How Apple threatens Internet advertising – Tribune de Genève

For each of our passages on the Internet, more or less interesting pubs intrusive assail the screen of our computers. We have all experienced those videos that start automatically, these forms that burst in the foreground or to these waiting times that require us to watch an ad.

This market Online advertising is growing: investment in these ads will represent, in 2015, 170 billion dollars (about 164 billion), according to the specialized website eMarketer. American giants Google and Facebook are the primary beneficiaries, respectively holding 38% and 17% market share.

But the software exists to prevent advertisements impair playback on the Web, are the “Ad Block”. And a third Web giant, Apple (AAPL 112.76 – 0.47% ) is well aware that many users are irritated by this advertising, sometimes very invasive

<. p> As part of the launch of its latest operating system iOS 9 in September, the California firm predicted that the first version allows and facilitates the use of “Ad Block” extensions. A beautiful rat race is to be expected between the titans of the Internet.

Easier to use

Yannick Dürst, founder and CEO of the company Geneva Atipik – first Swiss company to offer an application connected to the watch Apple – summarizes how these programs: “The principle of a Adblocker is the same as that of a virus, it detects in the pages you see the ads that are inserted and it replaces either a blank area or removes the HTML code in the page, which results not to display the ads. “One of the best known systems is adblockplus , created in 2006 by Wladimir Palant as an extension of Firefox search engine. According to Ben Williams, spokesman for the system, which is managed by the German firm based in Cologne EYEO GmbH, adblockplus counts currently more than 400 million downloads.

This success demonstrates expectations Internet users. And developments promised by Apple will undoubtedly simplify these systems. “Before you had to be a” geek “to control them. But not anymore. If iOS 9 facilitates their use, ad blockers will be open to the public, “says Xavier Studer, who writes a blog on new technologies.

While some see it as a nuisance, others see a major resource. This is explained a spokesman for Google: “Online ads enable services and sites to remain free on the Web.” Today, it is largely thanks to the publicity the Web – including the online press – remain mostly free. Using these online advertisements blockers reduced revenues websites and sometimes put in danger. Indeed, online ads relate to the number of page views or clicks on them. More people use ad blockers, unless the ads are seen and sites collect less money for their operation. The spokesman for Google calls these systems “symptoms of bad experiences online consumer.” Google has every reason to see the ad blockers with suspicion since advertising represents about 90% of the revenues of the company in the first quarter of 2015. And it is the same for Facebook, whose share of Advertising revenues amounted in 2014 to 92% of its turnover. As a number of companies, these large groups depend on online advertising and live.

“A frontal attack”

If the advertisements are banned from Apple devices, the consequences could be serious for many companies. “In 2014, over $ 11.8 billion in advertising revenue earned by Google and from smartphones or tablets, $ 8.9 billion came through the iPhone and iPad manufactured by Apple,” according to an estimate of the bank Goldman Sachs relayed by Yannick Dürst.

He said the next launch prepared by the Cupertino company is “a frontal attack against Google” since Apple will not only develop the use of adblockers on these devices directly, but indirectly it could democratize their use on computer. “The free Internet that we know today is brought to disappear” after the founder of Atipik. Many websites, including many media, live online ads. “Change the display of a web page that was published with ads back to remove advertising in newspapers or to remove billboards without even asking your permission,” said Xavier Studer.

The development of ad blockers is a danger to the current economic model of the web. This expert also recalls that the “Ad Block” does not work on the applications of the firm at the apple: Apple can thus channeling advertising. Yannick Dürst also sees a means among others to do it go through the applications to use as little as possible the search engines. Interest in Apple is of course because economic levies taxes on income it distributes all applications. Advertising is the heart of the free Internet model, a spokesman for Google said that his group “continues to invest in advertising to make it more meaningful and useful for users, ensuring they have the choice of what they see, and help publishers to finance their content. ” But the hatchet seems unearthed

New technologies and whether to have less to do … – Info DSI

The computer now fully part of everyday life: computers, tablets, smartphones, external hard drives, USB and other devices still key – all aimed at . use and meet specific needs

Two trends characterize our current uses of digital:

– The amount of data we accumulate is increasingly important. Our whole life is now scanned photos, paperwork, invoices or agendas. Beyond the amount of data, it is also the desire to access it at any time that characterizes our daily lives.
 - Our diversified digital entertainment. Consumption and sharing of music and video continues to grow, be it streaming or download. We also pay more and more time to other activities such as video games, creating blogs and websites or graphics.

As part of these uses, we in a race to the equipment, which can be costly to the individual – both financially and in terms of security. Financially, the accumulation of all these new technologies – be it software or hardware – can quickly be very costly to the individual. But security also a danger exists. Some data is stored on external hard drives, others on old USB sticks, others only on the Smartphone or on the computer or tablet. The proliferation of devices entails a de facto increase in local storage of our data. But we do not always think to save them, for lack of knowledge or time.

And if a majority of these needs could be met by a single device? NAS, tools at the forefront of technology, can meet many of these needs. It is therefore possible for the user to acquire an innovative and multi-tasking solution, without committing more fresh.

The first function of the NAS is storage. The apparatus can handle a very large amount of data and adapt to the needs of the user through the establishment of hard drives have a greater or lesser capacity. For added security, it is also possible to store data on the NAS and save them automatically to the cloud, or on a second remote NAS. In case of burglary, theft of NAS, or accidents (fire, flood, etc.), data remains secure and can be retrieved at any time by the user.

In addition to secure data, NAS – via its multiple applications – also can meet many needs related to digital entertainment

To optimize the multimedia experience
.
 Once the unit on and connected to a monitor or a TV via HDMI or DLNA, users can instantly access the entire contents of the media library, but also to various applications of streaming and downloading. For fans of VO, subtitles can also be detected automatically and synchronized with the video. No need to Blu-ray players, or hard drives to connect and disconnect the TV or Internet box. The user can also access all this content through mobile devices. Thus, each family member can, on his smartphone, his tablet or computer, enjoy all the contents of the NAS, whether at home or thousands of kilometers with a simple Internet connection.

Monitor Home
 Whenever one or more compatible IP cameras are connected to its network, the NAS has an integrated video surveillance and free software. It automatically detects movement and is able to save videos suspect passages. The NAS can also send alerts by email or SMS in case of intrusion suspicion.

 Whether for business purposes (freelancers, home-based businesses) or for personal needs, more and more people develop their own website. The NAS allows hosting its own website, but also its own email and FTP servers.

Creating multimedia content
 The exponential amount of videos and photos posted on social networks continues to prove it: today we are likely to create our own multimedia content – from passion, or by simply need to keep our memories. The NAS, in addition to secure its data also allows the creation of virtual albums or smart media libraries facilitating the classification and sorting files. Share on social networks and websites is also facilitated with automatic sharing options.

Replace the computer
 The NAS can be seen as an improved version and design of our old CPU, simply plug in a mouse, a keyboard and a screen to navigate and use its multiple applications and software – just as one might do on a conventional computer.

This is where some of the most common characteristics of SIN, many other uses are possible. The NAS represents, in a sense, the future of new technologies and high-tech home. Geeks, like the early adopters are already familiar with the product and are familiar with various market players. Although the general public is still not necessarily ready to make this change, the technology, it is already fully functional. It is now more than a matter of time before you see the NAS to settle gradually in all rooms.

A sharp eye on new technologies – Cross

The title of his thesis looks like a title of science fiction novel for academics: Humans, machines, cyborgs, the informational paradigm in imaginary technician . In other words ? “What is the representation are the engineers of the technology? The machines that create roboticists are the mirror image they have of the human “, said Daniela Cerqui, at table in the kitchen of his apartment Lausanne. Warm and hospitable, she expounds on anthropology techniques while preparing a vitello tonnato .

“My interest in anthropology is probably linked to the migratory journey of my family. “ His parents, Lombards, come to settle in the canton of Vaud in the late 1950s when she was born in 1967. ” The arrival of Italians in Switzerland at that time, it was culture shock! “ During his schooling, she is a victim of ambient xenophobia.

Cahiers

After failing in medicine, Daniela Cerqui is redirects sociology-anthropology. “Wear a look at the company corresponded to what I wanted to take in my life. “ She landed a position as a PhD student at the University of Lausanne under the direction of Gerald Berthoud.

Anthropologist techniques, he worked on” externalization “techniques in humans . A theory developed by his mentor, paleontologist André Leroi-Gourhan, a professor at the College of France, for whom this is the tool that distinguishes man from the animal, the humanization process through technology.

“ I’m no computer, but the study of the technology fascinated me. From my thesis, in 2005, I saw take place slippage between therapeutic medicine and improvement of the human body, which were unaware scientists I met. “

Transhumanism

How then explain that she continued to work in Redding, England, with the researcher least in tune with his ideas? The British cybernetician Kevin Warwick has implanted a microchip in 1998 in the arm able to move a robotic hand mimics the movements of his to the other side of the world via the Internet.

“Kevin Warwick is the tip of the iceberg. He just fifteen years ahead of the rest of society, already transhumanist without admitting it. Moreover, the scientific community considers him a crackpot. “ Yet, in 2012, a British government report listait among the drivers of economic growth both experiments Warwick!

The price of lucidity

Since this work, Daniela Cerqui teaches anthropology techniques at the University of Lausanne, made numerous trips abroad for conferences and acts as an expert in the reflection group on new technologies.

She has not published his thesis. “I prefer to write in a mainstream magazine in a magazine read by thirty sociologists” , said Daniela Cerqui which does not always have the recognition that it would like its peers. The price of lucidity?

Study: new technologies are often not even … – Caradisiac.com

The more time passes, more automakers are looking to develop new technologies and complexity of the cars already loaded with electronics and computers. But what about the client side? According to an interesting study by JD Power, a large part of new car buyers are never used to these technologies

Automakers are launched for a number of years in the fast-developing technology of all kinds: connectivity, driver assistance, and now autonomous car. Everything is there to assist the driver, brighten his journey with the media, sometimes even to saturate the information of all kinds. For my part, I had already stated in our columns that the abundance of technologies is mainly imposed by manufacturers (not a real need expressed by the customer base), and the recent study conducted by JD Power goes into this (the title of the study is suggestive: “ manufacturers spend billions in technologies that will are not even used by consumers “.)

According to the latter (which covers 4,200 buyers), “at least 20%” of new vehicle owners have never used 16 of the 33 technologies that were considered for the study. According to JD Power, 35% never use the assisted parking, or automatic parking system (which could yet prove useful), 33% have never used the HUD, or 32% have never used applications through connectivity.

Worse, 14 important technologies that are present in newer vehicles, as Apple carplay, Android Auto, voice control for messages or search by voice, not interested buyers who would “no” during their next purchase (if possible, of course …). Most “unwanted technologies” (those that are unwanted) concern connectivity and entertainment, especially among Generation Y (those born between 1977 and 1994).

Save with new communication technologies – LesAffaires.com

To equip its employees last cry appliances, building an IT infrastructure to support IP telephony, form his network maintenance staff … then start again to stay current in a rapidly changing technology environment. This is a contract!

This reality, few small businesses have the resources, time or even the taste of them dedicating full. Because they have other fish to fry as look after the heart of their business, among others.

This is why, in telephony, SMEs have every interest in considering unified communications ( CU) cloud, as they can now enjoy the same services as large companies, but without having to do everything and to pay all their profits.

Invest where it counts

For an SME, the first advantage to adopt the unified communications cloud is measured in money.

The entire system is managed by a cloud provider that deals everything from maintenance to upgrade the network through the data storage and management of security settings.

In doing so, beyond the economies of scale achieved by not by dealing with a single supplier, we eliminate the expenses related to the purchase of equipment (in addition to the telephone sets) and avoids having to pay IT resources to ensure the functionality of the system.

According to an estimate produced in 2012 by the 8×8 company, located in San Jose (California), the initial investment for a cloud-based unified communications solution for a company with 55 employees is $ 50,000 less than that required to adopt a conventional telephony system on IP.

Subsequently, an SME only has to pay a predictable monthly amount and set depending on the selected features and number employees who benefit

This is also another advantage of cloud CU. we only pay for the services needed, unlike traditional telephony solutions that often involve the ‘difficult to resize equipment. Still according to the estimate of 8×8, one can thus expect annual savings of about $ 20,000.

For a small business, do not have to spend large sums upstream to allow its employees to communicate is a real gain. This allows to allocate more money to projects essential to the growth of the company. The unified communications solution will become a monthly fixed expense, as well as rent or home maintenance costs.

Maximize the productivity of your team

Another advantage of cloud unified communications is the increase in employee efficiency in everyday life.

Let’s see what happens when a customer calls an SME chose to unify its communications .

With a virtual receptionist, the customer call is routed to the right person. The latter is moving, but always reachable, as if she were in his position. So she takes the call of his smart phone. Always her mobile device, she adds key information in the client record may consult a colleague from his computer … at home.

Now let snags prevented with CU cloud . An employee did not bother responding to a call that did not concern him. The customer did not have to leave a voice message. An employee did not have to check voice messages, note the customer number … and it is not itself across a voicemail reminding the customer! Finally, another employee could work from home without impairing its effectiveness.

together, these small gains in productivity are a team manages to deliver the goods despite its small size.

This is without mentioning that, in general, the UC solution gives the impression to the customer he calls a big business, unaware that this firm has spent a fraction of cost system for big business.

The future for business communications is now accessible even to smaller companies.

To take advantage of all the benefits unified communications (one number per employee, conference calling, shared whiteboard, unified network for voice and data, etc.), TELUS Business Connection solution, for example, only costs $ 35 per user per month (from the second user) and no additional equipment is required.

Thanks to cloud unified communications, small business have never been better equipped to take their game.

The new technologies have helped the Chinese armed forces to better prepare for the big military parade on September 3. The parade will also be the opportunity to show new weapons.

The Chinese navy has installed laser rangefinders in vehicles participating in the parade so they can maintain a specific distance from each other, said Sunday the Xinhua News Agency Fan Hui, head of training of the Chinese navy.

The satellite navigation system Beidou company has been used to improve the accuracy of the training and to create a digital simulation of the parade and simplify the plan and layout.

Digital fastest cameras were used to monitor the performance of soldiers.

The tanks of assault participating in the parade on September 3 are equipped with a new digital imaging system incorporating a camera, rangefinder and monitoring and data processing systems.

The parade marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

A total of 12,000 military personnel, 500 facilities and 200 aircraft will be presented at this event.

A behind. Unfortunately, this is the finding that the use of ICT by the Algerian administration. While our neighbors begin economic, scientific and cultural, pulled up by the use of ICT at all levels of their respective companies in Algeria will require ironing.

ICTs, rather than being generalized, continue to be the exception in a country that has yet more than necessary. While initiatives here and there have been attempted by some particular departments, but it is clear that catching up is gargantuan. However, all indicators suggest that our country can easily get into the digital age. A young population, curious, trained and hyper connected. A deployment of IT tools and telephony more than acceptable. Grabbing fairly reasonable ICT. Skills you want in, here is. Universities and training centers to tip, and huge investments. Do not miss a little help.

Yes but now it’s not enough. With few exceptions, the lambda Algeria continues to move for procedures that can easily lead to distance in a continent country. Tons of papers that constitute our various administrative records have not been replaced by digital documents. The deployment of the Internet remains low, and while 3G explodes in popularity, its prices remain prohibitive. Why Algeria does not skip the step to finally go in a digital age
full? Why does not she undertakes measures that can only be beneficial to him? Why not benchmark the many examples around us? Maybe is it a question of will.

In a hyper centralized country, the decisions from above take longer to be transcribed in the field. Thousands of overdue projects complain, and the finding that one can do is deplorable. But in return, an order to change things can lead to an uplifting speed in taking action. The recent arrival of a young ICT Minister does change things? Mrs. Houda-Imane Feraoun she is on a mission to bring Algeria in the digital age? Wait & amp; See.

BIOMETRIC PASSPORT, AN EVIL FOR A PROPERTY

Despite this, efforts have been made . The digital generation pushing some trials initiated by certain departments > Departmental have already proven themselves, despite their small number. There will thus passport and biometric ID card. When the requirement to have a biometric passport was introduced in 2010, Algeria found itself obliged to modernize the documents of his fellow citizens, much against his will. A backwards, the authorities have started building this new “paper” which sought new materials, uncontrolled modern procedures, and therefore unplanned investments. But it was just time to grasp the importance of such a document also looking for a country on its internal security than ours. In the process, the biometric ID card is also provided and these are Algerian citizens soon equipped with ultramodern documents and unfalsifiable.

When in 2014 Gemalto , a French company -hollandaise, is chosen by the Mint for making these documents, the machine is started. It remains to find a way to manage the flow of applicants, more and more increasing with the improvement of living standards of the Algerians. And again the authorities innovate. A passport in a month, this is the challenge that will launch once the Algerian daïras. The citizens are not subject to the requirement that the presence of depositing and withdrawal, all by appointment. An SMS is then sent to new owners. Very facilitated procedures that have been delighting users … until the announcement of the price increase of the tax stamp required to obtain the passport.

SCAN STATE CIVIL REVOLUTION

At the local level, it is a political decision that made the difference. A not counted, the authorities decided in 2013 to digitize vital documents and to have everything in one national registry. Repeatedly postponed, no one then thought of the revolution qu’entreprenait the Algerian administration at that time. This new way of doing was to enable any citizen to withdraw most of his papers throughout Algeria, in any town of any city. No need to travel to their places of birth to be issued a birth certificate No. 12. Exit clerical errors by hand, illegible names, and other manual errors.

administered could be issued a birth certificate by computer, containing a Barcode which distinguishes it and ensure its authenticity. A revolution that Algerians did not see coming, perhaps tired of broken promises for decades by guardianship. But now, 2 years later, we could not believe our eyes. Much shorter queues or no outside town halls urban centers repealed unnecessary travel, eased procedures, a huge time saver, stress, fatigue, and anger and less. Scanning documents of civil status has been beneficial to everybody. According to figures provided by the Interior Ministry, about 56800000 documents were scanned, and the operation continues.

New technologies have an impact on our memory – RTL info

How many phone numbers do you know by heart? For many people, they can be counted on the fingers of one or both hands or on one or two fingers. Our brains they would become under-trained and lazy? With smartphones, we no longer need to memorize numbers, they do it for us in large quantities and without effort.

1 in 3 does not know the number of his partner

A total of 34% of Europeans over 16 years would not know it from their partner’s phone number. For older, there is a risk. “ I think you have to learn the multiplication tables, you have to memorizing efforts. This is useful for the functioning of the brain and gray matter ,” said a witness interviewed by Vincent Jamoulle . “ We have a brain, you have to use it from time to time. It is so easy to be seen, I’m not sure that’s a good idea ,” said a Liégeoise .

Specialists reassure
