Facebook's latest privacy revamp has changed some of the options available to users. It's offered more specific levels of privacy for some content, though it also may have led some users to select settings they didn't necessarily want. Here's a guide to Facebook's new privacy settings, what they mean, and how to activate them

ReplyDeleteMore Bionic News.
The first in bionic fingers have recently been showcased, costing in the area of 35,000-45,000 pounds sterling, they are controlled directly by the brain and require no surgery. The prototypes allow recipients to grip a glass to drink, to hold a knife and fork they also allow the user to write. Truly a great step forward for people with badly damaged fingers and hands, and also those people born without fingers. The partial hand amputee population is estimated at around 52,000 in the EU and 1.2 million worldwide. The Pro-Digits provide a powered device with a grip and they can return these people to a level of functionality and independence. Each set is tailor made for its user and thus comes at a large price, but at what price is the use of hands considered to be expensive. With the advancement of today’s technology we are seeing the reality of the 1970’s sci-fi show the bionic man, are we entering an age of super heroes, people who would have once been forced to live a life at a disadvantage, maybe as it stands it truly does look like Steve Austin can be rebuilt.

Title: New Energy_Saving Strategy for a New year
There are more ways to lower your household's energy bills than by simply remembering to shut the lights off when you leave. The kinds of lightbulbs you use, the number of trees around your home, how old your appliances are, and even what your appliances do when you think they're turned off can all have an impact. Here are some ways to lower their costs.

Title:A new way of looking at the world
What's the first thing that goes through your mind when someone says the word "data"?
For many of us, the first image is line graphs, pie charts and spreadsheets with columns and rows full of numbers that leave you bleary-eyed and a bit dazed.
But what if someone were to say data can also mean what you post on Facebook and Twitter, the ratings you gave a restaurant, the photos you uploaded to Flickr or even, perhaps, what you feel.
An emerging set of tools is making it easier than ever to track and compile all sorts of "data" and display it in a way that's relatively easy to understand.
There are several reasons why we're seeing more data visualization in popular culture and why it's becoming simpler and more innovative, experts say.

NASA reveals first-ever photo of liquid on another worldCNN) -- NASA scientists revealed Friday a first-of-its-kind image from space showing reflecting sunlight from a lake on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
It's the first visual "smoking gun" evidence of liquid on the northern hemisphere of the moon, scientists said, and the first-ever photo from another world showing a "specular reflection" -- which is reflection of light from an extremely smooth surface and in this case, a liquid one.
"This is the first time outside Earth we've seen specular reflection from another liquid from another body," said Ralf Jaumann, a scientist analyzing data from the Cassini unmanned space probe.
Jaumann said he was surprised when he first saw the photos transmitting from Cassini, orbiting Saturn about a billion miles from Earth.
"It was great because if you look at photos of planets, you mostly see nothing is happening. But in two hours we saw a glint of light getting brighter."
Titan's similarities to Earth have attracted NASA's attention for decades. It's the only body besides our own in the solar system that is believed to have liquid on its surface. Like Earth, Titan has an atmosphere which is mostly nitrogen.

ReplyDeleteTitle:Vodafone has confirmed that it will sell Apple's iPhone range from Jan 14.
People signing up to Vodafone's £40 per month, 18-month contract also have to pay £89 for the iPhone itself, meaning they will have spent £809 on the phone and monthly payments by the time their contract expires.
Supermarket giant Tesco, which started selling the iPhone last week, represents the cheapest deal for shoppers, who can choose between a 12-month or two-year contract. The cheapest monthly tariff is just £20, but shoppers will have to pay a whopping £320 up front for the 16GB iPhone 3GS.
The number of free minutes and texts available varies between networks and tariffs, and will be a key consideration for shoppers as they try and decide which contracts represent the best value for money for their needs.
But mobile phone experts have warned that purchasing decisions may boil down to more than just cost. O2's network, which has suffered frequent crashes in recent months, has gone down again, leaving some iPhone users unable to make or receive calls or surf the internet.

A number of companies that didn't launch an e-reader in 2009 announced intentions to tackle the nascent category, which is still dominated by Amazon. Among those hoping for a proverbial "Kindle killer": Plastic Logic with its Que; Spring Design with its Nook-tangling Alex; Entourage, maker of the Edge; and Zen maker Creative, which talked up its tentatively named MediaBook.

Technology in Education: Transforming Teaching and Learning
Shelly Esque, Vice President, Legal and Corporate Affairs and Director, Corporate Affairs Group, INTEL Corporation, USA.
Our world is in transition, creating tremendous opportunities as well as competition for jobs and economic development. Countries are facing immense challenges in ensuring that their education systems are ready to prepare the next generation to take advantage of the opportunities.
We know that ICT is playing an increasingly important role in not just the way we work, but also in the way we gather, assimilate and use information to create knowledge which is increasingly becoming the backbone of modern economies. This knowledge economy brings with it the need for a vast range of complex skills in the workforce, so that knowledge workers collaborate better, communicate effectively, critically evaluate options and successfully compete on a global scale.
This in turn necessitates the need for education transformation to match the new paradigms and the effective use of ICT cannot be ignored. While there is an ever increasing use and induction of ICT into the education systems across the world, it is critical that the usage models of ICT defined by any country fall in line with not just the desired short-term educational outcomes, but also align with the long-term vision that the country has set for itself.
It is thus extremely critical that as we march down the path to transform education, we know what the end goal looks like and have relevant mechanisms in place to measure the educational outcomes, as well as monitor the effectiveness of our actions.

ReplyDeleteTitle: India survey says Facebook affects productivity
BBC News|December 21 2009
URL: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8423888.stm
Indian firms are losing productivity because office staff spend too long on social networking sites, a survey says.
The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham) says workers use Orkut, Facebook, Myspace and Linkedin for "romancing" and other purposes.
Office employees questioned in the survey spent on average an hour a day on sites like Facebook, leading to a loss in productivity of nearly 12.5%.
The findings were based on responses from nearly 4,000 corporate employees.
'Dangerous'
"Close to 12.5% of productivity of human resource in corporate sector is misappropriated each day since a vast majority of them while away their time accessing social networking sites during the office hours," according to the findings of Assocham's Social Development Foundation survey.
"As a matter of fact, [the] growing use of browsing sites can be dangerous for overall productivity and IT companies have already installed software to restrict its use," Assocham secretary general DS Rawat said.
The survey questioned 4,000 employees between the ages of 21 and 60 in Delhi, Bangalore, Madras (Chennai), Cochin, Indore, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai (Bombay), Pune, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Lucknow and Kanpur.
The survey found that 77% of workers who had Orkut accounts used them during work hours.
Nearly half of office employees accessed Facebook during work time.
Moreover, four in every 10 workers built their entire Orkut or Facebook profile at work, the survey found.
Some 83% saw nothing wrong in surfing at work during office hours.
According to the survey, 19% of companies allow use of social networking sites only for business purposes, while 16% allow limited personal use.
Only 40% of the employees interviewed said that their companies allowed staff full access to social networking sites.
The survey also says that 84% of respondents in India's major cities show signs of internet addiction - they do not take breaks at appropriate times, they spend more than a "normal" amount of time online, and can get irritable if they are interrupted while surfing.
In September, Portsmouth City Council in southern England banned staff from accessing Facebook on its computers after it was revealed they spent on average 400 hours on the site every month.
The move was expected to stop the "waste of public cash".

The public has voted the X-ray machine as the best invention, ahead of the Apollo 10 space capsule and Stephenson's Rocket.
Out of nearly 50,000 votes cast, one in five people named it for having made the greatest impact on the past, present and future.
Ten of the most significant objects in science, engineering, technology and medicine were selected for the vote.
Information on all the items is found at the Science Museum in London.
The first three positions were filled by medical inventions or discoveries, the X-ray machine being followed by the discoveries of penicillin and the DNA double helix structure.
X-rays provided the first possibility of looking inside someone's body without cutting them open - a massive medical advance.
Analyze-it
ReplyDeleteIntroduction: This application is an "integration" of Excel '97 into to 2007. It utilizes statistics to test hypotheses and represents them as graphical charts.
Creating a new dataset: This involves using a range of cells on excel under statistical analysis with numerous dataset template options.
Working with existing data: An analysis can be completed on the excel data sheet. A setup called a list "dataset" allows specific numerical arrangements. At this juncture, the data wizard can be used.
Setting the measurement scale: This package differentiates between three scales of measurement: continuous, nominal and ordinal.
Running a statistical analysis: All types of statistical tests may be done such as one or two tailed analyses.
Updating an analysis: A report can be easily updated if data changes by means of outlier exclusion.
Editing an analysis: Modifications can be "plugged" in speedily.
Keeping work together: Information can be collated in the same workbook.
Printing reports and charts: Reports can be printed with the modern format and other necessary auxiliary features.
Filtering Data: It only analyzes a subset of the data. Non-visible sets will not be pencilled in. A facility called the autofiller allows this procedure.
Analyse-It
ReplyDeleteAnalyse – it is easy to use statistical software and charting software. It is also add in to microsoftsoftware. So if you want to use it in your computer, you should have excel in your computer.
There are three parts that we can do with this software. First, we are allowed to prepare data for analysis, then we can perform statistical analysis and the last stage we can work with analysis reports.
First of all you can create the dataset which is any range of worksheet cells containing the data to be analysed. Defining dataset means that how the data is arranged in this program, the name of variables and which cells contain the data to anlyse.
When you click analyse-it menu in Microsoft Excell you will see standard and Method evaluation. You can choose the cell that you want to test and click the Analyse –it tab and then choose which test you want to run for which variables and last you can click ok to run the test.
Analyse-it creates the result of statistical analysis as a report. Reports are standard Excell worksheets so can be saved, printed, emailed and otherwise treated just like any other worksheet. And also reports can be created by copy pasting charts and cell ranges into another document or application as you wish. But if we are using the free trial of Analyse-it we cannot print, save or move reports.
This software is useful for the students for the data analysis when we have research for our thesis or independent study.

I have found that you can find the definition in Google easily by using Google dictionary, Google has added a dedicated dictionary to its vast pool of online services.
At first, Google search engine has a built- in ability to provide definition for word with "define:"operator. If you would like to search any term or phrase with the format of "define: term" will return not only search result which list relevant and related web pages but also will display a list of definition of the term available the web. To type "define:" prefix to search query every time to lookup for definitions may not be convenient . So that's why Google has added this service. The main feature of free Google dictionary is support for bidirectional multilingual dictionary, with the help of Google Translate, to allow look-up of word or phrase in any supported language, and return definitions in particular translated languages.

Jingji
Apple (AAPL) is a company that leaks with a purpose, and for Christmas it has loosened its normally tight-lipped public relations operation and delivered a heap of neatly wrapped rumors. A flood of rumors point to a Jan. 26 unveiling of Apple's new touch-screen device. That the select developers that as long as they build their apps to support full screen resolution — rather than a fixed 320×480 — their apps should run just fine.

Chinese proposal to meter internet traffic
ReplyDeletehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8417680.stm
China wants to meter all internet traffic that passes through its borders, it has emerged.
The move would require international agreement - but it is being discussed by the United Nations' internet standards organisation.
It would allow countries which currently receive no payment for use of their lines to generate income.
But an EU cyber security expert has warned the plan could threaten the stability of the entire internet.
The ITU firmly rejected this claim and insisted that it had involved the wider internet industry in its discussions - with several experts being invited to contribute to the most recent talks on introducing tariffs, which took place in Kampala, Uganda, in September this year.
China's proposal is understood to have the backing of a number of developing countries, who currently have to bear the cost of international internet connections.
At the moment, when countries install internet circuits, they have to choose between a "peer-to-peer" system for connections with other countries, in which no money changes hands but the traffic flow between the two countries balances out, or an asymmetrical system, where they have to pay the full cost of the connection.
It is understood that the Chinese proposal would see countries reaching a commercial agreement when internet connections are established, including possible compensation for traffic flow and number of routes.

Cyber crooks are roaming the Internet and their targets are web greenhorns such as secondary school leavers who for the first time have unlimited time exploring websites, visiting chat-rooms and social networking sites such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook through computers and mobile phones.
Unfortunately few school leavers are aware of the dangers lurking in the World Wide Web. The issue is that few parents and teachers have prepared them for the dangerous masterminds of the virtual world. Such criminals include small time cyber beggars, bullies, and paedophiles, counterfeit goods marketers, academic cyber cheats and hardcore criminals who attack financial systems and information data banks.
But where most school leavers may avoid the above category of cyber criminals, they should be wary of threats posed by identity theft criminals who are the new generation of cyber stalkers. According to a new report by Symantec Corporation, the world’s largest makers of security software, Internet users have become prime prey of identify theft criminals. "Visitors are introduced to a different world and are keen to make new discoveries and meet new friends," says Mr Anthony Njogu, an Internet security specialist.

Starting next year, Ford enters fray of automakers offering in-car Internet access. The next generation of the Sync in-car entertainment and information system will use a USB mobile broadband modem to establish a secure wireless connection capable of supporting several devices simultaneously. The system will be available next year on selected models -- no word yet which ones -- and you won't need a subscription or hardware beyond the modem. Ford is taking a decidedly different approach, opting to allow consumers to plug in their own USB modem to get connected. Ford says interest in in-car connectivity is high among the general public, with one-third of people surveyed by the Consumer Electronics Association expressing interest in being able to check e-mail or surf the Web from the car.
