In 2009, the 15-year-old Pennsylvania School Girl Marissa Miller does not expect to be involved in a very strange case. Prosecutors accused George Miller sent nude photos to others through their mobile phone , and give her two paths: either to accept 10-hour pornography and sexual crimes on legal education courses, or face criminal charges.
Now something like Marissa that is completely avoided.
Apple received a patent for technology that allows it to read text messages before they're sent and censor or block them as needed. TechCrunch immediately described this as a patent on an "anti-sexting device" -- because the surest path to getting big Web traffic is to put the word "sexting" in a headline (you clicked on this story, didn't you?), despite the fact that "sexting" appears nowhere in the patent documents posted online. That was enough to incite the usual blogger stampede.
"In media-player applications, when a user makes a particular type of contact (e.g., three- or four-finger contact), a graphical object appears on the display surface at or near the point of contact," the patent reads. "The user can then adjust a parameter (e.g., volume, radio tuner, equalization) of a song or other audio source by making a twisting motion."
The patent was first applied for in December 2006, before the launch of the first iPhone, and credits Bas Ording, Scott Forstall, Greg Christie, Stephen Lemay and Imran Chaudhri as the inventors. It also covers the manipulation of options by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure applied at the contact location. "In media-player applications, when a user makes contact with the display surface, a graphical object of a radio interface can be displayed," the patent reads.
"These techniques also may be used, in accordance with instructional embodiments, to require the administered devices to include certain text in messages," the patent adds. "These embodiments might, for example, require that a certain number of Spanish words per day be included in e-mails for a child learning Spanish."
U.S. law does not prohibit adult sexual content, related network and mobile software technology necessary to build a strong "firewall" between adults and minors. Finally, there is a clear social responsibility.

New high-tech product Tablet PC made in China
Tablet PC With the rise of mobile Internet has become increasingly hot, which is reflected in this year's CommunicAsia. Terminal manufacturers only show new phones in the past. The addition of telecommunications exhibition this year out of a class of products, it is Tablet PC. I believe that the Tablet PC market will usher in a competition, even though the short term the market will not be as competitive as mobile phones, but this marks a new product, new market start.
ZTE, a publicly-owned, Chinese corporation that designs and manufactures telecommunications equipment and systems, claimed that ZTE Light is more portable, easy-to-use and internet friendly tablet PC, which provides brand new experience to entertainment and internet access. The 3G ready ZTE Light has 3 megapixel camera and memory card slot for the extension upto 32 GB.
ZTE Light offers GPS navigation, music and video player with Mp4 support, and WiFi. It also supports voice calling on dual band UMTS 2100 MHZ/900 MHZ and internet access on HSUPA network with a download speed of up to 7.2 Mbps and an upload speed of up to 5.76 Mbps.
ZTE plans to sell the tablet through retail channels as well as in partnerships with telecom operators. All of the devices will carry the ZTE brand, but some may be co-branded with mobile operators, the company said.
So far the bulk of ZTE’s revenues come from the sale of telecom infrastructure equipment such as routers. But its shipments of handsets and other mobile devices are growing fast, and the company has said it aims to expand this segment to match revenues from the network gear segment.
Industry analysts have said that in the next 3-5 years, China's Tablet PC will be a sustained and rapid development stage. Before 2014, the rapid development of tablet PCs, Tablet PCs are in the Chinese market has a huge user base.

The apple promotes the Mac application procedure store
The apple has held named “Back to the Mac” the release conference on Base company Wednesday. Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced at the meeting that will promote is suitable in the Mac platform application procedure store three months later, using the platform will experience iOS to transplant to the Mac tabletop carries.
As opposed to Apple’s recent raft of iOS-based announcements, this one will mostly be about Mac OS 10.7. The new version of OS X will apparently be referred to as “Lion” if the not-so-subtle image on the invitation is any indication.
And what’s with the use of “Back to the Mac” anyway? Is Apple just being cute or is it a not-so-subtle hint that MobileMe’s “Back to my Mac” remote-access technology could be getting an upgrade?
CrunchGear’s got a good rundown of the current Apple hardware rumors, including touch-based iMacs and MacBooks, a revved MacBook Air and CPU/GPU bumps including the Nvidia Optimus. While we probably won’t see a new iPhone, iPod or iPad next Wednesday, that doesn’t mean that we won’t see iOS at the event.
I love Devin Coldeway’s theory that iOS could find its way into Mac OS X in the form of an iOS dashboard replacing the current (and disastrously unusable) Dashboard. It would be a great way for Apple to capitalize on the success of the App Store and begin to converge the two platforms.
While the announcement of an updated version of Mac OS X might not seem exciting initially, the prospect of touch-based Macs iOS integration should pique the interest of developers and users alike.
You’re the CEO: how would you converge OS X and iOS?

Windows 8 system will be listed in two years
Microsoft said on own Dutch website's blog that Windows 8 system will be listed in two years.Microsoft is developing the next version of Windows, but this windows 8 needs to launch about two years. The comments, noted earlier Sunday by Winrumors.com at the end of celebrating the launch of Windows 7's blog. In its U.S. site last week, Microsoft also published a blog to celebrate a milestone in that, but did not mention the release date of Windows 8.
In response, Microsoft representatives declined to comment,also has not described in this blog.
Indeed, Microsoft executives from Windows unit President Steven Sinofsky on down have been hesitant to say anything about the company's future Windows plans.But last year, Microsoft's server group has said it will conduct a major release of Windows Server in 2012 and server versions typically slightly lag a desktop release.
Leaked documents show that in June this year, the next version of Windows will include an application store similar to Apple and other mobile device manufacturers to provide on-line store. Apple announced this week that it will bring an app store to the Mac within 90 days.document also shows that Microsoft wants to shorten the startup time and the time it takes to resume from sleep, as well as work more closely with computer makers to better differentiate their respective computers.
Current news about Windows 8 is not too much, Steve Ballmer has hinted that Windows 8 may add tablet pc version. Earlier this year a development plan leaked display, Windows 8 will include a Windows app store, use IE9 browser, a key to restore the system, facial recognition login, shorten the startup time and so on.

HP's Slate tablet pc was published for $799
Whether HP's Slate tablet pc was published has been a riddle when mentions for the first time after Windows 7 released conferences at the October, 2009. Today, Hewlett-Packard has released its Windows 7 Slate computer before the end of the year.
Hewlett-Packard's $799 device called Slate 500 attempts to replicate the PC experience in tablet form - in contrast to rivals who've brought more of a smart phone feel to their devices. The Slate runs the same version of Windows 7 used by many companies on their standard PCs.
The Slate 500 is based on Intel's Z540 Atom processor, which runs at 1.86 gigahertz, and has up to 2 gigabytes of DDR2 RAM. For storage it uses flash memory units with up to 64 gigabytes of storage.
It's built around an 8.9-inch diagonal multitouch screen and has 802.11 b, g and n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0. The device weighs 1.5 pounds and is 0.58 inches thick. It's overall case is 9.2 by 5.9 inches.
So how will the HP Slate 500 stack up? Over at zicocn,james abe says the HP Slate 500 doesn't stack up, and that's the point – the HP Slate 500 is an entirely different type of device. "The Slate is running the same operating system as your desktop PC and laptop, assuming you're a Windows 7 user," Elgan writes. "It's running components designed for PCs, including 8 times the amount of RAM that's in an iPad. It runs PC applications unmodified."
HP said this Slate 500 "for rarely work in the traditional desktop computer, but need to be in a safe, familiar to professionals working in the Windows environment, it is a perfect PC."

Google's new technology allows automatic driving vehicle
Google announced the company apart in the normal business operations, is also developing the technology allows automatic driving vehicle. The company said in a blog, using this technology can reduce by half the number of deaths due to traffic accidents worldwide each year about 60 million lives saved. At the same time Google also hopes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Two recent announcements have made self-driving cars seem a lot closer to reality. The first comes from the Army, which is now using self-driving vehicles to guard a large military facility and nuclear waste dump in Nevada. And then there's Google, which recently announced that it has developed self-driving cars that have logged over 100,000 miles on real roads in real traffic.
What is going on inside these cars to make it possible for them to drive themselves? Let's take a look.
You could, in theory, turn any car into a self-driving car. The first thing you would have to do is make it possible for a computer to control the car. This is not quite as easy as it sounds, but it is relatively straightforward. The computer needs to be able to turn the steering wheel, push the accelerator and brake pedals, move the gear shift control and start the engine.
These tasks, at least in experimental self-driving cars, are often accomplished with motors. A motor is mounted so it can turn the existing steering wheel. Another motor is able to put pressure on the accelerator and brake pedals. And so on. It is not a particularly elegant solution, but it gets the job done. As production cars become more advanced, drive-by-wire systems are becoming more common. In cars with drive-by-wire, a computer can hook directly into the existing control systems.
The next thing that a self-driving car needs is sensors, and here things get pretty complicated today. A human being drives a car by using his or her eyes as the sole sensor. The human visual system is amazing in this regard, because it is able to accurately judge the presence of obstacles, their distance, their relative size based on distance, their speed, etc. A human being also recognizes what he is seeing. If a human being sees a fence, she can accurately predict with high certainty that it will not jump into the middle of the road. On the other hand, a child playing with a ball on a sidewalk is a different story.
Computer vision systems are nowhere near this point in their development. So they rely on extra sensors to provide more information. Self-driving cars do have camera-based vision systems that they use to see other cars, unexpected obstacles, road markings and signs. But in addition, self-driving cars almost always have GPS sensors so that they have a better idea of exactly where they are and where they are pointing. They also have LADAR systems — laser scanners that can look for nearby objects and accurately judge their distance. They may have RADAR systems as well. They may also have infrared sensors to improve night vision.
These sensors all feed into a powerful onboard computer (often multiple computers) that process all the data that the sensors are gathering. The internal computer will have access to a database of maps and other relevant information. For example, engineers may pre-drive a route and pre-catalog all signs, road markings, curbs, crosswalks, traffic lights, etc. that the self-driving car will encounter along the road. This way, the car knows what to expect and can plan accordingly. Finally, the onboard computer may also be communicating by radio with bigger computers holding even more data.

Windows Phone 7 is the last hope for Microsoft
Many people say that Windows Phone 7 is the last hope of Microsoft in the smartphone market, indeed, it is vital time for Microsoft. Although the smart phone market is fiercely competitive, but Microsoft is no other choice. Microsoft's main concern is their own economic interests, but also those who like HTC, ihkc that old cell phone manufacturers also want to see other companies compete with each other. So what kind of advantages of Microsoft's new mobile operating system Windows Phone 7 in the end?
The world's largest software company is hoping that the new phones, from handset makers Samsung, LG, HTC and Dell, will propel it back into the mobile market, which many see as the key to the future of computing, reports the Daily Mail.
The new phones, initially available on the T-Mobile network in Britain and on AT&T in the US, are much closer in look and feel to Apple's iPhone , with colourful touch-screens and 'tiles' for easy access to email, the Web, music and other applications.
Ballmer, who has admitted that his company 'missed a generation' with its recent unpopular phone offerings, said the new phones would eventually be available from 60 mobile operators in 30 countries.
Meanwhile, at a simultaneous launch event at London's Institute Of Contemporary Arts (ICA), Microsoft announced that WP7 will be coming on the Dell Venue Pro by Christmas.
Dell's Venue Pro will join five other WP7 handsets - three from HTC and one each from LG and Samsung - in the British market in the coming months.
In the US, the first phone from AT&T, priced at $200, will be available Nov 8.
Six Windows Phone 7 handsets will be released in Britain in the coming months, including three from HTC and the Dell Venue Pro, which is the only model to come with a slide-out keyboard
Microsoft has a market share of only five percent in the global smartphone market, according to research firm Gartner, compared with nine percent a year ago.

Samsung Tablet PC
Samsung Tablet PC Galaxy Tab technical details have been revealed, but its pricing and release time is still not resolved the two key issues. U.S. network operator T-Mobile's unofficial blog Tmonews on Sunday revealed the details of this release tablet.
The Galaxy Tab, with its 7-inch display, but a smaller surface than the competition from Apple, but the memory SD card up to 64GB of expandable by.
This offers the Samsung all-rounder a 3.2-megapixel camera – the iPad users are still waiting in vain for this extra. Highlight: The video call feature with an additional 1.3-megapixel camera! Again, the iPad) do not keep up (.
About the Android smartphone operating system are all the apps as well as in normal available.
Great advantage of the Galaxy Tab also: the handy design. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is not much bigger than an outstretched hand, fits in any pocket. And with 380 grams almost half as light as the U.S. bestseller.
Even e-books look good on the tab from right, Bluetooth, music can be transferred. Important for users to the Internet and share the Samsung supports Flash – Apple’s archenemy.
O2 Galaxy tab from the end of October depending on the tariff rates from 99 EURO to 759 EURO one-time payment or for the offer.
These then are still costs for data volume and any flat rates. Early reports is Tablet PC on the market cost of at least 640 EURO.

Wal-Mart will sell Apple iPad tablet PC
Wal-Mart will sell Apple iPad tablet PC in hundreds of stores on October 15, and to expand sales outlets to over 2,300 stores in mid-November, the cheaper models start at 499 dollars. Integrated media reported on Oct. 13, Wal-Mart Stores Inc will begin selling Apple's iPad tablet on Oct. 15. Wal-Mart said the first time sale iPad tablet pcs in hundreds of stores, and then will be expanded to more than 2,300 sales outlets stores in mid-November.
A distribution deal with Walmart adds significantly to the iPad’s retail availability over the holidays: the device is now on sale via Amazon.com, and recently appeared at discount retailer target. The iPad has been on sale at electronics retailer Best Buy since its launch earlier this year.
Walmart is known for bringing products to customers at discounted prices, but it looks like its pricing on the iPad is going to match pricing available from Apple and it’s other retail partners: the Wi-Fi, 16 GB model will be available for $499. So far, only Target has been able to set up a discount, with owners of Target credit cards being able to get a 5 percent discount on an iPad. Walmart will be offering the iPad through its site-to-store service, however, which offers free shipping of online orders sent to a local Walmart store for pickup.
Apple’s ability to move the iPad into major retail channels this holiday season may be key to the device maintaining its lead current in the tablet computing arena. A slew of Android tablets—debatably led by the Samsung Galaxy Tab —are getting ready to land at retailers.

You could, in theory, turn any car into a self-driving car. The first thing you would have to do is make it possible for a computer to control the car. This is not quite as easy as it sounds, but it is relatively straightforward. The computer needs to be able to turn the steering wheel, push the accelerator and brake pedals, move the gear shift control and start the engine.
These tasks, at least in experimental self-driving cars, are often accomplished with motors. A motor is mounted so it can turn the existing steering wheel. Another motor is able to put pressure on the accelerator and brake pedals. And so on. It is not a particularly elegant solution, but it gets the job done. As production cars become more advanced, drive-by-wire systems are becoming more common. In cars with drive-by-wire, a computer can hook directly into the existing control systems.
The next thing that a self-driving car needs is sensors, and here things get pretty complicated today. A human being drives a car by using his or her eyes as the sole sensor. The human visual system is amazing in this regard, because it is able to accurately judge the presence of obstacles, their distance, their relative size based on distance, their speed, etc. A human being also recognizes what he is seeing. If a human being sees a fence, she can accurately predict with high certainty that it will not jump into the middle of the road. On the other hand, a child playing with a ball on a sidewalk is a different story.
Computer vision systems are nowhere near this point in their development. So they rely on extra sensors to provide more information. Self-driving cars do have camera-based vision systems that they use to see other cars, unexpected obstacles, road markings and signs. But in addition, self-driving cars almost always have GPS sensors so that they have a better idea of exactly where they are and where they are pointing. They also have LADAR systems — laser scanners that can look for nearby objects and accurately judge their distance. They may have RADAR systems as well. They may also have infrared sensors to improve night vision.
These sensors all feed into a powerful onboard computer (often multiple computers) that process all the data that the sensors are gathering. The internal computer will have access to a database of maps and other relevant information. For example, engineers may pre-drive a route and pre-catalog all signs, road markings, curbs, crosswalks, traffic lights, etc. that the self-driving car will encounter along the road. This way, the car knows what to expect and can plan accordingly. Finally, the onboard computer may also be communicating by radio with bigger computers holding even more data.
Two recent announcements have made self-driving cars seem a lot closer to reality. The first comes from the Army, which is now using self-driving vehicles to guard a large military facility and nuclear waste dump in Nevada. And then there's Google, which recently announced that it has developed self-driving cars that have logged over 100,000 miles on real roads in real traffic.

Windows Phone 7
Many people say that Windows Phone 7 is the last hope of Microsoft in the smartphone market, indeed, it is vital time for Microsoft. Although the smart phone market is fiercely competitive, but Microsoft is no other choice. Microsoft's main concern is their own economic interests, but also those who like HTC, ihkc that old cell phone manufacturers also want to see other companies compete with each other. So what kind of advantages of Microsoft's new mobile operating system Windows Phone 7 in the end?
The world's largest software company is hoping that the new phones, from handset makers Samsung, LG, HTC and Dell, will propel it back into the mobile market, which many see as the key to the future of computing, reports the Daily Mail.
The new phones, initially available on the T-Mobile network in Britain and on AT&T in the US, are much closer in look and feel to Apple's iPhone , with colourful touch-screens and 'tiles' for easy access to email, the Web, music and other applications.
Ballmer, who has admitted that his company 'missed a generation' with its recent unpopular phone offerings, said the new phones would eventually be available from 60 mobile operators in 30 countries.
Meanwhile, at a simultaneous launch event at London's Institute Of Contemporary Arts (ICA), Microsoft announced that WP7 will be coming on the Dell Venue Pro by Christmas.
Dell's Venue Pro will join five other WP7 handsets - three from HTC and one each from LG and Samsung - in the British market in the coming months.
In the US, the first phone from AT&T, priced at $200, will be available Nov 8.
Six Windows Phone 7 handsets will be released in Britain in the coming months, including three from HTC and the Dell Venue Pro, which is the only model to come with a slide-out keyboard
Microsoft has a market share of only five percent in the global smartphone market, according to research firm Gartner, compared with nine percent a year ago.

change your habit to prevent 'toasted skin syndrome'
Do you often worked with laptop on the your lap,if you know use laptop on your laps can sause"tosated skin syndrome".
Doing it a lot can lead to "toasted skin syndrome", an unusual-looking mottled skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure, according to medical reports.
In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy developed a sponge-patterned skin discolouration on his left thigh after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months.

"He recognised that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, regardless of that, he did not change its position," Swiss researchers reported in an article published today in the journal Pediatrics.
Another case involved a Virginia law student who sought treatment for the mottled discolouration on her leg.
Dr Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, was stumped until she learnt the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer propped on her lap. The temperature underneath registered 51 degrees.
It's generally harmless but can cause permanent skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel.
