The Hudsucker Proxy Windows – Los Andes (Argentina)

Dio surprise, not so much for performance or news of your new system … if not by name.



 The next version of Microsoft’s operating system will be Windows 10 because the company will skip that version 9 would have been to emphasize the progress we are making towards a centered universe and mobile internet services .



 The current version, Windows 8, has been criticized for forcing radical changes in user behavior. Microsoft will restore some of the more traditional ways and promises that will be familiar to Windows 10 clients, regardless of which version of Windows you are using today.



 For example, the Start menu in Windows 10 appears similar to Windows 7, but the grids that will open on the right will look like those of Windows 8.



 Joe Belfiore, a Microsoft executive who oversees the design and development of Windows, said version 10 “offer the fa

miliaridad of Windows 7 with some of the benefits that exist in Windows 8″ to help users to make the transition.

 Microsoft yesterday offered a glimpse of the new version at an event in San Francisco for business customers.



 Although the new system will not be formally distributed until next year, analysts believe that its success will be crucial for Microsoft and its new CEO Satya Nadella.



 The new system represents an attempt to reverse in part the radical redesign that alienated many users when Windows 8 was introduced two years ago, but not completely away from the goal of bridging the gap between laptops and mobile devices: still has functions tactile, and aims to create a familiar experience for users who switch between desktops, tablets and multipurpose phones.



 The executive Terry Myerson said that Windows 10 will be “a whole new generation” that will work with a variety of devices, from phones to game consoles.


Team



 According to Microsoft, Windows 10 will be a “collaborative” operating system.

 To that end today launched the Insider Program and Windows users who sign up can download a technical preview to work on laptops and desktops.



 All other devices will have to wait.



 Apparently, and although they have not given many details on how will this program will have polls and forums available to insiders, where Microsoft engineers themselves are quite active.



 In fact, they have acknowledged that they do not know how well organized but “will learn” on the road.



 Windows 10 is still far from being completed and is expected to hit the consumer market in mid-2015

 In the Build event where Microsoft traditionally meets with developers, will present this operating system in detail.

 Regarding price or the rumor that the update would be free, as was said a few days ago, have not been pronounced.

New

Intended This major upgrade is simply to integrate once and the desktop environment with the Modern UI. Bringing together the best of Windows 7 with 8 attempts at modernization.



 Still argue that his new philosophy of “One”, a shop, an OS, a cloud, and the convergence of all its products.

 The Start Menu of Windows 10 has been completely overhauled to make it easier to use.



 Bar Charms (lateral) has not disappeared, but still, the search system has been improved and integrated to the Start Menu or Toolbar, if you will.

Microsoft today displayed the first details of the next version … – The Nacional.com

This week Microsoft plans to offer a glimpse of his vision for Windows at a time when its new CEO seeks to redefine the company and recover from missteps of its flagship operating system.

Although the new software will not formally on sale until next year, and analysts believe that their success is crucial to Microsoft and to Satya Nadella, who has become a priority for mobile devices and services through the Internet since he became CEO in February.

With touch controls type tablet, Windows 8 was Microsoft’s response to the collapse of PC sales due to rising demand for mobile devices. But the company distanced itself from many users by forcing radical changes of use. Research firm IDC blamed even Windows 8 to accelerate the decline in PC sales in the first year after the release of the operating system in October 2012 full quarter.

Microsoft has made some updates responding to some complaints, but the company Net Applications Analytics estimated that five out of six users of Windows is using a different version of Windows 8.

The next major release will be the opportunity for the company to recover and show that Microsoft can take mobile devices without sacrificing the traditional computing experience.

“It’s one of the most important releases in history.’s very important that we understand well,” said Patrick Moorhead, the research firm Moor Insights and Strategy.

Microsoft is expected to deliver on Tuesday a preliminary look at some of the new features during an activity that the company billed as a discussion of “what’s next for Windows” . The company has not said what name to assign to the new version of Windows.

The event, to be held in San Francisco, is aimed at the business market. Separate sessions will focus on users computers for home and other in the coming months will be made. Analysts say the sessions are part of an effort by Microsoft to get feedback and avoid the pitfalls he had with Windows 8.

Even two years after a decline in sales of personal computers, software licenses for Windows are a crucial element of a business segment contributes approximately 21% of annual income of Microsoft, the second highest after the sale of commercial software company.

Windows 8 introduced new features to personal computers, such as touch screen features that are now common on computers “two in one”. Many PC users had difficulty navigating the new interface, particularly with mouse and keyboard devices without a touchscreen. Furthermore, estranged family controls like the button “Start” was long a component of previous Windows systems.

“It was a miscalculation on the part of Microsoft,” said analyst Steve Kleynhans, of research firm Gartner. “Can not you force people to a situation that changes everything they know,” he added.

The nutrients of red ocher and shells contributed to … – RTVE

RTVE.es

Both red ocher pigment as seashells , used by humans for 250,000 years with ornamental and artistic purposes , had a direct bearing on human evolution. This follows an article Researcher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), Carlos Duarte.

The scientist says that the accidental ingestion of ocher pigments and a diet that included shellfish and other seafood have made the nutrients essential for early brain development and have improved biological adaptation, as recorded by the CSIC in a note.

Nutrients provided

The seafood is rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA for short), an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid of the omega-3 series, with a important role in the developing nervous system, brain and vision .

Meanwhile, red ocher pigments could supply iron , essential for health reproductive and brain development , according to the article published in the journal Trends in Ecologoy & amp; Evolution .

“On one hand, the seafood allowed some 200,000 years ago humans did against adverse climatic period and, second, supposed to have a reliable power supply in time coincided with the dispersal of our species along the coast, “said Duarte.

The materials represented a extra iron

CSIC researcher suggests that the use of red ocher powder mixed with seafood or other foods, would have had a similar impact on brain and reproductive health and therefore also in human evolution.

“The handling of these materials would have been a extra iron , essential for brain nutrient-stressed situations, such as in the case of pregnant women with a seafood-based diet” , explained the researcher.

Combined use of materials

As pointed out by Duarte, the powder mixed with animal oil and fat to give it grip and was applied by hand.

Artists, fingers covered by the pigment, iron accidentally fed and evolutionarily selecting individuals with inclinations to symbolic thought and artistic expression.

“Going a step further, I imagine that these artists were women in gestation , which possessed time to pulverize and mix these components and decorate their bodies and caves” indicated.

Red ocher and shells landed in the evolution of the species

According to the scientist of the CSIC, the fact that the combined use of red ocher and shells has remained in many cultures around the world means that these two sources of essential nutrients had a positive impact on the evolution of the species.

For this researcher, ” the use of red ocher and shells is not restricted to indigenous cultures, but Western women are using red ocher and shells, for the pigment is the basis of this current color cosmetics and often carry produced ornaments with shells. “

” A diet rich in marine products and adequate iron diet still play a key role in mental and reproductive health of our species, which has to care particularly during pregnancy. This role is as important or even more than that played 200,000 years ago because we’re in a time when deterioration of our diet is leading to the proliferation of mental and reproductive health also in Western society, “he adds.

Facebook creates tool that delivers data of users … – TransMedia.cl

Drafting TransMedia.cl 30.09.14.- Facebook launched a new platform that facilitates user data to advertisers, so that they can install their advertising more effectively in other sites.

This platform, called Atlas, collects data from the social network and used in external websites. Thus, if a user clicks “ I like” in a page of sports shoes, you may thereafter announcements will appear similar products on other websites.

With the data collected through a history of Facebook likes and dislikes of each person, which enable companies to better identify potential buyers is made.

Atlas Facebook bought last year by Microsoft $ 100 million and completely redesigned before launch, within its strategy to increase the economic use that can extract information from its users.

So far, the network founded by Mark Zuckerberg selling advertising space on the network and calls using cookies to track users’ tastes as they sailed by other websites.

However, the cookies have inaccuracies and no track navigation on mobile devices, which Atlas, through Facebook, it does.

With this move, the network is approaching its big competitor in online advertising, Google, which is still on by a wide margin.

Scientists puzzled by a mysterious glow seen in the m – La Vanguardia

Madrid. (EP) .- spacecraft Cassini NASA is following the evolution of a mysterious feature the sea of ​​oil Ligeia Mare in the Moon Saturn Titan . Through the images captured by the probe, scientists have found that the appearance of this large body of water, one of the largest satellite, has changed in recent years.

In one of the Cassini observations in July 2013, the mission team saw a feature in the photographs, shone on the dark background of the liquid sea. It was the first time that this anomaly, which did not appear in the data from previous flybys looked.

Scientists were puzzled to find this shine and discover that, months later, it had vanished. This led to some team members to suggest it might have been a transient feature. But during the flyby on August 21, 2014, the property was again visible. That is, his appearance had changed in the past 11 months since he was last seen.

NASA has already ruled that this event is the result of a defect in the Cassini radar and it is therefore evaporation in the sea as the coast of Ligeia Mare has not changed significantly. On the contrary, it has been suggested that this feature might be the result of surface waves, rising bubbles, a floating solid or suspended just below the surface, or perhaps “something more exotic.”

Researchers suspect that the appearance of this feature could be related to the change of seasons in Titan . Monitoring such changes is an important current goal Cassini extended mission.

“Science loves mysteries, and this enigmatic feature, we have a thrilling example of ongoing changes on Titan” he pointed out one of the leaders of the mission, Stephen Wall. “We hope that we will be able to continue watching the changes unfold and get an idea about what is happening in that alien sea,” he concluded.

Uncover remains of living plankton outside the station … – The Courier

The occupants of the International Space Station (ISS) have come up with new evidence confirms the theory that life can exist without oxygen, under the scrutiny of cosmic radiation and the vacuum dominates beyond the atmosphere Earth. And Russian officials have reported that the crew of the ISS located during a routine hike in August, plankton and other organisms alive in the outer shell of the facility.

These experts argue that these tiny life forms could be there before launch. That is, they could have flown transported by air currents.

“The results of the experiment are quite unique,” said the head of the Russian orbital mission, Vladimir Soloviev. The expert indicated that is still being worked on to know the origin of these microscopic particles and how they came to the surface of the device.

As the type of plankton found, has indicated that it is equal to that can be found on the surface of the oceans during the development stage. In this sense, Roscosmos said that “not typical” of Baikonur, where releases are made.

Meanwhile, NASA thinks the idea of ​​the updrafts of the Earth as the cause the presence of plankton in space is completely “ridiculous.” In addition, Americans say they have not been officially informed of this event by Russia. “As far as we are concerned, we have not seen or heard the official reports of our colleagues Roscosmos about plankton found”, explained to Space.com NASA spokesman Dan Huot.

Nuclear fusion will solve the greenhouse effect, says Hawking – Pulso de San Luis

Hawking S Santa Cruz de Tenerife.- Physicist Stephen Hawking said today that the technological breakthrough that would like to see in the next hundred years is nuclear fusion because it the planet’s energy problem would be solved and we would save the greenhouse gases. /> Hawking was responding one of the questions chosen by Starmus Festival, which since Monday has joined the Atlantic island of Tenerife science , music and art and was closed today with a lecture by British physicist. /> Hawking, that when you got to choose between traveling to the Big Bang or the future chose the second choice because, he said, you know what happened in the past, said that may have Earth-like planets but does not believe in the existence of UFOs. /> The physicist said that the more you discover, the more mysteries there, so do not think that once the investigations are finished and explained that in his field, the physical fundamental and cosmology, not the implications of string theory are understood, and did not even know if it is correct. /> added that no one has thought of the nature of matter and dark energy, if particles, fields, or modifications of the theory. /> Hawking also joked about black holes, of which he said are not as black as the paint and can leave of them, both outwardly as possibly in another universe, so if someone feels that it is in a black hole should not give up because no output. /> During his talk on black holes Stephen Hawking said that they have an edge, called the event horizon, beyond which no return and falls for him. /> explained that in application of quantum mechanics, if a particle falls into a black hole or your partner may not fall, and in the second case is what gives rise to the radiation emitted by black holes. /> The antiparticle falling to black hole can be considered as a particle that is traveling to the past, Hawking said. /> He added that when a particle falls into a black hole information could be lost, which would be bad because during the last two hundred years we have believed in scientific determinism. /> For Stephen Hawking, if determinism fails with black holes may fail on other issues. /> indicated that from the outside of a black hole can not be sure whether or not there, which is always the possibility that does not exist. /> But asked if possible falling into a black hole and exit at another universe, and replied that in that case should have a hall to the other universe, but could not return.

More recently, the July 4, 2012, a team of scientists at CERN announced the discovery of a subatomic particle could be the Higgs boson , a particle considered key to understanding the universe.

experiments conducted at CERN facilities , specifically in CMS (a detector in the Large Hadron Collider, LHC) and ATLAS (other experiments), sought to confirm the theories proposed in 1964 by Peter Higgs (UK), and François Englert (Belgium) and Robert Brout (EE .S.).

Very close to it after new evidence in 2013 that indicated that the new particle is looking more and more like a Higgs boson, the Higgs Englert and scientists received the Nobel Prize in Physics that year. A few months earlier, both physical and CERN itself received the Prince of Asturias Prize for Scientific Research for his research.



Birth after World War II

The CERN He was born on September 29, 1954, although its origins date back to the 1940s a small group of visionary scientists and public administrators on both sides of the Atlantic, identified basic research as a vehicle to rebuild the devastated continent .

At CERN speak the universal language of science

“For six decades, CERN has been a place where people can work together, regardless of culture and nationality. formed a bridge between cultures to speak a universal language, that language is science, “said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer, as recorded by the organism in a note.

In 1954, 12 member states signed the founding act that led the agency could start working. In later years more countries have joined the CERN, including Spain , and currently has 21 members and more than 10,000 users worldwide.

“With time, CERN has become worldwide leader in laboratory particle physics , always focused on achieving excellence, “noted the President of the CERN Council, Agnieszka Zalewska.

Thanks to the instruments made by the body, such as accelerators of ever more powerful particle and research findings, CERN has been able to explore new frontiers of energy.

Madrid. (EP) .- Researchers at the National Cancer Research Centre ( CNIO ), led by Irene Miranda, Bruno Sainz and Christopher Heeschen, have discovered and characterized a New specific marker cancer stem cells : riboflavin or vitamin B2, Responsible Development tumors .

This is a pigment that emits green fluorescence as a result of their accumulation in intracellular vesicles. This property will light for tracing, isolation and subsequent purification without the need for antibodies or other more complex techniques and higher cost.

The results have been published in the journal Nature Methods . “The discovery of this new marker is a breakthrough because it identifies tumor stem cells are more invasive and chemoresistant. Autofluorescence of these cells allow tracking them in an easy, simple and cheap way, and to study the origin of the chemoresistance of tumors, “said Miranda.

Why tumor stem cells accumulate vitamin B2?

In particular, the discovery has been made in several tumor types, including samples from patients with pancreatic, liver, colon and lung cancer, raises the question “why tumor stem cells accumulate vitamin B2? “.

A question that has been answered by the experts of the CNIO to show that this accumulation increased ABCG2 protein responsible for transporting vitamin is due to the within intracellular vesicles that give light to the cells.

But, no reason why this phenomenon occurs is known. However, experts believe that the autofluorescence might pursue personalized medicine of the future and the development of more effective cancer treatments.

“From now on autofluorescence can isolate cells from a biopsy and sensitivity test a panel already marketed or experimental drug. Thus we accelerate the identification of new drugs or combinations that are able to kill cancer stem cells of the particular patient “experts explained.

Reduced to a dwarf planet, Pluto wants to return to stardom – The World

Pluto was demoted in 2006 to the rank of “dwarf planet” in a debate that turned the scientific world and that eight years later he returned to the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in the United States, with a discussion between experts of planetary science.

“We wanted people to talk about it again,” said public relations specialist institution, Christine Pulliam, when asked why one of the leading centers of astrophysics again discuss the output of the Solar System, its former ninth planet.

Eight years ago, in 2006, more than 2,500 experts from 75 countries They met in Prague at the International Astronomical Union (IAU, for its acronym in English), and established a new universal definition of what a planet is considered.

This definition distinguishes between eight “classical” planets revolving in orbits around the sun and bodies left out “dwarf” as Pluto, which was the same level as the 50 round bodies that revolve around the Sun in the Kuiper belt.

But, Defenders of the “ugly duckling” of the solar system did not give up and even marched in demonstrations, asked scientists to return to admit Pluto in the big club, crying over and over again: “size does not matter” <. / p>

So, eight years later and when less than a year to be held in Honolulu (Hawaii, USA) General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU, for their acronym in English), the Harvard-Smithsonian Center reopened the debate.

by the institution invited three experts with different opinions. The scientific historian Owen Gingerich, who chaired the committee defining IAU planets defended the status of Pluto as a planet from a historical point of view, arguing that “a planet is a word that culturally defined changes over time. “

How could the International Astronomical Union said that Pluto was a dwarf planet and then deny the position of the planet? What was then, only a dwarf? Gingerich believes that the IAU did an “abuse of language” in trying to define the word planet and, therefore, should not have expelled Pluto.

The contrary view defended the associate director Minor Planet Center, Gareth Williams , who supported the expulsion of Pluto and defined the planets as “spherical bodies that orbit the sun and have cleared their way”, ie, to have cleared its orbit other stars.

Meanwhile, the director of the Origins of Life Initiative at Harvard, Dimitar Sasselov , established that a planet is “smaller mass ball of matter formed around stars or stellar remnants, “which, in his opinion, Pluto returns to the planetary club.

At the end of the presentations, an audience of all ages remembered his old books Text and voted with yellow cards for the return of the former ninth planet.

In fact, since its discovery in 1930 by the American Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto has been subject of disputes , especially due to its size, much smaller than the Earth, and even the Moon.

The claim is made and the controversy could reawaken during the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in 2015, the same year in which it is anticipated that got Pluto probe “New Horizons”, sent by NASA in 2006.

Of course, this discovery is just a chance alignment of rocks and forms. However, highlights how interesting the surface of Mars.

Another recent and curious discovery on the surface of Mars is a naturally perfect ball lying on a flat rock. According to NASA scientists, is not as great as it seems-that only about two-fifths of a inch-and is more likely to be a “specificity”, ie, a hard solid mass formed by the accumulation of matter .

The iOS 8.0.1 update had to be removed just one hour after made available to users because of the problems they experienced during installation, including off the phone service.

In a statement released this Friday, Apple said it had resolved the issue, while the sensor has been repaired Touch, which allows you to unlock the phone with fingerprints without using any numerical code, and the problems caused by the application portal HealthKit health.

“We apologize for the inconvenience caused to users of iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus and who were affected by the worm iOS software update 8.0.1, “Apple said in the note.

Apple estimates that iOS 8.0.1 problems affected some 40,000 devices in worldwide.

In addition, the company said it has received nine complaints from users that they have doubled the new iPhone 6, but said they are “extremely rare” cases, in an attempt to quell the controversy sparked by a video posted on the internet in a doubles iPhone using only the strength of their hands.

The video has caused a stir on social networks and has caused several complaints users to ensure that they have doubled the iPhone 6 Plus-the largest model made all iPhone until now simply because it fits on the pocket.

The iPhone 6 is released in Spain without long queues but with orders … – The País.com (Spain)

Roberto Ortiz, first iPhone buyer in Spain 6 / carlos rosillo

From the early hours of Friday, the first buyers Spanish and have their hands on the coveted iPhone 6 which has come to Spain amid great excitement that has resulted in record bookings, although discrete lines at Madrid three stores that have opened their doors to get ahead on the sale of new smartphone Apple, both in its 4.7-inch screen as your model Plus, 5.5 inches.

The commercial release of the new Apple product occurred simultaneously at midnight this Friday the megastore (Flagship Store) Telefónica Gran Via and in stores Orange Sun and Goya, all in the center of the capital. The lateness of the hour or the fact that customers have chosen to use the channel Online to make reservations, have caused long lines are not formed.

The first buyer Telefónica shop, where about 60 people were waiting before the opening, was Roberto Ortiz, 26, an employee at a video game store, which has been declared fan of the brand of Cupertino, “although not a believer “. “Despite all I’ve had previous versions, is the first time I queue for a model. I preferred to come at night because in the morning sure there are more queues. There has been much anticipation for this model, “said Ortiz, who has purchased the Plus 64 GB, black color, model 834 euros.

This buyer has declared that he is not concerned the problems detected in some models whose extreme flexibility leads them to bend when, for example, get in the back pocket. “If it happens that, go to the store and Apple changed me,” he says.

Although the queues have not been too many tonight, the Flip iPhone 6 seems guaranteed, according to figures from reserves and pre operators who handle that since last Friday enable customers to place orders via the web. In fact, according to figures given by the three operators, the iPhone 6 is causing the same expectation that the first model that brought the company in 2008.

In this line, Telefónica has received in the last three days 10,000 reserve apparatus, and expects sales of 30,000 iPhone 6 per month, ie, reaching almost 400,000 terminals in a year. “The business expectations far exceed previous models and are only comparable to those of the first iPhone,” said Juan Luis Cobos, director of logistics terminals Telefonica Spain.

Cobos believes the fact the iPhone 6 have had much more pull is due to screen size, Apple has finally decided to expand to cope with the competition. In fact, 40% of orders received Telefónica is the Plus model with the larger screen of 5.5 inches, which costs 100 euros more than 4.7 inches.

So corroborates Manolo, a Chinese restaurant owner in the district of Ciudad Lineal. “My iPhone screen was too small. Now you can enjoy all the features of Apple on a screen under “indicates shift while waiting to buy an iPhone Plus 64GB.

Just 500 meters south, at the door of the Sun, the first buyer in shop Orange Sun was Fernando, 22, an assistant director of student who has acquired Plus 16GB model. Admirer of the brand also represents and acknowledges that needed to have a larger screen.



Apple Store this Friday

Apple has chosen to delay a few hours selling your terminal, both his shop in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol and the Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona. Instead, the firm apple forward the opening of two shopping centers at eight o’clock.

MADRID, Sept. 27 (Portaltic / EP) –

The controversy over the lack of resistance of new iPhone 6 continues. #Bendgate Now known as the problem reported by a minority of users continues to speak. A comparison with some of the rivals of the new iPhone 6 allows you to check that the Apple devices offer less resistance than other devices, but are far from weak teams.

After the release of the new iPhone 6 Apple has faced two major setbacks. The first was iOS8 problems and update failed. The second has been called #Bendgate. Several users have alerted deformations on your iPhone 6, pointing to lack of resistance to pressure.

The #Bendgate has helped Apple’s rivals attacked and mocked by the company and to generate some uncertainty around devices.

As you can see in the video, the evidence confirms that the iPhone 6 M8 One and HTC are the first to begin to sag. In particular, both devices do so at a pressure equivalent to 70 lbs (about 31.7 kilograms). The next to give the iPhone 6 Plus, doing so at a pressure of 90 lbs (40.8 kg). Gone are the other terminals, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 as the most resistant features, holding up to 150 lbs (68 kg).

It is thus confirmed that the iPhone 6 next to HTC One M8 , the devices are tested with less resistance. Nevertheless, the evidence makes clear that it can not be considered as fragile these devices. The pressure required for deformation is significant, as shown, and despite this, the devices still work.
