How many times a day you are on Facebook?

According to the latest research says that Facebook users access the average 14 times a day on site, and the duration of each service access takes on average 2 minutes and 22 seconds. In a week-long survey, which was conducted online population aged 18-44 years participated 7.446 respondents from the U.S. who use the social network, and who are also owners of the smartphone mobile platforms like iOS or Android. Smartphone users spend on average about half an hour a day on Facebook, and on their profile they come mostly at night, usually before sleep. While during the day, social network users say they go on Facebook about 13.8 times the average, but it usually does not stay more than 2 minutes.

CERN recreates the first website

A group of scientists at the European Organization of Nuclear Research (CERN), announced the launch of a project for the reconstruction of the first web site in order "to honor the ideals on which it was built" this invention, considered among the greatest of the century last year. CERN scientists objective is to maintain hardware and software that brought about the original first page of the website. The latter was built by British professor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. In 1989, Berners-Lee along with Belgian computer systems engineer Robert Cailliau wrote the first proposal to build the website. A year later it doubles CERN scientists featured in roughly their project. Project Sir Berners-Lee intended approach of communication between CERN scientists who were from all over Europe. They most of the time spent in laboratories and universities that teach and share their experience or scientific work needed to be presented physically at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, or to use traditional methods such as letters or fiksë.Metoda the first mobile time spent, the second dekonspironte privacy of scientific discovery. It also took a more rapid and more certain that CERN scientists make contact with each other. This worked for Tim Berners-Lee. In late 1990 he began to establish his idea to feature in a NeXT computer at CERN premises. This computer is the first address of a website and even today read handwritten "This machine is the server. Mose turn off! "(This machine is a server. IT WILL NOT POWER DOWN!). Today, 23 years later when the internet world has advanced rapidly, CERN engineers warn recreating the same site, for nostalgia and to remember the 20th anniversary of CERN's decision to waive copyright and t 'donated his entire internet world.

Samsung introduces Galaxy S4, can be controlled by viewing

China will have the an alternative for "Microsoft"

China is working with a computer software company, "Canonical", to create an operating system for personal computers customized for Chinese users. The new operating system will be called Kylin and will come into circulation in April.

China has a five year plan to push more people to use open source software open source software instead of paying produced by giant "Microsoft". Operating systems with open source give users access to their operation, so that they are able to modify according to interests.

The operating system will be used by the desktop personal computers or laptops. Besides the fact that this type of system will use the Chinese letters, Kylin will help more Chinese people interact with computers and not only as consumers but also as a modifier system.

A work program aims to create additional operating systems necessary for the operation of servers and websites, online shops etc..

The vast majority of computers in the world today use operating systems and programs produced in the U.S.. Is the dominant operating system "Windows" produced by "Microsoft". An option called "Linux" is created through the efforts of tens of thousands of programmers around the world who have worked for free. This is based program that is used by the Chinese government to create an alternative operating system.

The biggest attack in history slows Internet

Battered basic infrastructure services important consequences worldwide.
Internet worldwide has slowed due to a cyber attack in which security experts say is the largest ever conducted. A quarrel between a group that fights spam emails and a posting company, which sparked retaliatory attacks that are slow functioning of basic infrastructure.

Some popular services as "Netflix" are already affected and experts fear that the slowdown may include online banking and email systems.

Five national police forces are investigating the attacks. "Spamhaus", a non-governmental organization with offices in London and Geneva, intended to help service providers to filter email spam emails. To achieve this goal, the group lists the addresses reported as distribution of harmful emails and a list of servers from these emails originate. Finally, "Spamhous" blocked the company's servers "Cyberbunker", a group posting in the Netherlands, who declares that he accepts hostojë every page except the pages with content pedophile and terrorist.

Sven Olaf Kamphuis, who claims to be the spokesman of "Cyverbunger", said that "Spamhaus" is abusing his position and should not be allowed to decide "what is published on the internet and what not."

"Spamhaus" has raised the conclusion that "Cyberbunger" in cooperation with "criminal gangs" of Eastern Europe and Russia, is behind the attack. "Cyberbunker" did not respond to requests for comment.

Steve Linford, executive director of "Spamhaus", said the size of the attack are unprecedented. "We were under cyber attack for more than a week," he said. "However we proceed to function and they have not been able to block us. Our engineers are doing a tremendous job to keep us in place. "

Linford told the BBC that the attack is being investigated by five national police forces around the world. The attackers used a tactic known as Denial of Service DDoS, which bombs target with false claims, which slows or blocks the attack site.

In this case, the Internet Address System to Spamhous was attacked. This is the system that performs the conversion of numerical data used to address the world of internet websites names.

Reported that the strength of this latest attack will suffice to block an Internet service throughout government.

"If the website targets the government of England, it would break immediately," commented an expert on the BBC. "These attacks mark the peak at 300 gb / s)."

Usually the aim is to hit a bank, used up to 50 GB / s.

The attack damaged in web services worldwide, says prof. Alan Woodward, a cyber security expert at the University Surrei in the UK.

"You have to imagine the Internet as a highway. They are trying to put more traffic on a given node and this causes problems across the highway, "he said.

Group "Spamhaus" said he was able to withstand the attack because of its infrastructure is distributed in several countries. The group is supported by some of the largest companies in the world of internet, which like its services to identify the source of undesirable materials, such as spam emails, which are used by criminals to spread false information, collecting data personal email addresses or to distribute viruses or speculative advertisement.

Linford said that many companies, such as "Google", have put their resources available to help "absorb all this traffic".

The reason for the survival of "Spamhaus" relates to the fact that there are about 80 servers around the world.

Technological innovation for 2013: Mobile Phones and computers of rubber!

Wearing rubber exterior is only one element, while the batteries are expected to be of a new type of fabric, which accumulates energy in the rechargeable. As for the presence of keystrokes, or by touching sensors manageable, these interesting technological apparatus of rubber will perform the same functions, simultaneously having another bonus to use: simply being very rugged! So, be prepared to stop shopping bills salty as mobile has fallen out of pocket and the screen is broken, or someone else's negligence has taken your camera with doing aerobics. Rubber material will be your salvation for purchases of new technological products that you really weigh the personal budget.
