NASA confirms UARS satellite fell in South Pacific

The UARS satellite hit the Earth on Saturday in an area of the South Pacific Ocean, far from any land.

NASA ends the uncertainty surrounding the fall of the device after the scientists could not pinpoint at first place.

After six years of life, the UARS torn returned to Earth in 26 parts.

The NASA explained Tuesday the point of reentry into the atmosphere of the UARS satellite , which hit Earth on Saturday in an area of the South Pacific Ocean , far from any land.

Their remains can be dispersed in an area of between 480 and 1,300 kilometers "The satellite entered the atmosphere over the Pacific to 14.1 degrees south latitude and 170.2 degrees east longitude. This location is located on a remote ocean area and large , "he said Tuesday at NASA.

Thus, the U.S. space agency ends the uncertainty surrounding the fall of the device after the scientists could not pinpoint at first place.

The area that may have scattered the remains of the mill is between 480 and 1,300 kilometers northwest of the point of reentry into the atmosphere.

NASA also said Tuesday that the satellite fell to Earth at 04:01 GMT on Saturday 24 September when the U.S. space agency estimated that it would "between 23.03 GMT and 05.09 GMT."

After completing in 2005 a productive scientific life of almost six years, UARS, 750 million and more than 5.5 tons, torn back in 26 parts to Earth.

Switching back

The fall of the satellite has been surrounded by great anxiety and conjecture in social networks , where the mill became one of the stars of the week.

The probability that the remains of the satellite reached a person were one in 3200 , however, the likelihood that any of the satellite remains in the Upper Atmosphere Research (UARS), weighing 5675 kilograms, a person was reached very remote according to NASA, which stood at one in 3,200.

The agency insisted that since the beginning of the space age has not confirmed any cases in which a person has been injured by a space object re-entry during the maneuver.

The shuttle "Discovery" in 1991 carried the satellite to six tons designed to measure atmospheric changes and the effects of pollution.

Google announces a remarkable

Google announces a "remarkable" that improves the positioning of the news content of its own

It is inserted into the html of the articles, Google News then displayed under the heading of 'featured' on your homepage.One more thing that Google uses to position the news.

Google has announced the creation of a "standout" (highlighted) that once inserted into the HTML code for the news content itself facilitates its positioning within the famous search engine.

The news, released during the conference of the Online News Association in Boston and published in his blog , intended as a parameter of the many that Google uses to position the information on the Internet.

Thus, typing "standout" in the html code of the articles, Google News will show the article under the heading of 'featured' on their home page and the news search results, giving added value to the information processing own.

The label "standout" will be invisible to readers, and can only be seen by the automated Google News. According to Google, the use of this label is intended to improve the positioning of the particular content of each medium.

Twitter available on facebook

Facebook will enable the ability to 'tweet' posts

The convergence of social networks seems to increase. Facebook, in its continuous evolution is taking some functions and features of the competition. Among the latest revelation, the company has chosen to offer a system of organization of friends similar to Google + .

Facebook now allows you to follow or be followed by users who are not friends

Facebook has also included the subscription options , which allow to follow or be followed by users who are not friends. This feature provides a clear approach to Twitter and its famous system of 'FOLLOWS' and followers'.

Among the latest updates from Facebook is another development that further contributes to this rapprochement between networks : the ability to link your Facebook account with Twitter . Thus, anyone who wishes can make what you post on Facebook while tweeting appears in the network of 'microblogging'.

Several developers have created applications in the past allowed this link, but Facebook has always been in charge of eliminating them, probably with the intention of launching this possibility without intermediaries.

The reverse option already exists in a while. That is, you can link your Twitter account with Facebook and all messages sent from the first were also published automatically and in the second.

satellite hit earth

A satellite out of control and the size of a bus slam into Earth on Friday

The risk to people is "extremely small".
It is very difficult to anticipate exactly where it will fall.
The U.S. government, which owns the SAT, says that the pieces should not touch or "sold to collectors on eBay."

A satellite the size of a bus will impact Earth on Friday 23 according to the NASA , which closely follows the trajectory of the spacecraft while insisting that the risk for the inhabitants of the planet is "extremely small".

The probability that any of the remains of the satellite of the Upper Atmosphere Research (UARS), which weighs 5675 kilograms, reach a person is very remote according to the U.S. space agency, the figure in one in 3,200.

The probability that any of the remains of the satellite reaches a person is very unlikely for the moment, we only know that the device will impact the space located between the northern latitudes of Canada and southern South America, an area that includes most on the planet, since it is very difficult to estimate precisely where the Earth will one satellite out of control.

This is because any small change in the time that the satellite re-enters the atmosphere resulting in thousands of miles apart in terms of where they hit.


The satellite was expected to arrive in late September or early October, but its decline was brought forward due to the strong increase in solar activity last week.

Thus, NASA hopes that the mill will impact on Earth on Friday, although it is contemplated that can do the day before or the day after this date.

The space agency scientists estimate that the satellite would break apart when they enter the atmosphere and at least 26 major pieces of wit survive the high temperatures of reentry and fall on Earth.

However, NASA insists that the probability that some of the remnants injure a person is "extremely small". In fact, the agency says that since the beginning of the space age has not confirmed any cases in which a person has been injured by a space object re-entry during the maneuver.

There have been no confirmed case in which a person has been injured by a space object re-entry during the maneuver in the event that the satellite debris falling into a populated area or near one, the U.S. Armed Forces warn that citizens should not touch these parts and, instead, have to tell the discovery to the authorities.

This is true not only for safety reasons but also because all traces of the satellite are U.S. government property, so that, they insist, "can not be sold to collectors or through the eBay site. "

The shuttle "Discovery" in 1991 carried the six-ton satellite designed to measure atmospheric changes and the effects of pollution, he made his way back to Earth for six years.

NASA tracks the satellite with foreign space agencies and report on the movement of object as it approaches the Earth.

Social Networks can bring down Great Wall

China is characterized by strong control over all information and opinion online.

Sociologists are increasingly a mission impossible to try to censor the flow of information on the Web as they grow into the possibilities for Internet publishing.

Blogs, forums, microblogging, social networking... multiply, grow and become more powerful "enemies" for a government used to curb freedom of expression.

China stands firm in its battle to control the flow of information circulating on their media and the Internet but are you able to control the Asian country's growing "threat" posed by social networks and the possible effect of such in public ?.

China seeks to control every single move and opinions of the people when in 221 BC Qin Shi Huang, considered the first emperor of unified China, he began building a wall to protect him from the feudal lords who threatened his power, many considered an impossible dream aspiration. Today, more than 22 centuries later, China builds and maintains another wall, invisible but equally effective, a barrier which prevents the free expression of its more than 1,300 million people and hindering the expansion of the Internet in the Asian giant, a project that, according to experts, tries to cover it incomprehensible.

"China wants to control every single move and opinions of the people. It is impossible and a lot of censorship is applied to the Internet there will always be new roads, "said Gao Feng, a sociologist based in Beijing.

The last of these pathways cited by Gao and has given a new twist in the pressure on the Chinese Executive Weibo Network is the most important microblog with more than 200 million users in China, where Twitter is censored.

The publication of some messages with direct accusations to the authorities in cases like the murder of a young woman in Wuhan, capital of central Hubei province, or the resale of bags of donated blood, took the executive to require Weibo to close "accounts that disseminate hoaxes." Thus, the Communist Party secretary for Beijing, Liu Qi, visited the headquarters of Sina Corporation, which owns the microblog, which was quoted by Xinhua, said the Internet companies "should prevent the dissemination of false information and damaging. "

I think the fear of a revolution like those in Egypt and Tunisia are unfounded in China These statements were supported by a government official surnamed Hu and considers "necessary and priority" control those events that put "threat to the stability, progress and advancement China ". For Weibo is the latest in a long list that began in 1996 with the "Temporary Regulations for the Management of Information on the Internet" directive approved by the State Council made ​​permanent and updated as the Internet grew.

Thus, in recent months there have been frequent strenuous efforts of the executive to avoid any mention of jasmine revolution or the "Arab Spring" for fear of contagion, with the internet, take to the streets in a population unhappy about the lack of freedoms.

"I think the fear of a revolution like those of Egypt or Tunisia are unfounded in China. There are people dissatisfied with the work of government but much less to make a protest to bring down this political class, "says Gao.

Unfounded or not, the fear of China's population to know what happens with issues like the repression of the Falun Gong religious group, persecuted and banned in China, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 or Uighur riots of 2009, has made ​​the control Internet from the authorities increasing gradually.

The 'Great Firewall'

According to Fang Binxing, creator of the "Great Firewall" (Great Firewall) last version of this system of censorship, it is applied in two ways, one trial, which affects sites like Facebook, YouTube or Twitter , and other circumstantial executed according current needs and social and political situation.

"We need to control what is posted on the Internet and know who is the source. In fact, many countries like USA, South Korea and some of the European Union have control of content managers, "said Fang.

So far, the model followed by China has been successful and few have been content that has escaped his control. However, the growth of the Internet and, above all, social networks, a challenge for a government that can be lost after many years of struggle, the battle against their most feared enemy, freedom of expression.

TechCrunch's article gives no real technical characteristic of the device, although he does some details are emerging from it, so no one knows for certain what their performance against Nook.

Features, interpreted by the editor of TechCrunch, speak of a tablet without major technological aspirations of an apparatus midrange or low. As mentioned above, will have a seven-inch screen, possibly a single-core processor, 6GB of internal storage (the cloud is very important), no physical buttons on the front, tubeless, with a version with WiFi connectivity (more Later versions will have 3G) and finish rear rubber, very similar to BlackBerry playbook.

With Android

The Android version of the Kindle is based on Froyo Android 2.2 , but is fully modified by Amazon. The entire interface has changed and there is the slightest sign of Google services and applications on the device, but you can run Android applications achieved through Amazon AppStore. Thus, all services use Amazon to read, listen to music and buy applications and articles.

All services use Amazon to read, listen to music or buy other hand, it is assumed that users will not notice any new updates of software , since all the interface of the tablet has been redesigned. The interface has a look similar to Cover Flow that uses Apple. In this view of carousel are books, movies or music. Very smooth interface responds to user actions and the colors are Amazon, that is very black, dark blue and orange.

In portrait mode displays a menu of favorite items on the carousel, which went off when in landscape mode. At the top we have a status bar that displays the time, autonomy and access to notifications.

The application for reading books is very similar to the Apple operating system, IOS, and Google's Android, while the music application connects to the Amazon cloud.

It is recalled that the rumors so far have predicted that Amazon would take the market two tablets , one is the seven-inch Kindle and the other is a 10-inch version, which could see the light in early 2012, if sales of the first match the expectations of the company.

We finally have confirmation of the existence of a tablet from Amazon, but not exactly what many have expected. Only time will tell if the low cost of this tablet will boost your success or modified version of Android to his death. What is clear is that the release date makes it a gift that could become a star for next Christmas.
