Palermomania.it | Story Filed: 26/08/2014 – 19:13 | Article read 366 times

An Italian three bypasses corporate restrictions and access to Facebook and the Internet during working hours . The result has emerged from a study commissioned by Samsung on a sample of 4,500 employees spread across 7 European countries.

In Europe, Facebook access is restricted or prohibited in some 40% of employees. All states are, however, lined up as a breach of the rules: in Italy, 32% of workers ignores him as well as Germany (34%), Spain (33%), Belgium and the Netherlands (31%).
The business rules are more respectful of the French workers: only 1 out of 5 violates the prohibitions of this kind.

As expected, corporate offenders are mostly young workers, that is, those included in the age group between 18 and 34 years, more prone to new technologies.

Facebook changes algorithm, goodbye to post a “catch clicks” – Corriere della Sera

Look at the amazing images, Clamoroso! Click here to see … And again: Scandal! Here’s what has made this a political or Hot! Want to see this actress nude bea? At this garbage that runs mostly on social we become accustomed. But now something might finally change. Yes, because Facebook has declared war on the click baiting (publishing content with titles and squeals that exaggerate the content to entice users to click on the link). This type of content, in general, become viral since they attract the attention of users. But often they do not offer quality content or to match the title. Sometimes they also contain spam and virus.Da time anyone involved in web marketing knows this mechanism and exploits it to his advantage. A typical example, in Italy, is the blog of Beppe Grillo and the associated platform Tze Tze whose contents are disseminated on social in this way to increase traffic, however, charge that the people involved do send back to the sender.

Whatever it is curious users are clicking them without their knowledge, and become the means of spreading hoaxes, news distorted or exaggerated. Tactic – a duty to say – even for several newspapers and media outlets.

Zuckerberg and his associates should be realized that this type of content in the long run make users and consequently damaging ads advertising. Not surprisingly, recently, in the United States has been much discussion of how little news related to Ferguson comparissero on message boards. And not only that. In the days following the beheading of Foley, as we wrote here, we became aware of how great the responsibility of the giants of the tech in the spread and control of the news circulating in the network. Morale, from Menlo Park decided to modify the algorithm to NewsFeed, the flow of news that appears to users. Just junk content and headlines like “You’ll never guess which celebrity they quarreled on the red carpet.” If a title or a shriek are misleading, that post will not be “encouraged”. The criteria to award the spread of certain post rather than the other will be the time spent reading a news story and the number of shares, and interactions with the link after you open it. “If users click on an item and spend time in reading it means that the content is valid. If you click on an external content to the social network and immediately return to the platform means you have not found what you were looking for, “explains Khalid El-Arini eJoyce Tang, respectively researcher and product specialist for Facebook. “When we asked in a survey to our users what kind of content they preferred to see in their News Feed – add – 80% of the time they said they prefer titles that help them decide if they want to read the whole article before you click it.”

In this newly Zuckerberg and his associates have also established another change, for now in the testing phase. That is, it was decided to introduce an alert (warning) indicates that if a post contains buffaloes, satire or fake. The change was necessary after it became clear account of how the news spread like false to be true by users. Too often sites like Onion were reproduced and cited as reliable sources while disseminating false information with intent clearly ironic or satirical. But that’s not all. Another new arrival in regard to the way in which you view the link in the post and the pictures. If your photos are in fact a pull factor, as amply demonstrated by today Facebook will reward the shared content with an image, but also with a brief preview of the text (Format links, see the first image below) at the expense of the link caption (ie the only post with image and link, see the second image below).

In the face of these changes, however, are not without controversy, as pointed out by, among others, Forbes. It is striking that once Facebook would arrogate to himself the right (and responsibility) to decide which information and news vehicles. Although no wonder the crackdown, given the recent investment in the sector of information by Menlo Park as in the case of Paper. There are some who doubt the validity of the criterion time. If in fact a short article requires less stay on the page, this will be disadvantaged by the algorithm. Too bad though not necessarily a short article it is less quality a longer one.

Farewell to Facebook post to catch clicks – La Stampa

A Farewell to Facebook post to catch clicks

The social network algorithm changes NewsFeed: take into account the time spent reading a news story

ROME

A Farewell to Facebook post to catch clicks in English click-bait, bait and licenses that they do not provide information. The parameter of the algorithm which take account of the News Feed, the flow of news that appears to users, will be that of the time spent reading a news item. This is the news officially announced from the social network. “We are developing two updates to eliminate the stories that people often tell us to be spam or do not want to see,” says Facebook.

The novelty is, in fact, the click-baiting, those post accompanied by catchy titles but do not provide information on the content. “You’ll never believe what the stars who have fought on the Red Carpet, click here, and see who is the woman for whom they discussed … ‘is one of the examples of click-bait that Facebook mentions on his blog.

The selection should take place – as we read in the company – in two ways: the amount of time people on posts, interactions with your content.

“If users click on an item and spend time in reading it means that the content is valid. If you click on an external content to the social network and immediately return to the platform means you have not found what you were looking for, “says the post signed by Khalid El-Arini and Joyce Tang respectively researcher and product specialist for Facebook.

“When we asked in a survey to our users what kind of content they preferred to see in their News Feed – add – 80% of the time they said they prefer titles that help them decide if they want to read the whole article before you click it. ”

Buy from Amazon buy Twitch a billion dollars – Corriere della Sera

VIDEOGAME

Milan , August 26, 2014 – 12:16

That is a relentless drive to Amazon. In all directions. The acceleration in the last few hours looking at the video game industry: the Colossus of Seattle bought Twitch, the site of streaming games to video games, to just under a billion dollars. 970 million, to be precise. She was helplessly watching Google, Yahoo! and as he tried in recent months to win the portal. To understand what Twitch deva such a reputation and economic value must move in the United States, where the use (legal) online video content from biting your ankles time to traditional television. In this context, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, Twitch has come to stand as the fourth largest source of web traffic in the States. The first in that case, it was in February, has been Netflix, the most famous platform of movies and TV shows available online on a subscription basis. Service that Amazon provides with the same Amazon Instant Video. In Italy, for now we have (only) Sky online and Infinity of Mediaset.

I (video) games in the United States are a sight very popular, considering that last October, 32 million people tuned in on the various portals to follow the stream of League championship Legends, attention stronger than that granted to the endings of TV series such as 24 or Breaking In Bed ability to manage a huge amount of traffic that comes to 55 million users in real time is the uniqueness and attractiveness of Twitch in the eyes of giants such as to Jeff Bezos or Larry Page or Erich Schmidt, left empty-handed.

With the new babe Amazon then prepares to act on two fronts: that of video games, in the first instance, and that of video transmission in general. “The games are a very important part of our business,” said Michael Frazzini, vice president of Amazon Games. This is not news. As we reported in June, most of the strategy linked to the set-top-box TV Fire revolves around the playful. And in February, Seattle had put his hands on the study of developers Double Helix Games.

There’s more: the rib of Justin.tv launched in 2011 by Justin Kan and the CEO at the time of signing up with Bezos, Emmett Shear could give a consistent hand in another area where Amazon is starting to venture. Field in which there will be the ultimate challenge with Google: that of online advertising. Twitch has a very defined audience, young male gamers, and is particularly throat to advertisers. For Seattle it will be a good starting point to begin to work its program of placing ads, which when ready will replace its pages to BigG. At stake is a market worth $ 50 billion a year. And the two giants are ready to be, once again, battle.

Amazon buys Twitch to 970 million – WebNews

James Dotta August 26, 2014, 9:25

Amazon bites the world of gaming. He does it in his own way, bypassing the ambitions that had already manifested Google, putting her hands up Twitch Interactive . The transaction was announced on the night for a total value of $ 970 million , amount paid entirely in cash.

“Amazon announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Twitch Interactive video platform for gaming. In July, more than 55 million unique visitors has seen more than 15 billion minutes of content on Twitch products from over 1 million broadcaster, including individual gamer, pro players, publishers, developers, media outlet. ” The agreement was in the air, although it was not yet known counterpart: Twitch has long sought a partner with which to feed their growth, and the last months have passed between negotiations and rumors.

Twitch is a platform that allows the share their phases of the game by the gamer : a tool for the dissemination on the one hand, a “place” of sharing the other, all within a system socialization focused on the world of gaming. Nature is completely original, generating dynamics that, since the founding of the group in 2011, has grown exponentially success and penetration of the brand among gamers around the world.

Google was the most serious candidate to closing of the transaction, but according to Forbes would place a major obstacle on the road that led the two parties to meet: l ‘ antitrust . Having already have YouTube, Google could give rise to an excessive concentration of power in the online video market. The situation has therefore taken a turn for the better for Amazon, a group that can put you in a dancing cloud system efficiently, a major ambition in the world of gaming and the need for a major hit to give shape to their projects.

At the moment it is not clear what might be the outcome of this operation: the CEO of Twitch, Emmett Shear, says its community that you have chosen the best for the future of the company and he wanted to look for a partner to go it alone because it would have been ‘dangerous’. It wasted so thanks for a group that, as the same Shear, “up to 3 years ago there.”

Here’s how the Rosetta describes his orbits – Il Sole 24 Ore

History article

This article was published on 25 August 2014 at 19:56.

From the moment August 9 has reached the comet, Rosetta began a long series of maneuvers to fall into an orbit closer.

Technically, however, its trajectories are not true orbits, because Rosetta does not move under the influence of gravity of the comet (which is very low), like the moon when it orbits around the Earth, or the Earth around the Sun.
Rosetta must follow a path of triangular shape.
path on one side of about 100 km, should turn on for a short period, its thrusters and execute the move on another side of the triangle, and so on. The animation source ESA makes very good idea of these complex maneuvers.

Rosetta has remained at 100 km from the comet for a couple of weeks, before closing the triangular outline to 70 km. These tacks at the corners allow you to observe the effect of the gravity of the comet and then determine its mass. Complicating matters is the strange shape of the comet, which makes its gravitational field uneven. The next month, once established the mass of the comet and understood the gravity field, Rosetta will enter into a circular orbit at a distance of 30 km. After making further comments, you can then move on to an elliptical orbit in which Rosetta will pass 10 km from the comet in its closest point.

In the meantime, scientists and engineers are assessing the 5 possible sites on which to fall Philae looking more and more defined images of the surface of the comet. The result is very close.

Robo Brain, the Google robots: a superbrains learning from the Internet

Concepts learned by searching on the web and can be interpreted in words, pictures and video. All data is translated and stored in a language accessible to machines

08/25/2014

He is born of the Google robot is to feed and Internet . In practice, a kind of super-brain is downloading from the network an extraordinary amount of information that includes about a billion pictures, 120,000 YouTube videos and 100 million manuals, and everything is analyzed and translated into a language that is accessible to the robot because we provide a wealth of information from which to learn about the world of men.

The project, which now has a website, it’s called Robo Brain, is coordinated by the American and Cornell University will cooperate with the universities of Stanford and Berkeley, along with Brown University. “I look at humans with my sensors and I learn things by interacting with them,” he says on his website Robo Brain, represented as a stylized brain with a square face that resembles that of an automaton. “I learn concepts by searching the Internet – he continues – and I can interpret natural language, images and video.” The idea to offer the robot a storehouse of knowledge from which to draw coexist with humans is born thinking about what might happen in the future, probably not far away, in which the presence of a robot in the home, as well as in offices or in factories, it will become familiar.

So the research team led by Ashutosh Saxena, decided that the best strategy is to teach the robot around the world of the humans: from the simplest things, like finding a bunch of keys, serve a drink, picking up good manners, such as not to interrupt a conversation between two people. “Our computers and mobile phones have access to all the information we want. Similarly, if in the future a robot will encounter a situation that does not know will ask for help from Robo Brain, “says Saxena. For example, if a robot sees a cup of coffee, can learn from Robo Brain that it is a container in which a liquid can be poured outside or inside, that can be grasped with the hands, transporting with the opening towards the ‘ high when full.

All this information is translated into a logical network made of dots connected by lines, in a cluster structure, according to a non-deterministic structure known to mathematicians as a Markov model.

Space: investigation of EU Galileo satellite positioning error – Press Agency Reuters

(ASCA) – Rome, August 25, 2014 – Following the failure,
Friday ‘last year, the correct positioning of the orbit
5:06 satellites of the Galileo constellation, the Commission
asked Arianespace and the European Space Agency
European (ESA) to provide all the details of the incident
occurred, while presenting a timeline and a plan
action to solve the problem.
According to preliminary information received by Arianespace, the
problem involving the upper stage of the launcher,
causing the failure to enter the orbit satellites

situation: ESA and Arianespace have also been invited to
Brussels to present the first results of their
investigation to the European Commissioner for Industry and
Entrepreneurship Ferdinando Nelli Fierce, in the first
week of September. ” The European Commission will participate in ‘

He acted aboard his Mercedes Class A white color with which wandered through the gardens of the suburbs looking for something to steal. Last week, in the afternoon, the green area of Strozzacapponi had noticed the clothes of a farmer plowing his garden stored in the shed.

Stealthily he approached and subtracted about 400 euro, contained in the wallet left temporarily unattended. Unfortunately for him, however, prim to go back in the car has been crossed by a policeman, free of duty, of the Department of Crime Prevention, Be suspicious that after you write down the license plate of the car in which he walked away, laid carefully somatic the stranger, apparently a gypsy.

Then, worried, asked the owner of the land if he had noticed something strange. It did not take much notice of that theft. The immediate search of the vehicle were negative, but fortunately to the other morning, when a crew of police identified the car and its driver.

After the verbalization of certain code violations of the road for non-possession of a driving license, not wearing a seat belt and failure to possess vehicle equipment, was conducted in the police station, where he was recognized with certainty by both the police officer who had noticed his estrangement from scene of the robbery, both robbed him had seen wandering in the area. For L. R., '79, nomad but long resident in Perugia, pluripregiudicato, yet another complaint for aggravated theft.

The Rosetta probe 80 km from the comet C67P. Discovery: if the star … – Il Sole 24 Ore

Rosetta, the European Space Agency ESA probe, is continuing to fill in the ID card C67P of the comet, its target of just 4.5 x 3.5 km with pinpoint accuracy achieved after ten years of travel in the solar system. Now Rosetta is just 80 miles from the comet by the strange shape of a peanut made “L” and was able to measure the mass going around and considering how much gravitational pull of the comet the same exercises. The number that comes out is ghostly at first sight, the gigantic “space rock” has a mass of no less than 10 billion tons. Given that the Italian aircraft carrier Cavour has a mass of 30,000 tons the account is easily done: comet equal 100,000 aircraft carrier.

Huge then? Not at all, given that by calculating the volume of the comet itself is a density of only 300 pounds per cubic meter. Surprise: the comet, if you could put in a terrestrial ocean, at the bottom is not so great, would float like a piece of pumice stone, the one that once used during ablutions in bagne and that every so often you see a small float pieces into the sea.

This figure, created all things in a simple way, tells us a lot of the celestial body. For example, that is, as expected, a mixture of dust, rock and ice very porous and perhaps, we emphasize perhaps, could have caves inside as in the famous movie “Deep Impact”. This can be deduced from the total weight: to get it you have to “lighten” the comet itself: it’s either a gruyere, prudence to say, or the material of which it is composed is lighter than expected. We will see. The data obtained is also crucial to drive the main probe, Rosetta, who now must orbit closer to the comet, and prevent it from being attracted and crashes on it. From the point of view of motion in fact it is as if the probe was a small ball of iron that must be close to a magnet can study enough but not too much from being captured.

Must go near it because, in November, detaches from the small probe named Philae middle and try to land on the comet to study in situ. Source of pride for our country is that the drill of small means, which is essential to extract samples to be analyzed, it is Italian, developed by Politecnico di Milano with a truly ingenious technology, the best existing nowadays, that only we are able to develop and that will also be used in the Mars missions. Where it will land this little robotic explorer we’ll know in the next few hours, when it will be made public before a list of 5 sites on the comet of you think reasonably, from the first analysis of the received images, that we can appoggiare- For the moment we must be content to watch and the fascinating images that come to us all the time, showing us a body frastagliatissimo, full of small craters, some of which, the largest, the edges have extraordinarily high, as if it were a stone dropped in a pond raising a wave, immediately frozen. As these craters were formed, for the time being unique? for all we know. And why this strange curved shape, as if someone had put together two different comets and had welded together by forming a single.

As you get the information and pictures, unfortunately released by Esa only in low resolution, it increases the wonder for this item and hope that Rosetta and Philae solve many of the mysteries that these stones icy wandering in cosmos bring with them, are pieces of the origins of the solar system, and perhaps even our own.

The inventor of pop-up apologizes to users – News 24 Games

The inventor of pop-up apologizes to users

August 24, 2014 • The Manuela Rizzo

Each day, anyone surfing on the internet you will come across those boring and annoying pop-ups, or those windows or panes that appear on our computer screen when we open a web page or application and in certain situations, to draw upon if the user’s attention.

Here, in recent days have arrived for an official apology by the inventor of these pop-ups, or Ethan Zuckerman, the which stated: “It was a way to associate a page of advertising to a user without including it physically on the page, which according to the advertisers would have implied an association between their brand and the content of the page. I wrote the code to open a new window and put advertising inside. I’m sorry. We did it in good faith. “

iPhone 5, Apple will replace defective batteries free – MondialiBrasile.com

Apple to get around this problem that has characterized many iPhone 5 decided to replace free of charge any defective batteries. In Italy the healing campaign will start on August 29th.

Apple will replace defective batteries free of smartphones that were sold during the period between September 2012 and January 2013.

Many Customers who bought the iPhone 5 in this range were left with a device whose charge is exhausted at the speed of light because they were equipped with defective batteries.

Apple has acknowledged the problem and has begun the replacement program which is already active in China, the United States and other countries.

Of course, Apple will pay the cost of replacing the entire operation, including any shipping fees.

Not only , but if someone has already taken steps to replace the battery of an iPhone 5 defective, you may request a refund using the appropriate link.

On the Apple website, you can check if your iPhone 5 is added to the list Device admitted to the program that the house of Cupertino launched to replace the batteries.

Galileo satellites, the GPS flop European: the carrier rocket from 100 million … – Il Sole 24 Ore

The cycling races on the track are beautiful. Runners pass through one stage elliptical in lanes that are inclined to rise more can descend at speed. For them to calculate the correct trajectory to get there and it is essential to win. This is what has failed us Europeans last Friday when it was officially announced that the first two fully operational satellites of the new Galileo global positioning system, political parties just before the European center of French Guiana, had not been put in the correct orbit by Russian carrier rocket Soyuz, hired at great cost to the must, we are about 100 million to launch. A double major European Russian flop, though, honestly, to put into account, given that errors and problems in the field of space are always minimizzabili but never eliminated.

What has happened? Simple, the rocket had to do as the runner coming up on the track lane in lane all the way to the right at the top, which would have allowed him to let go of the planned orbit two precious and expensive satellites of the European Galileo global positioning , our Gps if we want to go on the concrete as the one we use now is American. The satellites are in a lower orbit seems to 8,000 km on the 23,500 who were the target position, and most importantly the same orbit is tilted with an error of more than 5 degrees, this means a huge amount, without going into complicated reasoning orbital mechanics.

Now the satellites are in orbit safe and under perfect control of the control center Arianespace French, but alas they are on the lane, pardon orbit, wrong. So how do you do and why did this happen? Impossible for the moment to say that now we are studying the dual problem, both because the rocket did not arrive at the correct altitude, can depend on a thousand reasons, whether the two satellites now orbit parked in safe but useless, they can with their means of propulsion, poor, reach the right altitude. It seems difficult at first glance, we hope.

The damage is severe because the two satellites for the time lost, were the first two fully operational, the other four, say operational test, are already in orbit. Galileo provides a constellation of 30 satellites around the globe with projected costs of € 7.2 billion paid directly by the European Commission and not by the sp0aziale, which in this case is the executor of technical and managerial … will be the best existing , since it was born many years after the American one, and even after the Russian equivalent Glonass. Each power now makes its positioning system on Earth to not depend on others, even China, both for military purposes and for the increasing use civilians who have created a real market in full expansion. We as citizens know the GPS because in many cars now is a satellite navigation system, but the uses are endless: aviation and naval security forces, anti-theft systems for loads traveling, recovery and mapping, search and rescue of shipwrecked at sea, monitoring of suspicious vessels in their routes, and the list would be very long.

The list of upcoming launches of Galileo satellites and the hardware is ready ‘is. A break hopefully in a program vital to the security and economy of our continent

IPhone 5: poor battery life? Apple replace it for free, defect … – CapannoriNews.info

It often happens that the battery of your iPhone 5 is consumed in a short time. Do not worry, you’re not getting the iPhone-dependent: it is likely that the battery has a manufacturing defect .

Apple announced in the last hours, to the holders of the iPhone 5 will be replaced free of charge the battery, if they have experienced problems related to the duration. The Cupertino giant has asserted that, indeed, different models of the iPhone 5 were made with a manufacturing defect that reduces the battery life.

Must be, however, a clarification: it will be replaced free of charge the battery only the iPhone 5 assembled from September 2012 to January 2013, and bearing a serial number counted in a specific numerical range.
