Lunettes connectées et « communautés » : l’exercice de science-fiction de Mark Zuckerberg. C’est, semble-t-il, la fin d’une petite tradition : depuis plusieurs années, Mark Zuckerberg, le fondateur de Facebook, présentait chaque mois de janvier ses vœux à tous les utilisateurs du service, y détaillant parfois ses idées sur divers sujets technologiques ou politiques et se fixait un défi personnel pour l’année à venir – qu’il s’agisse de lire des livres, de se remettre à la course à pied ou s’engager à ne manger de viande que s’il avait lui-même tué l’animal au menu.

Lunettes connectées et « communautés » : l’exercice de science-fiction de Mark Zuckerberg

Mais pour 2020, M. Zuckerberg a choisi de « regarder le long terme », explique-t-il dans un long message publié jeudi 9 janvier. « J’ai essayé d’imaginer à quoi j’espère que le monde et ma vie ressembleront en 2030, pour m’assurer que je me concentre sur les bons sujets », écrit-il. Le résultat est un étonnant exercice de futurologie, dans lequel le fondateur du réseau social aux 2,4 milliards d’utilisateurs décrit un monde à dix ans à la fois très proche et assez éloigné du nôtre. Here’s how to see the data that tech giants have about you. The Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal that broke earlier this year will probably hold the crown as 2018’s biggest story in tech.

Here’s how to see the data that tech giants have about you

It came to light that upwards of 87 million Facebook users had their Facebook data harvested–most without their knowledge–which was used to help sway public opinion in political events, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the 2016 EU referendum in the U.K., which resulted in Brexit. The fallout has seen Facebook embroiled in its biggest crisis yet, prompting the social network to commit to a raft of changes to the way it handles (and lets others access) user data. It’s also left average everyday internet users with new questions about what data the tech giants hold about us—and what they’re doing with it.

That’s why we’ve put together this guide. Pourquoi le modèle Tesla n'est pas tenable. Votre historique de navigation privée n'est pas vraiment privé. Huawei leak shows differences between the P20, P20 Lite, and three-cam P20 Pro.

Twitter va tester les messages de 280 caractères

Plus de dix ans après sa naissance et en proie à de grosses difficultés financières, Twitter tente de se relancer en doublant la longueur de ses messages, une mini-révolution qui a suscité une avalanche de commentaires sur le réseau mais laissé les analystes sceptiques. « Tenter de caser vos pensées en un seul tweet – on est tous passés par là –, c’est pénible », a écrit le groupe sur son blog officiel mardi 26 septembre. « Nous voulons que tout le monde, partout dans le monde, puisse s’exprimer facilement sur Twitter, alors nous faisons quelque chose de nouveau: nous allons essayer une limite plus grande, 280 caractères », explique le réseau social américain, qui précise que cette fonctionnalité n’est pour l’instant réservée qu’à quelques utilisateurs, avant une possible généralisation.

A New, More Rigorous Study Confirms: The More You Use Facebook, the Worse You Feel

While we know that old-fashioned social interaction is healthy, what about social interaction that is completely mediated through an electronic screen? Prior research has shown that social media use may detract from face-to-face relationships and erode self-esteem through unfavorable social comparison. But those studies didn’t always look at longitudinal data or account for a person’s baseline sociability or Facebook use; a new study does. Using three waves of data from 5,208 adults, coupled with several different measures of Facebook usage, allowed researchers see how well-being changed over time in association with Facebook use.

The invention relates to the stimulation of the human nervous system by an electromagnetic field applied externally to the body. A neurological effect of external electric fields has been mentioned by Wiener (1958), in a discussion of the bunching of brain waves through nonlinear interactions. The electric field was arranged to provide “a direct electrical driving of the brain”. Wiener describes the field as set up by a 10 Hz alternating voltage of 400 V applied in a room between ceiling and ground.

Elon Musk Is Really Boring - Bloomberg

It’s in a nondescript lot at Crenshaw Boulevard and West 120th Street, not far from Los Angeles International Airport. If not for the huge pile of dirt next to it, you’d never know it was there. Seen from the top of the parking garage at SpaceX, the aerospace startup founded by Elon Musk, the hole is an eyesore among eyesores—a crater in asphalt, fenced in by rusty-looking steel plates. But Musk, the chief executive of both SpaceX and the electric car company Tesla, is quite proud of this pit. He started digging as a spur-of-the-moment thing one weekend at the end of January. Traffic is driving me nuts. It sounded like a put-on. Musk wasn’t joking. As Musk tells it, the L.A. traffic jam was a breaking point. Bloomberg. YouTube is coming to Comcast’s Xfinity X1 set-top box. Google and Comcast announced a new deal this morning that will see the YouTube application installed on Comcast’s Xfinity X1 set-top boxes nationwide later this year.

YouTube is coming to Comcast’s Xfinity X1 set-top box

The integration will allow X1 users to launch the app by saying “YouTube” into the X1 voice remote, as well as browse featured content on YouTube, search the entire library, including by voice, and sign into to access their own personalized YouTube settings and subscriptions. Comcast says around half of its 22.5 million Xfinity customers have the newer X1 set-top box system, which includes a DVR with 500 GB of storage, voice remote, real-time sports scores, and other more modern features.

The cable provider had already added Netflix to its X1 devices last year – another significant milestone in terms of merging the online streaming world with traditional TV content. The deal saw Netflix content and Xfinity on Demand programming combined into a single library, to make switching between services more seamless. To Send Privately Crewed Dragon Spacecraft Beyond the Moon Next Year.

We are excited to announce that SpaceX has been approached to fly two private citizens on a trip around the moon late next year.

They have already paid a significant deposit to do a moon mission. Like the Apollo astronauts before them, these individuals will travel into space carrying the hopes and dreams of all humankind, driven by the universal human spirit of exploration. We expect to conduct health and fitness tests, as well as begin initial training later this year. Other flight teams have also expressed strong interest and we expect more to follow.

Additional information will be released about the flight teams, contingent upon their approval and confirmation of the health and fitness test results. Most importantly, we would like to thank NASA, without whom this would not be possible. Later this year, as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, we will launch our Crew Dragon (Dragon Version 2) spacecraft to the International Space Station. TNW's tech person of the year. How many problems can one man try to solve in a year? What if the problems aren’t your garden variety problems – like a broken faucet − but rather the earth’s most serious and existential problems? Maybe one? What if the problems are fossil fuel dependence, global warming, the future of artificial intelligence, and the colonization of other worlds?

Maybe none? Premier vol d’essai réussi pour le drone Internet de Facebook. Dans le désert de Sonora, au sud des Etats-Unis, Aquila a enfin pris son envol. Fin juin, près d’un an après sa présentation officielle, le drone conçu par Facebook a effectué son premier vol d’essai à taille réelle. Pour l’occasion, Mark Zuckerberg, le fondateur et patron du réseau social, avait fait le déplacement. Car le projet est l’une des pierres angulaires de la mission qu’il s’est fixé: fournir un accès au Web aux quatre milliards de personnes qui en sont encore dépourvues pour des raisons financières ou par manque d’infrastructures.

Google abandonnne son projet de drones Internet. La rationalisation des investissements fait une nouvelle victime chez Alphabet, la maison-mère de Google. Mercredi 11 janvier, la société de Mountain View a confirmé l’abandon de son projet de drones capables de fournir une connexion haut débit à Internet. Cette décision a été prise l’an passé mais n’avait jusqu’à présent pas été annoncée officiellement. Elle s’inscrit dans le cadre de la politique de contrôle des coûts mise en place depuis deux ans. D’autres initiatives pourraient ainsi connaître le même sort. Le projet avait été lancé en 2014 avec l’acquisition de la start-up Titan Aerospace, un temps convoitée par Facebook, pour plusieurs dizaines de millions de dollars. Microsoft Teams – Group Chat software. Introducing Microsoft Teams—the chat-based workspace in Office 365.

Today’s post was written by Kirk Koenigsbauer, corporate vice president for the Office team. Today, at an event in New York City, we announced Microsoft Teams—the new chat-based workspace in Office 365. Microsoft Teams is an entirely new experience that brings together people, conversations and content—along with the tools that teams need—so they can easily collaborate to achieve more. It’s naturally integrated with the familiar Office applications and is built from the ground up on the Office 365 global, secure cloud.

Starting today, Microsoft Teams is available in preview in 181 countries and in 18 languages to commercial customers with Office 365 Enterprise or Business plans, with general availability expected in the first quarter of 2017.

When I reviewed the Galaxy Note 7, I was a little amazed at how Samsung was able to cram so many features into a phone so small for its screen size.

But a report by manufacturing company Instrumental suggests that cramming is what made the phone prone to catching fire. Instrumental tore down a Note 7 to try to figure out what was going on – something Samsung has yet to provide an answer for – and suggests the phone’s design is fundamentally flawed. Even without any outside pressure being exerted, the design of the phone can compress the battery. Where most phone designs leave a roughly 10 percent gap above the battery, the Note 7 leaves virtually none.

PayPal users can now send and request payments using simple voice commands via Siri on iOS 10 on iPhone and iPad. The online payments company is making the new feature available to users in 30 countries, and in a number of languages, and it requires only that the iOS app be installed with a logged in user account. As you can see from the demo video above, using the feature is as easy as asking Siri to send a specific amount of money to a friend or contact using their name.

As mentioned, you can also ask for payment from a friend by name using Siri.

With Popular Times, Google introduced a nifty little feature for its search engine last year that lets you know how busy a restaurant, coffee shop or bar typically is at any given time of the week.

Today, it’s taking this concept a step further by making this tool real-time. So now, you will know exactly how long the line is going to be before you even head out to your favorite brunch place on Sunday morning. Like before, the Popular Times widget will appear when you look for a restaurant or bar in Google Search and Google Maps. It uses anonymized location data and searches to determine how busy a place currently is.

In my experience, the non-real time version was always pretty accurate, but it obviously doesn’t account for any special events that may change how many people crave Bloody Marys on any given Sunday.
