Microsoft ready to launch this year's TV Xbox (Xbox 360)

As already mentioned at E3, Microsoft is trying to establish a new benchmark in a sector where they have already collected the results Google, Sony and Apple that wants to change the way people enjoys television content. Steve Ballmer, CEO of Redmond, has presented the new platform Xbox television in a meeting with financial analysts in Anaheim, California.

Ballmer did not provide details on the partners, price and content that will be made available. He confined himself to saying that hundreds of content providers will be added to the offer of the current Xbox. In addition to on-demand video service, Xbox TV will see television content such as news, sports and favorite channels.

It is still unclear how it will work indeed, but Ballmer insists that it will be similar to the current, structured around the Microsoft collaboration with foreign partners such as Sky TV for the UK, Canal Plus in France and Foxtail in Australia. These partnerships allow Microsoft to deliver streaming content in the selected countries without requiring users to install other devices such as receivers and set-top boxes.

Microsoft believes that the difference between the new service and the bankruptcy of competition lies in the way of interfacing with television content. Using Kinect users can navigate through the TV offerings with gestures and voice. The search function will also be enhanced by Bing.

"Having lots of content is a good starting point, but we must go further," Ballmer repeats. "We know the frustrations of the TV guides, menus, and controllers, and we want to solve this limitation by Bing and voice commands. You say one thing and the Xbox is." In the demonstration, a Microsoft employee uttered the words "Xbox, Bing The Office" and the system automatically searches for all occurrences of the NBC television show The Office.

The service will arrive in the United States in the upcoming holiday season, while there are no details on the arrival of Xbox TV and in other territories in Europe.

Trade online and offline: the public calls for convergence

NCR announces the results of two studies commissioned from NPD Group and the Institute of International Commerce & Marketing, respectively oriented to consumers and retailers in the world to highlight what are the trends that are defining the relationship between trade online and offline.

In the EU there is a percentage of purchases skewed heavily toward the physical stores (65% France 62% Germany and 57% UK), although 14% of said they had Intervis made online over the half of their purchases in the last quarter of 2010.

Interviewed less than 1 in 5 have shopped online in the last 3 months, but despite this, the volume of visits to an online store is found to be very close to that of the physical stores in a ratio of 6:7. The survey also showed how we are spreading the habit of seeking information online, even before making the purchase in a physical store, as it has been able to confirm 63% of interviewed.

From these indications are becoming increasingly important as the consistency of communication, i.e. the ability to find matching information such as product features or promotional offers and initiatives between the online and offline. If in Europe, 61% of respondents say they find a good consistency between the information, only 1 of 4 (25%) believes it to be always consistent. This percentage drops to 12%, even to describe a wide scope for improvement.

The convergence between the two channels represents an interesting opportunity for retailers, since they have the ability to make better use of the levers that drive the propensity to purchase in a given channel. In particular, the promotional initiatives that stimulate purchases in physical stores, while the glove on purchases online is free shipping to be one of the most important catalysts. In particular, there was another model of purchase: 38.5% of respondents showed a greater propensity to shop online if it were possible to collect goods from a physical point in order to avoid paying shipping charges.

Consumers have also expressed an opinion favorable to the promotion of custom type : 63.7% of respondents would like to receive promotions on products that typically buys, 54% instead prefer promotions related to new products and 37% for the favorite brands. Digital technologies and the increased number of mobile phones and smart phones with the possibility of establishing communications in the short and medium range make it easier and easier in the future, such interactions between retailers and consumers. The preferred channel of communication is email, 46% of French, 70% of the British and the Germans by 44%.

At the same retailers recognize that these new trends put in the hands of the consumer decision-making power even more. 65% of retailers also showed that family to multi-channel customers are the most valuable ones. Looking ahead, 63% of consumers will increase the number of online purchases in 2011, but 42% were willing to use cash machines and self-checkout terminals, even moving in declination.

Face book: Invasion of the fake video. Be careful where you click

This past weekend, and in the last hours of the most Face book users have noticed strange messages appear on their message boards, in particular, have made their appearance with phantom videos starring some of our contacts. Each video is also accompanied by a comment like “contact name I did not think I could do something like that "or other simple phrases that should arouse curiosity.

In fact it is not video but of malicious code that is spreading on social networks by exploiting a difficult element to hold off: the human curiosity. Experts say that the image preview of the video is slightly smaller than those on YouTube, or it is completely absent from the play button, in addition, messages of comment would always be the same. Those items listed above are, however, that only will be carefully noted.
Once you click on the video, the user is asked to perform some tasks that straight lines are intended to enable the malicious code to spread to their contacts list. At the moment it is unclear whether this surge in fraudulent video on Face book has a real payload, is devoid of any consequences, or intend to establish a breach on infected systems to be exploited in the future for other operations.

Symantec recently released some details about these sorts of problems for the American giant's 15% of the security video on Face book circulation were due to actions like jacking , a term used to identify the problem at hand and derived from the known click jacking. Tornado in social networks, we point out the existence of the app Norton Safe Web dedicated to quick and very useful to detect situations similar to those just described, even if the user is required as usual care and prudence. In fact, as shown by the following two images, the control is done on the link in your wall, but in the case of the threat we're talking about the link facebook.com is the banal, while with the click of the mouse you will be sent to a very different page.

APU Trinity AMD to debut in early 2012

The debut of the next generation of APUs AMD for desktop and laptop mid-range, known by the code name of Trinity, should take place during the first months of next year. According to earlier by Thomas Seifert, Chief Financial Officer of the U.S. and up to a few weeks ago as interim CEO, the debut of the solutions that will take the place of AMD's APU Series A will already be at the beginning of 2012 and mid-year.

Seifert has anticipated this information during the Deutsche Bank Technology Conference held in Las Vegas in recent days, as reported by the site Bright Side of News. This information can place the public launch of Trinity solutions at the CES 2012 event, which will open during the first half of January.

Trinity Solutions will resume the basic architecture of the Llano APU as complement component 4-core CPUs up to a maximum near a GPU compatible with DirectX 11. The differences are considerable in any case: the proposals will be fact-based Trinity family Bulldozer core, the same basic architecture that AMD will propose solutions to the FX family expected to debut in the fourth quarter of 2011. Specifically, they are solutions Pile driver, common to the family of flagship desktop CPU expectations for 2012 that will take the place of FX Solutions.

Substantial changes are also expected for the integrated video subsystem: find it, sand on available information, design architecture adopted by quoting what VLIW4 AMD Radeon HD 6900 solutions for the desktop segment, the technical choices we will be followed for much of the future range Radeon HD 7000 expected to debut in late 2011.

It will not change the production technology: Trinity solutions will be built with 32 nm manufacturing technology as a partner using GLOBALFOUNDRIES. With regard to the latter Seifert showed that the overall yields are not yet at the level hoped for. This also explains why AMD has pushed to sign a contract to supply at prices not tied to the number of wafers to the products actually produced working day, with a more favorable context for AMD's yields are still far from ideal that technology to production 32 nanometers.

The difficulties of manufacturing 32-nanometer technology GLOBALFOUNDRIES however, seem to be more related to the production of APU Llano than to those of the CPU architecture-based solutions Bulldozer, belonging to the FX family. We will see, however, only in the next few weeks, how, and with such volumes, the new proposals for AMD's flagship desktop systems will debut on the market, as well as with overall performance levels.
