From 1999 to 2006, Stéphane Dion worked internationally, in the management, aggregation and distribution of media information as Vice-president, Technologies and Operations for CEDROM-SNI. This professional environment provided him with a unique opportunity to develop an exceptional mastery of both the Internet and the blogosphere.

A passionate technology, music and cinema buff, he decided at the beginning of 2006 to organize his expertise and knowledge in a way that could be useful to organizations and he founded YulMedia Interactions, simultaneously launching several blogs on trend-setting topics. Some of these blogs enjoy significant success on a world-wide basis.

A graduate in electronic engineering from École Polytechnique de Montréal, Stéphane worked for several years (before joining CEDROM-SNI) as a director and project manager for a large wireless telecommunications firm, which led him to assignments in several countries including Brazil, the Czech Republic and France. He was also a co founder of Domoscience, a company specializing in home automation, which he managed for several years.

Fortune Elkins – Senior editor

Fortune Elkins’ first Apple experience came when her mother, a teacher, was given an Apple IIe as part of the old Apples in the Schools program. After college, one of her friends bought a Mac on which to run thethen-astonishing Aldus Pagemaker. That desktop publishing experience
didn’t work out, but Fortune has since owned a wide variety of Apple products, including 2 Newtons. Since her husband works in advertising, her home network is completely Apple.

He forbids Windows products in their historic Brooklyn house, which is fine by her. Fortune now works as a technology evangelist for a multi-national software company. Read Fortune’s post on iPhonefreak.com.

Marianne Mazurowski - Contributor

Marianne is a graphic artist and writer living in L.A. who is completely obsessed with her iPhone. When she is not playing videogames, reading a good book, or participating in some hipster DIY crafts, she is probably outside someplace, enjoying her balcony garden and the abundance of wi-fi. She tries to seek out tips and tricks for non-jailbroken phones since most people she knows are a little wary of such things, yet they still want to know where to go for iPhone greatness. She is here, at iPhonefreak.com, to help.
