Sophos points to the weakness of the iPhone voice-driven "wizard" that could allow people to access personal data such as phone numbers and addresses. Meanwhile developers to write an Android clone - or near-clone

Siri, the wizard voice-based new Apple iPhone 4S, poses a security risk, according to Sophos, which indicates that the default configuration may allow the user to send emails and messages, even when the screen is locked with a password.

Graham Cluley, security consultant at Sophos, said he was able to do both, and could have interfered with the appointment calendar colleague, even when the phone is apparently remained locked.

Cluley points there is an environment that can prevent Siri is available unless the screen is unlocked with the code. However, the default settings on the phone he does - and taking into account the ability of Siri to be used with any voice, and provide personal address book, it would be possible for someone one who had stolen a phone Siri possible to extract valuable information, even without being able to go beyond the lock screen.

Google has recently announced the release of Android, "Ice Cream Sandwich" (4.0), includes a new "face recognition" feature to lock and unlock it using front camera phone that can be used to authenticate a user. However, no announcement to date of any functionality beyond Siri-like Google Voice Search on Android phones built.

Andy Rubin was largely dismissive of the consequences of Siri. Speaking at the Hong Kong AllThingsD said: "The telephone is a communication tool you should not communicate with the phone, you should contact someone on the phone .." He suggested that n was not sure what would penetration Siri. He added: "This is not a new idea ... When planning the future, I think Apple has done a good job of research that the technology was ready for the quality of consumption. "


However, some third-party developers for Android clear that Syria is a feature worth incorporating. A team of Dexetra.com wrote "Iris" - Siri spelled backwards - which uses Google's text of speech system to provide functionality similar to Siri Android phone by consulting Wikipedia or other reference sites for subjects such as art, literature, history and biology. According to TechCrunch, Iris - encoded in a burst of eight hours - is due to appear shortly in the Android Market, but an alpha version is now available. Iris research requires both Google Voice and text to speech library must be installed, although almost all the Android phones are pre-installed. The initial responses are encouraging, although some say that "it is time to respond," the principles and classifications vary widely, ranging from five stars to one star, running 3-2 in four stars and above v two stars or less. /

Finnish telecommunications company launches the first computers running Microsoft Windows Phone System, 800 and 710 Lumia

Nokia takes the battle for Android smartphones with the launch of a new terminal in collaboration with Microsoft is a last attempt to shape the new frontier of computing.

with Google's Android and Apple already dominates the smartphone market, the world's largest manufacturer of mobile puts his hopes of a change in activity on the success of the two models unveiled by chief executive Stephen Elop at the annual Nokia World in London.

The first Nokia phone to work with the interface of Microsoft Windows Phone, the Lumia 800, priced at ? 420 (£ 365), and 710 to 270 ? Lumia, went directly to the media market which is dominated by the Android operating system.

phones were produced in a frantic period of eight months after Elop has decided to abandon the "burning platform" of the operating system specific to Nokia for Windows Phone.

Lumia phones running on the latest version, 7.5 Mango, which had a limited distribution so far in mobile HTC, LG and Samsung. Compete with the free Google Android, Microsoft has struggled to get Windows Phone in a wide range of terminals, with only the market share of 2% by mid 2011, according to analyst IDC.

Microsoft should

Lumia, which describes Elop provocatively that "the first true Windows phone made by any person", submit your software to a wider audience. With the decline in PC sales for mobile devices connected the influence of Microsoft in the consumer technology will fade unless it can make its presence felt in smart phones and tablets.


proclaiming a "new dawn" of Nokia, Mr. Elop said: "Eight months ago, we shared our new strategy and we are now showing a clear progression of this strategy in action" He added: "We take advantage of the innovation throughout our portfolio. "

Elop is keeping an eye firmly on developing markets, the introduction of four "Asha" terminal on behalf of the Hindu word for hope, led to the "next billion" the users in the areas of the world where most people's first experience of the Internet will be through a mobile phone.
Having decided not to adopt the Android operating system, Nokia has seemed frozen in the headlights of your progress. Since early 2010, the capitalization of the Finnish market has halved from 52 billion $ 25 billion, and in the same period its share of the smartphone market fell 39% to 16%. Revenue was down, and operating profits of over ? 1 billion for cell division were as low as ? 132 million in September.

new technologies, far from children gaining access to books, promises to add a new dimension to reading

Why not turn off the TV and read a book for a change "Such was the battle cry of the traditional tea-time mother of the middle class 1970's antiphonal His answer:". Oh .. muuum. "I belong to a generation that has been conditioned to watch TV, and the latest computer games, as the enemies of reading to children: their rivals for the time and attention could be devoted to a book

Now that computers are a means by which the books are gone, this distinction has broken down. Now we must put aside our prejudices and superstitions that parents have on the books magic items imbued with learning.

Because the middle of the ongoing conversation about digital literacy and the future of the book - because it is characterized by emotional exaggeration on both sides - an area little discussed outside of the industry: the digital revolution mean for children's books

is a heavy topic. Children's reading is an important foundation for learning, an issue that parents feel anxious almost obsessive. So we should be concerned that the generation growing up as digital natives Tots, which have not yet linked to the forgetful cat Mog, never learn to love books?

Well, yes and no. Children's books are both more resistant to scanning and more mature in its many advantages. This may seem contradictory, but it is not. First, the materiality of the book of average size is much greater for an infant or an adult child. Adults do not care much if they get their 80,000 words of prose continues on a screen or a printed page. But what the iPad can play a pop-up book or a book with pages wrinkled, or nose of a cow gum and soft suede platform to the ears of a puppy or an entire finger puppet Mean path? How many digital players have so far the kind of space that allows screen text and illustration as Emily Gravett breathe together, Maurice Sendak or Judith Kerr planned? On the other hand, new technology can offer to children the role emotions can not: a book with moving pictures or images that speak to you when you press it, or - for older children learning to read - a book that allows you to play a hard word and hear it read aloud.

Julia Donaldson

may have resisted an e-book The Gruffalo so far, for example, but you can get a kind of steam-punk equivalent in the form of a question with a layer electronic buttons that make owl noises or mouse in your case, when pressed.

There are many reasons not to Luddism, but optimistic. You can always read the tiger who came to tea on paper, but as a new generation of writers of children to start writing for technology, a whole world opens ofopportunity.

The fear expressed by some - Donaldson, among others - was that the junk and interactive visual tricks to entertain the children of the written word. I think the general fear, unfounded. Children have always found their way into the books through the images - such as Arthur Rackham illustrations for such classics as Peter Pan, The Wind in the Willows and Alice attest

Fear
more likely reflects the strong sentimental attachment to our own childhood reading - and our concerns about our children just as powerful. The instinct is to think that the way he knew to be the best and only.

Researchers continue

entire population of Denmark for over 30 years and found the incidence of brain cancer among users of mobile phones is no more

There is no connection between long-term use of mobile phones and brain cancer, research suggests.

As has been described as the largest study on the subject, the researchers found that cancer rates in the central nervous system were almost the same in both long-term mobile phone users and people do not use telephones, the study published in bmj.com found.

There are more than 5 billion mobile phone subscribers in the world and people have expressed concern that electromagnetic fields emitted by holding a phone to your ear, may cause harmful health.


The researchers said there was no increased risk for the center of all nervous system tumors and all cancers combined among mobile phone users.

The authors said: "The extended follow-up allowed us to study the effects on people who used cell phones for 10 years or older, and that long-term use was not associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Steve Jobs was furious at what he saw as simply copying ideas from Apple on Android phones from HTC, says the biography

Steve Jobs has promised to "destroy Android" in his anger at what he considered a simple copy Apple's ideas on the Android phones released in early 2010, according to a new biography was published after his death this month.

Walter Isaacson, the official biographer of Jobs, Jobs said he was livid, in January 2010 when the Taiwanese HTC introduced Android phone with many of the most popular iPhone. He launched into a tirade of insults charge in which he said that Google's actions amounted to "theft."

At that time, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, then again and its president, left the board of directors of Apple, where he worked between 2006 and 2009 - is crucial, which covers the period when the iPhone first came out and that allowed Google to negotiate an agreement to provide search, maps and video services on mobile YouTube.

"I will spend my last breath if I need it, and I spend every cent of Apple's $ 40 billion in the bank, to repair this injustice," said Isaacson Jobs. "I will destroy Android, because it is a stolen product. I am ready to go to nuclear war in this area."

At a later meeting with Schmidt in a cafe in Palo Alto, California, Jobs said Schmidt was not interested in settling this dispute, the book says. "I do not want your money. If I offer $ 5 billion, I do not want. I have a lot of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, it's all I want to. " The meeting, Isaacson wrote, nothing resolved.

The decision is based on a key patent filed by Apple in 1996, which is valid until 2016. Known as "647" turns phone numbers or addresses into links.

After Google launched its Android operating system in late 2008, and phones first appeared in 2009, the rivalry between the two companies have become more intense - especially after Google started Android to adapt to many of the ideas introduced by the iPhone, such as controlling the touch screen to control a wide range of icons and the "pinch to reduce the size" of the system to resize images.

Isaacson biography work officially released Monday.

We talked several times about s.978, a bill by Senator Amy Klobuchar, trying to do video streaming potential crimes. The bill is poorly written (like many). Basically, just add "public performance" as a crime under the law possible. It sounds simple, but it is too large, at a time when all sorts of things can be a public performance. New s.978 defenders insist that is not so bad because the law does not apply to intentional "commercial" offenders - but as we have seen repeatedly, the federal government seem to interpret that in extremely broad terms .

Thus, the bill could actually be used against people via the streaming video from YouTube to their advantage. People like ... Justin Bieber. In fact, an advocacy group has launched a new campaign against S.978 asking people to help free Justin Bieber.

As indicated, Bieber became famous by posting videos of him singing popular songs on YouTube as a child.





As noted in the campaign, this video was a big part of the Career successful Bieber - so you can easily say that it was clearly a trade violation. He was "intentional" and the clear intention of violating the song of Chris Brown. It is clear that it was for "personal gain". As stated in the law, you do not make money directly from the video to make it a criminal offense. The law "requires that the defendant actually did a commercial advantage or private financial gain. It is only necessary that the activity is in order to" gain or profit. "Check. You also have to involve more than 10" actions " within 180 days. This video has over 35 million hits. Check. And that causes more than $ 2,500 in losses to the holder of rights? Consider what the RIAA defines losses, hell yeah. Think of all that unlicensed use. If the license tag of 35 million song plays, I'm sure it would have cost well over $ 2500.

Thurs , set and match. Klobuchar under continuous measurement crime, Justin Bieber likely committed a crime.
> Now, I realize that many people do not like Bieber or his music, but he deserve jail? Now, of course, s.978 say they have no intention of going after the likes of Justin Bieber. But the fact that might
suggests a bill massively problematic. And, in fact, the problem is not the world Bieber, but the children next to download a video of themselves reading a song. It's about massive bill, and I hope you visit the Free Bieber to help the Congress know that this bill is bad news

Walter Isaacson describes how to use first tried for the treatment of pancreatic cancer with alternative therapies, including healing

Steve Jobs

regretted his decision to delay the onset of potentially life-saving surgery for pancreatic cancer, his biographer has revealed.

After being diagnosed with cancer in 2004, Jobs has launched a series of alternative therapies, including spiritual healing, said Walter Isaacson, the author of the forthcoming biography of Steve Jobs.

despite calls from his family to have an operation, Jobs refused, Isaacson said in an interview on CBS News 60 Minutes to air Sunday.

The Apple co-founder, who died this month after a long battle with the disease, said that there was a very slow rate of growth of pancreatic cancer, and that his only was the 5% "can actually be cured."

Jobs

Isaacson said, after his diagnosis, "trying to deal with the regime, go to spiritualists, through several ways to macrobiotically -. And it does not receive an operation"

His wife, Laurene Jobs and others around convinced him to "stop trying to deal with all these roots and vegetables, and things" and surgery nine months later. " / Aa>

But when she finally got the operation may have been too late, Isaacson said, as the cancer had spread to tissues surrounding the pancreas.

After surgery, Jobs told his employers, but downplayed the seriousness of his condition.
A piece on the CBS News Web site said the interview includes "some of the best stories of the biography, including the fact that Steve Jobs had made known the man who turned out be her biological father before he knew. "

figures show that only 106 electric cars were purchased in 2011 by the third quarter of 'plugged into the car subsidy "Plan

Wishes

government grants £ 5000 that 2011 would "be remembered as the year of off the electric car" disappeared with the release of new figures showing the uptake of greener cars spat.

only 106 electric cars were purchased in the third quarter of 2011 by the "plugged into the car dealership" plan, launched in January. This marks a significant drop in demand in the already-slow adoption with 465 cars registered for the program in Q1 and Q2 to 215.

electric car activists and the industry had hoped it would be the year the year of the car - considered a clean alternative low-carbon than conventional gasoline and diesel models - a made a breakthrough. Former Transportation Secretary Philip Hammond said in January: "Government action to support affordable vehicles and more local charging points means we are on the threshold of exciting green revolution - 2011 could be remembered as the year of the car was electric. "

The shortage of models of electric cars could be to blame for the slow, with drivers currently only has a choice of five models eligible for the grant, including the critical success of the Road Nissan. Prices in advance are also relatively high - cost £ 25.990 sheets, even with the price of £ 5000 -. Although fuel costs are much lower


Other large-scale models, including the Opel Ampera extended range, family size and the Renault Fluence ZE plug-in version of the popular Toyota Prius, should not be sold until next year.

NEPP we learned from a trio of researchers who were commissioned to study objectively BitTorrent game piracy and to determine some quantifiable data on piracy of the game. (PDF, integrated below) Investigators, Anders Drachen, WD Bauer and Kevin Robert Veitch, was a huge lack of objectivity in the investigation on both sides of the debate on piracy. They saw a lot of negativity in the side of the industry and the positivity of the other side.

Forskning.no According to this lack of objectivity has led to the gaming industry to inflate the numbers of piracy (from the Google translation)

These include an influential 2009 report, presented by the American Association of Commerce for game manufacturers, ESA. This, according Drachen indicate that piracy is two to three times more - depending on how the release of the press interpreted the ESA.
  • The Danish researchers estimate is 290 million sets per year. Compared with the figures shows the ESA 600 000 000 pirated copies of games a year, and because of the uncertainty in the measurement method, which is very secret, the U.S. figures to be considerably higher, depending Drachen.



information To counter this subjectivity, the researchers selected a sample of all commercial games from November 2010 to January 2011 and observed the activity of these games on BitTorrent and combined with other information such as game scores and review of the sexes. In total, made a list of 173 games of interest, of which 127 are in BitTorrent. With these data, the following conclusions:



most games that have had a follow-up of less than 50,000 unique pairs observed in BitTorrent. At the same time, the 10 most popular games was a unique combination of 5.37 million peers. Games "Action" cut the lion's share of the activity of BitTorrent, including 45.61% of all peer review unique. "The role plays, of which only 10 were observed, representing 15.58% of unique pairs. However, when they met in singles matches were games of" Action "less popular than the 'Racing "Role" and games of "simulation" which includes a 0.95%, 1.6%, 1.43% and 1.08% respectively.
aggregate scores were positively correlated with the number of unique pairs. That, plus the Metacritic score, most unique pairs found in BitTorrent. In total, there were approximately 12.6 million unique access to 127 peer games on BitTorrent.

Microsoft Windows Mobile When completed, leaving potential developers with experience in the tools I wanted to build business applications on-line "with a problem that could target

You may have noticed that Windows Mobile is a dead platform. Microsoft does not talk about it, and if I had to go to your IT department and ask the source of a Windows Mobile phone for you so you can access your webmail and other things outside the office would probably look a little weird, and then we can say that gradually, with careful emphasis, "Do you mean Windows

Phone

No, no. Do you mean Windows Mobile. What do you mean, no one sells? A. Motorola OK, that's all. The few other million units of Windows Mobile devices there are the living dead - in fact, is the land of the zombies

And now here's the funny thing: Microsoft, the company that knows best how to support developers and platforms and applications, has created the perfect conditions in which anyone who has ever thought to develop Windows Mobile now something will be encouraged to do so in Android.

How could this happen? Well, let's step back.

'll get my coat ...

The problem of being in the computer industry is changing so fast that what looks like a very strong business proposition than a year can not be that next year. A good example is when the market moves under you and the world does not need your product (RIM, I'm looking at you). But there are some things that are reliable, and one of the things you can count on if you are a Microsoft shop is that Microsoft will take care of you.

is well known that the power of Microsoft in the market due to the availability of applications. The platform has applications, the easier it is for the user chooses a competitor. (For a modern equivalent of this, consider the devices that compete with the iPhone - try to find applications for a specific business task for Android-based tablet and see how far to go.) For applications that have need to be pleasing to the developers and Microsoft knows how to be nice to the developers in a way that no other sole none. (For example, here are details on the various programs for non-Microsoft developers.)

The vision of the world's current mobile is that everything is wonderful and the size and location of all the cool kids hang out. This ignores the fact that since 2003 has been possible to build a line of very good business (LOB) to what it used to be called Windows Mobile.

How do you build a solution for Windows Mobile

development of Windows Mobile was supported by the. NET Compact Framework in 2002. For starters, Windows Mobile is a smaller version of Windows CE, allowing more extra bits to work as a smartphone. You can put the Windows CE kernel, in theory, anything, and is one of the strands of Windows Embedded.

So the general idea is that if you want to build a mobile solution that is based on Windows CE and get your own equipment from somewhere, or you is based on Windows Mobile and ask the client to purchase their own equipment, ie a smartphone. Remember, this is for LOB work, which is the production of client-specific software that can not (yet?) Find in iOS App Store and Android Market.

If you go through the original order in the material, if you make plans and do a factory, usually in China, we are building for you. If you want to spend one tenth of the cost, you ask the same plant to give off a lot of shelves that were designed. You can then install their own software and ship it. However, the road is not what you say cheap. Although the units are generally very cheap (I think a quarter of the cost of an iPad for a device with a display of five inches), minimum order quantities, with the impossibility of making an inventory, just time, pose a serious cash.

To the problem of rolling out of the equation, many people build mobile solutions become the creation of solutions and Windows Mobile clients requesting to offer the same hardware, which generally means that the client will Vodafone, O2, and anyone buying a bunch of Windows Mobile phones. You can then deploy the application and get it. Although no one has ever

those

these phones worked well enough to market a line of decent size enterprise applications grow around Windows Mobile.

Brand new and improved

- was a success in a way that only Windows Mobile can only dream of. (Also, the Android developers have been able to make enough of a follower who could leave their BlackBerry-style start and turn it into an iPhone clone, as shown in this post on the forum.)

Microsoft decided a couple of years that Windows Mobile is basically too old to be restructured into something that would behave like an iPhone. (I'm not sure it was completely true. The HTC Sense provides the user interface layer on their Android phones fell on Windows Mobile and it worked fine) The decision was taken to the dustbin of Windows CE. In a coup that ended the market for shipments of LOB applications Windows Mobile.

I'm not sure this would have happened on the watch of Bill Gates. Be a programmer at heart, he understood the relationship with developers better than Steve Ballmer, who is a type of sale, no, I suspect the decision to cancel Windows Mobile have been banned from the top to have had power. (It's one thing the whole article D from 2008 in which Bill admits that he can veto the decisions of Steve.)
addition, it shows very poor thinking in Redmond. Windows Embedded, which tracks Windows CE and renamed "Windows Compact." The current version - Windows Embedded Compact 7 - has a life support 10 years. This means you can go to their factory in China and ask them build customized Windows CE devices until 2021. It's great if you have an almost unlimited budget - but most SMEs to build Windows Mobile applications do not. Only the best players can play this game . Microsoft just does not understand the impact of the cancellation would have on the Windows Mobile developers.
