Google Reader offers a new feature: now translates feeds any language (available at the translator, of course).

The service uses technology from Google Translate to be translated into another language feeds to which you subscribe. The option was developed by a team within the company for 20% of their time to own projects.

I do not miss news in other languages . It should be borne in mind, though, that translations are not perfect. However, I must admit that Google Translate translates pretty well, and I think that at least the minimum and indispensable to a press release can be understood without problems.



Clarification : same, just in case, always check sources in their language if they are not quite sure I understood a press release. Almost always there is someone who understood and wrote in your language.

Earlier this month I sat down to write the article "Mactracker, information on products from Apple," in which he spoke about an application for both Microsoft Windows and Mac, which provided information on the various creations from Apple from its beginnings until today ... Today, along with the idea, I come to spread the Apple History site that collects all the technical details of each of the products that have been developed by the company of Steve Jobs during its existence ...

Although the design of the site you want to subtract the reading, at least to me that I do not like at all and living in the year 2008 I expect something better, there is no denying that Apple History has valuable information about Apple , As each of the products (sorted by date since 1976, according to the family to which they belong, or by using the processor) with this specific detailed information, accompanied by a picture to guide us ...

Apparently it is also possible to download the information to make use of it without an Internet connection, there is a history of Apple as a company, and we can finally find curiosities as the first commercial enterprise ... Cheers ...

The new system is known as ExtremeFFS . It uses a method based on paging who writes in a dynamic and alters the position of the information based on the user's hábitdos.

In this way the information is shown in more Quick. The company said that improvement can accelerate the write speed by 100 times.

Are not yet known products that incorporate this technology, but is expected to begin appearing in mid-2009.

100 times is a very large number. In the event that the technology works as announced, it could mean one giant leap for the disks in solid form.

Last week the company SMobile introduced a new virus (the first) to Android .

However, a security analyst wondered whether users really need an antivirus software for the platform. Charlie Miller , who first discovered the vulnerability of Android, said that despite the fact that someone can develop and distribute malware by the market of Android, Google has put obstacles that limit the damage it could do.

Miller said that "if you want to do something dangerous like access to personal contacts, you have to tell specifically to the virtual machine that 'these are the things I'm going to do,' and the virtual machine will ask the user if that's fine. "

In Linux World gave a very explanatory: if the user downloads the game Scrabble, which actually owns malicious software that wants to read data from the mail account, the phone asks if the user can access Scrabble to the mail account. The user, if you think why a simple game like to access the e-mail, you can cancel the transaction and nothing will happen.

Beyond that applications running on the Java virtual machine, hackers discovered a way to install applications natively on the phone, without using the virtual machine. Google announced they had found the way to solve the problem, and it will provide an update to users in a short time.
