After the sale created the AVOS, and in 2011 acquired Delicious.com, a service leader bookmarking.
Now, according to the website TechCrunch, the creators of YouTube has released a tool for video editing, focusing on the issue of médium and short videos, ranging from seconds to 68 minutes (plus 1 hour) for the creation of videos of médium size.
There are already other apps, going doVine and Instagram, informs the site, but the differential for these platforms is that while these instantly share something that happened a few seconds, the MixBit will be able to offer a more material worked, eg that speaks of na event, to be published later, as do publishers newscasts and documentaries, for example.
The idea is to insert in the films of other pieces to create your own movie, and also use the application to create a new film, as a native mobile application, in this case, up to 16 seconds to go in the end you put the pieces together and document some thing.
Assembly may be up to 256 files to make an original production, although it apart from other productions. The sharing option will also be available and may well fall into the social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and even MixBit).

According to the news that was widely publicized, it is
very simple information just by the mere affiliation of an analyst in a Web site, the program KeyScore news released by English newspaper The Guardian.
The XKeyscore is a program that covers “almost everything that a normal user does on the internet”, including the content of e-mails, pages viewed, and even what you are looking on the net.
Snowden received a temporary asylum in Russia as a “refugee”, according to the Interfax agency, according to his lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said yesterday: “I just give him the documents of the Federal Migration Service of Russia.”
The program Xkeyscore allows analysts to search the metadata and content of e-mails and almost all activities on the Internet, having a browser history, even when there is no e-mail account name (one “switch” in the jargon NSA) associated with the individual who is the subject of the breach of privacy.

Instagram is causing envy and depresses

The survey is the author Jessica Winter, and was published in Slate, in U.S.A., 
where she exhibited her arguments in a work done in collaboration Humboldt University, Berlin, in research that relates Social Networks and envy.
The conclusion is very striking, according to Jessica people get depressed to see the success of others, whether they are friends or acquaintances.
The first reason is that the photos are the envy at seeing the success or happiness in photographs of people known because most of the time the photos illustrate success, wealth or movements of some wonderful people.
Looking at pictures of other people, even if not known, feel more unhappy when they see people who have a wonderful life and compared them.
The researcher Hanna Krasnova, Humboldt University, Berlin, says that there is a “spiral of envy,” she says “There are signs more explicit than implicit to see that a person is happy, rich and successful in a picture [is more influential] than from a status update, “because” a picture can result in immediate social comparison, and it can trigger feelings of inferiority. You do not envy the news, “says Hanna.
Of course this is favored by a competitive society and whose value is the status.
Crowdsourcing and knowledge models

Crowdsourcing is increasingly helping to channel the collective knowledge 
of the scientific community to find solutions to significant challenges in medicine and other fields, the collective models are more successful in the polls.
Sage Bionetworks and Dialogue for Reverse Engineering Assessments and Methods (DREAM) are hosting free software, changes in big data computing, top changes in statistical thinking, learning machines, and discoveries in computational biology, new predictive models of disease, appear The Scientist.
Teams compete with each other, but the competitions also encourage collaboration needed to respond to emerging biological
issues, according to Stephen Friend, founder of Sage Bionetworks: “The Meshing of these data with clinical outcomes for the development of indicators of what is likely to respond to therapy or who is likely to have an aggressive disease is a problem that needs to boldly great work and ideas of each other. ”
The model of scientific work using crowdsourcing, adapted the model collective and collaborative science to the use of an “overly intellectual” available in the crowd.

In his sites said: “Globalization is a consequence of the increasingly rapid world-wide transmission of information. Global Studies Informatics, Media, and Communications (GTS) research explore new information technologies; dissemination of public and private information using new forms of media and social communication networks; governmental policies; and social and political and security impacts”.

New technology in photografics

The inventor used a sensor based on graphene, Qijie Wang is an assistant professor in the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of NTU (Nanyang Technological University), believed to be the first time a type sensor is developed with pure graphene, the news is the Phys.org.
“While designing this sensor, we have kept current manufacturing practices in mind. This means the industry can in principle continue producing camera sensors using the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) process, which is the prevailing technology used by the majority of factories in the electronics industry. Therefore manufacturers can easily replace the current base material of photo sensors with our new nano-structured graphene material.”
The new sensor promises to leave photos taken in dark environments much sharper, because the material is a thousand times more sensitive to light than those used in current cameras while consuming less energy.
