In recurrence, customer must call the company to request the release of your connection. “It’s a historic agreement,” said RIAA president.

Five major broadband providers in the United States will warn customers about the illegal sharing of content when it is identified. It is a negotiated agreement with the main organizations of the entertainment industry.

The warnings do not mean that the connection will be cut, but after some of them, the user is directed to a page and forced to contact your provider to continue browsing. Other initiatives may appear to convince Internet users to give up for free download copyrighted files.

Among the actions commented out, the speed reduction of bandwidth is a possibility, or is required to review an internet educational materials on intellectual property. But they will only be provided after five warnings are displayed, said Cary Sherman, RIAA president – an entity that gathers the largest U.S. music companies.

The system, however, will not work as previously speculated: three chances, and if the internet to waste, lose access to the Internet. According to Thomas Dailey, vice president of the organization and chairman of Verizon, the provider will not control traffic, but try to educate the consumer so that the illegal sharing of content decrease.

The names of the customers will be notified in confidence and not given to companies that own the downloaded files. James Assey, vice president of the NCTA – organization representing broadband providers – despite the agreement, the number involved is still small. Most companies chose not to join the pact.

In addition to Verizon, the contract signed four other AT & T, Comcast, Cablevision and Time Warner Cable System. The main advantage, according to Sherman, is that efforts will be unified and contain an educational component. “It’s a historic agreement,” he said.

In addition to the RIAA, other associations are entered into the partnership, as the Motion Picture Association of America – film – and the Association of Independent Music – independent music. But they will not abandon the stance of prosecuting users whenever necessary – action that the RIAA, for example, uses often.

Group wants to promote affiliate political party to support its goals, but could face internal resistance; collective has no leaders. The hacker group Anonymous plans to promote a political party affiliated to attract people who share your goals for the struggle of civil rights, but do not agree with his methods. The action is similar to the one held by many protest movements that have created legal organizations and parties to represent their cases in the political, social and legal. But the decentralized nature of Anonymous, who claims to have no central leadership or control structure, will likely make it difficult to gain support of all members. In fact, there are already some evidence of it. The group said in a video that will quit doing hacks and DDoS (distributed denial of service or distributed denial of service), and plans to restructure the system starting from the inside. “Although these methods have been effective in calling media attention to civil rights violations when our numbers were small and had limited options now have the numbers to make a difference legally,” he said. The video posted on July 4 (Independence Day in the U.S.) on YouTube was not well received by some members of the group. He also did not prevent the Antisec, a movement led by Anonymous, perform hacks and defacing (graffiti sites) on web pages from Turkey on Wednesday (6 / 7). “This (party) is just another group that wants to support the goals of Anonymous. It will not replace it, “said Smith Testudo, a spokesman for the group’s intention to form a political party. Advocacy group Smith said the group’s mission here is to create an advocacy group to provide legal channels with which to place the Anonymous goals for their Internet freedom and civil rights. These legal channels are what make the group missing at the moment, complete the spokesman. A site created for the party list Anonymous Party of America a broad agenda for a party that largely focused on U.S. policy, and will work for transparency and accountability in government, individual rights and common sense. He calls for “any congressman or senator who still has a bit of honor, to leave their corrupt party and join our call to end the current system.” The group may find it difficult to gain legitimacy if other hackers, under the banner of Anonymous, to continue to carry out attacks against sites and networks of companies and organizations. Smith admitted that making all hackers supporting the group’s goals would be difficult. “We have no control over the Anonymous as a whole. There are no leaders, and it was useless to try to control the Anonymous, “he explains. But if the new political front to gain widespread support, the group has even bigger plans. “Eventually, when we have enough support, and we believe it is the best way to reach a political impact, so let’s record,” Smith said, and then complete that “it would be something in the very long term.” Anonymous has been the target of actions of the police in some countries, including Turkey , Spain, Italy and the UK. The group is also frowned upon by the general population that support Internet freedom and individual rights, but do not agree with the methods of the group.

In war the cloud, Microsoft program earns co-authoring tool for documents in browser; option was already offered by rivals.

Microsoft has filled in some ways, the space between your Office Web Apps and rival Google Docs to add yesterday, Thursday (7 / 7), co-authored the feature to your application Word Free Web Access, allowing multiple users to edit a document at the same time in a web browser.

For those unaware, Microsoft reluctantly brought its lucrative Office suite to the cloud last year with the release of Office Web Apps, but has been held to provide all the collaboration features in Google Docs or present in versions for customers more expansive expensive program of the company.

The Office Web Apps has allowed multiple users to simultaneously edit documents in Excel and OneNote, but the co-author of Word files and PowerPoint required that the user had the client applications. Now the word processor Microsoft co-authoring allows browser-based, functionality was already offered in rival Google Docs.

Steve Ballmer’s company has developed its own system of co-authorship to allow users to see what others are editing to prevent people from overwriting issues.

“Most people do not want others to see their thoughts and issues in a document finalized until they are ready,” wrote the team of Web Apps in a posting on his official blog. “At the same time, other employees want the document to review and digest the changes made before you react and respond, instead of seeing other people writing in the document while working.”

SkyDrive
“We developed the co-author of Word Web App in accordance with SkyDrive, when you are doing the co-author always has a real-time view of who is making changes and where they are being made. As soon as you start typing, the section corresponding to the document is locked and the others are reported, putting you in control and freeing them from distractions. Employees can hit “save” at any time for an updated view of all changes. ”

Co-authoring requires users to save documents on SkyDrive, Microsoft service for consumers to share files in the cloud.

But it may mean that the use of browser-based co-author can not be used by companies, as corporate users of Office Web Apps in the greater service 365 Office SharePoint Online use instead of storing files to SkyDrive. We’re checking with Microsoft to see if this is the case even.

Even with this news, Microsoft is still behind Google in terms of mobile functionality. While Google Docs lets you edit your documents on a mobile browser, it does not happen with Office Web Apps, which only lets users view their files. To edit Microsoft documents on an iPhone or Android device, you need to open them in a third-party application, because the Office of the mobile app is only available for phones with Windows system (Microsoft’s own).

Clearly, Microsoft is struggling with the question of how to extend functionality to browser-based versions of Office, but is being forced to improve their skills online because of the success of Google Docs and demand their own users. For consumers who want the best browser-based capabilities of the company, the latest addition of the Word Web Apps is a step in the right direction.

Producers signed an agreement on the rights to adapt the icon of the 1980s to the cinema.

The classic game Space Invaders, one of the icons of the 1980s, will debut in the cinema of the nearest mall. Two producers have signed an agreement to obtain the rights to the film adaptation, said late on Thursday (7 / 7) website The Hollywood Reporter .

According to information obtained through the site, the two producers – Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Gigi Pritzker – now seeking a writer capable of creating a story based on the game. Judging by the plot of the game, leading players to spend hours killing aliens that came down from the top of a black screen, the challenge will not be small.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that Di Bonaventura also participated as a producer of Transformers and GI Joe movies, both based on the 1980s toys. Mashable, in turn, says that maybe Space Invaders – The film comes after Asteroids, another movie-based games ancient right of adaptation which was acquired by Universal Studios in 2009.

According to a survey conducted in the U.S., improved software and hardware and heavy work schedules also frighten IT executives.

Concerns about data security, technology upgrades and filling of vacancies are the most afflict IT professionals during the night, according to a new survey by Robert Half Technology.

Among the 1,400 CIOs (Chief Information Officer) U.S. respondents, 24% cited data security as their biggest concern to let them awake at night, while 13% pointed out the hardware upgrades and / or operating systems.

Other issues that frighten them include heavy work schedules (10%), sufficient budgets to finance IT projects (10%) and keeping up with technological innovations (9%).

In relation to staff, 63% of CIOs said that the lack of employees significantly affect or in any way the ability of their companies implement new technologies. The search for talent is also a concern highlighted by the company to fill vacancies CIO Insomnia Project. About a third of CIOs surveyed (34%) is at least somewhat worried about losing the best professionals to other companies.

An ideal
But then how IT executives deal with this problem? A good environment for the IT staff would be one that was challenging and at the same time allows the team to learn, says CTO Highland Bank, Craig Boivin. “If you can provide an environment where they are trained, learn new technologies and feel that they are growing, there will be more likely to get,” says Boivin.

“I’m really big challenges,” said the president of service provider Presilient, Michael Parsons. “Finding a way to get my best people and give them new challenges so that they feel they had impact on business. IT workers want to impact the business … And they want to find new technologies that allow us to solve problems. The status quo does not attract these individuals. ”

As the economy improves, 37% of CIOs plan to implement improvements in hardware or software, according to data from Robert Half. Other projects that IT executives set aside in 2009 and hope to revive after the recession include virtualization (16%), cloud computing (11%) and social media sites with the company’s brand (9%).

Obtaining revenue remains a problem for some IT leaders, however. When asked about the possibility of corporate investment in IT projects, only 15% said they were very confident. The rest said he was confident (28%), medium confidence (29%), somewhat confident (12%), no confidence (15%) – only 1% said he did not know.

“CIOs are under increasing pressure to innovate and to even protect their companies against new security threats and manage an increasing amount of information,” said the executive director of Robert Half Technology, John Reed. “These challenges make it especially important for technology executives stay connected with their companies and share best practices.”

Payments worked for a while yesterday (07/07), but the company blocked transactions at midnight today.

 

For a few hours last Thursday (07/07), donations via credit cards for the site WikiLeaks flowed through the Icelandic DataCell hosting company. The company’s CEO, Andreas Fink, said he found a new company credit, Vlitor, ready to process payments to WikiLeaks, and accept thousands of donations to the controversial site before having problems around 3a.m. (Midnight in Brazil).

“I do not think Visa has the closing down of Valitor since that time there was nobody in the office of the company. What is more likely that a blockage has occurred in the automation due to the large number of transactions in a short time since we have only a few trials, “said CEO DataCell.

The initial assumption was not confirmed. According to Visa’s representative, Amanda Kamin, “the company quickly accepted payments linked to the commercial site WikiLeaks.” “So we heard about it, the action was the suspension of payments from Visa to the site.”

The agreement with the DataCell Valitor does not contain terms that prohibit the contractor to accept donations on behalf of Wikileaks, says Fink.

However, this is the second time that Visa DataCell prevented from accepting donations for the site.

Until last year, the portal DataCell accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express to receive donations on behalf of Wikileaks, and receive payments via bank transfer to a legal fund’s own site. DataCell The move had already threatened lawsuits against Visa and MasterCard for payment service outage, which affected the corporation to stop the donations.

The attorney DataCell, Sveinn Andri Svinsson, said last Monday that the European units wrote to Visa and MasterCard informing the planning process them in Iceland, for compensation, and report a complaint with the European Commission in Brussels, claiming that companies did not respect the rules of competition of the European Union, unless the payment processing was resumed.

DataCell representatives met with European Commission officials yesterday to explain the case.

“We had a great meeting,” Sveinsson said on Friday.

However, DataCell not made the complaint to the Commission, since Visa requested more time to consider the response to the letter, according Sveinsson.

Launched last week, Google + new bet is the company’s market dominated by Facebook, but will have company “brother” older.

Google announced that Orkut, social network, created about seven years and tens of millions of users today, will continue to operate in conjunction with his new brother Google + , released last week (still in testing phase).

However, the search giant is leaving its options open about the possibility of merging the two services through some form of integration in the future.

“Orkut and Google are + different products, and both continue to exist. Over time, we determine what makes the most sense in terms of integrating these products, “said a spokesman for Google e-mail when asked about the future of Orkut.

Currently, it is unclear if Google will provide a mechanism for Orkut users to export your friends list and profile data to Google +, or add privacy features to Orkut + Google.

+ With Google, the company expects the deal with Facebook social network whose privacy features are more robust and easier to configure.

The company is betting that, despite the fact that Facebook is the market leader, many of its users have difficulty with its privacy controls to the point of being willing to switch to a rival they ofereceça improvements in this area.

In his design, Orkut, launched in 2004, is largely similar to other sites like that of his generation, such as Facebook, MySpace and Friendster.

The old Google social network ranks as number 102 in the Alexa.com ranking of the most popular sites in the world, but the majority of users are concentrated in two countries: India and here in Brazil.

As the project + Google shows, the search giant crair clearly felt he needed a new social network from scratch to compete with Facebook in the U.S. and worldwide.

The good news for fans of Orkut is that there appear to be imminent plans for closing the site. “We will continue to invest in the product,” said Google spokesman.

Second page of hacker collective, two young men allegedly involved in cybercrime “seized” the group’s reputation for illicit activities.

The hacker group LulzSec Brazil, identified as responsible for the attacks that brought down the website of the Presidency and Petrobras , among others, published a few moments ago on his web site the names of two people they say are involved in cyber crime – including the attempted sale of data from politicians like the president Roussef. It is not clear yet whether he would have been responsible for the robbery and later attempt to sell the e-mails from the president.

According to the text, Marcus D., who uses the nickname “murder” in the IRC chat network is the “primary responsibility for disclosing the details of our Rousseff and President (mayor) Gilberto Kassab. He was appointed as” banker / carder “(expert in cyber criminal financial scams) by the group.

The second is Reublem A., 25, known on IRC Bryan / Rodrigo. LulzSec According to Brazil, he would have tried to “defame” the group and “fame and fortune trying to pass as one of (our) leaders.”

According to the text, the disclosure of the names is part of the “second phase” of the action group – “cleaning up the boat and focus on our goals,” says the text on the site.

The Toshiba Qosmio is launching the F750, the world’s first notebook equipped with a screen that does not require 3D glasses to play games or watch movies. Just as the Qosmio T851/D8CR announced in April, the Qosmio F750 can also display images in 2D and 3D simultaneously with a very convincing, according to initial impressions.

The technology used by Toshiba is based on sending slightly different images to the left and right eyes, and it is necessary to look directly at the screen, since the webcam is used to determine the position of your eyes and calculate how to display images . According to ZDNet tracing is surprisingly accurate and has fast response, and the team at Engadget says that 3D videos watched on F750 “are mouth-watering”, after the eyes adjust.

The Toshiba Qosmio F750 should hit the market in the U.S. in August this year, and the price has not been defined.

The proof is “increasingly contrary” to the link between talking on cellphones and cancer, according to analysts after examining research around the world.

Mobile users, talk at will: an independent panel of experts is convinced that there is no relationship between mobile phone use and cancer in adults.

In fact, the evidence is “increasingly contrary” to the link between talking on cellphones and cancer, according to the conclusion after examining research analysts around the world. Brain tumors was not increased by the use of mobile phones, and experiments with animals showed negative results to the theory. May not even be a biological mechanism that creates creates the cancer from radio frequency fields.

The research, conducted by the committee on epidemiology of the International Commission for Protection Against Non-Ionizing Radiation, was published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives .

Their conclusion may seem at odds with the World Health Organization, which ruled in May that the phones were “possibly carcinogenic”. But despite the flashy headlines, the WHO itself has stated that there were a limited number of tests. The group of scientists placed the mobile phones in a category called IARC Group 2B, which also includes coffee and vegetables in brine.

Assessed the need for categorization, the new study shows evidence that the fact that cell phones cause cancer is virtually nonexistent. “We’re trying to say clearly that we believe is the relationship,” said Anthony Swerdlow of the Institute of Cancer Research UK, who is heading the study, according to Reuters.

But experts are leaving a small gap, since the time of the study evaluates the use of cell phones for a maximum of 15 years, and data on the use of these devices are not available for children.

“If trends apparent effects in the next year, after the almost universal spread of mobile phones in all Western countries, is increasingly unlikely that there are side effects materials,” Swerdlow said in a statement. “Conversely, if there are trends, there will be a case to answer.”

For mobile phone users who are still worried, there are many ways to reduce exposure to radiation , but these efforts can be better used in conjunction with exercise and good nutrition, otherwise a heart attack will probably kill him before.

McAfee Secure, intended for the segment of online sales will help protect and certify the quality of security sites, the company says.

McAfee announced on Tuesday (05) platform launch McAfee Secure. The technology-oriented e-commerce, allows you to protect and certify the quality of safety of such sites, the company says.

According to Sergio Oliveira, manager of McAfee Consumer area of ​​Brazil, the growth of e-commerce raises the interest of consumers and also to cybercriminals. “Hackers find vulnerabilities in these portals seek to carry out attacks, whose aim, in most cases, is financial,” he says.

According to a survey from consulting firm TNS, 70% of Internet users complete a purchase only if the site have any credibility and safety certification. McAfee data also indicate that the sites that adopt protective measures increase sales volume by up to 12%.

Secure By hiring the service, the site is checked and filled up daily. After the procedure, the portal is eligible to display the security seal. The service performs daily scans for vulnerabilities.

Another benefit of the solution, the company says, is to obtain certification of PCI (Payment Card Industry) – standard created by the credit card companies, whose goal is to reduce operational risk transactions involving credit cards. The solution helps e-commerce site to conform with the requirements of PCI.

D-(SaaS SaaS Distributor) – specializes in the distribution of software as a service – is the McAfee partner to commercialize the solution.

Distributing lawsuits against manufacturers that use the OS of Google, its developer, Microsoft is winning because of patents.

One of the most profitable sectors of the Microsoft’s mobile devices. But do not think Windows 7 Phone is taking off – the source of the money is and goes by another name Android.

Yes, Google’s system based on Linux is a favorite target of the giant when it comes to lawsuits. In recent years, the number of proceedings for breach of patents has increased considerably by the side of the Redmond company, but rather to prioritize their own fight against the software developer, she prefers to denounce the manufacturers that use it.

If Android violates patents, why Microsoft did not sue Google?

The latest victim was the Wistron Corp.. Arm of Acer. She agreed to pass on to win part of the platform with each unit sold. According to a statement from Microsoft, the signed contract ensures “broad coverage in terms of patents on the tablets, smartphones, e-readers and other devices that run Android and Chrome.”

You will not find Wistron’s products in stores, since it only makes components for other brands. The fact that the process include not only the Android, but the Chrome , shows that Google is attacking Microsoft on multiple fronts. The OS built from the browser market has recently reached via companies like Acer and Samsung.

“We are pleased that Wisdron have decided to take advantage of our licensing program, designed to help companies facing problems related to Android,” said Microsoft’s general counsel, Horacio Gutierrez.

The giant has already received more than 700 agreements since he started his licensing plan in 2003, which obviously did not have the Android as its main target. However, since Google’s platform has to be targeted, as are five companies that chose not to take action to extremes – just last week, Velocity Micro, General Dynamics Corp. and Onkyo. be surrendered .

The greatest victory, however, occurred last year with the HTC. Since then, the manufacturer – whose line of Android phones sell well in major markets – pay $ 5 for each device sold with the OS. As a result, analysts have said that Microsoft earns more with Google’s system than your own.

She, however, is far from calm, after all, there are dozens of companies that use the Android-based products. One, Motorola, decided to fight Microsoft in court, but after the patent expert Florian Mueller, the prospects are not good for the manufacturer.

As Mueller points out, Barnes & Noble – bookstore chain developer of tablet Nook – also faces similar process, while LG and Samsung have reached an agreement with the Redmond company, although details are not known.

The difficult relationship with Microsoft’s Linux-based products dates back to years ago. In 2003, for example, CEO Steve Ballmer called the open platform of cancer and in 2007, said it violated 235 patents of the company.

In a month, the first graduates of the school hacker Anonymous will begin to affect the already tumultuous wave of cybercrime.

“We have more than 250 000 users are able to cause problems, which, although they have professional knowledge of hacking techniques, will have responsibility for the increased incidents to be felt in the coming weeks,” said Karim Hijazi, CEO Unveillance security.

The estimated impact is based on the number of followers that the hacker group LulzSec obtained in the 50 days he was active : 285 000. When the team announced it would cease to exist, also said that a school would be formed in order to give continuity to the actions by which she became famous.

From the information obtained by the CEO, the course teaches basic techniques, how to enable botnets Zeus , the main malware to steal banking passwords. “Every young apprentice will be able to build its botnet,” he said. “And while one of them alone does not cause major setbacks together the situation becomes more complicated.”

In addition to attacking portals and disseminate the stolen data online, the LulzSec served to recruit young members, according to Hijazi. When the group announced its disintegration, reaffirmed their battle against big corporations and governments corrupt, they went to battle this Anonymous – along with the young enthusiasts.

“It was a campaign in favor of the Anonymous, “says the CEO, who warns of the dangers looming. “The graduates will be able to buy domains to coordinate their actions, control servers and possibly create a botnet in the coming weeks.”

Baidu has made other moves to expand its brand. Last month, the company announced a $ 306 million with Qunar, a tool Chinese travel search, which Baidu became the majority shareholder.

However, Microsoft is certainly eager to expand access to 480 million Chinese Internet users, while trying to decrease the vast Google’s leadership in the market for online search around the world.

Until now Google owns 91.07% of the search market worldwide. Bing is 3.21%, according to data generated on Monday by GlobalStats Statcounter site.
