United States and China formed a working group to address issues of cybersecurity

http://i.imgur.com/OVF0njo.jpg

Wars are not fought only on the battlefield, but also at the computer. In the case of having a low security level, a computer can be hacked easily and critical data or information could end up in the wrong hands. In recent months, two great nations of the world as are the United States and China have been working, every man for himself, to solve their problems of cybersecurity, although it has been announced that from now on the two countries will have a group computer panel composed of both sides .
John Kerry, the U.S. secretary of state, said during a recent visit to Beijing the agreement between the two nations to work together. In turn, through this alliance, it should end the endless accusations of attacks by both countries. The foreign minister of China has also made a similar statement to that of Kerry, confirming the news.
In the past, U.S. media have accused China of launching attacks against American country, while the Chinese media have indicated the opposite: that attacks U.S. is China. We now hope that the tension decreases with this new project.

The government wants a free public network of high-speed WiFi

 http://i.imgur.com/lMGd6ML.jpg

The Federal Communications Commission of the United States has proposed creating a massive WiFi network that will give almost all citizens free access to a wireless Internet connection and high speed. The plan already has the support of giants like Google and Microsoft, while corporations like AT&T, Verizon and others that provide Internet services are not really disagree with the idea for obvious reasons.

This super WiFi network forever end mobile Internet plans and probably for homes, and that all people have access to a national network with speeds of 20MB / s.

For this network can be created, the government would need to use a portion of the signal of radio and television, which certainly will not happen if there is no money involved.

It would be great if this kind of ideas were implemented in other countries and not only in the United States.

Apple abandons claims against the Galaxy S III Mini

http://i.imgur.com/spEYF.jpg

We're on the last day of the year and likely Apple wants to start the next on the right foot, while also adding a little rest to his lawyers. What do you see the lawyers? As the company has decided to withdraw the patent claims made ​​against the Galaxy S III Mini for Samsung . It seems that both parties have agreed on this and have decided to leave the matter behind.
After Samsung announced that the S III Mini not be sold in the United States, the largest market for Apple, apple gladly withdrew its complaint.
Neither Samsung nor Apple or their representatives have agreed to make comments. For now we are just two possibilities: first, it is possible that Apple and Samsung have finally signed a peace agreement, which frankly does not seem to be the case, and on the other hand just have a little distraction, a pause in the war patent between the two companies to resume it in the future, which is what many believe is happening.
What do you think?
