A new iPhone did not watch again

Leaked in the internet images of the new iPhone all thrilled, and caused a wave of disputes - not fake it? As it turned out, no. Moreover, this gadget has lost a bar worker Apple, which was recognized in the company . It seems that the security service Apple does not specifically modify, as laid out in the network, ordinary photos of the new iPhone. At this time the distinguished Vietnamese comrades.

Judging from photographs, Vietnam discovery is very similar to the previously lost by Apple prototype device. However, the new version of the fourth-generation iPhone looks more perfect. Although the overall general view of the device has not changed - since then he has remained flat back, a big screen and metal casing.

But on the back cover is a new label - 16GB. It turns out that in the smartphone 16 gigabytes of memory, although previously lost iPhone 4G at this place adorned following: XXGB.

Of course, the Vietnamese did not resist the temptation to unleash ensnared them gadget. And what do you think? Inside, they found him processor Apple. Another allusion to the fact that we face yet new iPhone.

The very same company Apple, despite these failings, is silent on the date of the announcement of its next generation smartphone. But, as expected, it will be presented in June, developer conference Apple.

Panasonic Laptop-APC: new version

Panasonic is a king of consumer electronics market. Customers love it, in particular, the unusual camera next generation , camcorder-champions and innovative television . Perhaps not everyone knows, but this Japanese company manufactures ruggedized laptops.  Recently introduced a new version of such a machine with 13-inch Toughbook 31.

Of course, the main feature of a secure laptop Panasonic Toughbook 31 - his body. He is a heavy duty, made of magnesium alloy and meets U.S. military standard MIL-STD-810G. But the fire on a computer should not be - from a bullet magnesium body will not save. But Toughbook laptop computer 31 could fearlessly drop, spray water from a hose or even to clean the freezer. If desired, the computer can even beat a rug or chop nuts, because Toughbook 31 was not afraid of no vibration shake-up, no dust.

But the Japanese are not stupid and understand that without a serious stuffing a computer is doomed to failure. So what about the "iron" for the Toughbook 31 they saw on the conscience by setting it in the latest processors and Intel Core i3 Core i5 with speeds up to 2.53 gigahertz, all kinds of wireless modules, as well as discrete graphics ATI Radeon HD 5650. So, beating laptop carpet, you can also easily look at it FullHD-movie.

You have to understand that working Toughbook 31 to the harsh conditions. This may be building in the middle of the desert, the oil derrick in the extreme north, the aircraft carrier deck. So, first, to get to the outlet may be difficult, and, secondly, the bright sun is unlikely to work comfortably (at normal laptop screen in such circumstances would go blind). But engineers Panasonic've done the setting in the Toughbook 31 is very capacious battery, allowing him to work autonomously 11 hours, as well as very bright touch screen, which is not afraid of the sun.

Of course, the budget like a computer does not pretend. So, wishing to buy a real laptop neubivaemy have to pay for Panasonic Toughbook 31 not less than 3800 dollars.

The lack of Linux on the PS3 problem for American scientists

By blocking the installation of another OS than the default on the Playstation 3, Sony has angered some users, especially Linux users, but not limited to: the manufacturer has also posed a serious challenge to American air force.

Last year, the Research Laboratory of the Air Force, located in Rome in upstate New York had indeed made the acquisition of over 2,000 PS3 to perform complex calculations at lower cost: the researchers The Cell processor used by the console, which has a computing power of 230.4 gigaflops vector, actually offered a price-performance ratio excellent - an investment of over two million dollars for a power calculation to 500 Teraflops total.

Only problem: all the consoles used by the Air Force are configured Linux operating system now impossible to install on the console since the establishment of the Sony firmware. And if the problem does not arise for the Playstation 3 already installed, since they are not related to the Playstation Network and does not require updating, the situation is more delicate when it comes to replacing faulty machines.

Asked by Arstechnica, the Air Force Research Laboratory has not hidden his annoyance about this situation: "We must continue to use the systems we've already got," said one official of the laboratory, "but it will be very difficult to replace the models down. The problem is that when they come home from after-sales service Sony, they have the gameOS and firmware update that prevents the replacement of the operating system. We are aware of the collective action pending against Sony regarding this restriction, "he added.

The Laboratory of the Air Force is not the only research site using ps3 to be confronted with this problem: the University of Massachusetts uses in effect since 2007, 16 mounted Playstation 3 network and study gravitational waves black holes . "It is very likely that the raw computing power per dollar offered by the PS3 is significantly higher than any other machine offered on the market today" said a few months ago one of the researchers at UMass. But consoles running on Linux ...

These projects will continue to move until the machines remain in working condition, and that the second hand market will offer alternatives to the researchers. But if the situation could be a lesson to the U.S. Air Force on the use of equipment for the public to perform scientific calculations, for the U.S. Army laboratory, it is an economic need: "The market and gaming graphics is always at the forefront, and lowers the cost of high performance computing, the FLOPS / dollar WATTS. It is very important for high performance computing, our field of expertise. It is a rapidly evolving business and technology sponsored by the major consumer markets will always be advantageous in cost. This gives us the means to develop the HPC at low cost, with a limited budget, "commented the spokesman of the laboratory.

United States and Europe: Red Card to Facebook

Again, the institutions responsible for preservation of data are rolling their eyes at the social network Facebook. On one hand, the EU considers "unacceptable" changes in distribution of personal information. On the other hand, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) American believes the site should apply to itself some of its principles.

The representatives of the authorities responsible for protecting data from 27 states of the European Union sent a protest letter to Facebook and said that users should "freely give their consent and without ambiguity" in the publication of their personal information. Also called the task force of section 29, the representatives met this week to identify some good practices.

The group has "addressed his criticisms to 20 social networking sites claiming the need for a default setting limiting data about users and sites they visit." At the same time, the non-governmental American EFF has also criticized the Facebook privacy policy.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation challenges the successive turns of the site on the component of personal data. While Facebook explained that "users are free to decide whom they want to share their information and thus regulate methods of dissemination, this time the position has changed.

Faced with criticism about the preservation of personal data, an official of the social network has dropped "If you're not familiar with sharing information, there is no reason for you to do." Translation, those who do not like Facebook are asked to leave. As the successive changes of conditions of use, the discourse has changed.

Google will respond directly to your questions (in English)

After unveiling a brand new interface last week, Google's engineers are still trying to improve their search engine. Indeed, Google technology Squared has been reworked and improved, particularly in regard to the extraction and manipulation of data. Initially, Google Squared was used to organize search results in tabular form.

In the work of this new implementation, technology transforms real Squared Google search engine semantics. In this sense, Google has to deal with competitors such as specialized Wolfram Alpha has recently signed an agreement with Microsoft and the team of Bing. At Yahoo!, The semantic web has translated into the integration of Yahoo! Answers.

Now it is possible to formulate a question in English to get ahead of the results page answer short and precise and the various sources of information. For now, only queries that type made in English return such results. One imagines that this device will be available in all languages.

Sharp announces a 3D sensor for mobile devices

The module has two sensors to reconstruct the image in stereoscopic 3D and also has functions of synchronization of color, brightness, and latency, and operates a correct positioning of the image for rendering.

The mark does not give more details on this sensor, except that it will be for mobile phones, digital cameras or portable consoles - a reminder, Sharp should equip 3DS Nintendo with its screen Tactile 3D . Sharp also indicates that samples be sent to manufacturers in July, and begin production by end of 2010.

6.2 Million 3D TVs Expected to be Sold Globally in 2010

3D TV market is expected to represent 3% of all TV market with 6.2M units in 2010 and among these, 5M units are expected to be 3D LCD TV and 1.2M units for PDP TV, acording to the research firm Displaybank.

Displaybank forecasts 6.2M 3D TVs will be sold in 2010 growing to 33M units in 2012 and 83M units by 2014 to represent 31% of all TV market.

In terms of device type, 3D LCD TV market is expected to reach 5.1M units in 2010 to represent 81% of total 3D TV market and is expected to be mainly applied to premium products utilizing Full HD and 240Hz in large-sized TVs over 40" in size. By 2014, 3D LCD TV market size would reach about 70M units to represent 28% of all LCD TV market.

In 2010, 3D PDP TV is expected to penetrate 8% of all PDP TV market but by 2014, most of PDP TV makers are expected to apply 3D as one of TV?s function that 3D PDP TV is expected to represent 99% of all PDP TVs.

Sarah Han, senior analyst in Display research group at Displaybank noted "shutter glass type would be the mainstream 3D TV technology type in 2010. Excluding LG Electronics, other major TV makers including Samsung Electronics, Sony and Panasonic are launching 3D LCD TV with shutter glass type and polarizer glass type would only show 2% penetration in 2014". Han added that Displaybank expects the glassless type 3D TV to be unveiled in 2014.

Andy Yu, vice president in Display research group at Displaybank noted "3D TV market is expected to see sharp growth marking year 2010 through the aggressive strategies by makers. In 2010, major 4 makers?, including Samsung, LG, Sony and Panasonic, 3D TV lineup expand to 40 or more models including planned to be launched and the companies? combined sales target reach 6.9M units. During the second-half of 2010 when 240Hz panels are actively launched, other makers will participate in 3D TV market but as 3D is being applied to premium products that it will take some time for 3D TV to enter mainstream".

Facebook Enhances Protection Against Unauthorized Logins

Facebook today announced some new tools and systems designed to keep its users' accounts and information secure abreast of suspicious activity.

A new feature allows users to approve the devices they commonly use to log in and then to be notified whenever their account is accessed from a device they haven't approved.

The new "Account Security
" feature allows FAcebook users to receive notifications for logins from new devices. When they log in, they'll be asked to name and save the various devices they use to access Facebook. For example, users can save their home computer, their school or work computer, and their mobile phone. Once they've done this, whenever someone logs in to their account from a device not on this list, Facebook will ask the person to name the device.

Facebook will also send users an immediate email notification or a text message - so that they're always up to speed on how their account is being accessed. This notification will provide steps on how to reset a password and remove the device.

Facebook also built a new system to block suspicious logins before they happen. When Facebook see that someone is trying to access a user's account from an unusual device, facebook will ask the person to answer an additional verification question to prove his or her identity as the real account owner. Once the identity isconfirmed, users will have the opportunity to review recent logins on their account and reset their password if they see logins that they don't recognize
