HTC One (M8) for Windows displays its new camera modes – WindowsPhoneApps

If you think about Windows Phone, and Smartphone Cameras, one name that comes to mind is that of Nokia and this has been from while one aspect where Lumia have highlighted not only by their Pureview cameras and Zeiss optics, but for a complete set of applications and features that came back and offered a bonus to their phones. Now with the advent of the new HTC One (M8) for Windows seems that Taiwanese also want to give users to choose their products some features to be proud of, functions that currently do not have the Lumia at least not natively.

Among the information gradually comes pinpoints now captures some features that the Asian giant has incorporated in his return to Windows Phone.

Recording Full HD 60 fps

The HTC One for Windows allow you to record Full HD (1080p) with a speed of 60 frames per second, that is higher than currently offered by Nokia that allows recordings 1080p but with a speed of “only” 30 fps.

Slow Motion Video Recording.

This is one of the functions already available in the Nokia although they do through applications like Video Tuner. Enables recording in slow motion producing some really interesting effects in our records and will incorporate the One HTC natively.

Panoramas

<- V7 Easy AdSense ! .31 -> <- [midtext: 0 urCount: 0 urMax: 0] ->

<- center listings ->

Same situation in the above function, Nokia Panorama allows this type of pictures, although the HTC comes as camera mode and offers the possibility of panoramic photographs.

Capturing images during recording.

the end we have made a feature particularly I really like is the ability to take a picture while we’re making a video recording, as we see in the picture below will have a photo button on the recording screen, this is something that Nokia has not yet added.

It is clear that competition between manufacturers spurs them to go beyond, to develop new features and enhancements and this is always beneficial for the user, do not doubt that the people of Microsoft / Nokia has taken note of what your model brings HTC One for Windows and try to counter it sure soon.

The gaffe European GPS – Deia

A report by Marta M. Garcia – Saturday, August 30, 2014 – Updated at 06: 04h

L OS first two operational Galileo navigational satellites geospatial European system, located in the wrong orbit, it will not serve as the French representative in the project and president of the National Centre for Space Studies ( CNES) of France, Jean-Yves Le Gall.

While the European Space Agency (ESA) is cautious about the use of these two devices, positioned last Friday in a wrong orbit and with whom you have contact from Earth, Le Gall was much more exhaustive indicating that not work for the satellite navigation system in Europe wants to compete with the American GPS.

The consequences of this error almost certainly cause delays in shipments following satellites

“Do not be recoverable (for navigation) because its orbit is not circular as it should have been and therefore are not in good standing in an orbital plane. There may, therefore, serve the Galileo mission , “said exastronauta in an interview published yesterday Magazine Usine Nouvelle . Le Gall said, however, Doresa and Milena, the name of the two satellites, may serve to “make orbit test and validate its operation.” The head of the French space center said that “the consequences” of this error “be limited”, although it may cause a delay in shipments following satellites of the Galileo constellation. To do this, he said, is necessary as soon as possible to be aware of the reasons for failure, to continue immediately with the launcher, which provides a new one in December. Galileo provides consist of 24 satellites, of which six are spare, Le Gall recalled.

A is ahead of the first conclusions of the commission of inquiry set up to analyze this error, planned for the next day 8 Le Gall, who for years chaired the space launch consortium Arianespace, responsible for it , issued his first hypothesis.

“The most likely dysfunction occurred on the fourth floor of the Soyuz, called Fregat , which puts satellite in its final orbit after two consecutive drives. For an unknown reason, the second pulse is not given in the right direction, “he said.

Le Gall said the Russian Soyuz rocket is not to blame for the error, but the system Fregat , conceived jointly by Russian and European. The president of CNES it comes “from a production error” that may be linked to the problems facing the Russian space industry in recent years.

Windows Live Messenger disappeared completely – The Nacional.com

Last year Microsoft announced the cessation of its Windows Live Messenger and migrating all users to the instant messaging application Skype. However, there was still a last bulwark that kept this classic messenger service. China

Unfortunately, today reported the final closing of the application in China, which will be made for the next 31 October.

The decision not to remove the Messenger of China, in the first place was because Skype was greatly surpassed by WeChat, a local operator, and Microsoft did not want to risk losing more market share.

The classic messenger service was created in 1999, but it was not until 2007 that became known as Windows Live Messenger. However, after the emergence of applications such as Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger, he began to lose much market.

According to the website TechNode, to make the Chinese public migrating to Skype, Microsoft has promised to offer a coupon $ 2 for making calls in the application.

in October and Windows Messenger completely disappear, this will be the final farewell

Microsoft removes over 1,500 apps Windows Store – The IT Group

Microsoft wants to improve the ecosystem of Windows apps. With the Windows 8 Windows Store came with specific apps Modern UI. Now the multinational has eliminated more than 1,500 apps Windows Store .

The reason is that these trick the user with misleading titles or descriptions . Apparently they would shoddy apps that claim to get followers easily. Microsoft is committed to quality of apps in the Windows Store.

has changed politics addition for developers are clear and precise in describing the functionality of your app. apps in the Windows Store must be categorized according to their function and purpose . They must also have icons that do not give rise to confusion with other apps.

Microsoft recognizes that the review of the Windows Store apps has much work to do but they are in it. Encourage users to report any problems with apps hosted on the Windows Store for Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

Nothing more than 1,500 apps have been removed so immediate . The company claims that will return the cost of these apps users to buy my payment, they were misleading in the title or description.

Note to users: – ( 0 votes)

Google and Amazon are conducting parallel research to develop drones -drones- serve their commercial purposes.

The same department that Google developed the Google Glass, and works with the latest technology, is the one in charge of this initiative called ‘Ala Project’.

The development has already gone on for two years and have been tested with farmers in Queensland (Australia).

The idea is to make a shipment of goods to businesses and consumers using these flights, which would provide greater efficiency and respect for the environment, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Amazon is also engaged in a similar project, further evidence of the strong competition between the two companies continues to grow.

Google will supply drone – ElEspectador.com

On Thursday, Google revealed through a video the ‘project Wing’ (poryecto wing) initiative that plans to make the delivery of small packages via drones with the ability to handle themselves. In this way, the Mountain View company seeks to create a system to deliver faster and safer.

The ‘Wing’ project is being developed two years ago by Google X, a division of company specializing in technology development and was revealed on Thursday after overcoming a testing phase that covered the entire last month. These were conducted in Queensland, Australia, where the drones were able to deliver packages such as first aid kits, candy and water among other things.

To achieve this, the company designed a series of aircraft powered by four thrusters capable of carrying 10 kg. weight, 8.6 of which belong to the drone. This also has 1.5 meters wide.

‘Wing’ makes deliveries without landing, this in order to prevent the recipient ersulte injured by the propellers and to prevent the drone damaged by people with bad intentions. For this aircraft package dropped from a considerable height when it reaches the point of delivery, to prevent this impact with the ground and used a rope damage gradually reduces the rate of fall from 10 meters per second at 2 meters per second .

Despite all these advances, the project is still far from start operating publicly. Although drones are already able to reach their destinations, it is still necessary to develop a navigation system capable of detecting obstacles like power lines, birds and even other drones.

to make commercial deliveries, ‘Project Wing ‘aims to support disasters and similar situations providing defibrillators, water and emergency kits, however the delivery of products to shops is not ruled out. This project adds to other Google as the Automobile able to handle alone, also under development.

Recall that Google is not the first company to announce that you want to deliver through drones. Earlier this year the company Internet shopping amazon announced it is working on a service called Amazon Prime Air, which also seeks to deliver orders to customers, the difference is that it focuses only on sales.

France gives for lost two operational Galileo satellites – El Periódico de Aragón

The first two operational Galileo satellites, the European geospatial navigation system, are in the wrong orbit and therefore may not meet its goal, as admitted Jean-Yves Le Gall, chairman of the National Research Center Spatial (CNES) of France and project representative. Le Gall acknowledged that Doresa Milena mills and may not be used for satellite navigation system if you contact them be from Earth.

The exastronauta and CNES president admitted in an interview with the French magazine Usine Nouvelle , the devices are not recoverable for navigation because its orbit “is not circular, as it should have been and, therefore, can not be used in the Galileo system. ”

The clarity of Le Gall contrasts with the official position of the European Space Agency (ESA), which has ruled in a more prudent manner on the possible use of the satellites after last Friday it was confirmed they had been placed in the wrong orbit. What I expected Jean-Yves Le Gall is that the two spacecraft can be used to perform “tests orbit and to validate its operation.”

MISSING PULSE President of the French space center associates this “production error” to the problems that ultimately must face the Russian space industry. Le Gall believes that it is likely that the orbit error has occurred because the Soyuz spacecraft did not give the necessary impetus to satellites and went the wrong way. The head of CNES attributed the “dysfunction” to a malfunction of the device called Fregat, charge injection. Upon notification of the error, a commission of inquiry which will release its findings on September 8 and will then determine “whether it is a badly written or defective equipment element” is created, added Le Gall.

The head of the CNES, indicated that, although ultimately the consequences the incident may be “limited”, the detected error may be a delay in the following satellite launches as scheduled for next month December.

For this reason, reiterated that in order to continue with the program is necessary to know how long before the reasons for the failure. The navigation system Galileo satellite will consist of 24 satellites, six of which will be spare. Each costs 40 million euros, to which must be added another 60 million Soyuz rocket.

The drug against Ebola ZMapp shows 100% effective … – RTVE

RTVE.es/EFE

experimental drug against Ebola has shown ZMapp 100% effective in the recovery of 18 infected primates with the virus, according to a study conducted by the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The researchers, who published their findings Friday in a special edition of the magazine Nature , given three doses of serum, at intervals of three days, copies of rhesus macaque with a similar to human physiology.

They all survived, although Some began treatment at an advanced stage of the disease , to five days after infection.

On the contrary, the three copies of the control group that received the drug died on the eighth day.

cocktail of three antibodies against Ebola

In the Ebola epidemic in West Africa that has caused more than 1,500 deaths, the drug being tested-a cocktail of three antibodies – has been administered several patients, including two Americans who recovered after receiving treatment.

It is unknown whether the serum had a decisive effect on these cures, given that 45% of those infected with the actual virus outbreak survive without the drug.

Two other patients treated with ZMapp have not survived, including the Spanish religious Miguel Pajares, although researchers believe that the lateness of the infection in these cases could be decisive.

Ready to use in humans in two years

So far there is no approved treatment or vaccine to combat Ebola, so controlling the epidemic has limited to palliative care and the creation of barriers to try to prevent further infections.

Gary Kobinger, pathologist Canadian public agency that has directed the experiments, said in press release the drug could be ready for human use within two years.

“Our role as a public research institution is not exposing a product” stressed Kobinger, who has advance that the owner prepares cocktail pharmaceutical clinical trials for early 2015.

Once “past security checkpoints,” said the pathologist, “the question will be to see how much the manufacture, where such Canada wants to buy 10,000 doses. “

” It is essential that human trials begin soon “

Researchers have used for the experiment a different strain of virus to which he is hitting several African countries, but Kobinger ensures that both are “comparable” and that preliminary data from other tests in development with the current strain are “similar, if not better”, which were released Friday.

The Belgian physician Peter Piot, a member of the team that in 1976 discovered the Ebola virus, said for his part that the Canadian study center is the “most compelling evidence yet that ZMapp could be effective in treating Ebola infection in humans “.

” It is essential that human trials will begin as soon as possible. The Ebola outbreak serves as a warning about the importance of invest in infrastructure and health systems . This disease can I control with good hygienic practices, which are often not implemented, “the director of the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London.

” I never thought that forty years after we discovered the first outbreak of Ebola disease lives continue robbing such a devastating scale, “said Piot.

In the current epidemic in West Africa, Ebola virus has infected so far to 3,069 people , of which 1,552 have died, according to the latest count by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Ebola, which is transmitted by direct contact with blood and body fluids of infected persons or animals, causing severe bleeding and can have a mortality rate of 90%.

This is the first time identified and confirmed Ebola epidemic in West Africa, as until now it had only produced in Central Africa.

Amazon Prime vs. Air Google Project Wing – Reuters

<- Multimedia home -> <- end multimedia ->

MADRID, Aug 29 (Portaltic / EP) -.

Google has announced that the Like Amazon, also has an ongoing research project for freight shipments by flying drones . Both projects are being tested and getting outstanding legal certifications that allow them to perform actual testing programs.

AMAZON PRIME AIR

Amazon Prime Air was the first of two programs come to light. With this service, the company headed by Jeff Bezos wants to send the products purchased by users through its online store in nothing less than “30 Minutes or Less” , as explained at first.

The drone used for this service is very different from Google. This has more physical resemblance to a mini helicopter for propellers used to lift and travel.

It is known that this device is capable of reach 80 miles per hour and packages can take about two kilos. The main drawbacks, watching the test pattern, the packages are going almost bare, although they are protected in a plastic box; land and need to make a delivery, which will complicate the distributions in according to what areas.

PROJECT WING

The project that secret Google X labs lead brewing for two years it only looks like Amazon in the concept. Although the capabilities of their drones are unknown, yes we have seen throughout the video that the Mountain View recorded in Australia, drones closely resemble a spaceship of science fiction films .

Unlike the drone Amazon, Google’s incorporates a cargo closed , ie, shipments will go into the drone itself .

The big advantage the Project Wing of Google is method to make deliveries : opens the gate where the package and lowered by a rope. This enables the drone need not land, which could be useful to make deliveries flooded areas , and also, do not touch anything as the cable that lowers the package is automatically disengaged.

In any case, we should expect to see these two services running and that’s what should be change legislation on flying machines , which in the case of Spain It became quite restrictive in its latest update, prohibiting flying both urban and large concentrations of people.

Google also uses drones Casting – The País.com (Spain)

First tests with drones sharing Google

Water, dog food and first aid kits. Those are the first deliveries of the “autonomous flight vehicles,” as called Google announced their new drones. They are part of Project Wing (Wing project in Spanish), the first tests have taken place in Australia and Namibia. Says a spokesperson, have nothing to do with his project to bring Internet Emergency disadvantaged countries, but intend to cover efficiently delivering objects over large sparsely populated. The mind is the proposal to hand Jeff Bezos of Amazon purchases. However, Google does not intend to sell anything or use in urban areas, the great obstacle to the retail giant, but implement it where roads, trains or planes do not arrive.

The unique design is a structure of light and aerodynamic fiber, four helices at the top and a hole in the center to carry the load you want to carry. It takes off like a helicopter, vertically, and once it reaches the proper height, horizontal plans. Inside hides needed to connect remotely to servers that control technology. Routes are determined in advance, but is able to adapt to weather changes by changing the route.

Just like Google Goggles, is one of the projects in principle crazy, coming out of the mind of the co-founder, Sergey Brin. During their two-week summer vacation he went to Australia to check on the spot if it was viable or not your ultimate fantasy. The results, and the fact that they have brought to light, they do so.

The idea was hatched in late 2011 was not until July 2012 when they were able to sign Nick Roy, an aeronautical engineer at MIT, engaged in a project to carry defibrillators in seconds. This had developed a hybrid, capable of flying but also of moving vehicles. It was just the starting point. In 2013 the decision wings that Google would only and exclusively took flying.

According to the scientist, the devices are able to move away between 40 and 60 meters away from the obstacles around and “does not look anything like those toys that weekends are used in the parks.”

A farm outside of Warwick, more than 160 kilometers Brisbane, has served as a test of these prototypes. Google argues that the love of innovation in this region and its open skies, they did the right place for it, as well as large swings in wind, temperature and humidity within hours. What does not show is that it is one of the places in the world with more lax laws in this field.

The playful look, very casual, permeates every milestone in Google. They would be less this time, so the first object was transported a chocolate bar just a kilometer away. The neighbor gave him a bag with & lt; i & gt; snack & lt; / i & gt; in gratitude few minutes later. Then they exchanged goodies for their dogs, “lest to be jealous.” All very nice, but it fits with some of the project’s stated purpose is to reach more safely, cheaply and efficiently where they do no other means of transportation. The following items, to 30, took livestock vaccines and kits Emergency

Brin threat. “We’re back in California, ready to do evidence in the form of adventures. “

For now, neither autonomy nor how to recharge the devices are not concrete, but prefer to do a breakdown of the problems they solve. According to a World Bank report, only 13% of Peru’s roads are well paved. Google insists it will be of great help in case of natural disasters to provide batteries, phones, water and food.

France gives for lost the first two Galileo satellites – The Vanguard

Paris. (Efe) .- The first two satellites Operating the European navigation system geospatial Galileo , located in the wrong orbit, will not serve the purpose for which they had been released, according to the French representative on the project and president of the National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) of France, Jean-Yves Le Gall.

While the European Space Agency (ESA) is cautious about using these two devices, positioned last Friday in a wrong orbit and with whom you have contact from Earth, Le Gall was more specific when used to indicate that no system with satnav that Europe wants to compete with the GPS United States.

“Do not be recoverable (for navigation) because its orbit is not circular as it should have been and therefore are not in good standing in an orbital plane. shall not, therefore, serve the Galileo mission, “said exastronauta in an interview published today in the journal Usine Nouvelle .

Google testing drones for sending merchandise – La Voz de Galicia

Google confirmed Thursday it has already done drone test flights to deliver items purchased online in Australia, contributing their efforts to the work Similar giant online sales Amazon.

Google has two years of research referred to as ‘ Project Wing “(which roughly translates to’ Wing Project “), which this month was tested with test flights carrying snacks, water, medicine, dog biscuits and other objects two farmers in Queensland, Australia. “Vehicles of autonomous flight could open new approaches for the movement of goods” Google said in an article posted on his blog, without specifying dates.

“Through history, the major changes in the movement of goods from one place to another led to new opportunities for the economic growth and generally made the lives of consumers easier.”

Google is also working on autonomous vehicles driverless. Both projects are being developed in the laboratory Google X, dedicated to innovation in new technologies.

The online store Amazon is also working with the idea of ​​’drones-mail’ to deliver packages . In the case of some products could reach deliver within 30 minutes . In July, they sought permission from American authorities for testing in the country.
