Localized clusters oldest and galaxies away from the … – Al Momento News

 glaxi OVIEDO, SPAIN, March 31 (Al Momento News) .- An international team of researchers located the groups oldest and most distant galaxies from Earth, formations born about 2000 or 3 billion years after the Big Bang and precursors of galaxy clusters that currently are you can see

The discovery was published in the journal “Astronomy & Dev. Astrophysics “which serve to better understand the origin of the universe and what it contains. This finding would not have been possible without the help of satellites of the European Space Agency (ESA): Planck and Herschel, designed to map and analyze the cosmos from orbit around 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, according to statements by Luigi Toffolatti, researcher at the Department of Physics at the University of Oviedo and coauthor of the study.

Astrophysicist specified that previously had been located farthest galaxies from Earth than these, however “This is the first concrete observation of proto-galaxies that are within groups”; precursor of clusters of galaxies today. He explained that the images captured by “Planck” show groups of tens of galaxies that are still forming and are relatively smaller than ours, and “more compact”, besides having “a very high star formation”, and that are being observed in the time are being created.

The finding help you understand “how could the gravity eventually create over cosmic time” today’s galaxies and groups and clusters that are at present, although it will be years before astronomers are able to explain many things. Likewise, this finding shows that it is important to have satellites capable to capture, classify and study the treasures of the cosmos.

Until now, thanks to the data provided by Planck, he has confirmed the finding of 228 groups of primeval galaxies, but when all information from the satellites of the ESA is analyzed, “will find more,” according Toffolatti.Actualmente in the absence of Planck and Herschel (both inactive and) the ALMA observatory in the Atacama Desert in Chile is best to look in more detail some of these groups or protoclusters of galaxies instrument.

11 things you should know about Microsoft Surface 3 – CNNExpansión.com

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) – Microsoft has released the Surface 3, a thinner, smaller and less expensive version of its tablet-PC Surface Pro 3.

The Surface fills a gap between laptops and tablets. The tablets today are great for portability, reading and viewing videos, but are not ideal for work. Instead laptops are designed for work, but are not comfortable to read a book in them. The Surface is a link: a laptop that looks and acts like a tablet.

“The Surface Pro 3 is a product that people know and love,” said Panos Panay, team leader at Microsoft Surface. “When we developed the Surface 3 The question was’ How continue to offer this but get closer to the people? ‘”

A Surface 3 highest range is available for $ 599, with twice the RAM and storage. You can also add 4G-LTE wireless connectivity for $ 100 extra.

The Barbie that records conversations … and invade privacy? – PanamaOn

But in early March, privacy advocates of minors grouped Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood made a request for production of the wrist stops. They were concerned about the fact that the recorded audios are sent to third parties and companies associated with Mattel -and therefore a potential risk to the privacy of the families. A priori we might think that the conversation of a girl with her Barbie could not be anything too sensitive, but who knows?

“If I had a little son, I would be very concerned that their intimate conversations with her doll were being recorded and analyzed, “said Angela Campbell, professor at the School of Law at Georgetown University and member of the group.

Hello Barbie is connected to a Wi-Fi network and uses a microphone to record voices of children (and any other conversation that takes place around) and transmitted to servers in the cloud. Mattel’s partner when it comes to speech recognition technology is ToyTalk, who processes the audio with your software.

How do you use ToyTalk recordings and photographs?
We use audio recordings and / or photos to create entertainment experience ToyTalk apps. This includes enabling speech recognition (so we can provide meaningful answers to you and your children say) and file play sessions for viewing by children and their parents. These records and photos could also be used for research and development, such as improving speech recognition technology and artificial intelligence algorithms and create better entertainment experiences.

How the recordings are shared and pictures with third parties?
share audio recordings with third party vendors who assist us with speech recognition. These vendors do not have access to your account information and have agreed not to retain copies of these files. These vendors may have permission to use the derived data and transcripts contain audio files or personal information for their own purposes of research and development.

Only account holders could share recordings and photos created through their accounts via e-mail or on sites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Children under 13 are not allowed to own accounts and therefore are not allowed to share recordings or photos with third parties unless an adult to share in his name.

It should be noted, as The Guardian explains that before the toy can be used, parents or responsible adults must register and accept the privacy policy. The wrist just listen to the child after the button is pressed for that purpose, and recorded audio is encrypted before being sent over the Internet.
Therefore, it will be necessary here than adults, as it should occur in all cases accompany minors in the use of technology and are instructed in a responsible use of it. To that end, will be useful Guides Child Protection.

Regardless of privacy risk involved blindly accept the terms and conditions of a service, it is known that the vast majority of users do not reads. They are generally large and in small print, but remember to help is the user community Terms of Service; . Did not Read, reading the TOS by you and are classified according to how invasive

Does Barbie Spy? – Newspaper The Republic (Costa Rica)


 Mattel, maker of the most famous doll in the world, announced last month that it would update as technology is concerned.
 This would make it through the “Hello Barbie” doll equipped with voice recognition software Siri from Apple or Samsung S-Voice type and Wi-Fi connectivity.

 However, a group of privacy advocates of minors lit the warning light, to make a request for modern doll does not hit stores.
 The fear is that the conversations recorded by the wrist are sent to Mattel and third companies, something very similar to the questions faced by Samsung Smart TV with voice commands.
 “If I had a little son, I would be very concerned that their intimate conversations with her doll were being recorded and analyzed,” said Angela Campbell, professor at the School of Law at Georgetown University.
 Hello Barbie is connected to the wireless home network and uses an integrated approach to record any conversation around and sends it via Internet to a server where it is processed by a software company ToyTalk audio microphone.
 It should be noted, as explained by the Guardian, parents or guardians of children are the ones to create the account of each boy or girl-user-understood and accept the privacy policy outlined in the company website.
 Although the audio only recording by pressing a button on the wrist and is encrypted before being sent over the Internet, Toytalk recognized that not only saves the recordings, but uses them to improve software voice recognition and shared with third parties working with them.
 Given this scenario and as always, you need to read the fine and extensive product manuals letter we buy and use policies and restrictions that we have websites, in addition to accompany the smaller to ensure that give a safe and responsible technology use experts recommended security company ESET.
