Farewell Google Reader - The País.com (Spain)

O grows or dies. In Google there is no mercy. Stagnant services are considered obsolete. To have an expiration date. Reader’s sentence was marked for Monday July 1. From some have served over 150,000 signed on Change.org against the cessation of service. The promoter of the idea, the New Yorker Dan Lewis, it focuses as a service issue: “With this decision hurt our confidence in other services like YouTube or Google group. Driverless cars and futuristic glasses are fine, but this was very useful to us. “

Reader

liked its simplicity. The interface was very similar to Gmail. Each subscription had the equivalent inbox. You could create folders by topic: politics, sports, humor. It was the closest thing to having a daily a la carte. It was enough to take the web address of the blog and put it as a new subscription. From that moment it was not necessary to go to the original blog to check for updates. He came Alert.

As has been approaching the date, interest has been growing alternatives. Blogs, though no longer the rage, are an interesting way of information and entertainment. Google has created a platform to export all subscriptions and you can continue reading the contents in other services.

The tablets also popularized these services, making them more visual. Flipboard is the most innovative, it turns any website into a neat magazine layout. I have followed Currents, Google’s own; Press, owned by professional network LinkedIn, or Netvibes. In part used to read blogs, partly to consult social networks, but they all lack the simplicity of Reader. longs who has good alternatives:

Digg . is a community of Spanish content similar to Digg. Last week debuted its service. The promise is interesting: same keyboard shortcuts, import of readings and ability to share on Facebook, Twitter, Google+. He insists that there will soon be mobile and tablet version of Apple and Android. Interesting that include an internal search.

Feedly . Free, clear and simple. Works with Firefox, Chrome and Safari, with iPad, iPhone, Kindle and Android devices. He pointed somewhat to create the program Normandie, a simple import from Google Reader. Entering offer follow media as Huffington Post, The Wall Street Journal or TechCrunch.

The Old Reader . Da feeling of archaic, but it is extremely simple and fast. Update and notification. Allows importing of Google Reader, but it only works in PC browsers.

NewsBlur . offers free or paid version. The second costs 20 euros per year. The difference lies in receiving notification when we update content, very handy if someone makes liveblogging an event (live updating of articles), and query the original blog from the app without switching windows. It works on both Apple as Android and browsers.

Newsvibe . Minimalist. Designed to go from time to time, without waiting for large despligues. It only works in the browser. Like the above, import the files of Google Reader.

Curata . For those who do not have time, but want to keep up. It’s like a shaker. Subscriptions are given, sets the priorities and within minutes is a selection with the essentials. It’s free and works w ith both your computer and iPhone and iPad.

Feed Wrangler. It costs 15 euros a year and promises to improve the reading experience. Maintains maquera aesthetics with art icons, background and white much faster loading. Only suitable for design freaks.

What is the best? It depends on taste. It is best to try until it is given to the interface that makes us feel more comfortable. Some might opt ??for something minimalist and those who prefer something more complex. It also depends on personal or professional use. Currently, the most popular is is Feedly.

Apple has found a manufacturer alternative for chips who carry their iPad and iPhone, which no longer depend on its rival Samsung Electronics Co. According to reports from the Wall Street Journal , the company had signed an agreement with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) to manufacture these microchips from 2014.

Samsung will be the main supplier until next year , but the U.S. company has already stopped buying iPhone 5 screens to Samsung and has reduced iPad.

a decade ago both companies were ideal partners, but that ended when idyllic began selling Samsung smartphones and compete with Apple. The claims and counterclaims have occurred in recent years, and since Apple claim that this dependence harms their products.

TSMC plans to start mass production of chips early next year. This advanced technology used “20 nm” , to get chips smaller and more energy efficient. Both companies have two years trying to get to a collaboration, but Apple asked about quality and performance requirements for which TSMC has struggled.

throwing objects at high speed and accuracy emerged about two million years to facilitate our ancestors hunting and was a crucial step in the evolutionary process of man , according to research just released Nature . In fact, humans are unique in their ability to release when compared with other primates. “While chimpanzees are incredibly strong and athletic, adult males of this species can only make pitches to 32 miles per hour, equivalent to a third of the speed printing at a ball a boy of 12 years playing baseball” , explains Neil Roach, a researcher at George Washington University (USA) and co-author.

Using a video camera in three dimensions, Roach and his colleagues filmed several movies baseball players in action and found that the human shoulder functions as a kind of slingshot, which stores and releases large amounts of energy . “At the moment when humans make a pitch, rotate the arm back, stretching tendons and ligaments that cross the shoulder and storing elastic energy,” explains the researcher. When, then, we release this energy, “the arm accelerates forward, generating faster movement that is capable of producing the human body,” he adds. This is possible thanks to a number of anatomical changes (reduction and enlargement of the shoulders, expanding waistline and torsion of the humerus) that allowed early humans to hunt more efficiently, ie, throwing projectiles , which helped our ancestors to include meat in their diet and paved the way for a series of subsequent adaptations, such as increased brain size and migration in Africa.

“If we were not good at throwing and running and a few other things, our brains would not have evolved into larger sizes or would have developed cognitive skills such as language.’s say, if it were not for our ability to launch would not be who we are today, “says Daniel Lieberman, a researcher at Harvard University and co-author of the study.

Google will watch, console and music player - The País.com (Spain)

Google will not stay

offside anything. It’s not enough to dominate search, advertising, operating systems in smartphones and soon on tablets, nor is enough that most Internet users use their maps, your mail, your browser .. .. Loved it: their own devices.

As reported in The Wall Street Journal, Google will launch this fall various accessories such as a video game console, smart clock and a music player streaming , all obviously with its own software , the Android operating system.

try to follow the path, but for a different way of Apple, which has always sold together software and hardware and Microsoft that, after dominating all computers with Windows system launched their own devices in other sectors where it provoked the anger of his faithful partners (HP, Dell or Intel) as was the case with Xbox games.

The road is not easy, as you know the very Microsoft, which failed with the Zune music player, with which she cope with the boom of the Apple iPod, the only company that has achieved success in the two sectors, but if, when sold together, it is all or nothing.

Both Microsoft and Google

also sell its software to third parties, who are responsible then to apply it to their machines.

Google

idea of ??throwing more appliances is not new, but so far has not had great results. Its first product, the Chromebook laptop, it only works if you have full Internet access, occupies a residual in the market, something similar happens with smartphone Nexus, although in this case it has been bnuenas criticism. Only in the case of the tablet the good reviews have coincided with an acceptable response from the public, but in no case to compete face to face with the iPad or Samsung Tab.

over a year ago, disseminates Glass prototype glasses, but will not be an accessory of great consumption, smart watch, yes.

According The Wall Street Journal Google is working on a new version of Q, a music player streaming for the home that was presented in June last year and never went on sale. With Apple’s recent announcement of its iTunes music seems to have wanted to recover that machine, as nice as ineffective .. Now it seems that it is improving.

For the smart watch, and there are several on the market: The new output, such as Samsung and Apple, is announced for the end of the year before. It is definitely an accessory that consumers are used to dress and she has never given up despite their basic service assumes the smartphones. Each year will continue to sell many millions of watches, and a model synced smartphone and therefore Internet is a logical and natural step.

More complicated is the entry into the video game industry. Although there is already a console with Android operating system (the Ouya), a console is nothing without a good catalog of games, which is what the industry get benefits. At Microsoft, boldness to enter into a totally Japanese industry, it went well with his Xbox, which today is mainstream in America and have a strong presence in Europe. In addition, Microsoft, with its Xbox, got what he had failed via their computer or browser, Internet being a leader in something, even if it was in the game.

Unlike Apple, Google uses third parties (LG, HTC or Samsung) to get their products manufactured respecting its brand. Now the question is who will manufacture the console and watch. In its favor is Android, the operating system adaptable to any accessory and also adapt it free for manufacturers. With that Apple can not compete.

VICKY BOLAÑOS VICKY BOLAÑOS – Barcelona

only we could see a teaser of this game that is presented as a “medieval fantasy”. The title developing Tiny Thief , created by the company based in Barcelona 5ants be met just over a year through a video posted on the internet. Attracted the attention of Rovio, the company of the authors of Angry Birds and is now one of the next product to be launched under the label Rovio Stars , a division of publishing third-party mobile games in mid-July.

This is a game in which the main character a thief in the Middle Ages have to go getting treasures while avoiding being caught by all means, among other objectives. Is a title for PC, iOS and Android with 80 fun characters and up to six stories with their corresponding challenges. 3500 has animations, 700 sounds and 30 levels of difficulty with multiple locations.

“Rovio wrote us, went to Helsinki and in two months we signed a contract with them. We first decision of working with a great editor told GameLab 2013 5ants cofounder Luis Oses, who pointed out that their study had developed since 2006 centered virtual worlds printing until in 2011, with the world of smartphone fully established, decided to create mobile titles.

Rovio class=”ladillo”>

His partner, Max Bevilacqua has confessed that when they took the first video Tiny Thief was in its infancy: “We showed the game at seven months of development and was not polished”. However, they were told how to present it to Rovio, “fearless” and realized that the title could become “something big”. So with the contract already signed, started receive suggestions from the creators of Angry Birds .

“We realized that the most important thing was that it was fun “said Bevilacqua, who has indicated that the game, as was raised at first” was something complex. ” They changed the controls, made more intuitive for users of any age and mastery of technology, among others. If at first thought it would work only on iPad, Rovio’s suggestion decided to take it to multiple platforms and devices .

“We saw that on smaller devic es not seen the whole landscape , but we put cameras to move around the stage and changed a lot, because you’re a thief and you have to hide, but we find solutions, “he underlined Bevilacqua.

Also, incorporated the possibility of playing more times . Thus, the challenge of finding introduced three stars for which we must pass several tests before, like finding a treasure map, a pet that is hidden or lost items you need to find a “treasure chest”. Moreover, if before the game is over when the thief was ‘caught’ with the new script the thief goes to jail and may try to get a ‘reduced sentence for good behavior’ or attempt to escape the guard control fun ways.

The importance of user test

Another

stages by Tiny Thief happened after finishing the test development was users ie videogame players who tested more than 100 different devices. “Any detail can make a big difference,” said Bevilacqua, who has indicated that they received more than a thousand bugs (errors, elements to change) and although it seemed “impossible” to keep pace managed to improve the game and get it ready for publication.

As indicated by the head of Rovio Stars, Jussi Immonen, Tiny Thiefs will be released as a video game paid the price is to be determined.

The new challenge from the creators of Angry Birds

Immonen has also referred to the recent operations of Rovio with its division dedicated to third-party mobile video game partners. “Rovio is no longer a video game company, we are a digital entertainment company” has ruled the director of Rovio Stars, who stressed that also engaged in the animation (with Toons Angry Birds ) or theme parks. Furthermore, already have more than 650 employees , of which more than half work in game unit.

With its new brand have released a new title, Icebreaker, which ensures it is working well. 2014 plan to publish five new games under the label Rovio Stars to increase supply.

Jussi

??Immonen explained some of the secrets of marketing for the company, as do ad campaigns, but “cross promotion “. That is, include a screenshot of another game when you press the ‘pause’ in the title that is playing. “This strategy brings 85% of revenue,” he acknowledged.

Microsoft Windows returns the Home - The Mundo.es

Microsoft

jump to a new graphical interface for Windows 8 last fall meant abandoning many of the elements for more than a decade are associated with the operating system. One, and perhaps the one that most users miss is the Start button.

“We have received many comments from users asking us to reconsider and do a better balance of classic and new desktop interface meters,” said Steve Ballmer, president of the company, during the inaugural speech worldwide developer conference Microsoft held these days in San Francisco.

Back to basics

In response to this request, Windows recover the famous button in the 8.1 update planned for this fall but can be downloaded already in beta on the page of the company.

The Start button is not the only feature rescued earlier. The new Windows able to boot directly to the desktop classic , for example. It is an option that many companies had sued. There are also new. MetroUI interface, designed for touch screens, now offers more customization possibilities and has an integrated search across the system also complements the results with information obtained through Bing.

Microsoft will have new versions of its Office applications for the new interface , designed for touch screens, more integrated services like SkyDrive, its unit-cloud storage, and improve support multiscreen.

Ballmer spent part of the conference to discuss the new PC formats allowing the new version of the operating system, such as tablets and computers “hybrid” touchscreen and keyboard-and noted that there will soon be an explosion in small tablets -less than 10 inches, but able to run the full version of Windows and traditional desktop programs.

launch Microsoft has distributed more than 100 million licenses of Windows 8 but despite the new operating system is present in most formats of PC sales continue to decline. This week Gartner corrected their estimates for 2013, and expects the PC market to fall 10.3%

Discovered three habitable planets in the neighborhood of our Milky ... - Epoch

corresponds to a system with three stars, where the other two suns would be seen very bright as day and at night Full Moon

A team of astronomers found that to only 22 light years from Earth , the star Gliese 667C Constellation of Scorpio, has more than six planets, and three with possibilities to contain water are the new candidates for containing life, yesterday the European Southern Observatory (ESO).

the 3.6m telescope of ESO, located in the Atacama Desert of Chile, the researchers studied the known star Gliese 667C , which has a third of the Sun’s mass and is part of a three-star system Gliese 667 or GJ 667.

Guillem Anglada

Escudé Astronomers from the University of Göttingen in Germany and Mikko Tuomi, University of Hertfordshire in the UK, with a team researchers, found that the weakest of the three stars actually has more than six planets orbiting it, and in all three of them habitable. Previous studies have found three planets, one of which is in the habitable zone.

“We knew from previous studies that the star had three planets, and wanted to see if I could have any more,” Tuomi said. “Adding some new observations and reviewing previous data we were able to confirm these three, with the confidence to find some more. It was very exciting to find three low-mass planets in the habitable zone of the star “.

Gliese 667 star system “is quite close to us, in the solar neighborhood, much closer than other star systems studied with other telescopes, such as the Kepler Space Telescope (NASA), the planet hunter” ESO team stands.

If we are in one of the panetas the star Gliese 667C, astronomers report that the other two suns would be very bright as day and Full Moon at night.

Three super habitable planets are discovered lands, ie more massive than Earth but less massive than planets like Uranus or Neptune . They are in the area around the star in which water may be present in liquid form “if conditions allow.” To achieve these results, the team used data from HARP precision instrument (High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher) Scientist by Gaspare Lo Curto, plus previous files Observatory.

“This is the first time that three such planets orbiting this area are located at the same time,” says ESO.

Rory Barnes of the University of Washibgton before, from 10 stars are expected to find a potentially habitable planet, but now “we can find just one star and find several planets

“The number of potentially habitable planets in our galaxy is much larger than we might think when you consider that we can find several of them around each low-mass star,” said Barnes.

ESO astronomers analyze systems that Sun-like stars, which are very abundant in the Milky Way, planets orbiting around the same star are very hot and could hardly be habitable. “This does not happen with cooler stars and faint as Gliese 667C”.

“In this case the habitable zone is fully integrated in an orbit of Mercury’s size, much closer to the star than in the case of our Sun,” said study team.

Gliese 667C

system becomes the first example of a system in which a low-mass star hosts several potentially rocky planets in the habitable zone.

Ouya, the first console Android, on sale for 99 euros - The País.com (Spain)

Ouya is considered a triumph of community, an alternative to the giants of the video game world with the cloud as an ally, ie, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. The console was born the idea of ??a group of developers who decided to seek funding through Kickstarter a crowdfunding site. Within weeks achieved their goal: 8 million euros to build the device, although initially only asking 700,000.

The proposal was interesting: for less than 100 euros early investors became one of the first units in addition to recognition for their support. Two months ago started shipping and from today anyone can buy over the Internet, provided that the delivery address is in the U.S., UK and Canada. This restriction does not exist to fund the project, but it is precisely the most controversial, as many investors are waiting for your unit, just when goes on sale.

The first units, offered through Amazon, have been exhausted within a few hours. The same has happened with additional control knobs. Despite cost half the price of the console, is complete with the supply.

Since the industry has seen with skepticism. The big three in the sector consider that target a niche market that does not exist, a group of indies with the illusion of a tighter market prices and innovation.

class=”c8″ Ouya has several peculiarities. For example, the games are free. The initial catalog part with 170 titles. We only charge for add-ons and expansions, but within the original proposal is included the promise of hours of fun without having to pay. Another peculiarity is that the head of the company is a woman, id=”docs-internal-guid-419d2537-7c65-2d15-56df-72c02581220e” class=”c5″> , traditionally a very masculine world.

The device not noted for its hardware. The design is carefully polished cube which has rear USB port and cable to connect to the Net The idea is to make up for the power of the central apparatus, with Tegra 3 processor, common in next generation tablets with constant Internet connection to have the power and additional servers. The package will compañado a single command, but to play with a limit of four.

For this amount can not expect large deployments. Only have eight gigabytes of internal memory, support up to four wireless, and is pensanda to download Internet games and especially online play.

During E3, the annual video game, knew how to exploit their sympathy to supplement the lack of means. Instead of having an area within the enclosure planted a trailer in the parking lot across the street. From early afternoon until sunset permit test the first units while inviting beers. In that case, rather than go to the final consumer, trying to curry favor with developers.

Interestingly, the circle closes the console where he was born. Kickstarter is flooding with fundraising projects and making games in this format. You can find a puzzle with role-air, a kind of Tetris, a peculiar pinball, a title shot in space, a graphic adventure style pixelated old school to an interpretation of Risk with armored cars. Among the studies already working on this platform out Double Fine.

The right to information prevails over the right to forget ... - 20minutos.es

class=”text”> The Google logo in an office. (GTres)

citizen in a newspaper published in 1998, two notices of auction of properties related to a seizure for debt to Social Security. The man manages to solve the embargo and the matter is forgotten. However, twelve years later discovers that entering your name in Google, his name still appears linked to that case , which can cause harm to your reputation. Analog Reality has forgotten his past, digital reality, no. What can you do about it?

citizen decided to resort to the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD). He was not alone. In April 2011, the AEPD made Google an unprecedented request: that would eliminate the links to all content related 90 people that had claimed his right to be forgotten judicially, individuals seeking to stop name appear in the popular search engine associated with a misdemeanor or felony in the past, to a specific event that do not want to remember or a group or association that no longer belong, among many other cases.

class=”quote_new”> is an opinion of the attorney, a non-binding opinion that functions as a recommendation On Tuesday, the Advocate General at the Court of Justice of the European Union, Niilo Jääskinen has put paid to the hopes of all those citizens to ensure that the EU directive on data protection provides no generalized right to be forgotten. Request Internet search engines to eliminate legitimate and legal information has been made public, underscores Jääskinen, “would bring an interference with freedom of expression editor web page” and “amount to a censorship of content posted by a particular. “

AEPD ARCO rights advocates, according to which the citizen has the right to “access, rectification, cancellation and opposition to the publication of certain personal data.” But the rights of rectification, erasure and blocking of data specified in the policy concern cases where data are incomplete or inaccurate , which according to general counsel not the case in this matter.

The Internet giant is satisfied with the conclusions, but remember that this is only a preliminary comment. “It’s really an opinion of counsel, a non-binding which works as a recommendation. Still need to have a statement” , says the director of the Legal Department of Google Spain, María González Ordóñez, 20minutes . “The ruling is not final, but crucial,” he adds.

Ordonez also notes that this ruling, they expect to arrive towards the end of the year, could be decisive in regulating the right to oblivion in Europe, an issue that is being debated right now in Brussels and will be included in the forthcoming reform of data protection rules in the EU , which aims to adapt to the changes brought about by new technologies (current EU legislation dating back to 1995).

However, some believe that this new legislation will not change practically nothing. The lawyer Rafael Gimeno-Bayon, computer law expert and one of those responsible for ONline Reputation Legal, said “until expiration is set some information in the digital environment, which is something that is not going to do the right oblivion not work. ” “I call it digital condemnation. A means online can catch the prosecution information and publish it true about someone. Though such person has been acquitted, can not require the means to remove information, as this is not no truth, but it does not even have the right to publish the news of the acquittal to the same visibility as the other, “argues Gimeno-Bayon.

The expert, who is not considered a “radical right to be forgotten” qualifies it is a right that is not absolute. “I do not think you have to remove all the old information. Societies advance with memory. But I would have to establish a law applicable to very specific cases bleeding, “he says.

AEPD emphasizes that the Advocate General are not binding and indicates that while many points agrees with his interpretation, there are others that disagree. Despite what Jääskinen argues, the agency said that “resolutions protects citizens requesting an end to the spread of personal data not interfere in any way on the freedoms of expression and information “.

Privacy

not advocate the elimination of all uncomfortable information for citizens, do not even ask that search engines stop displaying it. Would be strange if a fact or news remained in the archive of the print edition of a newspaper but were eliminated in the digital edition, even taking into account the different difficulty to access one to the other. The requesting agency adheres to a set of conditions.

class=”quote_new”> AEPD in any case require modification or alteration of the original sources “guardianship applications are denied information whenever current deal or that have some degree of relevance or public interest. only be granted when, after due analysis of the case, we conclude that it is personal information, as well as being obsolete, lack any relevance or public interest and its widespread dissemination is causing injury to the rights of the applicant “they explain.

further point out that “in no case require modification or alteration of the original sources, but only for an end to their broadcast through the search engines.”

However, Google relies on the opinion of Jääskinen and maintains that “you can not put all the burden of responsibility on the search engines.” “If a person wants his name disappears from a publication, must resort to the editor responsible for it , not the search engine.’s The publisher who must remove the information or to ask a search engine to stop index that page, “explains Gonzalez Ordonez. “If the information published is lawful and is true, does not infringe the right to honor and, therefore, would eliminate a form of censorship. If the information is defamatory and a court asked to leave, we will do it without hesitation,” says .

Besides these cases of right to oblivion, the EU discusses other equally complex as related information published social networks and on websites of photographs or videos, which cover the tracks Digital is sometimes very difficult.

    AutoRip Tuesday, a new service that offers customers the MP3 version of the songs on the CDs and vinyl to shop at Amazon. When a customer buys a CD or vinyl AutoRip logo, the MP3 version of the songs added to the library of your Cloud Player where it is available to listen or download.

    last January, Amazon announced a new music-related services available in their online store. It trtaba of AutoRip although at that time it was only available for users in the United States. Five months later, Amazon Spain users can now enjoy AutoRip.

    With this new Amazon service users should have access to music from CDs and vinyl Amazon.es purchased through digitally. In addition, customers who have purchased anytime AutoRip albums since Amazon.es first opened his music store in September 2011, find the MP3 version of those albums on your Cloud Player library also automatically added.

    More than 240,000 albums, including titles from major labels, are available for AutoRip today, and more titles are added every day. Customers just have to find the logo of AutoRip.

    Music can be played from any HD Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire, mobile or tablets Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and any web browser, giving customers the freedom to enjoy your music from more devices than any other music service in the cloud.

    addition, all AutoRip MP3 files are stored in the library free Cloud Player customer, without limit of space Cloud Player. The AutoRip music is presented in high quality MP3 audio of 256 kbps.

    Amazon gives the disc digital version purchased - The País.com (Spain)

    Goodbye

    waiting since buying a CD (or vinyl) over the Internet until it reaches the house and you can hear. Amazon wants to lighten further adding sending digital version of the physical disks you sell in your store.

    Amazon, which premiered in January this service in the United States, is now offering in Spain, Germany and France. Mull waiting activate it soon in the UK. “We want you to enjoy shopping in a few seconds so that the MP3 is perfect. The important thing is the content, not just support, “says François Nuyt responsible Amazon in Spain.

    Not entire catalog, but 250,000 titles. When it had created 50,000, so the growth rate is remarkable. Raul Julia, Amazon music responsible Spain, holds that represents 70% of its current offer.

    most interesting advantage is that it works retroactively. That is, if someone bought a disc from the store opening in Spain, in the fall of 2011, and Amazon already has it in MP3 will be added directly to your cloud. Each buyer has 250 songs for free on their cloud storage. The bought, either in analog or digital, have not within those 250 complimentary. For 25 euros a year, the space expands to 25,000 songs. A similar price to charge Apple store in your cloud songs not from iTunes.

    buy, albums with this option will appear, along with the cover and price, a sign where it says AutoRip, as this technology is called.

    Opening

    usual surprising for the music industry. The songs, which are stored in the digital cloud each MP3 can be downloaded as many times as desired, listen online or forward to someone, they are unrestricted. You can open the session with the music stored on up to 10 devices (whether mobile, tablet or PC) at a time.

    The only restriction is when you want to make a gift to someone. Then it works. Only sends and receives the physical format. The directors of the company argued that it is a matter of rights management imposed by the record.

    Following this approach, it would be natural that this service also extrapolated Star article, books. Nuyts resisted: “Our focus is to make life easier. As a consumer I want to save money and enjoy it as before purchased, but we have nothing to announce at this field. “

    Cassini data help to understand large storms ... - Latercera

    src=”http://static.latercera.com/20121026/1642014.jpg”

    class=”p1″>

    These storms-also called large white spots the way they appear in the planet’s atmosphere, occurring once every 30 Earth years, as published in the journal Nature Geoscience .

    The first storm of this type was observed in 1876. However, the last occurred three years ago was captured with high resolution images from the Cassini spacecraft, a joint project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA.

    Now, after the analysis performed by scientists through computer models, it has been concluded that the storm originated in a small focus later expanded rapidly, causing a disturbance in the atmosphere and the generation of a ring of white clouds that envelop the planet achieved in less than two months.

    addition, the winds that were generated in this storm that lasted seven months reached 500 kilometers per hour.

    Scientists say that the analysis of Saturn’s storms not only help understand its origin, but also to understand the meteorological phenomena of the atmosphere.

      Cassini

    • Nasa
    • ESA

  • Spanish scientists reveal the behavior of large ... - The Vanguard

    Madrid. (IRIN). – Scientists at Esteve Duran Observatory Foundation, the Science Institute de l’Espai, University of the Basque Country and the European University Miguel de Cervantes have managed to reveal how major storms behave Saturn after conducting a study on this planet, which has been published in the journal ‘Nature-Geoscience’.

    About once every Saturn year, equivalent to about 30 Earth years, generated a storm of huge proportions that affects the appearance of the atmosphere on a global scale. These giant storms also called Great White Spots, since historically and since they began to observe (in 1876) have been presented as very bright white regions and highly differentiated from the rest of the planet’s atmosphere on observations with ground-based telescopes.

    From the nineteenth century until the late twentieth century, there have been only five major storms. The sixth storm was scheduled for 2020 but was ahead 10 years, appearing in 2010. So, in early December three years ago, Saturn began to show a very bright white cloud mid-northern latitudes.

    was the first sign of pregnancy of this majestic storm which reached an area of ??thousands of millions of square miles. On this occasion, the Cassini spacecraft was able to obtain very high resolution images of the great weather structure. The storm originated in a focus but quickly stretched in length and produced a change in the atmosphere, creating a ring of white clouds that enveloped the planet in less than two months and seemingly quiet disturbed vision we have of its clouds.

    The storm was so extraordinarily active that produced a warming of more than 60 degrees in the high stratosphere located above the storm. Moreover, the Cassini spacecraft, in orbit around Saturn, recorded a record electrical activity during the seven months of life of the storm.

    Both the analysis of the images of the storm sent by the Cassini probe, as computer models of the storm and the analysis of its clouds, have enabled this team of scientists for the first time explain the behavior of the storm. The team has carried out this work, analyzed the images taken by the Cassini spacecraft (NASA / ESA) to measure winds in the “head” of the storm and the focus where the activity originated.

    Thus, they found that in this region the storm interacted with the surrounding atmosphere forming intense sustained winds up to 500 kilometers per hour. “We did not expect such a violent circulation in the region of development of the storm, which was a symptom of a particular interaction between the storm and the planet’s atmosphere,” said one of the authors, Enrique Garcia.

    meteorological information for future

    The study not only provides the discovery of strong winds associated with the storm, but also reveals the mechanism that generates, as experts have noted. The team of scientists designed own mathematical models able to reproduce the storm in a computer, which give a physical explanation of the behavior of this giant storm on Saturn.

    Calculations showed that the focus of the storm, located in the lower layers of the atmosphere and fully accessible to observations from space, due to transport huge amounts of gas to the upper layers of the planet’s atmosphere where clouds are visible, and release huge amounts of energy that altered the appearance of the planet for months.

    massive injection of energy interacted violently with Saturn’s prevailing winds to produce the observed winds of 500 kilometers per hour. Despite the advances provided by this study, it is still a mystery power source of these giant storms, located, possibly, some 250 kilometers below the cloud ceiling visible from space, where water condenses on Saturn.

    Despite its enormous activity, the storm can not substantially change the regime prevailing winds that blow constantly in the same direction parallel to the ground, but interact violently with them.

    Beyond

    curious about the physical processes that lead to the formation of these giant storms on Saturn, the study of these phenomena has permitted a better understanding of weather patterns and behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere in an environment very different and impossible to simulate in a laboratory.

    Saturn storms are somehow a test of the physical mechanisms that generate other meteorological phenomena on Earth, have indicated the study’s authors.

    Splendor of the phenomenon of superluna - El Periódico de Catalunya

    Sant Joan is the Christian version of the pagan celebration of the solstice, the longest day, the 2013 will be remembered for being recent astronomical superluna year, one of those rare days in a century when the moon show larger and brighter than ever and offers its most spectacular image.

    Cape Sounion, Greece.

    superluna-name taken from astrology and not astronomy-happens thanks to a conspiracy of elements: the time when the satellite in its rotation around the Earth passes closer to the planet, which is called perigee, but it also has to match that is in its full phase, that is, is when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon. Yesterday, specifically, the phenomenon reached its peak half hour of the full moon to moon, at 13 am (11.00 GMT).

    maketh OR EVENT / The spectacular Moon was last night clouds Catalunya where it was allowed to 356 991 kilometers, just 414 miles further than the March 19, 2011, one of the most spectacular superlunas are remembered and some doomsayers related to the earthquake in Japan, according to NASA, this year is 14% bigger than usual, and 30% brighter, but that has no relation to adverse natural phenomena or significantly influences at the level of the tides. The floods, according to the U.S. weather agency, are more related to the winds with the Moon.

    superlunas frequency depends on the trajectory of the orbits of the Moon around the Earth. It may happen that there superlunas several years in a row and then stop for long periods if any. The next is expected on August 10, 2014, but the closest to Earth will be in 2034. Just do not be on Sant Joan.

    Vegetation map of the Earth produced by the satellite Suomi ... - The Mundo.es

    NASA has presented a detailed mapping of the vegetation of our planet through images made with data collected by the Suomi NPP satellite for a year. Suomi NPP (acronym for ‘National Polar-orbiting Partnership “) is a joint mission between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States.

    The images show the difference between green and arid areas of the Earth as seen in the radiometer data for visible-infrared images VIIRS instrument aboard the satellite. VIIRS detects changes in the reflection of light, producing images that measure changes in vegetation over time .

    vegetation data Suomi NPP will join many products and services, including environmental monitoring and the impact of drought .

    These vegetation index measures monitor plant growth, vegetation cover and biomass production from satellite information. Is calculated from the visible and near-infrared light reflected by the vegetation. Higher values ??represent a dense and green vegetation. Lower values ??represent sparse vegetation under stress conditions such as drought.

    VIIRS measurements are some of the data records collected by several NASA satellites such as Terra and Aqua, in orbit since December 1999 and February 2002, respectively.

    The finest atlas brain - The País.com (Spain)

    a neuroscientist’s dream is to get to know the human brain with the same precision as the nervous system of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, whose 100 neurons exact synaptic connections all years are an open book for science. And today are closer than ever to that ideal with BigBrain, a digital reconstruction of the human brain full 3D and ultra-high resolution that far outstrips any previous initiative of this kind. BigBrain is the essential tool they need neurological laboratories worldwide to elucidate the form and function of our brains. And will be publicly available at zero cost.

    Until now there are other

    brain atlas, but only arrive at the macroscopic level, or visible. Its resolution only reaches the level of a cubic millimeter, and the volume of brain neurons easily fit 1,000. The new low BigBrain focus to a level “almost cell”, according to scientists who have created it. That means you get to discriminate each small circuit of neurons that is behind our mental activity, which may include all available information on the brain, from genes and neurotransmitter receptors to cognition and behavior.

    class=”texto_grande”>

    a patient

    reference brain is based on a woman who died at age 65, which was filleted at 7,400 histological sections of just 20 microns (the thickness of a hair, and about the size of a cell). The BigBrain, according to its creators, opens the way for understanding the neurobiological basis of cognition, language and emotion, and also to investigate neurological diseases and develop drugs against them. The model is presented in Science and will be available for registered users http://bigbrain.cbrain.mcgill.ca.

    The work has been coordinated by Katrin Amunts, Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine, Jülich, Germany, and Alan Evans Neurological Institute at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Both explained their research in a conference call for reporters with the editor of Science, Peter Stern.

    Perhaps the most widely used human cell line by laboratories around the world over the past half century is the line HeLa, the crop comes from a uterine tumor that was removed in 1951 to a patient named Henrietta Lacks (of hence the name of the line) that, despite having died a few months after the operation, and got a unique form of immortality.

    The voluntary lacked neurological or psychiatric history

    No wonder

    reporters yesterday showed a special interest in women of 65 who has been immortalized his brain as a digital model that endures for centuries or millennia. Who knows if the neuroscience of the future will be able to rebuild from BigBrain thoughts and deepest desires of this woman, the recesses of their emotions and the ambiguities of morality. That is undressing for posterity an autobiography you laugh.

    media’s insistence, however, ran into the uncompromising commitment of scientists to preserve the privacy of the deceased woman. Neither Amunts or Evans and his colleague Karl Zilles, or indeed the Science editor who organized the hearing, declined to give news about life that somehow, recorded for posterity. Amunts saying only that “lacked a neurological or psychiatric history” and in that sense “is what we would call a normal brain.” This, at least, us from the Frankenstein myth for once.

    “The authors have expanded the boundaries of current technology,” said Stern, who sees the research, in a way, as the natural consequence of the work of classical neuroanatomists with Cajal to the head, which laid a century ago the basis of the structural description of the human brain. Most people, including medical students, tend to see the anatomy as an annoying but unavoidable tostón to pass the course.

    class=”texto_grande”>

    But if biology has taught us a lesson is to explain how the function, to understand the functioning of a biological system always starts to see its structure. Remember genetics: the sheer, simple and naked form of the DNA double helix, where the letters in a row are complemented by those of the other, self-explanatory that living things can make copies of themselves. Also the shape of proteins, with their propellers and blades and folding capricious, often explaining what each one of them from burning the sugar we eat to activate neurons that make us think.

    Stern, like many other scientists, is convinced that unspoken law of biology has jurisdiction also on the brain, on the mechanisms of our mental life. We shapes. “This work can be seen as a culmination of anatomy,” said the editor of Science. “Without a thorough knowledge of the structure of the brain will never understand the rest of neurobiology”.

    Evans also proclaimed: “Big science has reached the brain.” The slogan is a veiled reference to the genome projects and particle accelerators, which involve six figures, medium-term programming and a scientific teams whose signatures rarely fit on the page of the journal which publishes. Although there are hundreds of laboratories worldwide research in neurobiology, the brain had so far with great planning of this type, such as those used to sequence the human genome and find the Higgs boson. Big science has reached the brain.

    The result will be publicly available for other researchers

    Despite the undoubted

    depth of the issues involved, the great achievements of the work have been of a technical nature. “The project has been a tour de force to join the more than 7,400 images of individual histological sections,” says Evans, “each with its own distortions, rips and tears, into a coherent, three-dimensional volume. BigBrain allows for the first time 3D exploration citoarquitectónica human anatomy. ” The prefix cyto means cell, and in the mouth of Evans wants to emphasize the high resolution of the model, close to the cellular level: Sleep near the worm Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Scientists took the dead woman’s brain at 65 and encastraron in paraffin wax, a preliminary step before dissection usual fine. And this was fine: the slices had only 20 micron (thousandths of a millimeter) thick. Not even a German scientist has a pulse so strong enough to do that, and the researchers used a special machine for this purpose, a microtome gigantic.

    thin slices

    woman’s brain were mounted on slides and treated with substances that stain most important cellular structures, much to the Cajal or Golgi, if you look good. What ever could have dreamed such great neurologists of the past is the prodigious computing power, and sophistication of the mathematics associated with access to current science. However, data collection took about 1000 hours, and the robots still can not do everything.

    BigBrain, the high resolution 3D map and “almost” cell that is already part of the public domain, is a big step toward deeper understanding of the brain and mind. Your objective is to understand the neurobiological basis of learning and knowledge acquisition, language and emotions, clumsiness and of human creativity. It is public and free, and so far no use to spy on anyone.

    Google brings together virtually to several doctors in the world to ... - Lainformacion.com

    Madrid, June 21. – The augmented reality glasses Google have allowed several doctors participating from different parts of the planet in the first surgical operation in the world with this technology.

    Google Glass is a device consisting of a camera, GPS, Bluetooth, a microphone and a small display that permits, for example, the surgeon to visualize vital signs without eyes off the surgical field.

    chief of trauma clinic CEMTRO, Pedro Guillen, has placed Google glasses to transplant to a patient of 49 years chondrocytes of the knee, a type of cell found in cartilage.

    Guillen, who has become the first physician in the world to operate with these glasses, explained to Efe experience.

    “I placed the glasses, you just wear a pin, with an integrated camera that transmitted over the Internet to more than 160 people all that I saw and I have asked from California and even from Sydney”, has confirmed Dr. .

    Guillen stated that it is a breakthrough “too large” for medical education, to prevent doctors have to move.

    Google

    The device also allows the ability to collect patient information instantaneously or access your medical records in the cloud or “directions or advice from other doctors simultaneously,” said Guillen.

    Google Glass, which also record videos in HD, has been developed also by a Spanish engineer, Julian Beltran, who said Efe that this is a technology that will revolutionize global medicine.

    Thanks to the device, Dr. Homero Rivas medical school at the American University of Stanford, as well as watch the operation, has been able to give real-time instructions to Dr. Guillen.

    “A Country Doctor Rwanda who has never faced a brain operation can query files or talking to another neurosurgeon not present and this is a revolution for telemedicine,” he told Efe Expert Iñigo, a spokesman for the clinic CEMTRO.

    Spanish Medical

    perform the world’s first surgery to Google Glass

    service chief Cemtro Traumatology Clinic of Madrid, Pedro Guillen and his team have done in Spain the world’s first surgery with augmented reality glasses Google Glass .

    The transaction, which has been made possible by the Catholic University of Murcia, Murcia Droiders company, the unique development capacity for this device in Spain, there has been a man of 49 years who suffered from a cartilage defect and, after three operations, continued to suffer severe pain.

    class=”quote_new”> not have bothered me all these glasses as it has even been times when I’ve forgotten that I was wearing To perform this procedure, Dr. Guillen extracted the patient four or five pieces allowing meniscus cartilage grown in the clean room of the clinic, up to 40 million cells . Once obtained, the expert has placed them in a membrane of the same size of the lesion and, finally, it has been introduced so that these cells are able to reproduce from biochemical signals and repair the patient’s injury. It is therefore chondrocyte transplantation for treating cartilage injuries which is only done in Spain by this clinic, as it is the only one who has a clean room for cultivation.

    However, the novelty this time is the use of Google Glass as it has enabled even 150 people around the world live should witness the operation, as, for example, the director of Innovative Surgery, School of Medicine, Stanford University (USA), Homero Rivas, who has been wondering all the time Dr. Guillén the doubts that arose during surgery.

    “It bothered me all these glasses as it has even been times when I’ve forgotten that I was wearing.’s a very interactive because has allowed physicians , I were watching over the Internet, me questions . It is therefore a very good tool for preparing physician and researcher since rich will allow them to live to see operations, “said Guillen.

    Specifically, Google Glass comprises a camera, a GPS , ‘bluetooth’, microphone and a small viewer that allows the user to view a slide show and at same time, taking pictures and recording videos with voice only. Thus, several doctors participating in an operation without being present, share opinions and information about the patient instantly, and access their medical records in the cloud to search for data or store.

    addition, as explained Droiders founder, Julian Moreno Beltrán, has the advantage that only activated when the doctor raises his head as to observe the image that is projected on the glasses you need to look up . Therefore, this mechanism does not interrupt the view of the physician and therefore allows you to observe at all times the patient who is intervening.

    Finally, Beltran Moreno reported that with these glasses, which weigh only 36 grams , you will be able to detect color changes in the face of patients, to tell the press that is having at all times, or understand the interactions of different drugs, including “many possibilities”.

    Big Brain (big brain) is the name of the map of the human brain in 3D more detailed history. It has been created by scientists in Canada and Germany from 7,400 sheets of the brain of a woman of 65 years, according to a study published today in the journal Science .

    The map has 50 times the resolution of previous models that mimicked traditional brain scanner and displays individual neurons and connections between them, at a level of microscopic detail. Also, the research is part of European Human Brain Project, which devotes 1,000 million euros to try to develop a computer model of the brain.

    Its creators, researchers at the Heinrich Heine University in Dusseldorf (Germany) and at McGill University in Montreal (Canada), began the project in 2003. plan to make it available to the public for free through a web CBRAIN to be called in order to facilitate the work of researchers around the world.

    class=”ladillo”>

    The team chose the brain of a deceased donor 65 years because it had no clear signs of degenerative disease or other damage, the magazine explained study author, Katrin Amunts, who works in the University of Düsseldorf.

    They preserved the brains with the chemical formaldehyde for several months, and then started slicing extremely fine , the thickness of a human hair, as they felt it to be more thick may lose details has indicated Amunts.

    Then scanned each of the 7,400 lots of brain , which I took about 1,000 hours, according to the researcher.

    Montreal study co-author, Alan Evans, was then in charge of rebuilding the brain in a coherent and correct errors and cracks generated during cutting, for what is supported in a computer network spread throughout Canada.

    Amunts

    now want to create maps with the brain of a man and that of a younger person, in order to capture possible differences related to sex or development, according Science .

    Simultaneously, U.S. scientists working on another map of the human brain designed to help cure diseases like Alzheimer’s or epilepsy , in an initiative announced in April by the president, Barack Obama, and has an initial investment of $ 100 million.

    The Supreme Court is carried forward part of the rules of the ... - The Mundo.es

    regulation called ‘Sinde Law’, which specifies how to apply the measures approved two years ago to fight dercargas unauthorized content on the Web, be slightly modified after Supreme Court ruling nullifying part of an article that says that the cancellation of contents is a recognition of a violation.

    Supreme estimated

    partially an action brought last year by Internet Business Network (REI).

    While the court’s decision allows hardly any of the demands of these organizations, the High Court itself recognizes invalid phrase of Article 20.2 of Royal Decree 1889/2011, of 30 December, which regulates the operation of the Commission on Intellectual Property, as contrary to law.

    This article refers to the action of removing a content-or-allegedly-infringing voluntary withdrawal, and automatic assessment of this behavior as “an implicit recognition of that violation.” That is, according to this article, remove a content (a link to a download) a website after receiving the request of Culture could imply that the responsibility for that website acknowledged that infringe intellectual property rights.

    The importance of this nullity is great as the lawyer in the case, Javier Maestre . Speaking to the Navigator, Master recalled that “as drafted the regulation, its enlazabas a YouTube video on your site, you received a warning from the Commission on Intellectual Property and the borrabas fear, was what you were admitting the illegality of the link, and that could be used in other ways like Civil “.

    course, the rest of the judgment validates that an administrative body has the power to remove content and terminate web services , which is the aim of the legal amendments planned called ‘Law Sinde.

    Association of Internet

    , another sentence

    On the other hand, almost as another judgment of the Supreme Court entirely rejected the appeal against the same regulations that had been brought against the same regulation also the ‘Sinde Law’ by the Association of Internet Users (AI). The AI ??has already announced that it will turn on under this judgment, which also condemns the association court costs.

    According to EFE, the Supreme Court reiterated in this sentence is legal precept called Sinde Law attributed to an administrative body the power to remove content and terminate web services , but has also recalled that judges should be the ones to review the implementation of these measures .

    is not the first time the University of Vigo appears in a ranking of The Times Higher Education. The same magazine was included in the 2012-2013 world university, which are already long-established institutions having no age limit. In this case the de Vigo figure between 351 and 400 posts thanks to things like publications, involvement in the industry, internationally, teaching and research. His presence is a milestone, considering that only accompany six other Spanish universities of Barcelona, ??Madrid and Valencia and is the only Galician.

    In front of this top 400 included two U.S. centers: California Institute of Technology and Stanford University, followed by Oxford.

    Classification of The Times Higher Education thirteen indicators evaluated carefully calibrated to place each of the centers.

    These are not the only classifications in which appears the University of Vigo. Also part of the prestigious Shanghai ranking, which takes into account their excellence, despite having a budget much lower than many other institutions listed. In this case, Vigo has managed to stay in the same area as the previous year. Other institutions such as the de Compostela fell last year.

    Now, the challenge for educational leaders is to maintain that status despite official cuts. The University of Vigo has opted for external fundraising, which is essential to avoid debt and advances in R + D + i.

    Data Protection opens proceedings against Google by ... - The Mundo.es

    Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) has opened disciplinary proceedings in relation to Google’s new unified privacy policy for most of its services and implemented by the company in March last year, reports the own agency in a memo (PDF).

    is a move announced a few hours after the French agency for data protection, CNIL, give an ultimatum to the company to comply with the laws of the country. The AEDP states “agreed the start of this research in the framework of a coordinated action with the Data Protection Authorities of Germany, France, Holland, Italy, United Kingdom “.

    In Spain, the procedure is to clarify, among other things, whether the combination of data from various services complies with the guarantees of information to users, if the aims and proportionality for which information is used legitimizes data processing and if the retention periods and options for users to exercise their rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition meet the Organic Law on Data Protection.

    In a brief statement, Google has stated that its privacy policy “respect European laws allows you to create simple and effective services.” “We are fully engaged with the authorities in this process, and will continue to be enjoined hereinafter” concludes his note.

    Five

    serious offenses and a slight

    beginning of this disciplinary proceeding occurs after completing the previous research conducted by the AEPD, which allowed finding of evidence of the commission of a total of six offenses -five of them serious that could lead to fines of up to 300,000 euros and a slight-of the Data Protection Act.

    Among the signs detected by the Spanish agency, it notes that “Google does not report clearly about the use you will make of the data it collects from users , so they can not know precisely which ends justify the collection of personal information or the use to be made of the same “.

    addition, unified privacy policies allow the company, according to the AEPD, “combine personal information from one service to the other and use it for other purposes.”

    also suspect that Google “could be doing a disproportionate treatment of user data,” the company “could be preserving user data indefinitely or unreasonable” .

    Finally, it alleges that “ tools offered by Google to exercise the rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition are scattered , not available to all users, are incomplete and appear names do not always correspond to the subject in question “.

    Some 60 million students in 80,000 schools in China have received a class on some physical phenomena in zero gravity. The Chinese astronaut, Wang Yaping, gave the lesson from the space lab Tiangong I (prototype of the future Chinese permanent station in the cosmos), through a video-conference also broadcast live on public television CCTV.

    With this kind

    , Beijing wants to bring to the people a program until now secretive and military. Thus, Wang showed the behavioral absence of gravity pendulums, gyroscopes and drops of water , in a class that reminded sometimes a magic show.

    Astronaut asked questions physics to students and answered their questions. One student, for example, asked if there were space concepts “up and down”.

    class=”ladillo”>

    only the second time in the history of space exploration in which there is a spatial class , after the U.S. Barbara Morgan had a similar experience in the International Space Station in 2007 three decades after the first and failed attempt, when the first “Professor Space” Christa McAuliffe, died in the Challenger shuttle accident.

    McAuliffe was to be the first teacher in space, but died along with his six companions in the explosion of the Challenger few moments after takeoff, a tragedy that was broadcast live and received huge media attention by the news that she was the first civilian flying into space.

    Wang, meanwhile, is commander of the armed forces of the People’s Liberation Army, even before the martial parked children military and was shown as a young woman smiling and relaxed .

    official press stressed that Wang is from the eastern province of Shandong, the same area where he was born the most famous professor of national history, the philosopher Confucius .

    A 340 miles above Earth, Wang also introduced children to his fellow travelers, astronauts and Nie Haisheng Zhang Xiaoguang, flight commander.

    Nie, the first Chinese astronaut repeated as space travel and was there in 2005, asked the children to “explore much” and delighted them with a floating pirouette in the air, in a similar position to that of a Buddhist monk meditating in order to show the students the power of zero gravity.

    The three were launched into space on June 11, aboard the Shenzhou X, and plan to be 15 days orbiting the Earth, so they return to the planet next week.

    With this initiative, China, the t hird country able to launch astronauts into space (after EE. States., Russia), aims to bring ordinary citizens, 10 years after his first manned flight, a program so far opaque, to be administered by the People’s Liberation Army .

    Also, gives new impetus to an initiative, spatial classes, which its tragic beginning was paralyzed for decades. The idea of ??teaching in the cosmos was an initiative of the U.S. government of Ronald Reagan, who created the program Teachers in Space in 1984, and selected McAuliffe and Morgan (the latter as reserve driver) 11,000 teachers across the country.

    After the accident in 1986, Morgan took 12 years to travel into space (in 1998, with the shuttle Endeavour) and 20 to give a lesson similar to the spatial McAuliffe had given in 1986.

    Morgan sent last week from Los Angeles a congratulatory letter to Wang Yaping , which wished him well in his class space ” on behalf of teachers and students around the world “. “You’ll be busy up there but take some time to look out the window,” said Morgan in his letter to Wang

    The first Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei, traveled the cosmos the October 16, 2003 to aboard the Shenzhou V, and the current mission is the fifth manned Chinese space program, whose main objective is to lay groundwork for a permanent space station in the cosmos by early next decade.

    It was the most talked

    at E3: the need to connect the new console once every 24 hours for it to work. This factor, the price of 499 euros and control over the games for sale, made Xbox One was not the winner of the show.

    A week after Microsoft has rectified. Don Mattrick, president of interactive entertainment, insists that appreciates the criticism and changed his mind. “Xbox One is designed for today but also for the next decade. We are therefore prepared for a world that always connected leverages the cloud “starts. To then have to make clear that backtracking on initial plans: “The community has asked the world’s best offline, with disks and options now used to exchange Xbox 360 games resell, play offline. “

    The manager insists that Xbox One will be able to give the world’s best online and offline . Larry Hryb, the online gaming service console, explained that the games in physical format (discs) just make a check once but need not be online to play with them.

    This is true also with games bought online. You will not need to be connected to the Internet to use. Another restriction is the regional falls, the same title can be played anywhere in the world, something that has characterized the Sony, but that Microsoft introduced in your Xbox, common in the world of DVD and Blu Ray.

    Sony PlayStation 4, due out about the same time, but with a price less than $ 100 Microsoft apparatus, and allowed the exchange of second-hand games, while leaving control in the hands of others. Although not ask to be connected to the Internet, it is a requirement might touch them now remove the last requirement to match the fight and make a nod to consumers six months before release.

    One backtracks Xbox - Vasco Journal

    Xbox backtracks One

    Xbox One, the new Xbox.

    “We will not change what we’ve done with Xbox One”. The phrase is from Larry Hryb, spokesman for the Xbox division of Microsoft, and delivered less than a week ago, during an interview in which he was asked about the strong stance that Redmond had with respect to restrictions games for sale and the obligation to connect the internet new console every 24 hours.

    Just days after Microsoft announced that reverses its policy. Perhaps the collapse has been important in terms of reserves. The truth is that it has been the Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft Interactive Entertainment, who wrote the blog post on the official Xbox detailing the changes.

    class=”p”>

    With the announcement fades in part-we must remember that PlayStation 4 is still $ 100 cheaper than Xbox One-, the feeling of triumph that Sony had left behind by the E3, the most important video game trade show in the world. When the conference tedious barreled Japanese company and its final, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, Jack Tretton, gave the news that would mark the quote: PS4 with no restrictions of any kind, except for games in which the online is essential, of course.

    With Microsoft’s decision, the balance seems to return to balance and those cries of satisfaction and joy that resonated in the auditorium in Los Angeles after Tretton’s words seem to lose all sense. But in reality, the measures that had been launched from Redmond to stop the second hand never had. Do you have an audiophile logic that could not freely sell his record collection? Should I spend the owner of a Mercedes by the official home to put the car for sale?

    In any case it seems that Microsoft has regained sanity. “We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to change the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity,” says Mattrick at its entrance. “While we believe that most people will play online games and access the cloud to play, will offer consumers the option of having physical or digital content.’ve Heard your feedback loud and clear and we know that you want the best of both worlds “.
