What does NASA on December 21?

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


Several days ago, as you know, we were talking about a current issue: on December 21, 2012. For many it is a mere delusion, for others it is a reality. But obviously to say that the end of the world or a similar catastrophe will happen next Friday, we need evidence. Does scientific evidence that will happen X phenomenon that affect our planet? No, there is no such evidence, or at least that's what NASA says, the U.S. space agency known. Through its website, and for as many days, NASA has responded to the most common questions people often ask about this famous date looming and growing rumors about the end of time, the 3 days of darkness, etc..
What NASA responded to the million dollar question? Like we said, the answer was no, the world does not "end" this December 21. The Earth has been around for 4,000 million years and will continue to exist for a few more no doubt. The end of the world, if mankind does not destroy itself first, will result in about 5,000 million years when the sun becomes a red giant, rampaging with Mercury, Venus and probably the Earth in the process, and to save our world, anyway be an uninhabitable planet then.
If anyone is wondering about Nibiru, also called Planet X, for even their existence is proven, so the world does not come to an end due to the course of this fictional planet rapprochement which reportedly had to have come to Earth in 2003, but as nothing happened, someone took the trouble to relate it to the end of the Long Count calendar of the Maya, which we know ends after tomorrow.
Regarding the blackout and the 3 days of darkness, the scientists and engineers at NASA do not seem more than stories. Nor is there any kind of evidence that we have to live 72 hours in the dark. It also rules out a supposed universal planet alignment since no alignments laid up in a couple of decades.
What about the reversal of Earth's magnetic field? Many websites claim that the Earth's field is affected by the rotation of the same phenomenon that supposedly occurs irregularly. Scientists say that this does not happen for a few thousand years, and if happen, would not affect life on Earth.
Of course, no shortage of meteorites. Often, small rocks enter the Earth's atmosphere and disintegrate there, while some few make it to the surface. The last big impact was that Earth suffered more than 60 million years, and because of that today we can not have dinosaurs as pets. For 2012 there are no major anticipated impacts will have to see what happens next year or in a couple of centuries.
Many say that solar storms could affect the planet. Solar activity is regular and has its peak every 11 years or so. During these peaks, the solar wind can cause disruptions in communications satellites, but engineers are already using the technology to handle this. There is no risk that a solar flare will destroy the Earth as seen in the movie Knowing (Signs of the Future / Countdown). The peak of solar activity for this cycle will be approximately between 2013 and 2014, but it will not be unusual compared to previous peaks.
The situation is more than clear. There is no proof or scientific evidence to prove that any of the mentioned phenomena will exist. For the space agency, are nothing but baseless theories circulating on the Internet, on TV, in books, etc..
If you want to see the NASA site with questions and more details can follow the link that says "Source" at the bottom.
What do you think? Do you think that NASA tells the truth about December 21 or that he is cheating?

Cool USB sticks paper



There is a company that seems determined to increase the recycling of paper combined with the technology of a memory stick.
Intellipaper is that company, and they have developed a system for creating flash drives from different paper products such as business cards, newsletters propaganda postcards.What the company is to surround a silicon chip in several layers of paper, then these layers are laminated and finally printed thereon the "footprints" USB conductive so that they are connected to the chip. Then we have our new USB memory made of paper.
Should be launched commercially, USB sticks paper will be put on sale in June 2013.

Facebook plans to monetize Instagram



Since Instagram Facebook acquired many months ago, many have wondered if the social network world No. 1 plans to get all the juice you can to the known application. The idea did not take advantage of Instagram would be something crazy, since it has a huge number of users.
And of course no one at Facebook is crazy, so if you plan to monetize Instagram, but still are not sure how. I mean, not that I know how to do, but have not yet chosen a strategy. Most likely, obviously, is that those using Instagram start seeing lots of ads and popups possible even with more propaganda, depending if we connect from the PC or from a mobile. Of course it is also likely that the idea of ​​Facebook is totally different.
Currently, strategies abound, Facebook only has to find one.

The Sony Yuga Snapdragon S4 chip will use a Pro



About the Sony Yuga and we talked on several occasions . This new phone will be part of the storm of smartphones that come to us next year.
Recently, in a leak, have confirmed some minor additional details on mobile. For starters, it is confirmed that the chip has a Snapdragon S4 Pro, which as we have seen will be a quad-core CPU at 1.5GHz. Besides this, the Yuga, which incidentally have a Full HD screen of 5 inches, will also include a 2330mAh battery and the model number is SW-02E.
The images we see are also top of the phone, although I had seen before.
For now, that's all the additional details that have leaked from Yuga. If you expect any official confirmation from Sony, then surely we can learn more at CES 2013 or MWC later than 2013.

Dell stops opt for Android and Windows 8


The Dell World conference this year took place several days ago in the city of Austin. During that period, Dell unveiled its plans for the market of smartphones, tablets and devices mobile in general.
Neither mobile nor Dell tablets are out of the ordinary, we must admit, and the company has not had many sales in the sector. Still, the company plans to make a platform change and move to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
This was announced at this conference, where Dell said it will create tablets and phones with Android operating system and instead, as stated above, use operating systems Microsoft .
Jeff Clarke, Dell vice-president, says his company failed to find the right business model for Android. However, the hardware was fairly criticized Dell mobile level, so we have to see that this time the company develops. Will overtake Nokia, probably the biggest competitor WP level?

UK is now the leader in mobile phone use



The UK has become one of the world's leading market for mobile phones . Those living in this unitary state consume more traffic on their phones and tablets than any other nation in the world according to a report from Ofcom.
The UK uses 424MB of data each month, an increase of 60% over last year. Japan is second with 392MB per month while the U.S. takes sixth place with 319.
In addition, Ofcom has also seen UK residents spend on average 728 minutes online each week, a little less than 746 minutes last year.
This sudden increase in just one year will likely be because more and more users access to watch TV over the Internet. In addition, according to the Financial Times, one in five people in the UK has its own tablet.
Another of the strengths of RU is the use given to users on their mobile social networking and online purchases are made through mobile devices.

The Pentagon will create a phenomenal wireless network


Networks such as 3G, WiMax or LTE by giving examples, not enough for the U.S. military.They are looking for an even faster network that could be used by troops in the coming years. As they say, if you want something done right, do it yourself.
The Pentagon has made ​​that statement very seriously, which is why one of its agencies,DARPA known, will create an ultra fast wireless network that is much faster than optical fiber networks that we use today.
How fast? Well, with a speed of 100Gbps. As a comparison, the current LTE networks have a speed of 0.03 Gbps, so insurance we can get an idea.
But this does not end here, because the idea is to have a high speed data transmission even over long distances, say 200 miles between two planes and about 100 miles between aircraft and ground vehicles.
The biggest problem: time. This new network must be able to operate in any weather, be it snow, rain, sun, amid a sandstorm, etc. The only way to achieve this is to use radio frequencies because the other wireless technologies do not have the required scope or need an unobstructed path.
Currently, the military network is secure TCDL reaching a speed of 10.7 Mbps at distances of 200 km, which is not enough.
Will have to see what happens to the DARPA invented for this new project.

HTC mobile stop WP develop over 5 inches



According to sources familiar with the guys from HTC have opted to stop making large smartphones that run Windows Phone.
What is the reason behind this? Well due to the maximum screen resolution that supports Windows Phone, which is 1280 × 720 pixels, which as we know is equivalent to an HD resolution. Apparently, HTC believes that this resolution is too low to smartphones over 5 inches, which have to compete with Android models that support a higher resolution thanks to the great technology of the OS. As a comparison, the HTC Droid DNA (J Butterfly) is an Android with 5-inch screen with full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels).
Another possible reason is the numbers, because HTC is not doing very well lately, and its market share has dropped a bit, so you probably want to focus on what matters most to consumers: Android.
Comment: Can Windows Phone models, with 5-inch screen and HD resolution, racing mobile Android of equal size but with full HD?
