    attention to blackmail webcam


    A new scam is exploding in France for a few months, this is a scam or blackmail webcam. Nearly 2,000 victims have been identified by the police in 2012, against less than 600 the year before. In most cases, this type of blackmail is operated by African or African origin and that blackmail can kill, as at least two deaths are directly attributed to this scam.The principle of blackmail webcam is simple, cause a victim in a naughty chat on the internet, causing it to even partially undress in front of her webcam and during this time on the other side of the world, the Ivory Coast a "grazer" recording video. Very quickly the exchange becomes threatening and malicious individual has a financial blackmail in exchange for non-publication of the video on the web.Often the scammer or master singer requires only ten euros to shoe his victim, but soon enough once the first payments, auctions rise and the victims do not know what to do. Caught between the shameful situation in which they are put, public shame, possible family breakdown, the possible loss of a job, etc.. The police are pretty powerless in this new form of fraud, because in almost all cases, it is people living in Africa and overpowering enough French to pretend to be a "neighbor" in of Otherwise it is a African national living in France, but using a network of people in Côte d'Ivoire in particular, to repatriate funds.In 2012, nearly 2,000 victims have been identified instead of 600 the year before, but the police believe that many victims do not manifest to file a complaint or have paid the scammer. But sometimes the story ends badly, as at least two teenagers who committed suicide recently, blackmailed after having posed nude in front of the webcam and having discovered the video on YouTube.
    Figures show that currently 50 videos like this are posted every day on online video platforms, against one every week there are only 3 years! A worrying explosion, against which there is a solution for now: stay very wise behind her webcam, especially with "virtually unknown".

    SONY'S THIRD BEHIND APPL and Saumsung






    According to the IDC for the first half of 2013, the latest figures from sales of smartphones in Europe, compiled by IDC show that Sony took third place with 3.2 million handsets, behind the usual Samsung (14.3 million ) and Apple (6.2 million).

    NASA discovers 10,000th near-Earth object


    More than 10,000 asteroids and comets that can pass near Earth have now been discovered. The 10,000th near-Earth object, asteroid 2013 MZ5, was first detected on the night of June 18, 2013, by the Pan-STARRS-1 telescope, located on the 10,000-foot (3,000-meter) summit of the Haleakala crater on Maui. Managed by the University of Hawaii, the PanSTARRS survey receives NASA funding.
    Ninety-eight percent of all near-Earth objects discovered were first detected by NASA-supported surveys.
    “Finding 10,000 near-Earth objects is a significant milestone,” said Lindley Johnson, program executive for NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations Program at NASA Headquarters, Washington. “But there are at least 10 times that many more to be found before we can be assured we will have found any and all that could impact and do significant harm to the citizens of Earth.” During Johnson’s decade-long tenure, 76 percent of the NEO discoveries have been made.
    Near-Earth objects (NEOs) are asteroids and comets that can approach the Earth’s orbital distance to within about 28 million miles (45 million kilometers). They range in size from as small as a few feet to as large as 25 miles (41 kilometers) for the largest near-Earth asteroid, 1036 Ganymed.
    Asteroid 2013 MZ5 is approximately 1,000 feet (300 meters) across. Its orbit is well understood and will not approach close enough to Earth to be considered potentially hazardous.
    “The first near-Earth object was discovered in 1898,” said Don Yeomans, long-time manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “Over the next hundred years, only about 500 had been found. But then, with the advent of NASA’s NEO Observations program in 1998, we’ve been racking them up ever since. And with new, more capable systems coming on line, we are learning even more about where the NEOs are currently in our solar system, and where they will be in the future.”
    Of the 10,000 discoveries, roughly 10 percent are larger than six-tenths of a mile (one kilometer) in size – roughly the size that could produce global consequences should one impact the Earth. However, the NASA NEOO program has found that none of these larger NEOs currently pose an impact threat and probably only a few dozen more of these large NEOs remain undiscovered.
    The vast majority of NEOs are smaller than one kilometer, with the number of objects of a particular size increasing as their sizes decrease. For example, there are expected to be about 15,000 NEOs that are about one-and-half football fields in size (460 feet, or 140 meters), and more than a million that are about one-third a football field in size (100 feet, or 30 meters). A NEO hitting Earth would need to be about 100 feet (30 meters) or larger to cause significant devastation in populated areas. Almost 30 percent of the 460-foot-sized NEOs have been found, but less than 1 percent of the 100-foot-sized NEOs have been detected.
    When it originated, the NASA-instituted Near-Earth Object Observations Program provided support to search programs run by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory (LINEAR); the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NEAT); the University of Arizona (Spacewatch, and later Catalina Sky Survey) and the Lowell Observatory (LONEOS). All these search teams report their observations to the Minor Planet Center, the central node where all observations from observatories worldwide are correlated with objects, and they are given unique designations and their orbits are calculated.
    “When I began surveying for asteroids and comets in 1992, a near-Earth object discovery was a rare event,” said Tim Spahr, director of the Minor Planet Center. “These days we average three NEO discoveries a day, and each month the Minor Planet Center receives hundreds of thousands of observations on asteroids, including those in the main-belt. The work done by the NASA surveys, and the other international professional and amateur astronomers, to discover and track NEOs is really remarkable.”

    History of Aviation - The Height of Human Imagination


    If there is one word that is constantly being proved wrong throughout history, it is the word 'impossible'. Whenever a human mind thinks of something that has never been done before, there are always a number of people present to say that it is not possible. Yet, from time to time, human intelligence has proved its superiority over human reasoning. Man has been able to achieve nearly everything that a mind is able to imagine. The best example in this aspect is aviation. From the earliest endeavor of flying via huge birds' wings to the unrevealed secret flying machine in military bases, there is a plethora of moments which added a new wing in the flight of technological advancements. Moreover, the fantasy of flying was not only limited to a certain class. Today, everyone can enjoy the flight as well as flying. Enthusiasts can choose to be air force pilots or commercial pilots. Many training centers and schools are offering training such as floatplane training and float endorsement for leisure flyers.
    Aviation perhaps is one of the most amazing marvels, yet it is also a very common mean of transportation. It is really interesting to see how this unbelievable achievement turned into the business that it is today.
    Supposedly, the very first successful attempt of making an object fly was the kite which was invented in China during 200BC. However, a very ancient myth Greek of Deadlus is also considered to be taken from a real incident. It is said that Deadlus tried to imitate the flight of bird by using wax to stick large wings to his body. The authenticity of this myth is debatable, yet it clearly does define man's wish to fly from the earliest of civilization.
    Even after such failed endeavors, a nearly successful attempt of flying is said to be of around the ninth century. A Berber man took a short flight on his gliding machine and landed back to that point. This can possibly be the earliest glider, but the landing was more of a crash. The first recorded and credible event of such flight is found in year 1010th when an English monk Eilmer of Malmesbury flew about 200 meters in his glider.
    In the 18th century, it was Leonardo Da Vinci who created designs and illustrations that are said to be the major inspiration for what we see as modern aviation. Da Vinci himself was a great believer in human's ability to fly in flying machines. He designed many machines which very much resemble the airplanes and helicopters that we see today.
    The first modern flight was of Jean-Francois and Francois Laurent in a hot air balloon. The concept of hot air flight was nearly a century old, but it was in 1783 when these two gentlemen took the flight. The balloon later was enhanced as a steerable airship by Henri Giffard in 1852.
    Not much later in 1884, the French army made the first ever electric powered airship. The Airships were based on the "lighter than air" theory, which suggested that an object lighter than air can float on the air like a ship on water. This was successfully achieved by heating the air, yet the airships were short lived and fragile. The new century brought a newer concept that was heavier than air flight, but that is a whole new chapter in history of aviation.

    Tuxera Releases High-Performance, Fail-Safe FAT File System for Android and Linux






    HELSINKI, FinlandJune 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
    Delivers Innovative Implementation with Full FAT Interoperability
    Tuxera Inc., the market leader in interoperable file system technologies, announced today a major implementation advancement of the FAT file system. Tuxera FAT provides significantly faster data transfers, much improved application responsiveness, data preserving fail-safe operation and power saving benefits.
    The over 30 years old FAT file system, including FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32, is the most popular file system used in various consumer electronic devices today.
    Due to the rapid data explosion combined with quick advances in processing power and storage media, the requirements for file systems are quickly changing. The old FAT file system is not an optimal fit for modern computing devices where users record vast amounts of pictures, full-HD videos, and store the most important personal data.
    The all-new Tuxera FAT delivers outstanding performance, reliability and interoperability in one package, similar to the widely deployed and proven Tuxera exFAT and Tuxera NTFS. The software outperforms the open source VFAT implementation and tops even Android's default ext4 file system in common benchmarks.
    One of the key innovations in Tuxera FAT is the fail-safe feature, which is missing from open source VFAT. With a fail-safe file system no file is lost or gets corrupted in plug off or power off situations. The highest possible reliability is the result of Tuxera's decade long expertise in developing and maintaining complex, interoperable file systems.
    "We always aim to be one step ahead when it comes to file system technology innovation. Many people think FAT is slow and unreliable but Tuxera's modern implementation proves that this doesn't have to be true. Tuxera FAT has superior performance, reliability, and full interoperability at par with better designed file systems," noted Szabolcs Szakacsits, Tuxera's President and CTO.
    The quality of the redesigned file system has been validated with Tuxera's customers and partners, as well as during SD Card Association's Interoperability Test Sessions. The software is available for immediate deployment on Android and other Linux based systems.

    The thinnest smartphone in the world presented in London by Huawei


    smartphone, london, huawei
    HIGH-TECH
    Chinese telecom giant Huawei has launched in London on Tuesday a new "smart phone" presented as the finest in the world, to compete with high-end models of its rivals Apple and Samsung in foreign markets.

    The setting for the launch of the new smartphoneHuawei date, 18/06, owes nothing to chance. This is a nod to the thickness of the phone to 6.18 mm. To launch outside of China, its traditional base, the Group has chosen to unveil its Ascend P6 at the Roundhouse in London, famous room for hosting concerts Jimy Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

    "Our goal is to provide better products, more innovative products, with a better design," said Richard Yu, general manager of the group. The Ascend P6, which weighs 120 grams and has a touch screen of 119.5 millimeters, will be sold at a suggested retail price of 449 euros (600 dollars). It will be available in 19 countries by the end of July, including China, France, Germany and Italy, before being distributed in a hundred other later.

    Equipment used for spying?

    Huawei began as telecommunications equipment provider before embarking on the mobile phone in the last three years. Founded by a former engineer of the Chinese army, the group has been at the center of controversy between Beijing and Washington over the security of its computer equipment, because of his alleged links with the Chinese government.

    The U.S. Congress last year asked that the group be excluded from public contracts, arguing that its equipment could be used for espionage by China. Huawei has denied these claims, finding they fell protectionism.

    Microsoft gets a patent to make our body ... a network



    Microsoft gets a patent for our body ... a network Microsoft has been granted a patent describing an apparatus transmitting data via small electrical impulses through the body. What exchange of computer data in a simple handshake, secure paymentsThe Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a patent to Microsoft surprising. Introduced in December 2011, this patent titled Biological Entity Communication Channel describes a system capable of using the human body to pass data. This process would send a card to a digital handshake to another person, secure payment by touching finger a terminal, or access to a secure building. To transmit data, the person must wear a small device that Microsoft describes a very partial and vague way. It is composed of three elements: a surface which acts as ground, an insulator layer, and another conductor connected to a communication module for data to be transmitted through the human body. or to log in to some buildings.
    In this diagram taken from the patent granted by the Patent and Trademark Office U.S. Microsoft, an individual has a small indefinite equipment. It can be a bracelet for example. It incorporates a system for transmitting data from a communication module, for small electrical pulses of the order of pico-amps. They are received by a transceiver equivalent that the person will feel. © Microsoft

    The network is us!

    However, using the human body to transmit data is not an invention of Microsoft. Early theories on the subject date from 1997 and were conducted by MIT. Many studies on this called "human modem" or "the human body network" system have been made since. At CES 2012 in Las Vegas, Ericsson's boss had even conducted a demonstration in which he had sent a photo from his phone to display it on a TV with no other connection than his own body.

    Japanese telecom giant NTT rival KDDI or its equivalent Korean ETRI work a lot on the subject. Thus, NTT would have come to pass data through the human at a rate of 10 Mbits / s body. According to the researchers, it is even possible to reach 17 Mbit / s. The laboratory has also conducted studies on the potential harmfulness of such a system. The current passing through the body would be only a few pico-amperes. In the current research, there would be no effect on the human body.

    A secure connection by Microsoft

    Rest securing data in transit. Imagine a sensor placed near the skin can intercept. In this case, Microsoft replied that it depends on the frequency of the signal used. Thus, taking the example of a frequency of 400 MHz, the signal is not detectable at a distance greater than 8 mm. It is this system that would ensure the security of data transmissions. In other cases, it is possible to increase the frequency to 1.5 GHz in order to ensure a non-contact transmission, and identify themselves to open the door to secure access without having to touch anything whatsoever. Practice when it was crowded arm.

    If, with this patent, Microsoft has thought about data security and the practical applications of such a device, it really is vague on the equipment. And we can not rely on the available schemes to know specifically what Microsoft plans to do with this patent, except maybe ... be patient.

    manifestations in brazil


    The president of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, facing a historic social unrest, promised Friday to receive the "protest leaders" and work towards a "grand bargain to improve public services."
    "I want to reiterate that my government is listening to the voices demanding democratic change," Rousseff said in a solemn address to the nation, 24 hours after the protests marred by violence that spilled 1.2 million Brazilians in the streets, in During a 10 minute speech broadcast by radio and television stations in the country.
    But she warned it would not tolerate a "violent and authoritarian minority dirty a democratic and peaceful movement," destroying "the public and private property." "I will invite the governors, mayors of major cities, forming a great pact around the improvement of public services," said the president. She cited transport quality "fair prices", health, and education, for which she reiterated her desire to devote 100% of the country's oil revenues, a paralyzed by strong locks project policies.

    Brazilian President announced that she would receive "the leaders of peaceful protests, representatives of youth organizations, trade unions, labor movements, popular organizations." "We need their contribution (...) their energy and creativity, their bet on the future and their ability to challenge the mistakes of the past and present," she said.

    Rousseff said that Brazil needed to "oxygenate" the "political system" to make it "more open to the influence of society" and find "better ways to fight corruption."

    Promising that Brazil would achieve a "great World Cup soccer," she responded to criticism of the protesters on the huge expenses for the organization of the World next year. "I want to clarify that the money spent for stadiums by the Government will duly paid by companies and state governments that will operate" in the future, she said. "I will never allow the federal funds (...) neglected priority sectors such as health and education," she said.

    While Rousseff spoke, new events, much lower than on Thursday, were identified in thirty cities. But in Rio, Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre, groups of protesters blocked major urban roads in rush hour, causing traffic jams. In Rio, a car dealership was vandalized in the western area. Demonstrators massed outside the home of the Governor of the State of Rio, in the upscale neighborhood of Leblon. A Valparaiso de Goias (center), at least ten buses were burned and clashes broke out with police.

    Chief of Staff of the Presidency, Gilberto Carvalho, said that the authorities were preparing for the possibility of further protests during the World Catholic Youth Day (WYD) and the visit of Pope Francis, late July in Rio de Janeiro.

    The protests have tarnished the Confederations Cup soccer - considered the dress rehearsal in miniature of the World - which takes place in the country until June 30. "The Confederations Cup takes place in Brazil and the FIFA World Cup to be held in Brazil", reiterated Friday in Rio General Secretary of FIFA, Jerome Valcke, while Brazilian media relayed rumors about a possible cancellation . "There is no plan B," said Valcke to Brazilian journalists, noting that FIFA had nothing to do with the social problems of the country and was therefore a "wrong target."

    The Pass Book Movement (MPL for free public transport) in Sao Paulo, one of the spearheads of social unrest, announced it would call to demonstrate in the metropolis, after declining public transport fares. "The ultimate goal has been reached," said a leader, Lucas Monteiro on television. But other groups continued to launch calls for demonstrations on social networks.

    technology in Brazil


    Traditional exporter of raw materials and center of foreign investment in the productive sector, Brazil is now seeking to attract capital for cutting-edge research in areas such as oil and information technology.

    "The biggest challenge for Brazil is innovation. We are very competitive in agriculture, aviation, oil and gas. But our industry has a weak culture of innovation ", said recently the Minister of Science and Technology, Antonio Mercadante.

    "We encourage the industry to innovate (...) and we bring research centers (foreign) who will apply for patents in Brazil," he added.

    A research centers is Cenpes installed by the Brazilian oil giant Petrobras in the northern suburbs of Rio. Another is the Digital Port in Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco (Northeast), a technology park that houses nearly 180 institutions and companies specializing in information technology.

    The Cenpes, established in 1970 and located on the campus of the Federal University (UFRJ), has invested $ 700 million (€ 484 million) since 2005 to attract international companies working in the Brazilian oil industry such as French or American GE Schlumberger, Halliburton and Baker Hughes.

    "The most important suppliers of Petrobras, in Brazil saw a good business opportunity and recognizing the quality of Brazilian universities, come to establish an intellectual partnership with us to complement our commercial relationship," said the press responsible Research and development of Petrobras, Carlos Tadeu Fraga.

    Among the projects to be developed, he cited research in biotechnology, biofuels and environment.

    Petrobras has invested 2.6 billion dollars (1.8 billion euros) for research and development from 2008 to 2010 and provides huge investment to exploit oil found in very deep waters in the Atlantic Ocean, in a thick layer of salt.

    His current proven reserves of 14 billion barrels of crude could more than triple the oil buried at sea and make Brazil one of the largest exporters of crude oil.

    With a consumer market booming, Brazil offers good opportunities for foreign high-tech companies.

    "Brazil is a good option for investment in Latin America in the field of technology. Here there are good professionals who can ensure that companies who invest have a greater guarantee of market penetration, "said the AFP Luis Anavitarte, an expert on emerging markets Gartner consultant.

    The port of Recife Digital was founded ten years ago in order to give a boost to the sector of information technology and create jobs in the state of Pernambuco (northeast), one of Brazil's poorest .

    Among the companies are installed including multinational Accenture, IBM and Motorola.

    A "hole" in the gigantic sun observed by NASA





    The sun is not a great shape. A huge coronal hole was observed between 28 and 31 May at the surface by the Solar Dynamics Observator a solar observatory developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Despite its size, the Agency argues that this phenomenon has little risk to Earth. Communications could still be disrupted for two months.

    A "cold" area was detected on the surface of the sun, in its most distant atmospheric crown: it's a "coronal hole." This is the strongest in more than a year, according to NASA. Coronal holes are causing quite violent solar winds. These plasma flow formed ions and electrons through the solar system and the planets that affect residents, including the Earth, and can cause electromagnetic storms.

    According to NASA, the coronal hole should not cause mere auroras and possibly disrupt telecommunications, such as GPS or the operation of mobile phones in the next two months. In 1989, the solar wind had caused strong electromagnetic storms in Quebec: power cuts were numerous and the satellites were even disturbed.

    Chinese supercomputer;World N:1


    Chinese supercomputer Tianhe-2 rose to first place in the Top 500 world ranking, leaving far behind in fourth place, the Japanese champion "K", demotion motivates a hundredfold the Japanese to go head .Tianhe-2, of the Chinese University of Defense Technology, achieved computational performance of 33.86 petaflop / s (33.86 million billion operations per second), while the Japanese "K" (to pronounce Kei) peaked at 10.51 petaflop / s, ranked Top 500 Monday during a conference on supercomputing in Leipzig (Germany).Moreover, Tianhe-2 has reached this level two years before the target, said the agency responsible for setting the record.Behind Tianhe-2 arrived two Americans, Titan, who was first in the previous ranking, and Sequoia, which had taken the highest rank six months earlier (June 2012), while relegating "K" to second place."K" had been previously during the first year: he had taken the lead in June 2011 and was kept in the charts prepared in the following November."K" was then marked the spirits and strengthened the Japanese ego. It was indeed the first time since June 2004 that a Japanese supercomputer was the first. He had beaten flat-seams a Chinese rival (Tianhe-1A, 2.56 petaflops) and an American (Jaguar).This time it is the opposite and, hence, it tickles the Japanese, as shown in a reflection of a manager of the Japanese Ministry of Science, "it is only a performance speed", meaning there that, unlike the Chinese, Japanese, themselves, are concerned not only computing power but also of the electricity consumed, knowing that a supercomputer is a huge and very "energy" machine.The Japanese press also like to emphasize that Tianhe-2 is designed to calculate the trajectories of missiles and other military uses, while Japanese models are designed for simulations of natural disasters or development of new drugs.Still emulation that comes from regaining first place by the Chinese will push the Japanese into overdrive on future generations of supercomputers, with powers even multiplied.The TOP500 ranking, established in 1993, is updated twice a year, in June and November.

    impact of alarm applications imitating the song of the bird threatened its preservation.

     
    A British association for the defense of the fauna and flora of the impact of alarm applications imitating the song of the bird threatened its preservation.

     
    the ubiquity of smartphones disorients a singular volatile, the Europe (Caprimulgus europaeus) nightjar. An application imitating the sound of purring Nightjar disorder indeed quiet rocky areas of the county of Dorset and angers the regional fund for the preservation of fauna and flora, the Dorset Wildlife Trust has recently launched a campaign for direct application users as "Chirp" to stop the use in nature reserves, including those on Brownsea Island, in the South West of England. The site managers have indeed found that many visitors and photography enthusiasts using this application to call this bird plumage mimetic difficult to observe and ground-nesting, leaving clearings and other heath where he likes to hide.However, thus disrupting the flying frog (its other name), visitors can divert essential activities, such as reproduction, or beaked small. Some even move their nest, feeling threatened. "To do so is selfish and disrespectful of the species," warns the BBC Tony Whitehead, the local head of the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals. "One should never use tricks to coax a species, especially during the mating season," he says. And more regarding this endangered species, particularly sensitive to noise and interference that is protected by the "Wildlife and Countryside Act" of 1981, which makes the act of knowingly disturb any nesting bird offense.
    Chris Thain, head of the natural reserve of Brownsea, so called in the Guardian to "use this type of popular applications in a responsible manner." "Visitors would likely be devastated if they became aware of the disturbance they impose on wildlife. We must now get the message: the use of these applications is not adapted to the natural reserves and may be dangerous for threatened, "he insists species.
    Hilary Wilson of iSpiny, Chirp developer application, has also joined the calls for caution in statements to the BBC, while emphasizing the educational aim of the application. "Birdsong is a very pleasant to the human ear sound, but it is also a powerful means of communication for the birds ... The key challenge is to maintain a reasonable volume "
