Nearing the end.

I finished the final project.

I could solve all the problems that the database and registration.

 I think it is a good web application, the database had a big role at the end. The website and the database "communicate" through the programming language known as PHP (Hypertext Pre-processor ). It is one of the programming languages ​​that I liked the most to learn during these two years. Surely I started learning it further on my own.

 I hope the "FCT" go well. I wish all my classmates good luck.

The ailing Polaroid brand looks set to earn a second wind, thanks to the very force that nearly killed it off in the first place: the Internet.

Click HERE to see the gallery of Instagram camera fan art - including a camera made from crackers.

The iconic camera company will lend its name and heritage to a brand new instant digital camera with impressive web integration – and an Instagram theme.

Planned to hit the shelves some time in 2014, the camera, which is currently calling itself Socialmatic in lieu of a snappier moniker, takes pictures using the full range of filters for which the Facebook-owned picture-sharing service Instagram has become so popular.

Users will then be able to post their pictures online to their various social media via WiFi or 3G, or print them out and share them 'IRL'. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and email integration are all promised, while Socialmatic is also hoping to create its own picture-sharing network.

Socialmatic was originally proposed as a concept in May 2012. The idea went viral, due in part to the camera’s distinctive looks, which resembled Instagram’s logo, and its popularity has inspired Socialmatic to press ahead with bringing the concept to market.

The camera is promised to have 16GB of internal storage, WiFi and 3G connectivity, an SC-HD slot for external mass storage, and snazzy touchscreen interface. Slightly obnoxiously, each photo will come with its own QR code, allowing users to ‘follow the photo in real and virtual world’.

"This mix of hardware and software, together with our brand new photo social network, will fill the gap between virtuality and reality," claimed Antonio De Rosa, CEO of Socialmatic.

MY NEW WEBSITE

Hello, I'm back with a new blog post.

I've spent the last week developing a registration and login system for my website.

 I had several problems with the code. First, I am not able to make the php and html code work together. The writing was bad, all in the same file. When I realized I was wrong, I separated them in a html file and other file for php code, redirecting from one to another. Then, when I maked codes that work well, it took me some extra time to develop the code to store data in a database. Once finished with that, I started with the login system. This code is the one that gave me the biggest trouble, because I could not make the web recognize the current user but the previous.

Fortunately I managed to solve all the problems and develop the code.

Now I have to develop the main content of the website.

Electronic skin

Tiny, nearly invisible devices stick to skin, ‘talk’ to computers

James Bond and his enemies would be interested in the goings-on at the laboratory of John Rogers. So would Batman, the Spy Kids, Darth Vader and their enemies. That’s because Rogers, a materials scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, mixes electronics with the human body to create new devices not found even in science fiction.

Rogers and his collaborators have built an electronic device that’s smaller than a postage stamp and sticks to the skin like a temporary tattoo. The device’s possible users — patients, athletes, doctors, secret agents, you — are limited only by their imaginations.

Tattoos you can use

Rogers doesn’t have any permanent tattoos. But he says he’s been wearing “more and more” of the temporary kind to hide the stuck-on electronic circuits. (He even concealed one device behind a blue pirate tattoo.) Temporary tattoos use a simple and inexpensive way to adhere, or stick, to skin: a good sticky backing that stretches and flexes with skin’s natural motion.

More than skin deep

The scientists have found a way to extend the technology deeper than the body’s surface. In 2010, they introduced an electrical plastic wrap that can be attached to a person’s heart during open-heart surgery. Electronic circuits and instruments record blood flow and electric current, which means the material can alert doctors to hidden problems with a patient’s ticker. The team has already shown that a device attached to the surface of the brain can capture the electrical signals of an epileptic seizure.

Silicon: The problem and the answer

Scientists have been attaching electrical gadgets to skin for more than 80 years. In 1929, a German doctor named Hans Berger invented a device that attaches to the scalp and measures the brain’s electrical activity. His invention, called an electroencephalograph (EEG), lets doctors 

Facebook offers $20m to settle lawsuit

Facebook has agreed a settlement worth $20 million in a class action lawsuit after it was accused of using the names, profile pictures and photographs of users without permission.

As part of the settlement, the social networking site distributed an e-mail notice to users in the United States from its “legalnotice@facebookmail.com” address over the weekend in a move to avoid having to take the case to court.

What I liked the most in DAM

For this new blog post, I wnat to talk about what I like the most in this vocational training cycle about applications development.

After receiving Java, Android, ObjetiveC, and other programming languages classes​​, what I like the most and what I feel most comfortable with is web page development.

I think what I've learned about web development will be very useful in the future and I will be able to find a good job.

Maybe I start a new blog to write some tutorials about design and develop websites as uploading them to internet. But I think that I don't have enough experience yet.

This is my first web ever developed on my own.

Instagram account crackdown spreads panic, fear of hacking

A number of Instagram's 90 million active users are in a 
confused panic after being locked out of their accounts over the weekend, and several seem to believe they've been hacked.

On Saturday, the same day the Facebook-owned photo-sharing app enacted its revised terms or service, Yahoo Answers was inundated with threads from alarmed Instagram users who claimed to have lost access to their accounts for no apparent reason.

The longest question-and-answer thread, started by Yahoo user "moi," opened with an "Am I hacked?" query that soon had fellow forum participants worried that their security was compromised. Moi, like most of the other 57 people in the thread, was shown the following message, pictured below, when attempting to access the application this weekend:

Your account has been secured and requires account validation. Please login to Instagram.com from your desktop computer to validate your identify.

The desktop validation process then requires the user to upload a photograph of a government-issued photo ID by February 1 -- a puzzling requirement for many thread participants, who worried that a hacker was attempting to gain access to their personal information. Which is not the case.

"Instagram occasionally removes accounts due to violation of terms and, depending on the violation, may ask people to upload IDs for verification purposes," a Facebook spokesperson told CNET.

"The same thing just happened to me and I gave them my driver's license like a moron but I covered up the number. It was from Instagram.com.," Yahoo member Lynn wrote. "This has got to be hacked. Where did you email them? I'm trying to navigate their help system."

Several others are less worried about being hacked and more generally baffled by losing access to their accounts. One person reached out to me Saturday morning after his 12-year-old son was locked out of his account. The son, the contact said, was in tears over losing access to Instagram. The father's experience echoes those of forum participants, many of whom noted that their children were being asked to upload photo IDs to verify their birthdates.

Stephen Hawking speeds up thanks to high-tech speech aid

Stephen Hawking is to take a quantum leap forward in the world of communication thanks to new technology that will allow him to write faster.

For the past decade, he has composed sentences one letter and word at a time, by using a twitch of his cheek muscle to stop a cursor moving across text on a screen. His sentences are then read out by a computerised speech device, producing his distinctive robotic voice.

HOW I STARTED MY TECHNOLOGY ADVENTURE.

This is the first time I write a blog. For my first post I want to talk about how I came to study a vocational training cycle about applications development. 

When I was a little girl, I used to watch how my father works with his computer and I've always been curious about the IT world.

After finishing another training cycle and audiovisual staging shows, I tried to find work related to this, but I have no luck.


Then, my boyfriend talked to me about studying something related to IT. He said it could be fun if the two of us were studying the same and we could help each other. I started thinking about it and it seemed like a good idea. So not that I was an expert in software development or anything, but I thought that I could do it fine. In addition, I found a good advantage in this vocational training cycle, the IT sector is one of the least affected by the economic crisis.

Well, here I am, tryign to become a website developer.

Ars longa, Twitter brevis? Pope tweets in Latin

It’s only one quote from the Book of Micah, but the Pope’s latest foray into social media has set the Twitterverse, well, a-twitter.

After setting up Twitter accounts in Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Polish, German, French, Spanish and English, Benedict XVI has now chosen to communicate with his followers on Twitter, that most modern of platforms, in that most timeless of mediums: Latin.

“Unitati christifidelium integer studentes quid iubet Dominus?” inquires the Pope, who tweets in Latin under the moniker @Pontifex_ln.http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/faith/article3663600.ece
