Windows 8 new file system or to replace NTFS Protogon exposure



Although in today's All Thing Digital: D9 Conference, Microsoft first demonstrated Windows 8, including the new start page, two different types of applications and more suitable for touch-screen interface, but there are many things that still need our further mining, for example, to introduce the following file system Protogon.

It is used in Windows 8 will be a new file system, first found that the change of Sando Villinger IT World, said: "I found a hidden file system on the changes, but the current still not sure which seems to be a new file system driver, named 'NT Protogon FS driver', appears to be for a feature called 'Protogon' unknown file system kernel-mode drivers. "

Unfortunately, we currently can not determine the Protogon will replace the NTFS file system as the main or only a small subsystem.

In the version of Windows 8 have been leaked, we can see that, disk manager has been able to detect "Protogon" file, but through the chkdsk command can not detect the file. The only thing certain is that, "Protogon" file system is still in the development process.

Social networking 2.0, who will replace Facebook?



If anyone predicted that Facebook would one day rule the Internet, I will be reported to the dismissive attitude. Review the statements before them, they must have predicted Yahoo and Google have the same future. All predictions about the Internet, only one is always right: The waves pushed before.

Facebook giant will not be forever, it is only the pioneer of social networking. One day it will be the impact of the next generation of social networks, and then gradually decline and eventually die, just like on paper as the media industry is about to encounter.

David Fincher's The Social Network coined Facebook's business history, the plot full of tension, but it is why they can not get the Oscar for Best Picture? The reason is that it is irrelevant. Facebook does not represent social networks. Just like you'll never run into a bakery called the bakery, and will not drink coffee brand coffee refreshing. If you think that Facebook social network is your dream, it would be wrong. Crotch like a horse you think to be a joke T-Ford car is the same as short-sighted scrap pile.

The next generation of social networking look like? Want to answer this question, you need to analyze the shortcomings of existing social networks and the development bottleneck, and trying to creatively solve them. Standing on the shoulders of giants to see further.

Social network analysis, focusing on two elements: information pooling and dissemination of nodes. Information pool which means the user can access to information resources; means of information dissemination node to the recipient by the publisher of information between the communicator.

Facebook itself is a large information pool, but no one can access this great information on the full pool. This large information pool is full of the intersection of numerous small pools filled with information, communication nodes exist in the intersection of the complex into.

As a user, you can access to the information from your friends information about the composition of the small pool. But the fact is we are exposed to a wide variety of information, the publisher of the information is often strangers. This information comes from a large information pool of other small information pool. This is the role of communication nodes, a large information pool, it makes the whole flow of information together, to avoid islands of information.

This setup similar to real life, for you would not be in direct contact information, you can only come to understand through the information carrier. Traditional way to obtain such information, often only transmitted through a node, such as search engine or portal media. The Facebook allows you to get through the multi-level information dissemination node, so that the information you have access to exponential growth.

Facebook set up a simple and complex information flow system. This little information there is no separate pool, and no separate communication nodes, the disorder is full of information Facebook. This setup also Faceook brought fatal flaw: the flow of information interfere with each other, they can not be sorted and important information can not be rendered useless information often fill the entire space. Crowded space so that you often neglect the flow of time, endless (and your business) and new information that you can not stop reading. This is the Facebook social way.

Those who are tired of the bombing of the user information, for an easy way to use Facebook: games.39% of users on Facebook to play the social game , 15% of users to play games non-social class (nothing to do with your friends.) Disorderly conduct information allows users to no purpose, Facebook's newsfeed system trapped in a mist in which the user. The nature of social interaction, a necessary condition is to have interactive events allow people to whom the core of the discussion.

And chaotic information directly led to the lack of interaction between Facebook users, each user an average of 120 Facebook friends, but only 10 of which there is interaction between friends [1]. But it seems the interaction between users, Facebook does not let us become a better social life, or even only make it worse (yes, you take the time to participate in Party on Facebook a).

Twitter is not strictly a social network, its exact location is personalized media. Twitter partial solution to the problem of information pool, allowing users to take the initiative to master the information. Facebook to establish rules for small pool of information is your friends decision information, Twitter is the information to decide who you should follow. However, this method can not be completely copied into the social network.

Twitter also a lack of interaction between users of the problem, 32% of users do not follow anyone, 51% of users do not have any follower, What is more, 75% of the information is from 5% of the users (which is 5% of users personal representatives of the media). Perfect solution if the flow of information between users, interference and lack of interaction of these two issues, the next generation of social networking on the ready to come out.

As the representative of the Facebook social network based on acquaintance networks to build the whole person-centered social network, the core functions of information dissemination and sharing. Customer loyalty depends on the information provided in which the value of the information pool.

The next generation of social networks should look like?

First, it should not be based solely on the acquaintances network, users should develop social relationships through it, not just to build relationships online and then mapped to the next line. Its information pool should not be haphazard, and the organizational structure should exist in the pool of unrelated information between two independent, the information flow without interference. Information organization and really should not be done by the user to (such as Twitter, and Facebook Create a List function has not yet introduced the only concern the user to specify friends Newsfeed function), but should be completed by the system to eventually provide to the user is the result of organization.

It should also limit communication node, users need to get valuable information, but can not be allowed to drown in the trivial overseas adventures and living the message in the ocean. Most importantly, it allows users to interact effectively, and promote interaction between people is the highest social networking program.

Although Facebook has not yet left for the delay replacement, I still think that social networking will be the future leaders of the Internet, is difficult to have a service which will exceed it. The reason is simple, human desire to live, the first need is land, then the infrastructure. If this land is the Internet, it is a social networking infrastructure. People-oriented service will never be out of date.

Incredible Zynga took market share from 39% in 2010



Able to increase his lead over other leading market shares, based on the success of the city and the town of Farmville, and the search for new IHS Screen Digest Zynga. Consumer spending on PC games Zynga social networks and their income from advertising and lead generation activities of 544 million U.S. dollars in 2010, making it a 39.1 percent share in the global market, 4.2 percentage points more than in 2009.

New data shows Netflix: T in CAPS Not That generous After All

AT T said its broadband subscribers to use an average of only 18 GB of data per month, if the 125 GB cap announced earlier this year, spokesman Mark Siegel said the cap, but generous. But the new network management specialist Sandvine this week a group of question on your pink hat.

Sandvine, said in a report Fri Rising Netflix (PDF), Netflix has an average user consumes about 40 GB of data transfer per month. It seems, however, consumption should be considerably higher if you can get Netflix HD streams from the connected equipment is used. Owners finger Microsoft Xbox 360, including current users to use Netflix on Xbox 360 80 GB of data per month on average.
Sorry, we're not just talking about some important players with Netflix, interdependence: Some 25 percent of traffic on the game console Netflix is ​​consumed, according to Sandvine flow by 33 per cent of all Xbox 360 consoles with Netflix content. One has to wonder how many Xbox owners are ready to love Netflix Hit T cover band with his next movie marathon.

Netflix Sandvine traffic, even when compared to alternative sources of bandwidth consumption, noting that the subscription video service, now uses almost 30 percent of the maximum width of North America and on BitTorrent as a major source of traffic in North America.

In view of lines of context in mobile ad



Mobile Advertising in games is a bit 'more annoying to consumers, banner ads, which try to prevent the property value. But the start-ups are now looking for opportunities for in-game advertising to not interrupt the flow of action in order to find, but not yet a solution for advertisers that their messages. Last month, I Kiip with natural breaks of the game when people enter the real world of rewards to offer.

Touch me, mobile advertising start-ups, pop-up ads now are the first brand to sponsor Redbox. This is a good example of how mobile ads are needed to do something for the environment, which interact and benefit from the momentum of change.

Touch Me doing what is permitted and includes brands sponsor the games, allowing users want to go faster, have better health and more energy to enter the replay, under the sign. When to call the game object publisher (preferably based on the increase of energy as something of Gatorade), is much more relevant ads.

It also increases the effort, said that studies have shown that the initial discharge players selected this year sponsored power-ups, up to 20 percent of playing time, to advertise my game shows in particular, because besides the half. As well, developers, suppliers and all users start to make sense.

Hit me makes occasional users to send messages to advertisers in the game is more control and allows users to continue to reward. Gamer, which in turn can share their salaries with their friends and Facebook and Twitter.

Should be in the game of advertising and only if the game offers incentives for its development. Now, Apple has begun to close the door to the conclusion that the incentives for plants to use other applications, in exchange for virtual goods, property developers to achieve the revenue from these campaigns turn to other instruments, including exhaust and Kiip me permits.

I think this is a new tool to do a good reminder that the king is in the context of mobile telephony, and extends to advertising, too. Users can use the experience more traffic, which is more effective.

So far, Touch Me, built in games like Kitten Cannon IOS Retro Revolution 2 and witches. No one knows exactly how many RedBox, known for its DVD kiosks to be built in some games, but probably will draw offers the rental of video games for the future.

Touch Me needs more development and branding, but I think it is good to take on the advertising of mobile games. This shows that mobile ads to a high innovative potential for more songs ..

Rumor: Microsoft to buy Nokia?

One of the most important items: Microsoft Nokia, the most prolific producer of mobile phones around the world, although now accepted by Apple's revenue from mobile phones.

The voice comes from the Russian blogger Mutazin Eldar, has the form suggested the negotiations last year between Nokia and Microsoft Windows Mobile, Symbian and Nokia wants to keep all the rigorous thought - since abandoned. Nokia has also quoted in July 2010 that it was some time with their hands on the new Nokia kits - something he was not happy. (The application needs to know.) Of course, he is in contact in the Finnish society.

He predicted that kills the brand Ovi (online store) - the company has opened its doors on Monday. Once again, suggested that the current CEO Stephen Elop (formerly Microsoft as a reminder) leaves at the end of 2012. Stretching our credulity, to be honest, I do not Elop to us as a man who leaves half the job. And even if the monitoring of sales of Microsoft, a new division of cells, is not it time to stop.

Nokia communications director Mark Squires Netherlands Twitter, generally can not comment on rumors. But to say that the Eldar voices are far less clear at all times. What you call the negation of negation can not. Not that this is false. It 's easy to comment on the general form of voices, Eldar.

Assuming, then, assuming that this item is true, as Microsoft has to do more than pay? Nokia's market capitalization is 32 billion dollars (£ 19.7bn), and decreased by 44 billion U.S. dollars in the days before Microsoft tieup Nokia. It looks like from the beginning of the year:

Microsoft stack of money? $8bn dollars to buy Skype, only 32 billion dollars. Hey, the same number! But surely the prize for cell division, non-profit, unlike other branches of Nokia - Maps Navteq company with the disappearance of small losses (-. €62m €262m in sales in the first quarter loss €225m 142 M € to € $ 3.1 last quarter, the loss of 602 € is - on turnover of € 1 billion last year) and the telephone network with Nokia Siemens Networks, which losses are very large (€ 12.6 billion in sales last year.)

Navteq earlier about 25% and a profit of 5% NSR. But NSN loses more.

If Microsoft buys cell division, calms down a huge statue of the shareholders of Nokia, which are two trade pretty useless - NAVTEQ's business model is offered by Google, which offers free cards for mobile phones and the NSN is chewed by Huawei and Ericsson. You can try to sell them, but the reality is that Navteq is depressing and valleys NSN cell division, and not explode. Without it, Nokia is a bit 'more useful, at least from cell division to generate profits and cash.

We expect to manage cash and stock. But this would require more than Microsoft stock to be issued, and that the stock price even more stress to what has already, and leads to the shareholders of Microsoft - is the pain, because it is used to advertise the parties in the last ten years - to scream even louder. If Steve Ballmer was seen in all make mistakes, called it the last straw. Well, I hope not.

Yes, it would be much more strategic point of view, the main supplier of Skype for smartphones in the world (24 million vs. 18 million in Apple, but Apple has more revenue from mobile phones - and so is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones sale, but not the size) will be a powerful combination.

What is a dramatic reversal of the practice that Microsoft has more or less since its inception: the creation of software, you can create other software, hardware. But with the Xbox (J Allard insisted) is finished, the Zune music player (with less success, it is interesting, the proposal Allard).

Microsoft as a product of society? Stranger things have happened - like Apple from the dead. If you continue to watch with fascination. The United States government? (Probably.) If the Finnish government? (Difficult.) Nokia employees in Finland? (Very difficult).

And, of course, others in this entry will never become obsolete. Stephen Elop will and Ballmer did not want to waste time and picked up by this statement in detail. Just look.

a super-fast broadband access, 90 percent of the British in 2015

Ninety per cent of the UK has a high-speed broadband in 2015, Jeremy Hunt, said the culture secretary. Mr. Hunt said that the high rate of two megabits per second (Mbps) will be available nationally by 2015, but 90 percent of households and businesses high-speed 25 Mbps or better. He said he was in London when you press the growth of broadband capacity, which we in Britain in the World Fast Lane.

The government said that Poland is the best broadband networks in Europe in 2015. She believes that the market will have a speed of broadband access to provide about two-thirds of the country, but the last third of the contribution. To this end, to 530 million pounds to expand the council and local partnerships for projects in the broadband sector.

He said Hunt, who have money and know-how to get there. Now local authorities have strengthened the Board and present their plans and their offerings at this level of ambition. Alex Buttle, director of broadband, compare Top10.com say? , And 'certainly a positive step, but it is realistic, we know about the examination of the application rate in U.S. dollars, in England, there are large differences in broadband speeds one street to another. 

Typical download speeds of 20 Mbps as a super fast, but at the moment, with the help of only 9.6% of the speed test of proof in the last 30 days, the typical broadband speeds faster than 20Mbps, while the Our average download speed in Britain is just 8.14Mbps. The primary purpose of government is a minimum speed of 2 Mbps to ensure the country in 2012. Last summer, led the goal in 2015.

Around 8 million Britons are not yet online at all, some concern because of limited access to the Internet, but also the cost or the belief that nothing online that might be interested in starting this week, Martha Lane Fox, sample Digital UK has announced plans for government-sponsored network of 100,000 volunteers to create and educate people on the Internet for the first time.

4G networks will be faster, but even with capacity problems, says Ofcom

Next-generation mobile Internet, 4G, productivity is increased by 200 percent 3G, OFCOM said. will be much more from their mobile phones in the UK, social networking, maps, e-mail and video, additional capacity, said Ofcom.

First 4G networks are expected in 2013. Dr. Stephen Unger, Ofcom Chief Technology Officer, stated that he commissioned the study of the first 4G wireless network with the default settings are 3.3 times (230%) more effective than standard rates for 3G networks.

E 'in the request for 4G network, video in almost a third of the time, relieve the burden now, but Ofcom noted that: productivity growth in the range of cells is not sufficient to promote growth in demand. He says, topology - the make-up stations that the network signal - is increasingly important to meet demand in densely populated areas. Ben Roome, communications company Nokia Siemens Networks, said: ..

It is not just about speed, the delays in 3G networks - there are many, and the call between the phone and the network, if you want something to 4G difference is that the delay much smaller. ;

He added that many other countries have already succeeded in 4G network functionality and user experience much better performance. I really behind the rest of the world, here, he said. Earlier this week, Ofcom said it wanted to mobile phone users, the bills were higher than expected, you have missed.

The regulator is also testing the fixed network and broadband accounts to determine if the services they need to warn against the unexpected costs. Ofcom said its research showed that last year 6 percent of telephone bills of customers who receive more than expected, and the fifth in the project were at least 100 pounds more than expected.

The use of this wealth of sensitive data is controversial. Last month, he apologized to TomTom NV, a maker of navigation devices for cars, equipment sales, data from the Dutch government, which means that the radar.

; Not provide this kind of service, said Harold Goddijn CEO of TomTom. He said the company does not know a thing [our] customers, and measures to address this type of use in the near future to stop;. Insurance Run type, location and other data that you agree to the driver.

This month, Octo entered the U.S. market, signing in Seattle, Safeco Insurance, a member of Liberty Mutual Group, first as a customer. Even the shopping malls and retailers will start to play in the position

Path Intelligence Ltd. UK has launched a unique identifier, as part of regular communication between the buyer and make mobile phones and network operators and uses the information to the routes of its stores and shopping malls.

The importance of local data has increased over the past five years, other devices such as smart phones and cars with Global Positioning System technology to identify and to be embedded in another place. And the location capabilities of mobile phones are required to comply with the Federal Communications Commission in order to improve services 911. In autumn 2012, the mobile network, the majority of 911 calls to find at least 100 meters.

We see that the vehicle on the road at that speed, the system of coordinates, we can calculate that it is not possible. The collection of data on the location of mobile devices is also beneficial for law enforcement.

U.S. Marshals Service, for example, service providers routinely ask for phones to help them understand the information on the location of wireless telecommunications tower in the investigation, in accordance with the Directive in 2010. used to eliminate the need to justify the GPS coordinates to a specific phone, but data on the location of cellular towers is not responsible if your phone is connected to ongoing investigations. , Location information is a priority for refugees and violent crimes from many sources, including mobile phones, said Donahue received prison Lynzey, Marshals Service spokesman.
