cyber war

United Nations (UN) calls upon all countries in the world to make an agreement on cooperation to prevent cyber war.

This was expressed general secretary of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Hamadoun Toure at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which took place 27-31 January 2010. Thus was launched AsiaOne, Tuesday (2/2/2010).

“Cyber war can be more dangerous than the tsunami, just look what happened to the attacks in Estonia, a year ago,” said Toure.

Toure added, the agreement can be made such as Like a peace treaty that made the countries before the war.

Every nation, continued Toure must ensure every citizen to access information and dispel any cyber terrorist attacks. “They must promise not to attack each other with each other,” he said.

Meanwhile, Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie said that Microsoft, at least 10 major countries in the world enough to attack other countries considering network kkemampuan a very large Internet.

“The dominance of the Internet is very large and can be controlled by evil people out there,” he said.

ipad

Finally fulfilled “the latest creation” Apple has become gossip in recent months. Tablets that make many people wonder iPad was officially called.

According to the specified time, Wednesday, January 27 night, CEO Steve Jobs introduced the iPad directly in front of invited guests. According to Jobs, iPad is a third generation for a different computing with laptops and smart phones.

As quoted by Engadget, Thursday (27/1/2010), according to Jobs iPad has function keys with various applications, which is useful as a tool of social networking, gaming, digital books and many more. As a new product, eventually all the SDK (Software Development Kit) new iPhone will be compatible too iPad.

As a multimedia tool, appears to be more iPad functioned as eBooks. The fact that producers simultaneously introduced the application for the name iPad iBook, and iBook establish Store.

The presence of this iBook store is woven together five publishers that will make a book to sell at the new online store. iBook itself already supports Epub

youtube

YouTube, a Google subsidiary, said it plans to introduce a paid movie service can be enjoyed starting Friday (22 / 1) tomorrow. Also announced, the video file sharing site is partnered with the Sundance Film Festival to release five films that can be rented.

Films that are leased 2009-2010 film festivals, among them Bass Ackwards, The Cove, One Too Many Mornings, Homewrecker, and the Children of Invention. The films will be available until January 31, 2010. Such as reported by CNN, Wednesday (20 / 1).

YouTube has also invited its partners, independent film makers to participate in this new service. This service allows you to select a movie at a price that has been available and for how much longer you rent. Plans, YouTube will also offer rentals for television distribution, including Apple TV, Boxee, Wii and PS3

insect eye for camera

The ability of insects that can see the nocturnal or in darkness at night, inspiring professor Eric Warrant of Lund University in Sweden to collaborate with automakers Toyota developed a special camera for the night.

This collaborative project aims to develop a new type color camera that would help motorists drive more safely at night.

Several years ago, when Toyota wanted a new way of developing a special security features on their cars, they began an investigation in the field of bio-mimetic or bio-inspiration. The second term refers to the development and manufacturing technology solutions to make the nature and living things as an example to emulate. Toyota then contacted Warrant to learn more about his research that reveals the nature of insects that are nocturnal active.

“For example, there are many things that can be learned from beetles that live in cow dung, which are nocturnal active,” said Warrant, as quoted by Science Daily, Tuesday (19/1/2010).

For 25 years, Warrant and his team at the Department of Biology, Lund University research study focused on the sight of insects, especially the ability to see in the dark.

The study of living things such Warrant is beetles, bees and moths. These three types of these insects have the ability to see the nocturnal. After investigation, beetles, bees and moths have eyes with lenses coated simultaneously working to create a single image in the eyes of animals.

Cells sensitive to light in the retina of their eyes have the capacity to exploit the light, even when in the dark or the light is very weak supply. When night fell, the sensitive cells begin to work together and create a flexible retinal function.

In addition to Warrant, mathematician from Lund University Henrik Malm help change the ability of insects that great vision into a mathematical algorithm. This algorithm forms the basis for creating a digital image for all types of cameras used in the dark or at night.

“The algorithm that we have found a method to imitate insect eyes in improving visual perception in the dim light,” said Malm.

Night-vision cameras that mimic the insect’s eyes are now on trial by Toyota to be immediately applied to production cars Toyota

faster download

Akamai Web monitoring firm released the results of research on cities that have the fastest broadband Internet access throughout the world.

Sandy is a city in Utah, United States, which was considered as a city that has the fastest access speed broadband connections in the world with an average bandwidth of 33.4 megabits per second (Mbps).

Later in the Israeli city of Beersheva with the speed of 25.1 Mbps, was named the city with the second highest internet speed.

Predicate city with the third fastest internet fell in continental Europe, precisely in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland, with a speed of 24.7 Mbps.

As for the country category, South Korea at the top with access speeds average 14.6 Mbps each city.

Row behind him is Japan with 7.9 Mbps, Hong Kong 7.6 Mbps, 6.2 Mbps Romania, Sweden and Ireland 5.7 Mbps 5.3 Mbps speeds.

blognavi quotes from WebUser, Friday (14/1/2010), the average velocity
the global Internet research by Akamai is 1.7 Mbps. Unfortunately, Indonesia does not mention how many there are in the position.
