In contrast to the well-known and the now de facto standard for Wikipedia, whose articles are written by visitors to Cpedia such articles will be provided automated, special robot. Moreover, they will emerge on the fly, in real time on user's search query. In other words, unlike conventional search engines, SERPs will be formed not in the form of a list of links, tips, and in the form of ready facts - in the form of articles.

If some community and government organizations last week attacked on torrents and their users, closing around the world dozens of servers, while others, conversely, are using the new technology that looks much more constructive way forward. Thus, American filmmakers Josh Bernhard and Bracey Smith started shooting fiction series "Pioneer-1. Feature film, the authors define as a mix of political drama, "cop" movie and science fiction. Anecdotal story unfolds around the landing in the U.S. Soviet spacecraft, which was launched from Earth in the time of the Cold War. This series will be distributed, especially among users of the BitTorrent network, and created - based on technology VODO (from the English. Voluntary donation), that is, to finance shooting themselves will be Internet users by voluntary donations. As the portal TorrentFreak, currently directing the group has already completed the selection of actors and began shooting. The first series of Pioneer-1 "will b...

This information is not yet officially by either party is not confirmed and is based on hearsay, that walk on private investment funds. Yet these are based on rumors of unfavorable financial performance of one of the leading manufacturers of smartphones based WebOS. It is difficult to say whether Lenovo intends to seriously address the promotion Platform WebOS. But we know that the Chinese computer giant has long cherished "smartphones" ambitions. Therefore, industry experts are inclined to believe that Lenovo just wants to use the experience and market share of Palm, to increase its presence in the smartphone market. Today, all that is in the asset Lenovo, - is preparing to release Android-smartphone LePhone. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1 GHz, 3.7 "display with a...

Image via Wikipedia Company NitroSecurity today announced that PDF files can be used to spread malware. Infection can occur when using the Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader. This malicious code is the Executive should be recorded in the PDF-file. User has to run this code (the command launch) - well, and hackers to take advantage of the methods of social engineering. Of course, the computer will ask the user whether he wants to run. However, the risk of infecting your computer is still great - in fact, many users probably do not understand the situation, may press the "Open". If an infection occurs, will be fatally damaged by all on the hard disk PDF-files. Later, when you try to open them, you will be automatically redirected to a site specified by hackers. At the same time protect against the new scourge impossible to disable JavaScript, or using any other program to read PDF. The reason - the fact that the vulnerability is not in the software, but in the specification ...

Cover via Amazon The war between the Chinese authorities and the corporation Google, the rapidly flared up earlier this year, continues. In the Celestial restrictions on mentioning the U.S. internet giant in the press. More specifically, the national Chinese media special order limited in what they write about Google. In particular, the first order "recommended" not to mention the conflict in the business, but in a political context. But behind him followed by a second indication in which the government "strongly requested" the press in general did not report on Google. One of the first affected by the actions of the Government of China was a journalist edition New Yorker Ken Auletta. He is known as the author of Googled: The End of the World as We Know It. In the U.S. the book was published last fall, and recently the right to translation and publication of this work was sold to state-owned China Citic Press. But now it is clear that in China, the book probably wil...

Image via CrunchBase Intel has until the end of II quarter of this year, will begin shipping the experimental processor with 48 cores. However, while we are talking about a limited number of chips that are on the Rights of the pilot will be directed to various academic institutions. But the issue of commercial versions of 48-core processor is not expected - CPU Technology, in this case too strongly ahead of related technologies for commercial release to "tighten" the level of other PC components. All this at a recent New York event, said lead engineer Intel Shawn Coelho. And Intel Labs engineer Christopher Anderson elaborated: new chips operate at a frequency of modern processors Atom (about 1,6-1,8 GHz). In this case all 48 cores total spend no more than 25 watts in standby mode and 125 watts at peak performance. Moreover, each core can operate at its voltage and its frequency, or be completely turned off the no-load. During the public demonstration of Intel engineers loaded...

Image via CrunchBase April 8 scientists and engineers from Hewlett-Packard have demonstrated their achievements in the development of a new type of non-volatile memory - so-called memristor. According to them, memristor-based devices may soon replace conventional flash memory. Their advantages are obvious: Memristors much simpler than common today semiconductor transistors. In addition, they are capable of storing information in the absence of electric current and, moreover, can be used both for processing and storage. This universality can seriously reduce the price of electronic components. The theoretical basis for the creation of the memristor was developed in 1971 by Professor Leon Chua, University of California. But it took 37 years before in 2008 in a California laboratory Hewlett-Packard created the first working example of the memristor. Develop it was a group of researchers led by Stan Williams. Report on the experiment was published in the journal Nature. In this paper, in p...

A group of scientists and physicians from Wake Forest University in North Carolina found an unusual use of traditional ink jet printer. The modified inkjet printer to use for application to the wound solution, consisting of skin cells and stem cells. As shown by experiments on mice, the wound is treated with such an unusual way to completely heal within 2-3 weeks, while the control group healing lasted 5 weeks and leave visible scars. "Ink" for the printer are made from skin cells the mouse itself, reproducing in the nutrient solution and then mixed with stem cells. Now scientists plan to test the new technology of healing wounds on pigs and then to obtain permission for clinical trials. If tests are successful, then a new application of inkjet printing can make a real revolution in the treatment of burns. After all, statistics claims that now the victims of extensive burns, in most cases die within 2 weeks of infection, if they do not produce skin grafts.

Image via CrunchBase April 8, Apple announced a new version of mobile operating system iPhone OS 4. The developer states that iPhone OS 4 has about a hundred innovations. Consider the most significant of them. So, finally, there was a long-awaited multi-tasking, however, will get its only owners iPad, iPod Touch and the third generation iPhone 3GS. Older devays, according to Steve Jobs, hardware can not provide the applications in the background. Also in the new firmware was introduced several new services: a game center, iAd , iBooks. Game Center is a social network of all the fans to play multiplayer games. Next on the list iAd - advertising services, through which developers will be able to provide free one to benefit from the display of advertisements. I would like to mention the ability to create folders in the menu, set as background wallpaper own and extra features for formatting text. Available for download the new OS will be the summer, when will the next generation iPhone.

There is ample evidence that good driving simulators improve the skills of driving a real person and a great experience virtual racing is able to save lives in emergency situations. In the computer game, few choose the type of cabin. Usually we choose a third-person (just behind and above), so it looks more colorful. But is it possible in real life to manage a real car with this angle? It turns out you can. You are literally transported into a computer game, without leaving your car. The guys from Rooster Teeth of the project decided to conduct real-world experience. They consolidated the HD-camera on the back of a pickup. The driver had been pasted over windshield and side windows, and he drove his vehicle solely on the picture with the camera. The experimental badly handled the task. Perhaps, instead of booster should be given to them by a joystick on the Xbox 360.
