Research: Most of the deaths Accelerate Seating

NEW YORK - Too much sitting each day can become a weapon to accelerate the death of someone. Because, sitting in a long time will increase the risk of serious health.

Usually, in anticipation of this, people believe if most sitting must be balanced by going to the gym for a workout routine. But apparently, the researchers found something else. According to them, if someone fills all day to sit, remain a serious health risk will be approached, although he also went to the gym regularly.

Therefore, according to researchers from the American Cancer Society, Alpha Patel said that to prevent an early death is not enough just to nge-gym routine. Each person is required to not spend a long time in the seat, not just sitting behind an office desk, avoid sitting too long in front of the television and playing games.

In addition, the routine must sit for long interspersed by moving the entire body to walk outside the office with sufficient frequency. For example walking to take a drink during breaks, or went to a cafe or restaurant nearby for lunch.

"Someone who suffer from obesity will experience the early death risk more quickly if he spends all day just by sitting activities, rather than their thin," Patel said, as quoted by MSNBC, Monday (26/07/2010).

Some Internet porn sites now accessible in China

BEIJING - Word leaked out slowly, spread by people with web skills on Twitter: Internet pornography once that was blocked by Chinese government censors was openly available.

"If you do not already cracking down on pornographic websites? A lot of porn sites and forums are available," wrote William Long blogger technology in their diet.

Messages like that startled the Chinese Internet, used to block the Internet from the authorities. The country has been in the middle of raids against pornography much publicity, and there has been no announcement of any change in government policy.

However, eight weeks later, porn sites are still accessible. Still unanswered are questions about whether a formal change in policy, technical failure or some kind of test by general disapproval, the Chinese Internet police.

"This has never been done with the Internet (in Chinese) before," he said in Beijing over the Internet analyst Zhao Jing, who goes by the English name Michael Anti.

Whatever the reason, the change has thrown even more what many see as the main mission of aggressive Internet censors in China: the lock sites and content that could challenge the political authority of the Communist government. Websites about human rights and dissidents are also routinely prohibited.

"Maybe they are thinking that if Internet users can view some porn, then do not pay much attention to political affairs," said Anti.

The government has not said why the porn sites were unblocked. Repeated calls to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were left unanswered, and the Ministry of Public Security and the State Council Information Office - everyone involved in the supervision of the Web - did not respond to requests by fax to comments.

China has the largest online population of 420 million - more than the total U.S. population. While the Internet is the most irresponsible media well pampered in China, the government has the most extensive Internet police the system, technical filters that block sites based on certain words to human monitors scan bulletin boards and micro-blogging posts.

Google Inc. censorship issues led to clash publicly with China earlier this year and finally closed its search engine in China and redirect users to Hong Kong.

Tired of control, many Chinese have learned to move the "great firewall" or GFW, as the system is known.

Few Chinese will admit to surfing for porn because it is illegal. Many web sites remain inaccessible, and of these, sites that somehow evade control are often blocked in a matter of hours. But the demand is there.

"The more you restrict something, the more people pay attention," said an employee of 29 years of age in a logistics company owned who declined to be identified because surfing for porn on a business trip.

Sites that suddenly became available around the end of May include English language PornHub, YouPorn and, along with numerous sites that offer downloads of China, despite Combat and others say that the Chinese-language sites are known blocked.

Wen Yunchao, a popular blogger who writes about social issues and the Internet under the name Beifeng, said even more porn sites available in recent days, including a well-known Chinese site called "Xingba" or "Bar of sex .

"In the past, the GFW would use pornography as an" excuse for censorship, said Wen. "We are not even trying to cover up."

China society conservative attitudes about sex are changing rapidly, especially among young people, who constitute the majority of Internet users. The trial and conviction this year in southern China, a university professor who used the Internet to organize orgies sparked a debate on privacy and sexual freedom.

A survey of 900 women graduates in 17 universities in Shanghai showed that 70 percent thought that night are not immoral, and over half said they could understand if a girl became a rich man's lover, according to state media.

Shengqing Liao, a journalism professor who led the study, was quoted by the newspaper People's Daily said that "the attitudes of the students come from its respect for individual privacy. They consider sex as a private matter and respect the choices of others .

Some speculate the proliferation of social networking sites and Twitter services, such as the Great Firewall was severe, requiring the government to release some free porn sites the ability to spy others.

"I think when that GFW has not been able to block all domain names, resources be allocated to block sites or political urgency," said Long, technology blogger based in Shenzhen, and declined to give his real name in Chinese.

As part of the change, employees of the office cracks down on pornography and unauthorized publications no longer have to report porn sites based overseas to the police because of difficulties in finding Chinese government responsible for the magazine Oriental Outlook said in May. Censors only need to take into account locations, the report said.

Due to a dozen agencies regulate the Internet in China, the availability porn may be the result of a transfer of responsibilities, "said Xiao Qiang, director of the Berkeley China Internet at the University of California-Berkeley.

"The Great Firewall is not very serious to the blocking of porn sites. He was never," he said. The objectives of truth, said, include political information currently negative reports about the leaders, and all that can trigger a protest.

"That kind of information is where the focus is really the censorship," Xiao said. "Pornography, are simply not wanting to do it."(Yahoo!)

calculation of Hollywood: Internet + TV = anarchy

One way or another, the rules are making their way into the world of online video. For example, the video format Ultraviolet recently announced proposed by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, could bring much needed coherence to the way the video downloads are formatted, delivered and played on everything from PCs to TVs . (If only Apple could come on board, I mean ...)

Now there's another rule in the work, Ars Technica says, designed to handle more traditional broadcasting as we know it. It is designed as a replacement for the CableCARD connector and standard cable box - a connector that will extend beyond the broadcast operations of its cable company, finally opening the portal to television around the Internet, primarily through a plug.

Call AllVid, the new standard would be an adapter allowing you to connect virtually any video source (cable, satellite, YouTube) to any playback device (PC, laptop, television these crazy glasses.) When you find something to see, just look for a program among all of the sources connected to your device AllVid, if that is HBO, Netflix, an online television network, or even the catalog of home video has stored on a hard drive in the basement.

And Hollywood? Well, Hollywood is not so sure of this.

The question is - as always - the specter of piracy. The studios and networks are worried that they will have to compete not only with the authoritative sources of their own content (as they do already), but compete with them for the same connection. It's a reasonable complaint: Front watch "Pit Boss" on the wire against the same program with commercials removed courtesy of a pirate Web site, all on the same TV and with the click of a button, I can understand why many viewers simply take Avenue without advertising.

Of course, the Motion Picture Association of America not only worried about his pocket cares about you, too. AllVid "could expose unsuspecting consumers and their children to unwanted content, such as pornography, viruses and spam," the MPAA said the Federal Communications Commission.

That can be a little more, of course. But Hollywood is desperately trying to protect the rickety fence that still surrounds his backyard - and the mother of all fears is, of course, Google TV, the upcoming made-for television service, which represents perhaps the biggest jump and most notable of Web TV that we have seen so far. Google is a supporter of AllVid.

Will it fly? AllVid is only a concept at this point, and without support from Hollywood to be a tough sell. There is no guarantee even a working idea, either. " But the idea, at least sounds good on paper: A tube for the video, where you want to see it. (Christopher Null/Yahoo!)

Apple fiscal Q3 net profit jumps 78 percent

SEATTLE - Apple Inc. blew past expectations with its latest quarterly report on Tuesday, selling almost the same number of tablets as IPAD new Macs sold.

Apple has also provided higher returns than Wall Street expected orientation, something the company rarely does. Investors sent shares in after-hours trading.

Apple said its profit rose 78 percent to $ 3,250,000,000, or $ 3.51 per share, from $ 1,800,000,000, or $ 2.01 per share a year ago.

Revenue for April to June period rose 61 percent last year to $ 15.7 billion, making the company more revenue for the quarter in the world, even surpassing the recent holiday season.

That's better than Wall Street predicted. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast net profit per share $ 3.11 $ 14,700,000,000 in revenue.

Apple sold 8. 4 million iPhones, up 61 percent over last year, although the company stopped shipping over previous generations of iPhones after the model update, the iPhone in April, was announced in early June. Apple sold 1.7 million new iPhone 4 during the last three days of the quarter.

Apple also said it sold about 3.3 million in the first three months iPads gadget on the market.

Both the iPhone IPAD and 4 have been exhausted in most shops and take a few weeks to send the new buyers. During the conference, an analyst asked if Apple intentionally made very few of the gadgets.

"No intention to create a shortage for tinnitus," said Apple chief operating officer, Tim Cook. "We are currently still selling both of these products as quickly as we can do."

Cook said he does not know when Apple have enough of the devices on hand to meet demand.

Some analysts feared that the release of IPAD, you can use to surf the Web, check email, watch movies and read books, among other tasks will be to attract people who might otherwise buy a Macintosh computer.

The fear seems to have been unfounded: Mac unit sales jumped 33 percent to 3.5 billion, helped by the CFO Peter Oppenheimer called record sales to educational institutions in the quarter.

Cook said it was too early to say whether the IPAD can steal revenue from other product categories in the future.

Apple's guidance is consistently lower than Wall Street estimates, so it is remarkable that Apple said it expects 18 billion U.S. dollars in revenue for the current quarter, compared with Street estimates of $ 17 million .

Rajesh Ghai LLC ThinkEquity said the outlook seems surprisingly high to be an attempt to redirect attention of investors walk from "antennagate" - a problem with the design of the iPhone antenna 4 asks Apple to the promise of free cases through September - and again a seemingly insatiable consumer demand for iPhones and iPads.

Shares of Apple rose $ 7.36, or 2.9 percent, to $ 259.25 in electronic trading after the publication of results.

The company said it will wait until the October-December quarter-over quarter to recognize about $ 175 million in revenue to account for the cases without it plans to ship to buyers from the end of the current quarter.

The company did not draw the case will cost.

Apple expects to earn $ 3.44 per share for the current quarter than analysts are predicting $ 3.83.

Although several technology companies like Intel Corp. and IBM Corp., saw revenue hit in the quarter by the effects of a strong U.S. dollar, Apple does not seem to waver.

"I'm sure we're seeing a negative impact, but simply does not matter, because they are selling so many things," said Andy Hargreaves, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities.

Apple, based in Cupertino, Calif., sold 9.4 million iPods in the quarter, up 8 percent from a year ago.

NY man claims Facebook lands in court

BUFFALO, NY - Facebook claims to try to get a man from New York for the majority of the web page thrown out of court, lawyers for the social network said Tuesday.

A complaint by Paul from Wellsville Ceglie said that a seven-year contract he signed with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to develop software entitles you to 84 percent of the company.

"Nobody ever said it is not signed or is a fake contract," said Terrence Connors Ceglie lawyer during a hearing in federal court in Buffalo.

Connors said the two men met when Zuckerberg, then a freshman at Harvard University, she answered an ad posted on Craigslist Ceglie was looking for someone to develop software for a database of street mapping that was created.

Zuckerberg offered to take the project Ceglie for $ 1. 000, Connors said, and then said Ceglie on a personal project, a kind of online yearbook for Harvard students who wanted to expand.

Ceglie Zuckerberg said he gave another $ 1,000 to continue work on "Zuckerberg Face Book," with the condition that Ceglie possess a 50 per cent in the business of software and if expanded. The percentage rose to 84 percent on the basis of a clause that adds a percentage point for each day the project went beyond its January 1, 2004, expiration date.

Zuckerberg company "at the time was a project pipeline," said Connors. "Who knew that would become what it has become today."

Facebook has just celebrated its 500 million users, said Connors.

In the center of the claim Ceglie is a two-page "wage labor" contract with the names of the two men.

Facebook Lisa Simpson lawyer acknowledged Tuesday that Zuckerberg and Ceglie had worked together on the website of the street-mapping, but said the contract submitted by Ceglie was full of "inconsistencies, undefined terms and things that make no sense."

"We have serious doubts about the authenticity of this contract," Simpson said U.S. U.S. District Judge Richard Arcaro. "What the contract states that there is a link on Facebook and no one."

Ceglie complaint was filed in the Supreme Court in Allegany County on 30 June and moved to federal court at the request of Facebook. A temporary restraining order Judge Facebook status from the transfer of assets were frozen by the federal judge last week. Both sides agreed Tuesday to let it expire July 23.

The lawyers also agreed to develop a timetable for submission in the case of 06 August after Ceglie said lawyers can file a new version of its complaint with Facebook's lawyers said he planned to file a motion to dismiss it completely.

Ceglie was the subject of a temporary restraining order issued by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, in December 2009, after Cuomo said a company operated by wood-pellets Ceglie and his wife took more than $ 200,000 from consumers and did not the pellets or refunds.

The case is pending.

A phone list Pellets Allegany was not in service Tuesday.

In 2008, Palo Alto, California, Facebook settled a lawsuit over its origins brought by three of his former Harvard classmates of Zuckerberg, who said he gave the idea for Facebook after being hired to work on a website later ConnectU became.

Amazon: E-books now sold more hardcover books

The press release is fascinating but almost impossible to believe: According to Amazon.com, e-books have become so popular that more books are now selling hardcover, with 180 e-books sold for 100 hardcover books to go out the door, at least in the last month. (Free Books are excluded from that figure.)

It's incredible, so much so that boggles the mind. I consider myself a man of the world, and I can assure you I do not see anywhere near as many people as I am reading reading Kindle hardcover books - though, of course, these figures only apply to buyers of Amazon and not those who might have bought the books from other stores.

Still, assuming Amazon is telling the truth and not manipulate the numbers somehow, this growth rate is phenomenal. In fact, according to the company sales, e-book are on a rampage out of hand. In the last three months, the proportion of e-book sales hardcover was 143 to 100, so the numbers are absolutely shot now. (Amazon says this is because the Kindle now costs only $ 189, which has opened as a truly dominant.)

Total sales of electronic books in the first half of 2010 are three times higher than the same period last year.

The company is also justifiably proud that continues to lead its competitors in sales of electronic books, and noted that of the 1.14 million e-books sold by James Patterson, 867 000 of them were sold for the Kindle platform.

Are we really experiencing a change in the way books are read, the first since the dawn of the paperback? Writing can be done on the wall (or Kindle) - although I realize that Amazon does not mention how e-book sales are compared in relation to the pocket books. However, as the New York Times, the day is probably inevitable when the e-books will overtake print in all its forms: An expert quoted says that within 10 years, less than 25 percent of all books will be sold in versions on paper (Christopher Null/Yahoo!).

Apple posts large room in IPAD, iPhone, Mac sales

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - The strong debut for the Tablet PC IPAD and the new iPhone gadget maker Apple prompted a fourth disc that blew past expectations of Wall Street analysts.

The Cupertino, California-based company said Tuesday its net income rose 78 percent to 3.25 billion in the fiscal third quarter ended June 26.

Revenue rose to a record 15.7 billion dollars from 9.73 billion dollars a year ago, topping the 14.75 billion dollars forecast by analysts.

Earnings per share of $ 3.51 were also much higher than expected $ 3.11 per share.

"It was a phenomenal quarter exceeded our expectations at all, including the most successful product launch in the history of Apple's iPhone in April," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs in a statement.

"IPAD is an excellent start, more people are buying Macs than ever, and we have incredible new products still to come this year," said Jobs.

Apple said it sold 3.27 million during the quarter iPads, raking in another 2.1 billion dollars in revenue and nearly matching the sales of Macintosh computers.

Apple, which only began selling the IPAD in April, said it sold a record 3.47 million Macintosh computers during the quarter.

It sold 8.4 million iPhones in the quarter, up 61 percent over a year, including 1.7 million new iPhone 4s.

The latest version of the smartphone was released in five countries on June 24 and Apple has been plagued by complaints about reception problems due to its unusual design of the antenna.

Apple announced last week that offer free case of rubber and plastic designed to address the issue of satellite customers and Apple executives dismissed speculation that "Antennagate" had hurt sales.

"We're selling all the units we can do today," said Apple chief operating officer, Tim Cook.

Sales of iPod music players fell eight percent in the quarter a year ago to 9.41 million, Apple said.

In a conference call with analysts, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said the company was "very pleased with sales of IPAD and iPhone 4."

"We are working hard to catch up with customer demand for these great products, and hope that customers are moving deeper into the most this quarter," he said.

"We are selling as soon as we can make," Cook said Apple. "We are working day and night to have the supply and demand in balance.

"It'sa good problem," he said.

Oppenheimer said sales of Macintosh 3. 47 million in the quarter surpassed the record set in the December quarter by more than 100,000, surpassing estimate the research group IDC, 22 percent growth for the PC market this quarter.

Oppenheimer said that while iPod sales fell to 9.4 million from 10.2 million a year ago, sales of the iPod Touch more expensive 48 years had grown percent on year, generating revenue growth of four percent.

Oppenheimer also said Apple expects revenues of around 18 billion dollars in the current quarter and earnings per share of $ 3.44.

Apple shares jumped 3.65 percent, to $ 261.08 in after-hours trading after fiscal third-quarter results were released after a 2.57 percent gain during the day.

3D LG aims to increase notebook sales by 30 percent

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's LG Electronics Inc said on Monday it aimed to raise the 3D notebook shipments by 30 percent in 2011, and that makes a big bet on booming sales of 3D products run on television.

LG, the second largest maker of televisions, predicted that worldwide sales of notebook 3D fivefold increase next year to 1.1 million units and jump to 13.8 million units in 2015.

"With the availability of more content in 3D, consumers enjoy a new experience, and we believe will drive growth of the 3D software market," said Harrison Park, LG mobile PC business communications team leader, told reporters .

Interest in 3D has developed rapidly driven in part by the hit film "Avatar", released in late 2009, which alone sensitized to 60 percent from 40 percent among U.S. consumers.

LG on Monday introduced three models of 3D laptops priced between 1.6 million won ($ 1,331) and 1. ₩ 9000000, a premium of approximately 20 percent to 2D conventional products.

With the need for glasses to view 3D content stands as a major obstacle to the uptake of the technology, 3D is more likely to succeed on the screens seen by one viewer as a team and mobile displays, say some experts.

LG said earlier this year has been the goal of selling one million 3D TVs this year.

iPhone 3G & 3GS battery test: iOS 4 V.S. iOS 3

With its slower processor and limited memory, the iPhone 3G is not compatible with all the new features of IOS in April, above all, multitasking. Even with the reduced features, have heard the complaints of poor performance of the IOS 4 on iPhone 3G. We wonder if the battery life was also negatively affected by the operating system update, so he set out to prove it.

Following the instructions of Lifehacker, we have reduced a 3G iPhone that was running IOS IOS 4 to 3.1.3 and published a series of tasks. Then upgrade the iPhone 3G iOS4 and ran the same set of tasks.

The iPhone 3G IOS 5 percent in April lasted longer (10 minutes) than the iPhone 3G three-configured IOS. That's not a big difference, but frankly, I thought the battery life will decrease, not increase, after updating the OS. Curiously, the iPhone 3 IOS took less time to download our rented movie that IOS 4 iPhone 3G, although the application downloads were faster with the new OS. (The full results of examination are given in Table 1.)

To see what IOS four made in terms of battery life on the 3G iPhone we are the same tests again. It turns out that a 3G iPhone disqualification is not easy and our attempts to do so not in the 3G iPhone at the office of Macworld.

Fortunately, our intern Blair found a friend I had not yet updated their iPhone 3G to the latest operating system, and so spent a couple of days testing the iPhone with both operating systems. (The full results of examination are given in Table 2.)

In these tests, there was a further increase in battery life with IOS 4 in updating 3G iPhone 14 percent longer (35 minutes) than with IOS 3. This time, our rented movie downloads took less time than IOS IOS 4 3.

Nokia Siemens Networks purchasing Motorola

HELSINKI - Nokia Siemens Networks will acquire the majority of Motorola's wireless operations for $ 1.2 billion - a major thrust to gain a stronger position worldwide, the company said Monday.

The Finland-based company said the deal is "expected to strengthen significantly the presence of Nokia Siemens Networks worldwide, particularly in the United States and Japan."

Nokia Siemens said it "corresponds to having more than 50 operators, including major U.S. wireless carriers and cable companies, like Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. will also improve its position with China Mobile, Clearwire, KDDI, Sprint and Vodafone.

Nokia Siemens Networks - a joint venture between Nokia Corp. of Finland and Siemens AG of Germany - has seen declining profits in recent years, exacerbated by the global economic slowdown.

The new contract, expected to be completed later this year, could improve the profitability and "significant upside potential," said Nokia Siemens.

The agreement is a step in the process of dividing Schaumburg, Illinois-based Motorola. The company has been planning for years to split the cell phone division, but heavy losses in the unit have been forced to postpone the transfer. It is now scheduled for the first quarter of next year.

The handset division, to be named Motorola Mobility, will have with him the division that manufactures boxes of cable set-top.

That will leave Motorola solutions, the rest, focused on government and corporate clients with products such as police radios and barcode scanners. It is also keeping a portion of its portfolio of wireless network: the iDEN division that makes equipment used in the Nextel network Sprint Nextel Corp. s'. Motorola invented the technology and is the main equipment supplier.

Its function push-to-talk is appreciated by the dispatchers and crews, but has been overshadowed in the mainstream by other broadband technologies that offer data rates.

Nokia Siemens CEO Rajeev Suri described the deal as an acquisition "exciting ... with significant benefits for customers, employees and our shareholders."

"Motorola's current customers will continue to receive world-class support for its installed base and a clear path for the transition to next-generation technologies while employees will join an industry leader with the scale and global reach," said Suri.

The parent company shares in Nokia were trading 1.4 percent in euro6.86 ($ 8.92) in afternoon trading in Helsinki.(Yahoo!)

Marsh says that his role will be key in helping communications.

"Sitting at 60,000 feet is ideal to get a line of sight between two people in different valleys," said marshes. "But it could also carry payloads of surveillance."

QinetiQ also says it will save the military money, performing many tasks currently performed by manned aircraft.

With a weight of 53 kilograms (117 pounds), the plane has a wingspan of 22.5 meters (74 feet) and a wing area of 30 square meters (323 square feet), the top of which is covered with panels solar thin a sheet of paper.

The panels are rigged to the lithium-sulfur batteries that power the aircraft at night.

QinetiQ began to build the latest model Zephyr 18 months ago and hope to start full-scale military trials within a year.

The company said that Zephyr will also find a helping civilian use during distress communications and monitoring of forest fires.

"You can sit over a fire, with heat sensor technology and identify access points so fast," said marshes.

Zephyr shows no signs of running out of energy in the short term, marshes and hopes to stay in the air for seven days, when the plane finally return to Earth.
