Apple surpasses Coca-Cola: Now is the brand that is worth more to the world - The Messenger

Apple, users caught by seasickness: "iOS7 causes dizziness" - The Messenger

That the new iPhone operating system, with its animated graphics and zoom effects, might result in “seasickness”, as denounced by some users on the Internet according to a report in the “Guardian” , it seems perhaps excessive.
But, in fact, “in subjects with particular sensitivity there may be disturbances such as nausea or dizziness, but they are not different from those that you feel when you look intently at a moving object.” This is what explains the ANSA Paludetti Gaetano, director of the Department of Surgical Sciences of the head and neck of Gemini and the Institute of Otolaryngology, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.

The iOS7 has a whole new range of graphic animations with fake zoom, parallax, slips and other screens, compared to the previous version, which makes it particularly “attractive” and distinguish it from other operating systems.

In fact reactions “unwanted” 3d effects on the screens are nothing new, especially for those with vision problems or disorders related to balance. “But it is excessive in this case talk about motion sickness, or motion sickness or seasickness – supports Paludetti – because this is a disorder that you feel when you are moving, for example in the swing, on a carousel, or trip on a boat, in a car or on a plane. And it is still a disorder that affects people who have individual susceptibility.

It is true that the use of a smartphone with moving effects of this type can theoretically cause the onset of nausea or dizziness in sensitive people, because of the conflict between the visual and the vestibular system, especially in the presence of the vestibulo-oculomotor problems, namely the connection that exists between the eyes and the apparatus that is the center of our sense of balance and spatial depth. “

Some on the internet complaining about a lack of sensitivity towards Apple users with vision problems. But it is also true, as experts note, that this type of sensitivity can vary greatly from person to person. Meanwhile, Apple still provides a partial solution in the settings dell’iOs7 fact, there is the option “Reduce Motion” that allows you to limit the animations but only disables the parallax effect but not that of the zoom or delayed.

Google, the past and future of search - Computer Point

Into Mountain View celebrates 15 years since the revolution of Internet search. And it brings a new version of its algorithm: For best results in line with the complex demands of users

 Google, past and future of search Rome – In the 15th anniversary of the revolution of the search, as Google have led many journalists to wander through the rooms of the house where it all went in early September in ‘year 1998. With the new celebratory doodle (users can click on the birthday cake to start an electronic play very similar to the one known as “pot” or “piƱata”) and the press around the home of Menlo Park (Susan Wojcicki’s garage, ex-wife of co-founder Sergey Brin), the giant California celebrated by announcing some new features in its search algorithms and ranking on the desktop and mobile.
With a bit of nostalgia for the passing years – was launched a special easter egg from Google search that returns a version in 1998 vintage of the search engine Californian with a lot of old logo – the company Mountain View looks to the future of the global search with the strength of his leadership in market share. Presented by engineer Amit Singhal software, the timeline of Google Search is started from the domain registration google.com Now to get to the service and the latest intelligent features of online search.

google search timeline


From the old and slow computer 1998 to the explosion of mobile connections, Singhal presented the latest updates Bigg algorithm – codenamed Hummingbird or, in Italian, Hummingbird – that will take advantage of the vast potential of so-called Semantic Web users to return more accurate results and especially in line with the individual requirements . With the review of the updated Knowledge Graph , Google will present results that answer questions too complex, such as a full rundown of Impressionist artists.Into new knowledge graph


In addition, the new version of the search engine Californian offer mobile users the ability to to compare two specific query – in the example given by Bigg, butter and olive oil – for better understanding differences within a given topic.

 new knowledge graph


While there is a new release of the app for iOS Google Search – users of the iPhone and iPad will be able to set the reminder and then view the notifications at the appropriate time, for example in a supermarket to purchase good food – the new algorithm Hummingbird is veiled by an aura of mystery. It is assumed an increase in the price of advertisements related to the search , if those sites demoted by the new ranking mechanism should feel the need to invest in order to reposition itself and attract new visitors.

As explained by Singhal, the changes introduced by Hummingbirds are necessary since an increasing number of users relies on the results of long and complex query into the search box, rather than a few words related to specific topics . The advent of voice recognition technology on smartphone and tablet devices allows sequences of spoken sentences to look like a real man-machine conversation.

The farewell Ballmer to the tune of Michael Jackson - Computer Point

Into The CEO resigned presents perhaps for the last time to the employees. These tell of moments of emotion on stage. And with good intentions for the future

Rome – He greeted everyone, he cried, he did what he always recognize all know how to do very well: has motivated the troops . In his last business meeting at Microsoft, Steve Ballmer tried to leave a different idea of ??himself as a man totally dedicated to numbers and budgets: a company wants to leave to his successor about to revitalize its image and its (in honest never faded) economic success through innovation and products that can make a difference with the competition. As if in short, a bit ‘as it is up to Apple in recent years, Redmond should prove to be able to surprise and enthrall with inventions capable of catalyzing the attention and customer purchases.

Ballmer spoke for an hour, reiterating his colleagues that work for Microsoft means “working for the largest company in the world” according to Steve, “we will build the next big thing , we will change the world again.” At times even moved, someone refers to tears that would leave you speechless for a moment the otherwise always chatty CEO , Ballmer reiterated: “I believe in you, I believe in our mission. We were a large company for years. We are a great company for many years to come. ” It has not spared digs competition, defining Apple’s “fashionable” Amazon “economic”, Google interested in “more”, while Microsoft would be able to “do more”. “We have before us an incredible potential, we have an incredible destiny. Only our company and a handful of others are able to write the future.’ll Think big, we’ll bet the maximum.”


Perhaps with the idea of ??closing a path, Steve Ballmer on stage sounded notes of Wanna Be Startin ‘Somethin’ by Michael Jackson, the same song used in the first business meeting of 1983: galvanized, Then, the CEO has also done a great classic from the famous movie Dirty Dancing , suggestively titled Time of my life , what is in the background during the final scene of redemption of the protagonists and that in the words makes it clear that what was experienced by Steve in these years not far from Seattle was the best time of his life .Whatever the reason, the era Ballmer is going to end. Very soon the committee chaired by John W. Thompson will have to comment on the chosen successor as the new CEO, and in an interview with the Wall Street Journal is himself makes it clear that the selection process is going forward, with the substantial contribution (but, he says, not decisive) Bill Gates, and that the disappearance of the CEO should not necessarily be interpreted as a loss of confidence of the board, but rather the awareness of Ballmer not be the right man in the right place in a process of organizational change that has just begun and will last many years.

To drive this change, apart from the name of Stephen Elop who became more insistent after the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft, seems to be in pole position the current Ford CEO Alan Mulally . After the initial denial of the fact, it is said that the business-man who has made the fortune of the Detroit automaker has seriously considered the idea of ??replacing his friend Steve Ballmer in Redmond: Mulally knows Seattle (there we are the offices of Boeing, where he was CEO), has hands-on experience necessary to carry forward the corporate restructuring and spiritual event that Microsoft needs, has a public figure very pleasant and strong communication skills and empathy that could make Big M brand more appealing to users. If they are roses bloom, meanwhile AllThingsD do know that if there is someone to bet on it might be worth to name Mulally.

Bill Gates and the CTRL-ALT-DELETE error - Computer Point

Into The founder of Microsoft regrets the choice of the command to perform the login and the emergency of the first Windows devices. It would have been better a button

Rome – Interviewed by David Rubenstein, head of the program Harvard Campaign eponymous American University, the co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates has repudiated a between the keystrokes of the most popular computing history. The adoption of the format command by Ctrl, Alt, and Delete – originally conceived by engineer David Bradley IBM to reboot the operating system – would be the result of a “big mistake” at the top of Redmond, between the decisions less well-aimed Gates era from the first distribution of the OS Windows .
According to statements made by Gates at Harvard University , the adoption of the Ctrl-Alt-Del would have been “forced”, since that same Bradley did not want to give Microsoft a command only to perform access operations in the operating system of Windows-based desktops . The IBM engineer had devised a combination of keys very far from each other to avoid typing errors in restart level OS.

Adopted by Microsoft in the early devices for home users with Windows NT, the trio of buttons on keyboard has for years represented the classic exit strategy to unravel critical situations, so-called access the task manager or restart the PC with no little exasperation. “We have developed some very interesting things – Gates explained the event to raise funds from Harvard – but that combination was not one of those.”

Among the general laughter of the audience, Gates stressed that the adoption of the Ctrl-Alt-Del serve to provide the first Windows users an option physical (keyboard) to control the activities of logging into the operating system, rather than a software screen for entering a password . In a previous interview, the engineer David Bradley had said: “Why have used to log in I do not know, I think for them it was a sensible thing to do.” Into Old Mauro

    Climate: global warming, the fault is human to 95%

    The U.S. Secretary of State Kerry: “Yet another wake-up call: those who deny the science or find excuses playing with fire”

    Into The global average temperature will rise by between 0.3 and 4.8 degrees Celsius (° C) by 2100 compared to the average from 1986 to 2005, and this warming is due with a confidence of 95% to human causes. Heat waves will be more frequent and last longer, more rain in humid regions and dried ones will become more arid. The alarming data are contained in the first chapter of the report on Climate Change (AR5) announced Friday in Stockholm by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the full text of which will be released next Monday.

    RISE OF THE SEAS – Compared with the previous report of 2007 (AR4) is defined with greater accuracy the rise in sea level, which is partly due to the melting of continental glaciers and ice caps polar, and in part to the thermal expansion due to heating of the water itself. The increase by the end of the twenty-first century will be between 26 and 82 centimeters (in the previous report was 18-59 cm). The “fork” of the increase in sea level, as well as that of temperature, depends on the four scenarios identified in the report, the lowest rate if you act right now in a conviction for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the highest if nothing is done.

    CAUSES HUMAN – In the synthesis of some thirty pages of the IPCC report, which represents more than 9,000 scientific studies multidisciplinary, global warming can be attributed with a confidence of 95% to human causes, a increase compared to 2007 when this security was “only” 90%, and significantly higher than the ratio AR3 2001, when human influenza had been found with a confidence of 66%.

    REACTIONS – Ban Ki-moon thanked the IPCC for its work “impartial”, after which in 2010 had been impeached by deniers of global warming and its human causes for some errors in the AR4 report, in particular the speed of the melting of Himalayan glaciers. “This new relationship will be essential for governments that will work for the creation in 2015 of an ambitious and legally binding climate ‘, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012, said the UN secretary-general. In Paris in two years the nations of the UN (110 governments that have found a compromise in today’s report of the IPCC) should be able to reach an agreement to fix to no more than 2 ° C increase in average temperatures overall compared to the pre-industrial, now this increase is 0.8 ° C. “The unfortunate truth is confirmed,” stressed in a joint statement the most important environmental and humanitarian non-governmental organizations such as WWF, Greenpeace, Oxfam and Friends of the Earth. “Climate change is a real and continuing at an alarming rate, and are caused by human activities, primarily by burning fossil fuels.”

    KERRY – The U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has called for strong measures to reduce the impact on the environment, after receiving IPCC report. “This is yet another wake-up call: those who deny the science or find excuses to action are playing with fire,” said Kerry, “the cost of inaction goes beyond anything that any being with a conscience or common sense should be willing to contemplate. “

    Into the EU – “If your doctor says that 95% have a serious illness, would you start treatment right away or not?” the Commissioner concluded at the European Climate, Connie Hedegaard.

The Kindle Fire HDX can be lit up to 17 hours under certain conditions, up to 11 using the tablet as normal: all with a redesign of the body that made them lighter and thinner. And this time Amazon has tried to avoid compromises in other aspects such as the camera (the largest model arrives in 8MPX, on the smallest to 5, but both with a lens f / 2.2 front), which is up to those competition, or in the accessories with the covers Origami calls that allow you to protect the screen and at the same time support the tablet on a table for writing or watching movies.

    A serious restyling has also received the operating system, which is always a fork of Android (4.2 in this case), it is called Fire OS 3.0 “Mojito” : in this case Amazon has cleared the field by a series of choices especially graphics that penalized the usability of the previous version, bringing the interface to more traditional paradigms (via carousel compulsory app, now there is also the grid) and improving many aspects also dedicated to the public enterprise with the management of security certificates and an email account definitely grown. The Silk browser has been improved.
    The target audience of Fire remains that the consumer is no accident that one of the most publicized is the “Mayday” call for help for immediate , a kind of service to be activated anywhere in videoconferencing there is a connection available and which receive the support and advice of an experienced Amazon directly to video on the screen and with the ability to show the actions to be performed remotely or even solve some configuration problems (in each case, the operator can feel but did not see the customer). The goal of Amazon is to provide within 15 seconds of being prompted an active support directly to the customer’s home, at all hours and every day of the year: an idea that does nothing but translate into reality the eternal purpose which supports the ‘company (in customer at the center of everything).

    There are also other software functions that are obviously tailored to the needs of the consumer audience: X-Ray , the service content delivery “extra “is extended parallel to the film and music, respectively, providing extra information and trivia about movies or TV series for viewing or showing the lyrics heard. Second Screen , compatible with some Samsung TV, PS3 and PS4, allows you to display the contents in a vision on the screen in the living room and take advantage of the above functions X-Ray on the screen of the tablet (but works via the cloud, c ‘you need an Internet connection for this to work: there is no direct connection between tablet and TV). And there is also support for some WiFi printers.

    Finally, groped to finally break the competition, Amazon has decided to leave in the list old Kindle Fire HD, but upgrading the CPU bringing it up to 1.5 GHz and the new Mojito installandoci on board: will cost $ 139 , a remarkable price for a 7-inch screen with 1280×800 and the whole plethora of functions guaranteed by Fire OS 3.0 and that despite the shortcomings in the specification than the Nexus 7 could still cause some problems because of the price considerably lowered.

    Into there is life on Mars or not? Thickens the mystery after the latest data of Curiosity - Video We’re not talking about water, but the methane. Than in the past, motorbike past, Mars had liquid water on the surface is now an absolute certainty: signs of rivers and streams flowing, lakes, erosion of rocks by liquid flowing impetuously, was found throughout including plaster, without H2O, not just form.

    Into this time it’s the methane that makes you the headache and not NASA scientists. Composed of carbon and hydrogen is abundant in the solar system. Even Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is covered. It may be of natural origin, due to geological phenomena, and then it’s fine no problem, but can be created by living beings. Many famous German cows that pollute more than cars with their methane produced naturally. Mars will look more modestly that produced by bacteria which, in 2003, he thought he had found. Of different satellites orbit around Mars for years, he had found a number of “feathers” of methane in the atmosphere kept very clear of that planet on which we now reaffirm their opinion that the researchers then had explained to the scientific community .

    Into Now Curiositiy for a year and spends it in Gale Crater, 150 km wide and seemingly ideal place for its geological history, to find traces of methane. Well Curiosity has found nothing, although in his body from the huge SUV Martian guard Sam, a very sophisticated set of tools with which he sniffed the air and analyzed rocks.
    So what? And other measurements have to wait, but at this point will be in the same area where the rover landed in August, 2012, whether they come our, that in this case we are Europeans.

    Into The ExoMars mission, which sees the massive participation of scientists and Italian industries in 2016 and 2018 and then twice again analyze soil and atmosphere of Mars with even more refined tools. It is hoped to bring a little ‘light on these contradictory results that they are not giving me a few headaches for scientists: in 2003 there seemed to be methane, now seems to have disappeared.
    In short, the wondrous mission of NASA’s Curiosity, which many positive results has already given us, on this key issue seems to get confused and throw gasoline, since methane is not there, the fire of the debate.

    Mars methane almost absent, fall to find forms of life

    would be an indirect evidence of the presence of biological activity on the Red Planet

    Into The Curiosity rover on Mars (NASA) The rover Curiosity on Mars (NASA)

    The possibility of finding traces of life on Mars decrease after the latest discovery of Curiosity. The rover NASA has in fact completed the most accurate analysis so far carried out the atmosphere of the Red Planet and found that the methane content is only 1.3 ppb (parts per billion), which is six times less than the previous estimates . In recent years, scientists had speculated that a high content of methane could be the trace of the existence of indirect biological activity and thus the proof of life on Mars. Instead, the new discovery is greatly diminish the enthusiasm of finding ET (although in microscopic form) on Mars.

    CURIOSITY – In March 2003, other scientists had estimated that 19,000 tons the amount of methane that had been found in an analysis carried out near the equator of the planet, kindling enthusiasms. The analysis, however, was performed using data collected by satellites orbiting Earth or Mars. Now, however, Curiosity, arrived on the surface of Mars in August last year, was able to analyze the atmosphere in a direct way and in different Martian seasons. Reducing almost to zero the possibility of finding traces of life still active or even trace fossils.

    A SPIRAGLIO – However, Michael Mayer, chief scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration, still leaves open a crack. “These new data will be used to better target our research,” he said. “It is true that reduce the probability of the existence of methane-producing bacteria on Mars, but it is just a type of metabolism of microscopic organisms. In fact, on Earth there are many other microorganisms whose metabolism does not produce methane. “

    PERSISTENCE – Adds Sushil Atreya, scientist at the University of Michigan, co-author of the study. “Under the conditions of Mars, methane does not disappear easily from the atmosphere. Once issued lasts for hundreds of years. So if we found only in small traces, it means that it is produced very little. “
