YouTube Introduces Automatic Text Translation

YouTube introduced a new feature that displays the text of all the conversations in the videos automatically. One of the benefits of this feature to meet the needs of visitors deaf / deaf-mute in order to enjoy the full video. Text translation to be done with voice recognition technology is now used in Google Voice management services. Google said the feature will begin to apply this week.

However, for the new will be done on the videos of some of the canal from partners like PBS, National Geographic, and several prominent universities. Google promises to text translator's voice will be applied in the entire video with voice recognition technology improvements are developed.

Hundreds of thousands of videos that appear on YouTube today is already equipped with the text through the service provided. However, to use it must be done manually by the user and added myself to the body of the video. With the number of the incoming video, the current average of 20 hours of video every minute, most of the videos that appear on YouTube has no text.

Even so, Google has updated the manual translation feature that is now with auto timing menu. Users simply make a text file containing the text of all conversations in the video and sound machine translation will match it to appear. Such a move is expected to boost the amount of video that has text.

Found a Bug in Windows 7

This may be a slap to Microsoft, a day after announcing his Windows 7 as a risk-free in the Microsoft monthly security bulletin, a bug of Windows 7 (zero day exploits) immediately found. Laurent Gaffie is the latest bug was discovered. Details have been presented in the Full Disclosure mailing list. Microsoft is currently investigating the reported defects, which basically makes the system that exploited Windows 7 will crash.

This crash caused by a flaw in Server Message Block protocol (SMB) which form the backbone of the Windows file sharing. When triggered, defects will cause endless loop that makes the computer can not be used. This weakness is detected in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. But so far there has been no reports of attacks on vulnerabilities.

This weakness does not lead to remote access that is not legal that can cause important information theft or other malicious activity performed. One way to overcome this problem is to block TCP ports 139 and 135 to port 445, which will stop the SMB traffic from the network.

Google will Launch the Chrome OS for the Download

Operating system from Google search engine authority, Chrome OS, ready to be downloaded next week. Thus the gossip on the Internet. The bad news, though Google says it has worked with Acer, Adobe, Asus, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Toshiba on its OS Chrome, the number of devices that support earlier this operating system will be limited. According to TechCrunch, these limitations are due to the absence of support for basic components such as network interface hardware and graphics cards. As a result you will not be able to download the Chrome OS and run it on any machine.

Google initially said that the netbook that can run this OS will not be available to the public before the second semester of 2010. However, the code might be open (open source) in the coming weeks, as promised in Google Chrome Blog. Also Chrome web browser - Chrome should not be confused with the OS, despite the same name - will be coming to Apple machines in December.

Technology Minister Tarek Kamel Egypt, Monday, expects that it can be further popularized the use of the Internet in developing countries. With the existence and content of Arabic web address, internet strived to reach wider segments of society are more familiar with local culture.

"The Internet is now in Arabic," Kamel says in the opening like the Internet Governance Forum. According to him, the new domain is a very important moment for Egypt. New domain in Arabic is believed will attract investment, innovation and economic growth.

New Canon Camcorder to Record Night

Users must know the lack camcorder recorded video quality in low-light conditions. At night for example. Usually, the color appears to be inaccurate, over-exposed. "It's reduced, green and black," these weaknesses will not occur in two new Canon camcorder based flash memory card series Legria HFS11 and HF21. Because, there is a night scene is now more intelligent, the so-called smart night scene.

In extreme conditions, with lots of night lights, dark conditions (recorded) remains dark, but the contrast of light dimmed so as not to over-exposure. This new technology, a technology adapted from Canon EOS digital camera.

Thus, by activating the night scene, street lights, neon billboards, or the buildings that we recorded did not appear over-exposed. Then, what if you want to record a close-up in low-light conditions? Take advantage of video is also light and flash light built-in which there.

Another special thing is that there is at Dynamic HF21 OIS. Image stabilizer system on this camcorder using the ceramic ball. As a result, the balance moves the lens wider, so the tape is more stable and stay focused when there is interference from external shocks, such as the recorder was up or down stairs.

Instant AF technology combined with Face Detection and includes tracking AF / AE at any special HF21. This technology causes videographer not have to wait a long time to shift the focus from foreground to background or vice versa. Canon claims, the focus would have been locked in about 0.5 seconds.

HD camcorder with a CMOS sensor that carries 3.89 megapixel 15x optical zoom can also capture still images from video recordings frame by frame. Direct catches stored as JPG in the 2-megapixel resolution. The resolution of this catch is lower than the results when shooting still images HF21 functioned as a standalone digital camera, a 3.3 megapixel camera.

Which is also fun, camcorders that use SD card / SDHC with a maximum 32 GB and now equipped with 64 GB of internal memory, or twice the previous series. An additional underwater case can be paired for recording the activities under the water until the depth of 40 meters.

What about HFS11? Is there anything new in addition to features HFS11 (smart) night scene? For the specifications, no visible changes from HFS10. His image processor DIGIC DV III remains. HD CMOS sensor it was the same, 8.59 megapixels. So is the ability photographed with 8 megapixels, as well as its optical zoom of 10x.

New Generation from Spider Computer

In the future form of the computer may no longer like the desktop, not too flat like a notebook. Ericsson had a vision that computers should be more practical and can be held anywhere.  A leading manufacturer of telecommunications equipment from Sweden is called the computer's future as a spider computer. Spider is one of the computer technology that was developed in the project Ericsson Life in 2020. Prototype computer spider exhibits introduced in Taiwan Broadband last week. Elongated shape such as a glass. Computers are not equipped with keyboards and screens physically but virtually.

In one there is a laser projector that displays a virtual keyboard on the table. While on the other side there is a projector that displays images on the wall with a size of up to 30 inches. Unfortunately, this prototype has not yet battery life lasting. It also has not completed the connection to the internet connection. There is only memory card slot other than the CPU. However, the demonstration was enough to attract attention. Such computer concept is not new, but has not heard the news when a computer like this will be available in the market.

Ericsson is working to slim that the spider of a prototype computer made today. The computer will also use the three legs for support so quick like a spider. Its features will also be improved so that supports internet connections and a durable battery. Spider computers expected to be completed was developed and released to the market beginning in 2020. Today, Ericsson is conducting negotiations to seek cooperation with a number of producers the right to make it happen. This computer originally developed to supply the needs of poor countries but Ericsson alter its bow with researching the future of digital vision as a whole.
