IPAD expected to continue to study leader among Tablet PC

The IPAD Apple will not have a serious rival until next year as competitors appear Tablet PC will have to adapt IPAD custom applications, according to a report by market research firm iSuppli.
The IPAD, possibly this year will overtake three-quarters of world orders touchscreen computer or Tablet PC will have at least 70 percent of the market in 2011 and 62 percent in 2012, iSuppli said on Wednesday in his report.Apple sold 3.3 million IPAD last quarter, in what was one of the best starts for a consumer electronic device.

I Pad leader in Tablet Pc

Apple rivals such as Hewlett Packard, Dell and Lenovo computers are implementing systems based on Android and Windows 7, but will face a combination of hardware, software, operating system and applications offered IPAD, the company said studies.

"It is unlikely that any of the rivals be able to match in its entirety IPAD offer," said Rhoda Alexander, director of the company.Other potential rivals, iSuppli cited speculation that the Canadian company Research in Motion is trying to enter the market after the recent acquisition of the domain name "BlackPad."
Alexander ruled, however, that Google will launch a Tablet PC OS Chrome on November 26, arguing that "any touch device based on Chrome will not appear until 2011 or later."

Google launches call service via Gmail

Google is adding a feature to its free email service that could persuade more people to get rid of their landline.
The function presented Wednesday allows U.S. users of Google's Gmail service to make calls from computers to phones equipped with a microphone practically anywhere in the world.
All calls in the United States and Canada are free until at least year's end. This undermines the most popular service for your computer, Skype, which charges 1.2 to 2.1 cents per minute for calls from the United States.
It also threatens to overshadow another free service calls pc to phone call MagicTalk, which has just been submitted by VocalTec Communications Ltd.Skype, Google and many other services have for years been offering free phone calls from computer to computer.

GMail call service

Google hopes to earn money on your computer to phone service charging two cents or more per minute on international calls. International rates vary widely, sometimes even within the same country. Google posted a price list at https: / / www.google.com/voice/b/0/rates.
People also can receive calls on their computer if they get a free phone number from Google or if they already have one.
Phone numbers and technology for new service calls through a computer are being provided by Google Voice, a telecommunications center that the company has been trying to expand.
It had been a service by invitation only until two months ago, when Google Voice began accepting all requests for numbers.

English spend half their time to technology

Between television, radio, cell phones, internet and other technological means of delivery, the British spend almost half their time to use telecommunications equipment, said the British telecoms regulator, OFCOM.
In its annual survey of the telecommunications market, OFCOM first calculated the average time devoted to the British media and other vectors of technology and stands at just over 7 hours per day per person, or about 45% of the average time of a day without counting the hours to sleep.
More specifically, the routine use of traditional media (television and radio) is maintained, supported by the development of new technology such as HDTV.

Britain and the technology

Britons last year spent three hours and 45 minutes per day in front of the cathode ray tube, over a quarter of them are equipped with televisions "HD Ready", meaning that they can receive programs broadcast in high definition.

In parallel, the use of new technology vectors exploded. The British sent on average four times more text messages on cell phones in 2004 and almost a quarter of the time they spend online is used in social networks like Facebook.
In two years, multifunction phones doubled to 12.8 million units, and those who use their devices to view Internet last year rose 50% to 13.5 million.The gap between the generations in the use of new technologies also tends to decrease: more than half of those over 55 years has access to broadband internet.
Finally, the British, especially youth, are becoming more "multifaceted", ie, for example, surf the Internet while watching television and talking on their phones.

Internet, the second half to find a mate in the U.S.

Internet has become the second most common form in which Americans know of their partners, displacing more traditional media such as family or work, according to a study.
The research, conducted by experts from Stanford University in California, and City College of New York, says that about 30% of new couples formed in the United States emerged from meetings in the network, which places Internet as the second most common means of pairing friends behind.
The study was based on data from a 2009 survey involving 4002 adults, of which just over 3,000 were married or had a girlfriend.
"The Internet is becoming the primary way that Americans are getting to know their partners, and that has happened in a period of just 15 years," he told BBC Michael J. Rosenfeld, one of the authors of the research.
"Friends are something that has always existed and I think the fact that the Internet is displacing them as the most common way to meet a couple in a very short period of time is relevant," said Rosenfeld.
The researchers suggest that the Internet is especially important for those groups who experience more difficulties in finding a partner, as middle-aged heterosexuals or homosexuals.
Proof of this is that gay couples in the study made between 2007 and 2009, 61% met at the net, compared with 21% of heterosexual couples.Another relevant conclusions of this work is that people who have internet access at home are more likely to have a relationship.

Internet, help to find a mate

The results were clear: 82.2% of participants who had had access to internet spouse or partner, compared to 62.8% who were not connected to the network.

The rise of the Internet as a facilitator of new romantic relationships has been accompanied by the decline of other traditional forms, such as family or work."For 70 years the most common way in which Americans knew their partner was through the family," explains Michael J. Rosenfeld. Gay couple.
Gay couples formed between 2007 and 2009, 61% met at the net.
"But during the second half of the twentieth century that changed, because people are marrying later, because people travel and live less time with their families, so parents have less opportunity to intervene in the choice of partners of their children "he says.
The study authors believe that influiencia of parents in choosing a mate may explain why in the past there were fewer inter-or homosexual unions.As indicated, such as the internet transcends the barriers of the local community and the neighborhood, where parents do have influence, individual preferences become the predominant factor in mate choice.
"The Internet removes some of the social barriers that exist in the real world," says Rosenfeld.
Besides the family, in recent years the importance of place to find work as a couple have been in decline, after an increase of its relevance that continued until the 90 ".

BlackBerry fight between Arabs and exposes security fears

The dispute between the Arab Gulf states and the maker of the BlackBerry phone for access to encrypted communications highlights the nervousness about the potential threats to security in the region, from Iran to Al Qaeda.The messaging application of the device, manufactured by Canadian firm Research In Motion (RIM), expanded rapidly in the Gulf area, where he became a popular tool for business and social networks.

But because the data is encrypted and sent to servers abroad, can not be tracked locally.

In countries like United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, the development has raised fears that the lack of access to harm their ability to identify potential spies, murderers and Islamic militants, analysts argued.

"They feel they are under threat," said Shadi Hamid, director of research of the Brookings Doha Center, citing a growing concern, especially in the UAE, to become immersed in a possible conflict with Iran. "UAE is on the front line," he said.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE, two of the most conservative countries in the region are concerned that the implementation of BlackBerry messaging can be used to harm the interests of national security, but have not yet made public this suspicion.

As the tension grows in the Gulf region, both countries have threatened to ban phone services. However, Riad seems to have resolved its dispute with RIM earlier this month.

Gulf Arab states share its Western allies suspect that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons technology. Neither Washington nor Israel has ruled out military action if diplomacy and sanctions fail.This also endangers the Arab oil-exporting countries, which house a number of Western military complex and certainly would be involved in an armed conflict with Iran."We are in the fourth round of sanctions against Iran and there are many rumors about what will happen with Iran regarding its nuclear program," said Theodore Karasik, the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis in Dubai.

"These countries are seeking to shield themselves from a potential fifth column, so they have to control everything to decipher whether there is a real threat," he added.

BlackBerry fight between Arabs

In Saudi Arabia, RIM could avoid action against the courier to deliver sought after accepting "codes" to users of telephones, said an industry source familiar with the case.But speculation continues in the UAE with a possible restriction after the Government threatened to suspend the application, email and the form of BlackBerry from October 11 for safety.

However, the concern of the Gulf countries goes beyond Iran and includes the fear of a possible revival of the regional wing of Al Qaeda or the appearance of Israeli espionage cases, internal dissension or perceived immoral behavior.

The BlackBerry device is popular with young singles in Saudi Arabia, which form the main phone market in the Gulf with 700,000 users. With the device can organize meetings in a society that restricts contact between men and women who are not related.Activists in the region also said the encrypted text messages helped forge a more open dialogue, even with criticism of the government and its policies.

India sees solution in the next week

Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry smartphone, could provide a solution next week to Indian security agencies to access corporate mail through obtaining the encrypted data in a readable format, said a government source on Friday.

Research In Motion (RIM) faces a deadline of August 31 given by the Indian authorities to be given the means to track and read email BlackBerry Enterprise Service and BlackBerry Messenger.

The Government, concerned about the potential use the fundamentalists can make sure Blackberry network to carry out attacks, has pledged to close services if RIM does not comply, which deviate from the markets one of the fastest growing telecommunications in the world.

A technical team from RIM in New Delhi has been working with the department of telecommunications and security agencies to find a solution.

"We hope to provide a solution for e-Enterprise next week," said the source, who declined to give his name because the discussions with the Government RIM are not public.

India said this week that would enable the courier service that continues after the deadline as access to services has been secured, but could close the e-mail service without having access to it then.

India is one of several countries that are pressuring RIM, which has based its reputation of the Blackberry-famous among executives and politicians, on confidentiality.

Government officials have said that RIM has secured access to the service manual of the Blackberry IM for 1 September and automated access by year's end.

Internet becomes a musical showcase

Since established artists learned to use the Internet as a means of promoting their issues "and as a means to communicate with their fans around the world does the network became an excellent musical showcase.
Shakira, Chayanne, U2, Bon Jovi and Enrique Iglesias are just some of the thousands of artists who have their own web page hanging articles on latest news, previews of their forthcoming work or his biography that his followers can meet its admired background stars.
Many singers, such as Puerto Rican or Spanish Chayanne David Bisbal, also include a fan club or forum, places in which to maintain contact with their fans, answer questions or simply thank them for their support.

Internet and the music

But not only personal websites have become an inexhaustible source of advertising, but the boom being experienced by social networks, which become addicted by now, makes them a more attractive option.
The expansion is inconceivable that the social universe has lived in recent years has been a profound change in the life of every human being who can speak of a revolution.
It is estimated that 81 percent of the world population is at least one user of social network: nobody wants to miss this new fashion, and fewer artists.

Miguel Bosé, David Bisbal and Alejandro Sanz have already created your profile on Facebook, the social network has more international, since July, 500 million users. One highly useful approach to hundreds of thousands of people quickly and free, a great way unmatched by any other communication medium.
Another social networking is becoming increasingly true is Twitter. Paulina Rubio and Ricky Martin have ever used the network to relay their concerns or thoughts, even the Puerto Rican singer came to confess publicly his homosexuality through a message on Twitter.
Paulina Rubio Neither hesitated before sharing with all his fans the happiness I felt days after learning she was pregnant.
Thus, the Internet is used by artists as a platform to display their feelings and deeper concerns, but also as a sign of his latest musical. A great promotional balcony no limit.

The new musical groups rely on internet

But artists do not only use the network Promotional but emerging groups in the music scene also rely on this vast virtual world to access the desired fame, or at least to be released quickly and easily.
Thousands of pages to which these "neighborhood groups" or new groups can access and post their work in order to reach millions of people around the world without charge.Some of the most popular are MySpace, YouTube, Hertz or Lastfm.
The Spanish group pop rock without coverage is one of many emerging bands trying to gain a foothold in the competitive world of music in internet.
Javier Pino (voice and guitar), Victor Sanchez (guitar), Antonio Moreira (bass) and Almudena Lorente (drums) - the four members of the group - are fighting for four years to become as well known as Coldplay, Blink 182 , Laziness, Pignoise, Clueless or Melocos, his most admired artists.
Formed in 2006, it was not until 2007 when the band had their stroke of luck I can finally record their first demo with the Spanish guitarist Birdcage, James Sanchez.

Thanks to this opportunity, no coverage has been able to show their music to hundreds of supporters who go to different rooms to listen Madrid play live. Currently, presumed to be preparing its first EP, to be published in mid-September.
The singer and guitarist Javier Pino found on the Internet recognizes that the impetus to make themselves known, when, still only teenagers, they decided to surrender to the music.
"When we started, the Internet was key for us. We put the first two tracks we recorded in Myspace, we had not yet made any concert, but slowly people began to join the group and now we have over 500 fans," he explains in a interview with Efe.
Of all the pages that are intended to boost the careers of new talent, no coverage Myspace chose to hang his first songs, "Life" and "I remember you," two tracks that can be downloaded free music in internet.
"Last.fm or Rocola.fm, are pages that also help promote the music, but certainly what is most public and greater affluence is Myspace" said Pino, who added that also advertise on other websites as Tuenti, Youtube or Hertz, "the Spanish Myspace."And is that for some years, Myspace, owned by U.S. company Fox Interactive Media, has already passed the 500,000 users in Spain alone. A very substantial amount for those who have no other means to offer their music.
Dateaconocer, Gruposnuevos, Musicaclick, Purevolume, or SoundClick ReverbNation are many other digital sites for the promotion and dissemination of new talent in the music internet world.

BlackBerry users could switch to the competition

While the governments of United Arab Emirates, India, Saudi Arabia and other countries are considering forcing the manufacturer to suspend the BlackBerry e-mail encryption devices for security reasons, users fear their work routines and you are threatened discussed some options, like moving the iPhone from Apple Inc.
Udoay Ghosh, an executive at electronics company G-Hanzs lives in Dubai, traveling about 300 days a year and use the Blackberry to keep up with an average of more than 100 emails a day.
He is one of many devotees of multipurpose cell interviewed by The Associated Press in airports and offices around the world this week expressing concern about the threats of various governments to ban the service. They also had trouble remembering how they work before they had the device in their hands.
Sipping a coffee before an early flight at Dubai International Airport, the businessman looking fondly at his two good, two BlackBerry phones in front of him.

BlackBerry Users

"This is my laptop, my office and my home," said Udoay on the device. "People today can not wait. In today's world, time is money and if you lose time, lose business," he added.
Nokia Corp. is one of the manufacturers who sell supercell with capacity for email, Web browsing and other office tools, features that have not caused great concern on the part of regulators in the Middle East or Asia.
In the same situation are the iPhone and phones that have the Android operating system Google Inc.

"We want to provide our employees with other devices if there is any major change" regarding Blackberry, said Michael Grabicki, a spokesman for the German chemical company BASF SE.
The other devices, however, not based on the same type of sophisticated encryption that has caused the concerns of various governments, which means that do not offer the same level of security for many companies is crucial.
If prohibitions against BlackBerry are effective, business travelers said they could find ways to encrypt your message using laptops for email, but that would require them to juggle while holding a cup of coffee at an airport. It is much easier to browse messages on a multipurpose phone in the palm of the hand.
"In the end you can also pick up the phone (Blackberry) and call" the business contacts, the user said Emad Soliman, an Australian designer who works in a furniture factory in the capital of the Emirates, Abu Dhabi.

Internet broadcast virtual drugs that cause hallucinations

The "digital drugs", or musical pieces that can be downloaded from internet and promise similar sensations to those caused by cocaine or LSD, landed in France from the United States, where they seduce young people.
Drugs no longer need to be injected, ingested or smoked, can now be heard, say the sites that sell sound frequencies from 15 to 30 minutes. This "dose", they say, enables strong sensations, such as hallucinations.
On Youtube you can see some movies where young, lying in darkness and with a helmet in the ears, allegedly entering into a trance by "digital drugs" that have been downloaded from the network.
The "dose Numerical technique lie in the ear pulse, ie the emission in each ear of two similar sounds, but where different frequency, which has the effect of altered brain waves, told AFP Brigitte neuropsychologist Forgeot.

"It is possible by this method lead to the brain to produce slow waves such as alpha waves, associated with states of relaxation, or even faster, such as beta waves, associated with states of alertness and concentration," said Forgeot.It is a neurological phenomenon that can produce a kind of hypnotic sound, said the expert, who has studied the clinical and neuropsychological effects of such sounds.

The digital Drugs

On the Internet, I-Doser.com site, which claims to be the leader in the market for "digital substances, proposed five years ago in his shop on the net about 200" dose "different, which is essential to use a helmet in the ears.
The price for these "digital dose" varies from 2.50 to 199.95 U.S. dollars, is checked in the website.
Available since 2007 in the U.S. site Cnet.com, the "numerical levels" have been downloaded more than 1.4 million times. Only during the past week, the site recorded 18 000 downloads.

The two most expensive musical cards, dubbed "Gate of Hades" (Gate of Hades) and "Hand of God" (Mano de Dios), lasting 30 minutes, may, in their description, that plunge the listener either in the worst nightmares in a state of calm and bliss.
"The effect of the sounds ceased since the stop listening," said Forgeot, noting however that "the intensive use of stimulants can generate sounds eventually sound disturbances or anxiety, as can the use of many psychostimulants" .
Inspired by the functioning of non-virtual drug, the site I-Doser.com proposed to test several of its products for free.
Like drug trafficking, also relies on a network of dealers ("dealers") recruited through the site and paid up to 20% of the turnover of the dose.Asked about the possibility that these drugs cause addiction numerical, Brigitte Forgeot estimates that "no risk" that can create dependency, as they do real drugs.That is why detractors of drugs called numerical throw caution, these authorities have no ban on its agenda, confirmed to AFP the Interministerial Mission to combat drugs and drug addiction.

BlackBerry loses round in India and Reaches Agreement in Saudi Arabia

India could temporarily paralyze BlackBerry service if security problems are not addressed at a meeting on Thursday. One sign that the battle of the Canadian firm with governments around the world is far from reaching its end.
The latest ultimatum to Research In Motion, the maker of BlackBerry, comes a day after the firm agreed to deliver the user codes that would allow the Saudi authorities to monitor the messages, at times when they sought to silence his service.
Within a few weeks, encryption of mail service and BlackBerry messages, widely beloved by politicians and CEOs in the world, including U.S. President Barack Obama has been the target of several governments.
India, like many other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, wants access to encrypted communications Blackberry, which are linked to militant activity, including attacks on Mumbai in 2008 that killed 166 people.
The Government would meet with the telecommunications operators on Thursday, Reuters said on Wednesday the head of internal security of India UK Bansal, but it is unclear whether RIM would take part in the meeting. RIM declined comment.
Minister (the inside) of India will press on Thursday to set a deadline for RIM share the details of coding.

"I could have definitely some discussions about the term, a proposal to adopt a tough action on BlackBerry services during the meeting," said government official, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media .

BlackBerry in India and Saudi Arabia

Another senior Indian government official told Reuters that they could apply to mobile phone operators to shut down their e-mail services and messaging RIM temporarily as a last resort, not to get RIM to provide data access."If they can not provide a solution, we will ask operators (mobile) to stop that particular service. The service will be resumed when we provide a solution," the source said.
The responsibility for compliance with security requirements of India lies on the mobile operators in India rather than fall on RIM.Much of the success of BlackBerry in recent years has been their safety net, enabling executives to communicate securely, but one of its main sales became a problem.
The German government has banned its public officials and politicians to use the BlackBerry and the European Union Commission last month rejected the BlackBerry for Apple iPhone and HTC smartphones.
RIM, unlike its rival Nokia and Apple, operates its own network through a secure service located in Canada and other countries like Britain.
RIM said the BlackBerry security based on a system where customers create their own key and the company does not have the master key or a "backdoor" that allows him or any third person to gain access to corporate data crucial.

Android is now on smartphones manufactured by several companies, including Motorola Droid-the best-selling Android device in the second quarter among U.S. consumers, and the apparatus of the Taiwanese HTC.

Google said recently that 160,000 Android phones have been activated daily during the second quarter, up from 65,000 a day for the first quarter.
"It seems that Android is not only phenomenal, but also has a phenomenal success in its rate of growth," Schmidt told reporters at the conference Techonomy, where he participated in a panel discussion.
Schmidt said Google is now focused on integrating social networking features into their products online.

But the executive did not comment on reports that it is creating a new service to compete with Facebook, the largest social networking site in the world and suggest that firms would be associated with social and Zynga games.
Analysts have said the games could be the ticket for Google to enter the social networking scene, at a time when the Internet giant seeks to leave behind a disappointing series of initiatives that have made the background in a market boom.

"There have been many leaks, some of which have been corrected, some that have not been. In general it is better not to talk about unannounced products," said Schmidt.
"Overall, we always believe that our products would be better with more social cues," he added.
Schmidt's comments came the same day the company Google deactivated Wave, a product of high-profile social networks presented the past year.
Wave Schmidt said no "got enough momentum, but the company applied some of its functions to upcoming products.

U.S. authorities reach agreement with Intel antitrust

The Federal Trade Commission USA announced its agreement with Intel Corp. as a victory for consumers who for a decade have overpaid for computer microchips, although buyers should not expect a sudden drop in prices.The deal announced Wednesday marks the end of stronger antitrust suit that Intel has faced so far by government regulators and imposed a strict set of changes.
But everything changed as a result of the Commission's actions will likely be gradual and probably imperceptible to most.

One reason is that the prices of computer microchips have dropped steadily as technological advances cheapen the production of more powerful microchips. Consumers have come to acquire more powerful equipment for less money.
The case is based on the premise that these prices have not fallen as much as they could have done. The Commission accused Intel of help that situation by abusing his position as number one provider of central processing units (CPU) and graphics processing units (GPU) to move to rivals in the market and stifle competition.

The CPU is the "brains" of computers and are among the most expensive components, often account for 15% to 20% of the computer. The GPU are microchips that highlight the graphics on computer screens.
The head of the Commission, Jon Leibowitz, said Intel's behavior was exceeded beyond the "type of vigorous competition that all stimulated to move to the area of inequitable conduct, misleading and anticompetitive."

Intel has denied the charges and declining prices put forward as evidence that the market is functioning normally.

UAE Blackberry service suspended in October

United Arab Emirates (UAE) suspend the use of Blackberry services in October, citing concerns about security risks, which affect half a million users in the Persian Gulf state.

UAE said on Sunday it would stop Blackberry services on 11 October until they develop and implement an "acceptable solution."
"It is a final decision, but we are in discussions with them," said Mohammed Al Ghanem, director general of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA, for its acronym in English) UAE Reuters.

"Censorship has nothing to do with this. What we are talking about is a suspension due to failure of the UAE telecom standards," he added.
UAE contends that Blackberry data are exported abroad and managed by a "foreign business transaction." The regulator said the Blackberry data services are the only ones who operate with this method. The decision does not affect users of rival Nokia phones and Apple's iPhone.

"Today's decision is based on the fact that, in its present form, certain Blackberry services allow users to operate without any liability, raising concerns of a judicial, social and national security to the UAE," said TRA.

Officials Blackberry maker, Research In Motion, were not immediately available for comment.

The suspension of messaging services, email and Web browsing Blackberry comes after attempts dating back to 2007 to make that the provider meets the standards of the country, said the TRA.

United Arab Emirates voiced concern last week that the unit is open to misuse represent security risks, a move that some saw as a dissatisfaction with the inability to monitor the popular BlackBerry messaging service."The government considers the services offered by Blackberry, especially instant messaging as an obstacle to their goal of strengthening the censorship, surveillance and filters," Reporters Without Borders said in a statement on July 26.

BlackBerry, which has about 20 percent of the smartphone market in the world, behind Nokia but ahead of Apple, has an estimated 500,000 users in the UAE.
