New page video on Bing involuntarily recalls the organization of the main competitor – Google YouTube, though here the emphasis is on a smaller number of professional content, while YouTube took popularity of the amateur clips, reports CyberSecurity. In Microsoft reported that video Bing were introduced several software solutions, previously used in the MSN Video. According to the corporation, taking into account the current expansion, the total number of suppliers of video for Bing exceeded 900.

Also, the company has finally realized the localized search technology, through which the user can search only the information that relates to areas where it currently is. For example, a user of any country, by typing the name of the movie or the series will receive information about the film is not at all, but about how, where and how the film or TV series can be seen in his country. Especially it will be useful when searching for weather forecasts, news and entertainment information, say in the corporation.

There have been some changes in the Bing Shopping, offering information about products and prices. These are now also based on localization. In addition, the expanded base of stores, publish their prices.

Now the most interesting: in the updated version of Bing users can actually use two search engines: actually Bing and a new predictive search engine Wolfram Alpha. The peculiarity of the latter is in its intellectuality. This search engine is different from everyone else that does not give the user the page, matching a search query, and he responds to the user’s question.

Search engine Wolfram Alpha grew out of the university environment, as Google. Moreover, Google founder Sergey Brin in a recent interview with the West said that in the early 1990s he worked on the problem of search algorithms with the mathematician Stephen tungsten – the founder of Wolfram Alpha. On the essence of cooperation Brin has not spread, but assured that the memories he has of that good work.

Unlike all other search engines from Wolfram Alpha is a fundamentally different issue of search engine results. Если пользователь традиционных систем введет поисковый запрос наподобие "Как мне попасть туда-то?", то система наверняка приведет его на сайт, рассказывающий о туристических компаниях, ценах и турах в ту или иную страну, тогда как Wolfram Alpha расскажет пользователю о стране destination, the likely routes and other tourist the information.

At the heart of the new development is technology “computational engine knowledge.” An unusual program, said the developer, calculates the number of responses on the fly, grabbing data sets from many public knowledge bases, licensed catalogs and encyclopedias. In addition, the program can connect to current information, such as news, weather forecasts or stock quotes. “People can use the system to search for simple facts, such as the height of Mount Everest, or some kind of complex information, such as projections for the economic development of a market or country,” – says Wolfram.

precise details on the licensing agreement between Microsoft and Wolfram Alpha not, however, the corporation said that the agreement will further diversify the search material available on Bing, on the other hand, it is obvious that the developers of “smart” search engine were financial remuneration from the Corporation for inclusion of their results in reports Bing. That money likely will be put on the further development of the Wolfram Alpha.

Stephen Wolfram pointed out that at least in its present form a search engine does not generate a lot of material for Microsoft, as well as practical tests showed that the system of linguistic analysis of queries work correctly about half the cases.

Microsoft says that disabled a small part of the more than 20 million accounts service. Offline accounts of gamers who modified the firmware of their consoles. After such an operation console allows you to run the games and programs are not formally distributed by Microsoft, and pirated versions of games. As a result, blocking users from the blacklist have lost the ability to connect to the Xbox Live service, and install games to the hard drive attachment. All the rest of its function, however, remained intact.

Network publication In Entertainment says that blocked users live in the U.S., Canada and Europe, reports Inbox.ru.

«So-called” wave Bans “consoles are around the world several times a year – said in an interview with a correspondent Infox.ru editor of the official Russia’s community of users of the Xbox 360 Xbox Russia Anna Sashko. – The current wave (Autumn) – it is expected, a similar wave of bans was in the past, and two years ago. Outages are not assessed as a violation by any player, namely the waves, when these players have a lot (thousands). Typically, a wave of bans can go a week or two. In each wave has Russian players, but the statistics on this issue no one else has, because Xbox Live service in Russia is not officially available ».

Russia’s players, despite the absence of formal Xbox Live in Russia, still enjoy the service by simply selecting the registration country in which he was officially granted. So that among the blocked users probably have a considerable number of citizens of Russia. Moreover, the problem of flashing boxes, according to Anna Sashko, for our country “more than actual».

«Genuine game in Russia is more expensive than in the West — about 2 thousand rubles, which is one of the reasons for piracy – said Anna Sashko. – Breaking console to run games – it is not “one of the reasons”: it is home and in 99% of cases the only reason “Ban” console ».

In Russia, on its own data Xbox Russia, sold about 200 thousand consoles from Microsoft. According to Anna Sashko, it is 49% of all sold in Russia gaming consoles.

According to experts, exploiting the vulnerability, attackers can organize DoS-attack on a remote computer.

It is noted that the attack can be implemented either through a local network or via the Internet, giving the car the victim formed a special way of data. The patch for the vulnerability yet. Microsoft, which has been studying the problem, stressed that the practical cases of exploitation “hole” is not fixed.

The presence of vulnerabilities in Windows 7 has learned the very next day after the release of the next portions “patches” for MS-products. Last Tuesday Microsoft patches are laid out for the dangerous “holes” in the Windows operating systems and different versions of office applications, you can download updates through the service Windows Update, Microsoft Update, and built-in Windows Automatic Updates.

Recall that in late July, three months before the official release, hackers broke into the activation of Windows 7. This was possible due to leakage of the image installation CD of Windows 7, intended for one of the major original equipment manufacturers – namely, the company Lenovo.

The procedure for bypassing the protection associated with the use of the rapid off-line activation of the OS, which is designed for OEM manufacturers. Activated way the platform is Windows Genuine Advantage validation and maintenance of the status of legal unlimited time, reports Kompyulenta ».

Once a DVD-drive system was available on the Internet , hackers were able to access the file boot.wim and extract from it the activation key from the certificate used by Microsoft and the manufacturers for early activation systems installed on the computers. The extracted key is the master key and can be used to activate the operating system on any computer, not just Lenovo, said the source. To activate Windows 7 uses the same technology as in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2.

The key can be used to activate both 32 – and 64 -bit versions, but does not work with Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Home Basic and Windows 7 Starter. Foreign media believe that before the release of the universal burglar left a little longer.

As previously reported, the new version of Windows 7 officially went on sale on October 22. It is designed to replace Windows Vista, available from Microsoft, less than three years ago, and causes users a wide variety of claims.

Windows 7 requires less time to dive into “sleep mode” and exit from it, as well as to restore the connection with wireless networks Wi-Fi, says Microsoft. Installation and preparation for work and other storage devices connected through connector USB «takes a few seconds, searching for information on your computer and sort the results occur” too much faster ».

There are programs and automatic shutdown if they are not in demand, which reduces the chance of “hang on” vehicles and, as noted in the corporation, “as compared to the new Vista operating system has become faster, as well as resource and energy efficient.

The new operating system comes in different models. Depending on the set of functions supported by additional retail price of Windows 7 in the U.S. should make $120-320.

Novelty called P2770HD and is an improved version of the model P2370HD. It has a screen diagonal of 27 inches that supports Full HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. The response time of the matrix expressed at 2 ms. The device contains a built-in TV tuner HDTV, and also equipped with HDMI interface for connecting other high definition signal source (computer, player Blu-Ray). Also available are Interfaces D-sub, DVI-D, component and composite video inputs, audio input, optical output and headphone output.

The monitor supports a maximum level of dynamic contrast ratio 50000: 1 and brightness of 300 cd/m2.

Also offers support for new modes of PIP (Picture in Picture) and PBP (Picture By Picture). Submitted by the device has reduced power consumption compared with monitors of the same diagonal at 43%, it consumes 56 watts of power, said ITC.ua.

It is reported that the monitor is Samsung SyncMaster P2770HD complete with a remote control is already on sale in Korea for $473. On sale period and the price level innovations in other regions has not been revealed.

This is the work of Kapteyn’s Star (HD 33793), opened in 1897, which belongs to the class of red subdwarfs. It is located in the constellation Pictoris at a distance of about 12 light years from Earth and not visible to the naked eye.

In this star has a few features. First, it moves around the galactic center in the opposite direction of the main mass of objects. Secondly, the star has a second after Kapteyn’s star Barnard’s own movement. This means that the coordinates of HD 33793 on the celestial sphere are changing very rapidly.

To determine the origin of the stars, scientists have analyzed the composition of the stars, as well as several stars, which belong to the so-called group Kapteyn – cluster of stars with large proper motion. As a result, they were able to determine that 14 out of 16 stars (including the star and Kapteyn), a native of Omega Centauri. This is the largest globular cluster in the Milky Way.

According to some theories, Omega Centauri is the core of the galaxy, which was acquired during our growth. The mass of the cluster is about 5 million solar, reports Lenta.ru.

Office 2004 added the security update that blocks the possibility of unauthorized external access through it to memory. Version 2008 also received minor updates in a more stable work programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Microsoft plans to release in late 2010 a new version of Office for the owners of the Mac.

Nokia has tried to look for six years in advance, providing 5-минутное видео, в котором рассказывается о телефонах будущего.

По замыслу Nokia, через несколько лет будет существовать единый ЦОД, связанный с финскими телефонами. In real-time intelligent system will be sent to the device relevant locations and occupations user information, for example, about traffic jams on the roads, news articles, wrote 3dnews.ru.

Nokia not against Release phones of different form factors for work and sports activities – information between them can be passed over a “key”. In the devices will be sensors that allow to recognize familiar people in a public place, micro-projectors to display video on the wall.

The basic idea is as follows – in the phones of the future will play a major role not so much specifications as services. At present, this trend could be easily traced to the popularity of iPhone.

Team Chicago scientist MakGuira Patrick (Patrick McGuire) is developing system for determining the chemical traces of life in unfavorable conditions, have informed the site of “Popular Mechanics”.

Such a system, in accordance to the authors, should include elements of artificial intelligence, and namely – Hopfilda neural networks, which will assume the task of “creatively” to compare new data with existing information and noticed all the essential differences between them, discarding all irrelevant.

MakGuir previously worked to create a sensor CRISM, working on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe, and engaged in studies of Martian mineralogy in the infrared and some other regions of the spectrum.

obtained in the process of working experience MakGuir plans to use in creating sensors and a new spacesuit – sensors that and put the information for the neural network. He describes his concept as a complex system based on artificial intelligence, with access to the full database, collected in a particular area before.

Notebook ensuring the operation of the artificial intelligence is been tested – as the camera sensor. As the whole system was tested at the proving ground station Mars Desert Research, located in the desert of Utah. During the tests, the researchers conducted a couple in the desert 2 weeks in space suits – in the manner of the astronauts on the Martian surface.

They were using hand-held cameras and digital microscopes, collecting data, which are then automatically a Bluetooth-connection is passed on to netbooks, which was implemented neural network Hopfilda.

The work of artificial intelligence algorithms were tested on a series of photographs of local stone, as well as some samples in semi-arid regions of Spain. Scientists have shown that it is truly able to learn and very quickly learns to recognize samples taken from a single source. In addition, the computer successfully set apart from the taint of lichen on the rock.

Now, scientists have to teach a neural network to distinguish the texture – and ultimately MakGuir hopes to create a full-fledged, “kiborgopodobny” suit, able to work at different levels, from the general form of the landscape to the microscopic structure of rocks. On this – confident scientist – a lot of time would be required. Almost reasonable spacesuit prepares for the appearance of Mars.

The cost of international calls to Russia also reduced by more than 3.5 times compared with the market average – up to 0,69 UAH including VAT, instead of standard 2,59 UAH with VAT.

When connecting to the service delivered “turnkey”: all the necessary equipment is available and configured specialists, which saves the customer from additional expenditure of time and money.

The proposed package is implemented on a modern high-speed fiber-optic access network, built on technology FTTB (optics to the home).

The service will be provided to small and medium-sized businesses in the direction Beeline Business. At this point, connect the fixed telephony and broadband Internet through a single channel will be legal entities, including private entrepreneurs, whose office is located in the presence of FTTB networks in Zhitomir. In the future this feature will be available in all cities where there is a fiber optic network Beeline.

Commenting on this event, the director working with corporate clients Nikolay Davydenko said: «Beeline, one of the few have all the necessary resources and infrastructure to offer customers comprehensive solutions. Our first step in this direction was fixed-mobile convergence tariff. Then, as the operator of broadband service convergence, we have been on our high-speed fiber optic network access. Today, we have created the technical capacity for providing voice and data transmissions on a single channel for FTTB networks in 9 cities in Ukraine, but we will soon be able to expand access to our communication solutions and provide them to any place where it will be our customers. ”

Technology VoIP (Voice over IP) combines Internet connection and voice telephony. For voice to VoIP calls using a single data stream broadband fiber-optic network Beeline. With the help of a telephone gateway analog line connected to the data network, and the analog signal is converted into digital packets and routed on the networks of packet data in the right direction.

Beeline has its own license plate resource for providing fixed telephony services in 21 cities of Ukraine: Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Vinnitsa, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lugansk, Lutsk, Lviv , Mariupol, Odessa, Poltava, Rivne, Simferopol, Kharkov, Chernigov, Uzhgorod, Brovary, Zhitomir, the amounts in Khmelnytsky.

Network fiber optic broadband Internet from Beeline speeds of up to 1 Gbit / sec deployed in 9 Ukrainian cities: Kiev, Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Lvov, Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, as well as in Brovary and Cherry.
