Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and one of the biggest living philanthropists asked the world leaders to make vaccines’ research a priority in order to “ save 10 million lives" before 2020
An electric stimulation on the spinal cord permits to Mr Summers to stay up on his legs and walk on a tapis roulant for a few minutes after 5 years.
This new experimental treatment has been done in USA and is going to give a real hope to any person that, like Mr Summers, have lost the capability to move their body.
A German study revealed today that most of the phones and tablets using Android as an operating system are not secure.
IT specialists of the University of ULM in Germany have demonstrated that the incredible amount of 99,7%(!!) of these terminals present a fault in security. Moreover, the breach is caused by Google itself and doesn’t come from another application.
This negligence allows malicious people to access any kind of data but the ones of Gmail apparently. It means that someone can have access to Google servers and modify them. The diary, the contacts, the text messages and photo albums can also be seen by someone else.
So if you are using a phone or a tablet using Android as an operating system, you should clearly think about checking for any update and install them. All the versions older than a month are subject to be affected.
Until the problem is not entirely solved by Google, it is also suggested to Android users to deactivate their automatic connection to WI-FI networks.
After Facebook and Apple, Google also seems to have problems dealing with private information and data.
Is it still possible to imagine our information as being private? We seriously doubt so..
This video shows us a "possible overview" of how a normal day could be in our next future,
It's amazing to see how the people think and dream and actually apply themselves on the realization of their views.
After having watched this video and actually believe that something like that will take place in the future I think our generation is completely different from the past ones.
We are living in a "kind of present" that it's already a future because we strictly believe in new technology coming out and after a day is already a remote past!
I was thinking about the complete different approach to the technology we have in comparison with our parents for example.
Our parents that watched not so far ago the first man on the moon, but they were skeptical about mobile phones or Internet or flying cars or iPhone...
Our parents that watching star treck were thinking without any doubt that it was just pure imagination, something incredible, something just for movies, something that couldn't have been taken in consideration if talking about future applied technology but then, we are going to Mars..
And us? Aren't we a generation of dreamers? I think the internet revolution has been one of the biggest revolution of the entire history, I am not talking about business but idea.
Internet lets people talk, communicate, share and develop easily and faster.
Any people nowadays is allowed to dream and actually find a solution to realize an idea!
This is the power of our generation!
The American presidency office has announced yesterday that the White House is ready to reveal this week its propositions regarding the international cooperation in the cyberspace.
The document, which will be revealed today, is entitled " US International Strategy for Cyberspace" and has been long-waited by the International Community.
It is the "first political document of this kind showing our global vision on the future of the international cooperation concerning the cyberspace", has explained the White House in a statement.
The idea of the document is to show how America wants to emphasize several "partnerships with other countries and other people to insure prosperity, security and the openness the United States are looking for in a more and more interconnected world".
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who made the freedom on the Internet one of her priorities, will talk about this this week. Mrs Clinton's points will discuss the potential role of the cyberspace into defending American interests.
The speech will also talk about the importance of having an international cooperation that will put the cyberspace at the centre of attentions in foreign policy discussions.
Obama’s administration said that the President will attend the event with his special adviser for the antiterrorism, Mr John Brennan. The Minister of Justice Eric Holder and the Minister of Internal Security, Mrs Janet Napolitano will also be attending.
This announcement intervened just after the presentation by the White House of the main parts of a project that aims to strengthen the power the administration and the private sector have against cyber attacks. The White House plans to ask the main actors of the energy, transport and financial sectors to work out how to improve the security on their networks.
The US seem to be determined to move fast. Once again Europe and the others have to decide if they just want to follow or if they want to be a proposal force..
In a few months Apple will launch the new iPhone 5. Already a lot of rumours are going on the web, but how is it going to be?
This fantastic product is being developed really quickly and in a way we can say that its development is beating the normal “consumerist timing”.
Indeed, the technology is getting easier and faster almost everyday; and people are now submerged by new information, product and trends.
The problem comes out if you want to keep yourself updated on every single new development. Today, it is getting almost impossible to do so.
In two years, already three different types of iPhone, two different types of iPad have been released plus plenty of updates. For a normal middle-class consumer, it is getting very hard to follow buying the latest product almost every three months.
One day, Bill Gates said that if Microsoft was developing cars we would nowadays drive for a 100 km with a litre of petrol and we could buy a car for 10$.
If we accept this assumption we should get an iPhone for one penny or maximum 2. We would have then the possibility to have the latest product every time we would like to!
Going back to the iPhone, hopefully it will be thinner, lighter and with a better camera but this is the least Apple could do..
What do we really want to see included in the iPhone 5? Do we really need a new product or do we just need another update?
By buying it, are we satisfying a real need or are we feeding our “thirst to appear”?
Your call.. THE iPHONE5 OR YOUR OLD ONE WITH UPDATES?
