The more cameras, better? Find out if it's true or not.

The fashions are inherent to mobile photography as they are to so many aspects of a smartphone and one of the most recent and striking is to put triple rear camera, although we are seeing four and even more in terminals this year. Although the really striking beyond the optics are the current and future designs of the rear cameras, which apparently will not cease to surprise us.


In honeycomb, in "traffic light", excelling ... The options are diverse in order to overcome this current challenge of fitting both a component in such a small space (as explained in OnePlus) and also to differentiate. We review what we can see in the market and what leaks show us in the face of future designs for multiple rear cameras.

One of the manufacturers that has pushed this fashion of the multiple rear camera more is Huawei, with a Huawei P20 Pro that in 2018 boasted triple camera followed by a Huawei P30 Pro that does it with four this year. The design was familiar to us, since that third camera followed the vertical scheme for the double camera that we had seen in many smartphones before, although the Huawei Mate 20 Pro changed it by opting for a kind of central tile including the flash and remaining as a dice.

The fourth camera, starring the integration of a Time of Flight or ToF sensor (another of the most recent fashions) has not forced the manufacturer to change at the moment, since in the Huawei P30 Pro we see a design similar to that of its predecessor. But yes, apparently the next Mate 30 Pro will introduce changes in the design of the back to stay in a circular shape, according to the last leaked poster.

Nokia is a manufacturer with solera and it seems that in its new stage with HMD it still has some of that crazy innovation and design spirit. The last sample is the Nokia 9 Pureview, a device that confirmed a design that leaks made us very difficult to believe.

It is a hexagon in which five cameras are fitted, the flash and the depth sensor, so that each one is inserted in one of the vertices of the hexagon and also in the center of it in a double rhombus scheme. Very striking both in shape and number, but unlike many other manufacturers there is no bulge and all this is at the height of the back cover, without protruding and with some subtlety and sobriety within what fits.

In addition to this mobile, the brand's plans could include launching another with a peculiar rear. This is a possible Nokia 7.2 whose alleged photos circulated recently on the network and showed a rear module also circular like that rumored Mate 30 Pro and very similar to the Motorola, as we will see now.


There are two manufacturers whose rear designs bring more expectation for this year by assuming more drastic changes, and coincidentally despite being nemesis they have apparently thought of very similar solutions. We talk about everything that is rumored about the iPhone 11 and what has been leaked and confirmed from the Pixel 4: that outstanding tile-shaped module that reminds a bit of a glass ceramic for its glass finish on black.

In the case of Google it was the company itself that confirmed it last June with a tweet, although without specifying which lenses will integrate that striking module (apparently they are two cameras and a flash). Something similar is said about the next Apple smartphones, with hundreds of renders created by users based on leaks that speak of a triangle arrangement inside this outstanding tile, adding the wide angle to its telephoto lens and its standard lens.

We will see how this evolves. Some of the leaks are repeated and could be confirmed in months, thus seeing a greater diversity in the rear parts and putting into current debate the question of whether the aesthetics and design of these cameras really matter to the end user, given that in the end what really A priority on many occasions is that the photographic scheme gives the versatility and photographic quality that it promises.

FILTERED: The Samsung Galaxy X will have a folding and enveloping screen

The Samsung Galaxy X will have an enveloping screen

We have been hearing rumors for a long time about the possibility of Samsung launching a flexible screen phone. We know its final name, Samsung Galaxy X, and we have seen some possible designs of this phone with folding screen. But this new patent from Samsung could reveal the final design of the Samsung Galaxy X that would be characterized by having an enveloping screen.

This new patent, which has been leaked today, shows a smartphone with a screen that wraps the device on both sides. Presented at the United States Patent and Trademark Office on September 2, 2016, this could be the definitive design of the Samsung Galaxy X, or a different version of the flexible screen phone from the Korean manufacturer.

Will this be the final design of the Samsung Galaxy X?

As you will have seen in the conceptual drawings that accompany this article, this version of the Samsung Galaxy X would have a large main screen on the front of the phone that would wrap in the back occupying half of the back side. This way we would have a front panel to visualize contents and, possibly, the back part would be destined to give a similar use to what we saw at the time in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge being able to read notifications and emails in addition to accessing certain applications.

The Samsung Galaxy X appears on the manufacturer's website

We know that Samsung intends to launch a flexible screen phone throughout the next year, 2018 and already in 2013, within the framework of the CES in Las Vegas, the giant based in Seoul presented the Galaxy Youm, the first screen with AMOLED screen flexible. So it is not so crazy the idea that the Korean manufacturer bet on different models of your Samsung Galaxy X. More if we consider that they will make very few units of this smarphone with folding screen.

We have already seen the possible user interface of the Samsung Galaxy X, which shows a design very similar to ZTE Axon M, so it is likely that this filtered patent may end up being another version of the Samsung Galaxy X. Could it be a model with a 6-inch screen oriented to view multimedia content or read books?

Samsung begins to make prototypes of its mobile phone with folding screen

And to you, what do you think about this possible design of the Samsung Galaxy X? Do you think that a design of this type would be successful in the market?

Filtered the first Samsung Galaxy S9: Details

Almost without giving a break and when we are still reading analysis of the iPhone X and even the Galaxy Note 8, Samsung would be working already in the heir of the Galaxy S8 and attentive to what is coming, since the Korean giant would provide important new face to user. Although they have not transcended details about the possible aesthetic aspect of the terminal, yes they have leaked, in key of rumor, aspects on their benefits. The first of the novelties would come in the form in which the user unlocks the mobile and in this sense, Samsung would significantly improve what has been offered to date.

According to information published by the Korean Herald, the device would come equipped with a system for unlocking the mobile phone by means of the iris, which would significantly improve what Samsung has offered to date. The manufacturer continues to defend that the iris is still the surest way to identify the user and therefore continues to bet on this system, despite the limited results it offers. Samsung offers the user both the Galaxy S8 and the Note 8 - the company's two flagships - up to four ways to unlock phones (ordered from less to more secure): by facial identification, PIN or pattern, fingerprint recognition and finally, iris recognition.

The device would come equipped with a system for unlocking the mobile phone through the iris, which would significantly improve what Samsung has offered to date.

However, despite the available options, the user does not just reconcile with the last two terminals: identification by fingerprint by the location of the reader (it is in a remote position) and unblocking by the iris because it is not very precise and forces the user to look in front of the mobile by opening his eyes a lot (again, a forced position). So things, Apple once again demonstrated its historic ability to make easy the difficult, presenting the FaceID, a unique way to unlock the phone through the face that equips the iPhone X. The Cupertino giant ensures that this system is much more reliable that the fingerprint reader, but what surprises is how effectively it works and the manufacturer's faith in the system, which Apple presents as the only way to unlock the computer (along with the code).

The new recognition system that would equip the Galaxy S9 would work without problems in low light conditions and when the user wears glasses or moved his eyes, and as we have pointed out, Samsung is betting on this form of unlocking as the safest possible. But this would not be the only novelty of the team, and another parallel rumor suggests that, in addition to the iris, the new model could equip a fingerprint reader integrated into the terminal's own screen. Recall that one of the achievements of Apple with the iPhone X has been to remove the 'home' button to expand the screen size, forcing us to dispense with the TouchID. Well, Samsung could choose to move the sensor footprint to the front and under the screen, as suggested in another rumor on account of the announcement by Synaptics to be working on a sensor of this type for one of the leading manufacturers of mobiles in devices with "infinite screen".

But the novelties do not end here, since it is also expected that the new Galaxy could equip a Qualcomm 845 chip, which, among other functions, would support the ultra-fast Quickcharge 4+ charge. How would the user benefit? Although the real benefits of this charging system are still unknown, it is estimated that the Galaxy S9 could be fully charged in less than an hour, although to get out of a hurry, in half an hour there could be enough charge to end the day.

Available already iOS 11 in its eighth update in three months: iOS 11.2.1 already available

The latest version of Apple's operating system has received so many patches that it starts to look like my amended childhood pants.

Trouble in paradise?

Apple released on Wednesday the eighth update for iOS 11 after last week it was released a bug that endangered products using HomeKit.

iOS 11.2.1, already available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, can be downloaded from the device itself although it is always advisable to backup the information beforehand. Apple said last week that these days it would release this update.

Not counting the iOS 11 version itself, Apple has released eight updates due to several security and performance issues, although not all related to this issue-iOS 11.2, for example, was released with the premise of adding new emojis.

However, iOS 11 could be the version with the most updates to date: iOS 11.0.1, iOS 11.0.2, iOS 11.0.3, iOS 11.1, iOS 11.1.1, iOS 11.1.2, iOS 11.2 and the newly released of the iOS 11.2.1 oven. More those that are missing; Apple usually stops updating until it reaches X.3 or X.4.

On Wednesday also, Apple released tvOS 11.2.1, an update that is coupled to iOS 11.2.1 by bringing a security patch related to the vulnerability located in HomeKit, since the streaming box also has compatibility with household objects.

What we know about the iPhone of 2018: screen and launch versions

In the midst of this rumor, we must put a little clarity: how many versions will there be? Which ones will have OLED screen? How will your cameras be?

The iPhone X takes just over a month in the market and despite this the atmosphere of rumors already speaks about its replacement for next year as Apple's latest phone.

As time goes by, the iPhone X becomes the new phone to be supplanted by Apple, so the creative and engineering machinery at Apple is already advancing at full steam to have a better phone ready by the fall of 2018 and, According to rumors, the iPhone X paints a clear picture of how the next Apple phones will be for the coming year.

The rumors about the expected phone come from different fronts, some more credible than others and, as time goes by, the information takes shape reinforcing the most credible information and discarding the less reliable reports, then we collect the most important.

Apple will launch three phones, two with OLED and one with LCD

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, there will be a model of 6.5 inches and 5.8 inches with OLED screen, but also one of 6.1 inches with LCD. The three iPhone will be without bezels.

Apple will put Face ID and better batteries in iPhones 2018

Reports suggest that the three iPhones of 2018 will have a longer battery in the form of L, in addition to the integration of facial recognition.

iPhone 'cheap' in 2018 will have metal casing

An alleged 6.1-inch LCD screen would return to the metal of the iPhone 7 and leave behind the glass of the iPhone X, a detail that would make them cheaper, but certainly not necessarily affordable.

2018 iPhones will have better wireless signals

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that the 2018 iPhones will have a different metal frame to improve the transmission of wireless signals.

The 2018 iPhone will not have a modified camera

Ming-Chi Kuo says that Apple will keep the same rear camera design so as not to complicate the production of the next cell phones.

The iPhone would have 3D functions in the rear camera

Bloomberg says Apple is researching a technology to place third-dimensional functions on an iPhone that would launch in 2019.

Apple will launch the iPhone SE 2 in June

The Chinese newspaper 'The Economic Daily News' says that the new generation of the 4-inch cell would cost around US $ 450 and would be manufactured in India.

Apple works with Intel for 5G modems in upcoming iPhone

Apple engineers would be more engaged in working with Intel and would be limiting what they do with Qualcomm.

Wow! Samsung gives 200 Galaxy Note 8 to passengers on a flight

Monday in the morning. Still half asleep passengers of a flight of the company Iberia from the city of Madrid to A Coruña, Galicia, can not imagine, but today they will not have breakfast: they will each receive a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 .

The surprise is part of a campaign by Samsung with the airline Iberia, which for a few days has shown in its aircraft advertising Galaxy Note 8. "A year ago we asked you to turn it off, we welcome you today on board," says the information that accompanies the phone box and have posted several users on social networks.

Last year with the Galaxy Note 7 explosive, Samsung had to issue an international requirement for all phones to be returned, and asked its users not to use them on flights. In the United States, for example, the authorities banned them, so the company had to place device changeover points in several airports in this country.

Of course the tag # Note8Added quickly became a trend on Twitter, thanks in part to the fact that many of the 200 passengers tweeted about the surprise. Celestino García, corporate vice president of Samsung Spain, also traveled on the flight, and made Twitter known the action. In addition to our analysis, we spent 15 days testing the Galaxy Note 8 intensively, and this is our opinion of the team.


Will there be more flights with Galaxy Note 8 handsets? I would like my next flight to give me a Note 8.

iPhone X will be in stock at Apple stores on November 3rd

Despite continued reports of constrained supply of the iPhone X ahead of its November 3rd launch, Apple today confirmed that its retail stores will have the device in stock on day one for walk-in customers. Well, it’ll be in stock for the first few people in line, anyway. Apple’s press release says that anyone hoping to walk into an Apple Store and walk out with an iPhone X next Friday is “encouraged to arrive early.” That’s right: the lines of hopeful iPhone buyers camping out overnight are about to make a big comeback after what many perceived to be soft demand for the iPhone 8’s arrival last month.
It’s nice to see that Apple is already confirming that its retail stores will have at least some iPhone X stock to go around. In previous years, certain new iPhone models have completely sold out from preorders and been unavailable for walk-in buyers on release day. The iPhone 7 Plus (and all jet black iPhones) faced this initial shortage in 2016.

The iPhone X goes up for preorder at 12:01AM PT (3:01AM ET) this Friday, October 27th from Apple and authorized resellers. At Apple’s stores, the device will officially go on sale at 8:00AM local time on the 3rd.

The iPhone 6s Plus Exceeds the Galaxy S7 Edge in a Speed Test

The new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge does not reach the market officially until later this week, but who has already been done with a unit and are starting to appear the first comparative video, as you taught them this morning of a test resistance to iPhone 6s Plus. This time we bring you another video, this time a speed test that pits the iPhone 6s Plus with S7 Edge Galaxy, the Nexus 6P and Moto X Pure Edition.
 






However, although the video there are four devices in total, iPadizate we will focus only on the iPhone 6s Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the new flagship presented by the South Korean company a few days ago only. So we do not entertain us and we will see how the Galaxy S7 Edge fights back with respect to speed versus iPhone 6s Plus, which has lasted about six months on the market.The iPhone 6s Plus gives a review of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in a speed test. 

Which of the two smartphone has a faster response?

 As has been seen in some comparisons speed test the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has nothing to deal with the iPhone 6s Plus, even though the mobile Apple has already half a year on the market and that has half RAM, 2GB 4GB versus new smartphone from Samsung.

In the video that accompanies this news a comparative response speed is different actions of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, iPhone 6s Plus, the Moto X Pure Edition and the Nexus 6P, these three last released in 2015. The four devices are factory reset, running without a SIM card and you only have installed additional applications that appear in the test (Instagram, Netflix or Temple Run, among others), which is basically open and close applications and games to see how long it takes.




The iPhone 6s Plus outperforms its competitors in this video, finishing the test in 1 minute and 42 seconds, while the Galaxy S7 Edge was behind with 18 seconds apart. Watching this video it is clear how Apple takes full advantage of all the hardware that is part of the iPhone but not the cutting edge and working together that makes the software, in this case iOS in September.



Without going any further, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge comes with a 4GB RAM, while the iPhone 6s Plus has 2GB of RAM. We must also not forget that both devices use different processors and operating systems.

This could be the next LG G5: modular but "unibody"?

 

The new flagship of the South Korean maintain some aspects such as camera, fingerprint reader installed and reduce the size of your screen

 Beyond the iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 future, possibly they repeat one more season as the best-selling smart phones, the major manufacturers are starting to prepare their new flagship. One that possibly be a significant leap in innovation will be G5 LG, next terminal high-end LG, whose main novelty is a chassis of the type 'unibody' but, unlike its rivals, it may remove the battery.
According to the latest leaks that swarm over the Internet, the South Korean giant could launch in the coming months, coinciding with the new edition of the Mobile World Congress, to be held in Barcelona from 22 to Feb. 25, its new flagship for this season . The concept of "smartphone" is changing and proposals as Ara Project of Google, trying modular terminals, allowing set piece by piece, as if it were a conventional computer arise.
Without reaching that level, the LG G5 will, according to rumors, a more modular design. Although they can discard and replace broken parts, the "smartphone" can allow itself to remove the battery from the bottom with just remove a piece, as if it were a cover. And that will be built on a chassis of the type "unibody", that is, in one piece, like the current iPhone 6S and Samsung S6.
In addition to this proposal, the next could be mobile, based on these leaks, totally different from the current LG G4. The LG G5, on the other hand, could hold dual camera with two sensors, one would come to 16 megapixels and an 8 megapixel. With a 5.29-inch screen instead of the current 5.5-inch, there is talk of a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and a RAM of 3GB. In terms of processor, most likely uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, one of the stars components for this year and fingerprint reader, and even heart rate sensor.

A robot cooked me a tasty Kung Pao chicken

Las Vegas — Someday, a robot will cook you dinner and, if you're lucky, it'll be Chinese food.

That's the promise of OneCook, a new robotic chef that can blend and cook ingredients and serve you a finished meal.

Developed by TNL Corp., OneCook isn't much to look at. The working prototype is a large, round, white device that, coincidentally, resembles a rice cooker. The team had a sleeker, non-working version at CES 2016's Eureka Park (where CES houses all the startups), but they directed me to the back of the conference hall where the TNL Corp. team was about to use OneCook to prepare a meal.

TNL Corp. founder and inventor Hanlin Hong told me that the whole process should take five or six minutes. So I parked myself and waited to taste some robot cooking.

Hong explained that the device works with an app that has meal options supplied by the company. You order what you want to cook and the 4.5-liter, pre-packaged ingredients arrive at your home. Each pack costs between $8 and $10. For the purposes of this demonstration, they would make Kong Pao chicken and use a small pack of chopped red and yellow peppers, peanuts, parboiled chicken pieces and sauce.

I watched as they put each ingredient into its own metal container, lifted the big lid on the OneCook and then carefully placed each one inside. The Wi-Fi in the hall was abysmal and it took some doing to upload the recipe to the robot. Soon, though, Hong closed the lid and announced that the cooking process had begun. An LED timer on top indicated that I’d have to wait approximately five-and-a-half minutes.

Hong opened the lid to show me that the robot was already heating and stirring the peppers and sauce. The speed and heat can all be adjusted through the connected app. Soon the OneCook robot had dropped in the chicken and then, finally, the peanuts. It smelled good.

When the cooking process was finished (after exactly 5 minutes and 30 seconds), Hong opened the front of the robot and pulled out what looked like a steaming hot aluminum pot. Then he ladled the finished meal onto a plate. Each ingredient pack can, depending on the meal, serve as many as four people.

Hong passed out toothpicks and encouraged us to dig in. I skewered a piece of chicken and some red pepper. The food was hot, spicy and pretty tasty, though I would say the chicken was a little over-cooked.

All-in-all pretty impressive. OneCook is not the first robot cooking device I’ve seen. Two years ago, I tried out the Rotimatic, robotic naan maker. The difference between the two devices is that Rotimatic can only make Roti, while OneCook can handle pretty much any ingredients you put into it, as long as it has the recipe program.


When OneCook finally goes on sale it will cost between $200 and $400, though Hong promised a pre-sale deal of $99 to $199.
Honestly, the Kung Pao was good enough that I’d be in for $199.

How to Age Backward

Lying about your age is about to get a whole lot easier. Groundbreaking research suggests that you can shave years off your biological age—and looks—with a few simple lifestyle changes. "The body has tremendous reparative capabilities not just to stave off the effects of aging but to reverse them," says plastic surgeon Darrick Antell, an assistant professor at New York's Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Best of all, you can begin now.

THE DIET THAT WORKS Some of the most intriguing research involves telomeres, the caps at the ends of chromosomes that protect our DNA from damage. Although telomeres shorten naturally with age, smoking, stress, and obesity can speed up the process. "Short telomeres have been associated with higher risks of chronic diseases, including diabetes and some cancers," says Cindy Leung, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. Studies have concluded that shorter telomeres can also make us look older. "You know how some people who are 70 look 90?" says Immaculata De Vivo, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "They probably have shorter telomeres." While we have long known that the Mediterranean diet—rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains, fish, and olive oil, and a moderate amount of red wine—improves health, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston recently discovered that it may be even more effective than other healthy diets at preventing accelerated telomere shortening. "Women on the diet had longer telomeres. Our study showed that it's possible to take a year and a half off your biological age with modest changes to your diet," says De Vivo, the study's senior author. Researchers haven't yet isolated which components of the diet appear to be the most effective, but the women who adhered to it most closely had the longest telomeres. And swap your soda for that glass of cabernet: According to another study, sugary sodas don't just widen your waistline; they also shorten your telomeres. "Our findings show that someone who drank just eight ounces of sugary soda a day had shorter telomeres than someone who drank no soda," says Leung, one of the study's authors. "Drinking 20 ounces was associated with 4.6 years of additional biological aging, an effect comparable to that of smoking."

A PILL WITH PROMISE Of course, anytime there's an effective diet, there's sure to be a pill promising the same—or better—results. Enter TA-65, a nutritional supplement that proponents claim can not only slow telomere shortening but actually lengthen existing ones. Available without a prescription, TA-65 is derived from astragalus root extract, a powerful antioxidant, and is said to work by activating the enzyme telomerase, which counteracts telomere shortening. Joseph Raffaele, an internist and cofounder of PhysioAge Medical Group in New York, has studied TA-65 since 2007 and says his research shows that people who take TA-65 have "a decrease in blood pressure, cholesterol, and fasting glucose as well as an increase in bone density." Ron Rothenberg, founder and medical director of the California HealthSpan Institute in Encinitas, is also a believer, and says that it's never too late to start. "It works best when it's used with other healthy lifestyle choices, not in isolation," explains Rothenberg. All this purported telo lengthening is not without controversy. Some doctors are concerned because telomerase activity has been associated with a higher risk of cancer; they recommend waiting until more studies are completed.

TRICKS TO YOUNGER SKIN One thing there is no controversy about: the antiaging benefits of exercise. Research indicates that staying active can preserve everything from mental acuity to muscle mass. Now, it seems, exercise can also take years off your complexion. Researchers at McMaster University Medical Center in Ontario, Canada, found that people who took part in moderate endurance exercise for 30 to 45 minutes twice a week for three months developed younger-looking skin. "At the microscopic level, their skin was about 20 years younger," says neurologist Mark Tarnopolsky, the study's lead author. "It makes sense to do endurance exercise—biking, running, the elliptical—at least twice a week." A visit to the dermatologist can also encourage your skin to act younger. Lasers like Fraxel and PicoSure stimulate collagen and elastin and provoke the skin to essentially age in reverse, says dermatologist Robert Anolik of New York's Laser & Skin Surgery Center. Sometimes going backward truly is the best way forward.

A machine learns like a human for the first time

A team of researchers from the University of Toronto and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) just got to create a computer model that is capable of emulating human capacity, so far only, to learn new concepts from a single example. The work was recently published in the journal Science.

Although the model can only, for now, learn the alphabet from handwritten characters, the underlying system could be expanded to build applications able to learn from others based on symbols, gestures, movements or systems languages, both written and Spoken. Quite a technological feat that marks the beginning of an era in which machines will be able to learn from their environment as do people.

 New concepts 

In recent years there have been significant and steady progress in methods of machine learning, but humans are still much better than when they assimilate new concepts. People, in fact, even children, need just one or two examples for this, whereas normally algorithms machines require dozens, or even hundreds, of different examples to "understand" a concept that had never faced before . What's more, once a person learns a concept for the first time, it is immediately able to apply it in many ways and different situations. Something that, until now, no machine was not able to do.

Indeed, it is precisely these uniquely human capacities which Brenden Lake and his colleagues have tried to "capture" in its new computer model. To do this, the researchers focused on a wide range of very simple visual symbols, such as handwritten alphabets worldwide characters. And they built the model so that I could learn this kind of visual signs, and carry out generalizations about them from a very small number of concrete examples. Scientists named their model BPL (Bayesian Learning Program), claiming that the program is able to "learn a whole category of visual symbols from a single example and then generalize from it in a way that is indistinguishable from that people use. "

After developing the BPL, Lake and his team approach compared how humans, BPL and other computerized systems faced learning five different challenges, including generating new examples of letters that have only been displayed a few times.

Like a person

 Scientists tell how, in a challenging task of classification "at a glance" the BPL model got the same level of performance that humans and far exceeded any result of deep machine learning achieved so far.

In fact, the computer model was able to classify, analyze and recreate handwritten characters and even managed to generate new alphabet letters "correct" appearance as the test of Touring type with which the results of BPL were compared with those managed human test subjects. "In many cases He stated in the article Science- creative skills and generalization were indistinguishable from those that are characteristic of human behavior."

What Facebook does not want you to know: thus it worsened its privacy policy

If users actually read the privacy policy that accepts when discharged into a social network, maybe something would change. And if they were abreast of the changes that occur in such conditions year after year, many would raise serious follow up.
 The findings "Really you agreed with it? The evolution of Facebook privacy policy "(Did you really agree to that? The Evolution of Faceboook's Privacy Policy) prepared by Harvard University they are far less alarming. And it is that the authors claim that the popular social network has worsened its privacy policy from 2005-2015.To reach this result, Jennifer Shore and Jill Steinman, the authors have compared the conditions imposed by Mark Zuckerberg with the document on the Rights of Patient Privacy (Patient Privacy Rights, PPR), which dates from 2008 and establishes measures for which companies must abide by when using personal information from users without infringing their privacy as, for example, if certain information will be shared with third parties or be used for advertising purposes.On this basis, the researchers classified each point of the Facebook privacy policy on each of the aspects established by the PPR and on a scale from 0 to 4. Thus, concluded that Facebook suspended in 22 criteria."Our findings suggest that Facebook privacy policy is less transparent and more difficult to understand for users, including the option of the use of personal information towards third parties", the researchers say.

    Facebook uses the data of users to all types of research"The, problem, or reality, is that there are no legal restrictions on your use Facebook with our data," recalls Manuela Battaglini in this sense, social media expert and President of AERCO-PSM (Spanish Association of Communities Online and Social Media Professionals). "In terms of US legislation he continues, if Facebook meets its terms of service, there is no problem. But in Europe there is some. " And it is true. Do not forget that recently a Belgian court found that Facebook tracks to Belgians who have no account in the popular social network thanks to the "cookies". "Each time a user clicks 'like' on a website, their browsing activity is collected, whether or not registered in Facebook, although they argue that the use of 'cookies' is for security reasons. The same happened with Austria, "recalls the expert.The findings should not catch us by surprise if leyésemos privacy policy. "We should do it basically to be aware of what they will do with our data and information so you know what else (besides mandatory), we give Facebook, and what kind of information we publish." 

Facebook is watching usThe reality is that those chains that occasionally arise in the walls of many users in order to overrule the social network of some use of personal information nuetstra not worth anything. "It is best to learn outside of the social network of all the pros and cons, and if you decide to join it, use our information with great caution and responsibility knowing that every point that we publish will be subject to study and to know that Facebook installed cookies and even study tracking our browsing habits outside the social network to go transforming our interaction experience, "recalls Battaglini.

    We must be cautious and responsbales with the information given in the social network that will be used by FacebookIf you accept the terms, the user should be very clear about one thing: losing control over their data. "What we mean Facebook is that once you say that you agree with their privacy policy is to use all our data for all types of investigations with them. In fact, they say that when we accept, always ask permission to use information to improve their services, and it is completely false that are used without your permission, "said the president of AERCO-PSM.Although the popular social network "has learned from past mistakes and allows, for example, the user choose not to have ads aimed at him," it does not prevent, however, "collect information from our data, for example, through our surfing habits. "Do not forget that Facebook is a technology company and, as they say in this sector, "when something is free, the product is you." Battaglini remember that the network uses "information that can be gleaned from Facebook Ads studying what type of ads are more clicados by users in order to reorganize our timeline and the kind of news or information appears to have been more clicados in advertisements. Also it uses our surfing habits, even anonymous, because this way allows you to focus better and go through advertising. "

Is this the future Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus? It seems that yes

It seems that Samsung did not stop, and a few days ago we started seeing roam in networks renders Galaxy S7 made by a manufacturer of bags. Together with the future flagship of the Korean company Samsung Galaxy alleged S7 Plus, which could not get any pictures, so far mentioned.Fortunately, Steve Hemmerstoffer of nowhereelse.fr, published in his Twitter account,OnLeaks a lively render through CAD. The short video, which was produced in collaboration with uSwitch shows the Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus in all its glory.

It should be noted that the render is in no way confirmation of future product design or the terminal itself. Second, information about the alleged specifications is based on rumors and leaks have emerged recently, so it is possible they are not completely certain. 

¿6-inch screen?In the video a terminal, according to rumors, has a 6 inch screen displays, and its design reminds greatly to the current Galaxy S6. One difference to note is that no curved sides, but always be added later in any finished in Edge variant.

According to the latest leaks, Samsung is preparing to change its strategy a bit, because they produce a full-size Galaxy S6, between 5 and 5.5 inches, along with a 6-inch variant. Almost certainly, this new model is shown in the video above us.
 
USB type C, the eternal question

Also in the latest leaked images there is no change to USB type C, since a standard USB 2.0 port can be seen. However, the source SamMobile published a leak a few months in which he stated the existence of USB Type C in the future Galaxy S7 ago. This makes it probable that the leaked renderings are false.

In this new Samsung Galaxy also it is seen as the camera module protrudes far more than its predecessor, the Galaxy S6. We can also renders a home in more thin and rectangular button. In short, it seems that the future Galaxy S7 change little in the aesthetic section.


Similarly, the idea of a Samsung Galaxy size "Plus" is not very hard to believe, however, keep in mind that the Korean company does not take a terminal above six inches from the Galaxy Mega. For now, we will have to wait a few months to find out some more information.

Surface Pro 4: the evolution towards future computer

 Ten years we talking about the "post-PC" era. And, to date, traditional computers, despite suffering some fluctuations in sales, still massed on the desktops of millions of homes and businesses. Used primarily for work purposes, these machines continue to seek successor. The concept of computing the new Surface Pro 4 delves into the tactile world and extreme mobility.

With few cosmetic changes from the previous device, Microsoft has sought this year to make this hybrid tablet-notebook thinner (8.4 mm) and lightweight (766 grams) device. Manageable despite its 12.3-inch screen, the device has a stylus used for various purposes, such as making freehand notes, make sketches and sketches, or simply design. In addition, you can delete the back like a conventional pencil mine. With a latency and sufficient sensitivity (1024 levels of pressure), losing steam compared with rival iPad Pro, but in general performs very well. It has a hinged foot can be placed in multiple positions. This has been redesigned and is another of the great innovations.Is this the reinvention of the computer?

Well, for many users it is far removed from how they use the computer during working hours. For others, this is the right path. Unify in one device the virtues of both land (tablet and laptop) is a good reason to keep it in mind. The idea conceived for tablets has been, however, rather short for professional purposes. Compared with the previous model, we can confirm that it is quieter and less overheated.

Studies of habits proclaim that most tablet users use them to surf the Internet, see some other series and discharged a couple of applications from time to time. And little more, really. As a working tool are not prepared enough to process some information and work in many others. That's where attacks Microsoft for the third consecutive year. Granting the handling on a computer. And it does, above all, with options such as working with multiple windows open simultaneously.

In the Surface Pro 4 can install programs and traditional desktop software, thanks to its good performance (in testing was available had the Intel i5 processor version), guarantee the fluidity thereof. The device has a USB port, which in turn is used to transfer data, a handy feature and lacking tablets.

It incorporates the new Windows 10 operating system and therefore their services preinstalled. From Edge, as it is now called the Internet Explorer browser, you can easily take notes on the pages consulted, copy the images, highlight, and later transport them to OneNote, service notes. Giving access, in turn, other services like Office which requires licensee or Xbox -from where you can view the available-games. The keyboard, an essential accessory to take advantage, has profoundly improved "trackpad" to behave in a more effective way, thus its handling is even easier and extends the possibilities.

But perhaps it is a dispensable option, Surface Pro 4 has a sensor that can quickly unlock the screen through facial recognition, trying to forget the cumbersome having to continually enter your PIN or password. But where more emphasis has been done this season has been the most natural introduction of Cortana, the virtual assistant, who with a little touch is activated so that the user can add events, request information from the Internet or open certain applications. In Spain it is possible to be done with the new Surface Pro 4 from 999,00 euros.
