Train-Switching Technological Innovation Creates Huge Hacking Threat

Prof Stefan Katzenbeisser made the state at the Madness Interaction The legislature in Germany.The lecturer said that the programs which swap teaches from one line to another could be turn down if security important factors went down the incorrect path.He distressed that teaches would not be risk, but there could be waiting.Train-switching programs have typically been handled by amazing analogue programs.

At the end of the last millennium, more than 35 incompatible programs were used for train marketing and sales communications across The european union.A number of companies met to deal with this and determined to swap to a single electronic typical to make sure they could resource alternative components and make different companies' programs interoperable.
They designed GSM-Railway (GSM-R), a more protected edition of the 2G wifi typical used by cellular phone devices.It allows visitors remote controls and practice individuals to discuss to each other, and for information to be given documenting the car's rate and place. The control hub then uses the information to give the practice authorization to get into the next part of the monitor, on paper making trackside alerts needless.
The engineering is already being used in components of The european union, African-american and Japan. Program Track is moving it out in the UK and goals to deal with all The united kingdom's rail collections by the end of 2014.

Prof Katzenbeisser considers the computer is relatively protected from online hackers under typical conditions. However, the computer research professional from Technische Universitat Darmstadt alerts that security important factors, used to secure the marketing and sales communications, could position dangers.

"The main problem I see is a process of modifying... important factors. This will be a big concern later on, how to controls these important factors securely," he informed Reuters information organization at the convention.The information organization said the important factors are downloadable to physical press such as USB stays before being allocated for set up.

It said the possibility would happen if one of them dropped into the incorrect palms. This could allow online hackers to support a refusal of service assault by frustrating the alerts system with visitors, driving it to turn down."Trains could not collision, but services could be disturbed for some time," the lecturer said.However, a spokesperson for Program Track performed down the possibility.

They Found The "God Particle" ? Did They ?

Scientists had found no conclusive proof of the existence of the particle which, according to prevailing theories of physics, gives everything in the universe its mass. Scientists at the CERN physics research centre said on Tuesday they had found signs of - although not yet conclusively discovered -- the Higgs boson, an elementary particle which is the missing link in the Standard Model of Physics.Meanwhile, a BBC report says the most coveted prize in particle physics may have been glimpsed, quoting researchers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva.

"Both experiments have the signals pointing in essentially the same direction," said Oliver Buchmueller, senior physicist on CMS. "It seems that both Atlas and us have found the signals are at the same mass level. That is obviously very important." Fabiola Gianotti, the scientist in charge of the ATLAS experiment, said ALTAS had narrowed the search to a signal centred at around 126 GeV (Giga electron volts), which would be compatible with the expected strength of a Standard Model Higgs.












The Higgs boson is, in theory, the particle that gives mass to all other fundamental particles. While its discovery would cement current knowledge about particles such as electrons and photons, results of work at CERN could also prove it does not exist, which would force physicists to rethink the Standard Model. "If the first inklings of the Higgs boson are confirmed, then this is just the start of the adventure to unlock the secrets of the fundamental constituents of the Universe," said Stephen Haywood, Head of the Atlas Group at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

The ATLAS results were followed by explanation of the second experiment, CMS. "We are homing in on the Higgs," said Claire Shepherd-Themistocleus, Head of the CMS Group at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. "We have had hints today of what its mass might be and the excitement of scientists is palpable. Whether this is ultimately confirmed or we finally rule out a low mass Higgs boson, we are on the verge of a major change in our understanding of the fundamental nature of matter."

Its Sony And Not Sony Ericsson From Now

Sony has agreed to buy 50% of the firm for 1.1bn euros ($1.5bn; £964m), making the mobile handset business a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony.Ericsson said that the "synergies" between telecoms equipment and mobile phones were decreasing.The transaction also includes a patent deal.

Ericsson said Sony Ericsson will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony and integrated into Sony's broad platform of network-connected consumer electronics products. Sony will get the five sets of patents that are essential to making the phones and a licensing agreement on any other intellectual property.Many observers expected this deal because Sony wanted to integrate its phone division with its mobile games machine and tablet computer units.

The acquisition makes sense for Sony and Ericsson, and it will make the difference for consumers, who want to connect with content wherever they are, whenever they want,'' Stringer said. The deal will also provide Sony with an intellectual property cross-licensing agreement, covering all products and services of as well as ownership of five essential patent families relating to wireless handset technology.

Ericsson said the transaction gives Sony an opportunity to rapidly integrate smartphone into its portfolio of network-connected consumer electronics device, such as tablets, televisions and personal computers.Sony CEO, Sir Howard Stringer, said the acquisition will afford Sony operational efficiencies in engineering, network development and marketing.

Ericsson said the shift in the mobile market, from simple mobile phones to smartphones that include access to internet services and content, means the synergies for the company in having both a telecoms services portfolio and a handset operation have decreased.
The transaction is a logical strategic step that takes into account the nature of this evolution and its impact on the marketplace, the company said in a statement.


Ten years ago when we formed the joint venture, thereby combining Sony's consumer products knowledge with Ericsson's telecommunication technology expertise, it was a perfect match to drive the development of feature phones. Today we take an equally logical step as Sony acquires our stake in Sony Ericsson and makes it a part of its broad range of consumer devices,'' said Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg. The deal will also provide Sony with an intellectual property cross-licensing agreement, covering all products and services of as well as ownership of five essential patent families relating to wireless handset technology.

Eee Pad Slider Is Out Ohya...............

Eee Pad Slider is a tablet that features a slide-out keyboard and the new Google Android 3.1 operating system, as well as a plethora of powerful multimedia features, powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor.A winning design at the International Design Excellence Awards 2011, the ASUS Eee Pad Slider comes in a choice of pearl white or metallic brown. The panel is protected by a layer of scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass. It also comes with a front-facing 1.2MP camera and back-facing 5MP camera.

But before you get too excited about the prospect of a laptop-tablet hybrid that combines the best of both worlds, I have to tell you that you're not getting a Windows laptop in the bargain. The Transformer runs Google Inc.'s Android software, originally designed for smartphones.That means it doesn't run full-blown Windows programs or connect to peripherals such as scanners. This isn't all a bad thing, as Android comes with important advantages, such as a long battery life, programs designed for touch input and a computer that comes to life almost immediately when you open the lid.

The keyboard may sound a bit expensive for $149, but it does more than help with typing. It has a track pad with "mouse buttons," just as you'd find on a laptop. It also contains an extra battery that charges the tablet's battery, two USB ports for connecting peripherals and a slot for SD memory cards, used in most digital cameras.

This isn't the first time we've seen small laptops running Android, the first Android version specifically designed for tablets rather than smartphones. The update makes Android much better at taking advantage of a 10-inch screen.But as tablet software, Android is still far behind Apple's iOS software for the iPad. The biggest problem is the low quality and poor selection of applications from outside companies. Many of my favorite iPad apps, including Netflix and The Wall Street Journal are not available at all. Others, such as The New York Times, are available only in inferior versions, designed for the smartphone screen rather than the tablet.

The Transformer has two slots for the keyboard to lock into, forming a sturdy whole that's easy to use on a lap or tummy, for those really lazy moments on the couch.There's another nice thing about the Transformer keyboard: The keys are designed for the software. There are keys that bring you to the Home screen and Settings. Others control screen brightness, volume and media playback. There are buttons for the Back and Menu functions of Google's Android software. The Transformer is perhaps the best Android tablet out there, especially considering the price, but the software is still a major weakness. Still, the beautifully integrated keyboard should tempt people who don't want to decide between a tablet and a laptop.

Dark Matter Mystery Stays Unsolved

A new study deepened the mystery of dark matter, as finding the dark matter in galaxies is spread out smoothly, according to media reports.The study was published Monday in the American scientific journal Astrophysical.Having analyzed the observations of two dwarf galaxies, Fornax and Sculptor, researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics found that there was no higher concentration in the center of the galaxy than anywhere else.

The finding goes completely against the current cosmological models, which suggest that dark matter should be clustered at the centers of galaxies."After completing this study, we know less about dark matter than we did before. Our measurements contradict a basic prediction about the structure of cold dark matter in dwarf galaxies," said Matt Walker, the study's lead author.Astronomers have one more reason to scratch their heads over the unseen material known as dark matter. Observations of two dwarf galaxies, Fornax and Sculptor, show the dark matter within them is spread out smoothly rather than heaped into a central bulge, contradicting cosmological models.

Researchers know dark matter comprises a far greater percentage of the universe than the ordinary matter making up things like people and stars. Because of this, the distribution of dark matter determines the structure of the cosmos. Galaxies form when they are attracted to and anchored by large clumps of dark matter.The dwarf galaxies Fornax and Sculptor are themselves made of 99 percent dark matter and only 1 percent normal matter. It is impossible to directly see the dark matter but, by observing the rotation of stars around each galactic center, researchers can detect its influence and map out its distribution.According to the current cosmological models, dark matter almost certainly exists, otherwise, galaxy clusters would have no sufficient gravity to hold themselves together.

While simulations suggest that the dark-matter density should increase sharply near the galactic centers, the recent observations found the dark matter spread relatively uniform throughout. Yet if these dwarf galaxies have no “clump” in their center, then what is pinning them in place?Scientists hoped the study on dwarf galaxies could make some breakthrough in dark matter hunting, because calculations suggest dwarf galaxies consisted of 99 percent dark matter.However, the new study has disappointed the researchers, as it has "drawn a big, frustrating blank", Dr. Alastair Wilkins from University of Bristol in Britain remarked in his blog.

Observations of other small galaxies have similarly failed to find a dense central dark matter core, a difficulty that has prompted astronomers to begin expanding their ideas on the mysterious substance.It is possible that dark matter might interact more with ordinary matter than currently thought, allowing the regular matter to stir up the dark matter and spread it out. Alternatively, dark matter might move faster than expected and therefore be less prone to clumping in galactic centers. Either case creates many further mysteries and problems for astronomers to keep mulling over.

Elenin Doomsday Comet Closes Earth

Comet Elenin broke up on August after a huge solar storm blasted it. On September 10 it passed close to the sun which finished it off, so what re-entered the Earth were debris rather than a completely intact comet, astronomers say, adding that what was left of Elenin will not return for 12,000 years.Astronomer Don Yeomans of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said that the comet cannot be found so he believes "it's already dead and gone."

When discovered by astronomer Leonid Elenin in December 2010, the passing of the 3-5 km wide chunk of space ice was predicted to be the astronomical event of the year, which in turn inspired an overkill of apocalyptic theories.Amateur astronomers and conspiracy theorists put forth the idea that Comet Elenin was responsible for a variety of anomalous events seen throughout 2011; from the scattered outbursts of political uprisings to the earthquake in Japan.

While it brought fear to some who believed that Comet Elenin would bring the Earth to extinction, astronomers now say that only a stream of debris of the supposedly "doomsday comet" have reached the atmosphere.Various predictions came about when news about the "doomsday comet" was reported.Some rumors that started circulating that Elenin would wreck havoc to the Earth, causing massive earthquakes and tsunamis, after it aligns with other heavenly bodies. Another said that Elenin was not a comet but in fact a planet called Nibiru, and that it would bring the end of the world. Despite being purported to potentially affect Earth phenomena, natural disasters or tides, Comet Elenin passed by at about 90 times the distance of the moon. Elenin is about one-hundredth the size of the moon.

“People like to play on the fact that there are a lot of ‘maybes’ with these ‘unknown’ phenomena,” he continued. “But the truth is there are few maybes; there is a lot of accuracy with understanding space science, more than there is an understanding of what’s at the bottom of the oceans. If there was any issue of concern, NASA or any professional astronomer would be the first to raise the issue.”Comet Elenin will now continue outward, back into space where it came from, with no further events predicted in the foreseeable future. As Nawar put it, “People should move on to their next doomsday theory, this one’s over.”

MAGNETIC COMPUTERS

"hey jimmy dont keep the magnet near the computer " this is wht mom says rite its all gonna change guys. the concept tat ur gonna damage ur computer system by keeping a powerful magnet near it all gonna blow down in few years u know y hmmm hmm coz now people have started to talk about developing a computer tat is made up of magnets baby is it not awesome

they say these magnetic computers will consume very less energy actually a great amount of energy like a million times less than the current model computer as we know today's computers are silicon based and they do lose a lot of energy as heat as the guys say tat microprocessor which use tiny magnets in the size of nano particles requires no moving electrons as it is in the present models think they gonna use magnets fa memory circuits and switching process

they say that the magnetic computers will not have any movement of electrons unlike the present computers and if they are made into very small size they can interact with each other and this gives way fa a vry energy efficient form of computers than we have know so guys lets hope they come out with a computer system as they said so :) comment me subscribe me plzz plzz :)
