Brazil: ordered block WhatsApp, charges: refusing to … – Footprint Unika

WhatsApp, for sure someone does not like, a Brazilian judge ordered the application to crash accusing her of refusing to cooperate with a police investigation in the State of Piaui. The decision by Judge Luiz Moura Correa was communicated to telephone operators and Internet providers to Brazilians, but today the application still works normally in the country.

According to the court, from 2013 WhatsApp refuses to cooperate with the Police Piaui in a case whose details were not disclosed because it affects children and adolescents. For some Brazilian media, it would be an investigation of a case of pedophilia. “We do not know when or for how long the application will stop working,” he told a news conference the Commissioner General of Police of Piaui, Riedel Batista. The order, reported the Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, will be lifted when WhatsApp will provide the information requested by the investigators.

SindiTelebrasil, the union that brings together mobile operators in the country called the excessive extent. To get information about a small number of people, denied by the owner of WhatsApp, you want to stop the service across the country. And for this reason, calls for the application of the measure to the phone operators, who have no relationship with that service.

It lost luggage by travelers who have passed through the airport in Fiumicino. Fifteen thousand objects, which have attracted a crowd of potential buyers chasing the deal. Occurred in 500, in Fiumicino. Record numbers, totally unexpected, to the point that the auction scheduled airport has been postponed. At first it was thought also to find another room, but then he gave up. C ome was explained by the police, “not met the necessary conditions.” All postponed, then, to another date.

To be beaten at auction from an accredited institution of judicial sales from the City Tribunal, should have been abandoned and now the objects found at the airport in 2013 and never claimed, among whose luggage, smartphone, iPad, cameras, laptops, necklaces, clothes, surfboards, kept throughout 2014 in the warehouses of the airport. It is estimated that 15 thousand, over 40 per day, the average of the objects that every year are lost at the airport. Among these, even wheelchairs, crutches and crutches. Hence the need to hold an annual auction. Based on the best deals, you can then purchase, paying only in cash, bags and all sorts of objects. Only the food were excluded from the sale because of their perishable nature and the expiration date.

Special auction, open to all, is that you can not know in advance the contents of each bag that is sold closed. Furthermore objects beaten at auction are “regularly appraised but not proven.” Therefore, you can then submit claims or complaints. The profits from the auction, which last year amounted to 15 thousand euro gross, end all in an account ENAC (Civil Aviation) to which it is therefore the task of deciding where to allocate them.

Judge orders the closing of WhatsApp in Brazil – News 24 Games

Although in the last hour is still working, users will soon have to tell him farewell: a judge in Brazil has ordered a halt to WhatsApp because of the refusal of the app to delete some photos of child pornography.

The judge of a court of the state of Piaui, Luiz Moura Correia, has imposed the blockade of the app in the entire country “until the completion of the court order” but without disclosing the reasons for this decision. “It is covered by the confidentiality of investigations,” he said.

Only later, the secretary of public security of the state with its capital Teresina was later revealed that the blockade of the app, which is not active yet due the appeal filed by the phone operators, is due to the fact that WhatsApp has removed some photos of “underage girls and sexually exhibited” at the center of an investigation that began in 2013.

In the story was pulled in Facebook also, as the owner of WhatsApp, who said in a statement that the operation of the two giants are completely independent. The most popular social network in the world does not intend to take any position on the matter and move away any liability.

Meanwhile SindiTelebrasil, the union of the mobile operators in Brazil, believes “disproportionate” the judge’s decision: second the union can not block a service that works across the country to obtain information on a few people.

Whatsapp in Brazil prohibited by the judge, but it still works – PianetaCellulare.it

Written by Simone Ziggiotto, the 02/27/15

A judge of a Brazilian court ordered the suspension of the nationally popular instant messaging system WhatsApp. The suspension was ordered on 11 February after WhatsApp has apparently refused to help the police. However, the service continues to run as the ruling was immediately appealed by WhatsApp, according to the newspaper Folha de S. Paul , or reported.

The judge did not want comment on the details of its decision, because it is an ongoing case , but a press officer of the Department of Public Safety of the State of Piaui said that the case was related to the “sexually explicit photos of children shared through the app. ” He spoke on condition of anonymity, citing internal regulations.

WhatsApp did not immediately respond to requests for comment by the media. WhatsApp does not have an office in Brazil so the judge’s order was delivered to the mobile operators, who have been asked to prevent the operation of the service.

SindiTelebrasil , the association that represents operators, said on its website that the suspension could have “huge losses for millions of Brazilians” using WhatsApp for personal and professional reasons.

WhatsApp is property Facebook , which last year paid about $ 22 billion for the acquisition of the mobile messaging service.

The judge argued that WhatsApp is legally required to hand over information about users or their conversations when required. Important thing is that the service seems to function normally within the country. “We are not currently suspended in Brazil,” he confirmed a representative of WhatsApp to The Verge.

Because of the end-to-end encryption used by WhatsApp users only have access to encryption keys for the ‘access to private conversations, and the company can not actually deliver the transcripts even when legally compelled to do so.

However, the judgment appears to have been a fortune for competing services, probably because of some news wrong who reported that the application was successfully blocked. Telegram, another service that provides the end-to-end encryption, recorded 2.5 million new users, with 100 registrations per second in the hours after the first news about the order of block Whatsapp have appeared online.

At the moment, therefore, WhatsApp is working in Brazil, and it was not until the appeal judgment to know what will the messaging service in the country.

Himalaya glacier against artificial scarcity of water – ANSA.it

Race against time in the Himalayas of India for the construction of an artificial glacier that can help local people to make up for the shortage of water during the dry season. Within a couple of weeks should be completed in the desert of Ladakh before the ‘stupa’, so it was called the ‘pyramid of ice’ in honor of the eponymous Buddhist monument, which melts in the warm months should provide water for irrigation.

The project, to see the light last winter has resorted to crowdfunding site Indiegogo to collect 125 thousand dollars, is led by engineer Sonam Wangchuck. The one in progress is a sort of mini-glacier artificial, a block of ice, in the village of Phyang

The goal is to finish mid-March to provide in the following months to farmers water they need for their activities. In the coming years the aim is to build 80-90 stupa capable of storing one billion gallons of water to irrigate 600 hectares of desert. To do this, says Wangchuck, will require an additional 100 thousand dollars.

What the ‘stupa Ice’ is a way to store water without building dams or reservoirs, Wangchuck says the Guardian. Last winter the engineer had made a prototype 6 meters high, while the stupa in construction had to be 30 meters high. However, he admits the engineer, at the conclusion of the work will be high only half. “As a first time – he says – it is normal that there are some complications, but we wanted to show how to make a stupa ice and make a piece of green desert”.

Apple, here we are: March 9 comes the iWatch – The Messenger

It could be the long-awaited iWatch the guest of honor of the next event organized by Apple.

The house of Apple has organized a meeting for March 9 to 10 am (19 hours Italian) at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. The last time that the Cupertino giant has held an event at the Yerba was in October of 2013, when they were presented the new iPad, Retina McBook Pro and Mac Pro.

So the critics said the Cupertino giant is confirmed “hungry” (“hungry”), but not “foolish”, “crazy”, as he wanted the legendary Steve Jobs.

As usual, the invitation is cryptic. On the tagline that accompanies it says only “Spring forward”, which translated goes something like “towards the spring.”

Moreover, the day of his first presentation presentation in September, the ‘ Cupertino company has omitted any information on some key elements of the last invention. A revolution of which you do not know especially since battery life, indicated by internal sources in 19 hours hours of battery life, even if other voices speak of a little comforting figure of 2.5 hours of use in a “heavy”, ie engaging the Apple Watch in game mode, while it would be estimated at only 3.5 hours usage time in normal mode, or activating the classic App for displaying messages from social networks.

A turning point, that of Apple, which last week held a convention dedicated to their own developers to App in an effort to stimulate the creation of the most useful programs, incisors and trendy, despite the lack of power provided by the processor that equips S1 the clock of the apple.

Another thing, decisive, the start of the sale, indicated by internal sources at the first week of April, therefore, between 6 and 10 April. It remains a figure of $ 349 as the base price of the Apple Watch in the simplest version with stainless steel, while the variation in gold supply should start from $ 1,200.

 According to the magazines that deal with high tech should be just the famous clock wearable the protagonist of this new presentation. During the last quarter, the group had said that the smartwatch would be put on sale from April.

Climate Change, goodbye to surf by 2100 – News 24 Games

We have seen, in recent weeks, different news, from all over of the world, on the one hand, fear of the serious consequences that climate change will cause to our country, and on the other the different ways to eliminate it and to do something concrete to remedy the situation.

According to data compiled by the University of California comes a bad news again, this time for fans of the sea and water sports: no more waves, waves … and surfers, in a scenario “apocalyptic” on the evolution and consequences of climate change on our planet described by the scholars.

“One of the major causes of the waves in California are the storms that form in ‘ ocean and waves that generate direct to the coasts of California, “it said in an article on the subject published in the San Jose Mercury News. “By 2100, these storms may move, directing the waves in a path parallel to the coast rather than directed against it. This change, combined with a dramatic rise in sea level, could eliminate the places that today surfers attending. “

In practice, according to forecasts made by the Institute of Geophysics American, if current trends will not suffer a drastic reversal, could prefigure the advent of a scenario in which the proverbial waves in waves so dear to California surfers could disappear by the year 2100 due to weather phenomena that can move in the direction of the particular offshore storms that damage origin to the waves.

The slope on the surfing is not that, logically, only one of the infinite aspects that are upsetting the climate due to global warming and is definitely one of the less worrisome, admittedly.
