Scientists theorize what will happen when they watch supermassive black holes colliding


Scientists believe collision of two supermassive black holes at the center of the two galaxies, and the results could be amazing.
Black holes may take in gases and particles accelerated so that a quasar product with such speed. A quasar is a light mass. By particle radiation acceleration Scientists have recently observed a Quasar distance, and I think it will come from two black holes collide.

"The final stages of the merger of the supermassive black hole systems are poorly understood," said the first author of the study, Matthew Graham, a senior computer scientist at the California Institute of Technology. "The discovery of a system that seems to be at this advanced stage of development, we now have a handle on the observation of what is happening. "

Scientists believe that the conflict could lead to release energy, which have the power to 100 million supernova explosions. This powerful energy release could bend the fabric of space-time. That said, estimates say when the full collision between black holes happen, it will not happen for at least one million years.

Despite the questions about the event, which means both to stage big budget in technology companies unveiled its own, CES still attracts a huge amount.

"It's always the most important in the calendar on the broader technology landscape event," said Ben Keen IHS technology consultant who thinks that he will visit the 20th time.

"In ancient times, it was well on the property of the so-called brown - .. Everything on the TV and related technologies But now it is quite amazing how many sectors converge"

Ukraine blames Russia for German hack

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk not hold back when asked about the recent hack attack

Prime Minister of Ukraine made the Russian intelligence responsible for a hack attack against the German government websites.

A pro-Russian group claimed responsibility, but this is the first proposal that supported by the Russian government.

Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk made the remarks during a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

But one expert questioned what real evidence, it was for the claims.

CyberBerkut

The attack sites for Ms. Merkel and the German Bundestag targeted. Both sites were inaccessible from Wednesday, 10:00 clock until evening.

A group that says CyberBerkut behind her. Referring now dissolved Berkut of elite police force to beat Ukraine, torture and protesters were charged with shooting.

Before meeting with Merkel Mr. Yatsenyuk asked on German television reporter if the pro-Russian hackers Ukraine were responsible.

"I recommend that the secret pocket money service stop the Russian taxpayer for cyber attacks against the Bundestag and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the office," he said.

  Reasonable doubt?

Tit-for-tat accusations of cyber attacks are becoming more common, although it is very difficult to locate where an attack originated.

"It is interesting that the countries against each other for the debt of cyber attacks, even if the information they put the public often does not justify their claims," said security expert Prof Alan Woodward in BBC.

He said he would have thought the government would certainly "beyond reasonable doubt" before these serious allegations.

"The international community seems very quickly to each other on a balance of probabilities, that does not seem enough to blame me," he said.

This week, the FBI added more accustomed to his theory that North Korea behind the Sony Pictures hack in November, reiterating that the IP addresses have been linked to the attack by the mysterious nation.

Prof Woodward asked FBI claims.

"None of these addresses were actually in North Korea. They were in Singapore, Taiwan and all over the place. "

He thinks that cybercrime is becoming more a part of the political agenda.

"It is interesting to note that all the rhetoric seems to countries that have existing tensions come. They are special cyber-attacks for political points."

German intelligence officials said they meet around 3,000 cyber attacks every day. About five of them are foreign intelligence, the chief of the German secret service, said recently.

Netflix: VPN crackdown claims 'false', says executive

Netflix has been accused of leading a crackdown against VPN to appease the anger Studios

Netflix has criticized "false" it was reported crack down on clients with a workaround to watch blocked in their media of the region.

The company has denied reports that she had stepped block their attempts to access virtual private networks (VPN).

Netflix said its policy against the use of VPN to geographic barriers to bypass content remained unchanged.

But he says his service work still some VPNs.

"The claims that we change our VPN bad policy," said Netflix Chief Executive Officer Neil Hunt product.

At the Consumer Electronics Show this year (CES) in Las Vegas, he said. "People who are using a VPN, our service will be out of the area he still works as it always has done"

He was speaking in response to widespread allegations according to which popular media streaming company had unhappy uses a VPN clients repression at the request of the studio started in their license agreements ignored.

They followed complaints from Netflix users on Reddit, who no longer work their normal VPN configurations.

Netflix said it regularly to block the technical solutions "industry standard", but it was not made any special effort to more of them than the usual block.

'Failsafe'

 According to Cnet, Mr Hunt said that the company has added to its Android application a "fail-safe" to users who help their reliable DNS provider.

"It is not intended to steer people away from the VPN, it is intended to make the application more robust if you do not have your own DNS provider," he said.

"The reality is that we experienced in our contracts VPN content Blacklist - .. Foxtel, for example, a house of cards in Australia, making them one way we are blocking but we will not change our policy remains the same was. "

BBC examine its remarks with Netflix, adding: "Explain our Terms of Use that you do not exceed the limits as well as because of content licensing systems can."

Netflix believes that the end of the traditional system, are among the movies and television for the sold sorted by geographic region.

To ensure that the scope of this license are met, the blocks must be installed. For example, hardware products such as DVD players have been designed to be designated by the same media-compatible geographic region.

But, as these forms began studios increasingly rely heavily on geographic blocks using the client IP address.

, VPN, however, make the user sees in the country they want to help as a barrier.

The recurring Facebook privacy hoax


Since the beginning of the year, there has been a resurgence of political display of copyright / privacy on Facebook. They are based on a hoax two years. Why did they come back, asks Gareth Rubin.

"In response to new policies Facebook I declare that my copyright on all my personal data, graphics, cartoons, pictures, photos and professional videos, etc. attached (following the Bern Convention ). "

Or a variation - - Have you seen this status recently posted to your Facebook profile friends? If this is a hoax that was the round has decreased since 2012 and will not die, no matter how many times it is exposed.

The report shows that Facebook is planning to package and sell photos and videos of users. In response, thousands of members of the social media giant has reclassified the state above or a variant. But it is absurd. Facebook is not the content of the user's owner of the copyright has the exclusive right to distribute - which is the whole point of the site.

And there's nothing like the Berne Convention - there is a Berne Convention and protects the copyright. Some of the posts instead of mentioning the Rome Convention.

Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes, said that in the original conditions, the company has the right to share content and distribute it. But if you want, you can change this in your privacy settings. "We wanted to take a moment to remember the facts -. If you post things like photos on Facebook, we do not have "

"You must take no notice of these bodies, nothing to do," says Marie Brewis, editor of PC Advisor. "It does not matter what you put in your profile, you have already signed up for Facebook and conditions if Facebook would change its terms, it would be to tell people. "

But people continue to take notice. "It's one of the things on social media - people see his friends talking about something and think it must be true," said Brewis. "And everyone wants one who is in the know and share something before everyone.

"People think that Facebook and Google suck all their personal information, so that people who got nothing to hide and were quite worried. These conditions can be very difficult to get your head around. Most people do not read the terms in particular, if they can not do anything in it, we select "OK", said simply. "

You can not retroactively authorized you get facebook if you cancel an account. The only way to prevent the company to share and distribute your content to deactivate your account completely.

Dr. Maria Michalis University of Westminster Centre for Media Social Research, said: "It's one of the things on social media - if you see a friend has anything to go tend to believe that he writes So Stories viral and they can not be stopped .. that's why we continue to see this hoax for years. "

In response to the Proposals, many people on Twitter and Facebook even said that the best thing about this announcement is that it told them who their friends gullible enough to fall for a hoax, is old year .

Bill Gates drinks water distilled from human faeces

The Microsoft founder said the water "tasted as good as any I've had out of a bottle"

Bill Gates has a glass of water produced from human excreta technology which he was drunk to present in developing countries clean water available.

Microsoft founder said he, after the send processing factories tests around the world wanted to start this year.

The project was supported by WaterAid, who said he was pleased to help especially in urban areas.

According to the charity, some 748 million people worldwide lack safe water.

In a video posted on his blog, Gates saw that human waste was introduced the final product of the glass in the processor before drinking.

                                                          'Sewer sludge'

"The water had a taste as good as any I have had the bottle. And for engineering studies behind, I would drink a day. It's so safe," he wrote in the blog.

In the video, the developer of the system Omniprocessor, Peter Janicki said the "sludge" crude is first boiled with vapor separated solid water.

These solids are then erase them in a fire, producing steam that drives a motor to generate energy for the system processor and the local community.

The water is subjected to a purification system for the production of drinking water.

"Why would anyone waste to turn it into drinking water and electricity?" Question Gates.

The answer, he says, because "diseases caused by poor sanitation kills about 700,000 children each year, and they avoid many fully develop mentally and physically."

He added: "If we realize to develop affordable way to dispose of human waste, we can prevent most of these deaths and more children grow up healthy."

                                                       Sustainable services

According to a report published by the World Health Organization and UNICEF in 2013, data from two years ago showed that 2.5 billion people lack world "Improved sanitation".

Figures WaterAid suggest that the number of people worldwide who lack access to safe drinking water dropped by nearly 20 million since.

The charity said the technology "are primarily benefit those who already have access to sanitation, not like the others."

"If the technology can be rolled on a scale that makes it viable for small investors or contractors, then this could be a catalyst for change in the plumbing landscape in urban areas of developing countries," said technical plumbing Support Manager Ada Oko -Williams,

WaterAid, said the introduction of this type of system could "facilitate the need to complete the sanitary cycle, through the creation of a market for the creation of sustainable services for the safe collection, transport, treatment , disposal and recycling is human waste. "

                                                             'Seed money'

Gates said the driver was going Omniprocessor in Senegal before the end of this year and hopes to soon after the filing of working plants in India and other countries begin.

"If we do it, is a good example of how philanthropy can start up capital, smart people on major issues to work or to create an independent industry attracts offer.

"Our goal is to fairly cheap processors that entrepreneurs will invest in themselves low and middle income, and start profitable waste management companies want to do."

But he acknowledged that "the history of philanthropy is well intentioned inventions ever to deliver his promise that covered," and added that he hoped the plan would be carried out on the project Omniprocessor mean they have this list not Sign.

The project was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
