Another open source smartphone
27
Feb
The popular version of Linux, open source operating system, built in the 1990s by millions of hobbyists who joined Linus Torvalds, and created a crowdsourcing phenomenon, later a popular version is called Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is an African word meaning “being with others”, now also wants to launch its smartphone and compete in the very strong European and Chinese markets, this is what its director, Mark Shuttleworth, said to the CNET News.
The operating system is called Canonical, because of the company that maintains Ubuntu.
The celular phones will be manufactured by a partnership between the Meizu Chinese Company and the Bq Spanish Company, and will be available worldwide in the third quarter of this year.
The director says that the design will be attractive and that it is faster compared to the Firefox Operational System, its direct competitor in the open source market.
Among dreams, imagination and technology
13
Feb
Everything we want to dream, imagine and travel, even if at the cheap cost of the Web, seems to find skeptics, critics and fundamentalists warning us of the dangers.
But thankfully the planet continues to have utopian, dreamers and poets. I came across, these days, with one of these, simply a wonderful and unusual book of an Angolan writer, white and who as travelled a lot: José Eduardo Agualusa, I started flipping through the book and already ordered it online, but anxious and excited I asked a friend to get it in a library, for me.
It seems incredible, but like if it would be a divine light, I opened just in one page about his anthology “Catalogue of lights” that explained “Why is it so important to see stars”, I like to know about the stars, quantum physics and look to the sky, at night, from my house which is located on a dark street.
And Agualusa continues: “Having stopped to confront, every night, with the unlimited, the infinite, the awesome immensity of the universe – the men lost their humbleness, and with the humbleness they lost their reason, the madness of the world is, in her opinion, directly linked to the rural depopulation and the vertiginous multiplication of the big cities”.
Thanks! Dreamer, utopian and realistic José Eduardo Agualusa, dreamers give me courage, life and hope, excuse me the non- utopian, they are too bitter, the reality is hard enough.
Ontological resumption
28

The intentionality, a subcategory of medieval philosophy
defined within the statute of consciousness, was recovered by Franz Brentano to qualify it as being directed to something , or about something , for it is also important for psychology, which was used by Edmund Husserl, to say that consciousness is always intentional, directed to an object, real or imaginary.
These objects will be in the ontology of Husserl , among noemas between noesis and because they re-establish the relationship between subjects and objects .
Husserl called noema any representation of the object , and the apprehension of the object by the subject (consciousness) process, called Noesis.
For this reading of the phenomena “the essences obtained by imaginative variation from the noetic – noemáticas correlations of experiences and evidence seized with an intuition form the basis of regional ontologies or materials corresponding realms of being, nature, man, culture …” (Mafalda F. Blanc , Introduction to Ontology , pp . 26 ) .
Husserl will not only opposition to Kant , but also to ” extend the realm of the a priori formal plan of the object in general, obtained by abstraction of all material content” somehow incorporates the Kantian project of a critique of reason, ” establishing and determining the value of the concepts and laws of logic , ethics and axiology in the light of past structures of object categories.” (BLANC , pp. 26).
Husserl can enable it with the ontology , ” to conceive the most important of the senses of being in Aristotle – categorical – no longer as a logical form of judgment, but given as a gift, intuitive and fulfilling to see a properly immanent ” (p. 27)
Thus Husserl shows as real as having ” individuality , temporality and sheer determination , as opposed to the universality and timelessness of the ideal , discerning five irreducible strata : … the inorganic and the organic, psychic , and personal sphere of objective spirit (language, cultural tradition)” (pp. 26) .
The project will be even more orthodox Heidegger phenomenology as it will ” develop this conception of time as possible and be array itself , reversing the classical perspective of philosophy , he thought the time as the phenomenal manifestation of being ” (pp. 29) .
The Book Thief

Dec
I made the purpose of reading this book to a friend, housewife, who asked me who only read books 
“academic” and the result was surprising.
The beginning seemed to me that the story of Liesel Meminger although interestingly told by a friendly narrator , drew a morbid journey in which you insert a little thief of books , a fondness which Death to Liesel ‘s track from 1939 to 1943 .
Traits of a survivor are outlined : the Communist mother, persecuted by the Nazis , sends Liesel and her brother for the poor suburb of a German town where a couple is willing to adopt them for cash .
But the boy died on the way and is buried by a digger dropping a book in the snow , which will be the first of several that girl stealing over the years and this book will be the link to your family.
The adoptive father is a painter of wall debonair who teaches him to read , is Nazi period and many books are burned, but she steals the reading of the mayor or the city library.
This virtual – reality created around Hitler and the Second World War , the girl attends Death , with some perplexity of human violence , but manages to give a light and fun tone to the narrative in this harsh reality of lost childhood and the cruelty of the world war.
But the book has a curious dying and living , hence my inevitable connection to Heidegger and to the present day , with dark clouds hovering over the cultural and society .
Towards privacity in internet

Apparently , the big problem of the networks , preserving data privacy is becoming a possibility, something like putting in an “envelope ” and ensure that it is not open is being researched .
The work using quantum cryptography is being done by researchers from Cambridge University say they have achieved a breakthrough in quantum cryptography , using a system that can be encoded and then decoded safely , according to ” This is the first time that the commitment bit perfectly safe, using only the laws of physics and nothing else , has been demonstrated ” .
The tests were done using encrypted data between Geneva and Singapore , with data being kept ” perfectly safe ” around 15 milliseconds , using a protocol called ” bit – commitment.”
Such a system can be a first step towards information networks controlled by totally safe where ” the power of Einstein’s relativity combined gift quantum theory ” , according to the researchers would be a mathematical version of a securely sealed envelope .
The news came out in the online journal of Cambridge and was published in Physical Reviews Letters.
German Institute development Wifi 100 GB

According to Gizmodo , the German Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics ( IAF ) 
and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ( KIT ) have developed the world’s fastest Wifi , which exceeds 100 times the Google Fiber internet offering 1 Gbps ( gigabit 1 per second) but using fiber cables great for this.
According to the Institute it Wifi can transfer data at a rate of 100 GB per second without fiber optics, it is possible to transfer the entire contents of a Blu – ray , for example , in just two seconds , indicating a longer application.
Those responsible for the project also asserted that the speed of data transfer can be increased with the use of special optical and electrical techniques ( fiber optics and special cables ) , or with the use of multiple antennas for transmission and reception .
Gizmodo already has announced a super antenna using graphene .
The way things are going telephone signals in Brazil maybe this would be a solution
Critics rushed Technology

Critics of technology always show the same thing: 
the danger of the new look.
So with graphene, which is a novelty that has caught on and is being well with Google Glass, novelty that neither reached the market.
Not adopted 3D technology because it is still early and the latest news indicate that it did not fall in public taste, so decide in the crowd know what is new and what is just a novelty consumer.
A proof of this is that the British broadcaster BBC last week announced the suspension of all your problems in 3D, with a very simple reason: there is public.
A few weeks ago came the news that ESPN will close its 3D channel in the United States.
But these are not the only ones, we can enumerate: the Maps App Apple’s Ultrabook Vizio, Nokia Lumia 900, the payment system Google Wallet and Lytro Camera, not to mention the Microsoft Surface that have not yet spawned, all only in 2012.
The list is longer, but that is not what matters, what is important is that new developments that may fail or fail does not depend on “propaganda against” but popular taste.
The network, the internet and the Web

Were years of the Cold War, the ongoing tension between the communist world led by the Soviet Union and the capitalist world led by the U.S., and the first idea of the electronic network was not having a central command so that he could keep the links in the event of destruction of some points by a war between the two blocks in tension.
So the network should be mounted without a central command, a system in which all points (network nodes) had autonomy and where the data transmitted in any direction or order not to lose the contents, the project was outlined ARPAnet Paul Baran, designed by Agency Advanced Research Projects (Advanced Research Projects Agency) of the U.S. government.
But the network went out of military control in 1970 and crisscrossed four U.S. universities, but in the next 4 years the number grew to 40. The exchange of messages and files becomes possible, and universities launch several projects, among them, the Project Gutenberg Michael Hart with the publication of books, the University of Illinois in 1971.
That same year, it created the first commercial network in the U.S., Telenet, as an access service.
The name has been used only in Internet 1982. In 1983, Vinton Cerf and Khan create the network communication protocol, TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol), the common basis of instructions and codes used by all computers connected to the network today.
But the Web as an application protocol only arrived in 1991, with the hypertext system, prophesied by Ted Nelson years before, and now implemented by Tim Berners-Lee, came the Web, the World Wide Web
Thus the metaphor of the network becomes years later an electronic means of communication the internet, and in the 90s a mode of communication between billion person who is the Web
Social networks were only possible within this universe of hypertext with the Internet as a medium.
