BlackBerry London, the ‘supermóvil’ RIM to restore confidence
A ‘supermóvil’ well known blog has called CrackBerry, which always has reliable information on everything happening at RIM. And is that the terminal filter may well come into that category of powerful phones on muscle. It seems that Canadians want to end these uncertain times and settle all kinds of rumors doing what they do best: making phones. The present one has been baptized in the key as London, and attentive to the data, in part because RIM break with conventional straight design that we have used to date, showing a much more stylized terminal, but above all, adapted to design the market now demands.
The new London embraces curves and considerably thinner chassis, approaching the terminal postulates that the market will face as the next generation of iPhone, Nokia Lumia or Samsung Galaxy. It seems that this is going to be a conventional launch and want to leave Waterloo clear: “London is going to change the rules of the game,” he announced.
Then comes the summer
No one has transcended this transgressive BlackBerry data but what is and is confirmed to be the first to introduce BlackBerry 10, the new platform that RIM is going to face the future. The news leaves a bittersweet taste because there are many fans of the brand they expected stronger action and a change of platform to get back to the manufacturer in positions of leadership in the smartphone market and above all, win the battle of the image, in which competitors are gaining ground him. 10 is a change BlackBerry interface and creating a new ecosystem for developers to program new applications must nurture it, and we know that now apps are everything.
Thorsten Heins, new CEO of the company, comes with the complex task of straightening a curve of constant falling sales and an overly broad product portfolio. He played simplify and the manufacturer has canceled two new smartphones that also enjoy the BlackBerry platform 10, and focusing on the London, betting everything on one card. Regarding the hardware, it is speculated that the terminal would enjoy a generous 1.5 GHz processor and 8-megapixel camera. It is very possible that he presented at the DevCon (Developer Conference) to be held next week in Amsterdam, marketing the device after the summer. However, this new terminal is confirmed, would be a breath of fresh air at least as regards the design of the hardware that will surely be well received by the market.
The top 10 key mobile technologies for 2012
What mobile and wireless technologies will be key for the next two years? Gartner identifies the ten that are most relevant to his trial for companies, employees and consumers.
The selection was made based on the influence of changing corporate strategies, the number of customers or employees who are expected to incorporate into their daily lives and its potential to help address the challenges that come up in of mobility for organizations throughout 2011.
These technologies are: versions 3 and 4 of Bluetooth to be launched next year. Version 3 improves the speed of 802.11, which we will provide streaming media, while version 4 will focus on saving energy necessary for use with external peripherals and sensors.
Browsing through smart phones on the Internet that have better screens than current mobile devices. Microsoft already working on improving your browser for the upcoming Windows Phone 7.
Mobile Widgets, which are based on technologies such as JavaScript and HTML, which will focus on making available to the user real-time content that can range from methodological information to the blog entries.
The tools allow the development of programs that can be installed in all types of phones, no matter which operating system used, in order that applications can be used on as many devices as possible.
The online store creation by companies and organizations that provide access to customers and employees to different types of applications.
Improved GPS location technology, available in three out of four mobile devices, which would allow further development of programs that take advantage of new features that this improvement would bring. A side effect will occur in the area of ??privacy, on which will increase the interest and concern.
The emergence of 4G, which will mean the ultimate accolade for mobile broadband and encourage the creation of new types of mobile devices.
The importance of touch screens, which the vast majority of smartphones and feature, and will be highly taken into account when developing new applications.
The progress will occur in the machine to machine communication (M2M), which will also allow the creation of new devices and programs in various areas such as distribution, security and smart grids.
Galaxy S III, the new ‘missile’ Samsung
If a manufacturer in the market that Apple is really worried, that certainly is Samsung. The Korean giant is the only one who has managed to stand up to the Cupertino on their own ground: the image. The Koreans beat the copper with the creators of the iPhone in acidic communication campaigns that put users of the iPhone as true zombies stupefied by the mark and without any discretion. The clash of titans has also been transferred to the judicial area where both manufacturers maintain their disputes concerning infringement of patents that Apple has temporarily halted sales of some of Samsung products in certain countries. But it is in the hardware market where both brands are really the play, and watch the latest move by Samsung: Galaxy S III, a ‘missile’ that will no doubt much to discuss.
Overwhelms with its performance
If you want a strong argument when deciding on a phone or other market, the benefits certainly play a major asset. They are not always the determining factor when deciding which one option, but in the present case, the matter takes on another perspective. Samsung has put all eggs in one basket and the Galaxy S III, if confirmed as real leaks that have sprung up in the network, would be a real killer.
The latest data we receive through the popular Twitter blogger Eldar Murtazin, and because of its reliability in this area, it is worth to be taken into account. We talked about a qualitative leap in the field of performance and give you an idea of ??the depth of it, stay with a couple of details: 12-megapixel camera and possibly a quad-core processor. An evil beast that holds true also other surprises.
The terminal would grow to exceed 4.5 inches, a size that it closer to the mammoth size of the Galaxy Note that lately has become a trend in the market. Why so big? A terminal screen of this size allows a better exploitation of the multimedia section smartphone and offers better performance in data entry, however, is dangerously close to the limit of what we can carry in your pocket without coming to disturb.
Apple has not yet taken the plunge and maintains the same dimensions on the iPhone, but sources now suggest that the iPhone 5 could grow as well. What seems already confirmed that the new Samsung creature hit the market with Ice Cream Sandwich expected, you know, the award-winning version of Android that Google intends to end the fragmentation. But yes, in the S III would like their predecessors, with a graphical user interface adapted.
The existence of this phone there is already taken, but where there seems to be agreement is in its filing date and launch. The market was assumed to be presented in Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress, with a view to subsequent sale summer. However, some rumors have emerged that suggest that Samsung would not this appointment and that the anticipated smartphone would be introduced “later” during 2012. Samsung has settled the debate by stating that they do not comment on rumors and to “the new product when ready”.
Note Galaxy, why end all in one?
Comes time to leave home. Keys, wallet, documents and phone. ¿I take the tablet? Do I carry a notebook? Depends if you want to go with more than one device. The newest Samsung device aims to be everything at once: notebook, reader, and mobile tablet. Note Galaxy Samsung joins the three basic objects in 180 grams. In the Anglo-Saxon world these are called hybrids or tabphone Phoneblet, or the fusion of tablet and phone. Long pursued a claim by the consumer, but never so far achieved.
It is the first phone with a generous screen, such as that of 5.3 inches, with resolution similar to a computer or a tablet of 10 inches, great for watching videos, photos or surf the Net In fact, is not the first phone in anything, not the pointer or the battery, or weight, novelty, and its difference with the rest, is that Samsung’s ambition to give the consumer a Notice integral unit, bringing together the best of each.
The Note is intended to both create and to consume content. Shoot 8-megapixel photos and record video to 1080 pixels. In both cases has the same definition as the iPhone 4S. This definition can be left short of 16 gigabytes of internal memory, but you can add another 32 via a microSD card.
The big news is on the bottom. There lies the stylus, dubbed S Pen. It serves both to take notes, like a pen with an application created for the purpose, as retouching photos and edit videos. Integration is such that S Choice, the app store designed to use the pointer has a shortcut on the main screen. For now there are only about 30 applications. As usual, the key will be the ability to win over developers. The Samsung is forecast to reach 400 in the first quarter.
Note native applications make it a good choice for executives who want to carry several devices at once, to see spreadsheets without having to move between screens or the full schedule at a glance. You can also win converts among creatives who want to take notes, do sketches and edit short videos without using a computer.
The advantage of being big is that the battery behaves much better than mobiles. If Apple promises 10 hours of autonomy for the iPad 2, Samsung talks about 13 hours of use on this unit. Twice that offered by high-end phones. Samsung underscores its commitment to this device with the future operating system upgrade. Born with Android 2.3 installed, but may be updated.
During the last consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, the Korean company was determined to promote the device every possible way: he was a sponsor of the event bus, adorned the walls of the enclosure and placed artists in the most emblematic of the Vegas willing to give away a caricature drawn with pencil on the phone.
The electronics specialist blog Engadget explains, after a few pictures released by the manufacturer, that future communications will support NFC (a possible payment protocol in the future) and LTE, the telephone system used in the United States.
The free price without the subsidy of operators, is 729 euros. Superior to most of the tablets or similar to the phone and tablet buy midrange. In summary, it can take everything in one, but be willing to spend.
Super Technology 2012
A plastic can turn raindrops into electricity.
Every time I find most amazing ways to get energy, but this is good, because all the alternatives are more environmentally friendly than the sources we use today, it is true that no definitive takes over fossil fuels, and I fear that rather than their effectiveness is by economic interests. The latter would take advantage of raindrops falling on a plastic panel for electricity. Behind this development is the Atomic Energy Commission of France (CEA).
The idea is transformed by a plastic panel polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) the impact of falling raindrops directly into electricity, using the vibration of this. PVDF is piezoelectric, ie is able to transform part of the vibrational energy into electrical energy.
So far, the evidence shows that energy can be few remote sensing and other electronic devices, but the researchers plan to store the power generated, so that they can provide a steady current for practical use.
Develop the ultimate machine for converting urine into drinking water
The astronauts living on the International Space Station will have a new technology that will allow them to receive a portion of its drinking water from the toilet.
NASA has spent decades perfecting a system to transform urine into water that can be used in space for drinking, food preparation and washing. The developers say the system water will be cleaner than U.S. tap water.
The Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to go to the station this fall. If all goes well, the “toilet-to-tap system” will be fully operational in six months.
Russia developed a similar system in the 1980s but never flew into space by the crew reticencnias says former station astronaut Leroy Chiao. Currently, and with this system mehjorada crew does not believe the object.
“You go (to the space station) as part of screening,” he says. “This is just something you have to endure, and that’s fine.” Quipped.
First bionic eye therapy to restore sight to blind
A team from Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, has applied for the first time a blind British patients a revolutionary treatment: therapy with an artificial eye. The eye is hooked to a camera mounted on glasses, returning a basic level of vision to individuals suffering from retinitis pigmentosa.
This “bionic eye” may be key to restoring sight to people left blind by a hereditary disease.
The artificial eye, known as Argus II is connected to a camera on a pair of glasses that transmits a wireless signal to an electronic receiver that is implanted in the eye. The researchers say the technique can restore a basic level of vision but it is still early to fully recover.
The test is intended to help people that have been made blind through retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases affecting the retina.
“The devices were implanted successfully in two patients and are recovering well from the operations,” the researchers wrote.
Create first interface to the brain neuro-robotic
Scientists at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) have just achieved a milestone when it comes to “science fiction” means, create the first robot that acts as a neural interface to the brain.
This is a device (pictured) to be implemented and has already been tested in primates. Their applications will be as important as extending the life of the brain prosthetics and provide them immense power amplification of signals and brain integration.
The operation is once implanted in the brain, arms ultra-microscopic sensors in it with the end of these, move on different areas of the brain’s surface picking up signals.
By tracking the brain, these sensors detect the patterns in which scientists are interested (areas involved in memory processing, speech, sight, etc.), and once recognized the pattern detected in what position is best captured signals. When you get an ideal location, the “nano-arms” seating position and begin the process of transmitting data to and from artificial devices and external to the brain.
Although not yet proven in humans, this is a breakthrough that would only be a few years ago comics futuristic product.
3D Printer
This 3D printer can print your projects and designs in plastic. It is ideal for designers, engineers, students and others. who want to see embodied in a tangible way their work.
It is the first model to see the difference in this case is that the company says the factory will be priced low enough to be affordable, so you may soon be normal to find objects created with this printer.

Web design based on WordPress. What is WordPress?
WordPress is a CMS (Content Manager System) and is currently the most widely used to manage web content to your site, without having to know or handle programming languages. Today WordPress is the platform used to create blog of all kinds, from personal websites, magazines, web, site events, business, entertainment, corporate, etc..
WordPress in its beginning was created by the need to build a personal publishing system, elegant, with good architecture, aesthetics, web standards and good ease of use. Today, this web tool that is distinguished by being dynamic is used by almost all web businesses leaving static HTML platforms if required knowledge of programming languages ??to modify the content of the website.
The main benefits of designing and developing websites with WordPress are:
- WordPress allows you to update content effectively and easily. Creating content is easy and upload photos or videos on any platform.
- Allows you to make comments and communication between visitors and web site administrator.
- Allows you to upload images and insert them or link them in posts (entries).
- You can categorize and classify the content.
But not everyone benefits. Some disadvantages are
- Sturdy and without personality as they use standard templates and themes in most of the websites.
- Upload speed slow if not taken into account that widgets and plugins are loaded and which pages they do.
- Generation of domestic waste a lot of content database that manages the system, not visible to the visitor, but may penalize the load time of the page.
- Stiffness in the development of custom functionality that you want to have our web site. Nose WordPress is that you can modify the code of your web site easily. You can add pre-made widgets, but you can change almost anything else.
- The updates often contain errors, not being 100% reliable, unless it is known in detail the compatibility of items.
My main obsession when designing and developing websites in WordPress is to offer my customers a custom design quality through a detailed knowledge of the structure of content management and PHP programming, as well as offer new features that may require each project.
Due to a deep knowledge of MySQL database managed by the system, their interrelationships, and the internal structure in PHP mostly we get a website optimized, both in speed of loading, such as indexing for compatibility Search engines like Google.
Responsive Panorama & web design: Web design multidevice
The concept Responsive Web was created by Ethan Marcotte in his article Responsive Web Design at A List Apart. It refers to the fact that now the users of a website can be accessed from different devices and therefore must be sensitive and adapt to them. In this way information is displayed differently depending on the device using the visitor, whether desktop, mobile smartphones or tablets (tablets iPhone and Android).
Mainly it should be noted that the grid of the page should be flexible, ie, you should consider a design that easily adapts to different screen widths. As an example we would spend a design that includes a fixed width of the column to a variable width in which a three-column layout would become a two-or depending on the size of the screen of the device from being accessed.
If our grid is flexible, content that is hosted in it too must be. In this regard we must take into account the width of images, video width and font size. The screen of a Smartphone has a higher density of pixels per inch, which effectively translates to a 12 pixel sees a smaller size on an iPhone than a desktop computer.
Be especially careful with the navigation elements on the page, the navigation should not be displayed in the same way the desktop version in the mobile version. The reason is, on one side and again, the screen size, and secondly, that we use our fingers to click and not a pointer. On a Smartphone screen is much smaller than a desktop computer, a laptop or a tablet. This size difference requires us to, for example, if a navigation menu is designed horizontally, in this case is displayed vertically. Moreover, as we use our fingers to design buttons large enough so that you can easily click.
Concept planning
he actions carried out to finalize plans and projects of various kinds are part of the planning . This process involves monitoring a series of steps that are initially set, for which planning those who do use different tools and expressions.
The plan includes the execution of the plans from their conception and operation at different levels and to perform actions based on the planning of individual projects. Your first step is to devise a plan that will then be realized.
In other words, planning is the dimension that is responsible for the direct implementation of the plans, which will be conducted and supervised in accordance with the planning.
In an organization , the managers who have to make plans to be governed by planning. The operation and implementation of plans may have been performed by the same actor or another, they necessarily have to know and understand the planning level applied.
The actor also plans can be who make the decisions, although it is generally established an organizational structure from which sets the rules and policies of the organization. Here is where you define the functions, roles and scope of the members. Read the rest of this entry »
