Facebook will brake hook holders – FORTUNE

<- chartbeat -> <- googleoff:! all -> <- -> , incluyectos orographic, thermal, pressure, lighting and scientific interest factors, has finally chosen the five possible locations comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko in which the lander, called Philae , you would be able to land. The operation will take place next December .

The rocky core of the planet, which is about four kilometers long, consisting of two lobes you a curious way give a rubber ducky. In the major lobe two sites have preset, while in the lower three more. Each site has its advantages … and weaknesses.

In addition to the above characteristics, experts also took into account the orientation of the comet from the Sun and rotation, two key issues lighting circumstances

As reported by the ESA in a statement, the team has made a team meeting in Toulouse. The landing, the space agency argues, “must balance the technical needs of the orbiter ‘Rosetta’ and lander ‘Philae’ during all stages of separation and descent”. Moreover, communication must be taken into account during operations on the surface and have the scientific requirements of the 10 instruments ranging aboard small lander (100 kilos).

Provisional selection

According to the head of the mission of the lander, Stephan Ulamec , this is “the first landing sites that have been considered” 10-were-previously, which does not indicate that eventually you decide to change any. Even so, he adds, these selected sites offer “the best opportunity to study the composition, internal structure and activity of the comet with the 10 experiments ‘Philae.’”

For example, the place named as A , which looks like the favorite, is a seemingly flat region that is located in the major lobe, but with a good view of the smaller lobe. Site B is within a crater structure in the smaller lobe, also with flat terrain, which equals fewer problems upon landing. Despite this, the lighting conditions can be a problem when the scientific planning ‘Philae’ long term is considered.

On 14 September, ESA concludes, should be ready a comprehensive study of the five possible sites.

Honey bees come from Asia, not in Africa, according to a … – Reuters

Madrid, Aug 25 (EFE) .- An international group of scientists has sequenced the genome of 140 bees from 14 different populations and has seen a “surprisingly high” in their genetic diversity, and that the “Apis mellifera” (honey bee) is probably not native to Asia and Africa.

Here are some of the findings of a study to be published in the journal Nature Genetics, led by Professor Matthew Webster University of Uppsala (Sweden), and has also had the participation of researchers from Norway, Japan, Jordan, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey and Spain.

According to this research, the bees seem descended from an ancient lineage who arrived from Asia about 300,000 years ago and spread rapidly throughout Europe and Africa.

This result contrasts with previous research suggesting that originated in Africa.

“The evolutionary tree that we constructed from the genome sequence does not support an origin in Africa,” said Matthew Webster in a press release from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The bee, the authors recall, is of crucial importance for humanity: a third of the food (fruits, nuts and vegetables) consumed mainly dependent on pollination by bees but also by other insects

.

However, they add, lost colonies of these insects in recent years has become a concern.

Bees face new threats such as disease or climate change.

To combat these threats, it is important to understand the historical evolution of these animals and how they have adapted to different environments around the world, say the authors.

Webster specifies that, unlike other species of domestic animals, bees have higher levels of genetic variation, probably because mating takes place naturally.

According to the researcher at the University of Uppsala, the results of genomic analyzes show further that no inbreeding so this process will not be involved in the loss of colonies were observed.

Other conclusions of this work is that climate change has severely affected bee populations.

So, according to this study, populations in Europe seem to have been contracted during glaciations, while African seem to have expanded in those periods.

Spanish side has participated Pillar Rua Tarin, a professor at the University of Murcia, who also provided samples of the Iberian bee “Apis mellifera iberiensis.”

“We found evidence that the population size has fluctuated much in the past, reflecting historical climate fluctuations, and that contemporary populations have high genetic diversity, “said De la Rua Efe Tarín.

For this science, the study provides an” adequate basis “for future research on the influence of pathogens and climate change on populations of honey bee.

DDOS attack on Playstation Network and Xbox Live to notice … – ITespresso.es

is still investigating what had happened, but Lizard Squad has posted on Twitter be responsible for all cuts and have been having problems lately Sony and Microsoft in their consoles online services . Initially the attack seemed to be focused only on Playstation Network, recalling previous Anonymous attacks, but this time it seems that has not leaked any user data. Yes, after all the legal issues by prior filtration Sony could be happening to try to hide as any theft of information.

Anyway DDOS attacks began to affect Blizzard servers, Grinding Gear Games and Riot Games, then move on to Playstation Network and then focusing also on Xbox Live , affecting especially when trying to connect to the access system. In all attacks Lizard Squad has declared its authorship, though without giving any concrete explanation or answer to it a specific event.

But while DDOS attacks seem a little “harmless”, remember that then cause big problems for companies and especially for their workers, so the efforts of such groups to attack companies for their business decisions or legal departments, who really is damaged technicians and many innocent workers . Furthermore, Lizard Squad might have gone too far and it claims to have achieved change the path of the plane where the president of Sony Online Entertainment, John Smedley was with a bomb .

The Lizard Squad reasons could be simply seeking notoriety, but what is certain is that in the coming days will see more information on the case and possibly as happened with Anonymous, eventually find those responsible. Finally, there is a clear difference between protest and acts help change things without annoy innocent people, and mere nonsense vandalism as a DDOS, and surely the engineers and technicians who have to work for hours to fix burdened the mess they may clarify the difference

Other tech sites like CNET or prestigious mainstream media as USA Today have given credence to the information published by The Verge, but for now Microsoft has declined to rule on the matter and has neither confirmed nor denied the filing date of its new operating system.

According to The Verge, Microsoft will convene the media to an event on 30 September, which will show its new Windows operating system.

Although popularly and within the sector already dubbed him as Windows 9x-a logical step after the recent operating systems of the company have been baptized as Windows 7 and Windows 8 – is still a mystery to the official name given to Microsoft’s latest version of its software for computers

For the purposes of internal organization while working on the design and development of Microsoft technical concern. Threshold him as Windows.

According to The Verge, the new operating system Microsoft amended substantially UI with a new “mini start menu” while eliminating the bar “Charms” A new feature introduced in Windows 8 which, in general, has not been well received by users.

In addition, the new Windows might include a version of Microsoft voice assistant, Cortana.

presentation confirmed for this September, Microsoft will get the new operating system only two years after the launch of Windows 8 in October 2012, one that marked a radical change from the previous version of Windows and has had during which time a lukewarm reception by users and businesses.

In addition, Windows 9 will be the first operating system that the software giant launched from the new CEO, Satya Nadella, took office earlier this year.

Microsoft wants to improve the future of gaming with DeLorean – Reuters

<- Multimedia home -> <- end multimedia ->

MADRID, Aug 24 (Portaltic / EP) -.

Microsoft DeLorean is a project of research that seeks to improve the performance of cloud gaming, the future of the sector. Microsoft’s idea is to design a system that reduces the maximum latency in those games, so the experience best and no cuts.

The implementation of cloud gaming seems to be the future of the industry. The ability to enjoy titles without a physical console open great possibilities for industry because users would not be limited by hardware and can access content from anywhere. Sony has taken significant steps in this direction and its platform PlayStation Now is a reality.

Microsoft is also working on this technology and its researchers are focused on developing a system that improves the quality of the games cloud. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate latency, short delays of signal transmission that alter proper reception. Users accustomed to playing online will be familiar with this annoying problem, which causes sometimes games stand for a short period of time and move without the supervision of players.

To combat latency researchers of Microsoft have developed DeLorean. This is a project that would be evidence that would combat latency issues. To do this, practically DeLorean travels to the future as it moves forward to the events of the game to be forewarned and facilitate their transmission before it occurs. Basically DeLorean would be an intelligent system able to anticipate the events to stay one step ahead of the transmit and get not having stoppages.

Researchers at Microsoft have shared a first description of DeLorean, which has successfully tested in games like Doom 3 or Fable 3 The system is able to cover 250 milliseconds latency and project managers looking to be even more effective.

The appearance of DeLorean Microsoft confirms interest Games in the cloud. The company could bet to increase its presence in this field and would like to have more arguments Xbox One to compete with PS4. Let’s wait to see where Microsoft is able to reach with DeLorean and gaming technology of the future

This storage would be the largest knowledge that humanity has ever done

The KV collect and would keep all the information that is capable on the web, in a massive database that allows access to the maximum amount of data on aspects of world history, for example, and change its mode, making Google more than a search engine, “ an oracle “, as they anticipated developers in New Scientist.

The odd thing is that Google built this storage would knowledge the largest ever made humanity, “without any human help,” says the publication.

Knowledge Vault will be able to deal with an algorithm that extracts information from the web, making the random data into real pieces of knowledge, ie , driving facts instead of numbers, which is considered radically differentiate the Google Artificial Intelligence, of other developed so far. In this line is that Knowledge Vault has been defined as a “knowledge base “, much more than a “database.”

This advancement will change the current base data (known as Knowledge Graph) that has been developed primarily by humans, this new phase of process automation to reach 1.6 trillion basically data.

They warn about the danger of false friends in Facebook – Association of Internet

It is increasingly common for spammers to use social engineering in social networks to bid for data users. Often create fake profiles, combining random groups open (or closed) and share links to dubious sites virtual fraudulent sales or surveys, using flashy messages to entice users to click the advertised link.

24/08/2014 – Mallorca Confidencial.- Kaspersky Lab has detected some different cases. In one of them, spammers have created fake profiles with a photo of a young girl named Addison. By observing carefully the “Information” in the profile of this attractive young woman who lives out in the village of Ernersdorf in Bavaria. Addison is a name
 Pretty strange for a resident of such a small town in Bavaria. Furthermore, according to his profile, it turns out she is a boy born in September 1978.

It seems the spammers strategically chose this town in Bavaria and began sending friend requests to many people in that region and other geographical areas. As many Facebook users in that area fell into the trap of accepting these fraudulent claims.

As Stefan Ortoloff of GREAT Kaspersky Lab, “in several months nothing happened, but a few days ago spammers, capitalizing on its level of credibility cattle began publishing photos of a virtual store glasses a very popular brand that surely they were forgeries. Furthermore, to increase the level of spreading their advertising images, spammers labeled their new “friends” on Facebook. “

To prevent others from accessing your profile and impair your friends with spam, is advisable to adjust your Facebook settings to “Biography and labeling,” according to Kaspersky Lab. Users also should be aware that not necessarily have to have fallen into the trap of these “friends” to be a victim of spam. Spammers also can achieve stealing account information from any of your real friends.
