BOOSTING YOUR MIND BY PLAYING 3D VIDEO GAME

BOOST YOUR MING

Are you hooked to 3D video games? Well, if yes, that may not be too bad as new research reveals that playing 3D video games, besides being lots of fun, can also boost the formation of memories.

Along with adding to the trove of research that shows these games can improve eye-hand coordination and reaction time, this finding shows the potential for novel virtual approaches to helping people who lose memory as they age or suffer from dementia.

For their research, University of California-Irvine neurobiologists Craig Stark and Dane Clemenson recruited non-gamer college students to play either a video game with a passive, two-dimensional environment or one with an intricate, 3D setting for 30 minutes per day over two weeks.

Before and after the two-week period, the students took memory tests that engaged the brain's hippocampus, the region associated with complex learning and memory.

They were given a series of pictures of everyday objects to study. Then they were shown images of the same objects, new ones and others that differed slightly from the original items and asked to categorize them.

Recognition of the slightly altered images requires the hippocampus, Stark said.Students playing the video game improved their scores on the memory test, while the 2D gamers did not. Memory performance increased by 12 percent, the same amount it normally decreases between the ages of 45 and 70.

"First, the 3D games have a few things the 2D ones do not. They've got a lot more spatial information in there to explore. Second, they're much more complex, with a lot more information to learn Either way, we know this kind of learning and memory not only stimulates but requires the hippocampus," he added.

The study appeared in The Journal of Neuroscience.

li-fi TECHNOLOGY

li-fi    TECHNOLOGY

A new method of delivering data, which uses the visible spectrum rather than radio waves, has been tested in a working office.

Li-fi can deliver internet access 100 times faster than traditional wi-fi, offering speeds of up to 1Gbps (gigabit per second).
It requires a light source, such as a standard LED bulb, an internet connection and a photo detector.
It was tested this week by Estonian start-up Velmenni, in Tallinn.
Velmenni used a li-fi-enabled light bulb to transmit data at speeds of 10Gbps. Laboratory tests have shown theoretical speeds of up to 224Gbps.
It was tested in an office, to allow workers to access the internet and in an industrial space, where it provided a smart lighting solution.
Light might be the preferred option for transmitting data over long distances via cables, but when it comes to short range wireless, radio waves rule in the form of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Now Mexican company Sisoft, working with researchers from the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico (ITAM), has developed a wireless technology that transmits data in visible light emitted from LED lamps, while lighting the room at the same time. Called Li-Fi, which is short for light fidelity, the technology is what is known as Visible Light Communication (VLC). Unlike infrared based system. VLC involves transmitting data using light visible to the human eye. In this case it is transmitted as intermittent, imperceptible flickers of light emitted by LEDs. The team started out with audio, cabling up a protoboard table to a smartphone via its 3.5 mm audio jack. The protoboard table converted the audio signal into an optical signal that is transmitted by a special emitter across the spectrum of light generated by an LED lamp. At the receiving end, a receptor located in a speaker captured the signal and converted it back into an audio signal that was played by the speaker.

For wireless internet transmission, the principle is the same but makes use of a receptor device designed to be placed above a router. The router incorporates an LED lamp to transmit data so anyone falling within the halo of light emitted by the LED will be in range. However, only those with a receptor/transmitter device will be able to send and receive the signal.

The Sisoft team says it has used the technology to transmit audio, video and internet at rates of up to 10 gigabits per second. This is an improvement over similar Li-Fi systems developed at  siemens and pennsylvania state university that achieved transfer rates of 500 Mbps and 1.6 Gbps, respectively.

In addition to its impressive transfer rate, Sisoft also highlights other benefits of the technology. Since the data is transferred via light, there is no way to hack it, making it safer, (although no mention is made of how easy it would be to take a peek at the data someone else is receiving). Additionally, it could be used in areas such as hospitals where radiation equipment can block or disrupt wireless signals. And of course, it provides illumination at the same time.

MOUSE FOR GAME LOVER

MOUSE FOR GAME LOVER

are you a great  fan of the Diablo series of games?

its third installation – the much-hyped Diablo III – might have left you with a bit of a grimace: it was damn hard.

I can report to you from the front lines of playing the game that yes, it was in fact as hard as discussed, and yes, it was in fact as long as rumored. I in fact failed to complete the game, after realizing that if one more of those flying  monsters killed me I was set to punch a hole through my monitor. But I digress.

One of the reasons that Diablo III was harder than it might have -been was its inclusion of some anti-macro technology, blocking users from running short scripts to help them launch repeat actions to speed along their gameplay. That was a no in the game, leading to more button mashing and general frustration THE GILA from GX gaming  that has a- surprising claim: it has both a CPU and a block of memory on-board, allowing it the capability to to get around certain in-game restrictions on macros. This means that, in theory, you could turn the tables on Diablo III and let you combo-power your way through the game with the click of a pre-programed button. And the mouse has oodles of them, with profile switching to allow you to jump from game to game, sans the need to re-code.....

The only real downside to the Gila is that it appears to be a mouse crossed with a Transformer that recently went through a blender the hard way...

The thing will set you back about $100, but is currently out of stock on Amazon. It’s a relatively new mouse, which we first spotted last night at CES Unveiled. Hello from Las Vega..

iPHONE PRINCESS PLUS "EXPENSIVE mobile"

iPhone princess plus 

iPhone princess plus is designed by famous designer Austria, and Peter aloisson. expensive
 this special iPhone flavour comes with no less than 138 princess cut and 180 brilliant cut diamonds with a weight of 16.50 – 17.75. And according to Peter Aloisson, the diamonds have the best quality, so owning such a device is quite a remarkable thing.
It’s price is $ 176.400.

One may think that since it is priced at such a high rate, there would be few or perhaps no buyers for it. But surprisingly a Russian businessman had already pre-ordered it in October 2007 and the handset has been delivered to him in January 2008.

The phone features yet remain untouched and the iPhone Princess Plus stands a class apart from the rest of the iPhones and also comes with a heavy price tag.

UPCOMING I PHONE 7 PLUS "AMAZING LOADED PHONE"

iPhone 7 Plus

iPhone 7 Plus”. The leaks generated significant buzz among techies as the source is arguably the most reliable one for advanced information on Apple’s upcoming products. In January of 2011, for example, Kuo almost perfectly predicted the iPad 2’s dual-core processor, screen resolution, and camera specs. He also correctly forecast several features of the iPhone 5, the discontinuation of the 17-inch MacBook Pro, and the redesign of the iMacs. But Kuo has also had his fair share of forecasting duds, including a prediction that a cheaper iPhone would be issued in 2013. Nevertheless, when it comes to forecasts on Apple products, hardly anyone can match Kuo’s accuracy.

Here are ten of Kuo’s most exciting predictions on Apple’s rumored iPhone 6S and IPhone 6S Plus (or iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus), which will supposedly begin being mass produced in mid-to-late August Force Touch, already unveiled on Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro and the Apple Watch, is a haptic technology that allows for the detection of the force of a tap and correspondingly responds uniquely to the variances in the applied pressure. But what benefit does the inclusion of such technology in the new iPhones really provide for their users? It’s actually pretty exciting. Because Force sensors allow for the detection of variances in the intensity of pressure applied, a hard press could enable particular capabilities, such as displaying the definition of a word or showing the preview of a file. Increased pressure could also indicate that the user wants to increase the rate at which a movie fast forwards or an image zooms. And not only taps, but also drags can be pressure-sensitive, meaning signatures could be drawn with the precision of a fountain pen, thus raising the possibility for electronically generated signatures to be just as or even more reliably verifiable than physically written ones.

SAFE YOUR SMART PHONE

SAFE YOUR SMART PHONE

If you are still coping with threats to your system, then be ready to do the same with your mobile phone, especially the high-end ones that are enabled with internet. Mobile phones are now more vulnerable to virus attacks and the risk has increased manifold in the last few years. With mobile phones without IMEI number flooding in the market, this risk has increased a lot. Virus can attack files like games, software, security patches, and ad-on functionalities of your mobile. However, with the problem comes a solution as well. There are ways, which can help you protect your mobile from an attack by viruses or malware. All you need to do is to be a little vigilant.

Steps to follow

The steps you should follow to protect your mobile include:

Mobile antivirus: You can download an antivirus application directly in your smartphone
Branded mobiles: make sure that you always choose a mobile from a recognized brand, which come with IMEI number.
Scan your mobile: Once you download an antivirus application in your phone, remember to scan your mobile often to search for any virus.
Turn off Bluetooth: Bluetooth is another way through which unknown applications or virus can make way into your mobile, so when in unknown places, it is better to turn the Bluetooth function off.
The bright side for mobile users

The numbers of mobile malware and worms are constantly on the rise, as virus writers creates new ways of attacking software run by mobile phones. When on one side virus attacks on mobile is increasing at a fast pace, on the other side expanding field of mobile communications also offer opportunity of designing security in a proper manner. Other than installing mobile antivirus, you should follow some precautionary steps to make sure that your mobile stay away from virus attack. When you surf the net from your mobile, ensure that you download content from a reliable website only.

Other points to remember to protect your mobile device

Some of the other points, which you should keep in mind include:
Avoid downloading unknown software from internet
It is also recommended to maintain a backup of your contact list
When accepting content and programs like videos, mobile themes, photos, etc. verify the source, especially while downloading from the web.
If you have Bluetooth, then put it on non-discoverable mode, and never accept data, which comes from sources you do not trust.
You can also use password to protect your device, as this helps to prevent the use of data stored in your phone.
Update virus database and stay away from malicious messages

Just like your system, keep the virus database of your mobile antivirus updated all the time, so that it can protect your mobile from new viruses, which can creep into it. Even though viruses created for mobile phones are not very damaging, but the future is unpredictable, so you should be prepared for the worst attacks. Viruses can also spread through multimedia messages, so keep away from sharing such messages, as these can be malicious.

THE POLICE VIRUS

THE POLICE VIRUS

A few days ago a new Android malware showed up, Android/Koler.A. It was in the news as it was actually a Police Virus / ransomware attack, similar to the ones we have seen in Windows computers, but this time it was targeting mobile phones.

Although in this case this piece of malware cannot encrypt any of the phone data, it is nasty and it is really difficult to get rid of it (without antivirus for Android), as the warning message is always on top and the user has only a few seconds to try to uninstall it.

While we were studying it, we found a new variant exactly the same as the first one but this one was connecting to a different server, in order to download the proper warning. And this server was still up… It turns out that the cybercriminals made a small mistake configuring it and left the door half-opened  Sadly, we could not get access to all the information there (there was a mysql database with all the payments, infections, etc. that we couldn’t reach ) but still we were able to download some files from the server and take a look at how it works.

I won’t go into details about the mistake they made to leave that door half-opened, as of course we do not want to help them

Unsurprisingly, the way it works from the server side is really similar to the ones targeting Windows and that we have seen in the past: a number of scripts to geolocalize the device and show the message in the local language and with the images of local law enforcement. It saves information from all infected devices in the database and it takes the IMEI number of the mobile phone, adding the MD5 of the malware that is infecting the device. Doing this they can track the number of infections per malware variant and measure the success of their different infection campaigns.

This Trojan is targeting users from 31 different countries from all around the world; 23 of them are Europeans:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia, Slovakia and United Kingdom.

Users from these countries are also being targeted: Australia, Bolivia, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, New Zealand, Turkey and United States of America.

Android-based smart phone users infectious Trojan virus

Android-based smart phone users against an infectious Trojan virus

Cybersecurity sleuths have alerted Android-based smart phone users against an infectious Trojan virus which steals vital information from the personal device and can even illegally send SMSes to those on the mobile contact list.

The deadly virus has been identified as 'AndroidSmssend' and it can acquire as many as four aliases to hoodwink the user and perpetrate its destructive activities on a personal Android enabled phone.

"Android/SmsSend is a premium service abuser family malware that arrives bundled with legitimate Android applications and infects Android based smartphones
"Once infected, it sends text messages (typically with a link to itself or a different threat) to a specific number, typically to numbers on the contact list and is also capable to send SMS to premium rate numbers," the Computer Emergency Response Team of India (CERT-In) said in its latest advisory to Android phone users in the country.

The CERT-In is the nodal agency to combat hacking, phishing and to fortify security-related defences of the Indian internet domain.

It said that after a typical successful infection of the virus, basic information about the smart phone like IMEI number, device id, device type among others are compromised and it can even install spyware on the targeted device.

The virus is so notorious, the agency said, that it "steals contacts and pictures, tracks the location, steals passwords, illegally accesses text messages, crashes a complete system, steals personal banking information when logged in, installs other sort of spyware and disables firewall and anti-virus program to defend itself."

The CERT-In said the malware is created by modifying the legitimate application and then re-distributing via marketplace or other separate channels.

The agency has suggested some counter-measures in this regard.

"Do not download and install applications from untrusted sources, install applications downloaded from reputed application market only, run a full system scan on device with mobile security solution or mobile anti-virus solution, check for the permissions required by an application before installing, exercise caution while visiting trusted/untrusted sites for clicking links, install Android updates and patches and use device encryption or encrypting external SD card feature available with most of the android OS (operating system)," it said.

Also, avoid using unsecured, unknown Wi-Fi networks and make a practice of taking regular backup of the Android device, the advisory said.

SECURITY ATTACK ON SAMSUNG

SECURITY ATTACK ON SAMSUNG 

Chicago-based mobile-security firm NowSecure has found a flaw that could give hackers nearly complete control over Samsung's Galaxy S6, S5, S4 and S4 Mini devices, including the phones' cameras and microphones. The vulnerability, which may affect up to 600 million handsets, stems from Samsung's pre-installed version of the popular SwiftKey keyboard; Samsung does not encrypt the executable files it transmits as updates to users.

The flaw was made public only yesterday (June 16) at the Black Hat London security conference, but NowSecure says it notified Samsung in December 2014, and that the handset maker distributed a patch to cellular network operators earlier this year.

However, there appears to be no way in which an end user can confirm that his or her device has been patched by the carrier, nor any available method of user mitigation. NowSecure advises that Samsung Galaxy users should consider switching to a different brand of phone for the time being. (Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Tom's Guide.)

Malicious hackers could exploit the flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks on Samsung devices operating on an unsecured Wifi network, or set up fake cellular base stations to do the same. The attacker would prompt the Samsung keyboard app to accept and install a malicious update file.

Because the keyboard app (which is separate from the stand-alone SwiftKey app available in the Google Play store) runs as a privileged user, it has much more access to the Android operating system than a regular app would, and a malicious update would turn the keyboard app into super-malware capable of almost anything. An attacker could peep through your camera, listen to your microphone (your calls, for example), access your GPS transceiver to track your location, install more malicious apps and access photos stored on your device.

Updating the stand-alone SwiftKey app is pointless, since it is separate from the built-in Samsung keyboard (which cannot be uninstalled), as is switching to another default keyboard, since the Samsung keyboard will continue to run in the background.

Since a patch does exist for this specific vulnerability, and the exploit is so far only a proof of concept, it may all seem like not much to worry about. Unfortunately, there is plenty of opportunity for copycat hacks, as NowSecure has posted the code behind its exploit. Furthermore, mobile network operators are notoriously slow at pushing out updates, and not informing end users of what's being fixed when updates are pushed out.

According to NowSecure, as of July 16, the following devices have not received that patch from their mobile network providers:

Samsung Galaxy S6 on Verizon
Samsung Galaxy S6 on Sprint
Samsung Galaxy S5 on T-Mobile
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini on AT&T
As for an additional dozen Galaxy devices on the major carriers that may be vulnerable, the firm has yet to test them. But in its technical report, NowSecure does have some very blunt advice for all owners of Samsung Galaxy S6, S5, S4 and S4 Mini smartphones: "Avoid insecure Wi-Fi networks, use a different mobile device and contact your carrier for patch information and timing."

SMART WATCH

Smart watches

Hot on the heels of the Pebble and Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watches, will surely come newer and more innovative mobile-linked wristpieces.

In fact, at the 2014 Mobile World Congress expo, we're bound to see loads of the things in a concept stage.

But 2014 will be the year Apple launches one. Or maybe it won’t.

Both of which would be a big story.

The first would show the potential power of these products and the second would dismiss the idea as a fad if a company like Apple fails to take up the gauntlet.

No doubt, in time, we'll discover which one.

DRIVERLESS CARS FROM GOOGLE

DRIVERLESS CARS FROM GOOGLE

Google on Friday announced it will begin testing prototypes of its fully autonomous self-driving cars on public roads. The vehicles won't roam too far from their Mountain View, California, home -- but this latest phase of testing could be critical both for cultivating positive consumer perceptions, and influencing future legislation affecting the nascent sector.Google has "a few" driverless car prototypes that will be testing this summer, said Chris Urmson, director of the Google Self-Driving Car Project. The prototypes are based on the familiar Smart Fortwo-like bubble designs that have become almost synonymous with self-driving cars.

Google previously had leaned heavily on modified Lexus RX450h SUVs to conduct its research into autonomous vehicle technologies. The SUVs have logged a close to a million miles of autonomous driving on test tracks and public roads since the start of the project, and they have been traveling roughly 10,000 miles each week, Urmson said.

Mountain View residents needn't worry about driverless cars flying around their neighborhoods at high speeds. The Google cars will operate at a "neighborhood-friendly" top speed of 25mph, and they'll have driver on board -- as well as a removable steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal -- should manual operation be warranted, the company said.

In the coming years, Google wants to launch pilot programs so that it can learn more about how people would use driverless cars. For now, though, the company wants to gauge public perception of the vehicles and discover challenges unique to driverless cars.

NASA'S $2.25M CHALLANGE

NASA'S $2.25M CHALLANGE

NASA and America Makes have challenged innovators in the additive construction market to design a habitat for deep space exploration for the first stage of the competition and to fabricate such facilities in the second phase.

The organizations will award a $50,000 prize and a pair of US$1.1 million purses for the winners of the multistage challenge. Registration opened for phase one on Saturday, and the second stage will launch on September 27.

Entrants have been challenged to design a 3D-printable habitat for the first phase of the competition, and the team that wins that level will be awarded $50,000.

The second stage of the contest challenges teams to a) develop fabrication technologies; and b) build a 3D-printed habitat, using "indigenous" material with or without recycled materials. The winners of the two levels each will be awarded $1.1 million.

NASA has encouraged entrants to "think outside the box," so the organization expects the teams to get creative in approaches and to leverage advanced technologies to realize their designs, emphasized Janet L. Anderson, a spokesperson for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Teams can compete in any level and won't be negatively impacted for focusing on one.

"Teams may perhaps develop a way to use heat to fuse materials, or use a chemical reaction to solidify a slurry material," Anderson told TechNewsWorld. "Any of these groundbreaking technologies could win the 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, and go on to be a game changer for future NASA missions or commercial ventures."

SAMSUNG NEW LAUNCH ROUND SMART WATCH ALONGSIED Galaxy NOTE 5

SAMSUNG NEW LAUNCH ROUND SMART WATCH ALONGSIED Galaxy NOTE 5

samungs's new product cirucular smart watch has been delayed until the second half of the
year, according to reports

Last month, Samsung quietly revealed that it is working on a round Gear smartwatch - because the company invited developers to start making apps for it in advance of a proper announcement.
Now the SDK is available, and it seems the watch has a big innovation in store.


Based on info pulled from that official software development kit, the new Gear watch will feature a rotating bezel that lets you scroll through menus and make other inputs without touching the screen. It still has a touchscreen, of course, but like the Apple Watch digital crown, it offers a way to interact without obscuring the view.

SamMobile has unearthed numerous screenshots and concept art images from the SDK, and it looks like you'll be able to use the bezel to move between contacts, scroll through options, zoom into an image, increase the volume, and a fair bit more. We've got a few of those below, but hit the source link for a deeper look at the interface.

GOOGLE STARTS A NEW TYPE SECURE LOGIN

GOOGLE STARTS A NEW TYPE SECURE LOGIN

google introduces a new authentication apis to boost the security of its mobile an web apps.
Google has announced a new Google Identity Platform that gives developers a suite of tools to secure apps. The new tool allows users to sign in to third party apps with their Google Login similar to the way they login into service like Gmail, Play, Google+, and other Google services.

The platform has three flagship tools including Smart Lock for Passwords, Google Sign-in and Identity Toolkit. Smart Lock comes with an integrated password manager that allows users to sign in automatically to Android apps. The feature also supports auto fills credentials on websites viewed with Chrome. Smart Lock prefills login credentials across devices and prompts the app to save a password for future use. The tools have been used by Google to secure its services internally for some time now and have extended the functionality to third-party apps and developers through APIs now.

Google Sign-in allows users to securely connect to an app or site. The feature enables users to sign in with a Google account to log onto other third-party apps that integrate Google Sign-in. According to a report, New York Times claims that it has experienced a significant increase in new user sign-ups due to the new easier Google Sign-in. Google Identity Toolkit comes with a comprehensive authentication system which the company describes allows developers to "do sign-in the right way." The toolkit grows with apps and supports email and password authentication. Nontechnical developers can utilize the toolkit with simple configuration changes that add future sign-in options and migrate existing users.

Earlier today Google has also announced a 'My account' dashboard for users provides a 'step-by-step guide' through the users most important privacy and security settings. The new tool will give users more clarity on what information the internet giant can see from profiles and will also enable users to limit Google from logging their activities on PC's and mobile devices. The internet giant has been working to boost the security of its Web and mobile apps and has started tweaking its search ranking algorithms to encourage more websites to use secure encrypted connections. Last year, the company announced encryption for all Gmail messages.

FACEBOOK START'S NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LAB IN PARIS

FACEBOOK START'S NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LAB IN PARIS
facebook announces new aritificial intelligens

fb has opened an AI LAB in paris to an effort to make its online social network smarter and more profitable.
the social networking giant says that it plans to use AI to research through the flood of text, pictrue
and videos on its service

The social networking giant has been investing heavily in artificial intelligence and has set up a program called Facebook AI Research. The company already has artificial intelligence research teams in Menlo Park and in New York. The new Paris AI lab has six researchers at work and will double that number by year-end. Facebook says that the recruits for the lab will come from France's top public and private technological institutions. Facebook has hired Yann LeCun, a prominent French professor at New York University specializing in "deep learning" algorithm to head the lab. The AI applications would help to "eliminate spam and, eventually, violent videos" as well as open up new advertising avenues for Facebook. The company reportedly has doubled its European users since 2010 and has more users in Europe than in the US.
All major tech companies have been investing in artificial intelligence over the past few years. Rival Google also began an AI partnership with Oxford University in Britain in 2013. It acquired AI startup Deep Mind last year for more than $500 million. The company specializes in machine learning and describes itself as a developer of "cutting-edge artificial intelligence" that can learn for itself. Google also showed off a new digital assistant called Now on Tap at its recent I/O developer conference. Facebook said in a statement, "We chose Paris for this expansion because France is home to some of the best researchers in the world." Facebook plans to work with a team of researchers in Paris and says it plans to "work openly with and invest in the AI research community in France, the EU, and beyond as we strive to make meaningful progress in these fields. It's our hope that this research will ultimately help us make services like News Feed, photos and search even better and enable an entirely new set of ways to connect and share," the company said.

Facebook also announced a new feature that allows users to add PGP-encrypted keys to their profile. The new encryption would conceal messages and passwords from email services like Gmail and Yahoo, which regularly scan user inboxes for ad-targeting purposes. Users who use PGP to encrypt their email have two keys- a private key that they keep to themselves and the other is a public key that's given to anyone who wants to send them encrypted mail. Messages are encrypted using the public key but they can only be decrypted using the private key, so users will get an end-to-end encrypted email that only they can read.
