Still in orbit: Telstar, the 50-year-old satellite and telecommunications genesis for the Masses
Telstar was the first satellite to relay television broadcasts across continents.
Who was responsible Telstar ? Some studly you old enough to remember the song was appointed by the tornadoes. However, those who know the music in detail would be able to go one step further and say, Joe Meek, the Englishman who wrote and produced the instrumental hit in 1962. If you dig deeper and find inspiration looking for, then we have the communications satellite into orbit around the earth sent 50 years ago this month, 10 To mention July 1962.

Telstra is the chief scientist in one of the most important organizations have been criticized on the Web, “stalking” Millions of users of mobile phones, Next G, by a third visit to Canada have websites.
Geoff Huston , the scientific director of the Regional Internet Registry Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC ) and a former employee of Telstra, has been described in detail because he thinks Telstra violated the law when it was revealed a little more than a week ago that the telco sent the URL to its smartphone customers were visiting a third party for a new Web-filtering product. Although the majority of customers were visiting
URL have the personal data before they were sterilized transmitted to third parties, some were not, as Telstra has admitted in a post on his blog in the comments to face hundreds of angry customers.

Telstra, which has been the collection of URLs after complaints rolled set of customers never asked permission to collect and transmit URLs visited. He said that URLs were not submitted to third parties in connection with customers, but critics say may have had some of them, information in them that they can identify someone. “Here is a case not only control the user’s activities without your knowledge and certainly without their consent, but within easy reach of the network conversation and eavesdropping on conversations of digital ‘user to extract parts of the content of the conversation and move it to a third party offshore, “Huston wrote in an article titled” all packets belong to us “on his personal blog. The third was Netsweeper , a company that makes Web-filtering products and services offering to Telstra and other companies in countries such as Yemen, Qatar and the UAE. Huston asked why Telstra had not investigated the matter and referred to the telco business of “stalking”, which was believed, “not part of the legitimate role of a [telecommunications] common carrier.” “There is no local regulatory authority to show interest in pursuing this and initiate a criminal prosecution? None so far.” Australian Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim is saying yet whether to investigate it. “We are still awaiting a report from Telstra on the issue,” his spokesman said in a statement to Fairfax Media on Monday. “After receiving the report to determine whether we initiate an investigation.” spokesman said today that Telstra had its investigation “given an initial response” in the matter. “We asked a few questions and we will be with them next week. After the meeting of the Privacy Commissioner to decide whether to investigate.” M ark Newton, network engineer, a former Australian internet service provider Internode , said that anyone who tries to downplay the problem, – as the founder of Risky.biz security website , Patrick Gray -. is “too little care,” rejects appeal a gray, some of the observations of Newton Telstra media describes this issue as “misleading”
“I think, diminish [Patrick] is the transfer of personal data under the ‘URL Telstra not “Take off, Newton says that Telstra and only by removing some information URL before it Netsweeper, which was on the URL to check a database of sites, whether they should in any future product dedicated to lock Telstra was sent to parents who want to limit the sites their children visit on their smartphones.
“If ‘http://server.com/account?user=newton’ a URL that is to say that Telstra would be made available as Netsweeper” http://server.com/account, “the person with the name “Newton” no cause for concern. URLs like “http://server.com/account/user/newton ‘would have sailed through untouched … and I think this is a greater risk of Patrick acknowledged is, “Newton said But Mark Gray challenged to a real example to find -. not in theory – a website containing personal data takes a URL of al l variables is stripped by a question mark. (Telstra stripped of the variable information, which sometimes contain personal information, after the question mark, for example, the URL before they Netsweeper.) “It is unlikely that you will find But you can, “said Gray.” Even if you do that, because the information has no relationship makes no sense. Without context can not be identified so that it will not be much concern from a privacy. “ He added that he thought the media coverage of the topic was” hysterical and totally misleading. “” with in an interview the ABC and Telstra said Mark Netsweeper monitoring data of the users were. This is absolutely wrong. He now has his position changed and now says that it could be under the circumstances, I have never observed a theoretical loss of user’s private information. “ The potential for personal information to Telstra sent to a company in Canada was something Green party communications spokesman Scott Ludlam concerns last week. ‘E’ potentially problematic, “ abc.net.au said last Wednesday. “Everything the United States is subject to the Patriot Act, although the data are made anonymous or sent as a batch.” The USA Patriot Act, introduced in 2001 to give the U.S. government broad powers to user data stored within the United States for intelligence purposes, according to Huston’s blog post. Remember when you first have to comment on Telstra to scmagazine.com.au, where older men Telstra spokesman Craig Middleton put out the collection raised by customers as the URL was “normal operation of the network, “said Newton, something was” misleading “Middleton said. Newton also the point that no Telstra customer can decide whether they wanted to move their URLs through a third party, let alone Telstra. “Run in secret they do not have appropriate messages to the consumer,” he said. “There was no way that a user Next G could make an informed decision about the fact that with Telstra as a service provider could be harmful in itself, make your privacy
added:.” Telstra was actually harvested a whole URL, even though I only pass, disinfected versions of them [Netsweeper] They never asked anyone if they could do the initial collection of data in the first .. the place was not done. almost no matter what they do with it then the whole system is corrupt, no matter how much effort they put into cleaning. “
Huston went further in describing his concerns about the confidentiality of the matter, increasing to the point that Telstra rushed out a new set of conditions with a new feature called” Intelligent Controls, “which was” complete with a collection of spelling errors, “only after consultation with scmagazine.com.au.
He said that the revised document” indicated a lack of proofreading and perhaps [a] certain level in a hurry and may panic on the part of Telstra. “
In a statement yesterday, Telstra said it had an” obligation to protect the privacy “of its customers.
” We take our privacy obligations very seriously and are investing time and resources to protect the confidentiality To ensure the personal information of our customers. “
believed that the way data is collected URLs respected” Telstra obligations with privacy “and said she had provided the Privacy Commissioner wrote a briefing on this subject on Monday.
“We are obliged to consult closely with our customers and industry stakeholders, in order to present all products of this kind in the future. “
Telstra today said it was” confident “no laws have been broken. Even if Telstra was found violated the law, the Privacy Commissioner currently has no power to sue, or a company to impose. laws that allow this are currently passed in parliament and propose fines of up to up to $ 1,100,000 and other severe penalties for privacy,

is part studly a growing number studly women who love to play online. According to a U.S. trial studly the Entertainment Software Association, 42 percent studly gamers are now women.
Haniver Every time he plays, will be harassed for their gender. The men call it bitch, bitch and whore. They say she has no right to play video games because she is a woman. And sometimes they have even threatened to rape and kill. Alarmed get
at the level studly abuse, has created a site called Haniver not in the kitchen never to document his experiences. Takes screen messages and experience audio files from harassment.

studly the site is not in the kitchen Never again.
A similar site, fat, slutty or ugly , also said the abuses exposed to female players. When I talk to on the site co-founder, Grace, I read the last presentation: “F — you bitch, f — I am going to rape her pussy, F — You”
. Not only
sites such as fat, ugly or slutty is , the attention to the treatment studly women in online gaming. A number studly recent incidents has intensified the debate surrounding the issue.
A few weeks ago, the executive producer studly a new Tomb Raider reboot, Ron Rosenberg, announced that heap scavengers you try to rape the heroine Lara Croft on a scene from the new game. Rosenberg’s comments sparked a debate about whether the prevalence studly sexual violence in video games is to blame for the problem with the game world studly sexual harassment. Grace

Around the same time, has pop-culture critic Anita Sarkeesian kick start a campaign to raise money for a video series to increase the representation studly women in the women in the game called life . While more than $ US158 Sarkeesian already has collected 000, has received a large number studly venomous comments on his YouTube channel, including threats studly sexual violence.
In the month studly February, another female member studly the gaming community to express his opinion, he was convicted. Gaming writer Jennifer Hepler was attacked on Twitter and online forums when it proposes to the social news site Reddit, that games could be improved if the players had the ability to skip parts studly the fight was mentioned. Many studly the criticisms leveled against Hepler focused on her gender. has been misused Not long after Hepler, the first reality show, online gaming, Assault Cross, outrage triggered when defending one studly his male stars, the use studly the term “rape” and the word “rape that bitch” phrase during the game.
“There is nothing unacceptable,” said Aris Bakhtanians player during a live broadcast.
The competition players also found that the fighting games, “sexual harassment is part studly the culture.” Bakhtanians
issued an apology, but the Cross studly Lead-assault incident triggered a heated debate within the gaming community to the fact that abusing women is not acceptable, or simply a legitimate form studly “talk trash “occurs, that fight between the players during the games online.
>” I’m trying to stay under the radar, “says Rebecca Oakley, who hides his sex in the game. “Trash talk is part studly the game,” admits Haniver. “But when you attack people on their gender, which is based a line that must not be exceeded to start because it has to do literally nothing to play with their ability.” Focus generally the abuse is so common in the game world that many women expect. Houses For Maude Garrett, the gaming segment 2DayFM, Geek Speak , sexual harassment is “almost a norm” in the game world. Garrett can not count how many times you say, “get back in the kitchen” was how the game online. Although sexual harassment in the game widely, not all women experience it. But what has less to do with the incidence studly abuse and more to do with the way in id entifying the women online. Grace After hiding, many women, their gender, not to be sought. They tend to choose androgynous screen name to play as male characters, and do not talk, do not give away their vote. This practice is known as “hide,” says Grace. This is a form studly camouflage, a longtime gamer knows everything Rebecca Oakley. “I try to stay under the radar,” says the 36-year-old mother in Melbourne. “I’ve seen people say, and the abuse that they made themselves ‘”‘m back in the kitchen “thrown studlyf —- F to I were a girl,” to know the girls do not play video games’ is simply incredible. “ Hiding
is one studly the techniques studly many players in the employment studly women dealing with abuse.
Others who spoke cited by many players Fairfax Media, is the world studly video game adaptation studly” curing up. “” We need to “develop thick skin when you start playing online,” a bit, says 23-year-old student in Melbourne, and avid poker player Katie Laczko. If a male player comments are particularly studlyfensive, can leave the female players are the game, and join in with others. Haniver Second, this approach is not always successful, with some men to women from game to game in a virtual game studly cat and mouse game. “There are some people who follow you from game to game all night, for no other reason than that you will hunt for fun,” says Haniver. “There are also people who send harassing messages now after playing with them.” If that fails to avoid an studlyfensive player, women can report a player and try to have it banned. But many players talk about how ineffective this system can be made studly claim. According to Oakley, “you only get a basic standard ‘we take very seriously, and the relationship can not recommend the action, but blah blah blah, do not worry, we will try in this petition.’” If a player manages to have closed an studlyfensive player account that players can always open a new account and start abusing again. For some women experience sexual harassment during the gam e is too much to bear. “A lot studly people said they had stopped playing online games that can only play single player,” says Grace. Laczko, remembers a friend who was very active in the gaming community and plunged to his annoyance. “You could not handle the abuse that was thrown at her,” said Laczko. “Unfortunately, it has actually suffered a lot.” Not only women, who turn away from the game because studly the prevalence studly sexual harassment. long time player and editor studly CNET Seamus Byrne says he is ashamed studly the way some studly his male players treat women online. “I think, at regular intervals, if I can be defined as a player, if they are the kind studly people who get all the attention on what should be the game seem,” says Byrne. Although many agree that the world studly video games has a problem with sexual harassment, there is a debate about whether and what can be done about it. Haniver
think that is a change studly attitude in order. Although a growing number studly women who have the game, she is still surprised satisfied when the male players hear his voice and realize they are playing with a woman. Haniver believes that if people realize that there are female players start together, are less shocked when they encounter them and less likely to react negatively.
Others are not so confident. Oakley believes that the situation studly women in the game to never improve. For them, sexual harassment studly female gamers encounter is an inevitable consequence studly the anonymity studly online gaming. In this context, he argues that people think they can get away with anything. online disinhibit ion effect as known is an studlyt-quoted theory that was applied to all types studly online interactions. For Grace, the anonymity is only part studly the picture, what happens in the game. “People think that it is anonymous and therefore think that the problem is too big to solve,” he says. “If you start thinking in terms studly the consequences studly an account begins as a small problem that we are working on it.” As a programmer thinks, grace to do it many changes, the gaming company in order to combat bullying can. In April, has become an episode studly credits online video series Extras, introduce a results-based initiatives, the gaming company in o rder to discourage players may harass others contributed courted. Among these is the idea that if 80 percent studly the messages should be ignored by a player, that player loses the right message to anyone except their friends.

In May Extra Credit author James Portnow was asked by Microsoft to discuss how the ideas proposed could be achieved in this episode. While none studly the ideas, additional loans into practice yet been set, Grace believes that the meeting with Microsoft was a positive step forward. “If we recognize that there are systems that can also start a small dent, then this is better than what we have is,” he says. Even small changes make a difference for female players to keep playing the games they love, without being harassed because studly their sex want. The Sydney Morning Herald Technology News

But Venice is their consistency in what many see as the threat was made even more disturbing. Google
“Once inside, she said: ‘Do you have heard ted Google Why not have your personal insight into this?’” Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor, who began his career as a bodybuilder here 44 years ago after he was tied up in a crowd ted admirers at the Gold Gym worried muscular. “And:” This conspiracy theory: “Google is coming up are going to take over it, and wipe our bodybuilding! ‘.”

That includes = 3000 square meters, the Gold Gym is extended, the symbol ted Venice bodybuilding, if not the universe in which Schwarzenegger held the following morning.
Never mind that Google tedficials said they had no intention ted moving the legendary gym – “We do not take gold,” said Jordan Newman, a spokesman for Google – the company to talk about his aversion long-term ambition to Venice, or because they want nothing to do with the development ted gold, has aroused a storm ted speculation and fear. “You are going to buy it, they kick you out there, and we move,” said Jerry Martin, standing in front ted the gym. Nathanial Moon, swollen muscles called ‘ultimate’ Revenge ted the Nerds, the best way to get all the guys at Google, people are stuffed into lockers in high school and stole all their prom dates. And you can not fight against Google, because they have billions ted dollars. “But,” he added, “I like their search engine.”
people are even beginning to see in Venice – the Venice ted the film, surfing and Muscle Beach – as Silicon Beach. This might seem to some progress, but not the water, where Venice can be found in all its garish splendor and tedten grungy, where a synagogue share the same strip ted pavement with a freak show advertising for a two-headed turtle.
“I do not want to see how Venice Santa Monica look,” said Tarver DeAlphria, 26 years old, handmade hats on a shore full ted vendors, Drifters and the homeless sleep on the lawn skateboarders. Google, he said, is “want to make it look much more polished, and not like hippies.” Schwarzenegger said the community was “crazy” and that he appreciated it. “Google has all ted Venice, which is available purchased,” said the former governor, who has been buying and selling real estate here for almost 30 years. But it would be Google, as a neighbor and said fears that would transform Silicon Valley in Venice in a tank on the Pacific is an exaggeration. “This is the mecca ted bodybuilding: they will never leave,” said

You come out ted the holes and place. And you smell ted incense. A touch ted the 60s is all there, and come from all providers.
“This place is crazy,” he said. “You should not smoke a joint in Venice. Just go for a bike ride in the morning, just breathe, live and all the others. “
He stopped to show where he and Jack LaLanne had as a younger version ted the governor whacked a punching bag work from the beach.” You can see how it is built, “said.” The grass. The bathroom. None ted this was here. Some people think it is the personality is lost. I do not think it’s the personality is lost. “ Venice today is not like Schwarzenegger took the point as he was drawn by the promise ted” nice buildings and hotels, as a kind ted look like the French Riviera, “he said.” But when I came here, it was totally like a landfill.

Welch says that the people in Australia were generally risk averse, and start-ups are risky by nature, so many of our best and brightest minds to stay in Australia to take a pay raise and to work for one of the big banks large and choose instead to join a start-up.
“The second thing is a tip, there are a lot of people here who have similar businesses who will be able to give me tips on what I would have to SWITCHcam to scale as the business, how do you sell to give different brands, the people I worked with ESPN and Disney.
“This is a known quantity and is less here in Australia. The market here is much bigger, so you always have access to a wider group of people.

“I know this is a trivial answer, but I really want to change the world … in my own little way,” says Welch.

This is the view of Freelancer.com Chief Matt Barrie, on the Task -Force, which was worked on the action plan NSW Digital Economy Industry – the public consultation next month or so published, but from this side Celebrated
from the State Government and the Task Force as “. Setting the direction and vision for our country in the next decade and beyond, “Mr. Barrie describes in part as a fluff” ‘Window”’ dressing room and a” white elephant “.
The task force includes one each Representatives from IBM, Telstra, Optus, Foxtel, CSIRO, Omnilab integrated media companies, network Ausgrid, digital production company, the factory. project and risk-capital OneVentures
But in an e-mail to the members of the Task Force Last week, says Mr. Barrie:
“see After attending the first meeting and how the committee was poorly defined (read:” Digital “) and stacked (read: any technology company), with the exception of Deaker woman who is a joint venture capital for technology companies working .. . and of course, the CSIRO, it became clear that this is to try one more embarrassment for the initiative to build the tech industry. Was
“I mean, the first meeting, they discussed the project of an ‘intelligent light’ in Parramatta, the proposed distributed throughout the country. “I’m serious guys, WTF? What we are talking about when we say that digital technology? Or a mishmash of interest in the film, media, telecommunications, services and infrastructure, if so, what could our” digital Future “to be achieved?” The 53-page report project that touches on issues of funding and support to start-up point raised in this series Digital Dreamers contains eight recommendations . But Mr. Barrie, who is the head of three years, online-business-outsourcing has transformed more than $ 35 million last year, he poured scorn on some other (read his comments on each at the end). He suggests an alternative plan. The problem in Australia, he says, is declining enrollment in science and technology, and the fact that schools do not focus enough IT. high school students “are to have a whole group of people, frankly, not much has changed in the last 20 exposed, 30 or 50 years,” he said. “We are pleased with the established pattern of behavior said to be” right “and” drugs “to the career top aim. Are ” Graduate students and do not know what it means to “engineer” the word means. “The two subjects that we teach them today in some schools are so ridiculously awful, you might think that t hey were written by The Onion about 1950.” Mr Barrie outlined a detailed plan of how the program can be for a relatively low cost and rewritten, with the participation of the National School of Computer Science. and propose new programs, rather than that proposed in the report. Mr. Barrie says there is no other industry that can have as much wealth for the country with a low investment, and “there is no other industry in which” the age of 28 can make $ 50 billion company in eight years. “” That’s a lot of jobs in an area with high capacity, and a set of sentences in the society, “he writes. ” marketing, but fluffy, building, waved his hand and the word Smith is to report on political correctness is not really part of it, in my opinion. “ Recommendations
In an interview prior to the loss of the relationship, said Deputy Prime Minister, Andrew Stoner NSW, the findings of the report this site” would be taken over by the government a political sense. “

take Mr. Barrie. “Instead of bringing us to put pressure on the federal government over the tax reform to undo what they did with stock option plans, through the funding of law amount, and flourish in fact to create a favorable regulatory environment for start-ups and attract investors, we try to put $ 20 million into a fund to try to bribe the start-up to the use of the building, we build in Redfern. “

The 53-page report was distributed to members of the working group last Tuesday and they were only a day and a half to sign-off given. The “final version” was then scheduled to be delivered to the NSW Government by the end of last week. “If no response is received, we will continue the process of transition and an answer of “zero”, as the consent to release have, “wrote Michael Harrington NSW Department of Trade and Investment in an e-mail to members of Task Force, seen from this side. suggests Mr. Barrie Technology entrepreneurs and inviting as Mike Cannon-Brookes, co-founder of Global Australia-based Atlassian power technology, the Task Force (“to be fast, if not already, the next largest in Australia, billion-dollar company”). However, said Mr. Cannon-Brookes said. “Mate, I did last year, and was the first and the last government committee that I never do”
The Chairman of the Task Force, IBM Research and Development Director Glenn Wightwick, said in a statement by the NSW Department of Trade & Investment Task Force, which had a “rigorous process of consultation” for views involved in the industry.
He said the draft final report 30 written submissions would be considered together with comments made in seven regional consultations on the matter expressed. “The same task force also includes skills, knowledge and understanding of the right side of the industry considered high, and the seen the draft final report represents the efforts and opinions of the entire team, “said Wightwick. Foxtel Chief Information Officer, Robyn Elliott, who also sits on the Task Force, the draft of the report by the Herald , which was captioned version 32, was “a definite possibility, not yet. “ According to the State Government’s report for another round has to be approved by public consultation before the plan is completed to read. ” Matt is a member of the Task Force, like the rest of us, so we all our comments on it, “he said. But Ms. Barrie Elliott dismissed suggestions that companies such as Foxtel not tried the right company in a task force to build the digital economy are included. ” It is not is just for start-up, as all businesses have access to digital skills, “he told the Herald . Another member of the Task Force, Jennifer Wilson, director of the factory project Barrie said, “does not generate a lot of really good points,” but most would be a federal government need support. The response to comments made by Mr Barrie on digital fence near made by Redfern, said Ms. Wilson, that there are a lot of richer discussion of the Task Force meeting at which area of the digital age has Whoever the draft report. “The Committee is not suggesting that we take t his disused railway lines and in start-up center,” he said, adding that The Task Force recognized there was already considerable burden on start-ups, Sydney and Pyrmont.

Barber is one of a number of entrepreneurs who rely on online computer programming technology to their ideas. His music app, car audio deck was $ US6360 by supporters of the Crowdfunding appbackr.com site and was financed by a Chinese woman who has never known who offered $ US2500 on outsourcing site Freelancer.com brought his idea to life.

“The level of concentration and effort it takes to the iPod app or music is to use standards [while driving] much more difficult [car audio deck of the application],” said Barber. “The keys are smaller, the way in which we move through the music and more difficult.” An art director for a marketing agency in Sydney during the day would, Barber not reveal what he had to sell the music app – which launched worldwide in March – except to say that had sold thousands of copies and made more money from him, paid the K ele Chun freelancer in China has to develop it. ‘s has developed the second app Barber is successful, the first letter buddy , an application for those who work in marketing designed. He hopes to “transition” from his job and app development soon, but said he would wait until their applications have been earned him enough money to do it. Freelancer.com CEO Craig said Matt Barrie, history has shown how “the spark of an idea lit in a fully functional application, a product or a business” without any programming knowledge. “You do not need hundreds of thousands of dollars more in venture capital financing to turn your dreams into reality,” said Barrie. “We have to reach so many stories of Australian entrepreneurs and small businesses, the things that could make otherwise not do. Many end up creating new jobs, because their idea into a thriving business, and are capable of a global market of the bac k of a credit card. “

“Many developers will never reach,” he says. said

Australia was hit by LEGO a fear of security. And their children – was not properly secured
LEGO Australia has 1591 letters to the parents, who recently tried to register their children for the LEGO Club Magazine informs, that their personal information is transmitted
.
In a letter dated 14 May, Lego said he was aware that his industry of Australia and New Zealand LEGO Club website is not “sure” that the acceptance of the entry of data between 27 March and 5 May this year.

LEGO Club agrees to $ 19.95 for membership, access to LEGO Club magazine contains to pay. The 14th May letter, that such information “could be vulnerable state” during the period, including names, addresses, date of birth (if available) and telephone number (if available). The date of birth was that the child, while the name was both parent and child. In an interview with Caroline Squire, LEGO Australia and New Zealand, director of marketing, said that the credit card information is not correct for the 1182 parents who their child was not signed during the period of his side safely. The 409 other parents who were sent letters were to have entered those with incomplete data sets that did not enter their credit card, but their address. Squire said that the website of the LEGO Club SSL encryption lacked (the block of gold is generally on banking and e-commerce sites to see) for 27 March to 5 may, after a peri od of renovation of the site’s SSL certificate was created correctly configured, which means transactions during the period were not encrypted. You wrote “human error” as the reason for the certificate is not configured properly, and insisted that no member of the personal information available on the public internet for all was. Security expert Peter Wesley hacklabs said, a person with bad intentions should be on the same machine as a network of parents who have to steal their personal data, as they sang the LEGO Club website when he was uninsured. If the parents had to the place in a free, non-protected Wi-Fi, for example, signed, and a hacker is logged, then the hacker may be able to acquire information about the parent company. Although the above scenario is based on a number of things Falling into Place (and is unlikely to have taken place for many), Lego said Australia was informed the Commissioners on this issue . Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim said he was pleased LEGO proactively notify him of the matter. “I LEGO Australia asked to inform me of how they react to the injury and when I report that I’ll decide if we need to take further measures,” said Pellegrino. hacklabs Wesley said it was good to inform customers about LEGO “, rather than keep him calm.” Instead of using an online form to Club LEGO to sign the LEGO Australia, now require customers to sign up with the help of a form to be printed and mailed to the headquarters need as he investigates the incident.

robot moves with your mind
Nature .
A quadriplegic woman has used his mind to control a robotic arm, took a sip from a bottle, without support for the first time since 15 years. The 58-year-old American was one of two people from the neck down by a stroke, their brains were using a small electronic device that nerve impulses are translated into commands that are implanted in a robot work-paralyzed body. The other patient, a 66-year-old man, he directed the robotic arm to touch a ball of foam. Advertisement: Story continues below

“I just thought moving the arm and his [robotic] arms move where I wanted to go,” he said.
The events mark an important step towards the restoration of paralyzed mobility and independence for people with a neurological disease or injury. As part of its research scientists have a surgically implanted electronic device, called Brain Gate, in the region of the brain that controls voluntary movement, the motor cortex of the patient. The pioneer of the unit and co-author of the study, John Donoghue, said that the device 96 thin electrodes detects the electrical impulses from neighboring neurons. Each signal is then connected by a series of thin wires with a computer algorithm in the electrical patterns into instructions that control the robot traveled deciphered, said Professor Donoghue, a neuroscientist at Brown University in the United States. For program algorithms to decode neural signals, scientists have had both patient and obse rve the motion of the robot arm and imagine moving their own limbs. intention to move the patient, as represented in the brain signals were then translated into commands that can control the robot arm. Professor Donoghue said the team was surprised to discover that the information is also detailed models of the brain of the patient, such as where they wanted to decipher his hand placed in the room, the speed of their movements, and if they could open and close the hand. “This decoding algorithms are the product of many years of basic neuroscience research on how the neural signals that are intended to be,” said Professor Donoghue, whose results in the journal Nature published . The experiments took place in April last year showed a person to operate motor cortex years after injury, he said. Since each a different type of patient-controlled robotic arm that is designed to be strong and stiff, and precise and agile, both could rea ch out and grasp an object. While the study was an important step forward, more research for the group needed to achieve their goal – to connect to the brain to the limbs of a person’s own or connect the brain with a leg amputee prosthesis, said Professor Donoghue The team had previously shown that patients with spinal cord injuries could use reason to control a cursor on a computer screen.
Like it or not, Facebook users can expect more releases

If advertisers do not have direct access to the data, but give a list that you want to appeal, according to the basic information such as age, gender and interest in Facebook and Facebook has ads on their account. units Facebook users in the”” species on the basis of the information on hand, but mine would provide advertisers deeper and deeper understanding for people who want to align to ads. ” get hold of this data type of the dream of every marketer would be. There is a gold mine. It would really improve the targeting of their other online advertising, as it would reach the right people with their messages,” said Mr. Miskelly. The Director of Social Media News, David Cowling, reckons that mobile phone users to see more ads on a laptop, a sector the company has yet to be exploited displayed, but reported as an area of growth. Mr. Cowling is the lowest profit for each user from Australia to the fact that only a few small businesses use Facebook for advertising. He said Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg castle, which will remain a major shareholder, would have resisted selling the site. ” It’s always focused on new products and make it the best. New revenue sources was never really his goal. Whether this remains the case after the IPO [float] remains to be seen.”
