Google and Microsoft want the messages to Twitter. Currently the two main engines of the world, placing in orbit of Yahoo Bill Gates, looking for web sites, videos, books, music, news … and now they have launched a hunt for private messages. Must be negotiated.

The aim is to use the information produced by the “twittered” in their engines búsqueda.En both Google and Microsoft Bing have the same goal: to know what your messages are interested Twitter users to provide books, movies, cars, trips that might interest them most in terms of what they say in their messages.

The possibilities are immense. A group of Twitter friends comment on a trip to Thailand. from search engines are offered seats on airlines, hotels, sightseeing excursions, money exchange …

A group of users are at dinner. They offer restaurants. They say that like an Italian. For all the Italians in the area. They are also in the case of Google, located by GPS. Business round. The question is what wins Twitter. That is the question. Of privacy or talk.

Microsoft finally launched Windows 7 and the European Union so far as expected and has suffered a permanent cancellation.

The company expects to know whether you can include multiple browsers on your operating system and choose new patterns soon after its launch.

Another issue is to launch an operating system without a browser, but many users do not like this idea but if they can choose between one or the other.

All this is a great challenge for Microsoft and the EU where there could be another fine if the company launches the OS only with Internet Explorer.

In other countries and continents to choose between different versions without the change that has existed in Europe and its great controversy among the software preinstalled.

To all this must wait until October 22 before the output of Windows 7.

The manufacturer Sony also gets into a fight with so-called eBooks launches two and being cheaper than anyone, even than Kindle.

Called Sony Pocket Reader (left) and Sony Reader Touch (right) are two of the first Japanese manufacturer and not the past.

He wants to revolutionize the market with two models that will be very economical with their larger competitors, and Papyrer Amazon Kindle DX.

The first will feature a 5-inch wide screen, while the latter is increased to 6-inch touch screen entirely (such as a smartphone).

In addition, Sony and looks down the prices of electronic books through an Internet connection at a price lower than that offered by Amazon UK.

The fever for the eBook (electronic book) is beginning to expand outside and within the United States, where Europe already has over 20,000 users with a portfolio.

The price of Sony Pocket Reader is $ 199, while the Sony Reader Touch will be around $ 299.

Officially inaugurated the era of electronic book, the major firms are willing to put on the table as many models as possible. New eBooks come at the hands of Japan’s Sony and its technical name for PRS300 and PRS600. Although earlier this week all pointed to one rumor, the day after the multinational company confirmed the existence of this pair of brothers ready to enter fully into the world of e-book, and how not disclosed some of its features.

The RC-Reader PRS300 Pocket Edition is an electronic book with five-inch screen (not to speak of touch) and a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, just a little when compared with the technical characteristics of the Amazon Kindle will come DX, whose screen comes to ten inches. The same goes for memory. Sony has equipped the PRS300 with only 512 MB, unlike other teams who are above the UK. It is compatible with USB 2.0 connection and can connect to both PC and Mac The battery can last up to 7,500 pages.

No more outstanding is the model-SC Reader PRS600 Touch Edition. Although if he has a six-inch touchscreen, 800 x 600 pixel resolution and a thickness of only ten millimeters. Peca of the shortage of memory, 512 MB, although it has a virtual keyboard and an electronic dictionary in English. It leads perfectly with both PC and MAC, but has the same capacity for your battery.

We emphasize that it is especially for the price. PRS300 the cost can reach about 140 euros, while the PRS600 is made available to the client by 210 euros.

The revolution was about eBooks. Besides the new Kindle, Sony Corp. and Sony also throws Iliad, Phillips, and has its own e-book, like the Cybook Payre and not behind. Too many options to read in the era of modernity up to 170,000 books in a small device that fits in your pocket. Is it time to say goodbye to paper?

Spain is already digital. For 300 euros you can either have a library. Began Kindle, Amazon and now thousands of brands of euphoria following the electronic book. Sony aims to recapture the market with its new product, supposedly smaller and cheaper. However, competition is tough. Increasingly, e-books go on sale.

The euphoria comes with a digital force. Two years after the appearance of the Kindle, which has sold half a million units and has become the symbol of that revolution.

The threat of this little device is similar to having a real book. The screen is like a book with electronic ink, the text does not blink and the pixels can be varied to facilitate the reading. The display is not illuminated and therefore do not tire the eyes. Its greatest virtue is that it is a library of 260 grams.

All are two virtues in the book: the capacity and weight. The new model from Sony can store 350 titles and is only 12.5 centimeters. Like other electronic books. can stress, increase the body of the letter and change the margins for easy reading.

What me?

The Kindle is the king of digital books. Its biggest advantage is that it can be downloaded from 170,000 books from Amazon.

Dutch Iliad (the manufacturer is a spin off of Philips) is the most expensive (cost twice that of the rest) has wifi and better screen, but is also heavier and slower.

The Papyrer (aka Hanlin) and Cybook compete. They are easy to find in Europe and is very popular among lovers of technology.

Sony Corp will sell for $ 199, one third of the basic model Kindle and $ 80 less than the Sony PRS-504, which will be discontinued. Steve Haber, president of the digital division of Sony, cree that the price of paperback will attract new consumers

Version RTM (Release To Manufacturing) of Windows 7 has a critical bug that could cause the delay of the new Microsoft operating system, scheduled for October 22.

There is a critical flaw in Windows 7 in the RTM version (for its acronym in English for Release To Manufacturing), prior to that available to end users, which could descabalar the timetable set by Microsoft for the launch of its new operating system .

According to InfoWorld, the error causes the Check Disk utility in Windows requires an excessive memory blocking system without actually performing the task. The problem affects both the 32 bit version to the 64, and is classified as a “Showstopper”, ie it can cause total blockade of the operating system (the classic blue screen) to exhaust the available memory.

The seriousness of the failure could lead to changes in plans with respect to Microsoft Windows 7, the operating system with which the company wants to recoup the limited success of Vista and expected to recover sales.

Free software developers involved in the Debian Conference which was held in Caceres, have agreed that this system is gaining fans “at a higher rate of tranquility that allows for some great companies.”

This has been indicated to Efe Ana Beatriz Guerrero Lopez and Jose Antonio Recio, who lead the team of developers of the Debian Conference IX, which until July 30 is celebrated in Caceres.

Both have stressed that the Debian project is huge, distributed a large amount of software and involved 2000 volunteers from around the world “and there is no entity or interest behind.”

“We are all volunteers and we adhere to a hierarchy as flat as possible,” said Guerrero Lopez, who has insisted that each of them work from home and the area you are most interested in Debian, either assemblers, translators or services.

They have also ensured that the negative impact it has made for Microsoft Windows Vista has given more fame to the free software, because “there are actually people who offer to uninstall it in a professional way of personal computers,” says José Antonio Recio.

In his view, the Windows Vista has made many consumers wary of Microsoft’s software, which he did not care to pay license fees for keeping quiet. ”

Linux is winning the game especially at the institutional level, and many companies are starting to rely on free software as a mainstay of their computer systems.

In this regard, ensure that the change in attitude is through business, and that the network of free software is building among the different public administrations and organizations ranging from large corporations to small businesses.

As for the future launch of the Chrome OS, operating system, Google has announced that free for NetBooks, Guerrero Lopez notes that “it does not matter what Google or Microsoft do, we sell an option we want to reach a large number of people” .

Added that the system that Google intends to launch is likely to work over the internet “but unfortunately not everyone has access to the network and, in fact, internet is very expensive in African countries, for example.”

The advantage that free software is that the user does not depend on anyone and absolutely given as example, some mail servers “since the day that server fails, you lose your access to your personal mail, and are completely defenseless.”

Another example is the number of companies and users are forced to migrate to a new version of Office, but do not want something that will not happen with free software, highlight the developers.

The user connects to the network and starts his chores. Enter the launch of his new work in Google Docs project, editing the photos from his trip to New York in Picasa and upload a family video to YouTube. After listening to your favorite topics of Franz Ferdinand in Spotify and enjoy the new episodes of Gray’s Anatomy in Seriesyonkis.

The user connects to the network and starts his chores. Enter the launch of his new work in Google Docs project, editing the photos from his trip to New York in Picasa and upload a family video to YouTube. After listening to your favorite topics of Franz Ferdinand in Spotify and enjoy the new episodes of Gray’s Anatomy in Seriesyonkis. In addition, get his collection of film series and a virtual store as Rapidshare or Megaupload to lighten the hard drive and power sharing.

Everything he has done online, for free, without downloading anything on your terminal (Spotify only download the required browser). No matter where you are: at work, at home or in a hotel. You only need a connection: the web is running on the web and stays.

Perhaps unknowingly, the user is moving in the cloud (cloud in English), which is known as the virtual territory comprises all that software and applications that run outside the computer, whether fixed, portable or mobile phone . They are housed on servers located somewhere in undetermined but it is accessible from anywhere. The terminal then becomes a simple way to plug that cloud computing.

Thanks in part to the spread of higher bandwidth and better wireless connectivity (wifi), the cloud is the area in which the majority of everyday activities to a screen. In fact, 69% of Internet users have stored information on the Net or have used any software application online, according to a study of 2008 Pew Internet & American Life Project.

Some experts predict a future in which almost all our personal belongings (photographs, videos) and cultural (films, records …) will be in the cloud, ie a network of servers whose location aware. Thus, in theory, our digital belongings will be available at any time via any device with Web access to the counterparty, as warn others, is the unit of connectivity, the risk of losing privacy and mystery about how to modify cultural consumption.

The success of the cloud lies in the ease and convenience to manage their services. “The creators of online applications to compete for its fun and easy to use,” said the expert in information technologies Nicholas G. Carr, author of The Big Switch test, which predicts that the impact of the migration of technology to the cloud will be similar to the advent of electricity. “The traditional business applications, however, tend to be designed to deal effectively with a certain type of task, without considering the ease of use. It is also open on the Internet without the restrictions of the networks and systems companies.

Cloud computing (or cloud computing) is a term that originally referred only to how to coordinate multiple computers to improve the efficiency of their computing capacity, as he recalled David de Ugarte, an economist and cofounder of the new technologies consultant Society Electronic Indies. Now its meaning has expanded to also apply to managing digital information driven by users, a new environment has accentuated the changes to the digitization born. “The contents are no longer visible in a physical medium and consumed online,” said Fernando Garrido, a sociology of the Center for CyberSociety. “The new screens (mobile, portable …) opens a universe of time consumption. The change is radical.”

And it is changing the habits of viewing, listening and reading, warns Carr “The Network is designed to encourage the rapid consumption of small pieces of information, and we adapted our habits to the web. Books, CDs and videos are split into portions .

Some examples. Viewing of series and movies streaming (without having to download them to your hard drive) is increasing rapidly compared to discharges P2P (peer-to-peer). Almost half of Canadian Internet users, 47.8% used this formula (as in Seriesyonkis websites) for watching movies and series in the last year, ahead of 37.3% through the download file-sharing programs, according to the report eEspaña 2009, the Orange Foundation. In music, however, remain ahead of the discharge, 42%, compared to 38.5% who listen to music directly online.

Of the book is divided. Some are betting on the success of electronic broad-as-Carr and others for coexistence. “It takes us 500 years. On him we have built our society and our way of thinking,” says Garrido. “It’s hard to replace as an eBook, you can relocate.” And it is likely that each specializes: digital format for scholarly texts, documents, and the traditional, to literature and entertainment.

Emerges in a whole new kind of cultural consumption abundant, fragmented and, above all, immediately. Just a shortage and it breaks the link with the hardware. It is a paradigm shift: “The devices go from being a central element to be a means to access,” the psychologist Roberto Balaguer, specializing in the social impact of information technology. “They function as a continent to act as hooks in the cloud, where things happen and where young people live.”

A new environment for the head of software architecture for Microsoft, Ray Ozzie, has well defined in the Economist: [the cloud will be possible] “half in which all your devices together, managed through the web as a whole . In this direction is the new proposed Google for September: Google Wave, an ambitious service that will combine email, chat, wiki, word processing, maps, videos and photographs, as well as social network and will work together.

“The problem is that Google and Internet can become an alternative, and the user, almost an employee,” Ugarte alert, which considers the Wave as “the great trap mice of our privacy.”

That all personal information and creations (textual, photographic, etc.) are hosted in a virtual space outside the user control raises important questions, according to some experts. The first concern the connectivity (not used offline) and privacy. Unlike the material, the products identified in the cloud perfectly to your users, frequency of consultation, etc., “says José Antonio Millán, essayist and author of Manual of civility and good manners on the net. “These data, subject to privacy or changing cumbersome, can have an easy operation, at best, only advertising.”

A warning with which De Ugarte. “The point is to determine who has the sovereignty of the data. If you use the Google cloud, it also controls my data.” Thus, you can track all the user stored in its applications and cross it with his consultations and even your credit history. “It can be used, for example, to put ads in your Gmail account as your purchasing power.”

This is a vulnerability to which they are mainly vulnerable young people, the digital natives who have grown nearly wedged in the Net “Young people no longer connect to the Internet and no longer live as something alien or separate from the physical world” , says Garrido, the Center for CyberSociety. “They are on the internet in its cloud, permanently.” That is precisely why-read-their sense of privacy has changed dramatically. “It identifies the value of keeping certain information private.” In fact, over half of young people between 15 and 25 years have shared personal information with strangers through the Internet, according to a study by the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos.

The other big question concerns the ownership of user’s creations, whether wikis, text in Google Docs, Picasa photos or videos recorded with mobile phones and uploaded to Qik. “You can be a good day with the fruit of his work has disappeared, or that appears under clauses reuse unacceptable,” warns Millán. “Projects whole teaching, research, etc., may be lost. There should be no acceptable system for the development of materials in the cloud that does not have at least the possibility of creating a backup on the computer.”

What seems to be no doubt of the business possibilities of the cloud. Google is the great champions of computing and online has been launched to conquer this environment. Its big bet is the OS Os Chrome, designed to work in the cloud. It is designed for netbooks (ultra), is based on open source and Linux for free download from the Web “We want it quick and light, it starts and you connect to the Internet in seconds. The interface is basically because the Most of the activity takes place on the web, “according to Google’s blog. Chrome OS will come in 2010.

Microsoft, the king of operating systems pre-installed in the terminal (something like the opposite of the cloud), has already responded. Since 2010 offering free online versions of Office for simple netbooks. Include word processing (Word), spreadsheet (Excel), presentations (PowerPoint) and recognition of text (OneNote). Will be financed by ads, as Google does.

The most likely scenario is that the cloud coexisting with copies of the material more sensitive to the hard disk, as Nicholas Carr notes: “I believe that store most of our cultural goods and information from remote data centers and managed by companies like Google, though likely to retain copies of some of them in our devices. ” Others believe that the effectiveness of programs for the fixed desktop is still unbeatable as Paul Boutin in Slate says. The good thing about them, he says, is that you can disconnect from the Internet and work quietly alone for a few hours.

The cloud also offers facilities management in data centers of enterprises. Google has the Google Apps services (including chat, email, word processor or web manager) is designed for work environments. “After success among users, the cloud will have more impact on business,” predicts Carlos Gracia Armendáriz, director of Google Enterprise for Spain and Portugal. The cloud, he adds, improves the efficiency of data management, such as spam filtering, for example.

Other companies, like Amazon, they sell part of its cloud (coordinated network of servers to work as a computer), which can be used as storage or computing capacity. “It’s a useful service for start-ups [new small businesses], it does not have to buy servers, hire only the computer,” explains Diego Mariño, Abiquo the company’s founder and promoter of free software to build clouds. The cloud, seen in its original sense, allowing “mix and the time and computing power of computers makes a commodity, such as cleaning or electricity, De Ugarte added.

And how to work together with the cloud creates opportunities for businesses, according to Carr “Collaboration is at the heart of the business, but is constrained by traditional applications of the companies, which tend to work isolated, restricted to one user or a company. ”

An example: “If you want to share a document in a word processor with Word, you have to attach the file to an email and send several people to edit and then handle each one,” he explains. “With an online word processor, such as Google Docs, anyone can work on the same document online. The great advantage of online applications for business, while reducing the costs of licensing and maintenance, is to make collaboration easier” .

In any case, the dematerialization of cultural and personal seems irreversible. “There will be cloud and local storage of digital assets”, provides Carr, “but I do not think it has much solid future.”

Netbooks, because in a matter of portable size does matter

They are called subportátiles within the computer world, because they are smaller than conventional computers. But far from being a derogatory term, is one of the most interesting due to its light weight and affordable price, hacenmuy it appealing to consumers. Are smaller than conventional notebooks and therefore weigh much less.

A NETBOOK that price should not exceed 2 Kilogramos weight, although there are 600 grams. Its main task is to connect to the Internet, so you do not need high performance memory, processor or hard drive, which lowers their cost to the point of getting lower prices to 300 euros. We are not used to play, unless it is ed, or to run powerful applications, but some laptop manufacturers know about the consumption of them, because all trademarks have been launched with the sale of these products, with very interesting results .

The software sector has also begun to develop systems to maximize the characteristics of these teams. Recently Google announced its Chrome operating system OS for 2010, designed specifically for netbooks. Microsoft, aware queWindows is too heavy to run on these computers, is working on Gazelle. And Android, and Linux distributions are already operating in these devices.

FOUR GREAT NETBOOKS AMONG SMALLER

Asus EEE PC. He was one of the first netbooks that left the market, surprising everyone with its price and features. It currently has a fairly broad range of models that differ mainly in the size of the screen. The smallest is 7 inches, medium size, 9 and greater than 10.

Features. DeWindows license can be purchased with XP or GNU Linux. It incorporates Intel Atom processor, 1 GB RAM and 160 GB hard drive in high range. The latest models also have a longer battery life, up to 7 hours, and HSDPA connectivity. It also offers a version of Tablet PC.

Acer Aspire One With the EEA Asus NETBOOK it was the first to reach the Spanish market and has retained a number of awards for best laptop of 2009. In fact, in 2008 the house Acer increased its sales by 128% after the sale to make this range of computers.

Features. Its screen is 8.9 inch with LED backlight, and weighs 1.26 kilograms. Its keyboard is quite spacious and comfortable. Includes webcam and 3 USB ports. It uses the Intel Atom 1.6 GHz can have 1GB of RAM, 80 GB hard drive yWindows XP or Linux.

HPMini-Note. HP came home a little later to the world of netbooks and, despite being one of the most popular laptop manufacturers do not bet on this range until long after Asus and Acer to launch its models. The 2133 Mini-Note was a response to the two previous models, with a slightly higher price.

Features. Its target audience are students. It has a 8.9 inch screen and weighs about 1.1 kilograms. One of its advantages is the size of the keyboard, which does not detract from the conventional laptops. Uses the Via C7 processor, with a range between 1 and 1.6 GHz RAM higher than 2 GB.

Sony Vaio Fr Is the smallest of these four models and who are not considered a NETBOOK, but a small notebook. In any case, its manageable size and its extremely low weight of around 640 grams, makes it a very interesting option. The point against their high cost, more than 900 euros.

Features. Screen has a 8-inch pan made for reasons of space. The keyboard is much smaller than usual and has no trackpad as a mouse, but a ball that incomoda navigation. Comes with Intel Atom 1.33 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and an 60 Gb hard drive
