3D Tvs – not that breaking point in the U.S.
by Milota Sidorova


Although 3D TV sets were among top ten Japanese products that got the biggest sales in 2010, U.S. wasn't ready for that. The results come out after consumers simply avoid of buying new TVs during Christmas season. Decreasing demand was immediatelly reflected on markets were stocks of Best Buy Co dropped nearly 15 percent. Of course that angered investors who were seeking the explanation – why were the real numbers so different from perspective projections? Well it seems that it needs more than the razor thin screen to attract the customer. Some analysts say that many consumers have just bought their first flat widescreen and were not willing to buy another one. Not ev! en in the case it would be 3D. People were not just used to have this kind of watching experience – so for that reason the timing was wrong. The other reason may be also the fact people need 3D glasses to be able to watch – and while it is a funny, new experience for some, many people get dizzy wearing them for longer time. It is not natural to see blurry pictures all around. So far the largest U.S. electronics chain cut its full-year profit and become cautious towards 3D Tvs. But it maybe just for now. There is no doubt that a general demand and sales will increase after 3D broadcast will appear long enough in the movies. Cinemas have already been hitten by the wave of 3D movies and if film makers increase the number of movies based on this technology and eliminate traditional movies, there is no doubt people will get used to it and buy new types of TVs.

Ľadová búrka zasiahla východ Spojených štátov.
by Milota Sidorova


Vlna ľadovo chladného vzduchu, ktorá v posledných dňoch sužovala centrálnu časť Spojených štátov sa pomaly presúva smerom na východ, Snehová metelica, čo na chicagskom letisku zastavila viac ako 1575 letov a uzatvorila viacero významných diaľníc v Minnesote, Južnej a Severnej Dakote, Iower a Michigane včera v noci zasiahla región okolo ontárijského jazera, Ohia, Pennsylvanie a štátu New York. Pomaly postupujúca búrka sprevádzaná závejmi a ľadovým vetrom zablokovala cesty a diaľnice aj v tomto regi! 3;ne – nepríjemnú noc v ľadových autách strávilo viac ako 300 vodičov. Ich autá ostali v zápche a snehu asi 65 míľ od Detroitu a po takmer 25 hodinách ich vyslobodili až armádne autobusy a helikoptéry. Vďaka studenému počasiu boli dnes zatvorené stovky škôl, mnohé z tých, ktoré ostali v prevádzke začínali deň až neskoro predpoludním. Záveje a nízke teploty prinútili uzavrieť aj niekoľko horských rekreačných centier v okolí. Počasie si v tomto regióne nevyžiadalo žiadnu obeť ani zraneného, hoci v predchádzajúcich dňoch si v iných častiach krajiny vyžiadalo už 16 mŕtvych. Niektoré diaľnice ostali uzatvorené aj v štáte New York – v utorok popoludní boli z prevádzky vyr! adené dve hlavné diaľnice popri meste Rochester! . Letisk o, ktoré bolo snehom taktiež zasiahnuté, však nezmenilo svoju prevádzku. Hoci sa na pristávacích dráhach udržala vrstva kompaktného snehu, všetky lety prebehli podľa plánu. Výhliadka nie je veľmi optimistická – meteorológovia predpovedajú sneženie – v utorok by malo pribudnúť asi 10 palcov snehu a v ďalších dňoch by to malo byť až do dvoch stôp novej pokrývky. Masa studeného vzduchu sa pohla smerom na východ, avšak časť zasiahla hlboko na juh, pričom dosiahla územie Floridy – tradične subtropického štátu. Tamojší farmári už teraz varujú, že dlhotrvajúca ľadová zima ohrozí budúcoročnú úrodu teplomilných plodín.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 – not in time, not in mood.
by Milota Sidorova


There´s been a lot of buzz about internet privacy, since WikiLeaks got a global attention pointing out this problem – however, it seems to grab some interest even among the biggest corporations. Microsof for example suggested its upcoming Internet Explorer 9 would let users add lists of sites to prohibit their access to follow user´s behavior. But the step itself has resulted in a critical discussion about the „privacy“ at all – it´s been a fact that most of browsers let a third party websites track down users who don´t give a clue of being followed. Non tech-savvy people seldom realize they are objects of numerous marketing re! searchers or that their personal data are being sold to a great amount of such companies. Sometimes it can be a kind of strange to realize that all those numerous ads are popping out and have the same content as a person´s interest. Well, this is just one small evidence of the process in the background – this happens with ads on Google, Gmail or Facebook, just to mention few. Now Microsoft sounds its fluorish that IE will prevent the sites from tracking the user. However, no more details have been given, Microsoft for example didn´t respond a question whether user will be able to block all sites or there will be an exception for Microsoft sites. Users are criticall in case of IE that has an image of black hole for all undesired advertising, pop ups and caches. And it´s been a fact that IE has had decreasing popularity between browsers where Mozilla Firefox is regarded as the safest one. According to some critics, most of IE users would not use the ne! w feature due lack of technological knowledge and the whole ca! mpaign m ay fail to meet the target, since IE has more problems and less to offer in current situation – speaking frankly, one „privacy feature“ is not going to save a complicated and inefficient product. To sum all of this – it is generous that a company theoretically let us to decide who may and who may not track us down, but let me ask the question – shouldn´t that be done automatically? Shouldn´t we get a protection from the very beginning? So why do I smell this absurd „glorious“ tune in Microsoft´s attitude?

Nový, bezpečnejší Internet Explorer 9... ach, jaj!
by Milota Sidorova


Odkedy WikiLeaks prerazili mediálne embargo, zdá sa, že téma internetovej ochrany je stále viac aktuálnejšia – rezonuje medzi najväčšími firmami a zdá sa, že je in cez túto tému predávať staro-nové produkty. Vezmime si napríklad Microsoft, ktorý nedávno ohlásil, že najnovšia verzia jeho prehliadača Internet Explorer 9 bude mať zabudovaný mechanizmus, ktorý dovolí užívateľovi vytvoriť zoznam web stránok, ktoré by ho v budúcnosti nemali sledovať. Ale správa, ktorá mala vyvola&! #357; azda vlnu obdivu, vyvolala na fórach skôr kritickú diskusiu o bezpečnosti na sieti, ako takej. Nuž, je faktom, že mnoho technicky neznalých užívateľov (ktorých je drvivá väčšina) ani netuší, že sú počas pripojenia neustále sledovaní. Sledujú sa zoznamy navštívených stránok, počty navštívení a preferencie – to isté sa deje aj s osobnými údajmi. Cez Google, Gmail alebo Facebook sú predávané tretím stranám – najčastejšie marketingovým spoločnostiam alebo poisťovniam, ktoré ich nielen uchovávajú, ale svoje kampane zakladajú práve na týchto informáciách. To všetko sa samozrejme deje bez znalosti užívateľa, ktorý si najčastejšie všimne, že vyskakujúce pop u! p reklamy majú podivne zhodné zameranie s jeho vlast! ným i záujmami. Je to však len malý dôkaz tohto ohromného zákulisného procesu. A keď teraz Microsof rozozvučí fanfáry a predstavuje novú ochranu, vyvoláva skôr ironický úsmev. Internet Explorer by mal blokovať užívateľom vybrané stránky, avšak nešpecifikoval, či tento zoznam bude fungovať na všetky stránky alebo sa vyskytnú výnimky (ako stránky Microsoftu napr...). Mnoho užívateľov je kritických ohľadom celého IE ako takého – medzi prehliadačmi má najhorší imidž, o čom svedčí aj fakt, že v rebríčku používateľných sa umiestňuje na nízkych miestach, pričom za najbezpečnejší sa stále považuje Mozilla Firefox. Kritici taktiež upozorňujú, že bezpečno! stný plug in môže byť menej úspešný aj vďaka tomu, že väčšina užívateľov IE nie je veľmi technicky zdatná a neuvedomuje si ani problém a vôbec nie riešenie. Okrem toho, tento plugin pravdepodobne nezachráni povesť celého IE. A ak sa teda Microsoft skutočne blahosklonne podsúva užívateľovi s istou ochranou – je namieste otázka – nemal by toto všetko robiť úplne automaticky a od samého začiatku? Prečo s toho robí nemiestnu kampaň, ktorá sa javí byť nebezpečne dvojsečnou...

Chrome notebooks coming mid-2011
by Milota Sidorova


I know some people who buy electronic goods because of brands, they virtually don't care that much for the content, they simply buy it for image. Some people buy it for software, it's simple, if you don't want viruses, buy Mac platform, if you want that kind of operation platform, buy this smartphone or that computer. Corporations know the power of branding and it seems to be quite a trend to buy according to image of one part of a whole mechanism. Let's take Google for instance. It tried so hard to promote its Android operation system, putting it on smartphones and expanding its own image in every possible way. Now there are reports that basically say, buy Android phone, n! ot buy Samsung smartphone with Android. We can see that one part, a software has taken leadership over the whole product. The brand new browser Chrome is the same case And Google seems to be doing well with Chrome so far. Well it was just a matter of time to put Android on notebooks and Pcs. However, the plan to launch first volume of Chrome based notebooks before Christmas and hang on shopping maddness was perhaps too ambitious. The company reported it would miss Christmas season due software problems and errors. The difference between Chrome and any other notebook will be better internet communication and less software. So Chrome will be strong enough to broadcast more and more applications via network, so the machine itself will have less software. It may be good for some, but on the other way it means notebook user will be more and more dependent on network and its capacity. And of course it is just a step from paying for every software use in time. So instead of buyin! g one permanent software, permanent movie or music download, u! sers wil l be required to pay for instant use and access to data or programs. And that's what I call real IT goldmine!

Chrome notebooky na trhu v polovici roka 2011
by Milota Sidorova


Poznám mnoho ľudí, ktorí elektroniku kupujú len pre značku. Na samotnom výkone a obsahu im tak veľmi nezáleží, kupujú proste Toshibu, Apple alebo Sony. To, čo nimi aj dnes silne hýbe je imidž značky. Niektorí zasa elektroniku kupujú pre sofwareové výhody. Je to jednoduché – nechcete vírusy – kúpte si Mac (aj keď by ste ten istý efekt dosiahli použitím Linuxu, napr.). Ak chcete tento OS, kúpte si tento smartphone alebo tento notebook. Stáva sa teda bežným fenoménom, že čiastka preváži i! midž celého produktu – zoberme si napríklad Google. Táto spoločnosť pred niekoľkými rokmi začala promo kampaň pre svoj operačný systém Android a zdá sa, že sa im podarilo presadiť. Ponúkajú sa Android telefóny, nie telefóny Samsung s OS Android. Opäť software udáva imidž celému produktu. Prípad internetového prehliadača Chrome je ten istý. Zdá sa, že Google si s Chrome počína veľmi dobre a bolo len otázkou času, kedy trhy zaplaví „nový“ produkt – Chrome notebook alebo počítač s primárnym internetovým prehliadačom Chrome. Akokoľvek zdá sa, že spustiť Chrome notebooky v predvianočnom čase a využiť nákupnú horúčku bol aj pre giganta ako je Google, príliš veľk! 3; sústo. Spoločnosť potvrdila, že prv! 5; s 3;ria pc do predaja príde najskôr budúci rok – v súčasnosti pracuje na odstránení softwareových chýb. Ale aký je rozdiel medzi Chrome notebookom a bežným notebookom? Google Chrome predstavila ako supersilný prehliadač schopný prenášať kvantá dát a preniesť taktiež maximum software na sieť. To znamená, menej vlastného software, oveľa väčšia závislosť na sieti. Nuž a pokiaľ program alebo film nemôžete vo svojom pc vlastniť natrvalo, budete si ho musieť opätovne pozrieť a použiť na sieti. Nuž a odtiaľ je len krôčik k permanentnému spoplatneniu jednorázových použiťí programov, ktoré ste doteraz vlastnili vo svojom počítači. Platiť za každý film, pieseň alebo hru – predstavte si! to množstvo užívateľov! Tomu sa hovorí ozajstná zlatá IT baňa!

Analogno oživuvanje
by Milota Sidorova


Iako se zboguvavme so analogniot signal i tehnologiite bazirani na analognata transmisija, fakt e deka analognoto može nabrzo da ja doživee svojata lična renesansa. Spored vestite što doagjaat od Avstralija, analognite anteni se sposobni da fakjaat i da prenesuvaat internet signal. Zošto e ova voopšto tema ako slušame za optički žici 24 časa vo nedelata? E pa postojat mesta vo svetov kade optičkite žici ili vajfaj sé ušte e son ili da kažeme ogromen tehnološki predizvik. Avstralija ima široki i otvoreni delovi na pejzaž tipičen so mnogu disperzirana populacija i terminot "nano-lug! je" vekje se koristi pomegju IT i marketinškite timovi. Taka, krienicata za tehnologijata što umee da prenese internet vo tie oddalečeni mesta na zemjata ostanuva važna rabota - ne samo za Avstralija, no isto taka i za SAD, Kanada, Finska i drugi državi so slična pejsažna struktura. Premisata se bazira na faktot deka rečisi sekoj ima klasičen analogen televizor i antena što bi možela da se koristi ako internet signalot ima soodvetna branova dolžina. Vestite isto taka sugeriraat deka analogniot signal može da ima i druga prednost - nezavisna i stabilna brzina na simnuvanje non-stop. Aktuelniot daunloud direktno e pod vlijanie na brojot na uklučenite korisnici pa bukvalno znači deka kolku povekje korisnicite, tolku kapacitetot e pomal. Analogniot daunloud nema da funkcionira taka. Iako Avstralija sugerira brzina od 100 megabita po sekunda da bide standard, timovite na vladinata naučna agencija CS! IRO smetaat deka nema da bide ednostavno za lugjeto što &! #382;ive at vo takvite mesta. Spored CSIRO, nova tehnologija naskoro kje bide testirana vo sela so pomalku od 1000 žiteli.

iPad 2 in stores from February
by Zivka Deleva


Apple Inc. is going to prolong the time for the launch of the new iPad tablet, known as iPad 2, instead in January the market will have it one month later. Chinese factories of the producer Foxconn Electronics are the ones that are going to make it real for the world. One of the most successful telecommunication companies in the world wanted to make sure that everything is alright in the new software and hardware of the gadget. About 400,000 to 600,000 technology lovers will have the first opportunity to have the second edition of the tablet. Believe it or not, but Apple has sold 4.19 million examples of the iPad only for three months, or in the last fourth of the year. Fo! r me, this figure is something hard to digest. In a world where all kinds of devices come almost every day and people have such big choices, the sale of only one type from one company, seems weight too big achievement. And when you get to read that stores expected even better balance at the end one gets more surprises. They are not giving up because the big holidays are coming and each trader simply as the religion says, hopes for the best at that period of the year. If you make some analyses on the way Apple launches its new products you can see that there is some kind of regular period that lasts about one year. With the iPad 2 it would be the same. That is maybe the best way to create the necessity for the customers and like the fanatical Harry Potter serial readers waiting in long lines since the previous day, wait the gadgets just like cold refreshing water.

Epl Ink. kje go prodolži vremeto za promoviranje na svojata nova Ajpad tablička, poznata kako Ajpad 2, namesto vo januari, pazarite kje ja imaat eden mesec podocna.

Okolu 400,000 do 600,000 ljubiteli na tehnologijata kje ja imaat prvata možnost da go imaat vtoroto izdanie na tablicata. Veruvale ili ne, no Epl prodade 4.19 milioni primeroci od Ajpad za samo tri meseca ili vo pos! lednata četvrt od godinata. Za mene, ovaa cifra e nešto teško svarliva.

Analog Revival
by Milota Sidorova


Although we have said our good bye to the analog signal and technologies based on analog transmission, the fact is analog can soon survive its own rennaisance. According to the news coming from Australia, analog antennas are capable to catch and mediate internet signal. Why is this even a topic if we hear about optical wires 24/7? Well there are places in this world where optical wires or wifi is just a dream or let's say huge technological challenge. Australia has wide and open parts of landscape typical with very disperse population and the term „nano-people“ has been already established between IT and marketing teams. So the hide and seek for the technology b! eing able to transmit internet into these remote parts of the country remains an important issue – not only for Australia, but also for U.S., Canada, Finland and other countries with the same landscape structure. The premise is based on the fact that almost everyone owns classic analog TV and antenna that could be used if internet signal would have proper lenght level. News also suggest that analog signal would have another advantage – independent and stable download speed 24/7. Current download is directly influenced by the number of connected users so literally it means the more users, the worse download capacity. Analog download would be free of this model. Although Australia suggest a speed of 100 megabits per second will be a standard, government science agency CSIRO teams have recognized it is a long way to go for people living in remote places. According to CSIRO a new technology will soon be tested in villages with less than 1,000 inhabitants.

Facebook will improve the privacy policy
by Zivka Deleva


Very often it happens when a book is done as a movie, the book not to be literally transfered in the new piece of art and that is normal. Because literature is much wider and expansive form of art than movie is. I could understand that the consequences in such situations are less, but what happens when someone decides to put your life into a moving picture? Than, you can be in trouble. One of the most popular so-called biographies that have come out in recent weekend in Hollywood, definitely was "The Social Network", the movie inspired by the founder of the most popular social network of this era - Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. He personally didn't like everything that was in ! the David Fincher's movie on the subject of how did this site gets people as a virus. I am not even sure that one of the biggest legends of the today's cinema even had that intention. The 26 year old millionaire invited all of his collegues to watch the movie together. But, still for him the film was funny. He especially liked the parts of the clothing choice for the characters, but he didn't like the idea that he made Facebook, so he could be popular with girls. In an CBS interview, Zuckerberg announced some new things about Facebook, like that he didn't use the chance to sell the brand to Yahoo for one billion dollars four years ago. He announces as well that his team is working on the privacy policy of the Facebook half a billion users. They plan a better profile pages highlight. The thing is that the Facebook members can highlight their most important friends on their new profile, create new groups of friends or share activities and interests such as favorite musicia! ns and sports teams. "People love photos. Photos originally w! eren't t hat big a part of the idea for Facebook, but we just found that people really like them, so we built out this functionality" - said Zuckerberg.

LimeWire shuts down on December 31
by Zivka Deleva

The famous Internet site that’s concerned with music download for free LimeWire is closing. After some 10 years of existence on the net, this fighter against courts has lost the battle with the music industry. But, unfortunately, the end came for this site. The New York court brought a decision that the file sharing service site that had about 50 million users just in a month had inflicted “irreparable harm” on the music industry. Other part of the judgment says that the company must stop the sharing of copyrighted works. As far as the legal offering was concerned which showed a close collaboration with the major record labels in the last six years that wasn’t anything wrong. So, everybody who wants some more music for free can use that chance few more weeks, till the end of the year. The officials say that it is time for LimeWire to shut its virtual doors. "As a result of our current legal situation, we have no choice but to wind down LimeWire S! tore operations. Despite our dedication and efforts, December 31 2010 will mark the day when the LimeWire Store shuts its virtual doors". A lot of people were wondering whether it is fair for the law to be this kind only for one company, when there are examples of companies like The Pirate Bay that still have no problems with the music industry, for sharing music. But, the case is not still closed, definitely. Next month there will be a new court ruling on the issue of how much LimeWire has really demaged the music industry. The experts say that we should think of some million dollars.

Fejsbuk kje ja podobri svojata polisa za privanosta
by Zivka Deleva


Mnogu često se slučuva koga se pravi film spored kniga, knigata da ne bide bukvalno prenesena vo novo umetničko delo i toa e normalno. Zatoa što literaturata e mnogu poširoka forma na umet nost otkolku filmot. Bi možela da razberam deka posledicite vo takvi situacii se pomali, no što se slučuva koga nekoj odlučuva da go stavi vašiot život vo podvižna slika? Togaš možete da imate problem. Edna od najpopularnite t.n biografii što izlegoa vo poslednite vikendi vo Holivud, definitivno beše "Socijalna mreža", filmot što e inspiriran od osnovačot na najpopularnata socijalna mreža v! o ovaa era - Mark Cikerberg. Nemu lično me mu se dopadnalo sé što beše vo filmot na Dejvid Finčer, osobeno za toa kako ovoj sajt gi pridobiva lugjeto bukvalno kako virus. Ne sum nitu sigurna deka edna od najgolemite legendi na denešnata kinematografija deka imal takva namera. Dvaeset i šest godišniot milioner gi pokanil site negovi kolegi filmot da go gledaat zaedno. No, sepak filmot bil zabaven za nego. Nemu osobeno mu se dopadnale delovite od izborot na oblekata na likovite, no ne mu se dopadnala idejata deka toj go sozdal Fejsbuk za da bide popularen kaj devojčinjata. Vo intervju za CBS, Cikerberg najavi novini za Fejsbuk, kako taa deka ne ja iskoristil šansata da go prodade brendot na Jahu za milijarda dolari pred četiri godini. Toj objavi isto taka deka negoviot tim na golemo raboti na polisata na pricatnosta na Fejsbuk, koj vekje ima polovina milijarda korisnici. Tie planiraat podobri stranici. Rabotata se sosto! i vo toa što členovite na Fejsbuk možat da gi i! staknat nivnite najvažni prijatlei na nivniot nov profil, da sozdavaat novi grupi prijateli ili da spodeluvaat aktivnosti i interesi kako što se omileni muzičari i sportski timovi. "Lugjeto sakaat fotografii. Fotografiite na početok ne bea tolku golem del od idejata za Fejsbuk, no ednostavno sfativme deka lugjeto navistina gi sakaat niv, pa zatoa ja sozdadovme ovaa funkcionalnost".

FTC proposes privacy ptotecting “Do Not Track“ mechanism
by Zuzana Zelenakova


The US Federal Trade Commission has proposed so called Do Not Track mechanism aimed at protecting users´ privacy while browsing the Internet. The agency has been working on the report released Wednesday for the past year. "The FTC wants to help ensure that the growing, changing, thriving information marketplace is built on a framework that promotes privacy, transparency, business innovation and consumer choice," FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz said in a statement. The mechanism is aimed mainly at online advertisers´ practices of monitoring the movement of consumers on the Internet and subsequently analysing their preferences. As the report suggest the most practical s! olution would be to target the problem through a setting on the computer browser, a switch that would enable people to prevent their online behaviour from being tracked. "Today's technology makes it easy for companies to obtain, collect, store, and transfer unprecedented amounts of information, but industry self regulation has proven inadequate to protect consumers," reads the report. "Industry must do better." The commission has also proposed that the companies introduce consumer privacy into their everyday practices collecting only data that are necessary and then deleting them for safety purposes. Another step is to make privacy policies that "consumers typically do not read, let alone understand" more simple and shorter. The feedback from the companies is expected by January 31, later next year the FTC would like to have the new framework implemented. “It doesn’t resolve all the issues raised by behavioral advertising, but it would give people more control o! ver the collection and use of their information until we can h! ash out the rest of the complex issues that would be involved in getting some baseline privacy regulation,” says Susan Grant, director of consumer protection at the Consumer federation of America, about the proposed changes that should be only a partial solution.

Americká Federálna obchodná komisia navrhuje zmeny posilňujúce ochranu spotrebiteľských informácií na internete
by Zuzana Zelenakova


Americká Federálna obchodná komisia (Federal Trade Commission) prišla s návrhom mechanizmu zameraného na ochranu osobných dát spotrebiteľa na internete pod názvom Do Not Track (Nesledovať). Vládna agentúra pracovala na tomto návrhu, ktorý bol zverejnený v stredu, v priebehu celého tohto roka. „FTC sa snaží o meniaci sa, vyvíjajúci sa a prekvitajúci trh založený na princípoch ochrany informácií, transparentnosti, podnikateľskej inovácie a voľbe spotrebiteľa,“ povedal predseda FTC Joel Leibovitz vo svojom vyhl&! #225;sení. Mechanizmus sa zameriava najmä na internetové reklamné praktiky, kedy inzerenti sledujú pohyb spotrebiteľa po internete, aby takto získané informácie využili v rámci svojho marketingu. Ako hovorí správa FTC najlepšie by bolo problém vyriešiť prostredníctvom nastavení v prehliadači, akéhosi vypínača, ktorý by ľuďom umožnil predchádzať tomu, aby ich kroky na internete niekto zaznamenával. „Dnešné technológie spoločnostiam umožňujú získavať, ukladať a prenášať obrovské množstvo informácií, no samoregulácia priemyslu sa ukázala ako nedostatočná pre zabezpečenie ochrany spotrebiteľov,“ stojí v správe. „Priemysel musí urobiť viac.“ FTC takisto navrhla aby spoloč! ;nosti zahrnuli ochranu spotrebiteľských dát do! svojich každodenných postupov a zbierali len informácie, ktoré nevyhnutne potrebujú a potom ich v rámci zachovanie bezpečnosti vymazali. Ďalším krokom by malo byť aj zjednodušenie rôznych dokumentov týkajúcich sa ochrany súkromia, pretože sú často veľmi obsiahle a nezrozumiteľné a „spotrebitelia ich väčšinou ani nečítajú, a už vôbec nie aby im rozumeli.“ Spätnú väzbu od spoločností FTC očakáva do 31. Januára, už neskôr v budúcom roku by chcela mať agentúra tieto zmeny uvedené do platnosti. „Tieto opatrenia by ľuďom rozhodne dali viac kontroly nad zhromažďovaním a používaním informácií týkajúcich sa ich osôb až kým by sme nenašli nejaké účinnejšie rie! šenie v tejto otázke,“ hovorí Susan Grantová z Americkej spotrebiteľskej federácie o návrhu FTC, ktorý je len čiastočným riešením problému.

More airwaves available for handheld devices
by Zivka Deleva


The extremely rising sell of mobile phones and all other handheld devices have persuaded the U.S. telecommunications regulators to approve more airwaves for wireless services. When technology goes ahead, than everything must follow it. No matter how it sounds, but human kind today is a complete technical dependent being. I mean, take a look at one teenager, and even preteens, they are turning into total tech-maniacs, the best way to punish them is to forbid them to watch TV, to play Play Station, to chat on Facebook, or use all those communicative gadgets that attract their attention. It's gone way too far! The FCC now expects some criticism from the public on this subject! , but their attitude mainly is that the acute infrastructure is not strong enough to withstand all the users' needs. One of the institutions' idea is to persuade the TV broadcasters to give up some of the airwaves, so the users of iPhone or RIM's BlackBerry etc. could use their phones for downloading better. Some of them have done it even without a blink of an eye. The most important question that should be answered on some next meeting would be the improvement of the Internet services, or more precisely the net neutrality rules which is so important to Internet providers. But, what happens after the airwaves are going to be released? Who would get them and how will the split go? The Congress has already approved auctions of the airwaves, so the agency would just have to use the chance. And I asked myself, why would someone give up voluntarily from the airwaves? Analysts say that that could also be broadcasters tactics to get a good compensation.

Povekje vozdušni branovi na raspolaganje na račnite napravi
by Zivka Deleva


Ekstremnata zgolemenost na prodažbata na mobilnite telefoni i site drugi račni uredi gi ubedija amerikanskite telekomunikaciski regulatori da odobrat povekje vozdušni branovi za bezžičnite uslugi. Koga tehnologijata se dviži nanapred, togaš sé moťa da ja sledi. Bez razlika kako zvuči, no lugjeto denes se celosno tehnički zavisni suštestva. Navistina, poglednete eden tinejdzer ili ušte i predtinejdzer, tie se pretvoraat vo totalni tehnički manijaci, najdobar način kako da gi kaznite e da im zabranite da gledaat televizija, da igraat Plejstejšn, da zboruvaat na Fejsbuk ili da gi koristat site tie ! komunikaciski napravi što im go privlekuvaat vnimanieto. Rabotata premnogu izbegala! FCC sega očekuva po malku i kriticizam od javnosta za ovaa tema, no nivniot stav glavno e deka aktuelnata infrastruktura ne e dovolno silna za da gi izdrži potrebite na korisnicite. Edna od ideite na institucijata e da gi ubedi televiziskite prenesuvači da se otkažat od nekoi vozdušni branovi, pa taka korisnicite na ajFoun ili na Blekberi na RIM.. bi možele da gi koristat svoite telefoni za podobro da simnuvaat raboti. Nekoi od niv go storija toa duri i bez da trepnat so oko. Najvažnoto prašanje što bi trebalo da se odgovori na nekoj od slednite sostanoci bi bilo podobruvanjeto na internet-uslugite ili poprecizno pravilata za neutralnost na mrežata, što e mnogu važno za internet snabduvačite. No, što se slučuva otkako vozdušnite branovi kje bidat oslobdeni? Koj kje ima pravo nad niv kako kje bidat podeleni! ? Kongresot vekje odobri aukcii na vozdušnite branovi, pa! agencij ata bi trebalo da ja iskoristi šansata. I jas si se prašuvam zošto nekoj bi se otkažal samovolno od aerobranovite? Analitičarite velat deka bi možela da bide i taktika na emiterite za da dobijat dobra kompenzacija.
