Sometime in the next two weeks faring device in the atmosphere. That the US space agency NASA reported Thursday
.
Large debris pouring down on earth possible. The space services of Russia, the United States and Europe hold the cargo in the holes to calculate when and where it decays.
The cargo ship, the Progress M-27M, was Tuesday launched more than two tons of supplies for the ISS. After takeoff showed that something had gone wrong. Flight controllers had trouble with data inside. The device probably turned slowly on its axis. It is not yet known what exactly went wrong.
For the six crew on the ISS there is no danger. The cargo ship is flying much lower. In addition, the space station has enough stocks
April 30, 2015 – The pilot flew his plane over Texel attempted to take a picture, because the weather was nice. However, while the iPhone fell out of his hands, 1,500 meters down. When the man came home, he tried to locate his iPhone with Find My iPhone’ app on your computer. To his surprise, the plane was still on, and he was able to determine the location fairly accurately.

As a tech billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos can afford almost everything – one of the largest online retailers in the world, an equally large cloud service and a newspaper. Less known is that he also owns an aerospace company, with which he extensively wants people into space. Yesterday it tested its first missile.
Bezos founded his space company Blue Origin in 2000. Since then, little was heard of the company, the company shall hardly out. Until yesterday, when it posted a video of their first test with the New Shepard rocket from a base in the US Texas:
Rocket not reuse
The missile was about 93 kilometers (307,000 feet) into space, where a – empty – compartment for six astronauts successfully undocked and came with a parachute back to Earth.
The rocket itself was less well. The intention was to create a reusable rocket, a key step in reducing the cost of commercial space. But the rocket crashed – Blue Origin does not tell if and where the rocket is found. Jeff Bezos wrote in a blog on the test:
“If New Shepard had been a traditional spacecraft, this was a perfect test. But of course one of our goals reuse, and unfortunately the rocket did not return as planned because we lost pressure during the downturn in the hydraulic system. “
” The earth is just our starting point ‘
More exciting still is the ultimate goal of Blue Origin: massive displacement of people into space, so they can finally settling on other planets. Pretty sci so, but the company is serious. Besides images of the rocket launch published a roaring video explaining its ambitions:
“The human need to explore is deeply rooted in us. Expeditions by our ancestors to modern adventures, we live in a unique time when we explore new frontiers. At Blue Origin, we believe that the time has come to make the space accessible to everyone. Because the Earth – in all its beauty – is just our starting point “
Bezos has all his life fascinated by space. The Washington Post found an interview with Bezos in 1982 returned, he was 18 years old student gave to a local newspaper when he graduated with the highest marks. His dream was to build future space hotels, amusement parks space colonies and space for two to three million people. “The whole idea is to preserve the earth,” says the young Bezos.
Tesla founder Elon Musk wants to die on Mars
There are more tech giants fascinated with space. The best known is Elon Musk, CEO of electric car maker Tesla founder and aerospace company SpaceX, which more than Blue Origin publicity are looking at.
Musk wants to develop reusable rockets, so far without success. And Musk will eventually make space travel accessible to everyone so that we can settle on Mars for instance in the case that the Earth would be uninhabitable. Again, this will sound like science fiction to many ears, but he means it. In several interviews Musk has said to want to die on Mars.
Then there are the commercial space company Virgin Galactic Virgin founder Richard Branson, the American Space Adventures and Dutch-American company XCOR. The US space agency NASA, which for years cutbacks, is certainly welcome any space innovation from the commercial angle:
There is a real tattoo-gate going on in the world of Apple Watch. People with predominantly dark tattoos on the wrist are experiencing problems with the heart rate monitor watch. The watch would not work well with the ink.
The problems have come to light now several people on Twitter and Reddit complain about problems with Apple Watch. Most people are black or red tattoo around their wrist.
Users complain about incorrect heart rate readings, and even the breaking of the connection to the watch. According to MacRumors are advised to watch the first test in the store if you’ve been to a dark tattoo on your wrist and are planning to purchase one in.
Block of tattoo ink would block the light, allowing the sensor to the blood flowing in the wrist can not properly or not at all perceive. A possible solution is to turn off the pulse detection. The disadvantage however is that as Apple Pay no longer works.
Because of the failure of sending the unmanned Progress capsule toward the International Space Station (ISS), threatens postponement or cancellation of a May 6 planned job increase ISS.
Russian flight controllers at the Russian space agency Wednesday were all lost contact with the unmanned capsule, making the Progress uncontrolled floating through space. Meanwhile, it is clear that the cargo spacecraft will certainly not get to ISS and therefore will not be able to link to the space station.
The orbit of the space station must be periodically boosted because the complex, including through the attraction of the earth, gradually drops. But the planned job increase of 6 May will be, as the Progress capsule will not get to the ISS does not occur.
For some connections or disconnections of the ISS orbit change planned on 14 May. Whether this will continue, it is not yet clear.
The problems with the Russian Progress 59 supply ship have not been resolved, so the spacecraft can be considered lost. The capsule is currently back on the earth and will soon burn up in the atmosphere.
Actually Progress 59 yesterday arrive at the International Space Station three tons of stock – including food, fuel, experiments and supplies for astronauts – to deliver. Unfortunately, the Russian space agency does not get a grip on the capsule. Progress 59 already takes a couple of days uncontrollably about its axis. Attempts to stabilize the spacecraft have failed to date
Yesterday, there appeared a video-line, which clearly shows how the capsule spins at high speed:.
Total loss astronauts Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko left this week to The Associated Press that the spacecraft already ‘ total loss is explained by the Russian space agency Roskosmos. Progress 59 is currently losing altitude, causing the spacecraft somewhere between 7 and 11 May will burn in the atmosphere. Normally burn Progress spacecraft above the Pacific Ocean. Suppose that certain components survive the trip through the atmosphere, then these parts splashes into the ocean. Since the Russians can not direct the path of Progress 59, there is a small chance that parts of the Progress capsule on land countries. Fortunately, our planet for two-thirds of water and is only three percent inhabited area.
Alternatives While it is unfortunate that a lot of stock and expensive spacecraft lost, it is not a major problem for astronauts on the International Space Station. They will not starve or dehydrate, since there are plenty of stocks available in the space lab. In addition, the astronauts on the ISS are not only dependent on Progress capsules. There are also many capsules Dragon and Cygnus capsules gescheept to the ISS. And of course, our own European Space Agency some sort Progress XXL, namely the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV). The ATV can carry three times more stock than a Progress capsule.
Organizations increasingly conduct a legal battle to publications of the Dutch Data Protection Authority (CBP) counter. They are afraid of reputational damage if it appears that they have gone in the wrong personal data .

CBP-President Jacob Kohnstamm therefore wants a legal disclosure requirement, he said in an interview with Trouw. “At this time alone, walking four cases to the court. It creates a lot of pressure on our legal department. An obligation to publish would be a shot in the arm, “explains Kohnstamm.
The publication of reports helps citizens expect more aware how much data about them is collected. “If I steal your purse, you can see that. If I steal your data, then it is not visible “
San Francisco starts at 17.30 from the Microsoft keynote at its annual developer conference. Prior (from 17:00), we will discuss what the expectations are and how Microsoft Windows 10 has a lot of things done differently
. <- block | videos start ->
Between 17:30 and 20:00 we will broadcast live presentation from Microsoft. After the keynote we look briefly back at all revelations.
In addition to new information on Windows 10, such as when the operating system is available and what innovations are still to come, it is expected Microsoft will also tell you more about the holographic glasses Hololens
A consumer version of the glasses is not expected in the near future, but possibly known how developers apps can go make Hololens
It will soon be possible to use Android and iOS apps on your Windows Phone. That said, Microsoft is a big presentation for developers. It is also possible to use Firefox and Chrome-extensions in the new Spartan-browser, and to use applications in Office.
Although the presentation was mainly focused on the creators of apps, there was for Windows 10 is also plenty to discover. One of the most important developments is the ability to run Android apps on Windows Phone.
Windows Phone has always had the problem that there are few apps available. Microsoft wants to change that with Windows 10. The mobile variant therefore also supports applications written for Android or iOS. Those are fairly easy ‘to convert’ to apps for Windows. This must be identical with the release of Windows 10 already a lot of apps are available for download. It’s also about apps that you would not normally on Windows Phone to see.
Edge-browser
Microsoft also made known about the new browser, which ‘Edge’ is called. That’s the new name for the browser that was first known as ‘Project Spartan’. It is the successor of Internet Explorer. Which remains still exist in Windows 10, but ‘Edge’ is the default browser.
plugins
One of the biggest missed Internet Explorer has always been the lack of good plugins. That made competing browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome just as popular. The ‘edge’ browser will also get support for such add-ons. Rather than develop its own system, but Microsoft is however possible to use existing Chrome and Firefox extensions in the new browser. Therefore, there are many plugins thereby instantly download and use.
Apps in Office
Developers can get started with Office. That fact gets better support for apps. Incidentally, already existed – even in Office 2013 was it possible to use apps. That feature, however, was able to find no one – not both users and developers. Therefore in Office apps were made only made one.
Uber and LinkedIn
The new Office 2016 easier to use such apps. As an example, Microsoft called a plug-taxi service Uber, which can be accessed via a plugin to your calendar. So it can book a taxi for you if it sees that example to catch a flight.
Microsoft wants Windows 10 and Office suite make one system for each device, so both your smartphone and your desktop. This also means that such apps on all devices to use, whether you’re on your phone or sitting on your PC.
Personal Information
Another example is LinkedIn, which can create an app that you can use in Excel. It lets you add a list of contacts right away to your friends network. The disadvantage of such apps is that you give them access to your personal information. A service like Uber give you access to your calendar or your contacts list. According to Microsoft, however, you must give permission to any app that wants to have that info. That would be as if you do go with apps from Google Play or Apple App Store.
It is still not certain when Windows 10 is finally released. According to the latest rumor is that “the end of July, but a final date has not been announced. It was expected that Microsoft would make more known about this conference, but that has not happened as yet.
Dozens of planes from American Airlines yesterday delayed due to a fault in an iPad app used by the pilots. It’s the app Flite Deck for viewing flight plans
.
The cockpit of American Airlines since 2013 are entirely paperless. Because the staff no longer have stacks of paper to carry, saving the airline own words more than $ 1.2 million worth of fuel a year.
A spokesman for American Airlines let the BBC know that pilots in some cases had to return to the gate to connect the iPad with Wi-Fi network. This would have solved the problem.
One of the passengers, Serge Gojkovich, CEO of parkeerapp Curb Stand, however late on Twitter that his plane could take off only after the pilot had had to print out the flight plans. The spokesman could not confirm this
American Airlines is currently still looking for the cause of the problem
Thanks for your patienceSergeGojkovich. We’re plain to see That you’ve landed. Welcome to LA, Serge
