Microsoft Will Personalize Online Searches

Microsoft is trying to make the rapidly growing flood of information on the Internet more structured, user-friendly, and accessible. In order to do so, it launches its new personalized search engine called Emporia.

A team of 5 developers from Microsoft scientists are reported to be working in Cambridge over a new intelligent search engine, which would be able to learn and reveal search results depending on the user’s individual needs. One of the Microsoft managers, Ralf Herbrich, has updated attendees at the conference in Germany, bringing a prototype of the search engine.
The service works the following way: in order to tell whether the data is relevant for an individual user, the new intelligent engine analysis information contained in the posts on their social networking services, such as Facebook and Twitter. The developers claim that the role of knowledge and specific experience they can receive from all social networks is becoming more and more important.

Apple's next-generation iPhone will have a faster processor and will begin shipping in September, according to three people with direct knowledge of the company's supply chain.
The production of the new iPhone will start in July or August and the smartphone will look largely similar to the iPhone 4, one of the sources told Reuters.
The iPhone – introduced in 2007 with the touchscreen, on-demand application template now adopted by its rivals – remains the gold standard in the booming smartphone market.
Reports on the timeline of the new iPhone launch vary, though it is largely expected that Apple will likely refresh its iPhone 4 later this year. It was introduced in June 2010 by chief executive Steve Jobs and shipped in the same month.
The timing would mean a delay from the usual 12-month refresh cycle for the iPhone since its introduction in 2007, when new versions have been shown off at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. That is presently scheduled for 6-10 June.
The sources declined to be identified because the plans for the new iPhone were not yet public. An Apple spokeswoman in Hong Kong was not available for comment.
The iPhone is one of Apple's most successful products, with more than 16 million sold in the last quarter of 2010. It accounted for more than a third of the company's sales in the quarter.
Apple sources many of its components from Taiwan-based suppliers, many are expected to benefit from a rise in sales as some of them rely on the US company for about 20-40% of their business, said Vincent Chen, an analyst at Yuanta Securities.

Hacker Group Switched to UFO Hoaxing

Worldwide known hacker group Anonymous decided to switch its efforts at hacking off UFO enthusiasts instead of annoying the powerful industry.

Anonymous members have agreed on the date they will start action: on May 22, numerous UFO websites will be flooded with fake reports of a triangular unidentified flying object. The operation was naturally
codenamed “Operation UFO”, and is intended to provide the members of Anonymous group with long hours of entertainment after the story is caught up with the mainstream media. The hackers hope that the story will receive enough attention and become "reality".

Anonymous expect that on May, 23rd, the newspapers will shout about the UFO postings. Moreover, Ghost theory has even opened a book on whether this story will be linked with terrorism, or with the fact that the birth certificate of the US president was signed by ET.

The members of the Anonymous agreed to tell the same story about how they’ve seen "a triangle of about 8 yellow lights in the sky". While the majority of hackers will report the event on specialized websites, the boldest ones are even going to call hotlines. The intent is to create the sudden influx of similar reports, which in its turn will convince UFO enthusiasts that something really is out there. In other words, many people should believe that aliens really want to make contact on Sundays.

King Of Action - Sylvester Stallone ( Rambo )

Born on July 6, 1946, in New York's gritty Hells Kitchen, the young Stallone attended the American College of Switzerland and the University of Miami, eventually obtaining a B.A. degree. Initially, he struggled in small parts in films such as the soft-core The Party at Kitty and Stud's(1970), the thriller Klute (1971) and the comedy Bananas (1971). He got a crucial career break alongside fellow young actor Henry Winkler, sharing lead billing in the effectively written teen gang film The Lord's of Flatbush (1974). Further film and TV roles followed, most of them in uninspiring productions except for the opportunity to play a megalomaniac, bloodthirsty race driver named "Machine Gun Joe Viterbo" in theRoger Corman-produced Death Race 2000 (1975). However, Stallone was also keen to be recognized as a screenwriter, not just an actor, and, inspired by the 1975 Muhammad Ali-Chuck Wepner fight in Cleveland, Stallone wrote a film script about a nobody fighter given the "million to one opportunity" to challenge for the heavyweight title.

Metal Band Criticizes U2 Band Manager’s View on P2P

Philly Byrne, the frontman of Gama Bomb is astonished that U2 Band Manager Paul McGuinness thinks introducing a “three-strikes” system to punish unauthorized file-sharer is better than bringing them to court, because both of the ways are a prosecution of the people musicians rely on. In addition he approves the idea of free content as a way to gain profit, and believes that the freely distributed albums help to get record tour profits.

Recently, Paul McGuinness, the U2 band manager, again criticized peer-to-peer networks in his article, and also offered there the solutions to the ailing music business. After the article came to Philly Byrne’s hand, who is Gama Bomb frontman, he was apparently astonished, saying that McGuinness was extremely short-sighted on the actions needed to be taken. The article, in his opinion, is filled with logical blind-spots, considering the current state of the industry. Although McGuinness has got the numbers right, the headspace went all wrong.
The first thing that Byrne criticizes is that while McGuinness admits that suing individual users is ineffective, he still advocates a “three-strikes” system which is “better” alternative. However, Byrne believes that disconnecting file-sharers from the web is just a persecution to the people performers rely on.
