Galaxy Orange Samsung S3 with all options prices from zero euro

 

Looking at different options pages to buy a Samsung Galaxy S3 (16 GB) free has become clear that for less than 590 euros is hard to find. You'll probably find discounts and who does the FNAC if purchased by Internet or applying Movistar accumulated points but the only option to get it for little or no money is to hire a data plan like those offered by Orange .

If you go to the page web of Orange and pick the Galaxy Samsung S3 with portability from contract, the terminal you can go between 199 and 479 euros . The first price is achieved if the rate contracts Dolphin 79, 59 or 40, and the second price if you decide on the Squirrel 15. In any case, portability is always cheaper than free, unless you have accumulated many points Movistar or Vodafone. We'll give an example with Movistar . The non-discounted price for the Galaxy S III through this operator is of 637 euros . As you accumulate points and using them to purchase, you are discounting euros. Well, to get it for free would have to raise a whopping 300,000 points.
Free Option: Orange with The Phone House
These alternatives may have told you are not flashy enough so we've gone to The Phone House (TPH), which has its own deals with operators such as Orange. For example, we mentioned that the Squirrel 15, the price of S III contracted directly with Orange is 479 euros and yet stays in TPH 439 euros. This happens with all fees provided that the operator's hire orange through this distributor.

In addition, The Phone House offers an opportunity to acquire the free S3 Galaxy : hiring rate Dolphin 59 and Dolphin 79 (only portability from contract to contract and stay with the operator of 24 months and 18 at the rate selected). Why is this so? Simply because we are hiring rates for more expensive talk and surf Orange. The Dolphin 59 has a monthly fee of 69.62 euros, VAT included, and the Dolphin 79 to 93.22 euros. The first gives you 1,000 minutes per month and 750 MB free for navigation, and the second, 2,000 minutes with 1 GB to browse and 500 free SMS per month.

X-Ray, check your Android vulnerabilities

 

Android , operating system, has a number of advantages and very notable strengths but also some very negative, related to security. Not that the latest versions are safe, if you have Ice Cream Sandwich, or Jelly Bean, you can be more or less calm. The problem is that previous versions had many vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, older versions are still widespread. X-Ray is an application that has been developed to detect whether your phone is vulnerable.

One of the problems of X-Ray is his name, and title it shares with hundreds of applications that claim to be able to find X-ray shots of our body. We all know that these applications are not real and do not work. However, X-Ray , developed by Duo Security, is much more useful. It is like antivirus or conventional security applications, but is something that has a very different purpose, that of detecting if your device is vulnerable or not.

Older versions of Android, such as Gingerbread or Honeycomb, have security flaws that hackers exploit many experts to penetrate the system and obtain data that can be very private, such as certain photographs, messages, data access certain services, and even banking passwords. X-Ray aims to expose the vulnerabilities that have the devices so that, at least, if no solution, users are aware of what they have.
X-Ray is a free application, however, is not available in Google Play, so you will have to be downloaded directly from the developer page . To install, you should first go to Settings> Security> Unknown sources, and checking this box, which is what allows us to install applications that do not come from Google Play.

Amazon does not prevent the clash with Google and released "four five tablets soon" as a manager

No, Amazon does not amedranta with the launch of Google Nexus 7, which seeks niche now occupied by his tablet Amazon Kindle Fire. That is, if Google wants war, then war will be. This seems to think at the offices of the company with the largest online store.
And what is the response that prepares Amazon ? Well, as an officer of the company, what will happen is that in not much time "arrived between four and five tablets of Amazon to market" . There is nothing. Would you like soup? For two cups. So they spend Amazon, notice to mariners.
As is also reflected in MovilZona , it has been known also that the different ranges to be launched will be segmented with the tablet's screen size, which all indications are that there will be models 7, 8, 9.7 and 10.1 inches . Therefore, it "attacks" to all market segments and, thus, Amazon is positioned as one of the companies with the largest mobility. And, remember, which has its own application store and the operating system used is Android (tweaked by their developers, I must say, have been confirmed to have a new design and development headquarters in London, suggesting that the landing of the tablets from Amazon in Europe is imminent).

If this arrival is accompanied by prices as those offered by Amazon so far, that is tight and competitive , we have a serious rival to all existing companies, including Samsung and Apple.
What has not been able to confirm the arrival of the rumored phone from Amazon , which will almost certainly appear. But for now, nothing is confirmed. Anyway, this company is increasingly well positioned and, sure, that in less than a year lies between the four most important as far as mobility is concerned. Money has, and what you see, the attitude lacks.

Explore with Chrome and the Tate Modern in London "This exquisite woods"

In collaboration with the museum Tate Modern in London, launched an online art experiment called " This Exquisite Forest "(" This exquisite forest "), which allows them to collaborate with others to create animations and stories using drawing tools based on technologies web. Seven renowned artists in the collection of the Tate, including Bill Woodrow , Dryden Goodwin , Julian Opie , Mark Titchner , Miroslaw Balka , Olafur Eliasson and Raqib Shaw , have created a first animation or "seed" to start an exquisite forest . From these seeds , you can add new animations to extend the story or to make branch into a new direction. They could even start your own tree of stories with friends. The more sequences are added, the animations will grow in the form of trees , creating a potentially infinite number of outcomes for each animation.

Besides the website, an interactive installation will open on July 23 in the gallery Tate Modern Level 3. The trees initiated by the artists of the Tate, as well as the contributions of all form part of the exposure through large-scale projections. Visitors to the gallery can also contribute using digital drawing stations.

Customize your Blogger entries by permanent links

A few months ago we introduced a new package of SEO to help your blog entries and images are accurately indexed to display correctly in search results. Today we are pleased to introduce new functionality that allows them to customize their search preferences more effectively: the custom permalinks. When writing a post, Blogger automatically generates a permanent link based on the post title. So far, the authors of a blog had no control over the permanent link, ie on the web address of your publications. Custom permanent links offer more control over your blog and its entries. These new custom links also provide readers with more information about the entry while viewing search results.

To create your own URL for a specific entry, simply select "Custom URL" and enter the new URL in the field below. If you wrote the entry in July 2012, the new URL will look like:

www.nombredelblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/ URLCUSTOM . html

The part in bold ( URLCUSTOM ) is the portion of the URL that can be modified before posting your entry. This will allow them to include in the URL a few key words of the title that may not appear in the URL generated automatically. This may be more descriptive URLs that best represent the content of your post. If the custom permalink chose already exists, Blogger will seek one that is free, or may modify it yourself to make it unique. For now, the characters allowed in a custom URL are limited to: az. AZ, 0-1. The only special characters available include the underscore, the dash and period. can find more information about the custom permalinks our Help Center .

Forty years of satellite images of our planet

We are celebrating today the 40th anniversary of the Landsat satellite program . This program is the acquisition of satellite images of Earth with the longest continuous operation. Over the years, Landsat has collected petabytes of images, offering a historical perspective of change that our planet has undergone. This information can help researchers and independent nations, make informed decisions about their economic and environmental policies. In conjunction with the USGS and the Carnegie Mellon University , we are working to make parts of this huge collection of publicly available images form of sequential video (taken at time intervals) from the surface of the Earth . With them can travel through time, from 1999 to 2011 to see the transformation that has taken our planet. Will see changes such as deforestation of the Amazon, urban growth in Las Vegas or the difference between the snow country with the change of season. Below are some examples:

 

The sequential scan through the Amazon rain forest shows the spread of deforestation between 1999 (left) and 2011 (right). 

 

The rapid growth of Las Vegas, Nevada between 1999 (left) and 2011 (right) is visible on Landsat sequential scan. 

 

A seasonal sequence created using MODIS images , where each video frame represents one week, shows the differences between areas covered by snow in the U.S. between February and August 2002. 

We believe these are the largest video frames that have been created. If you could see the video in full resolution, a single frame would terapixeles 1.78, ie the equivalent of 18 football fields of screens placed edge to edge. In 2008 the USGS opened access to full Landsat archive for free . Google Earth Engine allows access to this information and makes it useful for scientists and people around the world. In the following video may learn more about the history of the Landsat program and how Google Earth Engine was used to process and analyze this huge archive of satellite images of the planet.

Landsat congratulate these 40 years. We are proud to make this coarse file available to the general public, and for deep analysis of scientists and policymakers around the world. Visit the site Google Earth Engine to experience all the interactive tours through the videos sequentially.
