The Google rents airbase of NASA

In order to extend the exploration of space and robotics, Google will pay to NASA 1,6 bn. Dollars to hire a historic airbase near the company's headquarters in Silicon Valley.

Management of Federal Airport "Mofet ', an area of four million acres on the peninsula of San Francisco, passed on 60 years in Planetary Ventures, a mysterious company owned by Google.

Little is known about its activities, although according to some reports, the company is active in the real estate market.

Google has not revealed how it intends to use the facility, but according to NASA, the space will be used for "research, development, assembly and testing in the areas of space exploration, aviation, robotics and other emerging technologies.

The two founders of Google, Larry Paige and Sergey Brin, are known to be concerned about issues of aviation and Space Administration, and recently acquired companies were robotic and satellite technology.

Under the agreement, the Planetary Ventures will take to restore the "Hangar One" of the airport, a giant structure that dates back to 1933 and has been declared a historic and listed. A total of $ 200 million will go towards the restoration of Hangar One and two other similar structures.

The Federal Airport "Mofet" was used by the US Navy before going to the Ames Research Center of NASA.

Already used for landing private aircraft carrying top executives of Google.

Rosetta: Historic Landing on The Comet Chasing for 10 Years

Around 18:00 GMT, and after 10 years journey connected with the spacecraft Rosetta, Phileas (Philae), a small spacecraft designed to land on the comet 67P, he carried out his mission successfully.

The weight 113 kg lander Philae succeeded smoothly in length 4 km comet, and then sent a signal back to Earth, which confirmed the success of the mission.

The Philae

The mission began 10 years ago with the launch of Rosetta Philae who brought a smaller spaceship. A few hours ago, Philae, which is the size of a washing machine, disconnected from Rosetta and began to fall to the comet. The fall lasted about 7 hours and the Philae lander managed to smoothly. Although part of the landing was selected to be as smooth as possible, it was not certain that the Philae would be able to land smoothly.

The Director General of ESA, the Jean-Jacques Dordain, said "We all learned that the Philae landed. This is a big step for mankind. This is the earthly intelligence that makes the difference. "

The special hooks that were designed to be thrown to the ground during the landing was not used for this reason we do not know if the Philae managed to remain in the party landed. Scientists working on how to shoot the hooks to make sure the position of Philae. According to the pressure received by the Philae landing wheels touched the surface and the landing was smooth.

No spacecraft has landed on the comet, although the Nasa with Deep Impact, 2005 sent a mini spaceship to collide with a comet to see what ingredients consisted of.

The Journey of 10 Years

After the launch of Rosetta in 2004, the spacecraft used 3 times Earth's gravity as a slingshot to accelerate the speed needed to reach the comet. The Rosetta spacecraft using solar panels to have energy for electronic systems, but when he arrived at the most distant point from the sun, where he arrived only 3% of the light that reaches the Earth, should be put in a form and performing Sleep only basic functions. In January 2014 the Rosetta «awakened" successfully in August reached the 67P.

Comets Are The Primary Elements Which Formed Our Solar System

Comets are very important goals as large frozen pieces are left over from the creation of the planets 4.6 billion years ago. Comets are thought to have maintained the primary elements which created our solar system, says Jean-Pierre Bibring, a scientist who works with the Philae.

The complex molecules are considered to be the original pieces which created life may still exist on the 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The Philae has about 60 hours to do all the experiments using 10 institutions before its batteries run out. If Philae is perhaps the shadow has the possibility to charge the batteries with solar panels has.

The Rosetta has already amassed valuable information, as no one ever had followed a comet for so long. Already know how to smelt the environment of the comet from the chemical elements which has acknowledged. The scent would smell if anyone was on the comet would be quite uncomfortable as like rotten eggs or horse urine. Also as the temperature rises as the comet approaches the sun seen firing more water from its surface.

The Rosetta costing 1.4 billion euros, and will continue to accompany the comet for some time. The mission will end in December 2015 when it passed to the closest point to the sun.

Sweetie: The avatars that "captures" pedophiles on the Internet

"My name is Sweetie (cute). I am 10 years old and I live in the Philippines. Every day I sit in front of the camera on my computer and talking with men: 10, sometimes 100 per hour. Asking me to take my clothes off. And they undress. "

It is a confession that undoubtedly shock. Fortunately, however, Sweetie is a ten year old girl, allegedly advised when interlocutors.

This is an avatar (SS so called graphical representation of a human) or, more simply, a software that pretends to be a minor.

Its purpose is to "fish" pedophiles who try to satisfy their appetites, thinking that they are dealing with real children (as unfortunately happens often).

"What we do not know is that I'm not real. I'm a computer system that has been built specifically to identify people who do these acts, "said Sweetie.

The "Sweetness" was born in the laboratories of the Dutch NGO Terre des Hommes. So today is "converse" with thousands of men from around the world who seek to engage in sexual acts in front of the webcam, thinking they are real.

Until now, these people remain unpunished. On Tuesday, however, an Australian became the world's first pedophile sentenced for acts made ​​against not a real man, but a ... avatar.

His name is Robert Scott Hansen is 38 years. Brisbane's Court sentenced him to two years imprisonment, judging the guilty on charges related to child sexual abuse.

"Hey, are you really nine years?" Asked the Sweetie Hansen at the beginning of the dialogue. When he got hit, wasted no time: "I like Asian chicks. Are you "inside" for some action?  Have you ever seen a man naked. He said to a ten year old girl "I am naked.

According to the judge, no matter if it was a real child, or computer software. What matters is that the actor thought he had to do with a minor in the Philippines.

The Sweetie goes into chatrooms and "fishes" pedophiles who surf the Internet to reach out to young children.

In just 10 weeks approximately 200,000 men from 71 countries came into contact with her. According to its creators, most of these people are "above suspicion": a family and children, a good job and a high income and education levels.

In the case of Hansen's organization Terre des Hommes recorded all the "talks" with his Sweetie, as well as the movements of the front of the camera and delivered the material to the Australian police.

The action started Sweetie in a campaign to end the so-called "tourism of webcam» (men surf the internet and pay children from developing countries to perform sexual acts on camera).

appeals

Some, however, do not agree with this practice. The Terry Gorman, president of the Australian Council of Civil Liberties, said the use of such avatars of private organizations is "far-fetched" and equivalent to continuous policing.

Last year, British police warned that these "hunters" often destroy the lives of innocent people - some of whom are driven to suicide - and prevent the identification of the actual culprits.

Microsoft changes in domain addresses and Nokia websites

The final movement of the domain adresses Microsoft have launched services Nokia, starting with the Nokia UK. «Nokia devices and services have moved to a new website» is the message you receive those who visit the page, which encourages them to follow a new link, which leads naturally to the website of Microsoft. 

It is natural to move to follow all company websites around the world, and a -like all deichnoun- Microsoft does not want the name «Nokia» in the smartphones. We are not talking about but "unexpected" evolution, since it was already known the intentions of Americans, from the commitment of the company brandnames (Lumia, Asha etc). Together, however, the 'mythical' name is lost as we saw a few days ago and the name «Windows Phone», which will take place the name Windows. 

Naturally expect more developments around the movements of Microsoft, but which leave the intense bitterness everywhere Nokia fans.

Printable solar stick everywhere - Two cells per second

Printable solar panels that will soon be marketed developed by a consortium set up by Australia's Agency for Scientific and Industrial Research of the Commonwealth (CSIRO) together with the University of Melbourne and Panepistimio Monash. 

The technology relies on the use of a special "solar ink" that can be printed on a plastic film (film) with conventional printers, similar to those used for banknotes. 

The research team behind the printable solar intended for use on any surface that would accept plastic: bags of metaforasforiton electrical computers to skyscrapers. 

The best part is that the printing speed is such that it takes more than two seconds to print a solar cell. 

The Organic Solar Cell Consortium of Victoria in Australia working in printable photovoltaics since 2007 Scientists involved in the project have developed several processes including spray coating, reverse gravure, coating by placing the paint in specific slots (slot -dye coating) and screen printing. 

Plus using semiconducting ink, researchers can print solar cells directly into flexible sheets (sheet thickness) of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the same type of plastic used for bottled water and soft drinks. 

The cells can also be printed in steel or become semi-transparent for use on windows and facades. 

Initially built in coin-sized cells, but in a short time built into cell surface paper A3. Currently printing speed has reached ten meters per minute, which translates to a solar cell per second. 

The big downside of technology is as will be anamenotan- that achieved a 10% efficiency of this cell silicon. 

However, scientists aim to close the gap factor higher efficiency solar inks. The lifespan of the cells was only six months with a target of ten years. 

Comparing printable plastic solar panels with conventional silicon technology, Fiona Scholes by CSIRO notes that while declining price of silicon, plastic is even cheaper, while the cost of cartridges is negligible. 

"This is an important step forward because you can put those cells where you want. It is also more "consistent" than silicon, and operate in conditions of clouding. "

The huge range of applications of the technology has already attracted many companies prospecting the potential for commercial exploitation. Although, the printer used costs around 150,000 Euros, the economies of scale of commercial production is expected to make the cells very affordable.

TrueNorth Computers come with Brain Synapses

TrueNorth: The IBM recently unveiled what it calls the first nefrosynaptiko computer chip in the world, a processor that mimics the capabilities of the human brain and energy efficiency. 

The chip of IBM is known as TrueNorth, and could strengthen the forces of a supercomputer with a microprocessor th the size of a postage stamp. Instead of solving problems through brute-force mathematical calculations, as do today's processors, designed to understand the environment, to clarify the ambiguity, and take action in real-time animation in this context. 

A computer "dresses» TrueNorth is configured as the human brain. The chip TrueNorth incorporates 5.4 billion transistors, most of which has never been used in an IBM chip. It also features programmable one million neurons and 256 million programmable synapses. Of course the numbers are much lower than the 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion to 150 trillion synapses are beginning to be rather several. The chip is the core element of cognitive computer programs of IBM, known as Synapse. 

It is still under investigation, and the announcement says the second generation design. The IBM released the first generation a year ago. While still in prototype stage, could after two or three years to have our first commercial use. Experts believe that an innovation like the TrueNorth Synapse could help to overcome the performance limits of architecture von Neumann, the mathematical system kernel based almost every computer that was built from 1948 onwards. 

The new technique does not rely on the von Neumann architecture could one day give us devices that understand the world through sight, smell, hearing, just understand him and feel a man. 

The IBM plans to make the TrueNorth - along with a new custom programming language - first in universities and later to business customers. 

Imagine what risks can hide such a project. 

Future computers surpass humans in intelligence, has already been the subject of films Hollywood. Trying to create computers that think and feel the same way you think a human brain, we could expect autonomous vehicles working in warehouses, or robots to ensure security at home or in the city. 

The project is one of the most important of IBM, which spends $ 6 billion a year on research. In 2011, the supercomputer Watson beat the best players of «Jeopardy», an impressive display of computing power. 

But imagine that Watson is the most powerful engine made ​​the architecture of von Neumann. Requires more electricity than any home and technology ... considered outdated.

The Gmail Adds New Filters for the Control of Spam

In an ongoing effort to stop spammers, Google began to reject messages service Gmail, which include "very limited" character combinations. 

The Google began using a new tool that aims to prevent e-mails of spammers to arrive in the inbox of the users of Gmail. The company announced Tuesday that it is adding new filters spam in email platform in an attempt to stop receiving deceptive or phishing messages. 

The filters involved searching e-mail using Unicode Consortium which could let spammers to trick users. Most companies, applications and websites using Unicode, so characters to work on all platforms. However, some characters look almost identical, as the Latin and Cyrillic 

"Fraudsters can exploit the fact that the 0, and the look almost identical to the letter o, and by mixing the match, they can deceive regular peoples" publish by anti Spam Google. 

Remains to be seen whether the new filtering company will be operating and leading spam tab spam. 

It should be remembered, and to admit that the Gmail service currently has the best spam protection on the internet.

Google Search: Discovered Evidence of Device Cross-Share Function with Push Bullet

After Google last week, version 3.6.13 of the search app for Android has released, the guys from Android Police have looked at in more detail the application and made an interesting discovery: Apparently Google is working on a competition for Push Bullet. With the new feature, for example, text should be easy to send as a notification from the computer onto the phone. 

Tastes are obviously differ, in terms of apps. Push Bullet however, is without doubt one of the small number of must-have apps. The application adds Android and Chrome so many useful features that many observers speculated on a takeover startup with Google for quite some time. That this has not yet happened, could possibly have a good reason: Google apparently working on its own solution à la Push Bullet. 

The evidence can be found, as so often, buried deep in the assets of already available applications. In version 3.6.13 of Google Search, which was released last week, can find four interesting snippet: 

<string name = "phonelink_note_sent_from_computer"> Sent from PC. </ string> 

<string name = "phonelink_note_save"> Save </ string> 

<string name = "phonelink_note_copy"> Copy </ string> 

<string name = "phonelink_note_copied"> Text copied </ string> 

A brief statement on this: In the future, therefore it should be possible to send text directly from the computer to the smartphone. Achieved the notification the mobile companion, the user is informed about their origin and then has the opportunity to copy the text to the or to save. While saving the text user can chose which app he wants to use this, then. To visually represent the better, Android Police has taken the assets and created from it a sample app. 

A sent from computer text wanders in form of a normal notification on your smartphone and can be copied or saved to the clipboard: 

bullet push-compete-for-app 

If you want to save the text, you get a choice between several compatible applications: 

bullet push-compete-for-app-2 push bullet-competitor-related-memo app 

Much to Google's Push Bullet alternative is currently still in the dark: If you just about can send text or links, images and other files? It remains only for text, Bullet Push Google solution is still miles ahead. How will Google implement the function on the PC? Here, of course, Chrome would offer integrated either as an extension or directly in the browser.

Interestingly, the feature also fits the new "Warp" function, which has made headlines at the weekend and the one probably soon among other YouTube videos with other smart phones in the vicinity will be able to share - even without an Internet connection. New possibilities for sharing content and data currently appear to be on Google's own to-do list probably at the top. 

What do you say? Would you an integrated solution within Androids / Chrome prefer? Or do you prefer to stay at Push Bullet?
