The smartphones will have flash

Flash the most popular technology used to view videos and audiovisual archives will be on computers smartphones. This means the ability to view videos of better quality and longer lasting.

So far there was only a basic version of Flash, the application provided the ability to view audiovisual archives, but low quality or short-term.

Flash has been a very important factor in some breeding sites such as YouTube videos, such as the Internet, 75 percent of the videos and audiovisual materials viewed through this technology and the Smartphones with Flash. The advancement of technology and applications in the phone market has been important, as there are phones that have many features that combines images, videos and sound.

Smartphones with Flash

This required the implementation of similar technologies which uses Flash.
The company designer flash, Adobe, the company merged with its great rival, Macromedia, also creating multimedia applications. It is estimated that next year is already installed on all computers smartphones, including laptops, but Apple Iphone.

The breakthrough of blogs and media websites on the Internet, has changed the marketing strategies of mobile phone makers, they now seek their teams have the same virtues as a computer, or to view and navigate through various web pages, regardless of their design and multimedia and the Smartphones with Flash..
Flash is considered one of the most popular in the world, because 98 percent of the world's computers have this software installed on their machines.
In addition, 70 percent of the games use this technology.

Simulate the sound of subatomic particles

Great scientists Hadron Collider (LHC) in the French-Swiss developed a way to convert to sound the collision of subatomic particles. Now they hope with this method to detect the elusive, hypothetical Higgs boson, the so-called God particle.

The Higgs has never been seen but if there could explain the origin of the mass of other elementary particles and answer many questions about the origin of the universe.
The LHC - the largest particle accelerator in the world - are conducting experiments in which tiny particles are made to move in opposite directions simultaneously in the tunnel 27 kilometers in diameter.

The aim is to produce a collision of particles to recreate conditions that occurred just after the Big Bang.

Dr. Lily Asquith, who conducted the data model in the LHC experiment, worked with sound engineers to convert the data expected from the collisions of sounds. "If the energy is near you will hear a pitch low and away from you if you hear a high pitched" the scientist told the BBC.

"If it comes to large amounts of energy will be much stronger and if the tone is little power will be weaker," he adds.

In the LHC's circular tunnel, there are thousands of magnets that guide the proton beams of particles around the big "ring." At certain points around the tunnel, the beams intersect and collide with each other about four "subexperimentos" massive monitor these collisions.

Scientists hope that in these collisions emergence of new subatomic particles, which could reveal new information on the origin of the cosmos.

In one such experiment, called Atlas, was carried out the measurement of sound.

Within it is an instrument, the calorimeter, which is used to measure the energy and consists of seven concentric layers. Each layer is represented by a note and tone of each of these differs from the amount of energy that is deposited in that layer.
So far Dr. Asquith and her team have generated a number of simulations based on predictions of what might occur during collisions in the LHC.

"When you hear what they really are listening to the sonificaciones scientific data. These are authentic, and you are saying something about the data that might not otherwise know," said Archer Endrich, a software engineer working on the project.

The aim is to provide physicists another way to analyze LHC data. The team believes that the sonification ears are better adapted to the eye to detect subtle changes that might indicate the presence of a new particle.

Richard Dobson, a composer who is also involved in the project, said he was surprised by the musical sound of the collision.

'We can hear the sound structures, clear, almost as if they were composed.

"They seem to tell a story. Not very dynamic and change all the time, and they sound like music we hear in contemporary compositions," he adds.
Although the project is intended to provide particle physicists a new tool of analysis, Endrich Archer believes this could also be allowed to hear the background harmonics in the universe.

The scientist hopes that the particle collisions reveal "something new and something important about the nature of the universe."

Salvadoran asked not to disclose confidential information on the Web

The Salvadoran police warned not to disclose information "confidential" on social networking sites after three subjects obtained data that allowed to kidnap a woman, who was released later in the capital.

"This young woman was kidnapped and her information was obtained through social networking, specifically Facebook," he said at a press conference the deputy director of research at the National Civil Police Commissioner Howard Cotto.
The commissioner did not identify the victim for his safety, said that "information was used by the criminals she placed both on the network, as part of their profile, and one that could have been viewed in these networks called social barrier, which is where the person communicates with the rest of his touch. "

Cotto urged Salvadorans "not to place in public social networking or confidential information of interest which can then be used for the commission of crimes, and especially parents, to be vigilant about minors on the information providing through these networks. "

Subjects women kidnapped early on May 15 in Beijing. Negotiated the amount of ransom to the family of the victim, "was released without payment," a police statement.

Those arrested were identified as Jonathan Rivas Alfredo Calderon, Felix Bonilla and Javier Alejandro Enrique Melendez, aged between 20 and 23.

"All three participants were arrested and the victim is out of danger," said Cotto, who gave no details.

YouTube puts a million video subtitles

YouTube is adding subtitles to millions of videos on the Internet.

The popular Web site unveiled this product with the word-recognition technology that YouTube began to be used to provide subtitles to a limited group of videos late last year.

YouTube's audience may request the subtitles with the push of a button. The producers of videos can also download the subtitles automated and improved.

For now, the tool of subtitles in the YouTube videos will only work with audio in English, also plan to include more languages.
However, the audio in English may be translated into 50 different languages.

YouTube, owned by Google is the most popular video site on the Internet. Its users join the site approximately 28,800 hours of videos daily.

Google says that PC's will be irrelevant in just three years

In three years, the desktop lost supremacy to the handhelds and smartphones as the main computers of users, sees the head of Google in Europe, John Herlihy.

In a speech to a conference in Dublin, Ireland, said the technology Herliht in cloud smatphones soon allow more complex applications to run faster, becoming the main source of searches.

"In three years the desktops will be irrelevant. In Japan, most of the searches is done in smartphones today, not on desktop computers," said Herhily, according to the website Silicon Republic, echoing recent statements by the CEO of Google Eric Schmidt.
Herhily admitted, however, that the new computer revolution is a threat to Google. Anytime a new technology or service may make unnecessary the search giant like Google did with its competitors in 1998. "There is a tremendous opportunity for entrepreneurs end up with the need for Google. It is our challenge not let that happen and continue liderandio in innovation and value," he concluded.

Skype lands on Nokia phones

Skype internet firm gave its second major leap to the wireless market in just a few weeks, introducing the Nokia software that could operate more than 200 million phones worldwide.

The new Skype for Symbian software is now available free in-store Ovi by Nokia.

Skype made its first foray into the wireless business in mid-February, to reach an agreement with the largest mobile provider in the U.S., Verizon Wireless.

Free calls through your computer that allows Skype have become a phenomenon since it began in 2003 and the firm has about 520 million registered users worldwide. However, so far has made little progress in the wireless area, since most operators consider it a risk to your business voice calls.

New Website to internet calls wisdom to prevent theft

As more people reveal his whereabouts from social networks, there has been a site for surfers to remember that if everyone disclosed the place where they are or one in which they are not be exposed to a crime.

The site name says it all: "Please Rob Me" .

Released last week, Please Rob Me is exceptionally easy. Almost everything it does is display information posted on Twitter as a service to share location information, Foursquare. Rob Me Please put this information in a long, chronological list, referred to as "empty homes recently.

Please Rob Me integrates its list to take that Twitter offered information freely to many sites to show the stark message that social network. But the same warning could Please Rob Me with data flowing in dozens of places.

People do not care about sharing all sorts of personal details on social networks like Facebook. And now, people turn excited to location-based Web sites, as Foursquare, Gowalla or Loopt, which allow you to use the cell phone to alert friends about where to find someone.

Some people choose to show your location only friends with permission. But many put this specific and updated information on public profiles Twitter, anyone can see.

This phenomenon is what has motivated the creators Rob Please Me, "one of them, Boy Van Amstel 25. In a telephone interview, Van Amstel said the technology has become so easy to use that people share too much information online without even noticing.

Van Amstel and co-founders want people to think twice before risking.

In order to clarify the risks, Please Rob Me page shows the image of a thief. Below, indicates that the site "lists all the empty houses out there."

Actually, shows no empty houses. Not even reveals the homes of the absentees. Instead, the photos are from users of Twitter, user names, how long ago "went home" (which is determined when the information provided Foursquare) and where they went, along with a link to your destination on the Web site of Foursquare.

Arrested over 900 people for illegal betting online in China

The Chinese authorities discovered 210 crimes of illegal Internet gambling and arrested 918 suspects, said an official of the Ministry of Public Security, in a statement obtained by the official Xinhua news agency.

The ministry said 122 cases solved other less serious and sanctioned 13 days in 351 people, said Gu Jian, deputy director of bureau of cybersecurity.
"The Internet gambling have seriously disrupted the social and economic order, and have drawn complaints from people," said Gu.

On 8 February the Chinese government launched a national campaign of seven months to curb illegal gambling on the Internet.
The betting money is prohibited throughout the country, except the administrative region of Macau, the casino mecca, to the many citizens who travel the country to play.

In addition, last year the Government banned the use of virtual money in order to control trade, illegal gambling and the impact of this "currency" in the actual financial system.

Under those rules, the use of virtual money to bet he is punished by public security officials, also prohibits its use by minors and is only allowed to "trade in virtual goods."

University laboratory is determined to combat theft on the Internet

Stealing money has never been easier thanks to the Internet, researchers believe a university laboratory in the U.S. state of Florida, dedicated to designing programs to curb cyber crimes and make safer the Net

Launched three years ago, the Research Laboratory of Electronic Crimes of the Florida State University, aims to create technology to combat crimes such as theft of personal data, which lead to theft of money from credit cards and bank accounts.

According to the researchers, these crimes continue to grow by giving internet facilities to act at a distance and without a trace.

"With an internet connection anyone can operate from anywhere on the planet, without using his own name, no address, no nothing," said Sudhir Aggarwal, director of the center, known as 'E-Crime Lab'. "Against the electronic crimes are no rules, Internet is the Wild West ... We try to develop software tools that could help security agencies to investigate, "he said.

The laboratory has developed two different software systems to identify criminals who act hidden behind the screen of the global network, and tries to develop a mechanism far more effective than spam filters to protect against these crimes internet.

"These are not the crimes of the future are the crimes of this, unfortunately," said the expert. "I think the electronic crimes continue to grow until we find at least one way to mitigate Internet and a system that can stop them," said Aggarwal.

One program that the university laboratory called 'Without Mask' (Unmask), identifying the premises from where it left an e-mail for illegal deceptive (phishing email).

A test for PhD students, working with that project, allowing to trace an email for purposes of deception and find its origins in Guatemala City, said Aggarwal.

Other software created is a bankruptcy-passwords ( 'Password Breaker') would allow, in an investigation, police and security agencies, and in some cases, corporations have access to protected information.

The system functions as a kind of guessed passwords and has a high degree of effectiveness "because people do not really create good passwords, especially because he can not remember," Aggarwal told.

The 'E-Crime Lab', which began work in January 2007 and is on average seven students per year concentrated on development projects, receives research funding from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and collaborates with the Department of Justice of Florida and the U.S. Center White Collar Crimes (NWCCC).

The computer security company Sophos said this week in the last year there was an increase "alarming" theft of personal information through social networks like Twitter or Facebook. "Users spend more time on social networks to share valuable and important information, and hackers smell where they will make money," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos.

Google and Government Partner to fight cyberattacks

Google is finalizing a deal that will allow the National Security Agency United States to help investigate the attack of corporate espionage that could have come from China, said Thursday the Washington Post.

The aim of the research is to better respond to Google, the largest Internet search firm in the world, and its users from future attacks, the Post said, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the agreement.
The sources said that Google's alliance with the NSA electronic surveillance organization more powerful in the world, would aim to allow both parties to share key information without violating Google's policies or laws that protect the privacy of internet communications .

Under the agreement, the NSA will not see the user searches or e-mail accounts, sources said. Google does not share ownership data with the NSA, said.

Google took on January 12 the unusual step of announcing that he was the victim of sophisticated cyber attacks in mid-December and is reviewing its business operation in China.

The company based in Silicon Valley said the cyberattacks directed against activists Gmail accounts of human rights defenders Chinese and a research fund of at least 20 other large companies had been targeted.China responded several days later with a defense of state control over the Internet. A senior official said internet pornography, fraud, and rumors were a threat and the means of the internet should help "guide public opinion" in China.

The U.S. director of national intelligence, Dennis Blair said Tuesday that the cyberattacks against Google were a warning.The partnership between the giant Internet search and the NSA touches sensitive issues about how to balance individual privacy and national security online.

Google went to the NSA as a result of the attacks, but achieving agreement took weeks because of the sensitive nature of the exchange of information between both parties.
The focus of the cooperative society will not be in determining who was behind the attacks, the Post said citing sources. That would be almost impossible.

Instead, the goal is to build a better defense of the networks of Google, or what experts call "information security", according to the Post quoted its sources.

The Symbian operating system migrates to open source

The Symbian Foundation, creator of the operating system for smart phones used the world over, is giving away codes worth "billions of dollars."

Thus, the firm complies with the announcement made in 2008, when he said the system would open-source mode (in English, "open source").
This means that any organization or individual can now use and modify the operating system source code for any purpose.

The Foundation believes that this would attract new programmers to work on the system and accelerate its progress."It's the biggest migration ever made open source," he told the BBC Lee Williams, of the Symbian Foundation.

The Finnish giant Nokia bought the system in 2008 and supported the foundation Symbian Foundation "nonprofit" to oversee the development and transition to open source.

The foundation expects Nokia to reduce its involvement in the foundation to less than 50% in 2011. The Finnish company will oversee the new developments to maintain the quality of the operating system.
Symbian participate in AT & T, LG, Motorola, NTT Docomo, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone.


Ian Fogg, analyst with Forrester, said that it is a Symbian move to "move from a business model to another," and yet "winning position in the mind of the customer."
The move comes after the emergence of Android, the mobile operating system from Google, which is also open source.

But Williams, Symbian, denied that it is a marketing move.

"We had the idea of 12 to 18 months before Android and the iPhone launch," he said, while acknowledging that needs "desperately" to have more positioning.

New Zealand students auctioned her virginity at $ 32,000

A poor student who put New Zealand on auction her virginity to pay for their studies, said Wednesday it had accepted an offer of 45,000 local dollars (32,000 U.S. dollars) for sleeping with a stranger.

The student, 19, who offered her virginity to the highest bidder at an auction on the website ineed.co.nz, said there had been more than 1,200 deals.
"I have accepted an offer of more than $ 45,000, which is much more than I ever dreamed," the student said on their website at the end of the auction.

"With over 30,000 people who saw my ad and more than 1,200 offers made," he said.The girl, who called himself "Unigirl", was described as attractive, fit and healthy and said he never had a sexual relationship, but did not specify how he would prove it.

The student did not accept orders from the media for an interview, but the owner of the website, Ross MacKenzie, told the Waikato Times newspaper that had been authorized to commit the transaction.

Japanese company releases robot that listens to people

FujiSoft The Japanese company in Tokyo introduced its latest robot named Palro, a small humanoid whose specialty is communication with people around you.

This is a test model for researchers, engineers and students.

Palro The name is a blend of the words "Pal" (friend, in English) and "Robot". It has an integrated camera, microphone, speakers and several LED lights, plus an Intel Atom 1.6 GHz

The robot weighs 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds), measures 39.8 inches high (15.6 inches) and cost about $ 3.00 when it becomes available in March for household and academy.

The Chinese players via the Internet increases to 66 million in 2009

The number of Chinese players over the Internet increased by 33 percent to reach 66 million by 2009, according to a report published in the annual conference of the games industry in China.

Revenue for the Internet gaming industry in China reached 3,700 million (2,618 million) in 2009, up 39.5 percent from a year earlier, according to the Ministry of Culture recently.

In addition, at least 64 games developed by 29 national companies with revenues of 109,000 million (77,122 million euros) in foreign markets.

On the other hand, it is estimated that over the next four years the number of players increased to 123 million, with revenues of 7440 million (5,264 million).

Chinese companies have benefited by the Chinese Government's official order to prevent foreign companies entering this market or through their own entities or joint ventures (joint ventures).

China has the largest population of Internet users throughout the world, with nearly 384 million users, but also one of the countries with the network censors, according to systematically denounce human rights organizations.

Nokia will offer free navigation on mobile phones

Nokia follows in the footsteps of Google and provide free maps on their mobile phones, an initiative which aims to boost sales and prices of the phones, but will affect other firms in satellite navigation systems.

Nokia hopes free shipping strengthen its position, becoming weaker in the global market for smartphones or 'smartphones'.

The firm continues to sell more advanced phones than any of his rivals, but has lost ground to Apple and RIM.

"We help you sell smartphones," said Anssi Vanjoki, head of marketing at Nokia, told Reuters in an interview. "It will serve as a defense to the prices of our products," he added.

Google began in late 2009 to offer free navigation Droid models from Motorola in the U.S. market.

The navigation aid at 200 million Nokia smartphone is expected to hurt key players in the global navigation market, such as TomTom and Garmin.

"This has huge implications for pure software companies. It is of course a crucial time for the industry," said Michael Halbherr, vice president of location-based services at Nokia, adding that he saw sailing as a "disguised role of industry .

TomTom shares fell 13 percent on the news, and analysts said the decision would harm surely Nokia navigation software firms smaller, as Telmap and TeleNav.

Learn the ten most vulnerable in Internet passwords

A study involving the analysis of 32 million passwords on the internet, which recently had been exposed to the site after the cyber Rockyou.com identified ten electronic keys used by users more vulnerable to hacking.

The data security company Imperva analyzed the security of passwords or passwords used by users.

The aim was to identify the most common personal passwords used by consumers and administrators of internet pages, so that to avoid when using social networks or e-commerce sites.

The most common password is: 123456, but there is a list of the most vulnerable.

Among the findings of the study found that while shorter and simpler passwords or passwords are chosen by the users, they are more susceptible to basic forms of cyber attacks.

About 50% of users used names, slang, dictionary words, or trivial passwords (such as consecutive digits, adjacent keys on the keyboard of the computer, etc.).

Passwords most vulnerable

- 123456
- 12345
- 123456789
- Password
- Iloveyou
- Princess
- Rockyou
- 1234567
- 12345678
- Abc123

Hazards

Imperva's technical director, Amichai Shulman, said: "We all need to understand what that involves the combination of weak passwords or passwords in today's world of cyber machines: with minimal effort, a hacker can access a new account every second or 1,000 accounts every 17 minutes. "

"The problem has changed little over the past 20 years," said Shulman. "It is time that we take seriously the security of our electronic passwords. It is a primary and important step in the field of data security and online information," he said.

Earlier, Carole Theriault of internet security firm Sophos told the reporter the area of Technology for the BBC, Jonathan Fildes, that "access to a password I could give someone access to many things."

People must change their passwords at different websites that use "he added.

A recent report by Sophos found that about 40% of people had the same password for all websites they visited.

"People need to differentiate between having a bank account online and make a reservation online for tickets to the cinema."

Skype usage has soared, but their income

Users who want to call home from abroad are increasingly using the Internet phone service Skype to the detriment of international operators, according to new data show.

"Skype is now the largest cross-border communications provider in the world, by far," said Stephan Beckert, an analyst at research firm TeleGeography.

Skype technology allows consumers to make long distance calls through fixed-line Internet practically for free.

It is mainly used in laptops, but Skype has entered the mobile market and now comes preloaded on some devices.

According to the company during the past 25 years, the volume of international calls has grown at a compound annual rate of 15%. In the past two years, however, this growth has fallen to only 8%, growing from 376,000 million minutes in 2008 to estimated 406,000 minutes last year.

In comparison, the traffic between Skype users grew 51% in 2008 and is projected to grow by 63% in 2009 to 54,000 million minutes. "The volume of traffic over Skype is tremendous," said Beckert.
Slowdown

In general, TeleGeography says, "demand for international voice has been great, but is clearly not impervious to recession."

Established in 2003 and headquartered in Luxembourg, the privately held company has more than 520 million registered users who use the service free voice, video or text via the Internet.

But despite their size, their income is relatively modest-about $ 551 million in 2008 - because the company has had difficulties at the moment to make their users pay for their free services for the most part.

Skype wants to nearly double their annual income to 1,000 million dollars in two years.

Google will investigate whether its employees are hackers infiltrated

Google is investigating whether one or more employees may have helped facilitate a cyber attack of the U.S. search giant said to be a victim in the middle of December, two sources told Reuters on Monday.

Google, the most popular search engine in the world, said last week it was considering withdrawing from the world's largest market of Internet with claims that had been the victim of a cyberattack "sophisticated" in its network that resulted in the theft of his intellectual property.

The sources, who are familiar with the situation told Reuters that the attack which was aimed at people with access to specific parts of Google's services could have been provided by employees in the office of Google China.

"Do not comment on rumors and speculation. This is an ongoing investigation, and we simply can not discuss details," said a Google spokesman.

Security analysts told Reuters that the "malware" used in the attack on Google was a modification of a trojan called Hydraq. A Trojan is a malicious program that, once inside the computer, allows someone unauthorized access.

The sophistication of the attack was in the knowledge of who was attacked, not the program itself, analysts said.

Local media, citing unnamed sources, reported that some Google employees were denied access to China domestic services after 13 January, while some staff were sacked and others transferred to different offices in Google's operations in Asia. Google declined comment.

Japan test earthquake warning system via SMS

"Alert earthquake: An earthquake was detected in the northwestern region. Be prepared for very strong shocks" thanks to technology developed in Japan, mobile phones can warn people and help organize aid.

This "early warning device" developed by the Japanese Meteorological Agency has yet to be perfected "a message sent on 25 August 2009 at 06H37 to mobiles of thousands of people in eastern Japan was a false alarm, but the system is unique in the world.

Such warnings were once reserved for institutions, nuclear power and railway companies. Since October 2007, are sent to phones, are broadcast by the media and broadcast over loudspeakers in public places in Japan.

The alert may also resonate in every home, thanks to specific appliances offered by electronics manufacturers, security companies or managers of buildings.

The result of years of research, the system proposed by the Meteorological Agency to detect early signs of an earthquake and instantly assess their destructive potential.

The device plays with the differences in speed of propagation of different waves emitted by an earthquake. Thanks to the speed of telecommunications networks, early warning can be given just before they hit the waves more deadly.

Experts estimate that the number of victims of the earthquakes could be reduced by 90% if people available for only ten seconds off the gas, cover under a table, open the door, etc..

Only major earthquake alerts are communicated to the general public to avoid panic in a country where small earthquakes are extremely common and effective earthquake-resistant techniques.

When tragedy occurs, the Japanese rely on telecommunications to reduce its severity, by tracking devices of the damage and casualties as conceived by NTT Comware.

This portable device that includes a computer, a projector and a stylus in addition to mapping software linked to a database, is aimed at local authorities.

Allows record events in real time, quickly, easily and immediately transmitted to crisis management centers.

"The operator has only to select a small image (fire, landslide, tsunami, etc.). In a paddle with the stylus and bring to a map projected on a table," Katsuki said Aki, NTT Comware.

"Instantly, you get a view of the situation can escalate, filter the display, assessing risks around measure distances, display the number of people potentially affected and different indication necessary for organizing assistance," explains.

The data located and dated, including photos and videos can also be brought directly to the ground from surveillance cameras, fire detectors, gas sensors and other equipment, or be aimed at rescuers equipped with mobile phones equipped with a module satellite tracking (GPS).

Computerized, the data dictionary is available immediately from more distant places.

The 47 prefectures are to be equipped with this device in the perspective of an earthquake of great magnitude greater than 7, which is highly likely to occur in coming decades in several regions, including Tokyo.

China adds 384 million Internet users, 29% more than in 2008

China has 384 million Internet users after in 2009 another 86 million people were connected to the network, representing an increase of 28.9 percent, according to Tuesday's official newspaper China Daily.

The Information Center of the Internet in China released the official data of the balance of the year in which they emphasize the increase in internet connection through mobile phones.

Thus, about 233 million people already connecting to the network through their mobile terminals due to business expansion of mobile telephony of third generation (3G).

The figure nearly doubled compared to 2008 when there were only 120 million people who used the phone to access the network.

The Chinese agency also wanted to emphasize the internet penetration in rural areas of the country, from which in 2009 logged more than 106 million people, 26 percent more than in the previous year.

China is the country with the largest number of netizens in the world and further expands the gap with the United States, second placed with 227 million users.

However, Internet penetration is low in China, only 30 percent of the total population, which lies above 1,300 million.

The increase of Internet users around the country also had a significant impact on Internet commerce in the Asian giant, whose revenue reached 250,000 million yuan (36,600 million, 25,500 million).
