Berners – Lee supports DRM to html5

07 Oct

One of the strengths of Web formats is also becoming a standard for textual formats , the html5 , drmHTML5however to be a free format could be difficult to control the DRM ( Rights of copies ), but Tim Berners – Lee said that this can be controlled .

The news came out in Zdnet thus proposed extensions to encrypted media ( EME , Encrypted Media Extensions ) will be placed in the next HTML extensions due to criticism from various groups and activists on digital rights .
Earlier this year , 27 organizations , including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Free Software Foundation , considered the proposed specification above as “disastrous ” by claiming they would change HTML to encourage the use of DRM .

According to the CEO of the group : ” We do not walk to standardize DRM systems owners , but on the other hand we do not want it to be deleted from the Web platform .”

EME have a hook for audio , video and other content within the HTML , providing support for digital rights management within the HTML which would prevent unauthorized copies , for example, movie studios and musicians , and could even automatically remove Web content
The EME specification describes an application programming interface ( API ) that interact with a DRM-protected file as the media used , and a first version of an editor was published by the working group to draft a HTML editor , but not yet approved by the W3C consortium .

To facilitate the group is : ” a commitment to a set of open APIs that provide a standard framework to bring this content via plug -in , but does not wish to standardize the plug -in ” , so that the structure remains open to developers .

The idea is good because it gives the option to open a Web preserve the copyright, in what is most basic to the web is the new standard html5 .

 

Response to spy might be wrong

05 Oct

The idea of forcing Internet companies to store user data within Brasil is mistaken as to the concernsWebBrasil of cyber security in Brazil, as well as increase costs and undermine future investments, may cause further uncertainty to the data and the privacy of individuals, as it being here can also be manipulated.

In the case of investments, it is important to recognize that there is an emerging market related to Google, Facebook and Twitter, say analysts and industry executives.

The teacher Ronaldo Lemos (State University of Rio de Janeiro-UERJ), which helped create the laws of internet in the country, said “may end up having the opposite effect than intended, and scare off companies wanting to do business in Brazil,” as the news portal Terra.

Already the rapporteur of the law of the Internet in Brazil, the Marco Civil, Mr PT Alessandro Molon (RJ), said the number of affected companies could be counted “on both hands.”

The modern networking technology, cloud computing depend on both in terms of technology as in investment values ​​of international participation, and confinement in the country will result in costs and shrink the investment markets international investments to be made in the country.

But more serious is that besides not allow control data, may also be used politically depending on whose hands fall control of our “network”.

The markets today are international, and border closures could mean delay.

There are ways to control encrypting messages, and controlling flows regardless of where the data are, in fact this is the internet.

 

The new version of iOS7

21 Sep

Announced in June this year, the new version of iOS7 is available from 18/09.iOS7

The output of the vice president of Apple, Scott Forstall, the man going to design Jony Yve, in my view the great play of devices Appel, being the most significant change indicates that this new version, the design, already criticized by some as very childish, but is also more intuitive and less complicated.

A good example of this is that the quick menu, besides the photo feature, also has a flashlight, a calculator and clock, which is accessible at the screen saver.

The Facetime is also more practical and simple conversations are the increasingly common use.

The design of the icons, with new color choices, favoring more cheerful tones and clear, and coming to the minimalist look of the screens, mainly white, took a clean tone.

Personally I still opting for Androids, more robust functionality and greater number of developers of free applications
