China's Huawei launches smartphone to conquer Europe

Chinese brand had already made it big last year , organizing the global launch of its smartphone Ascend P6 in London, in the heart of the European market where Huawei, a leading Chinese telecommunications seeks to develop. So far, the Chinese produced input phones and midrange . But the situation has changed .

This year, Huawei has chosen to launch the Ascend P7 in Paris. The manufacturer submitted Wednesday, May 7 smartphone with stylish design and functionality developed to satisfy a clientele fond of sophisticated devices. Performance , very thin ( 6.5 mm thick ) designed for 4G , with 2 gigabytes of RAM, the Ascend P7 allows to make beautiful selfies with its 8-megapixel front camera . Its features include a power-saving mode that extends the life of the laptop twenty-four hours when battery reaches 10% , and software to navigate perfectly between 3G and 4G according to the network status. The smartphone , which works with a customized version of Android will be available for purchase at the beginning of June.

Huawei is far from being a beginner on French soil . This giant telecommunications network built 40% of mobile phone antennas in the world. But Huawei wants more: builder and manufacturer, it wants to become a brand, and has to do this on the seductive power of Ascend. "We want to be known for our phones said Andrew Connell , marketing director , responsible for developing devices for Western Europe , and offer the best technology. " A 449 euros - in the case of a non-subsidized purchase - the Ascend P7 indeed offers functionality and a design worthy of the iPhone ( Apple) or Galaxy (Samsung).

SE NAME AND BUILD AN IMAGE

Third largest manufacturer of phones , Huawei still has some way to go to position against its competitors , " the gap between us is still important ," admits Mr. Connell , who was in Paris for the launch of the smartphone. But it must be the spearhead of the transition. Huawei plans to sell 10 million devices Ascend P7, against 5 million for its predecessor, the Ascend P6 .

To build a name and image in Europe , Huawei not only boasts the excellence of its technology ; it also wants to occupy the land by other means . The brand has partnered with Paris Saint -Germain , like many other football clubs in Europe, to promote the growth of its recognition by the public. "The use of this type of platform has worked very well in Spain ," says Connell .

In France , the brand begins to awaken interest : the recognition rate increased from 10 % to 27% in one year. If its products are still confidential , the brand is a major player in the industry: it filed 20% of world patents on 4G technology. A huge share of world research in this area , when compared with Huawei's market share in the mobile phone in the world, which did not exceed 5 % in the first quarter, according to figures from TrendForce cabinet.

A Japanese man arrested for guns created with a 3D printer

A Japanese 27 years was arrested Thursday, May 8 in the suburbs of Tokyo for manufactured home with a three-dimensional printer ( 3D) several guns capable of firing , according to images broadcast by NHK public broadcaster . Yoshitomo Imura , employee of a university, acknowledged the facts but assured that he was unaware that his actions were outlawed.

The person who lives in Kawasaki (near Tokyo) , had posted there some time on the Internet a video showing the weapons created with 3D printer, which put a flea in the ear of the police .

According to security services quoted by NHK , were found five guns manufactured home as well , including two with shooting abilities . However, no bullet was discovered.

3D printers are a bit larger objects than traditional printers that create objects highlighted by layering thin layers of plastic or other fondues, from data created on computer. Consumer models are now on sale in Japan from 450 euros. This is the first time a Japanese stopped for this reason, NHK said .

Nintendo in the red because of the Wii U

Pokemon of the father is not in top form . The giant Nintendo video games announced Wednesday, May 7 , a net loss of € 170 million for its fiscal year from April 2013 to March 2014. Its turnover fell by 10 % , reaching 4.2 billion. Concerned, his last two games consoles have not had the expected success.

Wii U home console output end of 2012, will have elapsed at 2.72 million units worldwide for the year of 2013-2014 . The Japanese company hopes to have sold 9 million to December 2013 and had revised downwards its objectives , targeting 2.80 million .

WII U AWAY SUCCESS OF THE WII

We are very far from the success of the Wii, the previous generation console, released in 2006 , which has sold over 100 million copies. Satoru Iwata , CEO of Nintendo, already acknowledged in February that its consoles , especially the Wii U, had not yet found their audience and suffered from shortcomings.

"The machine was poorly thought. Many people do not understand the usefulness of the gamepad (joystick) that also integrates tactile elements , "says Julien Villedieu , Delegate of the National Union of gaming.

The results of the 3DS , the portable feature of the Kyoto group console, has left, mixed: 12.24 million machines were sold worldwide in twelve months , against the 13.5 million hoped for. The goal , however, is slightly exceeded for related games carried by the success of Pokemon, Zelda or Mario 68 million units sold against 66 million hoped for.

So, the Japanese company has lost much of its luster. On the gaming industry , it represents only 16% of consoles sold worldwide . In 2008, she still held 46% of the market.

ENOUGH NOT FOCUSED ON SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS

" The consoles and games are Nintendo craft heart." Pronounced on February 4 , at a conference in Tokyo this sentence M.Iwata summarizes the continuing strategy of the Japanese pioneer of video games.

The latter has been little investment in applications on smartphone or tablet , the two supports of the hottest games the last two or three years. He hopes rather enjoy the installed base of 3DS to boost sales of associated games, and wants to add features to its Wii U hoping to give him the missing appeal.

However, times are good games on smartphone. In 2018 , gaming applications should reach 35 % share of the video game market , against 23% for console games according to research firm IHS Technology.

In Japan , sales of consoles and associated games fell 9 % in 2013 compared to 2012 and 40% from 2007 to 2013 inclusive . The country of the Rising Sun has even become the world's largest market for smartphone applications in October 2013, before the United States , thanks to dedicated gaming.

Nintendo but do not despair . Confident about its future investments , the group hopes for the coming year ( April 2014 to March 2015) an increase of 3.2 % of its turnover to 4.7 billion euros and an operating profit of € 283 million .

Declare or télédéclarer ?

The objective of the 2014 campaign, developed by the Agency Stakeholders on behalf of the Ministry of Finance, is to " increase the number of French who report their income online " on the site Impots.gouv.fr . "We had to find the right tone , based on the offset and popular personality Lucienne Moreau, on a subject that is not necessarily ready to laugh ," says Hervé Brasselet , partner in the agency.

A 81 -year-old actress is known for his column "The Lucienne live report " in " Le Petit Journal " on Canal + , her needlework in a commercial for Cetelem and its radio operations on the morning wave of Virgin Radio. With its contribution to the three video tutorials of social networking component of the Tax Administration campaign, it adds a new string to his bow and " makes (almost) cool the tax return ," she retweet about him @ LucienneMoreau1 .

" There were more than 13 million returns online in 2013, ahead Bruno Bezard , general manager of public finances. We hope to exceed that figure in 2014 but we have no specific goal to achieve . " Lucienne to the rescue!

" FINISH laugh "

The first part of this video triptych posted on Monday, May 5 YouTube channel DGFiP Media, explains the basics of online reporting . In twenty-four hours, it has been viewed more than 17 000 times.

Should we in this emerging success Lucienne humorous ? The grandmother is installed, facing the camera in a Chesterfield sofa. "Stop there, what's that ? , She asked the intruder in the field. A microphone ? It annoys me, " she says by way of introduction , before adding: " No more laughing . I'll show you how to declare tax on the Impots.gouv.fr site. "

Computer on her lap , reporting and tax notice received by post under the elbow , Lucienne invites the vidéospectateur to connect to Impots.gouv.fr , ensuring previously that " it will address, not too complicated ? Dropoff window. "It's super simple , provides Lucienne . And more, it is the environment - 200 tonnes of paper saved in 2013 - the birds , bears, clams. I like it clams. " Not a penny heavy for Lucienne . This is my statement.

BUZZ - Why your photo will work on social networks

Why a picture she becomes popular ? This issue has attracted the attention of several US researchers have created an algorithm in response to know , even before its publication on social networks , successful experience as a photo.

From the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT ), these scientists have collected data from 2.3 million photos from Flickr to finally realize that they could anticipate the popularity of an image from its content and what they call the "social context". Among the factors considered in the algorithm -specific elements in the image such as color, textures , gradients, and these objects, but also various contextual elements , such as the number of friends and photos posted by the user.

    Colors. More colors appearing in the picture is bright and clear , over the supposed popularity of your photo is high .
    Objects. Researchers have categorized some specific objects and detailed impact. Among those who will have a positive effect on the popularity of your photo are the Bikini, a perfume or a revolver. Conversely, the appearance of a spatula, a laptop computer or a booster heater on your shot will not success.
    Action. The presence of human beings and actions or activities are associated with a higher popularity of the image.

This research is particularly interesting as the MIT website offers anyone to upload a photo on its platform and know its potential to become popular on the web.

Nike reduces the wing on its connected bracelets

At the time everyone spends more and more time to monitor their health and well-being, Nike's decision to trim its dedicated teams FuelBand , bracelet connected (smart band) , has surprising. The information was initially provided by the site Cnet , which evokes massive layoffs in the division dedicated to the darling object of athletes and phobic of inactivity.

The firm has denied wanting to stop marketing the bracelet, but said his efforts would turn more towards the application related to smart band . The trade press has drawn the conclusion that no new version of FuelBand would be placed on the market . And point to some technical weaknesses of it , Nike is still a beginner in the field of data collection and analysis. Expensive to develop and not so easy to sell because of its price ( over a hundred euros ), the FuelBand will better meet the requirements of users in a highly competitive environment . Hence the decision to Nike to focus its development efforts on the software part associated with the bracelet.

Mark Parker , CEO of Nike , interviewed on CNBC , guaranteed that its partnership with Apple, the software part , continued . Apple is its highly anticipated side in this segment : the name " iWatch " was introduced there several months , and speculation is rife about the possibilities of a connected health shows Apple.

According to figures published by the research firm Canalys , the demand for smart bands is expected to reach 17 million units in 2017. The Fitbit dominates the market for basic bracelets, followed by the Jawbone Up . Nike comes in third position. As for bands smart "smart" Samsung is the leader with his bracelet Gear. In France , the historical manufacturer of scales, Terraillon , will launch on the market in May with the Activit Band bracelet, also coupled to an application

Competition is fierce among the various portable devices : most of the objects provides a measure of physical activity ( usually in "points" , each brand has its own system, it is not necessarily obvious to them trace ) , and a calorie counting. The reliability of this type of measurement is medically questionable , and several studies have highlighted significant distortions between the same action on several different dipositifs .

The largest flat screen in the world is in super HD

 Developed by Japanese manufacturers Panasonic and NHK , this display
 Giant opens the door in super HD broadcasting , scheduled by 2020. Its
 image resolution of 33 million pixels will be 16 times higher than HD displays
 current .

 Increasing the size of flat panel displays for television reception explained
 as the shift to super HD.
 So far, the increase in resolution is paying much more
 to LCD technology . NHK and Sharp had also announced in May 2011
 LCD 2 meters diagonally compatible with the television
 super HD. The first images in super HD industry history
 audiovisual were captured and broadcast by the BBC in certain
 sporting events of the Olympic Games in London in August 2012.
 But getting super HD images with the technology plasma
 revealed difficult because of the fact more tightening plasma cells provo-
 cated electromagnetic interference between pixels.
 Panasonic and NHK have circumvented this problem by developing a screen
 3.7 meters diagonally aligns the pixels pitch of 0.4 mm.
 Resolution image is 33 million pixels ( 4320 lines of 7680 pixels) , against 2 million pixels for
 current flat screens ( 1080 lines of 1920 pixels ) .
 Although this giant plasma does not use 3D technology, ultra realistic picture offers bluffing immersion
 ( See video) . The next challenge will be to get a great HD resolution on smaller screens.

  new technology called Xsense. Designed by Atmel, this film
  transparent and touchscreen may revolutionize the look and use of equipment
  Electronic everyday.

  The film has Xsense printed sensors with metallic ink.
  The sensors with excellent conductivity are protected by over-
  transparent and flexible face, which can then be placed on any item
  curved. The possibilities for use are endless. This could for flexible film
  example, be applied to the curved surface of a coffee maker, calculator
  or trice a vehicle dashboard. One can also imagine a smart-
  curved full touch phone, back, front and sides. thanks to
  This printing technology on the film, the sensors have the advantage of
  consume less energy, but also to be less sensitive to para-
  websites, offering more precision. They will also be less costly to produce.
  The Atmel manufacturer ensures that this new technology will be present in a few months.
  Some manufacturers already have samples of Xsense film could offer products equipped with this

Smart bed , the bed that is done alone

 Who has not bitched morning seeing her bed totally defeated ? The Spanish firm
 OHEA found the solution to address the plight of making the bed every morning.
 The Smart Bed bed has an automatic system that detects if the bed is Not em-
 cupé before deploying two mechanical arms on the sides of the mattress.
In seconds , they put up the sheet and slides under the
 pillows, raised by two levers.
 The video below is quite impressive . However, the system is completely
 ment ineffective if the sheet is completely removed from the bed
 Still in prototype stage , the Smart Bed, however, should be
 marketed shortly and available in several sizes
 and colors. But the manufacturer has not announced its price.

Stunning holographic table

 Russian engineers Nettle company recently presented a table
 displaying on the screen a holographic 3D effect bluffing. Dubbed Nettlebox 2
 this table requires the use of 3D glasses , to visualize objects
 3D views from different angles.
The image gives the impression of floating above the screen , although it
 these are not exactly a hologram . The technology used is
 based in fact on a distortion of the image. The 3D glasses contain
 a sensor which detects the position of the user and directs the 3D image
 function of the displacements of the latter.
 One can admire in the video below a car in all
 its seams walking around the table , but also the displacement
 a robot on a road, or different facades of a Russian castle.
 The Nettlebox 2 can display up to 300 images per second. this concept
 promising is much less expensive than traditional holograms
 nels , still at the prototype at present .

This bulb is in the air

 In the future, there will be no need to make holes in the walls where
 hide electrical son ceiling to illuminate our interior. The bulb
 the future will float in the air like that of Chris Rieger, an American student
 University of Queensland.
By combining wireless transfer of electricity and magnetic levitation ,
 this student was able to power a light bulb that levitates in the air.
 Today, the most successful project using magnetic levitation
 Maglev is a Japanese train that levitates above the rails.
 In his experience, Chris Rieger was able to send up to 12 volts
 the bulb. The energy transfer system wireless was hidden behind
 cartons boxes. After some improvements and numerous tests ,
 we can assume that this system can be installed inside walls
 a house. In case of power failure, do not panic, the bulb
 not collapse to the ground. It will bind directly to the metal wall
 hidden in the ceiling.
 Chris Rieger is now working on the possibility to adjust the height of the bulb. Although the technology of
 wireless transfer of energy is not new , experience in this kind may bring into our homes
 our cars and this type of power supply.

The future of induction cooker

 Panasonic introduced at IFA 2012 in Berlin ( the world's largest salon
 consumer electronics ) a plate prototype futuristic induction. there is
 consitutes 45 coils covering its entire surface. Thus , areas of
 cooking no longer limited to certain areas of the plate.
The containers can be placed anywhere on the surface of the cooktop.
 A light blue square appears around the container when it is placed . The blue square is
 Also shown on the touch screen of the induction plate to set
 individually cooking temperature .
 But the real innovation of this cooktop is to use the other property
 induction, which allows to supply electricity to some devices. Simply place a
 PEM ( small appliance ) as a juicer or blender on
 induction plate for supplying power . Panasonic has not announced a
 release date or the price of this futuristic plate induction, but its technology
 Effective suggests a fast time to market.

This TV displays two images simultaneously

 Samsung has presented at the IFA 2012 show in Berlin its new model
 baptismal television ES 9500. This OLED TV has the distinction of view
 two different programs simultaneously , viewable through two
 pairs of 3D glasses .
Its 3D-capable display has a resolution high definition 1920 x
 1080 pixels and a diagonal of 139 cm , while the frame has a thick
 sor of only 8 millimeters. Its Smart TV provides access to
 various web services. With the Samsung Multiview technology , this
 TV can display two source images, mixed on the screen.
 Both users must be equipped with a pair of 3D glasses
 incorporates headphones. These glasses hide the program from the other
 user . Some will say that this TV is the perfect remedy to disputes
 conjuguales , others think it will kill communication within
 of a couple. Samsung ES 9500 is expected to be on sale in Europe
 for about 7000 euros.

The lock of the future will open without a key

 Move out and forget to lock the door is the kind of thoughtlessness
 we have all made at least once . To remedy this , the company
 American Apigy invented a lock without key to lock its
 door with a smartphone application dedicated to him .
Lockitron baptized , this futuristic lock box is a self -powered
 4 AA batteries with a battery life of one year. It uses all technologies
 existing wireless communication (Bluetooth, NFC and Wi -Fi), and management
 is simply from the Lockitron application available on iOS and
 Android. The connected smartphone can then give the order to lock or
 unlock. With Bluetooth and NFC , and in possession of a
 smartphone configured, it is even possible to close the door simply by
 away from it, and open it approaching . The Lockitron is also
 equipped with a shock wave detector which sends an alert to the smartphone
 when someone knocks on the door .
 A very practical solution when you find yourself on the other side of the house or in the garden . With a lock
 classic, it is mandatory to replace when lost his keys. With Lockitron , if one loses his smart-
 phone , you just have to change the security code used by the case. This ingenious lock can also be
 combined with the conventional use of keys. It will be available in 2013 to about 115 euros.

The rechargeable solar taken

  More and more designers and engineers seeking alternatives capable
  to preserve our planet. Kyuho Song and Boa Oh mark a further step in
  this direction with this concept of portable and rechargeable power outlet
  Solar.
Inexpensive (think your electricity bills) and extremely practical
  tick, it takes just a single window, which still receives
  enough sun to be able to recharge it easily.
  Transportable, you are guaranteed to always have current where you
  go and therefore will not have an excuse for not having your battery
  phone, at least if the project comes one day to open to the public.

V -Tex microwave beverage cooler

  If your refrigerator does not contain a cool drink, the British company
  Enviro-Cool offers an alternative to quench your thirst.
  This is an inverted microwave capable of quickly cooling a bottle or
  a bobbin previously stored at room temperature.
The first microwave ovens have revolutionized cooking in the late
  1960 Indeed, what could be more comfortable than pressing a button
  and wait a few seconds to warm up a dish? 50 years later,
  cool drink in seconds could become a gesture as
  mundane as warm a cup of coffee. The new technology called
  V-Tex of the Enviro-Cool Company is able to cool a can or
  bottle in less than one minute.
  Cool drinks very quickly already is certainly possible, but this bais-
  sudden temperature is generated near-icing liquid walls,
  while the rest is barely refreshed. For it to be so homo-
  gene, it is necessary to stir the liquid during this operation. for
  Suddenly, we find the same principle with a microwave oven.

The food to be heated is placed on a turntable so that the waves penetrate homogeneously . to
 cool the liquid , we must shake , but please do not shake it, even if only to avoid disaster at
 the opening of a soft drink. Stir the bottle suddenly propels its contents from the open-
 ture , that's the whole secret Enviro -Cool . The bottle is placed in a liquid and carried to mix rotation
 that it contains without shaking . The principle is operated Rankine vortex that forms a
 regular vortex.
 With this system , the cooling of a can or a bottle to consume 80 % less energy
 less than if it had been done conventionally from a refrigerator. It is this search for economy
 energy that allowed the project to obtain financing from the Investment Fund of the Union
 European . The manufacturer has designed a device intended for home use and another more significant size
 for large areas , for example. Such a machine eliminates the need for refrigerated shelves at the point of
 Payment storing drinks at room temperature. One can also imagine an ATM
 refreshments operating on this model. The first trials began in a Dutch supermarket

Swash the washing machine that mimics the pressing

 The Swash , manufactured and marketed in the US by the electrical specialist
 troménager Whirlpool in collaboration with Procter & Gamble, a company that
 sells consumer products , offers washing dry
 10 minutes shirt, suit, jeans or jacket, as in a laundromat.
Sold in the US for $ 500 ( € 388 ), it displays mini size
 (51 cm high , 54.5 cm deep with the open door and barely
 16.5 cm wide ) that allow it to fit into a dressing or
 even in a shallow closet. A capsule (sold $ 7 per pack
 12 , or € 5.45 ) is necessary for each wash and it is possible to ac-
 crocher a garment at a time, as this video demonstration
 tion below.
Be careful, the Swash must not in any case instead of a
 washing machine because it does not remove the stains.
 The appliance will therefore apply a dry washing on the clothes
 ment , which is the "refresh" (thus remove any odors) but
 also remove wrinkles that may have formed .
 The idea here is to space the sessions washing machine and meal-
 sage, who tend to damage the clothing.
 In its design as desired by its expensive price for a machine
 only that washes clothes at once, the Swash is an affluent clientele .
 Nevertheless, the relatively low price of individual pods (about 45
 cents per washing machine ) should nevertheless largely play
 favor considering the sometimes substantial price laundries.
 For example, in Paris , dry cleaning / ironing shirts , clothing
 for which it is cheaper and costs 2.50 € . The machine is thus
 amortized after 200 washes , less than a year if we take
 Example of an office worker who changes his shirt every day.
