An appetency for weight control tools

                                                 An appetency for weight control tools

When I received the results of a routine cholesterol test received this summer, I was sure there was a mistake. I am young, healthy and unstressed, or so I thought. I work out, too, and most impartial observers - and some partial character - would describe myself as thin. Plus, I eat a nutritious diet, I swear. So why my LDL levels exceed my iq - Or for that matter, Einstein?

 The facts were grim: My genes are susceptible to metabolic syndrome me, my doctor told me. Like my ancestors, I was on a fast track to heart disease and diabetes. My doctor ordered me to get my carbs to reduce and come up with a rigorous exercise plan. I rarely checked what I eat and how much exercise I get. I had no idea how to go about the logistics of it. How would I count my carbs? How would I get my fitness routine?

Of course there are apps. I am looking forward to scour the market for equipment and programs for me and a family member who wanted to join me in my low-carb adventure to help improve our health. I found two types of technologies: fitness trackers to monitor physical activity, and PC and smartphone apps for diet. For weeks, I tested several of them. And while I found a few to be very helpful, they were all a little less than fantastic.

I tried four high-end fitness gadgets: Nike Fuel Band ($ 149), the Fitbit A (99.95 dollars), Jawbone's Up ($ 129.99) and Body Media FIT wireless bracelet ($ 149). I also threw in a plain-Jane pedometer, the Omron HJ-720ITC, which I found for $ 31 at many online stores.

All these devices operate in the same way. You attach them to your person (Fuel Up Band and fit around the wrist, FIT goes around your upper arm and Fitbit and Omron pedometer can be placed in a pocket or clipped to your belt). So, if you move, the units measure your activity.

 The Fitbit pedometer and were easier to handle, I hardly noticed them filled with my keys and phone in your pocket. On the other hand, because they are not portable I often forgot them on my nightstand, where it did no good.

But during this enormous sacrifices, I found the Fitbit and cheap Omron best. The Fitbit is a discrete piece of plastic about the size of a USB drive. The software - available for Mac and Windows PCs, but also iOS and Android devices - is easy to learn and offers numerous graphs and statistics to track your progress. The most useful is a graph of your activity during the day, you can see how many calories you have burned during exercise and your behavior accordingly. Maybe go for a short walk after lunch?

Combine all these features, and you get an app that makes a diet less drag. With My Fitness Pal, I am able to log all day meals in just a minute or two. I long for the time when a kind of sensor will automatically follow my intake. But that day is not imminent. For now, your diet stick with my fitness Pal is the next best thing to eat an old what you want.

Google Challenging to Microsoft in Business of application

                                   Google Challenging to Microsoft in Business of application

SAN FRANCISCO - It took years, but Google seems to cut into Microsoft's stronghold - companies.

 Google's software for businesses, Google Apps, consists of applications for document writing, cooperation and text and video communications - all cloud-based, so no software on the computer of an office worker. Google is promoting the idea for more than six years, and it seemed that it would especially appeal to small businesses and tech start-ups.

But the idea is catching on to the bigger companies. In the past year, Google has scored an impressive number of victories, including the Swiss drugmaker Hoffmann-La Roche, where more than 80,000 employees make use of the package, and the Interior Ministry, which uses 90,000.

 Many companies that sell software on the cloud add features without increasing prices, but also the traditional practice in the industry to break through rare offer discounts list.

Microsoft's Office suite of software, there is no e-mail that has been installed on a desktop or laptop. In 2013, the list price for the company to be $ 400 per computer, but many companies pay half after negotiating a deal volume.

 Microsoft has also jumped on the office-in-the-cloud trend. In June 2011 released Office 365, and now offers its software in both a cloud version and a hybrid version, as cloud computing and conventional servers. Office 365 starts at a list price of $ 72 per year per person, and can annually cost as much as $ 240 per person in versions that many more functions and software development capabilities. Microsoft says it has more than Google for money, but the product is not won many converts from Google.

In a recent report, called Gartner, the information technology research firm, Google "the only strong competitor" of Microsoft in cloud-based business productivity software, but it warned that "it may not be of the utmost importance for the search giant."

 Google's revenue from apps, according to a former director, who asked not to be named, to have a good relationship with Google, amounting to perhaps $ 1 billion of $ 37.9 billion Google acquired in 2011.

Shaw Industries, a carpet maker in Dalton, Georgia, with approximately 30,000 employees, the transition to Google Apps this year for communication such as e-mail and video conferencing. Jim Nielsen, the company's director of enterprise technology, calculated using Google instead of similar products from Microsoft would cost more than seven years, the price is one of the thirteenth of Microsoft.

Shaw is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, run by Warren E. Buffett, but the close friendship of Mr. Buffett and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, not waving Mr. Nielsen. "If you add up the numbers are pretty convincing," he said.

Besides the lower price, Google simplicity in pricing. Mr. Nielsen said he had to sort through 11 pricing models to find out what he would have to pay Microsoft.

Samsung Galaxy S3 production has been closed

                                           Samsung Galaxy S3 production has been closed

Owners of some Samsung Galaxy S III smartphones complain their equipment suddenly brick, a tech site reported over the weekend.

The Next Web quoted some owners who said the phone would not return after being charged at night, or when the screen is off.

"Users report that the motherboard is the root of the problem, and that flash memory is damaged and not, although the devices appear to be somewhere between 150 and 200 days to die."

She added that although Samsung has not officially recognized the problem, users that their devices to repair centers say they have been told by staff problem seems recently affects many people.

The Next Web cited reports in which the respective Samsung devices replaced under warranty, whether people have the devices installed roots or non-standard firmware.

But it also said that Samsung is reportedly the same revision of motherboards, raising the possibility the problem may occur again.

Wireless phone charging in cars at 2013

                                            Wireless phone charging in cars at 2013

Charge your smartphone while driving could soon be a simple process requires no cables or adapters, but uses a special wireless mat.

Toyota plans to make the system for mobile devices to launch in 2013 its new Avalon sedan, using a load standard, known as Qi (pronounced "chee").

Chrysler wants a similar approach in his Dodge Dart model.

One analyst told the BBC function is probably widespread in the coming months. The wireless charging option will have a share of $ 1,950 (£ 1,200) Toyota "technology package" needs to be said available from next spring.

If you connect a device to recharge, a driver simply placing it on the mat, but the handset has a Qi protocol embedded in it.

Currently Qi wireless charging supported by 34 mobile phone models, including LG Google Nexus 4, Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC Windows Phone 8X.

Magnetic induction
Qi works through magnetic induction, which involves the transfer of energy via a magnetic field.

But in 2008, the Wireless Power Consortium, where more than 100 members, including Samsung, Nokia, HTC, Motorola Mobility and Sony an agreement on an open standard for wireless power called Qi.

This means that any Qi-enabled device is compatible with any Qi charger, regardless of brand.

General Motors announced in 2011 plans to build a road through magnetic induction in its Chevrolet Volt to introduce, but so far it has not happened.

An Israeli company Powermat Technologies, is currently placing charging pad for cell phones in many public places in the U.S., including Starbucks.

There are companies explore wireless induction charging for electric cars, which works by having a loading path on the floor of your garage.

The technology is finally mainstream, says Shaun Collins, analyst at consultancy CCS Insight.

"Wireless charging is emerging after years in the wilderness, and is now believed [more]," he told the BBC.

Twitter account closed with images of child

                                                 Twitter account closed with images of child

Several private Twitter accounts are disabled after they were revealed to indecent images of children contain.

Some hacker groups claim to have discovered them, NSPCC said.

Members of the public have reported accounts for Greater Manchester Police and North Yorkshire Police, while CEOP - exploitation of children and Online Protection Centre - says it is "ready".

CEOP - police unit dedicated to eradicating the sexual abuse of children - said that 25 to 30 reports on these accounts had.
A CEOP spokesman Twitter had blocked the accounts and the report of the finding of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) - CEOP in the U.S. right - as an American company was legally required.

As for the people to store such content, Professor Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey Department of Computing, said she increasingly social media instead of computers.

"If they use the Internet to keep all the images so they will be able to argue that it is not them. Weight of evidence is not the same."

Microsoft Windows new versions sales down

                                            Microsoft Windows new versions sales down

It used to be that a new version of the Windows operating system enough to get people excited about buying a new computer, making the sale is a beautiful doll.

 Not this time. Windows 8, the latest version of the software from Microsoft, not for shoppers to pack in a Microsoft shop in a mall here last week, at a time when parking in the area was crowded. The stream of shoppers leaving the store with merchandise was nothing like the steady flow in a crowded Apple Store above.

Claude Ballard was one of the customers in the store that Microsoft Surface, designed a new Microsoft Windows tablet. Mr. Ballard, who described himself as a "Semir tired" computer systems manager for a real estate company, said he was fascinated by the striking design of Windows 8 - but not enough to be economical to buy a new computer this year.

"It's the real economy," he said. "It is a better year for my mechanic than it is for me."

Weak PC sales this holiday season suggests that the battle of Microsoft and other companies that rely heavily on the computer business will not soon fade. Many consumers already own PCs and seem to be satisfied with what they have, especially in a shaky economy where cheaper mobile devices offers for part of their wallets.

While many tablets running again, Microsoft's touch-friendly Windows, they have so far failed to get out of the shadow of competing products from Apple and Amazon and other entities that are broken up by holiday shoppers.

Emmanuel Fromont, president of the Americas division of Acer, the world's No. 4 PC maker, said sales of its Windows 8 PCs were lower than expected.

 These figures do not include sales in stores from Microsoft, which was the only place on a surface tablet to buy in this period, but because the stores are scarce, analysts believe it is unlikely that they made a big difference.

"I think everyone would have hoped for a better start," said Stephen Baker, an analyst at NPD. "The thing is, this market is not in the same market Windows 7 or Vista or even XP launched."

What previous versions of Windows all came during periods when the PC's status as the center of the computer seemed much safer. In the intervening years, smartphones and tablets much more serious rivals for a share of the consumption of technology. PC shipments declined in most of the year.

 Mr. Sacconaghi predicted that global PC sales, a decrease of 3 percent in 2012.

The change in the cost of tablets is one of the reasons that Windows 8 is so important for the future of Microsoft. The company revised its operating system with a radically different, tile-based interface that is easier to navigate touch screen devices. Microsoft wants the software is flexible enough that it can still be used on conventional laptops and desktops, including the newer models with touch screens.

Scientists reporting of Warming faster in Antarctica

                                           Scientists reporting of Warming faster in Antarctica

West Antarctica is much more than scientists had thought in the past half century warming, new research suggests an ominous finding as much ice can be vulnerable to the long-term collapse, with potentially far-reaching implications for sea level.

 "The surprises keep coming," said Andrew J. Monaghan, a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, who participated in the study. "If you have this kind of warming to see, I think it's alarming."

Of course, warming in Antarctica a relative term. West Antarctica is still a very cold place, with an average annual temperature in the middle of the ice sheet that almost 50 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.

But the temperature did not rise above freezing even in summer, and the new research raises the possibility that it may start to happen more often, possibly weakening the ice sheet by surface melting. The ice cap is already under fire at the edges of warmer sea water, and scientists are wary of any new threat.

A paper published Sunday by the journal Nature Geoscience reports that the temperature at a research station in the middle of West Antarctica has warmed by 4.4 degrees Celsius since 1958. It is about twice as much as scientists thought, and three times the total global warming, making the center of West Antarctica is one of the fastest warming regions on Earth.

 A nearby area called the Antarctic Peninsula, which extends north from West Antarctica and reasonably good data are available, was already known to be quick off the ground. A 2009 paper found significant warming in most of West Antarctica, but these results were challenged by a group that included climate contrarians.

To try to get to the bottom of the demand, David H. Bromwich from Ohio State University, a team that focused on a temperature record. On a lonely outpost called Byrd Station, in the heart of West Antarctica, humans and automatic systems keep the temperature and other weather variables since the late 1950s.

It is by far the longest weather record in this region, but it had intermittent gaps and other problems, there were many scientists wary of. The Bromwich group decided to try to save Byrd plate.

 A large proportion of the heating detected in the new paper was made in the 1980s, at about the same time the planet started to heat warm. Recently, Dr. Bromwich said the weather in West Antarctica appears to have been a little erratic. In the summer of 2005, warmed the interior of West Antarctica up enough ice for a few days of the surface undergoes melting.

Dr. Bromwich are afraid that this could eventually be routine, may accelerate the degradation of the West Antarctic ice sheet, but the heating is not fast enough for that to happen immediately. "We're talking decades in the future, I think," said Dr. Bromwich.

Becarefull to all Android smartphone users

                                                Be careful to all Android smartphone users

If the victim does not have an unlimited testing plan, the next phone bill a whopper, because each infected phone can blow thousands of viral text messages a day.

Android smartphone users beware. Spam text messages began circulating that the handset can infect so constant virulent text messages to thousands of live phone per day.

This discovery comes as hackers continue to explore the Android platform, especially for security holes immediately expected in 2013.

"The mobile threat continues to grow at a very fast pace with threats only increased in complexity," said Dan Hoffman, mobile security researcher at networking company Juniper Networks.

Messaging security firm Cloud mark Research recently discovered a malicious spam campaign that sends text messages to Android users, offering free versions of Need for Speed ​​Most Wanted, Angry Birds Star Wars, Grand Theft Auto and other popular games.

By installing the free app, the user is actually a hidden program connecting their handset to a command and control server in Hong Kong downloading says Cloud mark researcher Andrew Conway. The Hong Kong server then sends the handset a list of 50 numbers, viral copies of messages and instructions to start sending messages to each of the numbers.

Former Android spammers to install and activate dozens of SIM card - the chip at the heart of mobile phones - and each card has served as an individual spam-rays phone. But it can be expensive, and airlines are better able to detect and block such campaigns.

Using contaminated Android phones, instead, is related to how spammers use compromised computers to distribute spam.

"If they get malware on a variety of devices, and indeed enough phones, so it's hard for them all to be discovered and deactivated, which greatly improves the economy of spammers," Conway said.

The victim can lose in two ways. If they do not have an unlimited texting plan, the next phone bill a whopper. It takes about 65 seconds automatically text 50 phone, and Hong Kong server sends a new set of numbers. So every infected phone can blow thousands of viral text messages a day.

What's more, the malicious program also blocks incoming messages from a person who is not on the user's contact list. "So the telephone company or a friend can not text you back and say," Stop sending spam "," Conway says.

In such cases, the carrier decide unilaterally terminate your text messages can be, he says.

Cloudmark estimates that only a few thousand Android smartphones are infected, although damaged text messages continue to circulate. More troubling is the idea that this attack would be a precursor of things to come in 2013, especially for Android users.

Apple, Microsoft and Research In Motion smartphones are much less focused. That's because Google developed Android as an open system that makes it easy for manufacturers of mobile phones and web application developers to jump on board. Android has become the world's most popular smartphone platform. But it has also become the biggest hacker target.

Juniper Networks has followed a 350% increase in malignant and invasive apps aimed mainly Android users in the 12 months to the end of October. "Attacks are becoming more vicious and illegal," said Juniper Hoffman.

Conway recommends Android users must strictly follow the official application store, Android Market and unsolicited offers that arrive via SMS to ignore. If you have a suspicious text message offering, send a text message to 7726, a free service provided by transport companies to eliminate spam.

Google Play is a "99.99% reliable" because the search giant has been on high alert for hackers and break fast solutions.

"You are much safer than Google Play from another source, particularly from Asia," says Conway. "If an offer sounds too good to be true, then it is a fake."
