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
Sharp continues its foray into the 3D world, unveiling the first 3D sensor intended for mobile devices that can take photos and videos in three dimensions in a resolution of 720p.
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
