The final farewell to Hotmail

That's right, today officially from Hotmail longer exists as a service. From now on your name is Outlook.
On Thursday, Microsoft ended the migration of users of Hotmail accounts to their new service. Now the new platform of e-mail accounts of the company has over 400 million users.
What the giant software aim of this change is that the user has a better experience with the service, so that the comments and suggestions received in recent months were taken into account to achieve an improvement in service. Dick Craddock, one of the leading makers of Outlook, said they plan to make the new email platform the best in the world and achieve more than 1000 million users, but obviously this is a very long term goal.
In February, the number of accounts in Outlook was 60 million why Hotmail was still in use, and that there were about 350 million accounts still active.

A hacker says he can enter any Google Glass

For several days ago I mentioned that a hacker had managed to do a jailbreak to your Google Glass. Jay Freeman (pictured), better known as Saurik, the one who carried out the task and then published some few details about how he had managed to avoid stating the security of Google. At bottom, the Glass glasses are an Android device based on the Linux kernel, can run on all Android devices running frequent, and of course their safety can be traversed easily if you have the necessary knowledge so that we can modify many of its functions. An example of this happens with the videos: the default Glass only record 10 seconds of video, but if we can modify the code that record as long as the user wants it.
Besides revealing this, Saurik also said something that has attracted much attention. He says he is able to hack any device Glass and even install a software tracking record everything we see and hear. The only thing he could not know about us is what crosses our mind.
That sounds pretty scary, right? Hopefully Google realizes this problem before the Glass into mass production.
