Drones with brains could be airborne this year





Drone technology has developed in recent years, but they are still pretty ridiculous - that the operator in order to avoid collisions. However, whether the change monitoring research in artificial neural networks.

We long to discover computers that objects and react in real time, but the technology and performance requirements that have been rendered unfit for mounting on a slight rumble. So far, the search always felt drones, and barriers focused on short-range radar technology to avoid, but it is often not enough warning would not give for a drone moving quickly on a power line to avoid.

So instead Technologies, a US company called Bio Inspired takes a different approach - mimics a biological brain. Humans and animals are usually rubbish traditional computing tasks such as adding numbers but big in processing the entry of several sense and respond.

Intelligent Sky

Bio inspired "brain" built by memristors - resistors that have short memories. You will feel the nerve cells connected in a biological brain, causing the chip size system to recognize the situation and "remember" objects such as clouds, birds, buildings, radio towers and other drones - d appreciate as well as a camera, such as distance they are.

"Objects such as other aircraft are cataloged in a vague sense, meaning" I see a plane, "or in a specific sense:" I see another drone "," Gafron Terry, CEO of Bio Inspired told New Scientist . "Not only the system to fly autonomously, but it could be the difference between a deer and an air wolf." This information can then be used by the UAV to a new path of the object.

The applications of the technology are the fleet Amazon delivery of drones, precision agriculture, maintenance of industrial property and of course the military. Gafron said he could even fly through the city in search of empty parking and transmission of this information to you in real time.

Organic is inspired on a prototype of a drone technology, which is the Company believes that working with ready for its first flight later this year.

Apple's latest buy could bring DSLR-level photos to iPhone 7


Apple WWDC 2014 developer conference is scheduled for June 2, and we are already waiting feverish.

Apple will announce? iOS 8? A successor OS X Mavericks? IPhone, iPad, Macbook some? For the sake of our wallets, we hope not all of the above.

As in previous years, the company has designed a new logo for the occasion natty. But what can we learn from these colored squares and tell their optical illusions? We took a look back at previous charges with the benefit of glorious step back and see what's going on.

The original iPhone was announced at MacWorld in January 2007 and speculation about the iPhone 3G was endemic Invite 2008 and a reference point (the Golden Gate Bridge, of course) divided into two indicated two important announcements before the WWDC - and so it was: iPhone 3G Hello, hello App Store full third party applications. Were also introduced iOS 2.0 (!), Push notifications, and MobileMe (RIP).

A dull look for WWDC 2009 with the iPhone and its applications that require a bit dreary center. All we can really say about the show from the teaser logo was that the iPhone was going to be the focus.

We stayed for iOS 4.0 in the hope that a new iPhone and a great update to Snow Leopard "Windows 7 give a run for their money" before Steve Jobs WWDC stage to the iPhone 3GS, a bet disappointing day for Snow Leopard and a show new MacBook Pro line-up.

Our expert telephone Gareth Beavis was also impressed with the iPhone 3GS and said it was "not to lay the smackdown on the Palm Pre." Oh Gareth.

Applications were firmly on the menu for the WWDC 2010, but not exactly on the iPhone 4, Steve Jobs to show the logo at the end of the announcement at the conference. Described as the world's thinnest smartphone with a depth of 9.3 mm ridiculous today, a mobile game gyroscope change game and a plurality of antenna problems, they began.

Now here's a picture of the merger between Mac OS and iOS - all these applications are sitting in the MacBook-esque gray sea? It was the logical conclusion. Unfortunately, it was the wrong conclusion.

The iPad was launched last year to life, and we expect iOS 5 CME announced 2011 Hand in hand with the iPhone 5. What we have iOS 5, iMessage, Magazines, over-the- air updates, OS X Lion was and the term "post-PC". In a shock move for Apple iPhone 4S was not revealed until October 2011.

Here's where things started to become colorful. The square-ish app that showed the Apple logo message of iOS 6 to 6. This will be examined and logos App we expected iOS sold in record time point (within two hours) and actually see the launch of new operating system. The logo is not just the tilt of us to see the debut of the Apple Maps app unfortunate, however.

Well hello, new Slimline font for iOS 7. We were only able to recognize that, with the benefit of hindsight, but Apple has not been realized because the "benchmark" Load 2008 rumors that a new look for iOS was on board infiltrates weeks before the WWDC 2013, and we were not disappointed by the own dishes, iOS 7. Mac OS X also received ReJig in the form of Mavericks, and Apple also launched iTunes radio.

What we have to guess WWDC 2014 last year logo? Well, not much more than the obvious. iOS 8 was expected, and OS X 10/10 certainly was not a surprise.

The color iPhone 5C-ish and police iOS 7 suggested that the new mobile operating system would not be much difference in terms of design - and it was not. Apple with the introduction of HomeKit, even if it is to suggest a step forward nothing radical he would come.

This brings us to 2015, a lot has changed since last June; We now have an Apple-clock, a larger iPhone and new services such as Apple wages. If anything, the new logo is reminiscent of a post-Jobs Apple TV, which is now firmly in the hands of Tim Cook.

Or at least the text. The picture is only a large Venn diagram of shapes and colors, as this Apple could absolutely nothing and anything to say.

The clock is definitely a major focus of WWDC 2015 as proposed by the circles, but it could be a hint of future major changes in iOS new? In addition, after the chef commented on television, "stuck in the back of the 70", now would be a good time for Apple to announce its solution for this problem. The place is very well located and TV-like, do not you think?

If there are missed straws clutch need, please let us know.

We will report the great keynote WWDC 2015 Live June 8, such that for all official off news as it breaks.

Intel tempts Internet of Things developers with simple firmware engine



Be left in an effort not behind in the rapid Internet of Things (IoT) sector, Intel introduced a new universal firmware engine that allows developers with faster hardware atom or cottage cheese chips ground.

The new firmware engine, which was presented at IDF 2015 in Shenzhen, China, has the form of a graphical user interface for building custom firmware images for Intel-based devices without a handle that allows developers to the source code.

Developers start with a picture of the approved Intel firmware, where they then add or remove features to meet their needs. There is even the ability to add third-party components and integrate payloads custom startup. The images generated at the end of the process on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification and can be started on compatible operating systems, like Windows, Android and Linux.

For all developers in the desire for something more, they can improve the firmware utility with the SDK engine firmware. The firmware is based reference boards based on Atom chips and specialists Quark chips, which are aligned in the direction of IoT devices. The first boards are supported are Intel Gen 2 and Galileo MinnowBoard according to The Register.

Platform Intel IoT

Intel introduced an IoT platform in December 2014, the software and combined hardware and designed so that partners complete IoT systems take security and account management capabilities on the market, the company already.

In addition, there is a solution McAfee by Intel called enhanced security for Internet gateways things based on the platform, and it is hoped that this will alleviate the fear of security IoT becomes a problem.

Microsoft's stripped down Nano Server is on the way



Microsoft has fast NanoServer born in-the-cloud applications preinstalled containers are described and new container option an important part of Windows Server 2016.

The specially designed operating system was developed to meet the demand evolving spectrum of modern applications and cloud computing technologies, speed, agility and lower resource consumption than traditional servers.

In essence, the nano-Server is a lightweight version of Windows Server. Microsoft GUI support, 32 bit, MSI and a number of other components Server Core so that they will launch faster new, free more resources and increased safety. Moreover, it will take less software updates and patches.

Blog TechNet noted that compared to a previous Windows server, it launched a size 93% smaller VHD, 92% less critical bulletins and 80% faster again.

The performance of NanoServer also focuses on two different scenarios. The first was born in-the-cloud applications that support through a variety of programming languages ​​and runtime environments in containers or virtual machines on physical servers. The second scenario, now Microsoft's cloud platform infrastructure, support for cluster computing with Hyper-V and cluster storage with scale-out file server contains.

New containers

In addition to this announcement, Microsoft detailed a new container option for Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V called container, they provide an extra margin of safety by running around the container and not the entire operating system and, as such, another insulating layer. This adds to the technology of containerization popular Docker that Microsoft added last year to the next version of Windows Server.

Nano-server is not part of the next Windows Server 2016 due next month update and will instead be added at a later time.

Intel Security swats Beebone botnet with FBI's help



Intel has buddied with security for the FBI and Europol to reverse a notorious botnet with a sting in the tail.


The polymorphic Beebone botnet that infected at its peak in 2014, more than 100,000 machines in 195 countries developed below with the next Intel tools to the FBI, cybercrime European Centre of Europol, the Dutch authorities and parts of the private outlets.


"Intel Security is more than five million unique identification AAEH samples with more than 100 000 machines 200 countries. This type of withdrawal would not have happened without the cooperation between police organizations and private companies," said Raj Samani, EMEA CTO of Intel's security.


Intel Safety first threat identified way back in March 2014 and it was only in September 2014 when it was acquired enough he approached the international community to fight against cyber-crime for help.


Beebone was dangerous because it allows other malware that has been downloaded by machines, which could include anything from the basic password data theft and rootkits, anti-virus software fake and ransomware are targeted.


100 domains crashed


He had a worm's ability to add new machines to infiltrate through the dissemination through networks, removable media and infected within ZIP and RAR archives. The prevention campaign by Intel and its partners conducted seen the complete eradication of the threat and the withdrawal of about 100 domains in the process.


Microsoft is working with the FBI in a similar way in June 2014 when he refused their botnet Battle Game Over expertise Zeus Trojan, which was the target of passwords to get rid of and trying to steal information online banking.

Yes, your iPhone may really work with Android Wear one day



The rumors on iOS and Android compatibility wear are not uncommon, but a new report says that the day might soon come when all iPhone Notifications on managed Google smart watches received.

In fact, Google is "nearing completion of the final technical details" needed to bridge the gap between iOS and Android-Wear, reports The Verge.

The side spoke with "a source close to the development team" that showed many details on pairing.

Apparently, the current development version of Android Wear works with a companion app on your iPhone to receive notifications of FaceTime, messages, calls and more.

It can also display information from Google Maps now, just like on Android and can build advanced features for iOS Google applications like Gmail are manufactured.

The obvious obstacle is whether Apple would allow Google to launch this companion app on iOS, given the imminent danger of the Apple Watch. Neither Google nor Apple seems to want the possibility of Android and iOS Wear only play nice talk together, so now all we can do is speculate.
