Recently, Apple computers have been targeted by attacks that Mac users were not used.
The myth that Macs are invulnerable to viruses has been compromised by attacks received by this type of equipment, the "hackers" seem to start to see a target platform in this increasingly sought after, as the number users has increased dramatically in recent months.
In the words of Eugine Kaspersky, the reason that the Microsoft platform received so many attacks was not due to lack of security, if not it was the most widely used, so that cybercriminals were a greater number of potential victims that attack. In this same address was delivered Vicente Diaz, international analyst at Kaspersky Lab, during a press conference online world to communicate the existence of a new malware detected on Apple computers. From the Apple company have not spoken officially about it.
With just a few weeks off on rumors and reviwes New iPhone, start strong speculation and the countdown to the iPhone 5, or the new iPhone or decide to call it. Seems pretty confirmed that carry a liquid metal alloy very light and resistant to knocks and scratches one of his weaknesses in the latest models to market.
After weeks of rumors around June launch date of iPhone 5, it now appears more solid option in October, just a year after the arrival of his predecessor.
It also seems quite likely that the new iPhone has access to high-speed networks of mobile internet (4G LTE), although here we come up several doubts about the project presentation. To avoid conflicts such as those that are having with New iPhone, Apple could consider two strategies and different sales campaigns and U.S. and Canada in the world.
We know that Facebook has selected the month of May to go public. All Things D is more prudent and evokes "the third week of May." The social network with 845 million users seems to have chosen the Nasdaq rather than the New York Stock Exchange.
However, Facebook needs the green light from the stock market watchdog, the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). Now, according to CNBC this decision, originally expected in late April, would be postponed following the acquisition of Instagram. The social network would launch a well planned May 24 if 17 is impossible.
Facebook has registered its project early February IPO, expected to be the largest ever known in the U.S. for a company in the internet. The transaction could raise up to $ 10 billion and could value the company up to $ 105 billion.
The social network has generated a profit of $ 668 million in 2011 on a turnover of 3.71 billion.
Apple has updated its page dedicated to the iPhone in business, adding, in the U.S. at least, a selection of applications designed for business users (via). Unusually, Apple spends even some third-party applications of video tutorials detailing their use. The Cupertino indicates how to keep score with BillMinder, manage online storage services with activeCloud Pro, take notes with Evernote, or translating text with iTranslate +.
Microsoft has announced that the third version of Windows Intune, its software in the cloud of Directors of computers, would now be able to manage mobile devices, devices and Windows Phone Android to the iPhone and the iPad. IOS, this management will focus on integration with a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync as explained Eric Main and will include the password protection, encryption, and remote wipe. A few weeks ago, another big name in the business world, RIM had announced the same way the integration of iOS devices and its BlackBerry system Android Mobile Fusion.
We say that is protected, because we have known news that confirm that the rigor and the secrecy by Samsung to launch the new Samsung Galaxy S3 has been extreme. Some environments require that this time, the Korean manufacturer has taken care to protect the most secret performance, but especially the aspect that will have its new flagship. In fact, it is said that in recent weeks, workers at the company have been testing the device, but have only done it through a box that protects it, in order to prevent a few days before the presentation filtered images of the final appearance, such as has happened repeatedly. And the expectation is that this new device is still high. At this point, has not even been possible to confirm that the Galaxy S3 definitely be called so. Do not forget that Apple iPad just wanted to throw us off calling that had to be the iPad 3.
A few days ago, the company knew that Samsung had already shown his new device to UK operators. Sources close confirmed that they had done through a metal housing that allowed access to the main screen and slots for cable connection. This would encourage firms could test before integrating the new Samsung Galaxy S3 in their catalogs. The truth so far has kept a total secret, although neither Samsung nor the operators have been able to avoid the constant rumors that have spread, inevitably on the specifications of the future smartphone. In recent days, however, also appeared as an image that showed some means could be the actual S3 Samsung Galaxy. The snapshot showed that the start button was located at the bottom of the screen and had built a new line of icons in the system, which had already announced earlier rumors.
The truth is that Samsung has decided not to advance a single technical feature will be the new Samsung Galaxy S3. In this sense, seems to have followed the usual patterns and know all the necessary information on 3 May, just as Samsung has organized a launch event for all the world, to be held in the city of London. Until then, all we can do is turn over some rumors that have been discussed so far. For if the provisional sheet is confirmed, the Galaxy S3 could become one of the most advanced phones on the market, if not the most.
Have to compete head on with the iPhone 5 and many other next-generation devices. Thus, it is likely to do so using a screen 4.7-inch AMOLED Super processor and up to four cores, known as Exynos and manufactured by the Korean own. All these details will be announced later, just months before Apple counterattack with the fifth generation of its iPhone.
The battle of the tablets to be held in the second half of this year will not be free only in the trenches of the performance and power, but also in the pocket. So the focus at least some manufacturers that will launch Windows-based terminals 8. And according to data given by the trade publication DigiTimes, the bet is launched with the release of the tablets that support Microsoft's upcoming platform will be focused to compete on price with the devices already on the market.
So much so that, according to DigiTimes, after its opening the tablets with Windows 8 terminals could see prices below $ 300. Apparently, the coming-out of these devices come backed by an army of some 32 different models from several manufacturers who opt for ARM or x86 architecture to supply the operation of each terminal.
Logically, we would not with a string of terminals lindaran in price so attractive proposal for the pocket. The margin, as we have known, would move from under the cap to $ 300, and would reach 1,000 , based on more powerful devices and equipped. However, not much data on them to help us determine to what extent will determine the technical profile of each device to finally check the price tag of the tablets that we see with Windows 8.
Among the manufacturers have already recognized the bandwagon of Windows 8 we see familiar faces: Asus, Hewlett-Packard, or what is the same, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and Nokia, among others. With the exception of the Finnish company, whose relationship with Microsoft is mediated by the association that both have been sealed for the development of mobile phones with Windows Phone, and will extend to this market with Nokia's foray into the realm of tablets supported by the platform that we will see in October, the rest of the manufacturers mark on the whole the idea that Microsoft does not guide the strategy in the same direction as Apple or Google.
And knowing that, as noted already, the tablets with Windows 8 will be compatible with the Intel x86 architecture and most of these manufacturers are engaged in laptops or desktops, there is no doubt that the vocation of the next Microsoft platform lindará not, as in the case of IOS and Android, the mobile environment concept, but rather closer to the philosophy of traditional operating systems, dragging the PC version to the type of usability it presupposes a tablet-a direction that is also slowly turning Apple Mac OS X.
One of the factors hindering the popularization of solar panels is their cost. But it is possible that in future this situation will change, as Antony Cox, University of Cambridge has developed a system for producing silicon with sufficient quality to produce photovoltaic panels 80% more efficient in terms of quality and price . The process also produces a 90% less CO 2 than those normally used, is based on a previous process known as FFC Cambridge and could lead to a new generation of solar panels cheaper.
No one doubts that solar energy has the potential to replace the burning of fossil fuels in producing electricity. But today is still more profitable to extract oil or burn coal to generate electricity to install solar panels. The cost, a factor that is very difficult to set aside when designing a power generating facility, may begin to tip the balance toward the side of the photovoltaic panels if they significantly reduced price. In this sense, a new production process quality silicon to manufacture solar panels has been tuned by Antony Cox, University of Cambridge. The new system, which allows for solar grade silicon is 80% more efficient (in terms of energy consumption and costs) and produces 90% less CO2. It is based on a procedure known as FFC Cambridge, developed by Professor Derek Fray and colleagues at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering, University of Cambridge, but first applied to silicon. It is in the final stages of research and development.
Silicon is the material used in photovoltaic cells, so continually looking for new processes to produce what the manufacturers called solar grade silicon. But Cox says it almost always comes to manufacturing processes that "require a lot of energy, are extremely complex and fail to become a business process." The manufacturing methods used to produce silicon generate about 10 tons of CO2 per tonne of silicon produced, and the refinement stage generates another 45 tonnes of CO2 and other toxic gases. It does not take a genius to note that, although solar energy is known for being clean and renewable technology used in the manufacture of photovoltaic panels necessary to take advantage is far from being environmentally correct. According to Cox, "it is ironic that the process used in the manufacture of 95% required by the industry silicon photovoltaic panels produced need to work for about six years to produce the same amount of energy used to manufacture them."
The possibility that Apple updated the iPhone family of terminals with a device capable of capturing and playing content in three dimensions without extra accessories is being a constant in the rumor mill about your next California firm. Of course, there has been no official statement about it, although the latest news coming from Cupertino rescue invite speculation about the possible selfstereoscopy on the iPhone 5.
To do this, simply turn to one of the last job that the American manufacturer has posted on the Jobs at Apple. According to this, the firm would be looking for software engineers to the native platform of the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, IOS. The idea is to have specialists in computerized image and 3D geometry. In principle, would not necessarily be a job offer experts dedicated to developing environments for terminal ready for viewing and recording three-dimensional content.
However, in a few details of the offer, questions that invite you to think of a 3D iPhone 5. To begin, the candidates for the post, should consider entering a working group aimed at investigating what they call "multi-view stereo," and also makes clear that those who opt for the post should be handled in 3D environments, both in reproduction surfaces as in chambers of this type. Given this evidence, as we say, the arrival of the new iPhone selfstereoscopy might happen to be an imminent reality.
To date, only know three phones that integrate 3D functions that have been made available on the world market, in Japan there are several models of Sharp and other manufacturers already committed to this technology. We talked about the HTC Evo 3D LG LG Optimus Optimus 3D and 3D Max or 3D Cube Optimus LG as the South Korean market. Is expected in the coming months, Taiwan's HTC to launch an enhanced reissue Evo 3D, but so far no official notification about it.
To date, still not clear when the iPhone would debut 5. Last year, the iPhone 4S arrived in October, while the previous editions were present at the annual meeting of developers that Apple held on the eve of the summer. On this occasion, is not specified at what point would show the new device, and in fact there are rumors that both sides are pulling out, without allowing it to clear the doubt.
It seems like every time we neglect Larry Page released a new gem on the technology and the world around Google in general. The last occurred in mid-trial that the company has against Oracle for patent violation of Java in Android, the cofounder of the company:
It's no surprise to anyone that Google's core business, at least the most important thing is not, and probably never will be Android, but rather the pipeline from other sources such as advertising. Now that the company will walk focused on launching the first major Android handset Motorola after acquiring it last summer, the statements are somewhat surprising Page.
Clearly what I can say at trial, under pressure and under a clear interest (if perdiesen Oracle would have to pay a whopping 6000 million dollars) is not as representative than what you can do in an interview or a conference but provides food for thought about the true value within Google Android.
Because although Android is a technological level of the business of the company that cares to talk and anticipation rises, the redituación thereof is not so clear. It might be so, yet wondering much that he said with sincerity, to which Larry Page intended to rely.
Suggests however, or suspect that Google's business plan remains the same and that Android is only one way to get it. Mobile devices are starting to take some of the functions and significance that years ago was relegated solely to the desk and leave aside this market is obviously crazy. In the field of mobile advertising however is that Google is doing better, with efforts like Apple iAd that have ended short of failure.
Anyway, Android is poised to become the most widely used mobile operating system by a large majority of the world, still has several serious problems to contend with as urgent fragmentation and low-paid apps, wait and see strategy and terminals that Google launched in conjunction with Motorola to see a bit more clearly the future of the little green robot.
A very angry group of parents has filed a lawsuit against Apple for the iTunes service. They accuse the company of allowing their children to do gaming accessories payments deemed to be offered free. They also hope to punish the company, because they are convinced that this has left them to make payments through iTunes accounts without requesting parental consent. Many of them noticed the issue when it found that its expenses common to the apple store had increased over a hundred euros.
It is the first case, because a year ago, a British mother complained that Apple had allowed one of her sons spent more than $ 10,000 a month in gaming accessories, through the mother's account. The lawyer handling the new lawsuit, Garen Meguerian, basa demand that for a long time, it was very easy for children to learn ons for games, really expensive in many cases without the knowledge or consent of the parent for the disbursement . Ons are much more expensive than the games themselves, and without progression is impossible or very difficult.
Apple wants the lawyer to desist from the lawsuit stating that the IOS operating system of the iPhone and the iPad is an option to disable the acquisition of payment applications (integrated shopping). Is parental problem if not defused the basic security option. However, since this wave of payments without permission during 2011, Apple added the need to use a password for each application or plug-buying game. Anyway, this new method is vulnerable.
After the father entered the password, it still remains active for fifteen minutes, during which children can access the free iTunes account. During that period of time, children may end up pulling the economy out the window family. On the other hand, children of 13 years sharing with their parents in the iTunes store, but children over 13 can open their own accounts and make all purchases they wish, as adults.
A recent study by research firm highlights Velositor fremium applications for mobile phones are a good deal. Any independent developer can check more than 63,000 euros in the first month for payment of extra allowances linked to the main application free. Programmers have also discovered that the public more receptive to incur such expenses are children and adolescents, and have therefore decided to take advantage. They are right. Children buy almost on impulse, with little whim. No question the price of things, and they are many. Many. Just have a defect: the parents.
The alphabet keys on mobile devices are not suitable for all fingers, but there are choices to make writing more comfortable.
Keyboard applications for Android phones letters cake prevent little fingers experts, confused from too many buttons in too little space. To make writing more comfortable there are alternatives to the usual keyboard playing table, available by default in "smartphones". Here are six of the most useful Google's Play, the former Google Market:
-Swype. The most famous alternative keyboard and possibly faster when mastered. The finger slides drawing lines without lifting the keyboard. Use predictive text and also allows you to type one by one the letters to make words not registered in your dictionary. Then the learning and rejoining to your. The keys are arranged in order "qwerty" keyboards the usual table, named for the provision of its first five characters. Some Android phones incorporate it by default, otherwise it can be downloaded from the website of Swype.
-Thumb Keyboard: The application lets you configure the keyboard in different ways. Provides the ability to order their way to approximate more letters on the sides of the phone and make less effort with the thumbs, include numbers or other characters in the initial keyboard or size of letters. And, for example, also include the "n" as the main point and not as secondary symbol. This application is not free. Price: 1.89 euros.
-ThickButtons Keyboard: The keyboard letters expands depending on the forecast that will be pressed. The remaining keys shrinks to make room and hit the keys more easily. For example, if you start typing a word starting with 'z', shrink because Castilian consonants other combination is not possible.
-Perfect Keyboard: Nostalgic for T9 keyboard can be configured easily with this application. The T9 is the usual order of the keys on the mobile before the "smartphones" with the provisions keypad numbers and letters assigned to each number. Perfect Keyboard allows also place the keys on a keyboard "qwerty" in other different positions and resize according to user preference.
Heliatek, a German company, has developed a new type of flexible solar panel that uses materials and manufacturing processes very similar to those used in OLED displays. These panels, built from organic molecules deposited on polyester films can be transparent, which makes them suitable for application on window glass. Because they are thin and light enough to not be necessary to make major modifications to existing windows, you may become a viable alternative to traditional solar panels.
The generation of electricity from solar energy is a reality. Millions of people have small panels installed on roofs or terraces of their houses, and several countries (including Spain) have invested enough money in this technology for solar power plants are built. Still a long way to go, but at least we have begun to walk. Now, a German start-up has just developed a new type of solar panel based on organic molecules deposited on polyester films, a very similar technology which allows for OLED screens, very thin and light, which can also be transparent. This makes them especially suitable for application on window panes, making energy collectors without losing their original functions. Its performance is good enough so they can generate the same amount of electricity than a conventional solar panel.
The company in question is Heliatek, which is based in Dresden and gets its funding-about 28 million euros so far, from giants such as Bosch and BASF. It is making the new panels in small quantities, and hope to get another 60 million euros to build a new plant with greater capacity. Today, and especially manufactured in relatively small amounts, Heliatek panels are somewhat more expensive than conventional solar panels, but they are produced in larger quantities would lower the cost enough to the cost per watt generated is even less than that of a traditional panel. Thibaud de Séguillon, CEO of the company, believes that despite its high initial cost be able to sell enough of these panels as Heliatek to survive long enough to build the new plant and lower their prices. They bet on the advantages that give its light weight, flexibility and, above all, transparency. We also know that they are working with a construction company to integrate these solar panels on concrete blocks for the facades of buildings.
But the big bet is the incorporation of these panels in the windows. "It's like having tinted windows, only that they generate electricity," says Séguillon, which emphasizes that this system saves the cost to have the necessary hardware to secure traditional panels on a roof or terrace. A panel of Heliatek converts the 8 percent of the light energy into electricity, making them somewhat better than those polymers based solar panels (having from 3% to 5% efficiency), but lower than the classical silicon solar panels that use between 14% and 15% of light to electricity.
For several years, Nokia and Samsung are looking in the mirror the other manufacturers in the mobile market. And indeed, even allowing a comfortable distance with the third in the list, Apple, LG launches the fourth, who surpasses China's ZTE. That was the picture according to data from last February at IDC, as end of 2011.
Note that we are talking about mobile phone segment, including all types of devices listed in this market. In other words, smart phones or smart phones, are a part of this cake, with other portions focusing on simple terminals, so that the huge sales in emerging countries or in developed areas where this type of devices do not why you stop to enjoy a significant penetration determines the final results of all manufacturers, except for Apple, which as you know, only develops smartphones.
However, according to latest sales figures, dedicated to the first quarter of 2012 paint a new scene at the top of the market. The tables at the top have changed, and now South Korea's Samsung which is placed at the head of the market, with a total of 88 million phones sold, according to Reuters. Finland's Nokia is right behind Seoul, recording sales of 83 million units between January and March.
The company itself acknowledges Espoo-based data, ensuring that during this period there have been a series of negative developments that respond to these results. So, have accepted the existence of joints in emerging markets that have impeded progress in forecasting projected and a decline in the portfolio of intelligent terminals.
However, they also admit that the trend may continue for the next quarter, defined as a period aspirations hinge on the Finnish company, whose future in smart mobile segment passes through the lines that make families work and Nokia Belle Lumia -.
On the other hand, Korea's Samsung could see in the data in praise of the strategy two years have been developing through its line of Android phones, as well as terminal design and simple functions. While also developing other lines, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone and Bada-native terminals, the Galaxy family is the most popular and it benefits the company is having to Seoul.
So much so that its terminals star, top model that for two years come to represent the Galaxy S, have sold over 40 million units. And not only that. South Korea expects to reissue these brands, aiming to break new sales records with the launch of its next flagship Galaxy S3, whose presentation is scheduled for May 3.
Remember the demand for Yahoo! to Facebook? This demand was made possible by patents held by Yahoo!, many of them obtained a promise that they would not be used offensively.
Twitter has taken the lead to limit the abuse of patent trolls presenting their Patent Agreement with Innovative with which explicit commitment not to use its patents offensively and defensively only in case of litigation.
A big step that brings some sanity to the turbulent environment in which intellectual property is in the world, and specifically within the field of software patents which is infested with trolls and patent litigation in bad faith use extortion as a business model or limit their competition.
Although Google claims to the quality of its free email service Gmail, the platform is not free to have problems from time to time. Moreover, in recent weeks and there have been two incidents (some time ago we told you about 5% of the messages sent through the mail account from Google were experiencing delays). The case is the second incidence occurred yesterday afternoon and left without access to Gmail to less than 10% of users. A vague figure provided by Google, but in plain numbers could mean up to 26 million customers who stayed for a few hours offline.
For several hours yesterday afternoon Gmail service was cut to the users. The news was transmitted very quickly through social networks like Twitter and Facebook, with the realization that users could not access their accounts as normal. Google announced that it was aware of the problem and was investigating the possible reasons that had led to this situation. At first, it was said from the company that the glitch affected only 2% of email users. However, a few minutes later the figure was less than 10% of all users who have Gmail in the world. The problem also found in both free accounts like Gmail in the enterprise application platform for Google Apps.
An hour after his first statement, Google announced that it had resolved the problem, announcing that yes, some users may experience delays in sending messages until normal access to the accounts to be restored in full. The company, however, did not explain the causes of the mistake he had made no connection to more than twenty million customers of the service. Although this explanation could be given below, upon termination of the investigation of the problem, it is safest for us to be without knowing the real causes.
Behind this problem lies the fierce battle that carried out by companies to ensure service uptime. Gmail has always boasted of having very high levels of availability. Last year, for example, reached levels of 99.9% availability over time. Perhaps because of this, Google has considered this problem as a "disruption" of the service and not a fall. A quite controversial decision taking into account the number of users who have been affected by this fall. The percentages of Gmail they will continue in that barrier of 99.99%, but the image of the company has suffered a setback between the affected users, and also among the media that gather the news. Yes, it is appreciated that the company moved quickly to fix this fault and return to restore service.
Google has updated the beta version of its Chrome browser to Android adding some improvements requested by customers since the launch of the first Beta in February.
Available in 31 languages and especially in all markets in which Google has introduced Play, the new Chrome Beta for easy navigation from Android smartphones or tablets based on the Android 4.0 operating system of the company.
Among the new highlights including the ability to view the desktop version of any web page, rather than the mobile version. You can also add bookmarks as shortcuts on the desktop terminal or tablet. This can directly access your favorite pages with one click.
Now you can select the preferred application to manage links open in Chrome, and configure Internet access through proxy in cases where the availability of this type of setup on the WiFi network.
Chrome for Android is available for free download from Google Play for smartphones and tablets with Android OS 4.0.
Much has been said about the future characteristics of the fifth generation of Apple's iPhone. The truth is that at this point, you know, still do not know the intentions of the Cupertino, so it's especially difficult to make inquiries or black on white new data on a device that could be known by the name of iPhone 5. Everything will look. Today we must speak at length on the screen of the future Apple device. We say this because in recent months, some media have pointed to the possibility that the iPhone 5 to undergo a major renovation. Something under the reign of Steve Jobs would never have imagined. For better or for worse, the new CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, seems to have changed part of the communication strategy of the firm (as we have seen just after the release of IPAD), and who knows if we will also see scope changes.
You know that on many occasions, we've talked about the possibility that the iPhone 5 count with a larger screen, more extensive. Thus, the phone could incorporate a panel of 4 to 4.3 inches, but has not yet been possible to ensure this data. As you know, Apple does not provide data related to the specifications of the device until the very day of release. In any case, we know that the list of the wishes of the vast majority of Apple fans can find a quad-core processor A6, a four-inch screen and connectivity LTE/4G, as happened to the brand new iPad already was presented a few weeks ago. If the new iPhone 5 integrate a four-inch screen, someone would contradict one of the commandments imposed more severe than in the doctrine Jobs of Apple.
And the mentor of the company did not agree at all with the expansion of the device screen. And is that being so, the application architecture compatible with the iPhone would have to change completely, would determine completely the work of developers. In any case, everything will be. An important fact, which was also released on this occasion, is about the size of the device. And according to some experts, the iPhone 5 could incorporate a four-inch screen without changing a single millimeter of the device current measures. We will see. It is known, in this connection that the iPhone 5 would extend along, keeping the current amplitude.
Talking about a display with a resolution of 1,152 x 640 pixels would fit in the current size of the iPhone screen, in spite of the start button would have to be reduced or relocate. We will see. It is hoped, moreover, to include a new row of icons, allowing us to add more applications and functions on each of the screens, plus a lot more usable space for watching movies or playing video games you have installed. Thus, it is possible that the new screen to keep the same pixel density that current applications so that developers do not have to make major changes to existing programs are currently underway, beyond the classic updates.
In less than two weeks for the company to launch the SpaceX Dragon private spacecraft and docking with the ISS. A milestone marking the start of a new space age to which NASA has given the nod.
Dragon is a capsule developed by the company SpaceX. Its mission is to resupply cargo to the station with the "particularity" that is a commercial operator which will take place. Therefore, and successfully accomplish the mission, Dragon is the first private spacecraft to dock with the ISS.
The flight of the capsule will be a demonstration marking the future of a new era in space travel. The same NASA (which funds part of the project) is very interested in this type of space transportation actually confirmed in a private sector in both the cargo and crew on the next step
img
If Dragon is developed by a private company and manages the cargo safely, the next level is intended to assess the voyage with astronauts and crew.
With this "shipment" would end the trial initiated by SpaceX in December 2010, when it launched a capsule that remained near the ISS and then came down to Earth safely.
The flight of the capsule will be the April 30 (16:22 GMT) from Cape Canaveral, and will be marked first by a low-flying 2 km below the ISS. That will be the time to approve or validate your flight system for the subsequent coupling. There will even be a flight simulation possible abortion of the mission in anticipation of avoiding a serious accident collision.
Once this test, the capsule will dock making history before returning to Earth and dropped into the ocean.
Announced about a year ago, the arrival of the series Tron: Uprising is imminent. There are still many details to resolve this universe after what we showed Legacy, but what seems even more serious is that the very future of the series may depend on the success of this series. Designed exclusively to Disney XD channel, Tron: Uprising features an excellent cast, and with an animation that should appeal to more than one, but will that be enough?
Tron: Legacy divided the waters much more than expected. Personally I considered satisfactory experience to see her, but perhaps I was a little infected by the "expectation" of greatness that had formed around the film, and perhaps never fully materialized. In terms of box office, Legacy was comfortably in the green zone, and that includes heavy investment in advertising (120 million) that Disney made. The negative impact that can have an "excess" investment in advertising was registered through the recent "John Carter". The film did not lose the 200 million that Disney had anticipated, but the red was no longer important. In the case of Tron, were some doubts. The film certainly did not lose money, but officials did not seem entirely convinced to make a third film until a year ago. If we take the words of Bruce Boxleitner in the D23 Expo last year, Tron 3 is not only a fact, but would be released next year. Meanwhile, we have something closer to us.
And that something is Tron: Uprising, a number of which we spoke in August 2011, the month in which D23 was done above. Technically there are over twenty years between the disappearance of Kevin Flynn and the events of Legacy, twenty years in which you can have not one but several stories (such as comics and games Evolution Betrayal and Battle Grids). Our readers probably remember the details related to Uprising: Clu 2 takes control of the Network, and a program named Beck assumes the role of rebel and Tron apprentice in order to overthrow the new digital tyrant. Obviously we know that Clu 2 achieved remain in power, but the desire to see how Disney will develop the story has not gone Uprising in the year that we've been waiting for.
Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, and two almost mythical beings in Hollywood and science fiction such as Bruce Boxleitner and Lance Henriksen are in the cast of Tron: Uprising, the format of ten episodes has been confirmed, like his first release for June. Disney XD is still the exclusive channel through which to transmit Uprising, but I imagine that their arrival to other media is just a matter of time. At one point he believed that the success or failure of Uprising define the continuity of the Tron franchise. His awakening in 2010 was not unsuccessful, but we know how these things: Hollywood is greedy, and if there are ten digits in the box office, it is difficult to maintain interest. Everything will be clarified when Uprising makes its debut on the screen.
Paper is an application so bright and so many possibilities that will surely iPad owners have already heard of it. Or directly and will. In fact, in just over two weeks since the presentation and adds 1.5 million downloads, according to its developer officially announced. "To say that the response has been overwhelming would be an understatement," he says.
What is Paper? Basically, a digital sheet blank, a "box" of crayons and the extreme ease of the touch screen of iPhone to draw what we want, or take notes, or develop a travelogue ... For those who have some facility for drawing, Paper is a luxury unaffordable (the basic application is free), in terms of denied, may test the lines and delete your nonsense with the ease that gives a virtual eraser.
You can use many picture books as you want, and customize to our liking, for example with a picture on every cover. You can use a different one every family member. Or dedicate a book to leisure and other ideas to work. Is any alternative, as we see multiple examples of a software engineer who draws his hometown, those contained in this fan page, or the detailed explanation in this video.
In the application, everything is free except if we use different types of pens that can be purchased separately, as the artist engages in this hobby.
Some netizens have likened the beauty of this application with photographs of Instagram. Strictly speaking, have nothing to do, because one works with photos that simply apply a filter and other demands of work and talent for drawing the user. However, the beauty and pampering are key in both cases. Will they get their creators rentabilizarla economically, such as Instagram?

In the last hours and through computer attacks, the group Anonymous has brought down the website of the CIA, British MI6 and the page of the U.S. Justice Department.
The group hacktivistalo announced through its official Facebook page, which claims that the CIA's Web was without service for an hour and a half. Specifically, the announcement was made by Member Havittaja Brazilian branch of Anonymous, which also points out that they had done just for fun, adding "we are all together. We are the "little people", the hungry, the poor, manipulated, and despite all his power and will, this "little people" has knocked down his pride. "
In this attack has used the system known as DDoS or Denial of Service attack, which is overloading the servers by sending a number of connection requests than they can bear. Requests are sent from different computers and servers throughout the world, making it very difficult to track them all and can perform accusations, because this attack violates the policy of regulating the Internet, so
Although the future of Sony mobile devices that goes through the beginning of the year the Japanese automaker is showing his own signature, too many terminals that retain shared the co-branded with Nippon Ericsson, and also will remain in effect through the process of system upgrades.
We talked about mobile as Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo and Sony Ericsson Xperia V Ray, some of the phones in the last batch that joined the two firms in a joint venture that ended up giving shelved after the Japanese firm had been done in the shares of the Swedish company that joined since 2001.
These devices, as we say, not pass marks remain as a road traveled by both for a little over ten years. In contrast, terminals remain to be considered, and the recent system upgrade at hand in these lines is proof of that. We are talking about Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest and most comprehensive platform of Google for smart phones, which since yesterday, April 16, becoming available in the three phones mentioned intelligent Japanese firm today.
So far as we know through the site Xperia Blog, only five European countries have access to the update of Android 4.0 on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V and Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray. This is the northern regions of Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland, where it is already available the new version of the Google platform. According to the above cited website specializing in news about Sony terminals, the next rung on the ladder will update in about four to six weeks, but not specify which countries would participate in the next raid.
In any event, details from the above website, you can upgrade the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V and Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray despite not being user of one of those five countries. To this end, say, one can proceed in two ways. One of them will cost two euros, and passes to rename the firmware of your mobile phone to impersonate a telephone from the region that the system identifies as a binder of these five countries. Should only be used WotanServer client and flash the phone. The system, to be paid for, probably not interesting to the user.
Another method passes by again flashing the phone and install hand-ROM Android 4.0 on your mobile phone. The Xperia own Blog details a tutorial for it, while referring to the XDA Developers site to capture the different versions of Ice Cream Sandwich designed for each phone you want to upgrade. In both cases, as we sign up, the process is entirely at the user's responsibility to proceed to do.
Two capuchins demonstrate that simple mind can pick up the mechanics of the game: drag the bird in the slingshot and launch
Angry Birds is the ultimate casual game. It's so easy to play with him than anyone is encouraged to test their direct fun ... Even the monkeys. And quite rightly, really.
Sasha and Thor are two capuchin monkeys showing a YouTube video that even the simplest mind can pick up the mechanics of the game Rovio: drag the bird in the slingshot and launch.
Someone in the furniture store Gallery Furniture in Houston, Texas (USA), has left an iPad 3 apes to prove their expertise in Angry Birds Space.
The truth is that the two dominant enough mechanics and even Thor gets three stars on one level. The people of Gallery Furniture has seen this as a promotional strategy and encourage people to visit to see the video to see it live.
Angry Birds is one of the franchises most successful video game in history. In late 2011, Rovio confirmed that he had downloaded 350 million times.
The Angry Birds Space, released on March 22, was downloaded 10 million times in three days for the different platforms that arrived (IOS, Android, PC and Mac). Today, only the free version for Android reached this figure.
A young Indian who was lost five years and was adopted in Australia has managed to locate her family with the geological survey of the seeker
When I was five, Saroo Brierley fell asleep on a train near his home and traveled 14 hours to reach Calcutta. I did not know the name of his people, so could not return and lived in an orphanage before being adopted by an Australian family. After 26 years was reunited with his mother thanks to Google Earth.
The day was lost, Saroo had been working with his older brother and fell asleep again in a train station. When he awoke he saw his brother and thought it would be in a train that had stopped at the time, so he entered in your search. However, he also fell asleep and awoke 14 hours later in Calcutta.
Almost 26 years later, from Australia, this young man used the little data I had to calculate the approximate distance he had traveled the train that went up (about 1,200 miles). Later he drew a circle with center in Kolkata to mark the area that was its people.
Thus, he explained to the BBC, was easy to find a waterfall in which I played as a child. So, got to follow the path to his people, Khandwa, thanks to the memories he had as a child. Soon after, he went to Khandwa Saroo where got reunited with his mother.
The Chinese company Huawei surprised half the world with the introduction of several terminals or intelligent smartphones at Mobile World Congress 2012. With the coming-out of new Huawei Huawei Ascend Ascend D Quad and Quad D XL, the company has positioned itself at the same level as many other manufacturers of height, which makes it a leading contender for Samsung, Nokia, LG and other industry leaders. But not only smartphones Huawei consumer lives. The company also introduced several tablets. One of the most recognized throughout the year will undoubtedly be the Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD, a tablet that could compete safely with the main devices that monopolized the market for the year 2012.
The new Huawei MediaPad 10 DHF is a device equipped with a quad core processor that runs on a RAM up to 2 GB. It is, undoubtedly, a tool that improves more than the processing of multimedia content, games and movies.
The operator proposes a new service to its customers when Microsoft continues its operation "all forms of entertainment" on his console.
Starting tomorrow, owners of the Orange Livebox will be able to enjoy television via their Xbox 360. Only requirements to receive TV from Orange on the console: a subscription to Xbox Live Gold and be connected to the Livebox. Thirty channels will be available by downloading the application on the Microsoft machine, the DTT channels and bouquets Extra, Sport and Orange cinema series available for existing customers of these programs on their Livebox. The offer will soon be enlarged by additional channels, television on demand and video on demand.
With this agreement, Orange hopes to boost its television service and make the right car. "We are a consumer market of television changing, so we explore a number of tracks. Today, we innovate, we'll see how it evolves," said Alice Holzman, Director Consumer Marketing at Orange France , noting that Orange TV on Xbox 360 should be considered as "a television supplement". Completed negotiations for the selection of programs in homes with a Livebox and an Xbox 360, it can now serve as the second decoder.
Anxious to multiply the forms of entertainment on its platform, Microsoft is already associated with Canal + and M6, and offers a VOD service with Zune, the manufacturer goes into high gear with Orange TV, a service provider Internet with its many strings. Both brands have signed a mutual exclusivity of one year, Microsoft and Orange are leaving time to refine their services before going to negotiate with the competition.
The significant detail of this new application is the navigation with Kinect that will end the daily drama of many French homes, namely the disappearance of the remote when switching programs. Indeed, the motion sensor to enable Microsoft to choose the chains of a wave of his hand or his voice. All is not perfect, zapping manual shall be only with the previous or next channel, for example, but navigation is still fluid enough to take effect before the family or friends.
This service is exclusively for Orange customers, the goal is clear and assumed by the two partners, recruit new users. Exchange of favors, consoles and accessories Microsoft motion controller will be sold tomorrow in thirty stores Orange. Prospective purchasers of an Xbox 360 and Kinect in Orange stores will even enjoy a substantial reduction in addition. Between new friends, we must help each other.
Those who believe that there is a 3D movie - Avatar - err, the catalog of 3D content is expanding slowly. Now covers about fifty titles in Blu-ray 3D. The chains also are getting into. Leading the way, Canal + a film program and one game per month. Broadcasters as Numericable, Orange Free or offer some home movies. Most are trolling video services on demand. They offer only a few titles for rent. The rise could come from the sport, often used as a vector of new technologies in broadcasting, as was the case with high definition. After the World Cup football 2010, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, spectators can follow the London Olympics in 3D.
Hardware side, impossible to talk about real surge, yet the 3D fad is the leading manufacturers. All brands are getting into, with varying degrees of success. With its 3D TV without glasses, Toshiba has opened a new breach, whetting the curiosity of a hurry. For now, the depth effect is fairly light compared to known 3D TVs. We bet this pioneering technology will become the norm in the next five to ten years, however, if the 3D meets his public.
Net in my TV
The agitated want the remote to control everything. Suspend direct, save the JT, a program review after its release, surf the Net, check their Facebook messages or chat on Skype. And most often, while at the same time. This is great, Internet-connected TVs bend to their lower desires. They offer simplified access to certain websites like Youtube to watch videos or Flickr for sharing photos. Another popular service, that fans of blockbuster particularly fond: VOD. The video rental dematerialized selects his movie without leaving home. A final service for the road? TV catch-up, previously limited to computers, to rebroadcast the programs and recreational programs already taken to the airwaves.
Waiting for Godot or jump into water?
The course of the TV broke down, reduce prices by eye. That those who bet on the right opportunity beware of tomorrow, the fall is not without limits ... Technological madness has pushed manufacturers to increase the innovations to the point that they have forgotten profitability. The day of reckoning has come. Many players are threatening to withdraw from the market. Manufacturers are wondering how their bailout funds. After touching the bottom of the pool, they plan to give a good kick by driving up their prices. Heat the map, now you have a good reason to pass the act.
Do not practice: How do you like the idea of "leave work"? I do not mean to change an activity for another, but not physically leave the place, choosing to sleep there. Apparently, the traffic in the city of London, which by its very nature is chaos, will have one of the biggest nightmares of mobility during the month of July, courtesy of the Olympic Games. It is encouraging employers to implement various mechanisms to enable people to work from home, but there are examples as in the case of data center managers, who will have access to personal capsules for the night in them, literally "sleeping on the job."
In Japan, there are the so-called "hotels-capsule," low-cost facilities in which executives with a couple of drinks too many can stay overnight, but are also widely used by the unemployed or temporary work that need a place inexpensive and "excesses" to sleep. Although the first hotel in Japan capsule opened in 1979, the concept would be at least thirty years old. After all, you need a place too wide to support the head and fall asleep, and in most cases, luxury is not really something to consider. There are similar examples outside the Nippon, and one of the most recent leads directly to London, where he will be holding the Summer Olympics this year.
An English company name Podtime capsules reported sales off to different companies in London, including several data centers. Although not disclosed the names of all buyers (Interxion has been one), the reasons seem to be in all logic. Data centers require a minimum number of staff in place, and therefore the difficulties in the general transport travel times will increase dramatically, not only during the time in which to conduct the Games, but also several days before and after them.
Each capsule has doors that can be locked from the inside, LED lights, a magazine rack, and connections that should solve all the energy demands of the user, but the company says that capsules can be manufactured according to customer specifications. On average, the price of one of these capsules is 1,600 €, but we imagine that the company should also offer some form of rental service. The Olympic Games will spread over two weeks, and although the traffic problems will not disappear, the capsules seem suitable for those who prefer to access a temporary solution.
Only few days separate us from Thursday May 3. That day, South Korea's Samsung held an event in the English city of Londre, which will release the next Galaxy. We could say that "white and bottle" to give the assurance that that is when we know the new Samsung Galaxy S3. However, the target should add a blue hue, which is what can be seen on the invitation, and that those who have been attentive to the cascade of rumors that are considering for months can connect with what was being said about a ceramic housing.
Although the duotone presented in the invitation to the launch event next Galaxy is not evidence on the new back cover which has been speculating for some time, somehow there is a hint about a new design come to contradict the tradition developed with the two previous terminal high-end Samsung-breaking addition to the reluctance of some users who did not come with favor the use of plastics in the casing of the Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy S S2.
It is considered certain that it will be a phone with Android 4.0 operating system, equipped with a high definition screen-specifically, a Super AMOLED Plus HD panel with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels spread over an area of 4.7 inches diagonal-and quad-core processor of the new generation Samsung Exynos-based 32-nanometer architecture.
Regarding the camera would take the Samsung Galaxy S3, rumors oscillate between eight and twelve megapixel, agreeing that would capture video in Full HD quality. On the other hand, it is assumed that the new terminal will retain the home button, regardless of the three access capacitive presenting all phones released with Android 4.0 native. Also bear the signature layer, TouchWiz, which will be a continuity line in the user interface of the system compared to that seen in previous editions.
So far it is unknown when the sale would put the Galaxy S3. In the two previous years, the predecessors of imminent terminal just hit stores during the month of May, although the presentation of both took place months before launch. Therefore, it is difficult to say when will the coming-trade Galaxy S3 data that are available.
iPod, iPhone, iPad ... All seek their enclosure. The "IW1" iHome could prove ideal as the amp. It features a clean and elegant design, with illuminated keys and sensitive on the top slice. However, no "dock" to install the Apple device, no display. The speaker promises its Wireless.
iPod and iPhone must use a Wi-Fi, called AirPlay to stream audio to the speaker. Other devices (non-Apple music players and phones) can also connect, but only via USB or auxiliary line.
Listening to the four speakers (30W) show a high quality with a volume that rises high and never saturate, even at 100%. It could, however, fail to scale for most music lovers. Bass and treble can be adjusted in seconds, and the "B" can significantly improve the quality of compression artifacts (such as MP3) by adjusting the dynamic and reinforcing the bass.
The real bonus of the device is its portability. The enclosure rests on a base that charges the battery. In a trice, she detaches and carries around, the garden terrace. But the amp does not turn into real mobile audio console, since it must stay within range of Wi-Fi
Have a Samsung S2 Galaxy? Did you get through the operator Vodafone? Well you see preparing the flagship of Samsung because it has reached a new update. Ice Cream Sandwich-better known as Android 4.0-now available for download for customers with a British operator having in his possession one of the most successful end of the market.
Both Samsung and Vodafone have confirmed that Samsung S2 Galaxy and has a particular update to Android 4.0, the latest operating system from Google. To upgrade, you must connect your terminal to your computer and run the program called Samsung Kies. Once you recognize the phone, the program will announce the availability of the new version.
Moreover, from the Vodafone forums also reported that customers who want to update your Samsung S2 Galaxy Android 4.0 without having to use cables, must wait a little longer. Specifically until 17 April. Date on which Vodafone customers can download directly to your terminal upgrade. Such practice is known as an update via OTA (Over-The-Air).
In addition, Samsung has communicated-both in their official Twitter account and Facebook-that such an update for customers of other operators (Movistar, Orange or Telstra) and, for terminals that have been obtained on the open market, yet is not available and final implementation dates will be communicated through light their social networking accounts most famous moment.
So Vodafone is presented as the first operator that allows Spanish users receive the update Android 4.0 officially and without having to install different versions that are distributed over the Internet: the familiar cooked ROMs.
For the rest, remember that Samsung has already confirmed what the teams would receive this update to Android 4.0. Samsung S2 Galaxy is being the first. However, there remains a list of handsets like the Samsung Galaxy Note that arrive in the second quarter of this year. In addition, this terminal will have surprises as with Android 4.0 also added some new applications to use the pointer (stylus) known as S-Pen.
Another team that should also receive the update is the Galaxy R; other advanced terminal improvement should receive shortly. This terminal is known for its resemblance to the flagship of the company, albeit with some changes to the technical characteristics: the processor is slightly less powerful, gets his camera to record videos in high definition but only at 720p or storage Internal is four gigabytes.
Finally, Samsung also confirmed that some of his touch tablets were also in the list of future equipment upgrade. Some of them are the great Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab Galaxy Galaxy 8.9 or the 7.7 Tab in Spain still not sold.
With more than a month on the market, the new Sony handheld console, PlayStation Vita, is updated again. After some changes in the last update, which had been withdrawn by the company Nippon, now comes a slightly improved version, mainly for fixing a bug found in a game whose release was made only for the moment, in Japan, which could still reach other continents later.
Last week the release of version 1.65, one of the first updates I received the console since its launch late last February, focused on improvements such as enabling or disabling alerts or automatic shutdown, among other things. Due to an error when installing on some devices, the update was withdrawn, preferring to wait to correct it and release it along with other improvements, to avoid continuous updates and have a far more polished.
This 1.67 update comes to the whole of Europe, which in addition to the features included in the 1.65 correction of the game Dream Club Zero, a cartoon game adult court not yet available on our continent, related to the operation of the camera. It is still unknown launch Dream Club Zero in Europe, but to reach is no longer necessary to wait for a correction of the game.
The most notable improvements are in addition to those discussed above, a better implementation LiveArea, now we are advised of new types of events, and updates, alerts and other warnings already included in the application. The 1.67 update becomes the second update with more changes to get the laptop from its launch, having already received improvements to the geolocation of the 3G model and the map application we have received your console at the same time as the connected Internet first.
Usually updates are not important and need to update our PS Vita at the time, but later the next games console may require up to date regarding upgrades and start updating itself. If your console is the 3G model and we have selected a flat rate data or engaged any rate, it is likely that the console will automatically notify and begin the update itself.
Upgrade the console is as easy as connecting to the internet with it and download the installer from about 100 MB in size. You can also update your console via the PC and using a specific program for Sony, the Content Manager Assist PS Vita and, once installed and connected to the console, select the option to upgrade firmware. We may also use a memory card containing the update to do if we have it.
Specializing in paranormal phenomena, an English scientist launches an experiment to discover if it is possible to guide the sleepers in their dreams.
Ever dreamed of driving the nightmares of your nights? The psychologist Richard Wiseman believes it is now possible to control our dreams. To implement his ideas, he has helped develop an application called Dream: ON iPhone. The objective of this professor of the University of Hertfordshire is to mobilize thousands of volunteers to participate in a vast experiment to test his theory.
The idea seems simple test. Once the application loads, the person must place his phone on his bed just before sleeping. The psychologist says that the device should be placed near the sleeper to detect when the person is dreaming, that is to say when the body is most still.
The phone is then supposed to start a small music should evoke pleasant scenes, suggesting such a dreamer to walk in the woods or a nap on the beach. The smartphone then triggers a soft ring to wake the person, so she briefly describes her dream.
"Skip a good night's sleep and pleasant dreams to help boost productivity. It is essential for the well being both physically and psychologically," according to the creator of the application.
Richard Wiseman intends to participate in the experience of nearly 10,000 people, at the International Science Festival in Edinburgh, which ends Sunday, April 15. The test results will not be known for some months.
The scientist explains that people who had depression dream more than others and were very often nightmares. "Maybe if their dreams could be improved, it would help," he hopes.
After a disappointing year 2011, the Canadian company RIM announces new terminal to try to come back neck and neck with Apple and Samsung.
Contrary to rumors in recent weeks, RIM does not abandon the sale of terminals to the general public but prefers to focus on the enterprise market, trademark Blackberry, its strength since their inception. Evidenced by the upcoming launch in France of the OS 7.1. Developed for smartphones, this operating system in addition to many features RIM devices. It is now possible to share its 3G connection with five other terminals of the brand.
Second important point, and for sure here that Blackberry is different from other brands, the latest smartphones include NFC (Near Field Communication) chip with an integrated and application Tag Blackberry, users can share photos, video, music or applications simply by bringing the two smartphones. This technology takes advantage of the social network of the brand, Blackberry Messenger since, again, just bring two terminals to exchange contacts. Many other applications are expected to use his badge or smartphone as a means of payment. RIM seems determined to truly launch the NFC market. If the updated operating system offers greater speed and sharing, can be criticized of being compatible with only 6 terminals: 9360 & 9380 Curve, the Bold 9790 & 9900, the Torch 9810 & 9860 . Too bad for users of earlier models.
A new smartphone makes its appearance, the Curve 9380. Aimed at young (between 15 and 25), this new terminal will soon integrate midrange OS 7.1 and NFC. After missing the switch to touch and have fallen behind Apple and Samsung, Blackberry forget to model the mechanical keyboard for a virtual keyboard, it seems more popular with this generation, who will be happy to download on the App World online store, applications from the Android Market.
Eventually, applications will be given on Blackberry Android. The goal? Exceed the Apple store and almost 450 000 applications. To remain popular with Generation Y, the RIM is working to integrate its social network terminals. The contacts receive updates Facebook status and Twitter. Messages, whether from mailboxes or social networks, are centralized on a single inbox. Last Social Innovation, Blackberry BBM Music will soon emerge. What stay in the race. However, no new tablet, but a simple update. The tablet playbook now works in OS 2.0. Program, file sharing, control of the tablet from the phone. If the public receives the news with enthusiasm Blackberry, Apple and Samsung do not shake. The iPhone 5 Galaxy and S3 should be out before the end of the year.
One application of robotics is to assist or replace humans in performing tasks and routines, which can be seen in logistics warehouses, assembly lines or even hospitals. Several months ago, South Korea announced its intention to deploy robots in its prisons to monitor inmates, the guards did keep the night watch and detect any attempted suicide. The idea was to start a pilot this spring and evaluate the use of robots, which the country is already doing.
The robot, which acts as a watchdog of prisons, a bit far from the initial sketch but its functions respond to the planned scheme: to monitor the corridors of the prison (ridding the prison officials have to do the night watch), analyze the language body of prisoners (to assess their mood and prevent suicides) and send all the data captured by its cameras and sensors to the control center of the prison for analysis and interpretation.
With multiple cameras, including a 3D camera, speakers, microphone and analysis software that is equipped with this new generation watcher, the robot can "talk" to prisoners (by projecting the voice of the control equipment prison), send images to the control center that also can control the robot using mobile devices, detect any outbreak of fire and send an alarm or prevent and detect any aggression against the inmates.
The prison system in Korea for now, is evaluating the use of the robot in a real environment to see if they could deploy throughout the prison system, yet are already thinking about possible improvements and developments of this prison guard so you can make for example, body searches.
To avoid reflections, the terminals where the screen stars an important part of the front design of the device is treated by polarization that seeks to prevent vision loss in conditions of direct sunlight.
Given this, just to develop a blind spot when viewing the panel glasses are also polarized. Knowing this, manufacturers are moving this black space to a situation so unusual use, disturb as little as possible, standing in a room close to the slope of 45 percent over the front view of the user to the device.
However, the new iPhone this blind spot is located on a slope very close to the view vertically, so that if we are abroad and carry polarized sunglasses, we will see what we could literally like a blackout notice the screen of the third generation iPad tablet. This situation will not arise if we look at the panel in landscape orientation, but only problem will arise when the angle desplacemos a gradual slope toward 90 degrees to the horizontal perspective.
It seems that the problem has been noted in the new iPhone is tied to the fact that it works with an IPS panel. IPS technology uses a system of internal polarized light, designed to allow precisely that the contents can be smoothly despite direct sunlight conditions abroad. However, when moving the blind spot is perceived under the conditions described, it would have been located at a point which settles the vision if we use polarized glasses.
According to details from the DisplayMate site specializing in testing and analysis of screens, the situation has come to play in some cases with the iPhone itself when the terminal is oriented horizontally, while other devices do not suffer this issue directly, regardless of the angle tilt-cite the iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab
With this, as are a handful of reasons for criticism are thronging around the new iPhone. As you know, the device that Apple updates its catalog of tablets has been the focus of criticism for the management of your battery, as well as problems of overheating and erratic operation of Wi-Fi. In the first two cases, the Cupertino company has come out indicating that the two situations fall into what they consider normal conditions.
The charging time is prolonged due to the increase in amperage of the battery in the new iPad, and false reporting of full load is concerned with a safety system designed to prolong the life of the unit. On the other hand, overheating not be so as Apple, which has indicated that the rate of heat from the device are within the limits set forth in the specifications of the device.
In the case of the problems that records the Wi-Fi, it does have admitted that there is defective, inviting users to change the terminals that affect the decision. He also came to be criticized for the connection setup LTE fourth generation, which in Europe is not operational because of the frequency bands on which it works. In Australia, even had to deal with complaints of misleading advertising.
The Galaxy Samsung S3 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the moment . While approaching his alleged official presentation , the rumors are committed in May as the date on which it will unveil the mystery- no longer appear on the new data sheet and even virtual images of a possible design. On this occasion, on the web BGR has posted an image from a Polish blog, where they say that the terminal appears there is none other than the next flagship of Samsung.
The device of the photo appears to have a fairly large screen, which occupies almost the entire front and goes to the side edges. Probably it is a panel that would be about 4.7 inches, as has been rumored. The version of Android that is installed brings Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and it is noteworthy that the icons are arranged in five columns and not four as usual. A few days ago we met a new rumor about the Samsung Galaxy S3 that gambled on an interface five columns because the screen would be quite broad. So far the only smartphone company in having this feature is the Samsung Galaxy Note that equips a 5.3 inch panel. also appreciate that the start button has a more elongated than the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the corners are very rounded.
But we can not help being skeptical . There are certain details in the image indicating that it could be a mount like the icons on the screen appear to be slightly crooked . In addition the frame around the screen looks too rough and it is noteworthy that the Samsung logo is too close to the edge of the panel.
So far there is no official data to support any of the rumors about this device. The only confirmed information is that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will have a powerful Samsung processor Exynos of four cores at 1.5 gigahertz clock speed. The screen has also been one of the components discussed rumors and most agree that it will be a Super AMOLED panel HD Plus with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, while the screen size could be around 4.7 inches. His other benefits would be composed, always rumored, a camera with a resolution of twelve megapixels, recording FullHD video , the complete set of connections (which would include a video output High Definition HDMI ) and the case could be made ??of a ceramic material very resistant and lightweight.
One thing is certain, is that you can not confirm anything until Samsung made ??the official presentation. The date remains a mystery but increasingly become stronger rumors that opt for a launch in May. The company said that the Samsung Galaxy S3 would be unveiled before the first half of the year, hopefully not again postpone the event.
