people with dark tattoo in doll can have difficulties to use the connection clock Smart Apple Watch because ink obstructs light sensor , said Apple this Thursdays.

“The ink drawings and saturation of some tattoos may block light sensors, so is hard to read reliably “information, Apple’s wrote in his website support .

sensors that connect to the back Watch use LED to detect blood flow and heart rate of people using it so provide information on physical activity .

There are several factors can affect the performance of the sensors Apple Heart Rate Watch,” said the giant new technologies, such as For some irregular movements during a game of tennis, for example.

“The temporary or permanent changes in the skin , such as tattoos, may also affect performance ” of these sensors, Apple said.

After the release of the Apple Watch this April 24, the Internet users have expressed that Some of the disclosed features do not work well when the watch is worn on the wrist tattooed (AFP)

NASA probe crashes into the planet Mercury – El Universal (Venezuela)

 THE UNIVERSAL
 

Thursday April 30, 2015 5:33 PM

Cape Canaveral, Florida, United States .- The NASA spacecraft Messenger the first spacecraft to enter orbit of Mercury, ended his journey on Thursday, crashing into the planet closest to the sun.

Messenger crashed to the ground from orbit at a higher speed 14,000 kilometers per hour and created a crater about 16 meters in diameter. The spacecraft orbited 4,104 times a small planet Mercury and collected more than 277,000 images

, said AP.

The mission controllers confirmed that Messenger crashed as planned when he did not leave the dark side of the planet, about 14 minutes after the occurrence.

The only ship that had been on Mercury before Messenger was Mariner, in the 1970s was launched by NASA, but the mission went through the planet without going into orbit.

“Today We give you a fond farewell to one of the toughest and most successful in exploring our neighboring planets ships, “said the scientist Sean Solomon, director of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.

Solomon said Thursday a statement that the probe Messenger implanted the record for planetary reconnaissance flights-a time for the Earth, Venus twice and Mercury three times before entering the orbit and survive mercurial- “both punishment as an extreme heat radiation dose “to exceed expectations.

Mission controllers were able to keep the spacecraft in orbit a couple of extra weeks using helium gas whose original function was not the fuel. But finally the gas tank was emptied and the relentless pull of gravity brought down to Messenger .

Mercury is the last of the rocky planets in our solar system Mars and Venus well-counting to be contaminated by humans.

The mission of 427 million dollars from the Messenger began with a launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 2004 . The Johns Hopkins University took over all by NASA.

Technical failures threaten arrival of Apple Watch the world – Terra Colombia

While the rest of the countries that did not receive at Apple Watch the last April 24 hold their breath waiting for a definite release date, more technical problems in the first wearable Cupertino darken the outlook for apple fans nations without Apple Store.

This time there is a scratch on his body stainless steel or difficulty working with tattooed users, but a failure táptico sensor, a fundamental system for operation the wearable.

According to a report published by the Wall Street Journal , an unknown number of defective tápticos sensors was achieved strain on the production line of the apparatus, which, in turn, may have delayed sending enough units the device in the Apple Store.

This fallta could also be to blame for the device does not arrive on time to markets in Latin America and some countries in Europe, Asia and Africa.

For those who do not know what is the Motor Táptico (Taptic Engine), is a small device that generates a slight vibration to notify the user of a new message or when it has an option chosen correctly.

However, the likely culprit for this failure is not Apple, but a Chinese company called AAC Technologies supplying Apple (and other companies) Motor components as Táptico. Cupertino solution, according to the WSJ , is to entrust another load of these tiny devices to a Japanese firm.

Pluto may have a frozen pole: scientists – Azteca News

Washington, EUA.- recently captured images of Pluto suggest that the dwarf planet would have ice in his polo, while on the surface white and dark round spots, each of which would measure hundreds of kilometers are observed.

Pluto’s landscapes are beginning to take shape thanks to new images captured by the space probe New Horizons, the National Administration of Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which expects to reach its closest approach to the planet in July next.

The mottled surface seen in the photos suggests a complex and varied terrain, but which aroused great interest among researchers is a bright spot at the north pole of Pluto could be a layer ice, never seen before.

The findings were revealed by the principal investigator of the New Horizons mission, Alan Stern, of the Research Institute of the Southwest, adding that the images captured from a distance of just over 100 million kilometers from Pluto.

Scientists still lack detail and will be until the spacecraft gets close enough to dwarf planet for information about its chemical composition.

images were taken while moving towards New Horizons Pluto, but “after a journey of 114 months, we felt like the ocean sailors. “At least we can see the banks,” says Stern, quoted by Science News Magazine.

The researcher points out that “no matter how it turns Pluto, its pole remains bright”, suggesting that “a cold cap

That’s Edge, the new Microsoft Web browser to replace … – lanacion.com (Argentina)

Among several announcements made during 2015 Build developer conference, attendees could meet Microsoft Edge, the name of the Web browser to replace the historic Internet Explorer on the next version of Windows 10. Replacement the longtime software, which used to be one of the leaders in its segment, it was known in January when the company confirmed the development of a new browser project called Project Spartan.

His name is based on the rendering engine of the new browser, called EdgeHTML. Also, part of what is known as Internet Explorer still remain in effect Edge for Microsoft Windows 10 users in corporate environments, to ensure compatibility with various applications and services developed in previous versions of the web browser.

EdgeHTML integration with Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10 (English)

At first glance, the web browser Microsoft Edge wins a stripped and minimalist design. Adds new features, such as handwritten notes, web articles reader built a native integration and Cortana, the wizard voice of the company which took its first steps on phones with Windows Phone.

In turn, Edge will integrate the use of aggregates of Chrome and Firefox, known in the jargon as add-ons that add some additional features to the browser. Although it is not yet clear what is the procedure to achieve this integration, the company is expected to apply a similar strategy to use mobile applications for Apple iOS and Google Android in its universal store for Windows 10. .

Build 2015: you can run iOS and Android apps on Windows – HoyEnTEC

 Android in Windows Yesterday we talked about the rumors of Android applications running on Windows 10 and as expected the rumors were confirmed in 2015. Build Best of all is that not only run Android applications on Windows 10 so will the applications built for iOS.

What Microsoft intends giving us this opportunity is definitely trying to attract users of the two leading platforms so that They can benefit from the advantages that Windows 10 and terminals Microsoft provides and at the same time enjoy the variety of applications that provide Android and iOS.

Yesterday we speculated on how he was going to do to run these applications Android in Windows 10. Nothing to install apks directly, which has presented Microsoft are several tools that enable developers to port their applications to Android iOS and Windows 10.

The operating mechanism is simply reuse of source code, the same concept that Windows uses to run your applications on different types of devices. IOS applications written in Objective C can be opened in Visual Studio , the Microsoft development software and from there may be edited, add them native Windows features and ready to run on Microsoft devices.

To adapt Android applications on Windows the process is somewhat different. Windows 10 includes part of the Android API, ie, it will take a kind of library that will serve Windows to interpret the language that uses Android. However, we must make minor changes to the application by developers before the Android application in Windows feasible. In this adaptation process, as you would expect we can also add to their own Windows functions applications that Android does not support, such as enforcement through Cortana.

All this is already a reality in fact Candy Crush Saga for Windows has been ported from iOS reusing code and making only minor changes.

If Microsoft plans work and encourage developers soon We can have hundreds of applications iOS and Android in Windows, which will undoubtedly increase the market share of Redmond.

Microsoft, Google and the dream of a PC on any screen – lanacion.com (Argentina)



A phone with Windows 10 gives life aa desktop PC version of this system Operating in the Microsoft presentation yesterday. Photo: AP

Yesterday, at the first conference of its annual meeting to developers (BUILD 2015) Microsoft elaborated on Continuum, a feature that debuts in Windows 10 and had mentioned before, and which would transform some future smartphones in conventional computers.

The initial concept of Continuum is to enable a smooth transition between the two modes using Windows (oriented touch screens, and the traditional desktop, keyboard and mouse); Continuum is what determines if the user desired mode of interaction what application or view should be privileged. In Microsoft Windows 10 bet for universal applications (the same program for a desktop PC, a tablet or a phone) and this opens the way for what we announced yesterday some future smartphones running Windows 10 phone can, when connected via HDMI to TV or monitor, and a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, function as a PC, transforming its interface to take advantage of the larger display.

Sound familiar? Yes, because it is not a new concept, although it has the potential for greater adoption. Palm, among others, was about to present Foleo in 2007, a notebook keyboard and screen simile taking information from smartphone to run. And Motorola advanced enough in this regard with its Atrix webtop mode in 2011: the smartphone gave life to a keyboard and a screen, and changed its graphical interface to a standard Linux Android, allowing applications to run Android as windows in this desktop.

Motorola experimented with Atrix smartphone and desktop mode using the phone as motor. Photo: THE NATION

Ubuntu also promised something similar for the latest versions of your Linux distribution; although he reached the first smartphones, this dual mode is not available.

With a more modest proposal, the PadFone Asus line takes several years offering a screen with a special slot for your smartphone that becomes a tablet and a notebook with a detachable keyboard

The bet here is similar:. carry a smartphone in your pocket to function as such, and to get to work, to connect to a foundation that will enable a keyboard, a monitor and the mode of interaction of Windows 10 PC, such as we saw yesterday in the demo. For the user it is transparent (beyond that will not serve for any task because the mobile chip can not compete with Core i7). Once work is completed, the phone and ready is taken.

Although Microsoft said that not just any smartphone can do (for now, the idea is that both screens, the phone and the monitor can be used at the same time), we’re not talking about needing a huge hardware: today smartphones with 4 GB of RAM, as the Asus Zenfone 2 and processors for powerful mobile (including Intel Atom, which provide compatibility with traditional applications Windows). Not to mention that most of the screens “desktop” we use today has a resolution equal to or less than that of a high-end smartphone.



The Chromestick transforms any screen into a computer with Chrome OS. Photo: File

Part of the promise of this mode of use that enables Windows 10 is to bring the information and applications in the pocket, and transform any screen into a computer available complete; . is there a money saver, more management devices, etc.

At the same time, concepts like Chromebit of Google poses a similar option: a flash drive for $ 99 with the hardware of a smartphone, use Chrome OS, the operating system Google betting on the Internet as a data repository, and initially dispensed applications but now adds up the Android.

And, as the concept of Microsoft, bet to transform any television or a computer monitor, and make more diffuse frontiers between a phone, a tablet, 2-in-1 and a conventional computer. .

Discover a bat-winged dinosaur – People’s Daily Online

Spanish & gt; & gt; Science-Technology

UPDATED: 04/30/2015 – 9:12

Keywords: Dinosaur

Source: Agencies

Beijing, 30/04/2015 (The People’s Daily Online) – They just found in China a dinosaur the size of a dove, with feathers and wings membrane. It has been called Yi qi. Most striking is that it presents an element of the skeleton so far never seen in other dinosaurs and could shed some light on the family tree of birds. This is a wrist structure reminiscent of living bats and could be involved in the flight.

This new feathered species was found in Hebei Province, in northeast China, in sediments dating back 160 million years ago. It belongs to a group of small carnivorous theropod dinosaurs manirraptores, winged and small size, of which little is known: the escansoriopterígidos. In fact, only three specimens have been found of this species and are incomplete.

Microsoft opens Windows 10 for Apple and Android applications – El Nuevo Herald

Microsoft is hoping that more people use the next version of its Windows system in all types of devices, giving them greater access to the same applications they already use on Apple and Android phones.

In a radical change of strategy, a top executive said Wednesday to an audience of several thousand software developers that Microsoft will launch new tools to help them quickly adapt applications built for Apple and Android devices so they can function in smartphones, PCs and other devices with the Windows 10 operating system, to be launched in the coming months.

On the first day of the annual conference of software company, other executives showed more uses for holographic lens of “augmented reality” of Microsoft, the HoloLens, although no go on sale. They also announced the official name of the new web browser, called “Edge”, which promised to be faster and useful Internet Explorer, which had been a feature of Microsoft for 20 years.

All these initiatives are linked the imminent launch of Windows 10, the core of an ambitious plan to regain the stature Microsoft possessed when PC with Windows dominated the world of computing. Today, after losing ground to smartphones and tablets that run software from rivals Apple and Google, Microsoft wants Windows 10 is the universal software for computers, phones and other devices with internet access.

“Windows 10 represents a new generation of Windows, built in an era of personal computing,” he said Satya Nadella CEO, during his opening speech, noting that today’s consumers and corporate workers want to have the same experience when using various devices.

Although Microsoft had previously shown some of the new features of Windows 10, hopes to enlist an army of developers as allies in their campaign to build excitement before launch. The company uses a three-day conference called “Build” to show more characteristics of tools to build tools, with emphasis on mobile devices as well as desktop computers.

Scientists uncover “bat” dinosaur in China – Terra Colombia

A new type of dinosaur from the Jurassic period dubbed “Yi Qui” and whose wings were not made of feathers but fur, has been discovered in northwest China, according to the magazine published Wednesday Nature .

The newcomer to the big family of dinosaurs was discovered in the Chinese province of Hebei and its name, “Yi Qui” means “strange wing” in Mandarin, as scientists They consider that “would have moved through the air using membranes similar to those of flying squirrels”

Xu Xing and Corwin Sullivan, researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology, University of Linyi in Shandong, reported the discovery of this new type of dinosaur that, besides protoplumas-, had a similar membrane and fingers to Current bats.

This does not mean it is an ancestor of bats, explains Xu Xing, as the family of these animals has been associated more with birds like Archaeopteryx.

“While it appears that had many feathers, they were like filaments and could not have been useful to fly,” says the researcher.

China: Discovery of a small dinosaur with bat wings – Daily Mail


 It’s called Yi qi . It is the size of a pigeon and bat wings: this strange dinosaur discovered in China was a surprise for paleontologists , who regard it as an unfinished process of evolutionary experimentation

.
 Yi Qi seems to have featherless wings but with a membrane that allowed them to move in the air , a little like bats or flying squirrels, according to a study released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

 “We do not know if Yi qi flapping or planned, or did both but certainly developed a unique type of wings in the context of the transition from dinosaurs to birds,” said Xu Xing of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology Beijing.

 Yi qi, meaning “strange wing” in Mandarin, lived about 160 million years ago.

 

 It belongs to the family of the scansoriopterígidos, small feathered dinosaurs that lived in the Middle and Late Jurassic. They endowed with long fingers, were certainly able to climb trees. Its fossils were found only in China.

 The part scansoriopterígidos turn theropods, bipedal dinosaurs , generally carnivores, as the ancestor of birds or the famous Tyrannosaurus.

 Yi qi (pronounced i-chi) was discovered by a farmer in Hebei Province , near Beijing. Probably weighed about 380 grams, he estimated the team of paleontologists. Had teeth and was definitely omnivorous.

 They found traces of feathers with the skeleton, but these were too narrow and shaped filament to allow it to fly in the air.

 Had a strange bone appendage slightly bent 13 cm wide cuffs , and three articulated fingers.

 There are mammals such as bats or flying squirrels that have the same appendix with the function of holding an aerodynamic membrane. In the case of Yi qi, it is very rudimentary and “could represent an odd evolutionary experience which ultimately failed,” say the paleontologists. Yi qi “was not a champion when it comes to flying,” they conclude.

Ship out of control could fall on Earth next week – The Universal


  The Russian space freighter Progress M-27M hurtles toward Earth without knowing exactly when or where his remains will fall in a painful setback for the industry Russian aerospace.
 


 


 “Forecasting the exact date and place will fall fragments of Progress that will not disintegrate in the dense layers of the atmosphere will be possible only a few hours before that happens,” the official news agency said today Russian RIA Novosti source in the aerospace sector.
 


 


 The same source added that the rate of decline will depend on the state of the atmosphere and the solar wind, but stressed that “in the last 24 hours the cargo ship has already lost tens of meters.”
 


 


 The Progress craft, used for 35 years, is one of the great pride of the Russian aerospace industry, with an almost immaculate record: hitherto been a single accident in August 2011, caused by a failure of the carrier rocket .
 


 


 The Control Center of Space Flight (CCVE) of Russia lost control of the freighter, launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Kazakhstan) at 0710 GMT yesterday, after it will be located in the wrong orbit and stopped sending data Earth because all antennas are not deployed.
 


 


 All attempts to regain control of automatic ship, which was carrying to the International Space Station (ISS) about 2.5 tons of supplies-fuel, oxygen, food, scientists- teams have so far been unsuccessful.
 


 


 “In the course of some additional tests (…) it has detected a lack of secrecy in the main ducts of the propulsion system, making it impossible for the freighter continue its flight and docking to the ISS safe way” said Igor Komarov, director of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency.
 


 


 The CCVE said it will continue trying to establish communication with the Progress enabling give orders as to achieve could be controlled to some extent fall.
 


 


 This could occur next week, between the 5 and May 7 , according to the Energia corporation, manufacturer of the cargo.
 


 


 The chief flight program the Russian segment of the ISS, Vladimir Solovyov, said the experience of previous collapses of the Progress ships in the Pacific Ocean show that the elements of the freighter not reach the surface of the Earth.
 


 


 “As a rule, they burn in the dense layers of the atmosphere, about 60 kilometers altitude,” said Solovyov, told a news conference.
 


 


 The number two of Roscosmos, Alexander Ivanov, said that the fault “is probably related to the separation of carrier rocket ship”, but stressed that it will take the results of the investigation to determine its cause.
 


 


 The Russian aerospace officials agree that the loss of Progress does not affect the current crew of the ISS: Anton Shkaplerov Russian Gennady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko, Samantha Cristoforetti Italian and American Scott Kelly and Terry Virts.
 


 


 “We have made an inventory of what’s on board (ISS) and I can say that there are sufficient reserves of all, oxygen, water, fuel,” Solovyov said, adding that should suffice until the arrival of the next cargo ship, scheduled for on 6 August.
 


 


 However, it is likely that the Russian space agency forward the launch of the Progress M-28M, which is already in Baikonur, which could take place no later than June, because it requires at least a little more one month for preparation of the ship.
 


 


 The family of Progress was born to supply the Soviet manned space station Salyut 6, the first for long-duration missions, into orbit in 1979.
 


 


 Every year, Russia sends three to four freighters carrying supplies for the International Space Station, a project involving 16 countries and has an estimated 100 billion dollar cost.
 


 


 The platform, with crew on board continuously since 2000, has a mass of about 450 tons and orbits at a distance of between 335 and 460 kilometers above the Earth at a speed of about 27 thousand kilometers per hour.
