The co-founder of YouTube suggests increasing the bandwidth that was accompanied by improved quality videos, while videos long as films have made their appearance and mode of access fee is under consideration. The platform destination for surfers and has gradually opened to professionals, and YouTube does not seem to do without music videos by signing agreements to broadcast hard-won with four major music companies.

Internet fraud: FBI stops 53 people

According to a report by the New York Times, the FBI has launched its "Operation Phish Phry" and just arrested 53 people suspected of being involved in a major case of fraud on Internet phishing. These arrests took place in Southern California, Nevada and North Carolina. For its part, Egypt is poised to arrest 47 people found complicit in these criminal actions including Internet activities.

According to the FBI, is the first time so many of those arrested are mixed with one such case. The victims of this wave of phishing were clients of two of the country's biggest banks: Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

In the traditional way of phishing, email received seemed legitimate and come from the banks in question and offered a link to a fraudulent website mimicking that of the financial institution. From this page the user was prompted to enter their personal and financial information. The stolen money was paid into the bank accounts of pirates based in the United States, which then transferred a portion of these funds to associates based in Egypt. "Everything was very well done, very well thought out and everyone was paid," says Bolcar, head of the FBI in Los Angeles.

At the head of this network, we found Kenneth Joseph Lucas, a young man of 25 years helped by John Clarke and Nichole Merz. All 53 people arrested could face up to 20 years imprisonment.

Oracle and Sun Are Faster than IBM

Oracle announced a new world record TPC-C benchmark result for Oracle® Database 11g running on Sun SPARC® servers with CMT technology and the Sun Solaris Operating System(1). This result proves that the Oracle-Sun combination runs faster than IBM DB2 running on IBM’s flagship Power 595(2).
The Oracle-Sun benchmark used an innovative combination of Sun’s fast CMT servers to power the database, along with Sun’s new flash technology to speed I/O.
Oracle Real Application Clusters allowed Sun and Oracle to scale performance on a 12-Node Sun SPARC® Enterprise T5440 cluster. Oracle Real Application Clusters is in production use at thousands of customers, enabling transparent scaling of real-world business applications.
With this benchmark, Oracle and Sun become the first vendors to achieve world record TPC-C performance results using Flash Storage technology. Using the Sun™ Storage F5100 Flash Array, Oracle and Sun were able to set the world record using eight times less hardware than IBM used for its largest benchmark (3).
The Oracle-Sun configuration consumed four times less energy than the IBM configuration even though it ran 26 percent faster.
The Oracle-Sun benchmark demonstrated 16 times better transaction response times than the IBM benchmark(4).
Oracle Database 11g running on the Solaris™ 10 Operating System achieved a record-breaking 7.7 million tpmC at $2.34/tpmC.
Oracle is now the TPC-C world record holder in both major categories – performance(1) and price/performance(5).

Microsoft Loses Sidekick Users' Personal Data

Contacts, calendar entries, photographs, and other personal information of Sidekick users has almost certainly been lost for good following a service disruption at Sidekick provider Danger, the Microsoft subsidiary said on Saturday.

The amount of data and number of users affected wasn't disclosed by Microsoft or T-Mobile, but the Sidekick support forums are buzzing with pleas from users looking for tips on how to restore their devices or get their data back.

On Saturday, Microsoft said any data that users had on their devices and is no longer there has almost certainly been permanently lost.

"That said, our teams continue to work around-the-clock in hopes of discovering some way to recover this information. However, the likelihood of a successful outcome is extremely low," T-Mobile said in a statement.

The problems have been going on since earlier this week and have been compounded by users who attempted to reset their devices to restore functionality. The reset clears the Sidekick of stored data -- data which is usually backed to the Danger servers but has now been lost from there.

"We continue to advise customers to NOT reset their device by removing the battery or letting their battery drain completely, as any personal content that currently resides on your device will be lost," T-Mobile said.

T-Mobile and Microsoft said they would provide an update on data recovery efforts on Monday.

The service failure is an embarrassment for Microsoft and T-Mobile and again highlights the potential danger of entrusting trusting personal data to the cloud, a model that many service providers are pushing as a safe and more convenient way to handle data.

Hynix announced the Second Generation 1Gb DDR3

Hynix Semiconductor has announced the second generation 1Gb (Gigabits) DDR3 using 54nm process technology.

Hynix?s new 1Gb DDR3, offered in x4 (H5TQ1G43TFR) and x8 (H5TQ1G83TFR) organizations, has design modifications that reduce power consumption of the device.

The new product operates at 1.5V (volts) power supply as the existing 1Gb DDR3 product and further reduces power consumption by 30% over the existing one. According to the iSuppli, a market research firm, the portion of the world wide 1Gb DDR3 is currently estimated to be 87%. The iSuppli estimates that higher densities will become the mainstream when it is expected to account for more than 50% in 2011.

Highly virtualized applications such as data centers, servers and supercomputers as well as mobile applications requiring longer battery life could take advantage of this product to enable reduction of power consumption.

The new design philosophy adopted on the second generation 1Gb DDR3, will also be applied to future design of DRAM components including 2Gb DDR3 with 40nm-class technology, the company said.

The product has been produced in mass volume from this month.

LG Unveils Solar powered e-Book

LG Display today unveiled an e-book that is equipped with in-house developed solar cell.

The thin-film solar cell featured in the e-book measures 10 centimeters in width and length, it was developed to fit the 6-inch display panel for e-book currently mass produced by LG Display. The solar cell measures 0.7 millimeter in thickness and weighs a mere 20 grams, the less thickness of a credit card and the weight of a fountain pen.

The thin-film solar cell is produced by placing electrodes onto a glass or plastic substrate. Contrary to widely adopted crystalline solar cells that employ silicon wafers, the thin-film solar cell is generally light-weight and easily adjustable in size and form for applications such as e-books or mobile phones.

Thin-film type solar cells are being hailed as a solution to the problems associated with widely adopted crystalline solar cells that employ silicon wafers. Problems include a lack of materials and the high price of materials. By placing electrodes onto a glass or plastic substrate rather than a silicon wafer, process efficiency can be raised by increasing the substrate size. Additionally, the technology would not be susceptible to weight adjustments or conditions of the installation location, making it relatively stable against changes in the external environment.

The current energy conversion efficiency rate of this product is approximately 9.6 percent. Exposure to sunlight for about four to five hours would extend the running time of the e-book?s battery by a day without the need for additional charging.




LG Display previously had announced plans to nurture its thin-film solar cell business as a future growth driver. The company aims to raise the energy conversion efficiency rate to 12% by 2010, and eventually achieve efficiency rate of 14% in 2012 to prepare for commercialization.

During IMID (International Meeting on Information Display) 2009?, LG Display will showcase the prototype of solar e-book, as well as its newest display technologies in KINTEX, Gyenggi, Korea.
