A special team in search of stolen smartphone

A New York petty crime does business reselling stolen iPhone. The police worked with Apple to retrieve the devices.

It is the first international agreement of its kind between a manufacturer of mobile devices and a provider of solutions applied to electronic payments.

It takes the form of new chips embedded in mobile phones and Samsung preloaded with the application of Visa payWave. Credit and financial institutions can enter the account information for payment by remote control using the mobile phone service of Visa those selected NFC devices, typically equipped with wireless connectivity.

In January of last year Visa approved models of Samsung, LG and BlackBerry use their own technology payWave. Since then I have started testing on electronic payments within the phone company Optus and Vodafone.

Financial institutions what they think? Antipodes trials are reality. Banks Westpac and ANZ have verified mobile payments using smartphones Galaxy S III with a chip inserted SIM card. Commonwealth Bank has completely missed the test considering them too expensive. Westpac conducted its own tests with MasterCard, Visa's main competitor.

Although Windows offers a wide range of characters, users end up smarter install additional files to use other fonts in their documents.

The problem of Office documents is that, by default, does not contain an integrated copy of the characters used in them. That is why, when we deploy a particular document, we usually convert it to PDF. In this way, in fact, we make sure that your file retains in all respects its pagination, including the fonts that are placed in the container of the document.

With the Microsoft suite is not possible to do the same thing in Word documents. The file will be slightly larger, but integrate the fonts used and will be displayed faithfully even on computers that do not offer them by default.

Open Word, click on Office Button (or the word File), and then click Options. Open the Rescue.

Click on Embed fonts in the file, then Embed only the characters used in the document (shown to reduce the file size). Before you press OK you have to decide whether we want this setting applies to all documents or only the current one. We can configure this option from the drop-down menu labeled Loyalty in case of sharing. At this point, we close the window with OK.

At this point, once our document is ready, save it be also integrated the characters.

What is the impact on the size?

In the screenshot below you can see the same file for comparison. Left without embedded fonts, right with the characters in the document.

It should be noted therefore that the font used affects the size depending on how many you use.

How does it work exactly?

Before concluding the discussion it should be clarified how this speech from the technical point of view, more than anything else to clarify the topic "license." Can be integrated in the documents for the redistribution of fonts with proprietary license?

The answer is yes. The fonts are not incorporated in full, but it is only fit a set composed of the actual characters used in the document. Furthermore, the character is inserted in an encoded format (odttf) and then would still not be directly usable.

If you want to know more, to know that a docx file is just a container in the form of archive of a number of elements that make up the final document. Check out a document with a program like 7-Zip would produce a set of files like this, where in the directory word and turn fonts contains the embedded fonts.

And with Office 2003?

The operation can also be done in Office 2003. Open the menu Tools, choose Options, bring in the Save.

Select the Embed TrueType fonts and make sure that the two boxes Embed characters in use only and Do not incorporate standard system fonts are also selected.

When, in June 2012, Microsoft announced the new full-bodied that were introduced in Windows Phone 8, a new release of the mobile operating system of Redmond, also stated the impossibility of upgrading to this version of the devices sold to then with Windows Phone 7 and 7.5.

The company, however, had left a glimmer of hope to the holders of such terminals, promising a separate update, called Windows Phone 7.8, which would have been distributed globally to all the "old" devices sometime after the release of Windows Phone 8, and that would lead a not very clear selection of changes in version 8 also older devices.

The "7.8-story"

At that time few could imagine how bad it would have been handled the distribution of Windows Phone 7.8 from the Microsoft partner after the conference in June, the company has in fact provided few details about the features and tempostiche provided for updating , and the main producers, with the notable exception of Nokia, gave directions very inaccurate and incomplete in this regard, even denying, in many cases (especially from HTC and LG), the availability of updates for its terminals helping to create a situation of great uncertainty and confusion.

On 31 January, with more than 3 months late on the launch of Windows Phone 8, began rather quietly (with no official statement from Microsoft), the deployment and, above all, this occurred in global mode for all devices with Windows Phone 7.x (including those for the end of 2010): it seemed that finally the 7.8-story was destined to end with a "happy ending."

However this did not happen: despite the novelty implemented by the update were not particularly numerous and its distribution has been carried out, as usual Microsoft, 'banded' (10% of the devices in the first week, 25 % the second, the third, and only 50% after 100%), in order to have more control over the appearance of any problems, already a few days after the beginning of the roll-out, various users have started to complain some malfunctions associated with updating.

Some of these were only temporary (mainly problems with the Marketplace application), while others still remain on a variety of devices (problems with live tile, animated icons features of Windows Phone, some slow to start applications from the Start Screen, decrease in the duration of the battery and consumption abnormal traffic data).

Personally, I have found only occasional slowdown in the launch of some applications, a few minor problems to the system of review of the app on the Store and questionable changes to the management of the system volume (every time decreased intensity in 19/30, ostensibly to by a European regulation in this regard), but for the rest of the system works as and better than before (Nokia Lumia 710).

The last news: deploy suspended?

A re-render unclear the picture we thought a news released in the last hour: according to reports on the forum on by an employee of Vodafone Germany, Microsoft (that centrally manages the update for all devices, regardless of manufacturer / operator) seems to have suspended the deployment.

At the moment it is not clear what are the reasons for the suspension or official news are available by Microsoft and it is always good to "take pinch" the information provided by the media channels (Facebook, Twitter, forums etc.. ..), but that something did not go the right way in the development and deployment of Windows Phone 7.8 is evident.

I personally believe that the interruption of deployment is the right choice until the problems of Windows Phone 7.8 will not be finally resolved, but it would be particularly appropriate that the Redmond company decides to shed light on the matter officially, considered that management of this kind is not good for either the forum or users and developers who believe in the ecosystem of Microsoft.

Google continues to grow. The spaces of the headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., are no longer sufficient. The numbers today: 37,000 employees, a third of the global work force, and 65 buildings.

By 2015, we will complete the extension of the campus. The design of Bayview, the new campus is managed by Seattle architecture firm NBBJ. The main features are the informal working environment and ironic and a balanced blend of workspaces and municipalities to facilitate spontaneous encounters.

Another 17 hectares, 1.1 million square feet, are to accommodate new structures. The projects are promising and futuristic. Nine buildings, most with four-story, rectangular shapes bent to accommodate courtyards of communication, connecting bridges, a roof covered with green with lots of refreshment outdoors.

The design follows the vision of Google work environment. Great space to natural light, saving energy and work harness the sun for heat and light. This will be the largest office complex in the United States.

But thinking it's not that surprising considering the established partnership with Google and success with Android.

At the same venue Sony has said they intend to propose a device with Firefox OS. The output on the market is planned for 2014, although to date there is no information on the characteristics of the cell. Sony intends to promote the spread of Firefox OS, thereby facilitating competition between mobile operating systems.

A peculiarity of Firefox OS is the ability to group the results of research carried out at the same time via the web and through applications. There is also a feature that speeds up the search, allowing the operator to make an application from a search term.

Mozilla intends to collect the most popular applications by users, such as Twitter and Facebook, the online shop of Firefox.

Google continues to grow. The spaces of the headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., are no longer sufficient. The numbers today: 37,000 employees, a third of the global work force, and 65 buildings.

By 2015, we will complete the extension of the campus. The design of Bayview, the new campus is managed by Seattle architecture firm NBBJ. The main features are the informal working environment and ironic and a balanced blend of workspaces and municipalities to facilitate spontaneous encounters.

Another 17 hectares, 1.1 million square feet, are to accommodate new structures. The projects are promising and futuristic. Nine buildings, most with four-story, rectangular shapes bent to accommodate courtyards of communication, connecting bridges, a roof covered with green with lots of refreshment outdoors.

The design follows the vision of Google work environment. Great space to natural light, saving energy and work harness the sun for heat and light. This will be the largest office complex in the United States.

Facebook and Apple have made it known to work on projects growth of their workplace.

The best smartphone available, those with hardware from fear and fashionable design, difficult to adapt to the economic times that the entire planet is going through, and are unlikely to be accessible to a large audience without the vastness of dealers' bids or (worse) without borrow.

Who spends more, takes longer: this old proverb fits (is) very well in the world of smartphones.

I this context smartphones with more affordable prices (100 € -200 €) difficult (indeed, almost never) offer performance at the level of higher-level smartphone: do you want the poor optimization of the most popular operating systems (Android) or the presence of smartphones with obsolete software (Symbian OS and other owners), we can find in this range only smartphone "elephants": frequent delays, issues of autonomy and overheating and, in general, poor performance on all fronts.

The emergence of hardware of the highest level (comparable hardware for PC) has expanded this performance gap between low-cost devices and high-end devices

With this in mind, we had no hope of being able to recover at least part of the fluidity and speed of execution of a SIII or an iPhone for less than 200 €.

But to change the tables will think Firefox OS, the new mobile system signed Mozilla.

One of the partners of Mozilla, ZTE, will present at the next MWC in Barcelona the first low-cost smartphone performance and fluidity never before seen on very limited hardware.

The product will be called ZTE Open.

Here is the picture of product presentation that will be shown at

Specifically:

Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC with ARM Cortex-A5 CPU 800 MHz GPU Adeno 200 256 MB of RAM 512 MB of internal memory Display 3.5-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen with resolution 3.2 megapixel rear camera Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, GPS, FM Radio Battery 1200 mAh

With this hardware will surely run away laughing, as this "stuff" you can not see around on Android for at least two years, and the few models still in circulation are in fact the "elephants".

But the clothes do not make the Monaco, said another proverb: the operating system, Firefox OS will be optimized up to capacity for this specific hardware, so you bring out its full potential.

A dress made to measure, quite fitting hardware (to our eyes very poor).

The Linux kernel into Firefox OS has been reduced to the bone with a few modules, the minimum necessary for the hardware of the device.

The graphical user interface (Gaia) is ultra lightweight and performance, thanks to Gecko (the rendering engine of Mozilla products typical) and gonk, which provides excellent hardware abstraction (HAL).

To this we add that all the software pre-installed and compatible use HTML5 and the Open Web API, which according to the manufacturer will be up to 70% faster than the software made with other code (C + + and C # at all).

Still has not been officially unveiled the device, but the basis for a successful (or at least a moderate interest) are all there: risk of stucco to remain in front of a device that boots up in half the time of device-end high, and beat in performance even smartphones 700-800 €.

And drum roll: up to 4 days of battery life with Wi-Fi and 3G always on!

The device will present a speed of code execution 150 times higher than other low-cost products, all without jamming or sudden freeze.

With such hardware is hard to launch the product with prices above € 100, there are very good chances of having this device to 70-80 €.

NOTE: the figures did not yet confirmed, we must wait for the release of the device and the official confirmation.

It must be said that not all manufacturers are convinced of the goodness of the operating system Mozilla, although the open nature of the system attracts new producers Sleuth (Sony).

I do not have to wait for the official presentation of the products.

At this point, questions arise about the nature of the mobile OS:

On other platforms, in order to obtain good performance, it is necessary to have multi-core CPU and lots of RAM in the system, otherwise it will "plant everything."

Comes this ultra-cheap, with negligible hardware, and promises to "make fur" a device more fashionable and noble.

Then it's all a matter of code?

If the rumors are confirmed true, we can say that Android, as well as other OS (Windows Phone and iOS), are not well optimized, with optimized code so badly as to require a hardware to deliver high-impact performance appreciable.

We can only imagine what it will offer Firefox OS on dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM, but comes without saying that this operating system will have better luck if it provides the advantages of device with affordable prices.

It is the first international agreement of its kind between a manufacturer of mobile devices and a provider of solutions applied to electronic payments.

It takes the form of new chips embedded in mobile phones and Samsung preloaded with the application of Visa payWave. Credit and financial institutions can enter the account information for payment by remote control using the mobile phone service of Visa those selected NFC devices, typically equipped with wireless connectivity.

In January of last year Visa approved models of Samsung, LG and BlackBerry use their own technology payWave. Since then I have started testing on electronic payments within the phone company Optus and Vodafone.

Financial institutions what they think? Antipodes trials are reality. Banks Westpac and ANZ have verified mobile payments using smartphones Galaxy S III with a chip inserted SIM card. Commonwealth Bank has completely missed the test considering them too expensive. Westpac conducted its own tests with MasterCard, Visa's main competitor.

Although Windows offers a wide range of characters, users end up smarter install additional files to use other fonts in their documents.

The problem of Office documents is that, by default, does not contain an integrated copy of the characters used in them. That is why, when we deploy a particular document, we usually convert it to PDF. In this way, in fact, we make sure that your file retains in all respects its pagination, including the fonts that are placed in the container of the document.

With the Microsoft suite is not possible to do the same thing in Word documents. The file will be slightly larger, but integrate the fonts used and will be displayed faithfully even on computers that do not offer them by default.

Open Word, click on Office Button (or the word File), and then click Options. Open the Rescue.

Click on Embed fonts in the file, then Embed only the characters used in the document (shown to reduce the file size). Before you press OK you have to decide whether we want this setting applies to all documents or only the current one. We can configure this option from the drop-down menu labeled Loyalty in case of sharing. At this point, we close the window with OK.

At this point, once our document is ready, save it be also integrated the characters.

What is the impact on the size?

In the screenshot below you can see the same file for comparison. Left without embedded fonts, right with the characters in the document.

It should be noted therefore that the font used affects the size depending on how many you use.

How does it work exactly?

Before concluding the discussion it should be clarified how this speech from the technical point of view, more than anything else to clarify the topic "license." Can be integrated in the documents for the redistribution of fonts with proprietary license?

The answer is yes. The fonts are not incorporated in full, but it is only fit a set composed of the actual characters used in the document. Furthermore, the character is inserted in an encoded format (odttf) and then would still not be directly usable.

If you want to know more, to know that a docx file is just a container in the form of archive of a number of elements that make up the final document. Check out a document with a program like 7-Zip would produce a set of files like this, where in the directory word and turn fonts contains the embedded fonts.

And with Office 2003?

The operation can also be done in Office 2003. Open the menu Tools, choose Options, bring in the Save.

Select the Embed TrueType fonts and make sure that the two boxes Embed characters in use only and Do not incorporate standard system fonts are also selected.

When, in June 2012, Microsoft announced the new full-bodied that were introduced in Windows Phone 8, a new release of the mobile operating system of Redmond, also stated the impossibility of upgrading to this version of the devices sold to then with Windows Phone 7 and 7.5.

The company, however, had left a glimmer of hope to the holders of such terminals, promising a separate update, called Windows Phone 7.8, which would have been distributed globally to all the "old" devices sometime after the release of Windows Phone 8, and that would lead a not very clear selection of changes in version 8 also older devices.

The "7.8-story"

At that time few could imagine how bad it would have been handled the distribution of Windows Phone 7.8 from the Microsoft partner after the conference in June, the company has in fact provided few details about the features and tempostiche provided for updating , and the main producers, with the notable exception of Nokia, gave directions very inaccurate and incomplete in this regard, even denying, in many cases (especially from HTC and LG), the availability of updates for its terminals helping to create a situation of great uncertainty and confusion.

On 31 January, with more than 3 months late on the launch of Windows Phone 8, began rather quietly (with no official statement from Microsoft), the deployment and, above all, this occurred in global mode for all devices with Windows Phone 7.x (including those for the end of 2010): it seemed that finally the 7.8-story was destined to end with a "happy ending."

However this did not happen: despite the novelty implemented by the update were not particularly numerous and its distribution has been carried out, as usual Microsoft, 'banded' (10% of the devices in the first week, 25 % the second, the third, and only 50% after 100%), in order to have more control over the appearance of any problems, already a few days after the beginning of the roll-out, various users have started to complain some malfunctions associated with updating.

Some of these were only temporary (mainly problems with the Marketplace application), while others still remain on a variety of devices (problems with live tile, animated icons features of Windows Phone, some slow to start applications from the Start Screen, decrease in the duration of the battery and consumption abnormal traffic data).

Personally, I have found only occasional slowdown in the launch of some applications, a few minor problems to the system of review of the app on the Store and questionable changes to the management of the system volume (every time decreased intensity in 19/30, ostensibly to by a European regulation in this regard), but for the rest of the system works as and better than before (Nokia Lumia 710).

The last news: deploy suspended?

A re-render unclear the picture we thought a news released in the last hour: according to reports on the forum on by an employee of Vodafone Germany, Microsoft (that centrally manages the update for all devices, regardless of manufacturer / operator) seems to have suspended the deployment.

At the moment it is not clear what are the reasons for the suspension or official news are available by Microsoft and it is always good to "take pinch" the information provided by the media channels (Facebook, Twitter, forums etc.. ..), but that something did not go the right way in the development and deployment of Windows Phone 7.8 is evident.

I personally believe that the interruption of deployment is the right choice until the problems of Windows Phone 7.8 will not be finally resolved, but it would be particularly appropriate that the Redmond company decides to shed light on the matter officially, considered that management of this kind is not good for either the forum or users and developers who believe in the ecosystem of Microsoft.

The use of smartphones has increased over time. The spread makes them the object of attention of thieves and criminals who seize the opportunities granted to them on the fly. In New York, the situation of theft devices Apple is so severe as to force the police department to create a team dedicated to their recovery.

According to a police report of the theft of the iPhone and iPad have grown by 40% in just eight months. From September 2012 were 11,447 reported cases of theft. On the other hand the black market can recover hundreds of dollars from the sale of a phone.

An access code and subscription services such as "Find My iPhone" Apple may be useful security systems.

Each device has a number of identification numbers, known as International Mobile Station Equipment Identity. It is through these numbers that trusts the police to trace stolen goods.
