angry tapir writes Mozilla has released only one track field guide to encourage advertisers and publishers to implement not-track (DNT) functionality. The guide contains tutorials, case studies and examples of code for illustrate how companies use technology DNT. Mozilla aims to inspire developers, publishers and advertisers to adopt DNT and wants to control the monitoring of the Internet in the hands of users. The browser maker wants to end behavioral targeting and tracking ubiquitous on the Web. The guide can be found here (PDF).

The copper wire is relatively cheap, malleable and can conduct electricity, but it is far from ideal. Feed the cities requires meters wide and cables, the metal loses a lot of energy as heat. Fortunately, a team of Tel Aviv University think it solved the problem. Take a sapphire fiber Oakridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, he developed a superconducting wire barely thicker than a human hair, which makes 40 times the electricity of his brothers copper. Cooled with liquid nitrogen, superconductors carry current without sapphire heat, which is the key to their effectiveness. The team working on practical applications of the technology – because it is so small and flexible (unlike previous superconductors), it could replace the copper in the home and its cold performance makes it perfect to transmit power to long distances from the stations to green power. The wire goes around the world as we speak and will arise at the conference in Baltimore in October ATSC. Anyone who makes jokes about son and Baltimore will be asked to leave politely.

Dell is refining some of the options on its Precision M6600 and M4600 mobile workstations. You can now choose to add 512GB SSD SATA3 and (in the case of the M6600) a 4 GB NVIDIA Quadro 5010M card. The interesting thing though is that the 6600 has space for three drives: two full size and mini-card slot. This means you could fit this beast of 17.3 inches with a pair of 512 GB SSD and a 128GB SSD for a total of 1.1TB of storage in solid form. Of course, with each half-terabyte drive to add a whopping $ 1120 at the cost of this work lappy it’s not exactly for those on a budget. But we would not be surprised to see the fallout of high-end platforms, portable gaming (we want you to Alienware) fairly quickly.

An anonymous reader wrote: Scott James Remnant, the manager of the former leader of the Ubuntu developer Ubuntu, Canonical and current technical advice, proposed a process of releasing new monthly for Ubuntu Linux. It recognizes that the six months provided there are features found and landing too early, leaving them in a safe condition for users. With its proposed monthly Remnant hopes relieve this by manipulating the alpha, beta, and releases of normal at the same time. Canonical is not known whether to accept the policy right now.

Already this week we present some of the innovations of the Finnish company Nokia. This time it was the turn of Nokia Nokia C5 C5-03, the elder brother, mobile, and we present some time ago in Gizmos

The C5-03 Nokia is characterized by a small device (weighing only 90 grams) that complements its predecessor with a touch screen and a few other caracterísitcas that make him a market price that is very complete smartphone offered 170 euros .

Besides the touch screen 3, 2 inch, the Nokia C5-03 features a 5 megapixel camera that allows video, radio and GPS connection, Bluetooth, WiFi and USB.

As for memory, the Nokia C5-03 has 40 megabytes internal, which can be transformed into a maximum of 16 GB if you use a microSD card, if the series includes a 2 Gb

As operating system Nokia C5-03 works with a Symbian, which hitherto was known as a Symbian S60. The camera menu offers a good collection of icons provide direct access to email accounts and social networks.

Some highlight applications of Nokia C5-03 are access to Nokia Music Store and Ovi Store, from which you can buy music or mobile applications for Nokia. On the other hand, the Nokia C5-03 provides a display of all Microsoft Office documents, PDF and ZIP.

The price of Nokia C5-03 that we discussed will be 170 euros.

If you lived under a rock: the motion controls are all the rage these days. And it’s not just console manufacturers who want in on the action. ASUS , Philips and Hillcrest Labs have all launched their own takes technology. Movea is a company that is well versed in the field, and now plans to start to offer its products directly to TV and STB manufacturers. The platform not only offers MoveTV remote technology to OEMs, but open tools for enterprise developers building games and applications. Movea even announced its first partners: C and M Media, a major cable provider in Korea, and the solution remotely . Remote Solution will be allowed SmartMotion Movea and integration in the MoveTV decoders provided to C and M. Soon enough using gestures to change channels and play arm-debated interpretations of angry birds on your cable box may be the standard. Watch the video, PR and a peak of more after the break.

Think it’s time to change our patent system ? It is the Congress. Yesterday, the Senate approved the Act on America invented by a 89-8 vote that could make more drastic changes in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in five decades. Under the plan, the House approved in June, patents are not awarded to the first person to invent a technology, but the first to actually file with the USPTO, bringing U.S. policy in line with the protocol adopted in most other countries. It also calls for a simplified application process and would allow the USPTO to charge fees set for all applications. Revenues generated by these fees would go directly to a maximum reserve fund, which keeps the office of the lion’s share of the money instead to channel a large part in the Congress, as was the norm.

Proponents say the extra revenue will give the USPTO more power to nibble the delay of about 700,000 patent applications, while a new system will help eliminate third challenge patents that would never have approved of the first place. Opponents, meanwhile, criticized the bill for not eliminate diversion at all costs (an amendment that would have placed tighter restrictions was finally killed, for fear it would jeopardize the passage of the proposed law), with Washington Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell questioning the impact of legislation on small business, calling it a great gift company patents that tramples on the rights of small inventors. But Senator Patrick Leahy, a Democrat Vermont, which sponsored the project, argued that approval yesterday marks a major turning point in history and U.S. Patent Policy:

Creativity that drives our economic engine has made America the world leader in invention and innovation. America invented legislation will ensure that inventors, large and small to maintain the competitive advantage that has put America at the height of global innovation. This is landmark legislation. It is good policy.

America invented law will now make its way to the office of President Obama, which is expected to receive his signature. For more information on legislation, see the links below.

Watch the video above closely, because you might just miss the point: according to the latest post on building blog MSDN Windows 8, Microsoft next-gen desktop OS will see a huge thank you improved startup time with intelligent technology. Instead of closing both the user session and the session of the nucleus in a ruling traditional Windows 8 will be to preserve the session of the kernel on the disk, creating a hiberfile which is much smaller than traditional Windows hibernation – see diagram after the break for a clearer picture. The result is an incredibly fast system start – even with the battery removed to begin with – who claims to be 30 to 70 percent faster than most systems tested by Microsoft. We are eager to test this feature on a SSD, but until then, head on the MSDN blog for the full technical explanation.
