postheadericon RIAA Apparently Forgot To Tell Six Strikes Coordinators That The 'Independent' Firm It Hired Used To Lobby For The RIAA

TorrentFreak broke a little surprising, but surprisingly, the story of the discovery this week that Stroz Friedberg, "the independent expert and impartial technical" is supposed to have been an assistant at the Center for Copyright Information (CCI) ensure that the new "six strikes" followed by the BitTorrent program should be used to support the RIAA. Apparently, some new IAC took people by surprise, as the RIAA did not mention this tidbit of information . now apparently CCI will endeavor to do things - or find someone new, or "openness" of the journal Stroz Friedberg is public scrutiny. anyway, it is quite surprising that the RIAA thought nobody notices that the "impartial and independent" expert just happened to be part biased lobbied directly by them in the past.

postheadericon Pakistan To Start Monitoring All Emails, Phone Calls & 'Other Communications' With Foreigners

You remember that a year ago, Pakistan announced that encryption not online. Not that this ban is likely to be effective, but it seems to correspond to the assertion that the government said PTCL, the telecommunications company of Pakistan, in 90 days you must monitor all communications mainly through the border with Pakistan:

All e-mails, telephone calls and other communications with the rest of the world will begin to monitor within 90 days at a cost of several million dollars, according to a time determined by public operators as PTCL.

The government has allocated PTCL and other operators to install monitoring equipment at the end of this year to control voice communications and email outside and services the country's spy agency will be used primarily to monitor and control sites profane or obscene Internet.



Yes, of course, only to "curb profane or obscene websites." I'm sure that all monitoring is not abused in every .. . right? somehow, despite the ban, I think encryption technology has become much more popular in Pakistan

postheadericon Building apps with rail data


Jamie Andrews

about what happened when developers have encountered trains

of journalism data and data visualization The Guardian

Trainspot.in screenshots

recently organized a day off on Rails thing to make the data stream better and see what can be built with it. I am surprised by the variety and quality of production, mainly due to the complexity of the issue, and the fact that many developers had not built a front associated software.

so check all the hacks being impressive, useful and fun, and marvel at what can be done when the data is open and great minds working together ...

Hack # 1 - Trainspot.in ... FourSquare for trains

What?

A very smart thing that allows users to register on a train. The resulting platform API / could be used to build all kinds of interesting applications, all trainspotters exciting to win badges and social recognition of run trains whenever possible. Try it yourself here! Sleeper map

Who?

James Smith, Chris Adams, and Florian Rathgeber Neil Ford

data / technology used:

This implementation uses many sophisticated data Network Rail, an existing API built by Tom Cairns (see Hack # 6) and combines them with the geolocation HTML5, allowing users to connect from any compatible browser. STOMP tells the application every time a train enters or leaves a station. The station then corresponds to NaPTAN dataset (conversion STANOX-> TIPLOC on the way) to find a location for each station, and thus each train. Aa>

Scenic railways iPhone app

Next steps: not quite clear yet, but there is a lot of potential ...

Hack # 2 - Cards Travel Plan with the following lines tracks

What?

StreetMap data extraction method open to graphically and allow it to be used in applications for travel planning.

Realtime Dutch trains

Who?

Matthew Westcott, Jon Leighton and other

data / technology used: Open Street Map data downloaded Geofabrik Wales. Nodes / edges vector data extracted and put into PostGIS.

Github

Next steps: ()

Improving

requests for it to take less than a month of treatment to apply this solution to all European OSM

Hack # 3 - Tourist trains

Real time trains

What?

An application that tells you what to look out the window. There is a real live website to try and you can read more about it in this blog.

Who?

James Jeffries, Frankie Roberto, Jez Nicholson, and Joe Hughes

data / technologies used:

Ruby on Rails, Objective-C (fictitious data for the moment)

Github

https://github.com/frankieroberto/scenic-railways

Next steps:

routes appropriate link to open train data so that users can start adding your own points of interest

Hack # 4 - Realtime Dutch trains

What?

A simple but very easy to use, showing live departure boards for all railway stations in Dutch astonishing API provided by the railway company Dutch, NS. Discover the real-time web trains Dutch living at that time and very helpful if you take the train to the Netherlands.

Who?

Ian

Shortman

Data / technologies used:

NS API. Other technologies are not specified, but probably similar to the technology behind trains.im (PHP / MySQL and Bootstrap)

Next steps:

Using a similar approach for real-time data from the United Kingdom if / when an appropriate API is available (see Hack # 6 below)

Hack # 5 - ChooChooTune




What?

Lee and Nial of Pinkfroot

data / technologies used:

Transportapi.com data (part JSON, HTML scratched part), mashed with Rdio API


Next steps: Jump on a train and listen to some tunes! (The next steps of the application is trying to decide ...)

Google bumps Android to 42, keeps Jelly Bean moniker

Well, Key Lime Pie not, but Android 4.2 is certainly a pleasure in itself. The latest version of mobile operating system Google made a number of evolutionary improvements to its already impressive repertoire - including a new Quick Setup menu can be accessed from the drop-down notification and support for multiple profiles user. Supports multiple users is particularly useful for tablets that the new Nexus 10, which are much more likely to be shared, and we now offer fast user switching and easily from the lock screen. If you do not want to share your tablet, all that is in it, the new support for brands allow wireless Miracast movies, games, or do anything else to a compatible display. The user interface 10-inch tablet also received a slight pinch, the design approach and the Nexus phones 7 with navigation and focusing on the notification area at the top. It may seem strange that people use to design the style Honeycomb tablet, but the new design is much simpler and provides a consistent user experience across devices.

Google has also reviewed the photographic experience and added Photo Sphere - a 360 degree panorama mode captures everything around you. Obviously, you will be able to publish these photos in Google+, but also be able to add Google Maps, essentially creating their own personal point of view street. Interestingly, Google has also taken a page from the playbook of Swype, adding that "strike action" on your keyboard. There is also a new screensaver called Daydream offering news, pictures, and other content when a device is connected or inactive.

source Perhaps the greatest improvements, creeping and Google are now, you can check your Gmail for relevant content, such as flight numbers. Reservation of hotels and restaurants are now presented as maps, as packets en route to his humble abode. Service even remind you of events you have purchased tickets, essentially making calendar redundant much of your personal life. For more information, see the links source.

postheadericon Review: Ashampoo Uninstaller 5 makes program removal easy

Ashampoo Uninstaller 5 is its existence to do a better job of uninstalling programs that uninstallation procedures provided by the programs themselves. Maybe I installed programs to test 5 Windows 7 Uninstaller uninstall routines was very good, but do not seem Uninstaller 5 not better they work. But there are some auxiliary functions are very useful.

Ashampoo Uninstaller 5 Facilities monitors so you can uninstall programs completely when you are finished with them.

5 Ashampoo Uninstaller works best when you use the service of installation supervision, as "logs" of the installation. Without registration, the program works essentially the uninstaller provided by the software is being removed. Using one of these folders Uninstall provides very good results. I have not found any residual garbage that created by programs running after installation. But I have not found anyone with either normal uninstall.

unit registry cleaning and are also part of the package Ashampoo Uninstaller 5. But add all the files in the temporary folder to a list and saying to each of them as an individual problem, it is a bit exaggerated. However, as decent work cleaning trash your system, but there were many references to Nero 12 Platinumâ???? Which was installed before you install and uninstall Ashampoo Uninstaller 5, 5 Ashampoo Uninstaller without loga???? In the log after you run the registry cleaner.

postheadericon Vishera Review

AMD can do magic? Visit our in-depth Vishera pins.

On paper, the AMD Bulldozer microarchitecture always sounded like a mean machine, green. When he landed last year, however, as Zambezi processor (also known as the FX-8150), which was almost as fast as a bulldozer.

Vishera AMD

not give up and roll into a ball. The company returned to work polishing the chip in the new AMD FX-8350 FX "

Vishera

." The chip could be like a river Zambezi, but it has a better predictor branch better programmer, large L1 translation lookaside buffer and instructions FMA3 further improvements F16C, L2, among many other changes.

Vishera specs Vishera looks the same externally and good news. Will you use the same AM3 + socket too

The best feature is its backward compatibility Zambezi. Zambezi should work with most, if not all AM3 + boards with an updated BIOS and AMD chips promises future work with it too.


To see how the batteries until Zambezi, we used the same Asus Crosshair V board, we tested Bulldozer with more than a year and is equipped with a GeForce GTX 580, 8GB Dual Channel DDR3/1600, OCZ Vertex 3 and Windows 8. Why Windows 8? One question that arises with the original Bulldozer chip programmer Windows 7 does not know how to deal with the multi-core shared shovel.

Cinebench 10 Singlethread

chip comparison, dusted off our old FX-8150 and implemented a system almost identical Intel Intel Core i5 3570K-Asus P8Z77 is a V-Premium and Windows 8 also. Why 3570K? AMD chip is used as a reference for the FX-8350 and, frankly, our recommendation for the sweet spot of today's computers.

result? Firstly, FX-8150 is still slow. I could hardly compete with the Core i5-2500K and last year he took his chin in the test here almost all the Ivy Bridge Core i5-3570K base. In fact, it was so slow in Premiere Pro CS6 our encoding we had to re-run the tests, Intel and FX-8150 because I could not believe it.

Vishera look Cinebench 11.5

not. Deny the power of the individual cores Ivy Bridge if we ran Cinebench 10 on a single core FX processors and sacrificed so much Ivy Bridge. In several hearts of gaming benchmarks, more efficient Intel also put on top, but we saw parts FX unexpected halo graphics department which are generally all the same when it is used.How GPU FX-8350? Much better. In fact, I would say that the FX-8350 is very competitive compared to 3570K in highly threaded tasks and provides significant performance improvements over the FX-8150. Take, for example, Premiere Pro CS6 our reference. Do not delete the 3570K, but reduces the encoding time by half on the FX-8150. In other tests to have Ivy Bridge.

What is recommended? If your tasks are mainly limited to games and tasks that can operate eight cores, Intel has the advantage. However, if you're transcoding video or 3D rendering (except for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6), the new FX-8350 should be your choice. It has a road is longer and gives better performance in multi-threaded applications. What should be added, however, that the difference in performance is probably not as good as AMD fans would have expected given the clock and the fundamental difference between the number FX-8350 and Core i5 3570K-. However, these days AMD, a draw is probably good news given against Intel cores best to date.

For best diving on how you made Vishera, click to highlight our individual reference.

POV Ray 3.7

The previous version lets you run Cinebench 3D rendering engine across all available CPU threads or just one. We chose here to see the effectiveness of each "base" in the new FX-8350. Vishera has a slight advantage over AMD Bulldozer, which says that half due to higher clocks, and half of the improvements under the hood. The bad news, but it is quite clear on this graph. Despite a slight decline clocks, core Intel Ivy Bridge is part of the whole and Bulldozer Vishera.


Winner: Ivy Bridge


3D Mark Overall

3D Mark 11 Physics

3D Mark Graphics

To measure the performance of the processor when all threads are used, we find using the renderer Cinebench 11.5 by Maxon circuits. The Bulldozer eight core FX-8150 is trampled by the Core i5-3570K quad core Vishera revenge, but to excel in the Intel chip to a good pace.

STALKER

Valve Particle Test

Winner: Vishera

Heaven 3.0



Handbrake

The benchmark POV-Ray Raytracer is a freeware which has its roots in the Amiga. The benchmark uses all available threads in a CPU and the advantage of going eight-core chips. And no wonder she does. Vishera she won by a wide margin, although with more than four cores behind, Ivy Bridge is not too bad.

Winner: Vishera

X264 Pass 1

X264 Pass 2

Premiere Pro

What surprised us a little, but aced Vishera Bulldozer and Ivy Bridge chip. Since we used the same GeForce 580 with the same drivers for all tests, do not expect much difference.

ProShow Producer

Winner: Vishera and Bulldozer

Stitch

When we saw the result of physical test in 3DMark 11, we were even more confused. The physical test in 3DMark11 is the most time on the processor cores and earn more overall. But here we see the Intel in advance, even a little, along with AMD processors.

Winner: Ivy Bridge


7Zip

Our chef scraper became even more strange when we saw the results of 3DMark 11 graphics. Again, we used a set of GeForce GTX 580 has been verified ran at the same speed on each platform and the same drivers. CPU in clashes last five or six years, which usually leads to the same partition graph because it is all about the GPU. Indeed, although we have noted, generally reported no graphic 3DMark11 score because they are almost the same. However, both AMD chips have a distinct advantage. If we had used an ATI card, it could be attributed to the CPU performance optimizations secret sauce of equipment and graphics, but we used an Nvidia graphics card. And we know that Nvidia and ATI as they like Tupac and Biggie. Frankly, we have no idea why there is so much difference, but you can better drivers and / or better performance 990X chipset PCIe are the reason.

A single right-click on any Windows common'll tell you: When you start the installation of applications, the menu quickly becomes a dense jungle of random controls for many applications, as well as the New submenu. ShellNewHandler, a free utility, you can not do much about the first question, but can help reduce the number of entries in the submenuâ New? And it only takes a few seconds.

postheadericon Review: DayZ turns frustrating military game into top-notch survival horror

which lasted a little over three hours on my first day in the fictional state Chernarus Russian. I was told that this is fine, but just off the beach was alive victory for me. I shot without grabbing my arm bloody, but it was pure chance that I found running amok on a steep hill and dark forests until the pursuers lost face in the bushes and gray weeds. Exhausted, I lay in hiding but discovered I was injured and bleeding. When I learned to use my tape only bleeding.

steep learning curve, but I had absorbed my first lesson: Stay out of sight. My second lesson that day, when I realized that the sound of my rifle was a dinner bell. I'm dead in the street with broken legs, drowned in a crowd of screaming madness. Dayz brutal teaches by example. The exhibition is non-existent, but once you learn something, tends not to forgive.
