After the release of Kindle Fire, people love the new features, simple user interface as well as the very affordable price. However, just like any other tablet, there are some points which tablets can improve on in the next devices. That is the reason why the Kindle Fire 2 is going to be released soon. Here are some things that we will most likely see in the 2^nd version of the Kindle Fire (they are not all solid, infallible reports but they have an 80% chance that the points will happen).

Bigger Screen

There have been reports that the Kindle Fire 2 screen will be bigger. Currently, the Kindle Fire was released with having a 7-inch screen. That is one of the most common concerns for many buyers since they prefer using a tablet that has a big screen due to their media uses. One of their competitors, iPad 2, has a bigger screen which is the reason why some have opted for the Apple product. As for how big the Kindle Fire 2 will be, since Amazon cares about how light it will be due to its original device purpose which is only an eBook reader, the screen size will most likely be 9.7 inches to 10.1 inches.

Superior and Less Rushed

There is solid evidence that showed that Amazon actually wanted to release the Kindle Fire 2 as the first product. However, due to the slow progress of the development as well as their desire to release a product before Christmas, they have released an inferior and rushed product instead which is called the Kindle Fire.

OS is Semi-Android and Is More Amazon-friendly

Amazon’s version of Android (which is why it is called semi-Android) is still going to be implemented for this product. The device will most likely be more biased towards the app store of Amazon. This is done so in order for the buyer to likely search for downloadable files on Amazon rather than search for them in the Google market and the Android market.

Common Features Will Be Present

One of the most common complains of people about the Kindle Fire is that it does not have some features that the iPad has. Examples of these are the non-existence of a camera, a GPS and a microphone. However, with how handy the Kindle Fire 2 will mostly likely be, these extra features are not that much of a deal-breaker if in case the Kindle Fire 2 does not have them.

What are your thoughts on the Kindle Fire 2? What sort of specs will it have?

The Kindle is branded by many as the ultimate gadget to have for readers. Who wouldn’t want an electronic eBook reader that you can carry around anywhere? Not to mention that this gadget can go up to more than half a day without running its battery dry. Who wouldn’t want a book that lights in perfect reading condition in places where it is supposedly too dark to read? When people thought that the Kindle was the next “best thing”, here comes the Kindle Fire.

In a way, the Kindle Fire touched on the features of the iPad 2 more than the iPad 2 trying to touch on the specialty of Kindle Fire. When it comes to this Kindle Fire vs iPad 2 comparison, sure, they are both eBook readers that are able to open applications while letting you use media players for movies, videos and music. However, when you match both of them and look at their similarities, you will have a hard time figuring out which one is for you. In order to fully understand how each is better than the other, let us dissect the major functions and let us try to see which is superior based on this Kindle Fire vs iPad 2 duel.

The Scoring System

For this duel of Kindle Fire vs iPad 2, we tried scoring it with two different categories: major and minor. However, we realized that each category is subject to the reader. It truly depends on the person if which is a minor issue for him or a major issue. Therefore, in order to be balanced for all, we are going to score 1 point for each won category. Let the scoring begin!

Battery Life

A small Kindle can usually go up to 10 – 11 hours if the brightness is at medium. For the iPad 2, it usually cannot go up to 9 hours if constantly used especially if there is much activity from the user. Because the Kindle has slightly less features and capabilities when compared with the iPad 2, it survives longer if the same amount of activity for both products happens simultaneously. Winner? Kindle Fire.

Size and Weight

The Kindle is generally smaller than the iPad 2. However, because of the smaller frame, it is also lighter. The screen size of the Kindle is at 7 inches while the screen size of the iPad 2 is at 9.2 inches. In terms of weight, the Kindle weighs a little bit more than 14 oz while the iPad 2 weighs a little bit more than 21 oz (more if you upgrade the memory). Winner? Tie. 1 point for the iPad 2 for size, 1 point for the Kindle for its lighter weight.

Availability of Movies and Videos

Amazon’s Kindle Fire has a wide array of different videos and movies to choose from the Instant Video store of Amazon. There are two different videos there: stream videos and downloaded videos. For the iPad 2, it is also the same but they are bought through iTunes. However, the advantage of Kindle Fire is that it is able to get streaming videos which the iPad does not have access to. When it comes to the quality of the videos, the Kindle is definitely superior because of the higher pixels per inch (Kindle’s 169 against iPad 2’s 132). Winner? Kindle Fire.

Networking Capability

Although there are possibly many other tablets that are worthy of this discussion when it comes to internet connectivity, the Kindle Fire and the iPad 2 are able to access the Wi-Fi connection. When it comes to simply browsing and surfing, both of them are excellent choices. Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t really known to give off optimum speed but if you are a power user or you are simply accustomed to very fast internet speed then the iPad 2 is slightly better on this one. However, the iPad 2 is better if you have the money to pay for an upgrade for you to be able to connect to superior internet providers.

Pricing of the Products

An average Joe gives much importance to the pricing. However, he would rather pay more if he knows for certain that he will truly get what he is about to pay for. At hindsight, the iPad 2 is definitely expensive if you compare it with the price of the Kindle. The Kindle’s price is less than half of the iPad 2 which means you can basically buy two and a half pieces of Kindles with the money you can buy for an iPad 2. One point for the Kindle Fire.

Storage Capacity

Depending on what you generally use your tablet for, the storage capacity can play a major role in your decision. Upon receiving your device, you can easily say that you won’t fill up the storage capacity since you are only using it for reading and for using applications. However, as time goes by, you will quickly notice that you are slowly running out of storage capacity. Besides, the 8 GB capacity is definitely too small if you store books and videos in your Kindle. However, for the iPad 2, the 16 GB capacity is definitely more appreciated. Although, both tablets have access to cloud and in there, they can store their important files in order to save storage for their tablets. Overall? The iPad 2 wins this one.

Camera

The iPad 2 has a camera. The Kindle has none. What else can I say. One point for iPad 2.

The Winner

Even though we have dissected each part of the product and tried to determine which is superior in that area, these two devices are still different from each other. This Kindle Fire vs iPad 2 comparison shows that the iPad 2 is made to function as an all-in-one tablet that is both versatile and user-friendly. On the other hand, the Kindle Fire is designed to be an upgraded eBook reader that goes beyond its simply functionalities in order to accommodate other needs. If you are asking for a product that can do more, you know the answer. If you are asking which is better for reading, you know the answer. But as far as this comparison goes as well as the point system goes, the Kindle Fire is the clear winner. Congratulations Amazon.

A Bargain at $199

Compared with the iPad 2 and other tablets that seem to go over at least $250, the Kindle Fire is truly a bargain at its current price. This is truly a wise move considering the fact that $199 is a price that is affordable for students, for budget-tight mothers as well as people who are having a hard time earning money. With all the features that have been added to the well-known, simple eBook reader, this tablet is definitely well-praised because of its affordability.

Weight and “Pocketability”

Everybody loves a light tablet that you can easily carry around anywhere you go without having to worry about the weight that it brings. Obviously, tablets are lighter than laptops but what separates the Kindle Fire among the other tablets is the fact that it is very “pocketable”. Pocketable simply means that it can be pocketed easily into a rather big pocket. This means that you no longer have to bring a tablet casing around or a netbook bag in order to have room for the tablet.

Battery Life

The battery life of the Kindle Fire is just like other tablets, if not, longer. Most tablets who have added features or added capabilities will usually experience a reduction of the battery life. When comparing the Kindle Fire from the Kindle, you would only see a few hours of reduced battery life despite the many added features.

High Pixel Per Inch

Many tablets, including the iPad 2, have lesser pixels per inch than the Kindle Fire. In this Kindle Fire review, we would like to emphasize that the PPI of the tablet is very important because it is what separates a tablet from the other tablets. At 169 pixels per inch, the only popular tablet that has matched the Kindle Fire is the Nook by Barnes and Nobles.

Durability

The eBook reader named Kindle was very durable for its size and weight. Now, with the Kindle Fire, Amazon has made it even more durable. According to many reviews, it is estimated that the screen’s durability is more than 25 times more durable than plastic.

Can Be Carried and Watched Using One Hand

If you read a Kindle Fire review, you will definitely read at least once per review someone praising the Kindle’s light weight and easy-to-grip surface. This enables your other hand to rest while the other hand is holding the device tight. This is very handy for people who are travelling because you usually use your other hand for holding bags.

Amazon’s Wide Variety of Things In Its Store

Amazon has millions upon millions of add-ons, games, videos, movies and music files you can choose from. The variety is something that you will appreciate. Although it can’t open or have access to Apple products (yet), Amazon has quite enough to meet every possible need that you have.

Almost Every Book Written Is Available

The reason why the Kindle is much loved by people is because it is a reader’s friend. The availability of books, the selection of genres and how easy it is to download are the things that people appreciate the most. When you read a Kindle Fire review, it is a common trend that people will appreciate the fact that this device is slightly heavier than a heavy book and that is what makes it an excellent eBook reader.

Things To Improve On

The Kindle Fire’s 8 GB storage capacity is something to frown upon. 8 GB is simply too small for a user who intends to use this device everywhere he goes. Even though there is free cloud storage for Kindle users, the small memory of this device will hinder this device to be fully enjoyed. Also, you cannot plug in any external memory which makes it not expandable for power users.

Secret Codes, Hidden Messages and Internet

If it were a literary book or film, we had all the characteristics of a good police thriller: secret codes, hidden messages and secret military records, forgery and eavesdropping codes. But it is something fantastic but a reality for the area of ​​computers and the Internet. The malicious software (malware) is posing a worldwide market of enormous size.

The latest developments in the area were presented at an international conference on Internet security and e-democracy, organized by the University of Macedonia and East London.

Hiding the hidden message

The “steganography” or the hidden writing is a Greek word and technique known since the time of Herodotus.

In simple words, with a secret message, steganography can be incorporated into another type / format file (Jpeg, gif, bmp, tiff, png, mp3, wav, etc.) which identifies the player and find its position through a series of algorithms and codes.

The new challenge seems to be the “textual steganography which is to hide text within a text.

Practically this can be achieved in two ways by hiding it in the spaces between words in tabs or replacement series. This method proves ineffective if the recipient of the message changed the layout of text or by changing the spelling of a word for instance, from British English to American English.

A key challenge (and headache for researchers) is the text-body of the hidden message “makes sense”, which is not as easy as it sounds.

An experimental system is based on two databases of words and phrases and assigns algorithmic words referring to a text, in whole sentences. For example, a text written in British English, the system will automatically find those words, which have chosen American English and will match the anticipated phrases, producing a completely logical text.

The application developed by Tzort Weir and Russell ‘Otzilvi (Russell Ogilvie) gives the user the ability to encrypt a document simply by entering it in the menu of the system and to decode automatically.

The textual steganography can change the data to hide messages (eg, military records), and to detect illegal hidden texts used for terrorism.

The spoofed sites and the new tool of pixel

Indicative of this widespread phenomenon is the fact that just in Britain, there are 1,219 forged websites which cheated consumers. There are even mails which ask you to visit fake websites.

However, the detection of falsified websites are designed that they do not stand out easily from the original.

* The best protection for Internet users is to immediately delete the account emails asking for bank details and personal information.

In response to the challenge, the researchers of the School of Computer, Information Technology and Engineering, University of East London developed innovative tracking system.

Most available detection techniques forged site show significant weaknesses and because these tools simply check the accuracy of the text or check in contrast with the list of spoofed websites.

The proposed technique of East London University instead “captures” the suspect site and examine whether the number of pixels in it are as the same legal website.

As the years go by, the “mafia” of the Internet becomes more resourceful and refined. The malicious software can easily fool the tracking mechanisms and antibiotics, and use sophisticated obfuscation techniques.

The identification based on digital signature offers little protection.  The anti-virus software is constantly trying to anticipate developments.

What Will Happen to Apple After Steven Jobs?

Apple is certainly reluctant to discuss this in public but certainly has prepared a “succession plan” for the post Steve Jobs era. All but wonder if this season will be like the recent past the company.

The Jobs, moreover, was the man who saved a nearly bankrupt Apple’s return at the helm of the company in 1996 (absent for nearly a decade after the expulsion in 1985) and 15 years made it the world leader in market value.

The important thing is that Jobs had the first and last word on the design of devices and sense giving, believing that “technology alone is not enough.” “It’s technology married to the arts and humanities that give results that make our heart awakens” he said at a press conference.

It remains to be confirmed if the people left behind have learned this mentality.

After Steve Jobs, the life at Apple

According to Bloomberg, the Jobs worked all day at Apple, although in recent weeks remained housebound. And as stated by the same anonymous source, there are indications that the state of health has deteriorated recently. However, the British Daily Mail published a photograph by Jobs appears extremely emaciated, more than ever, trying to stand with assistance.

The Bloomberg confirmed that Jobs will remain CEO of Disney, which had sold his successful film studio, the Pixar.

Tim Cook: New Player

Eventually, however, the iconic Apple boss will withdraw completely from the empire. The market, however, has the best words to say about his successor, Tim Cook, who was until now chief executive of Apple.

Cook, now 50, had temporarily replace Jobs when the big boss was away on sick leave at intervals from 2004 to 2011. And he did just fine at this time: completed the development of the iPad and brought excellent results, the company’s stock has risen from $ 300 earlier this year to about $ 400 today.

Cook is also on the side of a group of eight vice-presidents, among the top names in the IT industry, as Scott Forstol. With the iPhone 5 being readied for launch in the autumn, and even an iPad in the works for next year, no contingency is foreseen for the near future.

As per the BBC, Cook is an expert on the entire supply chain and production process, tasks that sound boring, but play an important role. Cook reportedly is also a man who boosted profit margins for the iPad and the iPhone.

In the email sent to workers, he asserted that “Apple is not going to change” and that “the best years lie ahead.”

The British designer Jonathan Aivi, is playing an important role as he is the brains behind the designs of the iMac, the iPhone and the iPad, among others.

But according to recent rumors, Aivi is considering leaving Apple to return to his homeland. According the Guardian, this was “the worst nightmare for Apple.

And one more thing

One of the questions that remain unanswered is who will replace Steve Jobs on stage during product launches.

Having a special communicative talents and wearing jeans and a black turtleneck, Jobs had the talents to seduce the crowd with its distinctive cue “And one more thing”, just before introducing any new, innovative product.

This is yet to prove that Tim Cook, a man with extremely soft tones, will keep the audience breathless.

Even if only for stage presence, surely something is missing now from the Apple.

After all, who sells- the product or Jobs?

The challenges they face Tim Cook are many, and comparisons are inevitable. However, at least, Apple wants to believe the view says that leaders always care to be surrounded by strong teams of talented people who can do the job even in their absence.

For example, the departure of Bill Gates from Microsoft, although carefully designed and carried out over two whole years, finally it seems to leave behind a group that maintained the prestige of the company to levels that left its leader, recognizing of course that the times and challenges in the IT market are changing.

Why You Should Unplug Your Computer from the Electrical Outlet

Even an hour after leaving the authorized computer user’s accounts on Facebook, Gmail or Hotmail, your passwords can be stolen and even when the computer is closed.

As noted, more vulnerable than the Internet Explorer, evidenced by Firefox, and does not delete (zero-out) the passwords of users. In 56% of the tests, researchers were able to recover passwords from the memory of the computer 15 minutes and in 60 minutes, if a user has logged out and closed the unit. Most dangerous in this respect seems laptops-laptop and netbook which have a battery, and the time within which one can recover data depends on the type of RAM, but by external factors such as ambient temperature.

To retrieve items such as security codes do not require exceptional skill level hackers, but just advanced computer skills.

“Unplug the computer from the wall!”

Can the average computer user to protect himself from such events? “Only if it turns out the computer from the outlet when not in use. Thus, the benefit is twofold- it protects your confidential information and saves energy.

But what if computers sharing in places like internet cafes, where the user cannot disconnect the computer from the mains?

In this case a preinstalled security software is mandatory.

The New Tools of Cyber-Crime and How to Protect Yourself

Following the publication of its latest report on Internet threats, Symantec recommends that administrators of corporate networks should prepare for network users to monitor for new risks that have arisen. Whether you’re in a network or not, this advice is particularly useful:

Do not open files attached to e-mail unless expected and from known and trusted source.

Do not run programs downloaded from the Internet before checking for viruses.

Do not clicks addresses (URL) carelessly contained in e-mail or applications that serve the social network even if they come from trusted sources and “friends.”

Most of these are rather basic rules. The prompt but do not click abridged URL is rather new threat. In July, Symantec documented significantly increased attacks that put the mask at five popular shortening service URL. The attacks made by e-mail that supposedly comes from a bank on the cancellation of transferring money. The recipient is encouraged to follow a link to open a PDF explaining the reasons for the cancellation of the alleged money transfer to the recipient. The link is an abbreviated URL that leads to shuttle services by malicious software which runs through Javascript code as the browser tries to decode the page. That is why, Symantec suggests the expansion of abbreviated URL (eg service LongURL) or see- preview to check if indeed it leads to the declared site or not.

* Users of social networking should be extremely careful what personal information they publish on their profiles.

* Symantec also notes that there are risks from the results in search engines especially when viewed on a hot topics in press and proposes to click only known sources.

* It also proposes to close the browser with Alt + F4 or Ctrl + W or the task manager (Kill) if after clicking on an URL or using a search engine we receive a message that our computer is infected (Result of contamination by pseudo-antivirus).

* Finally, it is proposed to add tools to the browser showing the popularity of websites that appear in search results (or equivalent service) before choosing among them.

The research results of Symantec for July 2011

The number of variants of the malware used in each attack has increased dramatically over the past six months. This proliferation of attacks, malware, increases the risk, as organizations cannot locate them using traditional security techniques available.

The report shows that the malware is often contained within an executable file which included an attached ZIP archive file masquerading as a PDF file or record office.

This new aggressive approach to polymorphic malware distribution on this scale should worry many businesses, particularly those that rely solely on traditional security measures, which these new types of malware are” trained “to avoid.

An example of this technique includes change in the startup code of almost every version of the malware, intelligently changing the structure of the code which makes it difficult for simulators of anti-virus programs to detect them.

“Fishing” elements of WAP pages

Further analysis reveals that phishing attacks seek various means to exploit the mobile users. Two main points which suggest this trend is initially an increase in phishing are that wireless application protocol (WAP) pages are specifically designed for mobile devices and then use domain names registered for portable devices such as the domain.mobi.

The Symantec identified phishing sites such rogue sites and continues to monitor this trend. In July, brands and social networks were often detected in these phishing sites. The targeting of users of mobile phones is part of the strategy followed by cybercriminals to obtain interception of personal data.

Highlights of the report:

Spam: In July 2011, the global rate of spam in email traffic increased by 77.8% compared with May 2011, an increase of 4.9%% (1 to 129 email).

Phishing: In July, phishing activity increased by 0.01% compared with June 2011. One in 3193 emails (0.313%) contained some form of attack phishing.

E-mail-borne threats: The global percentage of email-borne viruses in email traffic was at a 2809 emails (0.333%) in July, an increase of 0.01% since June 2011.

Web-based Malware threats: In July, the report Symantec Intelligence has identified an average of 6.797 Web on a daily basis hosted malware and other potentially unwanted programs like spyware and adware; an increase of 25.5% since June 2011.

Endpoint Threats: The most common Malware that hampered last month was W32.Ramnit! Html-a worm that spreads through removable drives and infects executable files. Variations of Ramnit worm constituted 17.3% of all malicious software that prevented the security software in July.

Vertical Trends

In July, the automotive sector was the main attraction for spammers with a whooping80.7%.

Levels spam in education touched 80.3% while the pharmaceutical sector moved to 77.9%. The level of spam IT services was at 77.8%, while Public Sector and financial institutions moved to 77%.

The Public Sector remained the one with most phishing attacks in July, once in a 732 emails were identified as phishing. Also, a 621 email to the Public Sector were blocked as malicious.

The surprisingly high number of 125 is the number of people whose suicide was prevented due to the mobilization of Electronic Crime, where either police investigators or Users Internet message Viewed intent suicide site on social networking or blogs. The number is impressive not only because the suicide was the result of grief, despair and pain beyond the possibilities of dealing with them.

In 2010, the Prosecution was prevented by the same stated intent suicide of online 58 people. The total number of the year 2006 stands at 261 people.

In two of these cases the individuals were transferred directly to hospitals with the assistance of the Emergency Plan and had consumed a large number of pills.  The two other cases were initiated in psychiatric confinement store after ordering the local prosecutor.

* Communication with the Cyber ​​Crime Department at the Greek Police is via email.

* The Internet service providers give evidence at the public prosecutor’s request and the opinion of ADAE in Sub Cyber ​​Crime resulting from digital analysis of each case to identify a person who announces the intention of suicide.

* The procedures for digital detection of the person who announces the intention of suicide made by officers specializing in Internet techniques and tools used in police departments around the world. The aim is to identify the electronic path. Depending on the manner through which the disclosure of the message varies, the electronic trail is identified. For example a post in chat room or blog (blog) or social networking site (Facebook) will be differentiated and so will be detection techniques.

H Wind Hellas launches an extremely cheap smartphone with Android 2.2 at 99 Euros. At the same time, gives the option of controlled use of Smartphone for all as Prepaid Wind for Internet access at a cost that can fall to 5 cents per MB for up to 100MB drive.

Sales of smartphone in the Greek market have increased dramatically in the first seven months of 2011. As documented by the GFK survey, the purchase of smartphones doubled compared with the corresponding period last year.

* If you do not know what is smartphone:

You may prefer “smart” mobile, but not necessarily luxurious: 60% of people prefer smartphone that costs less than $ 200. Interestingly, it has a different conclusion and analysis of measurements: The vast majority of smartphone sold either very cheap (less than 200 Euros), or very expensive.

Doing so one more step down the prices, the Wind launched the first device under Euro 100. The company offers a device with Android 2.2, which although close, but does not touch the psychological threshold of 100 Euros.

* The ZTE Carl sold exclusively in Wind stores in 99 Euros and with fully subsidized program Wind to All 40 (40 Euro fee). Warranted for 24 months free repair or replacement.

Apparently, the Wind believes that the smartphone market under $ 100 would claim a significant share (from anyway growing market segment that relates to devices lesser than 200 Euros).

Smartphone without a shock from the account

The fact that a network operator chooses to promote the most economic proposal smartphone does not mean that doing it to win only from their sale. Apparent purpose of business is to win and increase the data traffic on its network.

On the other hand, such a move could only be described as risky, if the operator fails to avoid incurring a new subscriber shock from the account, although obviously expect to use the Internet, but not excessively.

At the end of this year prepaid, the charge is 10 cents per MB without any substantial limitation where lurks the risk mentioned above, the shock.

What is “guarantee account”?

The guarantee account, which we suggest you ask directly, allows you to set the maximum amount of your monthly statement (the maximum amount will exceed the fixed of your contract, you canSnot ask for a lower cost than fixed your account mobile phone, even for one month).

If you approach hazardous namely 5 million advance, you will be notified. Once notified, you have the option to prepay for additional use of the Internet (and other services, but here are restricted to the issue of data traffic) in the form pack MB.

How charged MB each packet use Mobile Internet with contract

The options give the Wind to subscribers to buy a package of Mobile Internet Charge 5, 10, 15 or 20 euros a month to spend 100MB, 350MV, 750MV or 1,5 GB, respectively, with charge per MB is decreasing by one package to another. Obviously, the additional package to your advantage compared with the uncontrolled causing traffic to charge 10 cents per MB.

* The packages also offer Mobile Internet, the cost per MB is reduced to 5 minutes per MB on a smaller package, at 2.86 minutes per MB in the next, at 2 cents per MB in the third and was up to 1.33 minutes per MB on the larger package of 1,5 GB.

* Mobile Internet site also under contract to the Wind

* In addition to the use of Internet by contract, there are also ‘ extension services voice, SMS and Mobile Internet without a contract, provided after a free call to 1270. Regarding the Internet, the subscriber may request additional 50MB for use in 30 days in charge of 3 euros (6 cents per MB), or 100MB for use in 30 days with a charge of 5 euros (5 cents per MB).

Mobile Internet on prepaid Wind, 1, 3 or 5 euros

* With SMS to 1210 users and prepaid Wind F2G Wind Card may require 10MB

The first option (10MB) charge the highest price of the network in GB, i.e, 10 minutes, while the other two options volume, the larger the price per GB drops to 5 minutes per MB.

* Finally, we mention that the Wind has a program to use the internet for a day, Wind Mobile Internet Daily which provides drive to 10MB costs 1 euro (10 cents per MB).

If you are a subscriber contract of the Wind, getting the extra packages could reach its lowest point in the network (1.33 cents per MB to 1,5 GB per month).

If you do not want to fall off “the face” to the Internet from your mobile, go prepaid package with fixed costs (otherwise utilize the Carl in areas where there is open Wi-Fi).
