The Cabinet has decided to Friday after a proposal by Minister of Ard der Steur of Security and Justice.

The retention obligation existed, but this spring had a judge there a line passed through and inoperative. He found that the privacy of people was violated seriously. Even interest groups oppose data retention and also in Parliament, there is opposition.

Van der Steur had earlier announced that he wanted to continue the storage requirement, but wanted to put in some safeguards. The retention period is six months for internet data to twelve months for telephone data. Companies store this information already, but much shorter and only to send accounts to their customers.

A longer period as the Minister is indispensable for the investigation and prosecution of serious criminal offenses. He points out that suspects are not always directly into the picture and that it is often only proves necessary at a later stage to examine call and email data. It’s not about the content of calls but data showing those who called.

Inspection should not be in any criminal investigations. It must be a serious offense which can be a suspect in custody

“Google has been working for over two years at PC version of Android ‘- Techzine

According to several American media, Google is still trying to Android to conquer the PC market. A challenge and before the operating system must be substantially overhauled, Google was already more than two weeks of years to the PC version of Android.

Google itself has been said in the past that it sees a future where Android and Chrome OS will be merged. Later took it away from that statement and said that was not a good idea anymore. According to US media continues Chrome OS than simply exist, but Google is simply its focus on Android. Chrome OS will thus remain in the background there.

Google could work together next year with several manufacturers to develop PCs with Android operating system. Whether these systems even though next year appear on the market is unclear. We are especially curious if Google goes in failing to adapt Android so that the touchscreen is not mandatory, if we have learned anything from Microsoft and Windows 8 is that a touchscreen is a minimal addition to a traditional PC and users all through the mouse and want to use keypad.

In the end, Google now puts the pressure on Windows 10 and that in itself is not surprising. The company has 1.4 billion Android users, it’s much smarter to try Android to conquer the PC market than with Chrome OS. This year, an estimated 8 million sold about Chromebooks, while hundreds of millions of Android phones are sold.

Obstacles

However, there are still a lot of problems and obstacles must take before Google can be successful with Android on the PC market. If Google really wants to make a serious effort and high-end systems and hardware will offer, there will be an extensive driver model should be introduced. The biggest problem is the security of the operating system. This past year there are the necessary security vulnerabilities found in Android which systems are taking over, and data can be captured easily. Patching these leaks is something that Google does so active, but the manufacturers to make the updates are not alone. Thereby book Android is becoming more like an insecure operating system, something which companies will surely stop to exchange their Windows systems for Android.

Google can of course choose to by really big structural changes introduce Android, For example, the ways in which Android is to adjust what to restrict and record the update process on the shovel so much faster and more often updates itself can roll out to Android devices. We have recently published a very firm blog about the security of Android Techzine.

For the PC market may in any case no harm if a bit more excitement coming into the market, Windows has long been very dominant and Mac OS continues to play a minor role. Android market can be a little shake. In addition, Microsoft may also positively affect that company has a fair amount of damage to reputation suffered with Windows 8 and is not always appreciated. However, it is not easy to develop a control system that can handle as well as many different hardware. If Google against those problems to go running Windows people may appreciate it more.

Colossal asteroid shaves today grazed the earth – Focus on News

A colossal asteroid, which scientists have only discovered this month, Saturday will narrowly skimming the earth. Because the asteroid or planotoïde this calculated during Halloween will do, it was nicknamed “Spooky”. This report different media.

The giant space rock was discovered in Hawaii with the Pan Starss telescope. It is estimated the diameter between 200 and 600 meters. Saturday night around 18:00 our time it is expected that the asteroid will approach the Earth our closest, namely to approximately 480.00 km. The distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384 000 km and therefore the asteroid is farther from Earth than the moon, but cosmic standards, the space rock is still relatively close.

Still, we need according to Paul Chodas of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Office for the asteroid to be afraid. Chodas: “The chances of this rock Saturday aanknalt against us is zero.” And that’s a good thing too, because the asteroid was discovered so late (three weeks ago) that did it must have been a danger to Earth, three weeks would not have been sufficient to evacuate all people from danger in time. This was reported by The Age

Detlef Koschny of ESA in Noordwijk says on the ESA’s website about the late discovery of the asteroid:. “The fact that such kind shearer, which might hefty damage cause if he would strike the earth, just 21 days before it is discovered, shows the necessity of everyday to keep an eye on the sky.

Material from the space can best do some damage. So brank in February 2013 a 20-meter asteroid into pieces over Chelyabinsk in Russia. Around Flying debris damaged buildings damaged more than 1,000 people were injured.

Big asteroid “Spooky” skims along the earth – VRT News

The asteroid, estimated to be she is just about 400 meters in diameter, will the earth closest approach of our time around 18 pm , up to at about 480,000 km. That is more than the average distance from the Earth to the moon – about 384 000 kilometers – but cosmic standards it is still pretty close. The asteroid shaves past at a speed of about 35 kilometers per second.

Astronomers hope to gather radar images and other data during flight, a rare opportunity for them. Usually they must therefore rely on expensive space probes, approaching comet, an asteroid now coming to us. The scientists expect to learn more about the shape of the asteroid, its dimensions, the characteristics of its surface and other features.

“The fact that 2015 TB145 us as close approaching, along with its size, suggesting that they will be one of the best asteroids to take radar images, which we will see in the coming years, “said Lance Brenner, an astronomer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA in Pasadena, California at NASA Web site.

Crash

Apart from the scientific data, the encounter with the asteroid engineers can also help to develop better techniques to keep such objects in the eye, and to work out measures against asteroids have a job that would bring them into conflict with the earth.

It is raining constant small space rocks on the earth, most of which fall apart and burn up in the atmosphere. Occasionally, however, there is also a larger one into the atmosphere does not burns. So hit 65 million years ago an asteroid about 10 kilometers in diameter at what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. That led to a global catastrophe, which brought an end to the dinosaurs and about 75 percent of all life forms on earth.

More recently, in February 2013, broke a 20-meter asteroid into pieces over Chelyabinsk in Russia. In addition raaktebn buildings damaged and jumps numerous windows, and more than 1,000 people were injured by flying debris.

The agency is working to identify all potentially dangerous asteroids and comets that approach Earth to 48 million kilometers, but the area continues to surprise.

For example, asteroid 2015 TB145 only discovered three weeks ago by NASA astronomers. “That such a large object, which would be able to inflict considerable damage if it would affect our planet, just 21 days before it was discovered approaching our closest, demonstrates the need for the night sky all the time keep an eye on, “said Detlef Koschny, an astronomer with the European Space Agency ESA in a statement.

‘Ringing scammers difficult to address’ – Telegraaf.nl

AMSTERDAM –

It is very difficult to trace these criminals call people at home and posing as Microsoft employees. That says Martijn Egberts, rural cybercrime prosecutor. “Unfortunately, the groups that carry this often involved working from abroad.”

The scammers call random people and say, often in very poor English that they were from the security department of Microsoft. They would have discovered that the computers of their victims was infected and offer extremely helpful to solve the ‘problem’. Before that needs to be installed only one small program. And there it goes wrong. Through this program, the criminals take complete control over the PC. “Then there is the criminal offenses committed with it,” said Egberts.

The cyber officer understands that people fall for it. But who gets such a call should immediately realize that this is not pure coffee. “We’re trying to back investigations through technical and financial trails we can find. So we can in some cases lead to a suspect.” Quickly make a declaration according Egberts therefore important. “The sooner digital detection gets involved, the more spores usually still present.”

See through walls with wireless signal – Telegraaf.nl

US researchers have developed a device that uses wireless signals to pass through walls to look back and identify the people behind it. The device RF Capture was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

RF Capture emits radio waves which are reflected by various body parts and then reflected back to the unit where they are analyzed. Among others, the intensity of the radio waves is measured, after which a complex algorithm is in a position to observe the silhouette of the body type.

The device can indicate where arms, hands, legs and head are located and is able to identify up to fifteen different people with an accuracy of 90 percent. RF Capture can thus define who you are, where you are and even what hand you’re moving while the device is located within a building and you are out.

According to the researchers, the technology could have significant consequences for the film, games and elderly. To capture their movements actors must now carry various sensors on their bodies and are located in a room full of cameras. RF Capture enables sensors unnecessary and may even perceive the movements when the actor is in another room or behind an object. For gamers this means that they may have with a game from another room or an action to be triggered based on which hand they light interaction.

The researchers are currently working to incorporate the technology into a home device that can make emergency calls when it sees that an occupant has fallen. In the future, the technology can also be used to heat the house and switch the lights on and take off by looking into what room you are in.

Rosetta space probe discovered oxygen molecules in comet – NU.nl

The gas cloud coming out of the comet, contains an average of four molecules of oxygen for every 100 water molecules.

Probably the oxygen for billions of years ago, during the formation of the comet taken from the gas cloud from which our solar system was formed.

This was reported by a team including researchers from the University of Leiden in the journal Nature .

Spectrometer

The researchers analyzed more than three thousand images of the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which were made between September 2014 and March 2015 by Rosetta.

On the basis of measurements with a spectrometer aboard the spacecraft, scientists have mapped out what substances are in the gas cloud around the comet.

Rosetta was already water vapor, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and various nitrogen, sulfur and carbon compounds at 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Oxygen was discovered.

Surprisingly

The discovery of the oxygen molecules is very unexpected. “For me this is the most surprising result of the chemical Rosetta mission so far”, the Leiden researcher explains Ewine of Dishoeckstraat news Astronomie.nl.

“For decades we have looked for interstellar oxygen without much success, and now we find her just in large quantities in a comet.”
