#Magnetic Signals Sent through the Human body for Wireless communication Electrical engineers at the University of California, San diego demonstrated a new wireless communication technique that works by sending magnetic signals through the human body.
The new technology could offer a lower power and more secure way to communicate information between wearable electronic devices, providing an improved alternative to existing wireless communication systems,
researchers said. They presented their findings Aug 26 at the 37th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society in Milan, Italy.
Currently, these devices transmit information using Bluetooth radios, which use a lot of power to communicate. We're trying to find new ways to communicate information around the human body that use much less power,
Communicating magnetic signals through the human body The new study presents a solution to some of the main barriers of other wireless communication systems:
Bluetooth technology uses electromagnetic radiation to transmit data, however these radio signals do not easily pass through the human body
and therefore require a power boost to help overcome this signal obstruction, or"path loss."
Researchers showed that the path losses associated with magnetic field human body communication are upwards of 10 million times lower than those associated with Bluetooth radios."
"This technique, to our knowledge, achieves the lowest path losses out of any wireless human body communication system that's been demonstrated so far.
With this magnetic field human body communication system, we hope to significantly reduce power consumption as well as how frequently users need to recharge their devices,
Since this technique is intended for applications in ultra low power communication systems the transmitting power of the magnetic signals sent through the body is expected to be many times lower than that of MRI SCANNERS and wireless implant devices.
Another potential advantage of magnetic field human body communication is that it could offer more security than Bluetooth networks.
Because Bluetooth radio communicates data over the air, anyone standing within 30 feet can potentially eavesdrop on that communication link.
To put this in the context of a personal full-body wireless communication network, information would neither be radiated off the body nor be transmitted from one person to another."

#EU votes down net neutrality protection The European parliament has voted against a set of rules intended to safeguard"net neutrality"in the EU. A series of amendments to a regulation on how internet traffic is managed in Europe were rejected all by MEPS.
Proponents of net neutrality, who demand that web traffic be treated equally by networks, have criticised already the move.
Campaigners have said that provisions for protecting net neutrality in the existing text of the rules are too vague and many worry that it will be easy for internet firms to strike deals with content providers
in which customers can access certain sites and services for free outside their data plans, might become more widespread.
what we use the internet for in 2015 is vastly different from those early days when Tim Berners-Lee was inventing the web,
"commented Chris Green of business consultancy Lewis as he pointed out that the rise of video streaming had placed extra burdens on network companies."
"For them, a two-tier internet makes much more sense, "he told the BBC. What is net neutrality?
is how most people assume the internet works. That's the essence of net neutrality.
For big video streaming sites, the prospect is worrying. They could find themselves coughing up lots of money in fees simply to give their users the same experience as before.
no matter how popular the streaming sites become. How could the rules affect internet use? Part of the problem with the rules in their current form, argued Joe Mcnamee at the European Digital Rights campaign group,
is that they are ambiguous.""As the text currently stands there is no indication as to how much abuse of dominance would be permissible under this arrangement,
The sort of scenarios that could impact internet use include the creation of"fast lanes"and"slow lanes"or the creation of"zero ratings"in
which some services may be accessed without using up any of the internet user's data quota. In Belgium, for example, some mobile phone companies currently allow unlimited access to Twitter
and Facebook while all other data usage is part of a monthly plan. In a few countries such as The netherlands
such practices are allowed not. Who had argued that the amendments be adopted? Besides a host of net neutrality campaigners, inventor of the world wide web Sir Tim Berners-Lee had added his voice to those supporting the amendments."
"he wrote in a blog. And a string of tech companies signed a letter to the president of the European parliament, Martin Schulz,
what deals could be sought by internet firms with content providers. But in other countries, such as India,"zero rating"is allowed."

#Ashley Madison passwords cracked More than 11 million passwords stolen from the Ashley Madison infidelity dating website have been decoded,
When stolen data from the site was dumped first, the encrypted passwords were said to be almost uncrackable because of the way they were scrambled.
But programming changes by the site's developers meant more than a third of the passwords were protected poorly.
The Ashley Madison website was breached by a group of hackers called The Impact Team which stole gigabytes of data including login names and passwords of more than 30 million users.
However, an amateur password cracking group called Cynosure Prime looking through code also stolen from Ashley Madison realised that at some point the site changed the way passwords were stored.
In a blogpost, the group said it had found two insecure functions in the site code that meant it was"able to gain enormous speed boosts in cracking the bcrypt hashed passwords".
and changes the site made to passwords when they were entered by users. By focussing on these vulnerable steps the group has managed already to decipher 11.2 million passwords
The remaining passwords from the site are not susceptible to this attack because they were hashed by code lacking the insecure functions.
It speculated to news site Ars Technica that the insecure hashing system was introduced to ensure that users could log in to the site quickly y

"Paid downloads have long been the primary way listeners consume music, with downloads overtaking physical sales in the US (by volume) back in 2012.
But downloads have gone into decline as faster internet connections have allowed the rise of streaming services, often offering users free access to libraries of millions of tracks,
But as digital downloads decline it risks losing its industry-leading position to challengers like Spotify, Tidal, and others.

If you used a mobile phone to browse the internet back in 2003, then you probably did
so using a technology called wireless application protocol (WAP). It let older mobile phones download data using their cellular service.

They left Europolitan and convinced Hallqvist to join them. Aspiro offered a range of different services using WAP and text messages.
It didn't sell its services direct to consumers but instead sold them onto mobile networks that could include it as part of their bundles.
Aspiro developed interactive games, ringtones, horoscopes, even a system to send fax messages from your phone.

Those companies were selling vast amounts of old-fashioned feature phones in Europe, so Aspiro's products reached millions of customers.

so Aspiro's first office was set up there. But Hallqvist wasn't so keen and preferred Karlskrona
Flickr/sigurdgaaspiro partnered with a Norwegian music store to launch its streaming site. Aspiro focused on WAP for years,
and it developed new services for the mobile network that was quickly becoming antiquated. But it also branched out into other online services,
including music news and search engines. The most important decision in Aspiro's history was the development of a music-streaming service built in conjunction with Platekompaniet,
It used the same strategy that it used for its WAP business to rapidly scale up the business:
Aspiro struck deals with telecoms companies and hardware manufacturers to pick up customers who wouldn't have
Aspiro didn't feel like an old-school telecoms company anymore; this time, it was a tech startup out to disrupt the music industry.

Schlogel also announced that Tidal would support offline playing of music, just like Spotify. The relaunched streaming site would be based around exclusive music and video content,
as well as special live events for subscribers. Tidaltidal became Jay z's music-streaming service. But the most important part of the press conference wasn Schlogel speech;
the site encompasses high quality sound, video, exclusive editorial but there are more features on the way. In time, TIDAL will be not just a streaming service but a platform with enhanced experiences.
"Journalists and amused fans took to Twitter to mock Jay z's ignorance of the fact that people pay taxes
and his music is now available to stream on the site. The backlash against Tidal began in earnest after the New york press conference.
and Swedish news site Breakit claimed that 25 employees in Aspiro's Norway office had also been forced to leave."
Jay z took to Twitter on April 26 to air his views on Tidal.""Stream of consciousness coming in 5, 4, 3, 2,
Another view that Jay z made clear in his Twitter"stream of consciousness"was that he felt that other music-streaming services were out to get him.

it has an entire online-radio station with shows by stars like Josh Homme and Elton john. Getty Images Europeapple hired BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe to present its own online-radio station.
Spotify has also been moving forward and developing new ways to bring in customers. It has launched playlists designed to surface up-and-coming music,
although The Daily mirror (one of the newspapers that partnered with Prince) compared it to his greatest hits. There's no denying that Tidal has come a long way from Aspiro's innovative WAP services in 1998.
