Facebook Ask Employees Use Android


Facebook reportedly appealed, or in some cases even forced, his servants to take their Android devices.

Why? Apparently the social networking company was upset by Android apps slow, full of bugs, and often have problems with the connection.

To improve the quality of their application, Facebook told the employees to replace their iPhone with Android devices in order to "feel yourself" what kind of Facebook app on Android.

How are believed by management would motivate employees to be more serious in improving the quality of the Facebook for Android app.

Unclear how many Facebook employees who switched to Android, or how widespread these policies are implemented within the company.

Clearly, the Facebook app for Android is lagging behind compared to similar apps on the iOS platforms like the iPhone and iPad.

Last Friday, Facebook issued an update applications for the iOS platform is now made ​​with Objective-C programming, which is the native iOS platform codebase. As a result, the Facebook application on iPhone and iPad to be more flexible and faster so more comfortable to wear.

On the other hand, Facebook for Android app relies on HTML5 that allows the distribution of updates to the user but has speed constraints.

South Korea Develops 3D Without Glasses Film Technology


 Researchers in South Korea are developing technology that could pave the way filming Casino 3D without the need for special glasses.

The technology uses a special coating so that when people see the movie screen, a 3D image is created. In this way, the brain creates a kind of illusion.

The research was conducted at Seoul National University and published in the journal Optics Express.

"This way, people can view 3D images without glasses. Saved approximately projector is being used and not just one," said Professor John Koshel of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona, who examined the study.

He describes the technology of 3D images in cinema created using stereocopy; technique projecting 2D images through special filters.

With the naked eye, the two images appear to rest on each other. However, when using special glasses, the left lens will help the eyes to see the image and the right lens, the other images.

TV director has tried similar technology but the viewer should be at some point to see the 3D image.

Electronics company that manufactures television sets also have implemented such technologies and allows a family sitting at a specific place watching a 3D movie.

However, such technology is not applicable to audiences totaling tens or even hundreds of like in the movies.

South Korean team mimicked these technologies but adapted to a wider coverage.

Scientist who led the study, Byoungho Lee, a professor at Seoul National University, said more research is needed.

But this technology is the "low-cost technology to produce 3D movies without the use of special glasses

Logitech Presents Keyboard Can Be Washed


If electronic devices are generally hostile to the water, not so with the latest product output Logitech keyboard. Because computer companion device that just is not a problem with the liquid.

Page TGDaily recently outlined that Logitech keyboard output that can be treated like a kitchenette with pots or pans. Amazingly, the K310 keyboard type it is waterproof and resistant to deep water submerged 27.9 centimeters (cm). But you need to pay attention to the keyboard USB cable as part of it is the only one that is not watertight.

Beyond that, you need not worry if you spill a drink on the keyboard. If you want to clean the stains, dust or crumbs, simply rinse the keyboard with water.

According to the Logitech, the drainage hole at the back of the K310 keyboard types that prevent water from sticking around the device. So that could be spared any damage, as well as liquid spills will dry out faster.

Advantages other keyboard is that you no longer need to worry if the symbols on the keys will fade after exposure to water. Because Logitech created the symbol by laser printing and coated, so it did not affect these symbols.

In addition to the plug-and-play USB keyboard that is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 7, also has 12 unique keys as shortcuts for browsing, email, media playback, etc..

Before circulating in other countries, the keyboard is planned for the first time will be launched in Europe in October. With a selling price of $ 60 to $ 70, or around Rp 569,400 - Rp 664,300. The plan is the K310 will be made by 5 million units

DNA tests Trees Reduce Illegal Timber


Call it CSI: Singapore. But unlike the television show Crime Scene Investigators are popular, here detectives hired to look for evidence of the suspected wood by shop owners as part of the global illegal timber trade worth billions of dollars.

The detectives will take wood samples and examined in the laboratory, run DNA tests that would indicate the species and origin of a piece of wood. They will also keep track of timber and timber products from the forest to the store to ensure that the delivery of the goods does not violate the law.

"It's like CSI program coupled with saving the Earth," said Jonathan Geach, executive director of the Double Helix Tracking Technologies, a Singapore company that has been developing and commercializing DNA testing for wood, and is the only company in the world to do it.

Every two seconds, according to recent research from the World Bank, an area of ​​forest the size of a football field cleared by loggers. Each year, illegal logging is spent forested areas the size of Ireland.

Money earned from a trade estimated by Interpol to reach $ 30 billion per year is not taxable and are often run by organized groups to fund crime and conflict. Deforestation contributes to global warming due to increasing carbon emissions, and cause erosion due to loss of water catchment areas. This eliminates the livelihoods of forest peoples and disrupt the global timber prices.

Until now, the fight against illegal timber trade waged through regulation and preventive efforts, but was not so successful. Currently the focus is on the use of the criminal justice system and law enforcement techniques.

The new law punishable by imprisonment and fines pushed many companies around the world for more hard to find out where they got the wood, rather than having to pay for their negligence.

Gibson Guitar Corp., which produces some of the most expensive guitar in the world, agreed on Aug. 6 to pay a penalty of $ 300,000 after admitting that there is a possibility of buying ebony from Madagascar they are doing is illegal.

Labeling errors, lies the origin or the replacement of wood species for other species are common practices in the timber trade. Authorities said that progress in the industry and the declining price of DNA testing increasingly allows companies to comply with new regulations in the United States and Europe regarding earlier practices.

Retail business such as Kingfisher, Marks & Spencer and timber wholesaler Simmonds Lumber Australia has been using the technology or are planning to include these tests in their business practices.

"We see this as a step forward," said Jamie Lawrence, adviser wood and forest sustainability in Kingfisher, the largest home improvement retailer in Europe. Kingfisher has been using the services of an ad-hoc DoubleHelix to uncover fraud cases wood supplies, says Lawrence.

With genetic testing equipment has been reduced, the size of the workbench prototype is in testing phase. If successful, laboratories around the world can run a cheap DNA test timber within two years.

A laboratory run by Andrew Low, chief scientific DoubleHelix and one plant geneticist, is the vanguard of the global battle against illegal logging.

In the laboratory located at the University of Adelaide, South Australia, the method of DNA extraction from wood, the table or the floor being refined - a breakthrough to commercialize the test for timber importers, home improvement stores and law enforcement agencies. "Like humans, trees also have a unique DNA," said Lowe.

"DNA is present in every cell of wood and you can not faking it," he told Reuters news agency.

In early 2011, Lowe can extract DNA from the decades-old wood and get an accurate result. It leads to an increase in business and DoubleHelix now has 14 clients who use their services, with the majority of the testing done in Adelaide.

In 2004, Lowe and his colleagues extracted DNA from oak from the Mary Rose owned by King Henry VIII, which was sunk in 1945 and salvaged in 1982.

When DoubleHelix began peddling his services in 2008, the story of DNA is difficult to sell. But when the new law in the U.S. is starting to show its teeth in the last two years, and tougher regulations will be implemented in Europe from 2013, they increased the number of clients, said Kevin Hill, founder DoubleHelix.

In two years, the company plans to market the DNA extraction technique permits Lowe to global laboratory, because the timber industry worth $ 150 billion are under pressure to filter out illegal timber.

However, highly accurate DNA testing has limitations due to the absence of a genetic map of a comprehensive global tree. But the mapping is very expensive and time consuming. For teak trees alone can spend $ 1 million.
Currently available data bases for 20 new species of trees, especially wood of valuable tropical forests. Meanwhile, Kingfisher shops alone has 16,000 wood products, which is of course difficult to track one by one.

The weak link in the supply of wood in the midst of the forest and sawmill, where the stolen wood and forest derived from illegally harvested timber can be inserted between the legal. DNA testing can solve this, according DoubleHelix and their oldest customers, Simmonds Lumber.

Simmonds selling merbau imported from Indonesia, where half of the illegal timber logging, according to the World Bank study. By using DoubleHelix system, each shipment tracked merbau logs from the forest to the sawmill using DNA samples to ensure that no other wood included. DNA samples are then matched with data from the sawmill to the warehouse Simmonds in Australia.

But Simmonds alone can not provide the higher prices on wood products that have been tested for DNA because of the fierce competition in the timber trade. "DNA rather than marketing and increased stocks gain additional margin," said executive director John Simon.

Cost of DNA testing and verification services is $ 250 for each container, or 0.5 percent of the value of the timber. DoubleHelix said that the main goal is to make cheap DNA test so that each company will do it and solve the problem of illegal timber trade.

DNA testing has an impact in the lawsuit, said Shelley Gardner, logging program coordinator in the Department of Agriculture and the Forest Service in the United States. "Every time we deal with the court, they defend themselves by saying that DNA testing is an inhibitor. It's only small cases. When talking about the actual trade, I think this test will give a big impact, "he said.

Currently, no one knows for sure how many illegal timber products on the market, so the detective work silently. Working closely with international NGOs, they plan to test in stores Australia in the next few weeks, before heading to Europe and the United States, said Geach

Why Android logo does not appear as Facebook status updates


Above the title question is one of the questions frequently asked by users of Android in the Android forums or forum Facebook world. And if the question was also addressed to me, certainly I do not know how to answer because I am not a member of the team or apartment developmentnya Facebook's Zuckerberg. hehehehehe

There are opinions that say that Facebook considers all of HP's Android platform is the same as all the usual HP so that sometimes appear on the FB status via mobile or via mobile. Yuppps .... seems reasonable but not completely bener. Why? Let us think that all of HP's smart in principle is the same. HP is HP, and it's definitely Mobile. If ga mobile means HP is not .... not true ....!??
Second, although both HP, in fact almost all of HP's Android smartphone is definitely called a kind of do not care to be where the price level. Why is that? Because the Android OS, virtually all existing smart applications in the Android Market could be run in accordance with the Android OS version number is taken as v2.1 Eclair, Froyo v.2.2, v2.3 or v3.0 Gingerbeard Honeycomb and able to carry out tasks nan routine of our daily essential such as Push Email, or just a minimal Office Viewer application talaga. And many are free too loh in the Android Market.
Third, is the experience when some time ago when a status update on Facebook For Android, all the update status on Facebook to the note via Android. But slowly then, update status on Facebook For Android then returns to normal mobile or cellular.
Then why did this happen?
Indeed there is no official confirmation of the statement of Google or Facebook itself. Instead of formal confirmation, many Android users are furious with the Facebook because even still be able to display the status update feature via a Blackberry. Even later the old players like Apple Iphone denger-denger also can not display via iphone on Facebook. Indeed, what is the difference between the Blackberry with its own Android Iphoneatau. Well, this finally led to speculation that there is play between Facebook and Blackberry.
And as with any OS, Blackberry is still an OS. Just like Google Android or IOS Apple. Opinion from the wild when it comes up Google's plans to create a social network called Google + which is still in project completion.
It is this last statement is believed some Android users who make why Facebook finally makes Android tick off. With the advent of Google + will automatically create a competition between social networks more stringent. It is perfectly reasonable for a user with Android, automatically all the data we can be synchronized with Google Android without the re-register, because the Google database will automatically synchronize all of your Android with all applications that integrate with Google. Like what, most accessible is the data account on Youtube, Picassa, GMail, GMaps, Blogger and other applications that berafliasi with Google.
This is what makes up the appearance helm with Google +. In other words, although not register Google + project has not run anything, Google has started a smart way to start with the big mega projects, ... ANDROID! Bete is that? Back to the foregoing, Google + can enter your data as the user's Google + just by signing in with your username and password as the user's Google account. Loo ...... Well it makes sense if the Facebook so upset with Google Android and remove the list of official status update theirs. If you talk dirty business ethically, Facebook has to understand the disease narcissistic than the HP that sometimes they are more concerned with how cool Update Status eg via Blackberry. Though not all Blackberry users are able to use his Blackberry optimally. So what happens when this question is addressed to the Blackberry users, why choose Blackberry, might be the answer because pengin status update on Facebook could be cool, so looh via Blackberry .... In addition to the automatic Blackberry Blackberry user can use the facility's messenger for free via the Blackberry Messenger (BBM). The existence of stigma in the community that the BB is more expensive items plugged condition that "Blackberry's goods Mahal, Mahal Item must be cool, definitely Pake BB Cool, Cool huh Update via BB, want to chat cool, use of fuel." It must have been nglihat this condition is not ..? And this was the one who becomes a commodity fertile for Facebook to develop its business. So Facebook actually implementing the fulfillment of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory about the need for respect and for self beraktuliasi. With the absolute theory of human needs, Blackberry users have made a valued status and actualize according to the social features of the Blackberry's.
So all is not understood why ijo Android robot logo you do not want to appear in your Facebook status update?
Live to fight the winner and the last remains a winner. All the defense business of social networking leader Facebook as the world's number one would be legal because Facebook has a prerogative over all appearance of the materials that appear on Facebook. And if this is not done up could be a golden times Facebook will soon be over and Google will soon be replaced by +. Could Mark Zuckerberg imagine if suddenly the instant and rapid Facebook users into Google users + just because a user's Android ..? And of course he did not want to suddenly appear when the slogan, "Living With Gadgets Android Cool, Cool Interacting with Google +". Moreover, the competition to become the world's most popular internet website actually does occur between Facebook and Google itself behind the scenes. Still less confidence see the Maps application on Facebook. Whose was it? Google competitor's bro. Yahoo .... Bing!

Google Earth pyramids findings Trigger Controversy


Angela Micol, archaeological research, claimed to have found two pyramids in the desert of Egypt, earlier this week. Micol, who studied the pictures from the air to search for the man-made features, find the two pyramids are using Google Earth.

The first site is located just 2.4 kilometers from the ruins of an old town called Dimai. Formation consists of one large square and three other smaller features. These small features parallel to the northern star, just like the Pyramids of Giza. However, even its greatest feature is not in accordance with this straight line.

The discovery of the second pyramid is about 19 kilometers from Abu Sidhum, city on the edge of the Nile. Striking features of the plateau with the triangular plateau that has eroded. Center of this triangle has a circular feature, most likely a well or mound.

Micol claimed if the findings are supported by Nabil Selim as an Egyptologist. Selim said if the two pyramids were not previously known to exist. These findings also have been sent to several experts for analysis. "The image speaks by itself, it is clear what is contained all of these buildings. Although the research requires the field to verify if they in fact are the pyramids," says Micol.

However, the discovery has sparked controversy from other archaeologists. Sarah Parcak, an archaeologist from the University of Alabama, United States, expressed doubts about the findings Micol. "Report of Google Earth is coming from someone who is not Egyptologist, archaeologist, or a remote sensing expert," said Parcak. In addition, the added Parcak, the location of the discovery of any doubt, which is about eight kilometers west of the Nile Valley.

More subtle criticism delivered Robert Litman, an archaeologist from the University of Hawaii and is also director of excavations at Tell Timai Egypt. "Maybe it was a pyramid, but perhaps also other structures," he said. Geological evidence is needed to validate the process of building the pyramids and is different from other structures.

N-250 aircraft to be markers of Work Child Birth of the Nation Indonesia


Ten of August, seventeen years ago, there was a historic event that became a marker of technology inception of the nation's work in Bandung, West Java.

When it launched its maiden flight N-250 aircraft Gatotkaca, which created the nation's children.

The plane is the production of Nusantara Aircraft Industry (IPTN) who is now a PT Dirgantara Indonesia.

It draws from N-250 aircraft Gatotkaca uses fly by wire technology is quite sophisticated and unprecedented in its class.

Gatotkaca maximum cruising speed is 610 km per hour (330 miles per hour).

The economic speed 555 km per hour, which is the highest speed class 50 passenger turboprop.

Operating altitude of 25,000 feet (7620 meters) with a cruising range of 1480 km.

IPTN which was established in 1976 has made planes and helicopters under license from the company's other aircraft, the C-212 aircraft which is licensed from Casa Spain.

Then there is the NC-212 which is the development of the aircraft.

IPTN continued to produce commercial aircraft such as the larger CN-235, named Tetuko which architectures are the result of cooperation with Casa of Spain.

Keep in mind also the plane of the domestic product has been certified test the safety and security of international aviation.

BJ Habibie as the originator of the birth of the aerospace industry in the country said the test flight to safety and security of the planes of IPTN has been recognized internationally.

That is, the planes are recognized internationally for the security and flight safety. Historical event on August 10, 1995 was originally intended as a Birthday gift to the Golden-50 Indonesia's Independence.

However, in a way, because the responses of political and community support that is large enough, then August 10 serve as an important milestone in the journey of science and technology of Indonesia.

President of the Republic of Indonesia through Presidential Decree No. 71 of 1995 set August 10 as National Technology Awakening Day (Hakteknas).

Now the National Technology Awakening Day has entered the age of 17 years. Golden age in 1995 was not repeated again in this age of sweet seventeen.

The era of high tech has ever appeared in London at that time to the history of science and technology and innovation nation Indonesia.

Even at home, well-rooted culture of science and technology have on society. As a result, the rate of import of goods from overseas unusually large.

However, the government finally realized that the culture of science and technology with the delivery innovations become very important for the prosperity, welfare, and national independence.

Such as the National Technology Awakening Day theme this year is "Innovation for the independence of".

Minister of Research and Technology (Research and Technology) Gusti Muhammad Hatta responded to these themes as a positive move to grow the culture of innovation and love the world of science and technology.

"It's been proven that countries rich in innovation is the developed countries. That is, innovations that created the community in a country is able to contribute to the welfare and prosperity of its people," said Minister of Technology.

The Government had already started to use more teringrasi innovation for public welfare purposes, overcome the problem of poverty, creating sustainable development and environmental pro.

Research and Technology saw the National Technology Awakening Day this year as the perfect momentum for Indonesia to reflect on what has been done the nation's children in 1995, and should have continued the tradition of cultural innovation.

Especially now that the government is echoing the Master Plan to Accelerate Economic Development and Expansion of Indonesia (MP3EI) with one of the pillars is to encourage the development of human resources and science and technology to suit the needs of increasing competitiveness.

This is where the culture of science and innovation is expected to grow. Because, in this very necessary MP3EI based human capital development of science, technology, and innovation planned and systematic.

"This is where the need to enter the Ministry of Research and Technology program of the National Innovation System and the innovation transformation efforts in economic activity," he explained.

"Briz-M booster and two satellites in orbit transition is not detected," Roscosmos said in a statement on his official website. "However, it received a signal from the driver of an emergency temporary orbit."

According to preliminary data, Briz-M on the schedule, but driving it only worked for seven minutes instead of 18 minutes and five seconds as she has diprogamkan.

The source of the space industry told RIA Novosti that the satellite does not have a chance to break away from the booster and reached orbit destination.

He said that the launch Proton rocket with Briz booster may be postponed until the experts determine the cause of the failure and will adjust the scheduled launch.

Damage to the Briz-M booster resulted in the loss of a communications satellite Express-AM4 in August 2011.

NASA robot Start to explore Mars


California: After eight and a half month flight from Earth, the robot's Aviation and Space Agency for the United States (NASA), Curiosity Rover, scheduled to land on Mars today, Sunday (5/8). If it arrives on schedule, the machine weighs 900 pounds will explore the Martian surface in order to prove the existence of life on the red planet.

"We've been waiting for this. Sunday night would be a good time for us," said one NASA scientist at the Laboratory of Pasadena, California, Adam Steltzner, as reported by space.com.

Robot that has six legs, one arm, and use the iron wheels will be enabled to track and collect data on Mars by 4828 meter high mountain climbing. In addition to life, hopefully, the discovery of Curiosity can answer past temperature and weather of Mars, as well as increase the confidence the U.S. government to provide financial assistance to NASA in further exploration.

"It is the mission transition, reveals the presence of water to detect life on Mars. If successful, this mission will be the pioneer exploration of the next planet," said Mars Exploration Program Director Doug McCuistion.

Curiosity Rover officially known as the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL). However, this machine is more popularly known as Curiosity induced 6th grade girl from Kansas through writing essays. At first glance, the rover is not the right tool to replace a geologist collects rocks on Mars. But inspection of the tool is demonstrated if he has a sensitivity as a human.

Google Server Secrets


Google this time give you a little secret about the server and its data center to CNET, of course we want to know what makes google the technology used is different, so you can find living with a very very short time this course is determined by how sophisticated the data setting center owned by google.

Most large companies always buy products from such servers from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, or Sun Microsystems. But not for Google, which incidentally have hundreds or even thousands of servers running on each core, had to google servers to their own designs. Project was initiated by Ben at Jai, who has been designing / assembling various types of Google's servers, and finally create a Google server that is more modern than other server system that makes everyone was amazed to see it.

What is interesting on a server that is used on the google server?
Battery on each server

Each Google server each have a 12-volt battery to supply power to the center in case of electrical problems. Google has been using this technology since 2005, data center has been designed in such a way that the size of a container in which there are 1.160 server, for power consumption, can reach 250 kilowatts.

Google apparently has long focused on energy efficiency that they now give a little glimpse of their experiences. Along with the recession lead to lower budget google operation, plus the issue of environmental and energy prices continue to rise makes Google should turn into efficiency evangelism, said Urs Hoelzle, Google's vice president of the division operation.

Due to this google should focus their data centers to be more efficient in terms of dealing with the distribution of energy / power, cooling, and make sure everything is running correctly and efficiently said Chris Malone, who was involved in data center design and efficiency measurement. Google data center has now reached an efficient level of the Environmental Protection Agency until 2011 menggunaakn course with more advanced technology.

Why use a battery?

As a special Assembled PC is already integrated battery

Data-center which has been highly dependent on the UPS is large, centralized, it can be said to require a giant battery that must be alive when power interruption occurs before the generator takes the time to live. By constructing a special power supply into the server will be cheaper than the cost it was only calculated from the number of servers owned.

"Of course it would be cheaper than using UPS which tersental" and also "no disposal capacity."

Due to the google efficiency is a financial factor. Giant UPS is able to achieve 92 to 95% efficient, while the server-mounted batteries do it better, because they can measure the actual energy use with efficiency of 99.9%. "

The Google server was designed with a thickness of 3.5 inch 2U, or 2 rack units. Each server uses 2 processor, 2 hard drives, and eight memory slots mounted on a motherboard that was designed by Gigabyte. Google uses x86 processors from both AMD and Intel, Google also uses the battery design for its network equipment they are.

Power Supply and Battery
Advanced Power Supply

One form of Google's obsession with efficiency is the design of their power supply. Power supply current as ever to convert AC (alternating current-electricity from the building) to DC (direct-current from the battery), and the power supply usually has a 5-volt and 12-volt DC power. But for them to Google's designs supply only degan power 12-volt power, while the conversion process is done from the features of the motherboard.

This caused Google to add a surcharge of $ 1 or $ 2 for designing the motherboard, but this will treat price cheap power supply, so the power supply will only be in designs using the highest capacity. Google even pay attention to the better efficiency if trasmit to electrical energy through the copper wires at 12 volts compared to 5 volts.
Container for data center

Most people buying a computer server at the time they need it, but Google thinks are more different, especially in terms of scale. Jimmy Clidaras found that the efficiency of the basic needs of the google data center in a shipping container komposisikan size standard 1AAA, 1.160 inside the server, in which there are multiple containers in a data center.

Modular data center is not unique to Google; Sun Microsystems and Rackable Systems. But Google has started using them in 2005.
