Monitored Alarm Systems

The application of data compression can see how many people are downloading data services - and therefore monitor the use of Google Maps and Apple. But what is the story?

What happens once the users of iPhone and iPad upgraded to iOS 6 cards and test application? Do you stay with him, or decided - in line with "sorry" letter from CEO Tim Cook Apple's website - do not live

Snappli, what a data compression service for iPhone users (in this sense, it is a bit like what RIM offers BlackBerry users to them) was track of what has happened in the last week, as people started upgrading to iOS 6, and in particular to provide data exchange Google for Apple's own data.

The graph is as follows:

Eldar Tuvey of Snappli said the numbers are:

. 64% of our users in the last week are now in iOS 6 (UK and U.S.) - in fact, 16% upgraded to iOS on the first day

. Before proceeding to iOS6, 25% of users will see Google maps at least once a day

. Once moved to iOS6, who immediately went to 35% of Apple users who use cards

. However, over the next five days falling to 4%

In short, Tuvey said: "Before iOS 6, one in four people have been using Google Maps [daily] after iOS 6, one in 25 are using Apple Cards daily, and that number is down .... "

At first glance, this is quite overwhelming: people are not downloading data via Apple cards. Therefore, they can not be used, right?

Unless there is a confounder: Google Maps using raster graphics iOS 5, iOS 6 graphics cards using vectors (the same format as Nokia and Google Maps for Android like)

frame vector data

The main difference between raster and vector graphics is that raster graphics are a fixed framework - essentially an image - while vector graphics are files that are encoded images can be scaled down or without additional data. There is a cost in terms of CPU to use vector graphics - but the great advantage is that you do not need to download additional data once you tiles

Let

Wikipedia explains:

vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon (s), which are based on mathematical expressions to represent images in computer graphics. "Vector" in this context means more than a straight line.

is based on vector graphics formed by vectors (also called paths, or strokes) which lead through locations called control points. Each of these points has a defined position in the x and y axes of the work plan. Each point, well, it is a variety of databases, including the position of the point in the workspace and the direction of the vector (which is what defines the direction of the track). Each track can be assigned a color, a shape, thickness and also a filler. This does not affect the file size of a substantial, because all the information is in the structure, but describes how to draw the vector

The main difference is that Google Maps in iOS 5, because it uses raster graphics, requires repeated discharges. You see when you load a page maps.google.com in iOS 5, then switch the phone to airplane mode - so that the Wi-Fi and data are on - and then try to move out of the page. You will reach a point blank because there is no data.

In contrast, vector graphics cards are used in Apple require any additional downloads. You can confirm this by loading a page (choose your own site, for simplicity), then turn the data connection. Now try to scroll the page is loaded. You will be able to see details in the surrounding area. You can zoom in and out. If you are in a car or train, you should find that you can continue your journey - even plan your route, to a certain extent - with zero additional data. The entire United Kingdom is encapsulated in less than 200 MB, depending on CoPilot.

factor Korea

That was certainly my experience earlier this week in Korea, where Samsung has had a visit from an iPhone with iOS 6, which had no data contract. One night, I saw the highlights of North and South Korea (Apple cards are more detailed than Google does for North Korea, it is just a blank white). The next day, zero data coverage, we took a bus trip to a production Samsung.

The day begins in Seoul bus. I took over 100 pictures on this trip with a zoom at all levels of detail. It is the smallest, as shown.

and zoom out. The lower edge of the screen is not filled - but after a while ago

approach just to see where we are. Again, this is all done by the vector data included with the original download from last night.

federal hate to reveal this information, because of successful lawsuits by the ACLU, Department of Justice was forced to disclose information on the frequency of monitoring electronic communications of U.S. citizens without a warrant - ". trap and trace "with what is known as" pen register "and this type of monitoring is not a real communication (which is the NSA, apparently), but only the information that is communicated. For various reasons, this information is considered can get without a warrant. As expected, the data show an increase in the mass surveillance rather such by the Department of Justice.

The numbers are pretty amazing:

In fact, more people have been pen register and trap and trace surveillance in the last two years than in any previous decade.




And yet, whenever someone suggests that maybe, just maybe, there should be some control over this sort of thing to avoid abuse, the monsters outside of law enforcement. Maybe it really is because they know they abuse the possibility to spy on communications broadly, and I do not want to admit it. It was a request just Permalink |. Comments | Send this article

While you'd be forgiven for not knowing that John Rogers, which was published in these pages probably more than once. He is the director of research at the University of Illinois is already an innovator in the world of invisibility cloak and mobile technology. This time a team has cooked silicon, magnesium oxide, magnesium and silk circuit that is designed to dissolve in the body the same way as absorbable sutures are used in minor surgery. It is believed that the technology could eventually be used to implement monitors never eliminate, reduce invasive medical procedures, or even build devices that eventually become compost instead of e-waste - although we are not sure we appreciate our smartphone do the same thing when we call rain.

Looks like Panama is configured to transmit the Andres Guadamuz (Technollama) called "the law of copyright worst in history." Bill 510 gives the copyright office share files Panamanian right to directly sue and be fined up to $ 100,000 with money flowing directly to the Copyright Office in the form of obligations to employees. No financial flows rights holders and those who received a fine may still face civil action from copyright holders.

infojustice.org reports that Bill 510 was adopted by Congress and is awaiting approval by the Executive Committee. Minister of Trade and Industry, Ricardo Quijano, seemed satisfied with their way through Congress:

[W] e implementation of this new law, our country [Panama] should be updated in the context of international and global.

Marcela
Palacia door (written by infojustice.org) asked whether the minister's statement is correct:



's Trade Minister right? International standards are applied by this law? This law gives special powers to the administrative body responsible for registration, storage, monitoring and inspection of copyright, allowing it to impose fines for offenders in violation of the general principles of law as "non bis in idem" and "presumption of innocence". Can equity and justice lead a refining process where the beneficiaries fines are the leaders of the organization?
door is fine. No other country has given to the copyright office of the unchecked power as before. The granting of the same freedom of action to prosecute offenders and add directly to the cost borne by the bonus pool is unprecedented. Undoubtedly, the "international standards" are underway, many of them at the request of the U.S. government (Turn acts at the request of the MPAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce). The worst parts of the U.S. copyright was signed into effect last year and Panama seems to have taken the "free trade agreement" as a starting point, rather than what is really illogical extreme.

A new "cybercrime" bill introduced in the Philippines has increased penalties for defamation and gives excessive powers to the authorities to shut down websites and traffic control online.

According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), the penalties for online defamation amount to a serious threat to freedom of expression.

HRW Asia director, Brad Adams, said: "The Computer Crimes Act should be repealed or replaced Viola Filipinos rights to freedom of expression and is totally incompatible with the government's obligations the Philippines under international law. ".

a specific section that applies to defamation crimes "committed by a computer system or other similar means can be developed in the future."
