Apple experimenting with U2 the Virtual Reality – PianetaCellulare.it

Apple’s continued investment in the world of virtual reality, and this time he did clutching a new partnership with U2, the popular music band.

Apple Music and the Irish band have in fact worked for the construction of a v ideo special 360 degrees for “Song for Someone” produced by Vrse – a platform for original content produced in Virtual Reality (VR).

This might be the first content for VR consumers made by Apple, but it is not the first time that the Cupertino giant is working with U2. In September 2014, Apple to launch iPhone 6 Watch and has given more than 500 million users the latest U2 album “Songs of Innocence”. A gift that has been twisted against the company, since many iTunes users were not happy to have found in their music library automatically in the band’s songs, although freely received.

The partnership between U2 and Apple to make a video in virtual reality it is part of a project called “ Experience Bus “, making it possible for U2 fans who are going to attend the concerts of the new tour group ueropeo the ability to view video via Oculus Rift in a trackbus prepared outside of the concert.

Apple Music is clearly looking for new ways to win over users. On October 19, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the music streaming service of the Cupertino company has more than 15 million users, of which 6.5 million subscribers who pay $ 9.99 a month and 8.5 millions still use the free trial version of three months.

The music video of ‘Song For Someone’ with shooting 360 degree that Apple and the band of Bono have made can be seen through app Vrse and viewers Oculus . Who will visit the bus installed outside the concert, will wear the device and be transported in the video, with the ability to interact with U2 fan and watch others sing. It is not necessary to force enter the bus, because all you need is a compatible viewer and Vrse app installed on your phone to try the same experience – remember in this regard that Oculus Rift will be on sale from the beginning of 2016.

The video made for the song ‘Song For Someone’ incorporates a jam session band on the stage and puts the viewer at the center of the band while singing and playing in an arena empty (as shown in photo Instagram). The performance of U2 merges with the video of the same song recorded then with the fans.

It is not the first of these videos to 630 degrees we see, Facebook and YouTube have already been working on this field. However, the project demonstrates the interest of Cupertino for virtual reality. Last September, Apple acquired startups Metaio that deals with augmented reality, the next step would be the launch of a helmet to the reality ‘virtual label with the bitten apple.

Android on PCs, Google creates the universal operating system – PianetaCellulare.it

In the end it will be just one: Android . For smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices smartwatch Google plans to keep open the development of one great software platform: Android.

The scoietà Mountain View announced that it intends to combine its software Chrome OS , initially born to power laptops called Chromebooks, with Android, its operating system created for smartphones and tablets and then got on smartwatch.

Google is therefore working on the merger of the operating system Chrome and the Android operating system into a single . The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal but then it was confirmed by the search giant. Google plans to release the unified version of Android in the 2017 , including a first glance preview of which will come to us next year.

Chrome OS is not going to disappear completely, the report said, but will remain available to other companies, being an open source project and therefore free development, but Google will focus on the extension of Android to laptops.

Some of you may not know even of what you are dealing reading of Chrome OS, since the platform has a low representation in the market for portable computers Chromebooks globally in 2014 accounted for about 3 percent of the market, according to research firm IDC.

Announced in 2009, Chrome OS is a platform based on the Google Chrome browser and the Linux kernel. It is an open source operating system, designed for users who use it for most of their time connected to the Internet. Imagine it as an advanced version of the Chrome browser, on which is based for 90%. Strong features of Chrome OS are the use of only eight seconds to start up a computer with a solid state drive, and prices all in all low (about 200-300 dollars).

I do not think misconception that Google with Android wants to get where Microsoft came with Windows – with Windows 10, the Redmond company has decided to build a platform that is uniquely capable of adapting itself to the type of device that is running (PC, notebook, smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, etc.). Google at this point imagine intends to do the same.

Google acquired Android in 2005, became the most widely used platform in the world smartphones and tablets. More recently Android has arrived on watches, as the Android Wear, and also the arrival of PC seems a logical step now.

It is worth mentioning that Google CEO Sundar Pichai is head of both the Android project that Chrome OS at least two years.

According to the Wall Street Journal , the renewed version of Android it will run on any personal computer and mobile device, also allowing access from the PC to the Google Play Store. In addition, the computers powered by Chrome OS will take a new name, according to the WSJ, and no more be called Chromebooks.

Google, arriving a universal operating system: it will be for both smartphones for PC – The Messenger

Google Revolution that goes toward a universal operating system, valid both on computers and on smartphones. To govern all Android devices would, at the time under the lens Antitrust EU.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the company by 2017 may merge into a single technological environment ChromeOS and Android in order to achieve an ecosystem unique.

The convergence into a single operating system in addition to being a dream and simplification for many users also has a strong commercial. In fact, the combination of the two operating systems would mean a further expansion of Android on laptops and desktops, with the direct support to the Google Play Store, that is the equivalent of the Apple Store, the digital store where buy movie songs, apps and books . For some months now the very operating system Android is under scrutiny by EU antitrust abuse of dominant position.

17:22 – Every year thousands of tons of pumpkins used in the United States for Halloween decorations end up in the garbage, contributing to pollution. An alarming situation that prompted the US Department of Energy to run for cover, financing a series of bio-refineries to convert waste into energy . A “scare” the environment is especially methane that is released into the air during decomposition of organic waste.

The “favor” made it all ‘ environment is twofold: in addition to limiting methane emissions, the use of waste to produce energy pumpkins also help reduce the dependence on coal .

To do this, the US Department selected three companies to be financed for projects that will create biofuels for military use . Two of these, once fully operational, will produce 350 million liters of biofuel per year . “It will not take much – says the US Department – because 590 thousand tons of pumpkins produced per year become important for energy security as they are for Halloween”.

Need password? Eleven year old New Yorker sells to two dollars – The Republic

SAFETY and simplicity, these are the characteristics of passwords created by Mira Modi , eleven of New York who sells his inventions for the price of two dollars. Authentication systems today are more and more delicate and it is now necessary to have suitable keys. The complexity recommended to protect their data makes it difficult to store.

The American girl has found an effective solution: using a method called Diceware that generates “key phrases” with a manual spin of the dice . The random numbers obtained are pushed together to a predefined table obtaining an association of 5 or 6 words equally random. Generated passwords are difficult to decipher with the most popular methods while maintaining an ease of storage. Once created Mira sends them to users via email: the girl ensures that there is only one copy of the password and writes on a sheet of paper and then sent with the US postal service. The reliability of the system lies in the fact that these letters can not be opened by the government without a warrant.

Mira’s daughter Julia Angwin , ProPublica reporter (newspaper nonprofit specializing in journalism investicativo) which deals with privacy and author of Dragnet Nation . The woman took the child to the research done for the book making generate passwords with the particular method. E ‘, however, was eleven-the idea to make this experiment a business. He is trying. He has now launched a website dicewarepasswords.com for which he vendoto the top 30 passwords. If he pursued this full-time employment, he told the girl to the site Ars Technica , would earn $ 12 an hour (more than the average wage in New York). “I do not think that my friends understand, but it’s cool,” he said. A game? Intuition? Definitely a potential market in an era in which the issue of privacy becomes more delicate.

Here are the new OLED LG: it’s time the ultra-flat TV? – is approaching the Christmas period and starts the war also in the market for television sets. In the classic battle between Samsung and LG, is the second to break for the first delay and to present four new models, sales in Italy already in prtire by next November. The South Korean giant has presented its new OLED TV, with the aim of repeating and possibly expand the excellent sales results in recent years. Four new appliances, ranging from a television screen of 65 inches with HDR technology to a TV with 55-inch Full HD screen. Screen thickness of only 5 mm, a step amazing, when you consider the progress made in just a few years, than the old CRT. Recall that the first LCD have made their appearance in the late ’90s, while the TV are technology led to have been put on the market in 2009.

“In 50 years drained the 30% of Alpine glaciers” – the morning of Padua

The Marmolada glacier, the largest of the Dolomites, has dried up, lost even 7 meters thick, and it is split into two areas, in two languages, so that the province of Trento wants to run for cover, covering large sheets to protect it from the work of the devastating sun and high temperatures. Copying, in this, what has made the company Funivie Marmolada, by securing a few patches of ice where the trail descends from the tip Rocca. Environmentalists, however, already recite the De Profundis.

“The fate is already sealed, in 10 years, a maximum of 20″ dares Luigi Casanova, spokesman of the confederation Cipra, “the mass has melted, we will have the whole rock.” Because no hope? The drastic reduction in the thickness brought out 7 meters of rock, Punta Penia and Punta Rocca, but especially by the Eleven and Sasso Sasso of 12.

“The rock heats up and acts as a radiator,” says Casanova . “A radiator leading to melting of the ice. We should cover sheeting these peaks, but it would be really ridiculous. ” Snow if it is seeing very little down. Compared to 19 meters of the winter 2013/2014, the share fall this year has not come to 7 meters and the high temperatures of summer have struggled to dissolve it.

Yesterday, the presentation in Rome of cadastre areas icy Italian was presented as an absolute novelty that from the end of August 2015, the largest valley glacier Italian the “giant” of the Ovens, in the Stelvio National Park, is no longer unitary but was split into three with a continuous collapse of its sector lower. But the Marmolada is already history, in this sense, because it has already visutto the similar phenomenon. The outlook is not at all reassuring. The analysis of volumetric changes occurred in the last 26 years – since 1981 – showed a release water from our glaciers, considering only those of the Central Alps, at 2000 billion liters, the equivalent of 800,000 Olympic swimming pools .

The new register of Italian glaciers was illustrated yesterday in the House of Representatives by the Parlimentary climate Globe Italy, which was attended by, among others, Stella Bianchi, President intergroup climate Globe Italian, Claudio Smiraglia and Wilhelmina Diolaiuti, University of Milan, Department of Earth Sciences (the Scientific Organizing Committee of the Italian Alpine Club), Umberto Martini, president general of the Italian Alpine Club, and representatives of other associations. The data ranges of the most recent Inventory of glaciers Italian substantially confirm an overall declining trend. Since the sixties of the twentieth century to the first decade of the twenty-first century there has been a reduction of the distribution area 30% (from 527 sq km to 370 sq km), which is added a further decline of 5% from 2007 to 2012. The glacier surface is lost comparable to that of Lake Como and is due not only to the shrinking of glaciers but the complete extinction of 200 devices.

“The constant updating of the Cadastre” explains Smiraglia “in the short term will include the critical issues of the Italian Alps and related degradation of glaciers. For filling in the Land Registry, the researchers observed profound changes that may have considerable implications on environmental hazard and risk also in terms of hydrogeological. Future scenarios of glacial Italian, based on climate resulting from climate models suggest that a reversal of the trend in progress is unlikely and that in a few decades it could provide an additional approach to an Alpine landscape, more like the Pyrenees and the Apennines, almost devoid of glaciers, which seems the inevitable fate of the mountains of the future. “

According to the president of General Cai, Umberto Martini, we must defend itself from these effects by supporting the efforts that the UN conference in Paris in December Cop21 will be made to identify the individual commitment, binding

to all states and to all peoples, to contain within the limits of 2 degrees C warming of our planet.

“The Cai is engaged with the other 80 associations of the world to keep climbing the mountain and frequentabile livable.”

Climate, the record heat has “split” in the three largest Italian glacier – TGCOM

12:37 – Because of the heat record registered in 2015, the largest valley glacier Italian was split into three glaciers smaller . Not only that: by 2100 the giant furnaces, located on the Lombard side of the Stelvio National Park, is likely to disappear almost completely. This was revealed by the “New register of Italian glaciers” , a “registry” of complex snowy perennial updated for the last time in the sixties.

The report, conducted by the University of Milan, was presented during meeting “Fever ice” organized in the House of Representatives by the Parlimentary climate Globe Italy. Over the last 26 years Italian glaciers of the Central Alps have lost two trillion liters of water , equal to 800 thousand Olympic swimming pools and four times the Lake Trasimeno.

The glaciers are in Italian 903 for a total area of ​​370 square kilometers. Lombardy, Valle d’Aosta and Alto Adige are the regions “glaciated”: the first is the region with most glaciers (230) and the Valle d’Aosta is the one with the larger glacial area ( 134 km square).

The data on the surface of the 903 glaciers Italian “confirm a general declining trend “: a reduction of 40% (from 519 to 368 square kilometers) in the last 50 years, which is added a further decline of 5% from 2007 to 2012. lost glacier surface is equal to the extension of Lake Como and is due to the shrinking of glaciers and the extinction of nearly 200 complex.

Facebook New: notify messages also from “non-friends” – The Daily

As reported by the deputy chairman of Facebook Messenger David Marcus , as of today the instant messaging application of social network introduces a new feature that allows all users to use the app to contact any person registered in Facebook without the need to be friends.

This update will indeed You can contact all members knowing only the name and surname. The messages from contacts that we have between friends will be notified between the “ Requests Messages , or” on the web interface is that the application “ Messenger “, and who He receives will learn first name, city, work and mutual friends of the sender, and then decide whether to respond, thus continuing the conversation between regular messages, or ignore the message, hiding among the requests as spam folder. “ Forget the numbers. While this might seem like a small change, it is actually a very exciting development. , “said David Marcus, head of Facebook messaging.

The message Facebook David Marcus

Among the most mysterious and hated by users of Facebook is one of the “ Another Folder “, set up to receive messages of” not friends “, and eventually become a container of spam messages or maybe important but beds with months of delay. Given the impracticality of the function, for example accessible only to those who access from the desktop, the social network has decided to eliminate it and replace it with the “ Requests Post “, a new system that wants to connect more than 1.5 billion users by eliminating all barriers.

However, it also said that the “ Requests posts , or” at least one critical aspect. While it appears to be a powerful tool, able to facilitate communication between users, for example by avoiding losing important messages and also offering an effective opportunity for contact between a company and its customers, on the other hand it is rather invasive , mainly because it forces users to receive requests to which may not be interested. The privacy it appears in short overshadow, in favor of greater interactivity between subscribers. While not clarifying all doubts in this regard Facebook still wanted to say, you will have complete control over applications.

The new feature, surely inspired by the characteristics of some chat, will increase the potential Messanger, the mobile app installed on about 600 million devices that is turning into a true independent platform that can compete with messaging app as Line or wechat and the same WhatsApp property Facebook.

Phones, stop roaming from June 2017 but net neutrality is at risk – The Daily

->

It’s official: the 15 June 2017 clicks prohibition of roaming rates in the use of mobile phones in ‘ EU . The end of the surcharge for calls, browse, download e-mail or connecting to Facebook and Twitter in Europe has, in fact, obtained from Strasbourg definitive yes on second reading . The details were already known since before the summer, but this approval is certainly good news for all the consumer that in 20 months will start to pay for phone calls and Internet with residential rates even when traveling to another European country. And if the EU Parliament in recent years, after exhausting battles, failed to eliminate roaming already in 2015 because of the resistance of Board where is the strong voice of the operators, since April 2016 it will be possible however begin to benefit from significant discounts: telephone operators will, in fact, forced to snipping already a bit ‘rates. So, roofs currently in force when going abroad (EUR 0.19 per minute for calls, EUR 0.06 per SMS sent and € 0.20 per megabyte of data downloaded) will be replaced by an extra cost maximum € 0.05 per minute for calls, text messages and 0.02 to 0.05 per megabyte for data . All excluding VAT.

“The abolition of surcharges for roaming – the rapporteur said Pilar del Castillo (EPP, ES) – has long been awaited by all: ordinary people, start-ups, SMEs and all types of organizations. ” An enthusiasm that contrasts with the words Dario Tamburrano MEP M5S and shadow rapporteur of the measure to the European Parliament. “Today – he said – I wanted to vote for the immediate and unconditional abolition of roaming charges, so make Europe a continent really connected . Unfortunately the ‘ agreement is phony because it assigns to abolition of roaming delayed and conditioning in which telephone companies can download the lost profits on the majority of citizens, including those who do not use it, do not know what is and never travel abroad, more and more in a continent in crisis. ” Of the same opinion that the Greens speak of consumers “scrubbed” .

And the risk that this package of reforms can backfire consumers also concerns the approval of the terms on net neutrality , literally net neutrality. The principle is quite simple: all traffic on the Internet should be treated the same way , without creating preferential lanes to make so that a content is uploaded faster than another, or that a provider can block or slow down access to certain sites or services online. For example, it means that access to the website of a start-up will not be slowed to favor larger companies or any service will be discriminated because it does not pay fees to the ISP . But, according to critics, the new rules have several limitations and blind spots and operators can actually make the Internet “two-speed” , with some services preferences (for speed and economic conditions) than others , and in fact distort the freedom of the network.

So if it is true, as the EU Commissioner for Economy and Society Digital Gunther Oettinger, “that with today’s vote, for the first time, Europe has rules protecting net neutrality “, the same critics are asking why the Parliament did not approve a amendment that clearly blocks any kind of loophole . The EU has, in fact, decided that access to the Internet is free, except for the “ specialist services ” (which also include healthcare applications) and innovative ones (eg Web TV), providing safeguards in defense of the operators who, in the case of abuse, will be able to recover the costs.

Then there is the case of the offers in “zero rating” Spotify or SkyGo , ie those promotions that allow you to access certain services without consuming shortly traffic expected in data package signed. The risk is that large companies will be able to offer high quality services at affordable prices , while small, with limited resources, can not even compete. Discrimination that could happen even with the introduction of classes of service , since operators can define which services are faster than others and tendancy. Finally, there is the issue of the “policy of traffic management “. Always managers, to prevent congestion, may decide to slow down certain services at any time. But no one will check if the problem is real.

The diameter of 2015TB145, so it was dubbed the celestial body we will rise to almost Halloween night, it is 400 meters and was discovered just 17 days ago by the Pan-Starrs telescope called located in the archipelago of Hawaii in the United States of America. The closest point of the transition will take place at about 480,000 km from the planet that, in astronomical terms, represent a minimum distance of 1.3 times the distance that separates us from the moon. [...]

Stop the roaming charges in the EU by June 15, 2017 – SosTariffe

                                     

                                     Cheaper roaming basis since April 30, 2016

Stop the rates roaming EU from 15 June 2017 . The operators of mobile will no longer apply the increases for voice, messaging and data requests users to smartphone and tablet which lie outside the geographical coverage of the network of the country of origin and using a visited network.

Earlier, the 30 April 2016 , the mobile operators can not apply rates roaming greater than 5 cents of the euro minutes for voice calls, the 2 cents of euro for each SMS and 5 cents of euro for every megabytes of Internet traffic.

It was the Parliament to vote in recent hours to stop the rates roaming in the EU. The go-ahead came at the end of a long and bumpy ( Once upon a time the end of the roaming ), which began in September 2013 with the submission by the European Commission , a proposal on the “continent connected” and single telecoms market.

A proposal to eliminate bottlenecks impeding the development of digital single market and ensuring citizens and businesses the ability to access electronic communications services in any EU country, without cross-border restrictions or unjustified additional costs, says a study document drawn up by the European Parliament.

Compare Rates of Mobile Phones “

The European Commission had proposed various measures, but the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the Commission reached an agreement only on two points: the rates roaming , in fact, and the so-called Net neutrality .

In the area of ​​ Net Neutrality , however, the decisions taken do not paint a clear picture. Although, according to the proposal, the ISP (Internet Service Provider) can not block or restrict the connection speed for commercial reasons, traffic can still be operated for temporary reasons or exceptional.

Again with reference to Net neutrality In addition, the study document published by the European Parliament should be noted that certain types of price discrimination controversial or services in so-called zero rate were not specifically prohibited and may result in cases of blocks or bottlenecks.

Most of the other aspects of the original proposal, including include the measures to coordinate the allocation of spectrum , will be examined when reviewing the EU legislation on telecommunications in 2016.

As regards, more specifically, the rates roaming , it is to highlight other elements relief of the proposal approved by the European Parliament.

Until June 15, 2017, first, consumers will continue to be notified by text of rates roaming when are abroad . After that date, the alerts will only be sent in the event of activation of any clauses of “proper use” services.
