Antiterrorism: Ciotti wants to ban Apple to sell the iPhone in France, if the firm does not cooperate with justice – Liberation

The puzzle of the government to the partial Ayrault

Urns.

In the wake of a new mobilization against the airport of Notre-Dame-des-Landes, the government is working on the calendar to organize partial legislative in 3rd constituency of Loire-Atlantique. The date will be known in the coming days, it is to replace Jean-Marc Ayrault, leaving his deputy. Indeed, his deputy, Jean-Pierre Fougerat, died last year, and the seat member of the former Socialist prime minister has been vacant since joining the Quai d’Orsay with the latest reshuffle, the 11 February.

already, the socialist candidates are scrambling to seek the mandate of Ayrault. PS activists will decide between the 10 March. Four candidates are vying for the Socialist nomination: Karine Daniel, Deputy Mayor of Nantes, Jean-Michel supplemented by Eon (assistant COUERON); Jerome Sulim, former councilor in Nantes (1989-1995) and employee of a social security organization, will go with his deputy Brigitte Cestor, activist and PS official INSEE; Riadh Brahim (Nantes militant, who appeared in 58th position on the Socialist list in the last municipal) broke, compensates by Emmanuelle François; but Jocelyn Bureau (former regional councilor and alderman of Saint-Herblain), supplemented by Farida Rebouh (Assistant at Saint-Herblain).

Microsoft unveils the price of the first version of Hololens … and its potential – 01net.com

Announced several months ago by Microsoft as the coming revolution, the HoloLens headphones will be available for delivery on 30 March, for developers.

The company has announced that it will cost $ 3,000 to get their hands on it, on condition of being in the US or Canada. But the Redmond company has mainly introduced several key applications that should accompany its augmented reality headset.

From creating 3D objects

On his blog, Microsoft and offer some concrete examples of how developers, but also the general public will benefit from his product. With HoloStudio, it will be possible for example to create objects by first building the form of holograms. These can then be made directly through a 3D printer.

But some
already popular software will also get a HoloLens release. This is for example the case of Skype, which will offer new features. It will for example be possible to communicate in real time with an electrician to perform remote repairs. With the camera mounted on the helmet, the latter will see real-time user action and can thus guide the best. The technician can even draw away HoloLens in the virtual environment to facilitate the task.

Still many constraints

HoloLens also expected to travel or play. The HoloTour application will end up in the middle of 360-degree images, while keeping an eye on the real world – what differentiates augmented reality helmet of a dedicated device for virtual reality as the Samsung Gear VR or LG 360 VR. Microsoft also showed Fragments, an augmented reality video game that puts you in the heart of a high-tech thriller, whose protagonists will challenge you in your living room … In actual size! Like the HTC Vive Pre, the camera placed on the helmet will include elements actually existing in the play within the virtual world

Microsoft – HoloTour offer 360-degree images

in unveiling the many contents, Microsoft insists that HoloLens is a machine more running on Windows 10, and therefore compatible with other devices operating in the same environment. The brand’s ambitions are high, but it will certainly wait before they can enjoy. First, because the cost is very high for the time and prevents democratization of the unit.

In addition, certain technical constraints remain. As shown in the pictures and the tests that we have carried out, the field of vision is still very limited and limit the immersive nature of the helmet. Other parameters such as autonomy will still need to work on the part of Microsoft teams. The provision of HoloLens for developers is more to take as a starting point than an achievement.

Apple will unveil the iPhone OS and the new iPad Pro March 21 – 01net.com

Please note change of date! According to some media, including Re / code, the next keynote Apple is expected to occur during the week of March 21, 2016 and not March 15 as imagined until now.

The Cupertino company will use this event to breathe of fresh air to its product lines. This should formally explore the SE iPhone, a new iPad and accessories for the Watch.

SE iPhone should be strongly inspired by the iPhone 5s and equipped with a Retina display four inches . It could embark on A9 processor, the Touch ID (but not 3D Touch Pressure Sensor), an NFC chip and is available in two versions, with 16 or 32 GB of storage space.

new iPad is a mini version of the iPad Pro. It would offer a 9.7-inch screen, the A9X embark processor and would be available with various storage capacities from 32 to 128GB. It would also be compatible with the Smart Keyboard and stylus launched last year.

An interview of the Minister of Labour to the Voices , February 17, had set fire to the powder. “We will take our responsibilities” , said M ^me El Khomri, questioned the possible use of Article 49-3 (adoption of a text without a vote, except confidence motion) to get this text, as for Macron law in 2015.

this possibility, even before the filing of the bill in Parliament, had aroused strong opposition within the Socialist Party, already strongly divided on the vote of the required constitutional reform by Francois Hollande, President of the Republic, and including deprivation of nationality for perpetrators of terrorist crimes.

in an article vitriolic published Wednesday with Le Monde , Martine Aubry denounced a “weakened France” which would lead the MM policy. Holland and Valls.

Raspberry Pi 3: more powerful, with Wi-Fi and always … $ 35 – 01net.com

Four years after the launch of the first Raspberry Pi and having sold over 8 million units worldwide (as Eben Upton, founder of the brand), the English company formalizes the Pi 3. This is the new PC microphone of the brand, it remains the same size, the same price ($ 35) but provides 30 to 60% performance (depending on use) more than the second iteration, adding WiFi and Bluetooth his recipe.

Still small but beefier!

The small Raspberry Pi 3 (8.5 x 5.6 x 1 7 cm) is probably the biggest evolution of the family. Indeed, this new model integrates wireless communications (802.11n and BT 4.1) but also features a brand new processor SoC (System on Chip) designed by Broadcom. Type ARM Cortex-A53, it is about 10 times more powerful than the board computation chip on the first Raspberry Pi. Thus, each of the four cores clocked at 1.2 GHz that supports both apps 32 64 -bit. Regarding the RAM, nothing moves, only 1GB of memory (DDR2) is soldered to the motherboard.

The radius graphics, this is a type of controller Dual Core VideoCore IV is to the bar (400 MHz 2D, 300MHz 3D). It supports OpenGL and Open VG standards, and is capable of decoding 1080p video streams at 30 frames / second (x264 supported). Finally, the connection is still made up of a network socket (10/100), HDMI video output (1.3 and 1.4) and a jack (3.5 mm) and 4 USB 2.0 ports. And food, in turn, rest assured by a microUSB jack.

The release and immediate availability of the Raspberry Pi 3 does not advertise provided the death of older versions. These continue to be marketed 25 (for 1) and $ 35 (for 2). Moreover, for connoisseurs and followers of these real PC, know that the British company is working on a new model A (Small Form A +) of RP3 and which should be released later in the year.

Astronomers identify first the origin of a “fast radio burst” – Maxisciences

‘); }

for the first time, researchers were able to reveal the source of a fast radio burst, an extremely rare cosmic and intense activity. According to their observations, it would come from a galaxy far far away.

That’s what exalt astronomers and amateur sky and space. For the first time, a team of researchers was able to identify the source of a fast radio burst. This cosmic activity, also known by the English name of “fast radio goals (FRB)”, is characterized by a wave radio flash of a few milliseconds.

FRB were identified for the first time in 2007 by a team of scientists led by Duncan Lorimerde the University of West Virginia, in the United States. According to them, these fleeting events are very intense and emit during their brief protest as much energy as the Sun over a period of 10,000 years.

An international alert to detect bursts

The problem is that these phenomena are fast, rare and generally identified years later. They are so long remained a mystery to scientists. Since their discovery, only 16 of these bursts were detected.

To increase the chance of identifying and trying to learn more about them, astrophysicists have created an international warning system the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia. This is triggered whenever such activity is recorded so that other telescopes can get to work.

The 17th of this kind has been discovered on April 18, 2015. Through this report, the astronomers were able to identify where the FRB from. Their findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature , indicate that it comes from a galaxy 6 billion light years from Earth.

A burst which challenges theories

Large of about 70,000 light-years, the galaxy has a mass equivalent to 100 billion stars the size of the sun. This discovery allows to question the assumptions made so far on the FRB. Indeed, the mass in question is of advanced age.

One factor that drives astronomers to rethink the theory that the bursts were emitted during the birth of a star. Instead he think these flashes may have been incurred during the merger of neutron stars, small stars but very dense mainly composed of neutrons.

“ This discovery opens the way to understanding what causes these flashes ,” said Simon Johnston CSIRO who participated in the study. Further observations should help confirm or not this assumption. The scientists also hope that advances will in the future, “ to find several FRB week .”

Smartphone – Always more storage – Clubic

Video: Soon, the maximum capacity of smartphones will be doubled to 256GB, with a new chip Samsung signed .

Although cloud storage is increasingly promoted by manufacturers and mobile operating systems, the storage capacity of a smartphone remains one of the major selection criteria for the consumer.

to achieve offer 256GB of capacity in the confined space imposed by the smartphone, Samsung uses its V-NAND technology, enabling design “3D” of the memory chip, as opposed to traditional chip say planar.

Samsung is however not yet fully satisfied with the profitability of this production, as demonstrated besides the return of traditional NAND in its latest SSD.

that’s why this chip 256GB should be, at least in its early days, used only in high-end smartphones

Samsung: a 256 GB chip to 850 MB / s for smartphones and tablets – DigitalVersus

Published February 26, 2016 5:05 p.m.

Samsung just introduced a chip 256GB destined to take place in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The maximum storage capacity of mobile devices is going to double, while the flow approaches more and more of those SSDs.
While most mobile device manufacturers use in memory running on an eMMC protocol, there is another protocol called UFS. Derived from the SCSI protocol, it allows in particular to obtain more memory to speed much higher than the eMMC type memories. It is thus subject to a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 1.2 GB / s UFS 2.0 against 600 MB / s eMMC 5.1. Caution, however, UFS 2.0 chips can run on one or two lines. On one line, the maximum is only 600 MB / s
Samsung produces such chips and now offers 256 GB model. – The maximum was far from 128GB all confused protocols. This chip uses V-NAND, that is to say, the memory cells stacked vertically so as to obtain a higher density. The rates are also very high since the Korean advance 850 MB / s sequential read, well above most SSD -. 2.5 models “peak at 500 MB / s Random access also remain a good standard – though lower than in the SSD. – speaking of 45,000 and 40,000 IOPS random read and write
Overall, these rates are two times higher than those of the chip embedded memory in Samsung Galaxy S6, for example. this uses a chip UFS 2.0, but running on a single line. a good omen for the future Galaxy S8 or any other high-end terminal which will be equipped.

Astronomers capture a “radio burst” from a distant galaxy – South West

P or the first time, astronomers were able to identify the source of a “quick start radio” cosmic phenomenon still mysterious . This very brief flash of radio waves spotted by telescopes came from a galaxy 6 billion light years from Earth, according to a study released Wednesday.

“quick bursts radio” their nickname FRB (Fast radio burst) were highlighted in 2007 by a team of scientists led by Duncan Lorimer, from data collected by an observatory.

as much energy as the Sun 10 000 years

in a millisecond, they emit as much energy as the Sun in 10 000 years.

It is very difficult to detect directly. This is what the Parkes radio telescope in Australia April 18, 2015, bringing to 17 the number of FRB identified to date.

captured live radio bursts by Gentside

The cause of the radio flashes is unknown and hypotheses abound.

“There are currently more ideas on the nature of the source of the FRB has identified that there FRB”

Duncan Lorimer

They may result from the neutron stars merge (tiny but very dense stars), says Evan Keane, senior author of the study published in the British journal Nature.

Aliens signals?

Other scientific even imagine extraterrestrial signals. What about him? “No, sorry,” answered Evan Keane, one of the architects of the International SKA radio telescopes network project.

When the Parkes radio telescope, which measures 64 meters in diameter, detect the FRB 150418, an international alert was given for other telescopes mobilize immediately.

Soon after, afterglow FRB are marked. They were followed for six days.

A telescope on Hawaii Island then establishes that the FRB comes from an elliptical galaxy at 6 billion light-years . A light year corresponds to 9461 billion kilometers.

the night of April 18, 2015 was stirred to astrophysicist Evan Keane: the middle of the night, his phone began to s’ shake in all directions. All his colleagues called him to tell him that the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia had detected a “fast radio burst,” or “fast radio burst” (FRB): “Evan, wake up! There was a FRB! “. He had to act quickly: “The goal was between the time when the wave hit the telescope and when we knew it no more months but either instantaneous,” says Evan Keane BBC .

Bingo, we found where does the radio burst

one can imagine Evan Keane and his colleagues to go throw their pajamas enable all optical telescopes in the corner. For all the mystery of these radio bursts was there: we had already saved – just 16 were recorded in the past – but we never had been able to determine the precise origin. This had evidently given way to more or less hazy theories up large text messages sent by aliens intergalactic phones equipped with …

But this time, astrophysicists have been rapid: within two hours after recording the start, the most powerful optical telescopes were pointed towards the sky. Bingo in the direction whence came the signal, they find that the galaxy has probably issued. “This is an event for the first time the host galaxy was probably identified within which this phenomenon occurred,” said Aurelien Barrau, a research professor at Subatomic Physics and Cosmology Laboratory (CNRS / Grenoble University Alps / Grenoble INP).

“Moving from oddity to science”

the culprit would be an elliptical galaxy 6 billion light years from Earth (one light year corresponds to 9.461 billion kilometers). This galaxy is off about 70,000 light years and its mass is equivalent to 100 billion stars the size of the Sun, says Evan Keane in the study published Wednesday in the journal Nature

“Knowing where does this radio burst to switch from the oddity of science: it is now no longer a mystery but a physical phenomenon that can be described,” s’ Aurélien Barrau enthusiasm.

But what has happened in this very very very distant galaxy to cause such a disturbance radio waves to billions of light years? Thereupon, there is no certainty. Several theories are circulating, but this time it is likely that one is dealing with a collision of neutron stars. “The signal lasted a short time, it was a brief burst, so that means that its source is likely to be very compact, which is the case of neutron stars,” said Aurelien Barrau.

this is currently the most credible hypothesis, but for astrophysicists is ultimately not the most important in this observation. “The scoop is less than the signal that it will be useful to probe some of the dark matter in the universe,” says Aurélien Barrau. Normal and dark matter, it is a sacred mystery. Its component made of conventional particles is about 5% of the energy that is our universe, 10 times more than the stars.

The recipe for cosmic soup

Our radio wave crossed this normal dark matter to get to us. And now we know the path it has taken, we will be able to calculate what has retained during the journey. “While strolling through intergalactic space, the radio burst was spread by electrons. By measuring the spreading of the signal, we come to measure the amount of a part of the dark matter that separates us from the source. We will thus be able to know the distribution and the nature of this dark matter, “says Aurélien Barrau.

With several radio bursts that are sure to be observed in the future, we could even establish a three-dimensional map this dark matter that is the main component of the universe. And learn about the recipe for the great cosmic soup in which we live

Microsoft displays advertising on the lock screen of Windows 10 – 01net.com

According to the site How-To Geek, some Windows 10 users were surprised to see appear an advertising image for the game Rise of the Tomb Raider during system startup. This publicity is generated by Customize function “ to a Windows ” (Windows Spotlight English) where the system itself chooses the photo to display on the lock screen. But this feature is accompanied by application recommendations, particularly the new games offered in the Windows Store.

Fortunately, these ads are deactivated rather easily. In Windows settings 10, the personalization icon will open the lock screen settings. It must then proceed in two steps: replace choice “Windows on a” per picture or slideshow. Then you have to think disable the “Customize the lock screen, especially with anecdotes and tips”

another solution is to eliminate advertising images in each case. Accessible icon at the top right of the screen to tell the system if the displayed image is part of his interests or not.

From the pub as the Start menu

This is not the first time that advertising appears in Windows 10. the Start menu was also a victim of the arrival of a line of “suggestion” with commercial ads, fortunately easy to remove with a single mouse click or right through the settings.

the ads are certainly bothersome but concern only Windows Store apps … for now

A transmission came from afar. For the first time, astronomers were able to identify the source of a “fast radio burst” cosmic phenomenon still very mysterious. This very brief flash of radio waves spotted by telescopes came from a galaxy 6 billion light years from Earth, according to a study published Wednesday

The “fast radio bursts”, their nickname FRB (Fast radio burst), were highlighted in 2007 by a team of scientists conducted by Duncan Lorimer, from data collected by an observatory. In a millisecond, they emit as much energy as the Sun 10,000 years.

Aliens signals?

It is extremely difficult to detect directly. This is what the Parkes radio telescope in Australia April 18, 2015, bringing to 17 the number of FRB identified to date. The cause of the radio flashes is unknown and assumptions are legion. “There are currently more ideas on the nature of the source of the FRB FRB there is” identified, reports Duncan Lorimer of the University of West Virginia, in the United States.

They could result from the merger of neutron stars (tiny but very dense stars, mainly composed of neutrons), says Evan Keane, senior author of the study published in the British journal Nature. Other scientists even imagine extraterrestrial signals, hypothesis that refutes it.

The equivalent of 100 billion stars the size of the Sun

A telescope located on the island Hawaii has shown that the FRB comes from an elliptical galaxy 6 billion light-years away (one light year corresponds to 9.461 billion kilometers). This galaxy is wide about 70,000 light years and its mass is equivalent to 100 billion stars the size of the Sun, says Evan Keane.

“This discovery opens the way to understanding what causes these flashes, “said Simon Johnston CSIRO, the Australian research organization that participated in the study. He hopes that in the future, “it will be possible to find several FRB week”.

The mystery of the “missing matter” in the universe

The experts also say that their research help answer the question of “missing matter” in the universe that intrigues scientists. Currently, it is accepted that the universe is 70% dark energy, 25% invisible and 5% ordinary matter dark matter (stars, planets, hydrogen).

” The space is not completely empty but its density is very low. We thought that there was the matter, but we had not been able to see before, “says Evan Keane.” As we have observed that it was delaying the signal FRB “, one can imagine that” we found missing matter “in the space between the galaxy and us.
