Terry Myerson, head of Microsoft’s operating systems, assured during the presentation of Windows 10 in San Francisco that was a platform for a decidedly new kind which justified the choice to go directly from Windows 8 to Windows 10 Windows One name was once believed, but the idea was dropped because the name had already been used, has he added.

Return of the “Start” menu

One of its objectives is to resettle Microsoft’s lucrative enterprise computing, which has shunned Windows 8

This is a very significant release for professionals, business users. There are spaces to store your business data, personal data.

Also new is the basic interface will be the same for all types of terminals, Windows Phone to the PC, with such well-known in the Windows world tiles. And the “start” menu will make his return.

But Microsoft has not yet announced the price of this new Windows. More information should be filtered by mid-2015, when it will be available.

It will therefore not be Windows 9 or Windows, but Windows 10 One Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled the next version of its operating system (OS). And if the company skips a number, it is better to cut the cord with Windows 8, which really has not convinced the public. Let alone businesses.

Windows 10 is not expected with the end of 2015 but a “technical preview” version will be available as a free download for everyone on Wednesday. Microsoft had used the same strategy with the previous edition.

A more familiar interface

“Windows 10 will run on a wide range of machines, the Internet of Things to the data center, “writes Microsoft. The company is particularly looking to regain the business world, including an app store that can be customized to the needs of each company.

Windows 10 returns especially in a more familiar interface. The start menu is now reinstated and office merges the classic and “Metro” environments with attractive design. Microsoft backtracks on full screen and back to windowed programs that can fit in half or quarter screen. Finally, it will be possible to manage multiple offices, as on Ubuntu. Good things, so that should calm the PC users

LIVE. Windows 9 will be called … Windows 10! Highlights -

Microsoft Unveils New Windows on Tuesday night, during a conference in San Francisco.

19 h 41 The Windows interface 10 is a big step forward: it disavows what was unbearable in Windows 8! Fini, the launch of “modern” full screen applications. Now we keep access to the taskbar and start menu, even with modern applications. The “view tasks” displays on the screen, in miniature, all open windows. Very similar to that of Mac OS X. function

19 h 35 The integrated search in Windows has been optimized.

19 h 29 Joe Belfiore, vice president in charge of Microsoft operating systems, comes into play. The brilliant inventor of the start menu of Windows 95 and Windows Phone interface announces the return of the new start menu in Windows! Since Windows 8 was buried this feature, users demanded his return. It will be done. Start this new menu with dynamic tiles and a classic column.

19 h 23 Microsoft is already the laughingstock of Twitter, which mocks his inability to count correctly (as the successor to Windows 8 will be called Windows 10). On stage, Terry Myerson, head of the Windows division, discusses the business market: “Companies need to evaluate Windows upstream, and we begin our dialogue with them today.”

19 h 13 Windows 10 will be available in all formats: PC, tablet, smartphone and even, according to the pictures, TV. Exit, then, the difference between Windows, Windows Phone and Windows RT.

19 h 11 To everyone’s surprise, the new Windows called Windows 10 , not Windows 9. get lost. “This is not a joke,” quips The Verge.

19 h 4 The conference begins. Terry Myerson, head of the Windows division, spoke. “About 1.5 billion people use Windows today.” “It is time to have a new Windows,” he adds.

18 h 51. The password in Wi-Fi conference room is “Windows 2015″. Maybe a sign for the name of the future Windows, as well as its release date?

18 h 22 Microsoft is expected to release in October a pre-release of Windows 9 This will allow developers to prepare their software to be compatible right out the new operating system, and the technical teams of companies to prepare for possible migration tools.

18 h 10 Microsoft invited a few dozen journalists for their event dedicated to companies in San Francisco, to “look into the future of Windows and the company.” Despite this “pro” orientation, it is more than likely that the ads will affect all editions of Windows, including for individuals

-. 9 Windows could be free for users of Windows 8 Just like updating Windows 8.1, Windows 9 would be considered as an update to Windows 8 Individuals will enjoy, even if such a measure is primarily intended to convince organizations to migrate their posts en masse to the new system. For users of Windows 7 and earlier versions, however, it will likely go to the checkout …

– The start menu could make a comeback. the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 had buried had raised the button, but not the menu. Nostalgic for the classic interface will certainly rejoice the return of the Start menu, extremely helpful (even downright necessary) when using the PC with a mouse, not a touchscreen. The new start menu should be modernized and integrate dynamic tiles as modern interface introduced by Windows 8

-. Output could be close Microsoft wants to defend its market share. in business, particularly in light of Apple. That is why the ads place on Tuesday evening at a Microsoft event dedicated to professionals. To succeed, the software giant has to go very quickly. If Windows 9 will certainly not be available right away, it could happen in the coming months, not in October, in the period of usual launch of the publisher.

PHOTOS VIDEO – Watch The Apple sets world premiere at the … – MetroNews

It was a world first. This Tuesday, September 30, Apple Watch exhibited for the first time in public. For this well-oiled marketing operation, Apple chose the Colette store, Parisian temple of fashion and trends. All in full Fashion Week. Besides, Anna Wintour (editor of the American edition of Vogue), Jony Ive (designer of the Apple products), fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld or Australian Mark Newsom (designer renowned freshly recruited by Apple) have a quick appearance in the store before opening at 11 am this morning.

To announce this, Colette and Apple have played the game buzz. A mysterious invitation sent out a tweet yesterday and Colette unveiling the surprise was enough to move several dozen people. Among them, Bertrand Besse, young entrepreneur of 31 was the first in the queue.

Play the map fashion rather than technology

“I arrived this morning at 8 am 45,” he says in MetroNews . He reached for that time in his schedule this morning. “I’m a fan of Apple products and I got the news late last night, this is the first time that the watch is exposed to the public”, he enthuses.

In the queue Waiting also include Maxim and Sonia, a couple of students in media 23 and 21 years. “We did not have class this morning, so we took the opportunity to come,” they explain. We wanted to see the real because we have some prejudices about its use “Maxim does not hesitate to show us his laptop, which is not a smartphone.” But we do have a few Apple devices at home, including an iPad. “They will certainly be disappointed that Apple Watch is exposed only under glass, without being able to handle it.

This is indicative of Apple’s strategy regarding its watch. Rather than relying on any technology, the brand also plays on fashion and style. Presented in full Paris Fashion Week is no coincidence. Deneve Paul, former leader of the St. Lawrence and Yves now used by Apple (he reports directly to Tim Cook), was also present this morning to ensure the smooth running of the event. Parisians have, in turn, until tonight 19 hours to admire the Apple Watch . Or wait its release in early next year Starting price:. 349 euros

Windows 9: Summary of rumors – ZDNet

The invitation “what’s next for Windows” launched last week by
 Microsoft for a press conference in San Francisco on Tuesday
  not really left room for doubt.
 On the occasion of the conference of Microsoft France returned it a few days ago, the president , Alain Crozier,
  eventually remove all doubts. “Last year, we were with
 Windows 8 release [Editor's note: 8.1] in a few hours, a few days
  we get out our new OS, Windows 9 “Has he said so in the first minutes of his speech.

We know as well as Windows 9 is a continuation of Windows 8 and 8.1.
  While maintaining the touch of the previous OS aspects, the new
 milling places particular emphasis on the environment Bureau
 Windows and uses KVM. This is mostly for Microsoft to regain control after a Windows 8 that disappointed …

-The name

If Alain Crozier talking about Windows 9, Nicolas Petit, director of marketing and operations division of Microsoft France, wanted to bring accuracy. “We look forward to seeing you in late September, in San Francisco, for
 future of Windows, which actually at this point has no name as
 such “he says.

But an on-line web page a bit too early (and now removed)
 Windows Technical Preview for Windows Company name evokes the TH
 which could be an abbreviation for Threshold, codenamed known
 that future Windows.

-The marketing method

According Diantoro Andreas, head of the Indonesian division of Microsoft, Windows 9 will be a free update for all users on Windows 8

  way for Microsoft to forget the poor reception of Windows
 8, whose adoption continues to be slow. But the company also aligns
  another player in the market, Apple, with updates of OS X are
  now free.

If the free Windows 9 is confirmed,
  this version of the OS should be compared with Windows 8.1, an updated
 day also free system, as was previously the
 Windows Service Pack. Windows 9 should thus be downloadable
 from the Windows Store.

Microsoft will he still further
 by offering free Windows 9 to all users
 Windows? In principle yes, but only for OEM licensing, non-invoiced to manufacturers, and only on the screens of 9 inches or less -. So only new equipment

-L’interface

The return of the Start menu is THE main novelty
 mentioned about the upcoming Windows. It will be resized. It combines the classic layout of the Windows 7 with tiles
 dynamic from Windows 8

other equally substantial changes are expected. Example, the introduction of virtual desktops that allow users to run
 their applications in various areas while having a unified view.

According to
 site Neowin, this feature already on Mac OS X and Ubuntu
 would be accessed from a button on the taskbar. This option
 would be particularly useful for devices with small screens or
 workstations that have only one monitor.

Windows 9 more hybrid Windows 8 designed primarily for touch devices, will also display window on the desktop apps ModernUI. Also, if you are using a standard PC with keyboard and mouse interface
 Metro will not be enabled by default and will give way to the office
 and its traditional Start menu. For hybrid machines, if your keyboard
 is connected, the interface will be standard, if the user switches to
 touch as with the tablet surface, it is Metro that will be displayed.

Notification Center that many say inspired by that set
 recently introduced Windows Phone has been integrated: all notifications are
 centralized and can be seen in a single window information
 for recently connected equipment or notifications Skype
 user. To avoid being spammed by literally
 ongoing notifications, an option also clears
 alerts quickly and make way.
 

Finally, we will see a button to turn off, pause or restart its
 machine.

Windows 9 “Threshold” and the output rate: move fast, but not too much

Windows, the keystone endangered Microsoft System – Les Echos

Tonight, the American giant is expected to unveil the new version of its operating system. A crucial step in his career behind Apple and Google.

Restart. Microsoft would be entitled to a second chance to rewrite the nightmarish sequence in recent years. One that has seen the world of electronics swept three bursts: smartphones, tablets and the cloud – computing on demand. On arrival, PC vendors and software to the former have the spleen, but it is the firm that depresses Bill Gates. It plays a large part of its future on the new version of its operating system, to be unveiled Tuesday evening.

For the moment, we do not yet know what exactly look like the new Windows – code-named “Threshold.” A priori, it is the return of a Start button remastered. The Web also abuzz with the rumor of a free for those who already have Windows 8

The only certainty is that matters, the importance of the topic to Microsoft. Windows is the keystone of its offer. Based on its cloud services, its software, its ecosystem of devices. This is especially the launch where everyone expects Satya Nadella, who arrived at the helm in February. This summer, the successor to Steve Ballmer explained want to do the Redmond giant champion of productivity for the company, anchored in the mobile and cloud. Before laying off 18,000 people who did not fit the project. But his first big acquisition was that of Minecraft, a video game …

The challenge of free

“ This will be a big launch, which can put an end to the debate on the vision of Nadella. With people who are used to the free OS from Google and Apple, Microsoft’s position on the subject will be very interesting , “said Craig Slice, an analyst at IHS. Sooner or later, Windows reinvent over free updates. Like its competitors. “ Sure, Microsoft is on the defensive in recent years. They will continue to invest in Windows and do everything they can to break into mobile devices , said Crawford Del Prete, Director at IDC. Microsoft is hungry and has a lot of money . “

Satya Nadella is he willing to sacrifice much for now as impressive annuity that he gives Windows (25% of revenues and 38% of operating income in 2013). It is possible: since February, he has already made the free Windows Phone operating system on smartphones and minitablettes. And, unthinkable before, he proposed the Office suite … on the iPad.

change to last, the stakes are high. For the days when Microsoft dominated the screens already belongs to the past. If Windows team more than 9 out of 10 computers, it no longer runs on 14% of all devices, including PCs, according to Gartner. The lion’s share is now up to Google, with its Android, very popular on smartphones and tablets. Worse, with the stagnation in PC sales and the failure so far of Microsoft in mobile – where he still weighs less than 5% of the market in spite of all his efforts – the positions of the group could still crumble.

Recreate the magic

Unless the new Windows changes the game. “ In my opinion, they have everything you need. A large customer base, a good cloud platform. Even assets in the general public, with Skype or XBox console One decrypts a competitor. Their challenge is to bring it all into a coherent whole. And drawing . ” The appeal of the brand is crucial, confirms the European leader of another software giant: “ Their products are pretty good, but nobody wants THAT Microsoft products … they absolutely must create this Magic . ” The upcoming opening of a flagship store planted in the heart of Fifth Avenue in New York could help.

It will also convince for good developers – “The road is still long in the matter” , noted Roberta Cozza, an analyst at Gartner. Not to keep computer manufacturers, who are turning more and more to Google. Samsung confirmed last week that he stopped selling Windows computers in Europe … Certainly, Korean is the biggest seller of Android. But still.

Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko: Rosetta approaches – Linformatique.org

Since entering orbit around the comet 67P / the comet in August, Rosetta has continued to move closer to the star, from 100 km to 10 km normally today.

The meeting of the Rosetta probe and the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko s’ is first made by an orbiting a few hundred miles in August. While the goal of the European probe is to release the Philae current module November, Rosetta has continued to get closer since.

This is how Rosetta’s orbit gradually reduced from 100 km to 80 km distance. On September 10, taking advantage of being 30 kilometers from the nucleus, the probe has subtly maneuvered to move from elliptical to circular orbit as detailed video of the ESA. Thus, the European spacecraft flying at 30 kilometers from the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko on September 10.

This merger was a step since Rosetta continued maneuvers to be 20 kilometers on Monday 29 September. As highlighted by the CNES, this maneuver is a unique high-risk operation.

The idea of ​​this approximation is obviously to facilitate the release of Philae, the module that will land on the comet aware November. But until then, this proximity will primarily serve to detail the mapping of Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko in order to validate the planned landing site for the module. For proof, one need only compare the images taken by Rosetta in different lights, different shots that can highlight many reliefs previously invisible.

If all goes well with this approximation to 20 km, another operation will then be conducted in a week in order to bring Rosetta 10 kilometers from the nucleus, a final reconciliation which will be crucial for the success of the mission

Rosetta Philae has made an appointment with his comet! Highlights -

<- Col article ->

After selecting a possible landing site for Philae, the mission team Rosetta adjusted the date on which the European probe should jettison his robot lab on Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The extremely delicate, and never before attempted operation is now scheduled for Wednesday, November 12, rather than 11 as previously mentioned. However, even if timing is accurate, both options are still open. In order to deal with any eventuality, the European Space Agency (ESA) has selected two possible landing sites Philae, a favorite site D on the smaller lobe of the comet dual core and a backup site C its largest lobe. But on this point, the team should still hold its final decision until 14 October. A precaution due to the unpredictability of comets …

Visit the site J and C on the comet through this animation:

in fact, made of ice and dust agglomerated, these bodies have the particularity to activate when their orbit – usually very long – leads close to the Sun. Clearly, due to the increasing heat, their ice (ice water but not only) sublime, that is to say, they go directly from the solid state to state gas carrying rocks along the way. So the surface of the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko (Rosetta and Philae have rightly mission to accompany his journey toward the Sun) is already emerging jets of gas and dust that could be involved in great danger if they were disturbing the descent of Philae. Because it will be in a completely passive. In other words once Rosetta will ejected the module, it will fall on the comet like a stone, no one will control its trajectory.

Risk rebound fatal

If the site is maintained as J landing site, Philae will separate from Rosetta 35 at 9 am (Paris time) to begin a descent of 22 , 5 km. Then the fall will last about seven hours, landing on the comet being provided to 16 h 30 and confirmation of smooth operations for 17 hours, since the signals sent by Rosetta takes about 28 minutes to reach Earth. However, if the ESA should fall back on the backup site C, the release would take place at 14 am 04 The descent, which would be only 12.5 km, then only last for four hours.

As for the main purpose of the first landing on a comet risk is that of a fatal rebound. Because the gravitational pull that the comet will have on the robot 100 kg will be extremely low. So as soon as Philae will touch the ground, the two harpoons, which it is equipped, seek to entrench. Similarly, a gas is emitted to create a supposed press it against the surface of 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko thrust. Its three legs with screws so then eventually to fix the floor.

First “Martian” images of the Indian MOM probe – KultureGeek

 
 

We learned there are some days that the India had achieved a real feat by managing to reach the orbit of March with its first probe, MOM ( Mars Orbiter Mission ). This first test became first success was built on more financial and logistical means incommensurate ( $ 58 million only ) with those USA or even China had set up (which in the case of China has not had the expected results since the trial in 2012 ended in failure.)

Region of Syrtis Mayor; detail across 376 meters

The ISRO , the Indian space agency is to publish the first pictures of Mars taken by DOM probe, and although the quality of these pictures is a bit fuzzy nowhere near shooting extremely detailed American and European probes, it remains a real feat given the weakness of the means implemented. The sky of the red planet is beginning to be a little crowded since a few days before the arrival of MOM in the Martian orbit, the American orbiter Maven had already arrived on site.

Ello.co is it really a social network philanthropist? Not so sure …. – ZDNet

Article updated September 29 at 9 am

Ello.co is the new social network in fashion. Still by invitation only, he claims to respect your privacy and lacking any form of advertising. What contrast with the giants of the sector. Facebook and Twitter do they worry about the

This is promised in their charter, widely promoted on the site, Ello.co will not sell your data personal (though the site admits to collect certain) and does not expose you to advertising in any form: “We believe a social network Can Be a tool for empowerment tool to deceive Not a, coerce, and. Manipulate – but a place to connect, create, and celebrate life You are not a product “

p align => “..” net / wp / wp-content / uploads / 2014/09 / ello-01.jpg “alt =” “height =” 288 “width =” 600 “/>

That speaks directly to the old Web adage of saying colloquially as “if it’s free, is that you’re the product.” We remember, for example, Facebook, which proposed Wi-Fi in 2012 with some behavioral data …

In practice it is time for a social network functionality sum all fairly standard, offering a mix of Facebook and Twitter, all in a spartan design … not to mention ugly. No revolution use the horizon as was for example brought Path (term limited to a small number of friends private network) or Snapchat (sharing photos and videos of ephemeral). Also it is not yet possible to perform certain Ello.co essential actions for a social network such as blocking a user disturbing, report inappropriate content or even post a simple video … Just the promise of “freedom “and alternative to the capitalist devil who chairs the fate of the largest social networks today

Good intentions and capitalism

Problem:. Ello.co not offer any of the Typical features of the free software world. Its source code is not made available to all as Diaspora for example, exporting data is impossible, and no API is available on the horizon …

Worst, where we might expect that such a project was created through equity or a system of participatory financing (Kickstarter or whatever), it does is nothing. Behind Ello.co, there is … venture capital. Specifically FreshTracks Capital , a VC-firm that pumped nearly $ 500,000 into the project in March (see the transaction on the website of the SEC.)

The founder of Ello.co, Paul Budnitz is also the typical profile of a perfect serial entrepreneur American capitalism since it is already the head of a bicycle brand of luxury, or a claw toys / figurines operator of many well-known licenses (The Simpsons, Ninja Turtles, Southpark, etc).

Let us understand It is not here to question the will of the creators Ello.co propose a social network “where the user is not the product” but all of these are all threats to the initial promise (no ads, respect for private life) and for the future of Ello.co. A venture capital is driven by one goal: to make financial profits. Nothing extraordinary about that, it is a common pattern in most companies – whatever the industry – in a world where the capitalist model dominates in most countries

But that’s it. a VC invests because he hopes – within or long – break even. An acquisition by an IPO, options are also often limited. How, in this context, keeping a promise that the monetization of users is impossible? By charging for premium features? Frankly, who would pay for Ello.co? Besides the multitude of “free” social networks that already exist …

Hype Machine

So why Ello.co suddenly makes the headlines? Why your friends post on Facebook the link to their profile Ello.co by offering invitations to join them? Because Ello.co is fashionable. Simply. Yo as there a few months, as Pheed there a little longer. Here, hype would come from an influx of LGBT activist, leaving Facebook in favor of a more “free” place. In all cases, there are no perks for some who already sell on eBay Ello.co invitations to …

As for the future of philanthropy Ello.co it already seems to me very compromise with $ 500,000 to reimburse a VC …

The MOM Indian probe sends first images from Mars – 2 Photos

The Indian space agency ISRO has made the first images of Mars acquired by its probe MOM (Mars Orbiter Mission) service. Admittedly, these are not the finest shots that NASA and the European Space Agency accustom us for several years, but for India venturing for the first time around March is a great achievement.

This mission, which cost only $ 74 million (compared with $ 671 million of Maven), gives an idea of ​​the skills acquired by the nation in the field Space Technology. In other words, space progress of India and the phase of technological catch-up continues.

After a launch, November 5, 2013, aboard a PSLV and leaving Earth a month later, on 5 December 2013, the MOM probe ( Maangalyaan in Sanskrit) came around Mars Sept. 24, 2014, days after the orbiter Maven NASA.

After a series of maneuvers orbit insertion, the spacecraft orbits Mars on a highly elliptical orbit inclined 150 degrees relative to the equatorial plane of Mars. With a perigee of 421.7 km altitude and apogee (farthest point) of 76,993.6 km, the probe makes a full rotation in a 72 hours 51 minutes and 51 seconds.

We all know that for quite a while, Google is pursued by the European Commission on the implementation of the right to oblivion. But as the company has always made her own way, she has not given up. Back to the fact, since May 13, 2014, the European Court of Justice has held that the engines were responsible for the processing of personal data by their algorithms. For that, regarding Google personally, the search is asked to remove personal data when they suffer from quality defects. But always, Google refuses to take action. But today, or yesterday precisely, the situation takes the setbacks, the company had met its committee of experts set up to floor on the issue of right to be forgotten.

Shellshock, the new flaw that worries Internet, is it worse than … – Slate.fr

The bug affects Bash, a program that you may not know, but it allows the user to access the features of the operating system.

As often in such cases, it oscillates between alarmism and jaded reaction. For the specialized site Cnet for example, there’s no doubt the new fault that has been identified, entitled “Shellshock” is ‘biggest qu’Heartbleed “. When other observers are far more reserved.

 

“It is very difficult to assess the extent , confirms the network specialist Stéphane Bortzmeyer by phone. What is certain is that there is a flaw. “

 

Made public this September 24th by a French engineer, Stéphane Chazelas, this vulnerability is not new: it exists in reality since … twenty-two years! And affects a program called Bash, designed and installed “at a time when the concept of Internet servers was very remote” remembers Stéphane Bortzmeyer.

1. What is Bash? And why it is called “bug Shellshock” Enter the Matrix

Bash is the “my stuff in which complicated commands you see in movies with hackers on tape,” explains on Twitter Heat Miser, a specialist in computer security. “THE thing, adds LS01 , which makes you look like an / a geek in the eyes of your parents and your / your little (e) friend (s).”

But it does not serve “that show off how Matrix ” says Stéphane Bortzmeyer. This is called a “shell ” software that allows the user to access features of the operating system. In particular it is the default shell for Unix, on which Linux is based but without the non-specialists really know, Apple’s OS. The brand products are vulnerable. Not to mention that Apple still has not proposed update to correct this vulnerability, noted in passing Stéphane Bortzmeyer.

As a shell, Bash therefore expose many applications that rely on it for perform certain tasks. As noted by a security consultancy Red Hat, which publishes open source software, quoted by ArsTechnica:

 

“This problem is particularly dangerous because there are several ways in which Bash may be requested by an application.”

 

For example, Stéphane Bortzmeyer complete, it can be called indirectly when one is on a web site. Without the user’s knowledge. Or, worse, the same developer of the site.

2. Ok, that makes what this bug? Take orders

A priori, this vulnerability Bash lets you edit content “running malicious code” , in the words of Cnet. But again, difficult to assess the possibilities in detail. A priori, have access to Bash machine as a server gives all rights: access data, start and stop things …

One possibility that seems endless, especially compared to the bug Heartbleed, which compares the specialized press “Shellshock”. As a reminder, this bug allowed “to access some of the information stored on many servers services on the Internet” , to quote the article on Slate wrote at the time. But fishing remained circumscribed:

 

“[...] the exploitation of this bug allows not to siphon all the memory of servers in a site, but only” a bit “(only 64KB, the equivalent of a small text file, image …) [...]. In addition, the individual benefit of the fault can not a priori control what goes fishing. “

 

Do not panic if: the real scope of “Shellshock”, to be appreciated, must be seen in context. So, how many machines are involved? And above all, how many developers know that their machines are concerned? In determining this, then we can say, as noted by ArsTechnica, if “vulnerability could be of the same magnitude as the bug Heartbleed, it might not be as dangerous.”

It remains to be determined. And there is a lot more complicated.

3. Who is involved? I heard that there was also connected objects? It depends on the size

According to Cnet, the bug could affect “major companies in the digital, web hosts midsize and even Internet-connected devices.”

Rest assured, however if you are a fan of the band or toothbrush connected, they should not be affected by Stéphane Bortzmeyer:

 

“A priori, connected objects may be involved. But in fact, their resources are probably too small to install Bash, too heavy. “

 

These objects lean against therefore certainly similar software which has the advantage of being lighter and also, therefore, not exposed to this fault.

Regarding other equipment exposed, again, unclear. At Slate, developers argue that the method, which is to lean against a site or application to Bash, is dated.

 

“It’s true, admits Stéphane Bortzmeyer but sometimes developers can make a function call without realizing that it appeals to the shell. ”

 

Similarly, the engineer insists that the websites, being reworked many times, have a history. A relic using Bash, and thus exposing this fault may still exist

And that’s the real problem. Whether people could fix this flaw to ignore its presence, how to ensure that the sites and exposed devices will receive the necessary updates? Like the bug Heartbleed, concerning a number of impressive websites, larger (Google, Yahoo …) to smaller, the difficulty here to ignorance of the subject, which prevents to settle the problem.

As usual in this area, it will be to measure the impact of this vulnerability. Some are, however, already hitched to scan the web for identifying, indicates Stéphane Bortzmeyer:

 

“I’ve seen on my server that people were trying to see if it is exposed [to this vulnerability] to exploit it.”

DHL also offers delivery drone, medicine – Clubic

The subsidiary of the German postal delivery inaugurated by drone. Confined to deliver medicine to a remote island 12 miles from land, the craft is unlikely to be extended to other uses.

DHL tour to experience the drone. After the recent announcements from Amazon and Google India to Australia, the German carrier, a subsidiary of Deutsche Post, will make its first deliveries by air and in an automated way. The “Parcelcopter” which could be translated as “Coliscopter” will initially mission to deliver drugs in the German island of Juist.

Coming from a research project started in December 2013, this UAV is a first for the European logistics industry. To fly, the drone of DHL had to obtain the necessary authorization, however, limited to a specific scope and be fully adapted to weather conditions in the North Sea. If this UAV is fully autonomous, it may be supported by an operator in case of problems.

To reach the remote island of 12 km, the Parcelcopter fly at an altitude of 50 meters and a speed of 18 meters per second, or about 65 km / h. Intended for emergency drugs and products, and to cover deficiencies ferry, the UAV will operate between two fixed bases scheduled for landing and takeoff. A courier will then take to route the order to the recipient.

By the admission of DHL, this project mainly serves as pilot for evaluating the constraints and benefits of UAV logistics use. When asked about the topic at the show E-commerce Paris, the French industry experts believe that this technology is relevant only in emergency situations or to serve single people.

Ten brands of tuna past the grill box – The World

The World | 26/09/2014 at 24:56 • Updated 09/26/2014 at 1:31 p.m. | By Martine Valo

The NGO took advantage of the first African Conference on tuna, which brings together the Government of Côte d’Ivoire, and representatives of the professional network on 25 and 26 September in Abidjan, to publicize its ranking of the top ten brands of canned both these manufacturers and their potential customers.

FRANCE CONSUMED 62,800 TONS OF CANNED TUNA A YEAR

Tuna going to disappear? It is certain that we eat too much: 4.5 million tonnes per year, nine times more than in the 1950s in France, it sells 62,800 tonnes of canned tuna per year, representing a market of 535.5 million euros

The King Tuna, red -. enriches the sushi restaurants – has led in recent years to great fights on the part of NGOs to environment until strict quotas are imposed and allow him to show signs of recovery. Today it is the turn of his cousins ​​-albacore (or yellowfin), skipjack (or bonito), bigeye tuna (or bigeye) – to be at risk of decline. It is on them that palmares Greenpeace focuses.

AN EFFICIENT FISHING TOO

On 10 raw tuna brands present on the French market stalls, Greenpeace believes the company Eckmühl lighthouse is the one that has the most virtuous practices to the extent that it sources only tuna caught by pole or line behind. Only downside: the choice of species. Certainly, it does not use yellowfin Atlantic – the most endangered population – but it sells mostly yellowfin in the Indian Ocean, which is currently too removed to be able to reproduce sustainably. U system, which is second in the standings, pick in the skipjack tuna stocks that are doing better.

These two brands are followed by Carrefour, Auchan, Intermarket, Constable, Hot sauce, Small Ship, Casino. “ The supply of major brands is essentially a destructive fishing practice” , using “a device for concentrating fishing” , laments Greenpeace. Finally, Leclerc ranks last for not having responded to the survey.

Small Vessel challenged his severe classification by the NGO. “The commitment to sustainable fishing is one of the historical values ​​of the company, since the creation of Etablissements Paul Paulet in 1932,” protested the company. It disputes from his fish caught with the technique of fishing aggregating devices (FADs), which represents 65% of its supply as it not almost all, as indicated by Greenpeace.

SHARKS AND TURTLES RELEASED DYING

What is wrong with these we now famous DCP? Their effectiveness. They attract large predators attracted by the small fish that aggregate below and leave them little chance of escape. Whether they derive deep sea FADs are equipped with GPS beacon and most modern state with an echo sounder biomass that revolves around them. The fishermen then have just come up with seines several kilometers long to catch all marine species.

This technique was developed in the tropical fishing is not Selective: juvenile tuna, sharks, turtles, rays are discarded overboard dying as environmentalists when Small Ship provides training its sailors to release alive water

DCP. in any case have undergone rapid development in the 1990s French tuna fleets and especially Spanish – the two largest of the European Union – have adopted in the Indian Ocean off the coast of West Africa. “ There is no supervision of tec h Picnic FADs, fishers the s bite them reports François Chartier, in charge of ocean campaign in Greenpeace. The s Spaniards engage in true industrialization: they drop in the Indian Ocean several hundreds of DCP they both Transportation ent in dedicated ships. “
