3. Laptop is smaller than PC, but Laptop is bigger than ipad. Most people forecast that Laptop will lose competitiveness soon by ipad. How about PC? As tablets like ipad developed, people will reduce time that they use PC. (Because tablets can give various service like twitter, facebook, media, music etc) For this reason, PC's price may reduce more and more certainly. I'm glad to that 'cause I'd like to change my old PC to new one. Maybe some people who have same view with me trying to read seller's mind. That is time is gold in consumer, but time is poison in seller. (Of course price will reduce that it reaching a certain level maybe)
WASHINGTON (AFP) ― Worldwide personal computer sales are on track to set a new record this year but tablets like Apple’s iPad are taking a bite out of the sector, technology research firm Gartner said Monday. Worldwide PC sales are forecast to total 352.4 million units in 2010, up 14.3 percent over last year, Gartner said, but down from the firm’s previous 2010 PC sales forecast in September of 17.9 percent growth.
In 2011, worldwide PC sales are forecast to reach 409 million units, up 15.9 percent over this year but down from Gartner’s earlier estimate of 18.1 percent growth next year. “These results reflect marked reductions in expected near-term unit growth based on expectations of weaker consumer demand, due in no small part to growing user interest in media tablets such as the iPad,” Gartner research director Ranjit Atwal said in a statement.
“Over the longer term, media tablets are expected to displace around 10 percent of PC units by 2014,” Atwal said. Gartner last month said sales of tablet computers like the iPad are expected to soar from nearly 20 million units this year to 55 million next year and over 208 million in 2014. Apple began selling its iPad in April and a number of other companies have since begun producing the multi-media devices, which can be used to surf the Web, read electronic books, watch video and more.
Raphael Vasquez, research analyst at Gartner, said “PC market growth will be impacted by devices that enable better on-the-go content consumption such as media tablets and next-generation smartphones. “These devices will be increasingly embraced as complements if not substitutes for PCs where voice and light data consumption are desired,” Vasquez said.
Gartner said the PC industry was facing a number of challenges. While emerging markets were expected to gain over 50 percent of the total worldwide PC market by the end of 2011, Gartner said, “there is good chance that consumers (in emerging markets) will simply leapfrog PCs and move directly to alternative devices in the coming years.”
2.Cyber attack forces Wikileaks to change web address
3. George Orwell, Animal Farm, I read a book written by man. Until then, the existence of Big Brother, I did not know what they mean. Of course, I were very little kid. Encountering a book in 1984 and learned the meaning of Big Brother. And I'm a little scary the real world. And I guess that the wikileaks, this article is that it is actually similar to the story likes 1984. The issue has moved beyond security. How do we judge this dangerous collective intelligence to be? We are the center point of the network power, network power can solve this problem.
------------------------------------------------------------------- Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks has been forced to change its web address after the company providing its domain name cut off service. EveryDNS.net said it had terminated services bWikiecause leaks.org had come under massive cyber attacks. But Wikileaks has already reappeared using a Swiss web address. Wikileaks has also used the micro-blogging site Twitter to urge its fans to redistribute its "raw" net address so it can be viewed at any time. This numerical internet protocol (IP) address remains live and accessible even when web domains - the normal "www" addresses used to access most sites - are unavailable. Experts say it is likely that Wikileaks has done deals with lots of web hosting companies, although many are likely to back away from dealing with the controversial site in the light of recent web attacks. There is also a published list of mirror sites, which Wikileaks hopes will provide constant access to the site. Some of these sites have simply copied Wikileaks' content and put it on a different web server, while others are using different domain names to point at the original content. The more of these sites there are, the more difficult it will be to shut Wikileaks down, security analyst Paul Mutton told the BBC. In France, Industry Minister Eric Besson has called for a ban of Wikileaks on French servers. One of the mirror sites, Wikileaks.ch, is currently hosted on servers in France.
Downtime In a post on Twitter, Wikileaks acknowledged that its domain had been "killed" by EveryDNS.net. It was not clear how long disruption to the wikileaks.org site would last. In a statement on its website, EveryDNS.net said it had issued a 24-hour termination notice to Wikileaks which ended at 0300 GMT on 2 December. It said the domain wikileaks.org had become the target of "multiple distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks". "These attacks have, and future attacks would, threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure, which enables access to almost 500,000 other websites," it said. "Any downtime of the wikileaks.org website has resulted from its failure to use another hosted DNS service provider," it added.
'Death threats' Wikileaks says its website has been under attack since it began publishing more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables. The memos, which discuss US diplomatic relations and military activities, have been causing controversy across the world. It turned to the online store Amazon to host its site but the company ended the agreement on Wednesday - a move welcomed by US officials. Amazon said that it had not removed Wikileaks because of a government inquiry. Instead it said Wikileaks had failed to adhere to its terms of service. "It's clear that Wikileaks doesn't own or otherwise control all the rights to this classified content. Further it is not credible that the extraordinary volume of 250,000 classified documents that Wikileaks is publishing could have been carefully redacted in such a way as to ensure that they weren't putting innocent people in jeopardy," Amazon said on its website.
1. Jung Jae Hoon 2. Why WikiLeaks Is Good for Democracy 3. What is Wikileaks? In July 2010 Wikileaks released confidential documents that shed light on the war in Afghanistan. Now Wikileaks has posted online almost 400,000 similar documents detailing events in Iraq after the 2003 invasion. Today, Many people want to reveal unethical behaviour in their governments and corporations. but, especially US has strongly criticised the release by the website Wikileaks of thousands of extracts from secret messages between officials in America and abroad. However, Wikileaks says the information is of no threat to security around the world. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Since 9/11, the US government, through Presidents Bush and Obama, has increasingly told the US public that "state secrets" will not be shared with citizens. Candidate Obama pledged to reduce the use of state secrets, but President Obama continued the Bush tradition. The courts, Congress and international allies have gone meekly along with the escalating secrecy demands of the US Executive. By labeling tens of millions of documents secret, the US government has created a huge vacuum of information. But information is the lifeblood of democracy. Information about government contributes to a healthy democracy. Transparency and accountability are essential elements of good government. Likewise, "a lack of government transparency and accountability undermines democracy and gives rise to cynicism and mistrust," according to a 2008 Harris survey commissioned by the Association of Government Accountants. Manning apparently sent the information to Wikileaks - a nonprofit media organization that specializes in publishing leaked information. Wikileaks in turn shared the documents to other media around the world, including The New York Times, and published much of the documents' contents on its website. Do you like this? Click here to get Truthout stories sent to your inbox every day - free. Outraged politicians are claiming that the release of government information is the criminal equivalent of terrorism and puts innocent people's lives at risk. Many of those same politicians authorized the modern equivalent of carpet bombing of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities, the sacrifice of thousands of lives of soldiers and civilians and drone assaults on civilian areas in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen. Their anger at a document dump, no matter how extensive, is more than a little suspect. Everyone, including Wikileaks and the other media reporting on what the documents reveal, hopes that no lives will be lost because of this flood of information. So far, it appears those hopes have been met: McClatchy Newspapers reported November 28, 2010, that "US officials conceded that they have no evidence to date that the [prior] release of documents led to anyone's death." The U.S. has been going in the wrong direction for years by classifying millions of documents as secrets. Wikileaks and other media that report these so-called secrets will embarrass people, yes. Wikileaks and other media will make leaders uncomfortable, yes. But embarrassment and discomfort are small prices to pay for a healthier democracy. Wikileaks has the potential to make transparency and accountability more robust in the U.S. That is good for democracy. site : http://www.truth-out.org/why-wikileaks-good-democracy65549
1.Yun Yeon Jung 2.A year on, iPhone’s impact clear 3.When I read this article, I just thought.."Hmm Who doesn't know this fact?" But after reading this article, I was impressed. Really world gonna change into smart society. Soon, almost people will have smartphone, and then society also will be changed a lot. In this class, We also studied social networking's importance and could read many smartphone news. It is nowadays trend issue. Really I can feel smartphone make change our life in person. Soon, Real globalization will be effected easily through using smartphone.
---------------------------- The iPhone was released in November last year by its exclusive Korean carrier KT Corp., and 1.62 million people now own the gadget, with more than 4,000 others signing deals for purchase every day, according to KT officials.
The total number of smartphone owners in Korea was 5.7 million as of October.
The rising popularity of the first smartphone has not only triggered its other rivals, especially Samsung Electronics, to dive into the market, but also helped the introduction of upgraded working systems such as mobile offices and the smart working system.
According to DigiEco, KT’s economic research unit, the wide launch of the smart working system ― where people can work away from their offices ― is projected to create a market worth 4.8 trillion won ($4.2 billion) by 2014. For small and mid-sized firms, the new system is also expected to assist in the hiring process and enhance duty procedures.
Apple’s iPhone (The Korea Herald)
Smartphones have also made it easy for people to engage in online social networking ― such as on Twitter, Facebook and Cyworld ― mainly using mobile applications. The number of Korean-language mobile apps at Apple’s App Store also saw a huge jump ― up to 316 percent in the past year ― to 7,475 this month, from 2,367 in December last year.
The introduction of the iPhone has also improved the reputation of its exclusive carrier KT by transforming its company image from a slowly-changing public corporation to an innovative firm unafraid of the “mobile big bang” in Korea.
“KT has been in the lead of the so-called ‘smart innovation’ through establishment of its networks and the introduction of the iPhone,” said Pyo Hyun-myung, president of the company’s mobile business group. “We’re further planning to go beyond telecommunications and take the frontrunner position in open eco-innovation and cloud computing for a new revolutionary era of information and communication technology.”
While smartphones, including Samsung’s Galaxy S and LG Electronics’ Optimus One, are still getting much hype here, waiting next in line is another hit from Apple Inc. ― the iPad.
Researchers claim that 8-9 inch tablet PCs, such as the iPad, will ultimately soon replace laptop computers, additionally providing family-oriented entertainment in games, education and electronic books.
But they cautioned that content providers must brace for the change and prepare more e-book content ahead of the iPad launch.
“The local e-book market has yet to be vitalized. With the model we have, we will most likely meet difficulties in content, initiatives, compatibility and mass appeal,” said Lee Hyung-il, a researcher at DigiEco.
“I believe it is possible for players in the e-book market to establish their eco-system through devices such as the iPad.”
According to data from the International Data Corporation, the global media tablet PC market is projected to jump sixfold by 2014. The market research company also forecasted earlier in May that the worldwide media tablet shipments will grow to over 46 million units in 2014, from 7.6 million units in 2010.
1.Park Cheong Mi 2.the price of smartphone 3. There are lots of people to use smart phone. But there are more people not to use it than people to use it. People around me say, "Too expensive!!" I agree with this opinion. As I bought it, as a student, the charge makes me feel burdened. Before using smart phone, I used adolescent charge. So I feel that smart phone charge is expensive more and more. If it is a little cheaper, the more people buy it. Though I'm in learning stage, smart phone world is so interesting. Many people use it quickly. (Especially I hope that people around me change their phone for my message charge^.^) --------- Smartphones work more like handheld computers than conventional phones, but consumers have been grumbling that they are priced like computers too. However, with handset vendors and wireless carriers rushing to introduce models that are less outrageously priced, cost-conscious brick-phone users may find the urge to splurge.
Among the new devices that may touch off price falls are the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini, Motorola Moto Mix, LG Electronics Optimus One and Pantech Mirach. Industry observers believe that improved affordability, as well as the public’s growing appetite for social media, will continue to extend the explosion in smartphone sales.
These devices are priced around the 500,000-600,000 won (about $534) range, significantly lower than currently popular models like the Apple iPhone and Samsung Electronics Galaxy S that are sold for around 800,000-900,000 won.
Industry watchers believe that the cheaper smartphones, which usually have smaller screens compared to premium models, but still deliver a wealth of mobile Internet and multimedia functions, will generate significant demand from consumers in their teens and early 20s, who have previously been priced out of the market.
Smartphones had been a hard sell in previous years due to their high prices and lack of a content ecosystem, but the introduction of intriguing devices like the iPhone and Galaxy S finally have these high-end devices going mass market.
According to Atlas Research and Consulting, a market research firm, smartphones accounted for nearly 45 percent of the mobile phones sold last week, with the iPhone 4, Galaxy S and Optimus One ranked among the top-selling models.
``The demand for these lower-tier smartphones will be driven by younger consumers, who have been turned off by the high prices of current smartphones but nonetheless have been developing a taste for touch-screen phones. Touch-screen phones ― both smartphones and feature phones ― accounted for more than 20 percent of the handset sales during September,’’ said an Atlas analyst.
Among the lower-price smartphones, the Xperia X10 Mini, which will be released by SK Telecom, the country’s largest wireless carrier, next month, garners the most attention. The handset, roughly the size of a business card, is basically a reduced version of Sony Ericsson’s flagship smartphone, Xperia X10, which was also released by SK Telecom in June.
It runs on the latest version of the Android mobile operating system and is powered by a 600-megahertz processor, while featuring a 2.6-inch touch-screen display, a 5 megapixel built-in camera and advanced multimedia functions that have become the calling card for Sony Ericsson handsets. SK Telecom is expected to price the Xperia X10 around the 500,000 won level.
SK Telecom also has high hopes for the recently-released Moto Mix, which another Android handset that features a 3.1-inch display, a 5-megapixel camera with light emitting diode (LED) flash, and a variety of data and entertainment features.
LG Electronics, which had been a disappointment in the smartphone market, is relieved by the bright start to Optimus One, which was released by KT, the carrier that also provides the iPhones, earlier this month. Optimus One will also be available to SK Telecom and LG Uplus customers by the end of the month -------------- http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2010/12/133_75298.html
3. Now it's time to rethink our behaviours on SNS. Since SNS(facebook, myspace, twitter, etc) is not only a place that we just have a fun and rest but also the place where we spend amount of time on there and try to build your own image. A few days ago, the new concept of SNS was released, which is the service that people come and discuss social responsibilities over all kinds of issues, then share NGO's activities with your friends or people who have the same ideas with you.(visit jumo.com) I definitely think this is what people ultimately want to do on the web. Make your own image whether or not it's for good purpose, and share your own thoughts. In the long run, this will be a something.
------------------------------ 4. Today, Facebook co-founder and My.BarackObama.com alum Chris Hughes announced the soft launch of Jumo, his new philanthropic start-up that works to match do-gooders with appropriate causes.
Currently, the Jumo site is merely an elegantly designed homepage that announces Hughes’s mission to “bring together everyday individuals and organizations to speed the pace of global change. We connect people to the issues, organizations, and individuals relevant to them to foster lasting relationships and meaningful action.”
Hughes told us, however, that the site will later be organized much like a social network — with profiles for individual users that contain a collection of information that they have shared and used, pages for organizations created both by the orgs in question and others, and issue pages that serve as a kind of discussion of the topics at hand.
Hughes says that the idea is to make sure that Jumo can get the most relevant information possible to its users, so that they can foster on-going relationships with social organizations to do the most good. -------------------- http://goo.gl/OTqF
1. Jeong Sora 2. Man rapes 11 women using smartphone and drug 3. i-phone made me give in. A few days ago, I fanally bought i-phone. Although it have not reach my hands so far(becaurse it is still popular), I think I would be eat by i-phone.
As soon as I read this news, I said "How does something like that happen? Are they all foolish?" Of course, it must be no.
Let's suppose that situation. One day, You gave some invitation message from someone. You have curiousity. Clicking his name, in His personal homepage(cyworld, facebook, or myspace) He is very handsome, And he has luxurious house,and car! If a woman is in this situation, She might want to meet him at least one time.
SNS or i-phone is good to use as crime methods. So, news like this is reported more and more, effect of them would be decreased. 4. -------------------------------------------- A 32-year-old office worker has been arrested on charges of rape and sexual harassment.
Sueo police in southern Seoul said Friday that a Choe was suspected of getting phone numbers of 11 women through their blogs and luring them into real time chatting on smartphone apps since last July. He then proposed face-to-face meetings.
Choi told the women he was a student studying in Britain. He took each victim to a hotel or to his Ford Mustang for sex, after getting them person drunk in a bar he often visited.
Police said that they found videos of the rapes and call records on his smartphone. “There could be more victims as he has call records for more than 200 women,” a police officer said.
“All of the women who drank with Choi either vomited or were unconscious,” the police officer quoted a waitress of the bar as saying. “He is must have drugged their drinks to make each woman unconscious.”
The police officer said they are checking the victims’ hair to find evidence of the drug as most of them claimed they could not recall two or three hours after drinking the alcohol.
1. Kim heejun 2. Microsoft monoculture hurts tablet users 3. It appears the Apple iPad is going to be a huge hit here. It’s hard to imagine, however, Korean consumers being all smiles once they begin using their trophy gadget. This has nothing to do with what Apple’s new tablet can’t do, but rather how the local computing environment has users stuck with badly-aged Microsoft technologies in computer operating systems and Web browsers. --------------------- The iPad appears to be the clear-cut consumer choice among the slew of tablets, or touch-screen mobile computers, technology companies are rushing to the shelves. KT, the mobile-phone operator that provides the iPads here, is beaming after receiving tens of thousands of preorders since Thursday.
SK Telecom, the country’s biggest wireless carrier and KT’s bitter industry rival, is countering with the Samsung Electronics Galaxy Tab, which it promotes as a smaller and smarter alternative to the iPad.
Tablets certainly have stunningly good lucks and versatility, but it’s hard to ignore that they are overpriced and underwhelming compared to most netbooks that are currently available. KT charges 635,000 won for the cheapest 16-gigabyte iPad with cellular connectivity and SK Telecom charges 200,000 won more for Galaxy Tabs with the same capacity.
It becomes harder to justify tablets as a smart buy when, at least for now, the lack of a content ecosystem and the country’s crusty Internet regime appear to be restricting them to underused ornaments.
Tablets represent an optimized form of the mobile computer to laptops, using mobile operating systems and mobile processors and ditching physical keyboards in favor of virtual ones. And this is precisely what reduces their usability for Korean users.
The iPad runs on Apple’s iOS mobile operating system, while the Galaxy Tab is controlled by the Google-backed Android operating system. This severely limits their accessibility to the larger number of Korean websites designed to rely on aging Microsoft technologies.
Over the past decade, the Korean Internet regulations required all encrypted online communication, including e-commerce and online banking, to rely on electronic signings based on public-key infrastructure.
This has prevented users from moving beyond the decade-old Microsoft technologies of Windows XP and IE6, a situation that seems even more awkward as Microsoft has been moving to ditch Active-X due to security vulnerabilities.
Neither Apple nor Google will touch Active-X with a barge pole, and this limits an enormous number of websites for Korean iPad and Galaxy Tab users. Aside of securing transactions, Active-X is also used by many Korean websites to enable multimedia functions like video and music.
The flash-happy designs of Korean websites are also a letdown for iPad users. Apple has generated much debate for its decision not to support Adobe Flash, which is central to many Web pages and services here, from its mobile operating systems.
This prevents Korean iPad users from accessing the online video services of Korean sites like Naver (www.naver.com) and Daum (www.daum.net), as well as a wealth of Flash based online games.
Instead of a security-based model, Active-X relies on simple ``yes or no'' signatures to allow users to judge whether to download a control. This is a risky arrangement, since Active-X controls require full access to the Windows operating system, and could be abused by cyber criminals to compromise the user's control of the computer.
The Korean reliance on Active-X became a hot topic again last year when a massive Internet attack left more than 80,000 Korean computers crippled. It was pointed out that Active-X provided an easy route for cyber criminals spreading malware for the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. ------------------------- http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2010/12/133_76628.html

3. The feature of internet is anonymity. Anonymity helps individual can speak their opinion freely. Also this helps they present their image unlike the real. But some problems appeared because of this anonymity. One of problems is malicious comments. Recently, celebrities killed themselves due to the malicious comments. This comments are not internet problems but social problems. For decreasing malicious comments, the real-name system is introduced. But removing the malicious comments seems not easy. For solving the problems, people conduct self-regulating a campaign.
-----------------------------
The “Sunfull” Campaign began as a preventive measure to combat cyber bullying by removing anonymous negative comments on online message boards and to encourage people to instead post positive ones. Since it began in May 2007, the Sunfull Movement Campaign Office said Sunday the number of “Sunfull” or positive messages, posted on its website (www.sunfull.or.kr) exceeded 500,000 as of Nov. 1.
“It is remarkable that we can gather together such a high number of online comments. The Internet is a very strong communication tool and many still fall victim to cyber bullying. This campaign is about etiquette education,” said Min Byoung-chul, founder of the Sunfull Movement.
The campaign headquarters designated the first Friday of November as “Sunfull Day.” A ceremony to mark the third anniversary of the Sunfull Movement took place Friday at Hogok Middle School in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province, and celebrated the unwavering success of the movement.
The first event of its kind was held at the National Assembly in 2008. “Our next goal is to collect 1 million messages not only from Koreans but also from Americans, Japanese, and Chinese. We will promote this campaign all over the world, focusing on countries where IT is advanced. This peace movement will help relax conflicts in troubled parts of the world,” said Min, who is also well known for his influence as a intercultural educator.
The movement office also donates one won per posting and the collected money will be awarded to needy students in the form of scholarships.
Min started the movement following the suicide of a female singer in 2007, due to malicious comments and groundless rumors about her that spread on the Internet.
Since then, a large number of elementary and secondary schools along with government agencies and companies have joined in the online etiquette campaign.
“Character education is very important in helping students learn proper manners in cyberspace. Schools have critical roles in this sense,” Min said.

On the other hands, it is sad that a country's information networks can be controlled only one person. There are many kinds of crimes spring up everywhere. These crimes make world sick. It is time to be ethicize. With this, future IT society can have more clear and less speculative internet culture than now.

Keep thinking and Don't be arrested by the police.
--------------------------- Lady Gaga songs 'stolen' in Germany
Two people are being investigated by police in Germany after being accused of stealing songs from artists like Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and Ke$ha.
Media reports in the country have named the pair as 18 year old student Deniz A, known as DJ Stolen, and Christian M, who is thought to be unemployed.
They are under investigation for using a trojan horse virus to hack into the artists' computers for about 12 months before being discovered according to German prosecutor Rolf Haferkamp.
Haferkamp would not comment on which songs that were stolen but it's thought to have forced the early release of several singles.
Newspapers claimed the pair had attached the trojan to an MP3 file that was then sent to the official addresses of the stars, their managers and their record companies.
Deniz A was quoted in Germany's biggest selling daily paper Bild saying:
"I'm a fan and I just wanted to have cool music. I'm no blackmailer".
Haferkamp said the investigation should be concluded by January and could lead to criminal charges.
If convicted the pair could be sentenced to up to five years in prison or face big fines for damages. ----- http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11914828
3.Internet website becomes SNS. Facebook is famous SNS and actually funny. Almost worldwide people use that site. well.... These site keep poppular while.
4.NEW YORK (AFP) ― Facebook is challenging Google’s supremacy on the Internet with a radically different approach to how people live, work, play and search online.
While Google delivers search results selected by algorithms that take into account a user’s Web history, Facebook boasts a richer level of personalisation based on one’s own “likes” and the recommendations of Facebook friends.
Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook in his Harvard University dorm room six years ago and is now worth an estimated $6.9 billion dollars, refers to it as the “social graph”.
“I think what we’ve found is that when you can use products with your friends and your family and the people you care about they tend to be more engaging,” Zuckerberg said in an interview with the CBS show “60 Minutes.”
“They’ve become competitive in some areas, but it’s not that Facebook has grown at Google’s expense or that Facebook is growing and Google is shrinking,” said Danny Sullivan, editor of technology blog SearchEngineLand.com.
“Google is not going away,” agreed Kerner. “Google, in fact, I think is going to benefit from the emergence of social media.
“Because what it’s doing is it’s driving people to spend more time online and when you’re spending more time online, you end up doing more searches,” he said.
“Where they’ve really been encroaching on each other more is in the display space,” Sullivan said. “Facebook has a lot of people who buy display advertising. Google wants to sell more display advertising.”
Sullivan also said Google “has been trying to encroach on their social area, but they haven’t been very successful.”

In 2011, worldwide PC sales are forecast to reach 409 million units, up 15.9 percent over this year but down from Gartner’s earlier estimate of 18.1 percent growth next year. “These results reflect marked reductions in expected near-term unit growth based on expectations of weaker consumer demand, due in no small part to growing user interest in media tablets such as the iPad,” Gartner research director Ranjit Atwal said in a statement.
“Over the longer term, media tablets are expected to displace around 10 percent of PC units by 2014,” Atwal said. Gartner last month said sales of tablet computers like the iPad are expected to soar from nearly 20 million units this year to 55 million next year and over 208 million in 2014. Apple began selling its iPad in April and a number of other companies have since begun producing the multi-media devices, which can be used to surf the Web, read electronic books, watch video and more.
Raphael Vasquez, research analyst at Gartner, said “PC market growth will be impacted by devices that enable better on-the-go content consumption such as media tablets and next-generation smartphones. “These devices will be increasingly embraced as complements if not substitutes for PCs where voice and light data consumption are desired,” Vasquez said.
Gartner said the PC industry was facing a number of challenges. While emerging markets were expected to gain over 50 percent of the total worldwide PC market by the end of 2011, Gartner said, “there is good chance that consumers (in emerging markets) will simply leapfrog PCs and move directly to alternative devices in the coming years.”

ReplyDelete2.Cyber attack forces Wikileaks to change web address
3. George Orwell, Animal Farm, I read a book written by man.
Until then, the existence of Big Brother, I did not know what they mean. Of course, I were very little kid. Encountering a book in 1984 and learned the meaning of Big Brother. And I'm a little scary the real world. And I guess that the wikileaks, this article is that it is actually similar to the story likes 1984.
The issue has moved beyond security. How do we judge this dangerous collective intelligence to be? We are the center point of the network power, network power can solve this problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks has been forced to change its web address after the company providing its domain name cut off service.
EveryDNS.net said it had terminated services bWikiecause leaks.org had come under massive cyber attacks.
But Wikileaks has already reappeared using a Swiss web address.
Wikileaks has also used the micro-blogging site Twitter to urge its fans to redistribute its "raw" net address so it can be viewed at any time.
This numerical internet protocol (IP) address remains live and accessible even when web domains - the normal "www" addresses used to access most sites - are unavailable.
Experts say it is likely that Wikileaks has done deals with lots of web hosting companies, although many are likely to back away from dealing with the controversial site in the light of recent web attacks.
There is also a published list of mirror sites, which Wikileaks hopes will provide constant access to the site.
Some of these sites have simply copied Wikileaks' content and put it on a different web server, while others are using different domain names to point at the original content.
The more of these sites there are, the more difficult it will be to shut Wikileaks down, security analyst Paul Mutton told the BBC.
In France, Industry Minister Eric Besson has called for a ban of Wikileaks on French servers.
One of the mirror sites, Wikileaks.ch, is currently hosted on servers in France.
Downtime
In a post on Twitter, Wikileaks acknowledged that its domain had been "killed" by EveryDNS.net.
It was not clear how long disruption to the wikileaks.org site would last.
In a statement on its website, EveryDNS.net said it had issued a 24-hour termination notice to Wikileaks which ended at 0300 GMT on 2 December.
It said the domain wikileaks.org had become the target of "multiple distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks".
"These attacks have, and future attacks would, threaten the stability of the EveryDNS.net infrastructure, which enables access to almost 500,000 other websites," it said.
"Any downtime of the wikileaks.org website has resulted from its failure to use another hosted DNS service provider," it added.
'Death threats'
Wikileaks says its website has been under attack since it began publishing more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables.
The memos, which discuss US diplomatic relations and military activities, have been causing controversy across the world.
It turned to the online store Amazon to host its site but the company ended the agreement on Wednesday - a move welcomed by US officials.
Amazon said that it had not removed Wikileaks because of a government inquiry. Instead it said Wikileaks had failed to adhere to its terms of service.
"It's clear that Wikileaks doesn't own or otherwise control all the rights to this classified content. Further it is not credible that the extraordinary volume of 250,000 classified documents that Wikileaks is publishing could have been carefully redacted in such a way as to ensure that they weren't putting innocent people in jeopardy," Amazon said on its website.

ReplyDelete2. Why WikiLeaks Is Good for Democracy
3.
What is Wikileaks? In July 2010 Wikileaks released confidential documents that shed light on the war in Afghanistan. Now Wikileaks has posted online almost 400,000 similar documents detailing events in Iraq after the 2003 invasion. Today, Many people want to reveal unethical behaviour in their governments and corporations. but, especially US has strongly criticised the release by the website Wikileaks of thousands of extracts from secret messages between officials in America and abroad. However, Wikileaks says the information is of no threat to security around the world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Since 9/11, the US government, through Presidents Bush and Obama, has increasingly told the US public that "state secrets" will not be shared with citizens. Candidate Obama pledged to reduce the use of state secrets, but President Obama continued the Bush tradition. The courts, Congress and international allies have gone meekly along with the escalating secrecy demands of the US Executive.
By labeling tens of millions of documents secret, the US government has created a huge vacuum of information.
But information is the lifeblood of democracy. Information about government contributes to a healthy democracy. Transparency and accountability are essential elements of good government. Likewise, "a lack of government transparency and accountability undermines democracy and gives rise to cynicism and mistrust," according to a 2008 Harris survey commissioned by the Association of Government Accountants.
Manning apparently sent the information to Wikileaks - a nonprofit media organization that specializes in publishing leaked information. Wikileaks in turn shared the documents to other media around the world, including The New York Times, and published much of the documents' contents on its website.

Outraged politicians are claiming that the release of government information is the criminal equivalent of terrorism and puts innocent people's lives at risk. Many of those same politicians authorized the modern equivalent of carpet bombing of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities, the sacrifice of thousands of lives of soldiers and civilians and drone assaults on civilian areas in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen. Their anger at a document dump, no matter how extensive, is more than a little suspect.
Everyone, including Wikileaks and the other media reporting on what the documents reveal, hopes that no lives will be lost because of this flood of information. So far, it appears those hopes have been met: McClatchy Newspapers reported November 28, 2010, that "US officials conceded that they have no evidence to date that the [prior] release of documents led to anyone's death."
The U.S. has been going in the wrong direction for years by classifying millions of documents as secrets. Wikileaks and other media that report these so-called secrets will embarrass people, yes. Wikileaks and other media will make leaders uncomfortable, yes. But embarrassment and discomfort are small prices to pay for a healthier democracy.
Wikileaks has the potential to make transparency and accountability more robust in the U.S. That is good for democracy.

3.When I read this article, I just thought.."Hmm Who doesn't know this fact?" But after reading this article, I was impressed. Really world gonna change into smart society. Soon, almost people will have smartphone, and then society also will be changed a lot. In this class, We also studied social networking's importance and could read many smartphone news. It is nowadays trend issue. Really I can feel smartphone make change our life in person. Soon, Real globalization will be effected easily through using smartphone.
----------------------------
The iPhone was released in November last year by its exclusive Korean carrier KT Corp., and 1.62 million people now own the gadget, with more than 4,000 others signing deals for purchase every day, according to KT officials.
The total number of smartphone owners in Korea was 5.7 million as of October.
The rising popularity of the first smartphone has not only triggered its other rivals, especially Samsung Electronics, to dive into the market, but also helped the introduction of upgraded working systems such as mobile offices and the smart working system.
According to DigiEco, KT’s economic research unit, the wide launch of the smart working system ― where people can work away from their offices ― is projected to create a market worth 4.8 trillion won ($4.2 billion) by 2014. For small and mid-sized firms, the new system is also expected to assist in the hiring process and enhance duty procedures.
Apple’s iPhone (The Korea Herald)
Smartphones have also made it easy for people to engage in online social networking ― such as on Twitter, Facebook and Cyworld ― mainly using mobile applications. The number of Korean-language mobile apps at Apple’s App Store also saw a huge jump ― up to 316 percent in the past year ― to 7,475 this month, from 2,367 in December last year.
The introduction of the iPhone has also improved the reputation of its exclusive carrier KT by transforming its company image from a slowly-changing public corporation to an innovative firm unafraid of the “mobile big bang” in Korea.
“KT has been in the lead of the so-called ‘smart innovation’ through establishment of its networks and the introduction of the iPhone,” said Pyo Hyun-myung, president of the company’s mobile business group. “We’re further planning to go beyond telecommunications and take the frontrunner position in open eco-innovation and cloud computing for a new revolutionary era of information and communication technology.”
While smartphones, including Samsung’s Galaxy S and LG Electronics’ Optimus One, are still getting much hype here, waiting next in line is another hit from Apple Inc. ― the iPad.
Researchers claim that 8-9 inch tablet PCs, such as the iPad, will ultimately soon replace laptop computers, additionally providing family-oriented entertainment in games, education and electronic books.
But they cautioned that content providers must brace for the change and prepare more e-book content ahead of the iPad launch.
“The local e-book market has yet to be vitalized. With the model we have, we will most likely meet difficulties in content, initiatives, compatibility and mass appeal,” said Lee Hyung-il, a researcher at DigiEco.
“I believe it is possible for players in the e-book market to establish their eco-system through devices such as the iPad.”
According to data from the International Data Corporation, the global media tablet PC market is projected to jump sixfold by 2014. The market research company also forecasted earlier in May that the worldwide media tablet shipments will grow to over 46 million units in 2014, from 7.6 million units in 2010.

3. There are lots of people to use smart phone. But there are more people not to use it than people to use it. People around me say, "Too expensive!!" I agree with this opinion. As I bought it, as a student, the charge makes me feel burdened. Before using smart phone, I used adolescent charge. So I feel that smart phone charge is expensive more and more. If it is a little cheaper, the more people buy it. Though I'm in learning stage, smart phone world is so interesting. Many people use it quickly. (Especially I hope that people around me change their phone for my message charge^.^)

Smartphones work more like handheld computers than conventional phones, but consumers have been grumbling that they are priced like computers too. However, with handset vendors and wireless carriers rushing to introduce models that are less outrageously priced, cost-conscious brick-phone users may find the urge to splurge.
Among the new devices that may touch off price falls are the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini, Motorola Moto Mix, LG Electronics Optimus One and Pantech Mirach. Industry observers believe that improved affordability, as well as the public’s growing appetite for social media, will continue to extend the explosion in smartphone sales.
These devices are priced around the 500,000-600,000 won (about $534) range, significantly lower than currently popular models like the Apple iPhone and Samsung Electronics Galaxy S that are sold for around 800,000-900,000 won.
Industry watchers believe that the cheaper smartphones, which usually have smaller screens compared to premium models, but still deliver a wealth of mobile Internet and multimedia functions, will generate significant demand from consumers in their teens and early 20s, who have previously been priced out of the market.
Smartphones had been a hard sell in previous years due to their high prices and lack of a content ecosystem, but the introduction of intriguing devices like the iPhone and Galaxy S finally have these high-end devices going mass market.
According to Atlas Research and Consulting, a market research firm, smartphones accounted for nearly 45 percent of the mobile phones sold last week, with the iPhone 4, Galaxy S and Optimus One ranked among the top-selling models.
``The demand for these lower-tier smartphones will be driven by younger consumers, who have been turned off by the high prices of current smartphones but nonetheless have been developing a taste for touch-screen phones. Touch-screen phones ― both smartphones and feature phones ― accounted for more than 20 percent of the handset sales during September,’’ said an Atlas analyst.
Among the lower-price smartphones, the Xperia X10 Mini, which will be released by SK Telecom, the country’s largest wireless carrier, next month, garners the most attention. The handset, roughly the size of a business card, is basically a reduced version of Sony Ericsson’s flagship smartphone, Xperia X10, which was also released by SK Telecom in June.
It runs on the latest version of the Android mobile operating system and is powered by a 600-megahertz processor, while featuring a 2.6-inch touch-screen display, a 5 megapixel built-in camera and advanced multimedia functions that have become the calling card for Sony Ericsson handsets. SK Telecom is expected to price the Xperia X10 around the 500,000 won level.
SK Telecom also has high hopes for the recently-released Moto Mix, which another Android handset that features a 3.1-inch display, a 5-megapixel camera with light emitting diode (LED) flash, and a variety of data and entertainment features.
LG Electronics, which had been a disappointment in the smartphone market, is relieved by the bright start to Optimus One, which was released by KT, the carrier that also provides the iPhones, earlier this month. Optimus One will also be available to SK Telecom and LG Uplus customers by the end of the month

ReplyDelete2. SNS for better world
3. Now it's time to rethink our behaviours on SNS. Since SNS(facebook, myspace, twitter, etc) is not only a place that we just have a fun and rest but also the place where we spend amount of time on there and try to build your own image. A few days ago, the new concept of SNS was released, which is the service that people come and discuss social responsibilities over all kinds of issues, then share NGO's activities with your friends or people who have the same ideas with you.(visit jumo.com) I definitely think this is what people ultimately want to do on the web. Make your own image whether or not it's for good purpose, and share your own thoughts. In the long run, this will be a something.
------------------------------
4. Today, Facebook co-founder and My.BarackObama.com alum Chris Hughes announced the soft launch of Jumo, his new philanthropic start-up that works to match do-gooders with appropriate causes.
Currently, the Jumo site is merely an elegantly designed homepage that announces Hughes’s mission to “bring together everyday individuals and organizations to speed the pace of global change. We connect people to the issues, organizations, and individuals relevant to them to foster lasting relationships and meaningful action.”
Hughes told us, however, that the site will later be organized much like a social network — with profiles for individual users that contain a collection of information that they have shared and used, pages for organizations created both by the orgs in question and others, and issue pages that serve as a kind of discussion of the topics at hand.
Hughes says that the idea is to make sure that Jumo can get the most relevant information possible to its users, so that they can foster on-going relationships with social organizations to do the most good.

A 32-year-old office worker has been arrested on charges of rape and sexual harassment.
Sueo police in southern Seoul said Friday that a Choe was suspected of getting phone numbers of 11 women through their blogs and luring them into real time chatting on smartphone apps since last July. He then proposed face-to-face meetings.
Choi told the women he was a student studying in Britain. He took each victim to a hotel or to his Ford Mustang for sex, after getting them person drunk in a bar he often visited.
Police said that they found videos of the rapes and call records on his smartphone. “There could be more victims as he has call records for more than 200 women,” a police officer said.
“All of the women who drank with Choi either vomited or were unconscious,” the police officer quoted a waitress of the bar as saying. “He is must have drugged their drinks to make each woman unconscious.”
The police officer said they are checking the victims’ hair to find evidence of the drug as most of them claimed they could not recall two or three hours after drinking the alcohol.

ReplyDelete2. Microsoft monoculture hurts tablet users
3. It appears the Apple iPad is going to be a huge hit here. It’s hard to imagine, however, Korean consumers being all smiles once they begin using their trophy gadget.
This has nothing to do with what Apple’s new tablet can’t do, but rather how the local computing environment has users stuck with badly-aged Microsoft technologies in computer operating systems and Web browsers.
---------------------
The iPad appears to be the clear-cut consumer choice among the slew of tablets, or touch-screen mobile computers, technology companies are rushing to the shelves. KT, the mobile-phone operator that provides the iPads here, is beaming after receiving tens of thousands of preorders since Thursday.
SK Telecom, the country’s biggest wireless carrier and KT’s bitter industry rival, is countering with the Samsung Electronics Galaxy Tab, which it promotes as a smaller and smarter alternative to the iPad.
Tablets certainly have stunningly good lucks and versatility, but it’s hard to ignore that they are overpriced and underwhelming compared to most netbooks that are currently available. KT charges 635,000 won for the cheapest 16-gigabyte iPad with cellular connectivity and SK Telecom charges 200,000 won more for Galaxy Tabs with the same capacity.
It becomes harder to justify tablets as a smart buy when, at least for now, the lack of a content ecosystem and the country’s crusty Internet regime appear to be restricting them to underused ornaments.
Tablets represent an optimized form of the mobile computer to laptops, using mobile operating systems and mobile processors and ditching physical keyboards in favor of virtual ones. And this is precisely what reduces their usability for Korean users.
The iPad runs on Apple’s iOS mobile operating system, while the Galaxy Tab is controlled by the Google-backed Android operating system. This severely limits their accessibility to the larger number of Korean websites designed to rely on aging Microsoft technologies.
Over the past decade, the Korean Internet regulations required all encrypted online communication, including e-commerce and online banking, to rely on electronic signings based on public-key infrastructure.
This has prevented users from moving beyond the decade-old Microsoft technologies of Windows XP and IE6, a situation that seems even more awkward as Microsoft has been moving to ditch Active-X due to security vulnerabilities.
Neither Apple nor Google will touch Active-X with a barge pole, and this limits an enormous number of websites for Korean iPad and Galaxy Tab users. Aside of securing transactions, Active-X is also used by many Korean websites to enable multimedia functions like video and music.
The flash-happy designs of Korean websites are also a letdown for iPad users. Apple has generated much debate for its decision not to support Adobe Flash, which is central to many Web pages and services here, from its mobile operating systems.
This prevents Korean iPad users from accessing the online video services of Korean sites like Naver (www.naver.com) and Daum (www.daum.net), as well as a wealth of Flash based online games.
Instead of a security-based model, Active-X relies on simple ``yes or no'' signatures to allow users to judge whether to download a control. This is a risky arrangement, since Active-X controls require full access to the Windows operating system, and could be abused by cyber criminals to compromise the user's control of the computer.
The Korean reliance on Active-X became a hot topic again last year when a massive Internet attack left more than 80,000 Korean computers crippled. It was pointed out that Active-X provided an easy route for cyber criminals spreading malware for the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

3. Laptop is smaller than PC, but Laptop is bigger than ipad. Most people forecast that Laptop will lose competitiveness soon by ipad. How about PC? As tablets like ipad developed, people will reduce time that they use PC. (Because tablets can give various service like twitter, facebook, media, music etc) For this reason, PC's price may reduce more and more certainly. I'm glad to that 'cause I'd like to change my old PC to new one. Maybe some people who have same view with me trying to read seller's mind. That is time is gold in consumer, but time is poison in seller. (Of course price will reduce that it reaching a certain level maybe)

ReplyDelete2. Malicious comments
3. The feature of internet is anonymity. Anonymity helps individual can speak their opinion freely. Also this helps they present their image unlike the real. But some problems appeared because of this anonymity. One of problems is malicious comments. Recently, celebrities killed themselves due to the malicious comments. This comments are not internet problems but social problems. For decreasing malicious comments, the real-name system is introduced. But removing the malicious comments seems not easy. For solving the problems, people conduct self-regulating a campaign.
-----------------------------
The “Sunfull” Campaign began as a preventive measure to combat cyber bullying by removing anonymous negative comments on online message boards and to encourage people to instead post positive ones. Since it began in May 2007, the Sunfull Movement Campaign Office said Sunday the number of “Sunfull” or positive messages, posted on its website (www.sunfull.or.kr) exceeded 500,000 as of Nov. 1.
“It is remarkable that we can gather together such a high number of online comments. The Internet is a very strong communication tool and many still fall victim to cyber bullying. This campaign is about etiquette education,” said Min Byoung-chul, founder of the Sunfull Movement.
The campaign headquarters designated the first Friday of November as “Sunfull Day.” A ceremony to mark the third anniversary of the Sunfull Movement took place Friday at Hogok Middle School in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province, and celebrated the unwavering success of the movement.
The first event of its kind was held at the National Assembly in 2008. “Our next goal is to collect 1 million messages not only from Koreans but also from Americans, Japanese, and Chinese. We will promote this campaign all over the world, focusing on countries where IT is advanced. This peace movement will help relax conflicts in troubled parts of the world,” said Min, who is also well known for his influence as a intercultural educator.
The movement office also donates one won per posting and the collected money will be awarded to needy students in the form of scholarships.
Min started the movement following the suicide of a female singer in 2007, due to malicious comments and groundless rumors about her that spread on the Internet.
Since then, a large number of elementary and secondary schools along with government agencies and companies have joined in the online etiquette campaign.
“Character education is very important in helping students learn proper manners in cyberspace. Schools have critical roles in this sense,” Min said.

Lady Gaga songs 'stolen' in Germany
Two people are being investigated by police in Germany after being accused of stealing songs from artists like Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and Ke$ha.
Media reports in the country have named the pair as 18 year old student Deniz A, known as DJ Stolen, and Christian M, who is thought to be unemployed.
They are under investigation for using a trojan horse virus to hack into the artists' computers for about 12 months before being discovered according to German prosecutor Rolf Haferkamp.
Haferkamp would not comment on which songs that were stolen but it's thought to have forced the early release of several singles.
Newspapers claimed the pair had attached the trojan to an MP3 file that was then sent to the official addresses of the stars, their managers and their record companies.
Deniz A was quoted in Germany's biggest selling daily paper Bild saying:
"I'm a fan and I just wanted to have cool music. I'm no blackmailer".
Haferkamp said the investigation should be concluded by January and could lead to criminal charges.
If convicted the pair could be sentenced to up to five years in prison or face big fines for damages.

3.Internet website becomes SNS.
Facebook is famous SNS and actually funny.
Almost worldwide people use that site.
well.... These site keep poppular while.
4.NEW YORK (AFP) ― Facebook is challenging Google’s supremacy on the Internet with a radically different approach to how people live, work, play and search online.
While Google delivers search results selected by algorithms that take into account a user’s Web history, Facebook boasts a richer level of personalisation based on one’s own “likes” and the recommendations of Facebook friends.
Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook in his Harvard University dorm room six years ago and is now worth an estimated $6.9 billion dollars, refers to it as the “social graph”.
“I think what we’ve found is that when you can use products with your friends and your family and the people you care about they tend to be more engaging,” Zuckerberg said in an interview with the CBS show “60 Minutes.”
“They’ve become competitive in some areas, but it’s not that Facebook has grown at Google’s expense or that Facebook is growing and Google is shrinking,” said Danny Sullivan, editor of technology blog SearchEngineLand.com.
“Google is not going away,” agreed Kerner. “Google, in fact, I think is going to benefit from the emergence of social media.
“Because what it’s doing is it’s driving people to spend more time online and when you’re spending more time online, you end up doing more searches,” he said.
“Where they’ve really been encroaching on each other more is in the display space,” Sullivan said. “Facebook has a lot of people who buy display advertising. Google wants to sell more display advertising.”
Sullivan also said Google “has been trying to encroach on their social area, but they haven’t been very successful.”
