Reading … facial recognition software guess your age and turns … – IGN Brazil

When I go to a bar or know a unknown class, my favorite joke is to make people try to guess my age. To show the processing power of your cloud service, Microsoft launched a new website, the How-Old.net, trying to do just the same as me in this bar game: guess your age from one or a few photos .

The first test was made at Build 2015 Microsoft conference devoted to developers, with the famous painting Mona Lisa . According to the program, Mona Lisa is 23 – which is more or less correct, considering what we know about the Leonardo da Vinci painting

It was enough. . for the internet exploded and tried to play, on their computers and cell phones, the joke of the Microsoft bar

We here at IGN Brazil test the game – and it did not produce good results as our team. (We were all older, and I personally, I gained 15 years of age for the evaluation of software. I’ll put the blame on the beard). But we went further and tested the program in some of the most beloved characters in the world of gaming.

What do you think? Let your contributions in the comments!

Software transforms virtually any touchscreen in a … – Digital Journal

 Manufacturers are exploring the world of biometrics and digital scanners put in almost everything – from photocopiers to school buses. And now a Yahoo research team may have found a way to extend the biometric recognition for anything with touchscreen.

To identify the protrusions and depressions that form the fingerprint, you need a high resolution scanner – something that is definitely not a touchscreen. But the researchers found, you can “grab” the principle of fingerprint and apply it to much larger parts of the body, which have a much more defined topology.

In practice, this means pressing the your ears or knuckles against the cellphone screen. Capacitive sensors on the screen are able to map the part of your body, check if it is your ear being pressed against the screen, and then unlock the device. The team says that in his limited study of 12 participants achieved an accuracy of 99.52%.

The system still needs to be tested on a wider scale until one can really say it’s safe – maybe three in 100 people have the joints of equal fingers pop them all the time. But if it works, the recognition of the body printing can be an inexpensive and effective way to ensure security for all smartphones

Among other tasks, the Mesos choose the best way to complete tasks, considering all features of a database

The software also allows engineers to make service updates as Siri as if they were doing the task in just a single computer. – when, in fact, are messing with thousands of . servers

But the most amazing happened at the end of the presentation, when developers revealed the name of the version that Apple created for Apache Mesos:. JARVIS

The meaning of the acronym is almost equal to the operating system of Tony Stark. There is only a small difference in the last letter.

So every time you think of hardly speak your iPhone (which just learned Portuguese) that he did not understand what you mean by “Set alarm for 7:30 “, remember that he has avoided that the earth was invaded by aliens from Asgard. Or nearly so

Startup launches software for ‘spying’ unproductive staff – Russian Gazette

Currently, about 20 000 employees
 major Russian companies are under the control of “CrocoTime”. Among the corporations
 who use the service are the energy giant Gazprom, and the Tinkoff, one of the largest
 the country’s banks. But why they were interested in such a tool? To
 answer this question, one must understand how the software works.

First, the “CrocoTime” calculates the time
 work based on the use of the mouse and keyboard: if they are not used
 within a certain period of time, the program considers that the employee does not
 is exercising its functions.

Furthermore, while the “CrocoTime” is installed
 the client server, so-called “monitoring agents” are inserted
 the computers of employees. All sites and programs are divided into
 three categories as determined by the customer: productive, unproductive and
 not essential.

“The non-essential resources are separated. Are productive programs, but its use
 does not apply to the direct responsibilities of employees and can lead to problems
 in running a business, “said the executive director of Infomaksimum and
 Developer’s program, Aleksandr Bochkin.

“For example, managers of a company X passed
 60% of the time in a non-appropriate version of Microsoft Word and made contracts
 the hand. After the monitoring time, the department adopted the use of models
 documents. “

For the software license, the
 companies today invest the equivalent of 2,560 rubles ($ 50) per employee. Second
 Bochkin, after installing the program, customers were able to reduce the time
 unproductive employees 25-30% to 5-7%.

Seemed,
 but not equal

The CrocoTime is not the only program on the market
 Russian for the control of working time. “Discipline”, “OfisMETRIKA”
 “Stakhanovets” and YawareOnline also control the time of arrival and departure of
 employees, and the use of different programs and online resources.

However, according to the creators of “CrocoTime”
 the new program has some differences compared with the other
 available on the market. In addition to simultaneously monitor up to 10 actions
 K users, the software generates a statistic not only about each employee,
 but also on each department.

“CrocoTime” also lets you set the settings
 automatic for a particular group of employees – for example, employees
 accounting or IT experts.

Tablet
 surveillance proof

The developers of “CrocoTime” now plan
 enter the European, American and Asian markets. But, according to the
 investment analyst at Prostor Capital, Sergei Akachkin, the program has
 a limited number of potential customers both abroad and in Russia.

“The prospects of ‘CrocoTime’ are large corporations.
 The need to use time tracking solutions arises in companies with
 more than 50 employees. In smaller companies, a good manager can
 manage staff without resorting to such programs, “Akachkin says.

In addition, according to the analyst, the great employees
 companies increasingly use tablets and smartphones to surf the internet
 during work. “Many managers understand this and are in no hurry to
 implement the control distance. “

Failure to software opens loophole for hackers invade iPhone – EXAME.com

 Berlin – iOS operating system Apple Inc., has a flaw that allows hackers to invade the devices iPhone and iPad that are within range of a wireless connection, according to security company Skycure Ltd.

 

 Applications of equipment and even the basic software as a whole close when operated with SSL encryption certificates handled, said the CEO of Skycure, Adi Sharabani, in a telephone interview.

 

 If hackers manage to invade the devices that are within range of your own wireless network, they can effectively create a “zone without iOS,” according to Skycure, which is based in Tel Aviv, Israel.

 

 “When programs give error, people tend to think it is for a quality problem,” said Sharabani. “But it could be a serious vulnerability.”

 

 Because Apple maintains tight control over the code of your operating system and the applications that can run on it, hackers specialize in mobile phones have focused on the Android platform, Google Inc., which gives them more freedom of manipulation. Failure SSL shows that hackers may have the opportunity to also cause damage to Apple customers.

 

 An Apple representative in London declined to comment. The Skycure said he did not know if anyone has exploited this security hole.

 

 The latest version of iOS, 8.3, launched this month, repaired some of their vulnerabilities, while others may be reproduced, Sharabani said. He declined to provide details as to not give instructions to hackers.

 

  reboot cycles

 

 The Skycure, founded in 2012 by Sharabani and the chief technology officer Yair Amit, specializes in software that protect mobile devices from attacks by the airwaves.

 

 The company, which received $ 8 million last month as investors Shasta Ventures, discovered in 2013 how hackers can attack cell phone users through without malicious wireless networks using privileges usually reserved for mobile operators.

 

 The researchers discovered the Skycure iOS failure experimenting with various ways of connecting devices to a network. When they brought a new router and changed the wireless settings, programs of devices that ran the Apple software started showing errors.

 

 The hackers that control the network that your device is connected can also control the certificates that are often used to transfer data securely and use them to attack the so-called “denial of service”.

 

 How SSL encryption is used by iOS and for almost all applications available on the App Store, vulnerability concerns a wide range of users.

 

 In the worst case, the devices can be forced into reset cycles that can only be stopped if the client out of the reach of malicious network, Sharabani said.

 

 Users should make sure you upgrade the operating system logo and be careful when using public wireless local area networks, said the Skycure.

Disney: and if a software change the words of a movie star? – Exame Informática

There are folding. And there is the new generation of folding that Disney plans to develop in the near future. The traditional folding want to just translate or improve the quality of actors or actors in a video dialogues; the new Disney folding system puts these same people saying things that did not originally said – even make no sense

confused.? In the video inserted on this page may find an example of what the new software producer of Hollywood is capable of. Front of the camera, a volunteer utters a few words in English: ‘clean swatches. ” The sound of this “speech” is, in a first step, synthesized, and then processed by an application that registers the movements of the lips and jaws and searches for words that may require the same movements of the mouth.

After the search, the application passes the overlapping words spoken with synthesized voice and images of the person talking. Which means that in the first example described here, the mouth of voluntary pronounced ‘clean swatches “, but the words can be heard’ thence to what saw ‘; “Laches rush to ‘; ‘Die swat saw’; or any other of the 9658 combinations of words that the software detected as being made with the same mouth movements.

According to the BBC, the system is prepared to avoid grammatical inconsistencies – which does not prevent the semantic inconsistencies caused by words that do not always make sense. Disney developed the new application in order to make the most credible bends – but admits he still has much work to do before getting all the dialogues of a feature film to be folded using this technology.

Oncology center and US software company closed agreements … – swissinfo.ch

HAVANA (Reuters) – A cancer research center and a software company, both from the USA, reached agreements with Cuban partners during the two-day trade mission to Cuba, under the leadership of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the first trip of its kind since the rapprochement between former adversaries countries.

The Cancer Center Roswell Park, Bufallo in New York, on Tuesday signed an agreement with the Molecular Immunology Center of Cuba to develop a vaccine against lung cancer with clinical tests to be made in the USA, said the executive director of the Roswell Park, Cadence Johnson.

Now the software company Infor Global Solutions, headquartered in New York, said he had done according to a Cuban partner, this time software for resale in Cuba, said Chief Executive Officer Charles Phillips.

Both announcements were made at the airport, just before Cuomo and a delegation of 18 executives and academic leaders embark back to New York.

Cuomo, a Democrat, is the first US governor to visit Cuba since US President Barack Obama, and Cuba, Raul Castro announced that they would restore diplomatic relations and work to normalize trade and travel between the two countries, after more than half a century of hostility and confrontation.

Obama has used his executive authority to relieve some parts of the US economic embargo against Cuba, but need support Congress, controlled by Republicans, to completely suspend the measure and normalize trade relations.

Among the members of the trade mission were executives of JetBlue Airways, Pfizer and MasterCard.

Cuomo said the mission was intended to help New York companies to be “First going through the gates “and close trade agreements, once relieved tensions in the relationship between the US and Cuba.

Phillips did not disclose the name of his new Cuban partner, but said an agreement was reached during a dinner the night before.

“We are impressed with the level of technology and expertise they have in health technology,” he said.

The first virtuous cycle of production of public software – Computerworld

During the year last year, after the publication of news on the share of the new version of CACIC code inventory system, coordinated by the Ministry of Planning, I began to reflect on the symbolic value of this action simple appearance [1 ]. It is not trivial to coat a covert act for simplicity by an amount opposite parametralmente. Understand the concept of the virtuous cycle can help me defend the relevance of CACIC experience, which turns 10 in June 2015.

Alvin Toffler in his book Revolutionary Wealth, points out that in the future wealth will be generated a completely different from the current form. He mentioned that “we live in a parallel, fascinating and unexplored economy, which filled many of our vital needs without paying for it” [2]. According to Toffler, “is the combination of the economy focused on monetary aspects – money – and to that focused on intangibles – knowledge – forming what we will call Wealth System”. The virtuous cycle of the production chain and the economy are part of the Wealth System defended by Toffler.

The first decision to explain the concept of virtuous cycle was to wait a year to publish this article. This decision was justified by the intention to monitor the effects and consequences of the government initiative, which always needs a longer time for analysis. The main concern of this suspensive effect is that the conceptual discussion would not suffer the embargo of a contractual problem, which could be a natural result of a collaborative production process, or technical, due to installation problems of a new system, that is, not wanted to contaminate an analysis of the business model for a problem of contractual or technical.

For the analysis of the aspects that make up the virtuous cycle, you must invoke the beginning of public software. There are several records on the internet about the importance of CACIC inventory system for the model public software [3] and some of them should be rememorados: this is the first software owned by the federal government which was made available to society with a free license and shared in accordance with the Brazilian legal prerogatives. It is the pioneer act to Dataprev- Enterprise Information Technology Social Security, when in 2005 released the system publicly to society.

Even then, the company’s decision in partnership with the Ministry of Planning , corresponded to the first aspect of the virtuous cycle, as a public good (for software), was shared model of permissive license for society, so could take advantage of this solution and create new opportunities in service delivery. The CACIC seems to bring luck to the model, because just from the experience of this “wise Indian” was also possible to register the first results of virtuous cycle.

Although the company is benefited in general with the release of software, the government itself can also take advantage of the result of collaborative production. Based on this principle develops the second aspect of the cycle. Another public entity, the Attorney General’s Farm-PGFN, interested in CACIC system, decided to operate a system installation to make the inventory of their park. When facing some technical difficulties and the need customization tool, the institution decided to hold a contraction for the provision of services in the market, which was terminated in 2011, at which time the contract was signed, exactly six years after the CACIC was published on the website of the Brazilian Public-SPB Software.

The Prosecutor’s decision opens a third aspect which is a direct administrative authority to look for a private service provider to accelerate the process of software development. It would also be something common to such engagement was not a major accounting change: it was not more than an investment for Public Administration, but a service. The investment is related to acquisition of an asset, which hired object is not part of the activities already funded and in the future should be appropriate to the government’s equity. The contracted service does not consist in the production of material assets, so will not be incorporated into the government equity directly.

While the second aspect is related to the provision of a public entity of a software to another, it would be to some extent a seemingly simple step, the third aspect of the cycle adds an important ingredient because we have a public good with the addition of the provision of private services, which by contract the result of the service will be added back to the very public environment , supported in Portal SPB. This means, as explained in the first aspect, that after the delivery of the new version of the public good software, the whole society turned out to be benefited by the result of the contracted service.

Two other relevant facts must be recorded in this contract performed by the Attorney. First the chosen modality was the electronic trading. An arrangement that has proven generated big savings for the government [4]. The second, and that caught the attention too, was attended by seven companies at the event, demonstrating a level of competitiveness for the provision of this service. The opposite scenario envisioned by the opponents of public software model, which defended the inability of the initiative generate competitiveness.

Only the two factors above could open a series of analyzes of public software model, for two best practices are employed forcefully: the mode of electronic trading and the multitude of suppliers. But here we treat them as side effects, since Article focus is the virtuous cycle.

The cycle enters its final phase when the Ministry of Planning in legal mechanism of Accession to the price Registration Act [5], decides to hire some service items for domestic consumption and for carrying out a far-reaching inventory for the administration itself. Then characterized a fourth aspect of the cycle, as the initial relationship between the contractor (PGFN) and the contractor (private company), there is a network operation, especially in this collaborative production practices, where a third one is benefited to use the new version of a shared solution.

A fifth aspect deserves special mention due to ecosystem management model CACIC community. From the beginning, the PGFN and the Ministry of Planning, held meetings to jointly define the requirements that are hired. This means that resources were allocated more rationally, saving to the public purse and, secondly, at the same time accelerated the development process, since these were defined incremental services together.

Important strengthen the open models do not require users to give back the developed upgrades. That is, the fact of PGFN and the Ministry of Planning MP-use CACIC and hire development services, does not require that the result of contractual effort to be shared. This means that those involved need to believe in the logic of virtuous cycle to ensure that the hiring and joint management mechanism manages full results for the whole community. This is an important accumulation profiles, as the institution becomes at the same time, system user and catalyst for collaborative production process.

When investigating the path of virtuous cycle, there is everyone involved in the process earn somehow. This phenomenon can be seen in the summary of the cycle: a software developed by a public company (Dataprev), had the beneficiary a direct administrative authority (PGFN), who sought services in the market (public notice) and the results favored the contracting agency (PGFN), parallel to the offeror (Dataprev) and the third party (Ministry of Planning-MP). Then the two public agencies after the combined action, started to benefit the whole society (CACIC community).

With regard to the economic aspect the public resource (PGFN and MP) was used for the benefit of the public sector itself (Dataprev) generated business opportunity in the market (contracted private company) and the result of the development was intended for the whole society (CACIC community), including the own service provider that could not even be part of the community.

In the end, still appears a sixth aspect: the initiative of the public sector at any time prevented other business opportunities were generated for the market. The central issue is the result of the ownership regime that is public, not private, where the own chain of ownership does not prevent new business opportunities arise, because the focus is not the product but the service. The important thing is that the next contract will consider the progress made in the previous contract. In this case, it is evident the characterization of a virtuous cycle.

It is observed that the six aspects reported here to be treated in isolation appear to have some novelty. However, when mentioned conjugate and interconnected way, clearly demonstrate the existence of a virtuous cycle that generates a commonly denomidada win-win relationship. An important component of this relationship is that this “gain” end exceeds directly involved in the process, because it is an intangible developed in the collaborative production.

So the public software closes its first cycle virtuous and puts into practice a concept addressed by Alvin Toffler theoretical and his wife Heidi, in the book Revolutionary Wealth, where the two discuss the future of Wealth System is the result of monetary aspects – set up by the contracting of services from the CACIC the market – and intangible aspects – the result of the production of the new version of the system was shared with all producers and users of the chain
