public), and free in its basic version (one gigabyte available) for individuals. An advertising campaign for a $ 4 million to 5 million euros will be launched in the coming days.

Jean-Paul Bailly said that Digiposte is an "essential element" of the company's strategy to face the "need to reinvent themselves and innovate." The game is not won. Post faces competition from already established small start-up specialist and especially bids safes dematerialized offered by all major banks, insurers and billers France.

The redemption price would be fixed in April, and the report advocating the "right price competitive" known until mid-March. According to the Journal de Dimanche (JDD), the findings of this report, ordered the former director general of INSEE Paul Champsaur, "are ready and recommend the price of 39 euros per megawatt hour (MWh).

The new law on the organization of the electricity market (prefecture), which shall enter into force on 1 July, stipulates that EDF, the incumbent electricity, must yield to its competitors – GDF Suez Direct Energy and other Poweo – up to 25% of the electricity produced in nuclear power plants. The selling price must be set by ministerial order. This new mechanism is expected to boost competition in an industry dominated by ultra-EDF.More than three years after market opening to competition, the French are indeed remained mostly faithful to the regulated tariffs.

Reflect production costs

EDF had voted for a rate set at 42 euros per MWh, Henri Proglio, CEO of the group, believing that selling below this limit would mean the "looting". Alternative suppliers, including GDF Suez, hoping for a price closer to 35 euros per MWh.

To fix the wholesale rate at 39 euros, experts have focused on the impact that the price on your household. The increase for the public, would be at least 35% over five years with the wholesale price of 42 euros asked by EDF free business cards. It would be 30% at 39 euros, a level considered more reasonable by the Champsaur report, according to the JDD, or 5% per annum by 2015.Difficile to go below, however, according to the report."If the government does not overly increase the rates for individuals, it should not set a price too high for manufacturers," said a relative of Paul Champsaur quoted by JDD. Nome law specifies that the award should reflect "economic conditions of production" of nuclear power plants and it will be "consistent" with a specific tariff to business, Tartam (transitory regulated tariff for market adjustment) .

Friday, Energy Minister Eric Besson had told AFP that "nothing was adjudicated" and that dialogue "continue."He said that this price would be fixed "by a decree signed in April, after an arbitration of the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister."
