I wonder how Comrade Chavez, restless Tribune pohlesche Fidel, packed their effusions in 140 characters …

blog called chavezcandanga. In some Latin American countries candanga translated as “devil”, but Venezuela is a dialect word used to describe people of strong-willed and rebellious. Yesterday, even before the first message on microblogging Comandante signed up 4,000 people. Precisely at midnight, Comrade Chavez has left the first record, which said he was going to Brazil and that is happy to work in Venezuela. After that, the number of fans has grown to 44 thousand.

The popularity of “Twitter” in Venezuela is growing by leaps. Already there are more than 200 thousand users. For the year 2009 their number increased by 1,000%.

Opponents of the president like “Twitter” a special love, as the television and radio do not let them – the whole broadcast given garrulous Chavez. But times change, and that’s advisers suggested the Comandante to draw attention to microblog. The leader has repeatedly called on supporters to open a Twitter-pages, and now he oskoromilsya.

The device is known as Ikaros (short for Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation of the Sun – interplanetary sailing apparatus, moving through the solar radiation). The name of the satellite is also slightly distorted by the name of the hero of the ancient myths of Icarus (in English, he writes Icarus), who, wearing wings made by his father, tried to fly to the sun, but crashed.

Starting Ikaros held from Japanese Tanegashima Space Center (Tanegashima). Initially, the sail apparatus, which is a square with a diagonal length of the membrane 20 meters, will be complex and will be revealed only in orbit. Despite the fact that the membrane thickness does not exceed the thickness of hair, it built photovoltaic cells that will produce electricity by the energy of particles flying from the Sun. Thus, Ikaros is moving through the pressure of solar wind – flying from the star the flow of charged particles – and at the expense of electricity. Correct direction of flight apparatus of specialists will be at the expense of changing the angle of inclination of the sail.

The cost of developing the satellite was about 1.5 billion yen (approximately $16 million). Ikaros does not meet the serious scientific problems, although scientists are going to use it to examine some characteristics of the solar wind. The main purpose of the launch vehicle – to develop technology to work with ships having a solar sail. If Ikaros is successful, the project, in late 2010 JAXA specialists expect to launch another sailing apparatus to Jupiter and the asteroids, said Lenta.Ru.

In addition to working on ships moving through the solar wind, the Japanese intend to actively explore the moon. Since 2020, JAXA plans to build on the earth’s satellite in a lunar base, and run there a few lunar rovers.

According to the report, in the second half of 2009, experts Microsoft revealed 126 million samples of malicious applications. This is 8,9% more than in the first half of last year. Of particular interest attackers began to show spyware and tools, exploiting the discovered vulnerabilities in software products. Almost 50% increase in the number of fake security software.

Through a comparative analysis conducted by hackers attempt to break Microsoft products, the experts concluded that 55,3% of all attacks in the studied sample accounted for exploitation of vulnerabilities in Windows XP. Total in the second half of 2009, Microsoft released 47 security bulletins to address 104 vulnerabilities.

The second half of last year was characterized by a significant increase in the number of unwanted e-mail messages related to advance fee fraud (the so-called “Nigerian letter” or “419 scam”) and gambling. In this case the five countries from which cyber criminals by sending spam, entered the U.S. (27%), South Korea (6,9%), China (6,1%), Brazil (5,8%) and Russia (2,9 %), notes 3Dnews.ru.

In Microsoft note that cybercriminals began to focus on infected websites and hacking attempts of Internet Explorer sixth version. Many were recorded attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in an office productivity suite Microsoft Office. It is curious that in 75,7% cases burglars used a vulnerability (CVE-2006-2492, the gap Microsoft Word, associated with malformed object pointer), which at the end of 2009 more than three years was available security patch.

Recall that the Nokia N8 is a replacement for the popular model Nokia N97, and smartphones have to offer. This is the first terminal of the company, which installed a new operating system Symbian S ^ 3, designed to bring one of the most popular platforms on the appropriate level of the competition.

Many of the characteristics of the device became known yet before the official announcement, and as it turned out they were correct. The phone is set 3.5-inch display with capacitive touch panel, there is an HDMI output and 16 GB of internal flash memory. If necessary, the amount of disk space can be increased using microSD memory cards up to 48 GB.

12-megapixel camera equipped with optical Carl Zeiss, Xenon flash and is able to capture video in the resolution of HD. In addition, Nokia has placed particular emphasis on the used sensors, noting that he has a bigger size than any other phone, and even some cameras. A footage wee desire you can edit directly on the smartphone.

The new OS offers a number of desktops, switching between them is a simple gesture, and support for widgets. For active users of social networking is complete the application Twitter and Facebook, allowing to learn of the events directly from the desktop device.

Of course, the device is provided with the original navigation service Ovi Maps with full functionality and Step by step instructions. Ovi Store offers access to a third-party applications for the smartphone. We add that the phone has the support of Multi-Touch and the regime of multitasking.

As for the cost of new items, it is quite democratic. Excluding the tax price of N8 is € 370 (about $500). At stores apparatus appears in the third quarter of this year.

The strangest thing about the supervision of the reporting period was the fact that at the end of 2009 – On the network Akamai has registered more than 465 million unique IP-addresses from 234 countries – on 4,7% more than in the third quarter, 16% more than a year ago and 54% more than in 2007. Given that the world has between 194 to 196 states, would like to know what criteria specialists, counted as many countries (they are suddenly in favor of the independence of Brittany, France).

Other findings of the analysts are not so sensational, but no less interesting. For example, in the territory of Russia is still most often committed cyber attacks (13% of aggressive traffic). Followed by USA, China and Brazil, which in total holds 20% of criminal traffic.

leader in IP-addresses are the United States and China – 40% of total . But in the Scandinavian countries recorded the highest number of IP-addresses on one resident, reports Kompyulenta.

In 32 countries there are at least thousands of IP-addresses.

South Korea has maintained the title of the country with the highest speed broadband connections ( more than 5 Mbps) and average speed (12 Mbps).

Unfortunately for us and fortunately for the users, the security service was unable to block Nokia “leak” about flagship. This resource Unwiredview published detailed specifications N8 – they are available at this address.

They intend to create a robot that helped to carry weight for older people, responding to a mental request for help. Another area – it is controlled by thought alone consumer electronics such as televisions (channel switching power of thought), mobile phones (you want to send SMS – Hex the caller’s name and message to myself), GPS-navigators, etc.

If your driving is too cold desire twirled the handle of temperature will be solved and it must do so itself.
