    Intelligence Bureau to telcos: Monitor internet traffic on mobiles:-

    The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has demanded that the telecoms ministry ask mobile phone companies to put mechanisms in

    place to track internet usage on mobile phones.

    The IB is of the view that internet usage on computers where the connectivity is offered via Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

    are traceable. But the same is not applicable when it comes to browsing on mobile phones as telcos had not set up facilities

    for real time tracking of websites visited by their customers.

    The IB further added that even when provided with Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of websites, telcos were unable identify

    Ubuntu on TV near you!Canonical has a big plans for Ubuntu, and they involve not

    just desktop and laptop, but also smartphones and TVs. Linuxfor TVs isnt new; some television manufacturers already useversions of Linux in television sets and set-top boxes. Google,too tried to offer an Android-based experience for TVs, which

    doesnt seem to have taken off much. Boxee, Roku, and TiVoall use Linux in their set-top boxes, and there are numerousLinux based free and open source solutions such as XBMCand GeeXbox.

    Certainly, this would also open up opportunities for develop-ers who could access a growing market for apps catering toSmart TVs

    Tizen gets Bada BoostSamsung has been supportiveof Tizen from the get go, andnow its merging its homegrown mobile phone OS, BADA

    with Tizen. Tizen is a Linux foundation. Tizenand BADA are going to develop a Mobile OS incomparison of Android.

    Apache Hadoop 1.0 released:-Hadoop, the open source framework for cre-ating distributed applications has just beenupdated to version 1.0. There is only somuch power you can put into one single sys-

    tem, and thus most popular web applications today require multipleserver to handle the kinds of workload that they receive.

    MegaUpload shutdown,Anonymous retaliates:-The U.S. department of justice (DOJ) announced that it shutdown MegaUpload, the one click

    hosting online service and charged its member on five counts of copyright infringement and con-spiracy by trafficking and hosting pirated image and video content. Four out of seven of thesites owners and operators have been arrested.

    Meanwhile, hackvisit group, Anonymous retaliated to the MegaUpload closure by shuttingdown the web site of the DOJ,

    TRAI releases list of Black Outdays for 2012 :-The Telecom Regulatory Author-

    ity of India (TRAI) has releasedthe list of Black Out days for theyear 2012. The TRAI list featuresvarious details including circlenames and service providers. Thelist also includes the servicessuch as SMS, Voice, GSM ser-vices that will be affected by thenew norms.

    The TRAI, which imposed a cap of 200 SMS per day per SIMlast year, had excluded certain Black Out days, wherein userscan send unlimited number of text messages. Users, how-ever, gave a cold shoulder to the move, as telecom operatorscharge users at original base tariffs on Black Out days.

    As per the TRAI list, Idea Cellular users in Mumbai circleswill have following Black Out days - New Year (1st January),New Year Eve (31st December), Holi (8th March), Valentine'sDay (14th February), Diwali (13th November).

    Nokia to shut down its OviShare service:-Nokia is now shutting down its Ovi Share service, which

    allowed users with Ovi account to upload their photos,videos and files from their phones to Nokia's servers. TheFinnish company informed its users via e-mail about theclosure of the service, also said to be Nokia's version ofDropbox.

    Discontinuing Ovi Share was a business decision tohelp us focus on our core Nokia service offerings. Thenew business unit Location & Commerce, established inJune 2011, is now in the center of our revised servicesstrategy, bringing you leading location-based services likeNokia Drive, Nokia Maps and Nokia Transport, saysNokia.

    According to Nokia, shutting down the Ovi Share ser-vice will help make its business simpler and more focus-sed on mobile and location based services.

    However, Nokia users will still be able to access Nokia'sother services with their Ovi account.

    If you thought smartphones are fun and safe for browsing, communication, infotainment, networking, e-commerce and bank-ing, you may want to think again. While most transactions may indeed be safe because of the checks put in place by the re-

    spective organisations, there is a real threat to other activities in an application-driven world.

    New global research has shown that mobile malware is galloping like never before, keeping pace with newer software that

    runs your smartphones. Google's Android seems to have emerged as the biggestplatform for exploitation.

    According to Juniper Networks' 2011 Mobile Threats Report, mobile malwarehas reached a new stage of maturity. The report, conducted by the Juniper Net-

    works Mobile Threat Center -- the only threat center in the world devoted exclu-sively to mobile security research -- is claimed to be one of the largest first-hand

    quantitative research studies of its kind.

    Here are some of its key findings.

    More malware than ever before- The year 2011 saw a record number of mobilemalware attacks -- particularly to the Google Android platform. With Android

    emerging as the most popular open source operating system across a huge num-ber of devices at different price points from different manufacturers, it has also

    emerged as the most susceptible to accelerating malware. In the last seven months of 2011 alone, malware targeting the An-

    droid platform jumped 3,325 per cent.Malware smarter for smartphones

    Cyber criminals continue to hone their craft by finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and human behaviour for profitacross all mobile platforms and devices.,and, according to the report, no platform is devoid of it. Research into Apple iOS se-

    curity remains limited given the closed nature of its platform; but in 2011, security researchers were successful in getting an

    unapproved application onto the Apple App Store.There was a 155 per cent increase in malware across all platforms in 2011, according to Juniper Networks Mobile Threat Cen-

    ter.

    Low entry barrier- Data shows an evolution fromsophisticated, complex and deep technical attacks toschemes that are lightweight, social and able to de-

    liver fast profits. As mobile users download more

    applications than ever before, applications them-selves are becoming the "killer app" for hackers and

    the most popular way to compromise devices.

    Beware of fake installers- A new attack method

    dubbed "Fake Installers" was the fastest growingtype of malware found in 2011. Fake Installers trick

    victims into unknowingly paying for pirated ver-

    sions of popular applications that are normally free.

    Spyware & SMS Trojans- In 2011, spyware andSMS Trojans comprised the vast majority of mal-

    ware targeting mobile devices, at 63 per cent and 36per cent respectively. In addition to the rising threatof malware, consumers and enterprises remain sus-

    ceptible to a very low-tech risk: lost or stolen mobiledevices.

    Nearly 8 lakh apps scanned!- juniper Networks Mobile Threat Center examined more than 790,000 applications and vulner-abilities across every major mobile device OS for its report. "It is vital that consumers and businesses take the necessary secu-

    rity precautions when using mobile devices. Securing mobile devices requires a combination of safeguarding connectionsfrom interception, securing data in transit from prying eyes or theft, protecting against fast-propagating malware, possessingthe tools to manage devices and apps, and securing the data, usernames and passwords on them in the event that they are lost

    or stolen," said Sanjay Beri, vice-president and general manager, Junos Pulse Business Unit, Juniper Networks.

    Windows 8: Features Pre-view And Requirements

    Microsoft's latest OS, Windows 8, is already in beta status. So far it appears that a huge number ofpeople who downloaded the Consumer Preview are pretty much satisfied with their user-experiencewith the OS.

    According to a report, Microsoft is rumored to officially release the final Windows 8 platform in October2012.

    Meanwhile, a leading technology and gadgets news blog has this additional report about the Windows

    8 platform requirements:"Microsoft is coming up with a new OS called Windows 8. Windows 8 will be optimized to run on bothdesktops and mobile devices like tablets. Windows 8 will feature, among other things, a new touch-centric UI.

    Windows 8 Requirements:

    1. Windows 8 devices must support no-reboot upgrades for graphic cards drivers.

    2. There must be a minimum of 10GB free space after all OS updates.

    3. Display resolution of at least 1366 x 768 pixels.

    4. DirectX 9 / Direct3D 10 compatible graphics with WDDM 1.0 / 1.2 driver.5. A camera that can do at least 720p video is also needed.6. Your device must also have WLAN, gyroscope and accelerometer.7. A magnetometer, speakers, and Bluetooth 4.0 are also needed.8. There should be at least one USB 2.0 port.9. Power, Rotation Lock, Windows Key, Volume Up and Volume Down buttons are needed.10. Tablets must have a multi-touch and support for at least one of your hands on the screen.11. Hard disk space of 16GB for the 32-bit and 20GB for the 64-bit.12. 1GB RAM for 32-bit and 2GB RAM for the 64-bit.13. 1GHz or faster CPU.

    In addition, the Consumer Preview or beta is a big download. The 32-bit version is 2.5GB while the 64-

    bit version is about 3.3GB. For the download process, you have a choice via Windows 8 ConsumerPreview Setup or Windows 8 Consumer Preview ISO.

    For the Windows 8 Consumer Preview Setup, users will download a 5MB setup file that will check theirsystem if it can run the beta and choose which version is best for their device.

    For the ISO option, users download an ISO image file which they can then burn on a DVD and run oncompatible PCs.

    Meanwhile, for tablets without physical keyboards, it will be replaced by the two-key combo of the Win-dows Key + Power. Also, ARM-based tablets won't be able to install another OS since secure bootingcannot be deactivated on these devices".

    It is very likely that Microsoft is going to regain some lost market share and get new patrons and fanswith the introduction of Windows 8 on their fold.

    UEFI: The New Super BIOSThe bluish, confusing menu of the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) hasbeen a feature of every PC for the past 30 years. Its Function is to detectinstalled hardware and provide the necessary interface for the boot processof Windows and Linux.The BIOS was developed for PCs in the early eighties, and has remained vir-tuallyUnchanged in recent years.

    Since 2000, Intel is working on a new firmware interface, the EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface).Since 2005, the United EFI Forum is responsible for Developing, managing and promotingUEFI specie captions. Big companies such as Intel, AMD, Apple, Dell and Microsoft develop product inaccordance to UEFI standards. UEFI has a faster, more stable, easier-to-use and secure interface.Nevertheless, there are hardly any systems that use UEFI as of now. We show you how your computerwill boot up in the future using UEF

    Faster: UEFI integrates the Drives

    You can observe the boot process carried out by the BIOS once the PC isSwitched on. For a few seconds, until the Windows boot screen appears,the BIOS executes the so-called POST (Power-On Self-Test). Its a diagnosticTesting sequence which checks the functionality of the CPU, memory and various input/output devices.The BIOS works at an abstraction level so that the operating system doesnt have direct access to thehardware. However, the correct drivers are loaded as the operating system is loading. Finally, theBIOS scan the master boot record or partition table, which resides in the firstSector of a partitioned drive. If the boot loader is present on the active partition,the operating system takes control of the system from the BIOS and starts up.The BIOS has two fundamental weaknesses. Firstly, it is based on 16-bit assembly code and cannotdirectly address the latest 64-bit hardware, andSecondly, there are no set standards for specifi cations, so manufacturers come up with their own ver-sions. The participants of the UEFI Forum wanted to set this straight. From the outset, each processhas been precisely defined.

    Thus, the boot process or platform initialization (PI) is clearly described in phases. Immediately afterpowering up the PC, the Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) is executed, which initializes the CPU, memory andchipset. This is then followed by the Driver Execution Environment (DXE).

    Thus, the boot process or platform initialization (PI) is clearly described in phases. Immediately afterpowering up the PC, the Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) is executed, which initializes the CPU, memoryand chipset. This is then followed by the Driver Execution Environment (DXE). At this point, the restof the hardware is initialized. This process saves the time required for booting because UEFI can in-tegrate various drivers that need not be reloaded during booting. Thanks to these drivers, the useralready has access to network card, including features such as network booting and remote assis-tance at the early stage of the boot process. With the graphics processor enabled, a fancy user inter-

    face is also presented. However, biggest time-saving feature of UEFI is the fact that not all the in-stalled hard drives will be scanned for the boot loader, since the boot drive is set during the installa-tion of the operating system in the UEFI. The default boot loader is run without consuming much timesearching the drives. The faster boot time is not the only advantage of UEFI; applications can bestored on virtually any non-volatile storage device installed on the PC. For example, programs anddiagnostic tools such as antivirus or system management tools can be run from an EFI partition onthe hard drive. This feature will be very useful to original equipment manufacturers (OEM), who candistribute systems with extra functions in addition to the standard EFI firmware stored on the mother-boards ROM.

    UEFI fully supports 3 TB hard drivesDue to delayed transition to UEFI oveand over again, new hardware couldbe addressed by the BIOS by means of extensions. The classic BIOS can access only up to 232 sec-tors of 512 bytes in size, which translates to a total of 2 TB. So the upcoming 3 TB variants of West-ern Digital Caviar Green and Seagate Barracuda XT wont be fully compatible with the current BIOS.Seagate uses larger sectors to make the full capacity usable on Windows, but the BIOS cannot bootfrom this drive. UEFI, on the other hand, works with GUID partition table (GPT) with 64-bit long ad-dresses and can handle up to 264 sectors that address up to 9 Zettabyte (1 zettabyte equals 1 billionterabytes).Since Windows Vista can handle GPT disks,booting works with only a few UEFI motherboards

    in the market, such as the Intel DQ57TM. How-ever, in 2011, Intel will sell more motherboardswith UEFI than standard BIOS, followed by all theother manufacturers.

    New Technology Platform for Molecule-Based Electronics

    Researchers at the Nano-Science Center at

    the University of Copenhagen have developed

    a new nano-technology platform for the de-

    velopment of molecule-basedelectronic components using

    the wonder material graphene.

    At the same time, they have

    solved a problem that has chal-

    lenged researchers from around

    world for ten years.

    Since its discovery in 2004, gra-phene has been called a wondermaterial, in part because it is 200times stronger than steel, a good

    electrical conductor and is just asingle atom layer thick. With theseproperties, there are sky-high ex-pectations for what graphene canbe used for. That is why research-ers around the world are workingon developing methods to makeand modify graphene. In a recentlypublished article in the journal Ad-vanced Materials, researchers innano-chemistry at the Departmentof Chemistry de-scribe how they

    are among the firstin the world to beable to chemicallyproduce largeflakes of gra-phene.

    " chemical andphysical proc-esses, that wehave been workingto develop in re-cent years, we arenow able to pro-

    duce such largeflakes of graphenethat we can usethe flakes as com-ponents in an en-tirely new technology platform within molecule-based electronics," says nano-chemist KasperNrgaard, who along with his Danish and Chinesecolleagues in the Danish-Chinese Center for Mo-lecular Nano-Electronics at the Nano-ScienceCenter, is behind the new platform as well as thesolution to ten year old problem.

    More than 10 years ago when it was being pro-

    claimed that nanotechology could revolutionise computer technol-ogy, it was in part because they imagined that the development ofmolecular electronics was just around the corner. Molecular elec-tronics involves replacing traditional electrical components withmolecules, creating tiny electronic circuits for use in, for example,

    computers and data storage. This hasproven to be more challenging than an-ticipated, in part because the compo-nents short-circuited when the mole-cules were contacted with electrodesand were therefore unable to create aworkable circuit. Graphene is the solu-tion to the problem.

    "We can now place one of our grapheneflakes on top of the molecules, protect-ing the system from short circuits. Thatis how we developed a new technologyplatform for use in the development of

    new electronics based on molecules,"says Kasper Nrgaard, who explainsthat in the Danish-Chinese collaboration,they are trying to use molecules withdifferent properties in the platform, forexample, molecules that can alternatebetween being conductive and non-conductive. This paves the way for theelectronics of the future in areas such asmemorytechnology.

    Proxima Futuristic Car Design Concept Technology Innovation Gianpaolo Alvino

    Lets start with this new car design concept presenting some projects Gian-paolo Alvino, young engineer and designer Neapolitan already known interna-

    tionally which combines the undeniable technical skills is an interesting ap-proach to the topic of creative design. The first project is called Proxima illus-

    trated by images, and is an idea for a Futuristic Automotive Technology two

    seat, lined up in tandem with a line that seems to turn, seamlessly from one

    medium to another.

    One of the most interesting aspects of the project is that, although a proposal full of imaginative ideas is actually effective andfeasible with current technology. This is, in general, the philosophy behind the design Gianpaolo Alvino. The two are intimatelylinked, unable regardless of the laws of mechanics. Its my extraction technique, probably, that keeps me with his feet on theground. That allows me to draw objects too futuristic, I would say useless. We do not like this design. Why look at 2050, if to-

    morrow we can improve the world? This is true innovation.

    Pocket Microscope With Accessory for Ordinary Smart Phone

    VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed an optical ac-cessory that turns an ordinary camera phone into a high-resolution micro-scope. The device is accurate to one hundredth of a millimetre. Amongthose who will benefit from the device are the printing industry, consumers,the security business, and even health care professionals. A new Finnish

    enterprise called KeepLoop Oy and VTT are already exploring the commer-cial potential of the invention. The first industrial applications and consumermodels will be released in early 2012.

    The operation of the device is based on images produced by the combinedeffect of an LED light and an optical lens. Various surfaces and structurescan be examined in microscopic detail and the phone's camera used totake sharp, high-resolution images that can be forwarded as MMS mes-sages.

    An ordinary mobile phone turns into an instant microscope by attaching athin, magnetic microscope module in front of the camera's normal lens. Thedevice fits easily in the user's pocket, unlike conventional tubular microscopes.

    The plastic macro lens of the mobile phone microscope magnifies objects effectively. The camera's field of view is 2 x 3

    millimetres. A number of LEDs have been sunk into the outer edge of the lens, allowing objects to be illuminated from dif-ferent angles. Images illuminated from several different angles could be used to produce 3D topographic maps, for exam-ple, with mobile phone software. The 3D maps would be accurate to one hundredth of a millimetre.

    The competitive edge of the product is based on next-generation lens technology, the compact and user-friendly structure,and customisable extra features.

    The mobile phone microscope is suited for examining surfaces and surroundings, for security, health care, andeven games

    The mobile phone microscope could also be used to study surface formations, especially in the printing industry as part ofquality control and in field conditions. In the security business the device could be used, for example, to read microcode invarious logistics systems, while it is also suited for studying security markings, and for authenticating products as genuineas part of brand protection. The microscope is capable of detecting hidden symbols in products that are not visible to thenaked eye.

    The device can also be applied to study of the environment. Consumers could use the instant microscope when out andabout to examine the leaves of trees and plants, for example, or study insects. Another potential application is in examin-ing textile structures such as strands of hair, or the fibrous structure of paper.

    The device also has uses in social media, and in community-based hybrid media where traditional forms of media areused in combination with each other. There are also several potential applications in the gaming world.

    Apple iPad 2 to officially launch in Indiawithin the next few day

    While Indian customers have been able to procure the Apple iPad 2 eitherinternationally or through online retail channels like HomeShop18, realshelves in India are still not stocking the popular tablet. If a report by Only-Gizmos is to be believed however, the Apple iPad 2 will apparently be offi-cially launching very soon in India, i.e., by next week. Apple COO, Tim Cook,was the source, when he spoke of the success of the new tablet, stating theiPad 2 would be hitting 13 new countries in a week - a list that includes India.

    OnlyGizmos later updated its report, and now pegs the release within thenext couple of days, sometime between the 28th and 29th of April! Abouttime!

    While there have been no official confirmations from Apple regarding thearrival of the iPad 2 in India, we remain hopeful. For now, official pricing is

    still unknown, but as expected, Apple will probably launch the tablets at theoriginal iPad prices, when it first arrived in India, starting at Rs. 27,900 for

    the base 16GB Wi-Fi only model. The news will undoubtedly make many happy, especially those who had consideredpaying a substantial premium to get the device by any means to the country.
