iPhone users wondering whether their wine
or breath have gone bad may soon have
help from a chip designed to identify
nearby aromas and flavors.
Adamant Technologies has created a
processor for iPhones that "can take the
sense of smell and taste and digitize them,"
Adamant founder and CEO Sam Khamis tells
Business Insider. Khamis says his
company's product is fairly sophisticated,
employing roughly 2,000 sensors to
identify smells compared with the about
400 sensors in the average human nose.
The San Francisco startup, which is backed
by venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, has
begun producing chips at a factory in
Austin, Texas, and expects to release apps
for the chips in a year or two. It also plans
to manufacture a device that will plug in to
the iPhone and use a variety of apps,
including one that will warn users when
their breath is not as fresh as they would
like.
"Halitosis, or bad breath tracking, is
something we're really interested in,"
Khamis said, adding that the app will
notifying users of bad breath and indicate
what caused the condition. Other planned
apps will test blood sugar for diabetics and
measure blood-alcohol levels.
Giving computers greater sensitivity to
their surroundings has attracted more
attention lately. IBM unveiled a chip in
2011 designed to mimic the human brain's
perception, cognitive, sensation,
interaction, and action abilities. IBM
envisions its cognitive computing chips
could be used for a variety of purposes,
such as determining whether supermarket
produce had spoiled or detecting

Iran has launched a video-sharing site in its latest effort to provide alternative, government-sanctioned Internet services. Dubbed "Mehr," the Farsi word for affection, the site aims to attract Persian-speaking users and promote Iranian culture, according to the About Us page reviewed by the Agence France-Presse. "From now on, people can upload their short films on the Web site and access [IRIB] produced material," said Lotfollah Siahkali, deputy chief of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.

The Iranian government has been waging a battle against what it calls "inappropriate" content on the Internet. The government announced in September that it would block access to Google's search engine and Gmail in September, an apparent retaliation for an anti-Islamic film posted on the company's YouTube site that caused outrage throughout the Muslim world.

At the same time, a government deputy minister announced that the government was moving ahead with much-rumored plans to create a domestic Internet as a way to improve cybersecurity. All government agencies and offices have already been connected to the "national information network," according to a Reuters report at the time that indicated the next step was to connect citizens to the network.

The country has reportedly been developing a national intranet in an effort to create a "clean Internet." The Iranian government denied those reports, but the Iranian media say the domestic system would be fully implemented by March 2013, Reuters reported. Still unclear whether access to the World Wide Web would be cut once the Iranian system is rolled out.

Iranian Internet users are quite aware of the censorship they face. The country's government cut off access to the Internet a few times earlier this year, the latest of which blocked access to all encrypted international sites outside the country that operate on Secure Sockets Layer protocol. Many Iranians use proxy servers over virtual private networks to circumvent government efforts to block access to foreign news sites and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

leksiding: Nice. Ist to comment

Daddy is this you?

John McAfee, the antivirus software pioneer
sought by police in connection with a
murder in Belize, was arrested yesterday Dec 5th by
Guatemalan police for entering the country
illegally.
McAfee was arrested with the help of
Interpol agents at a hotel in an upscale
Guatemala City neighborhood, Interior
Minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla said,
according to the Associated Press.
Guatemala will seek to have him expelled
from the country, Bonilla said, according
to Reuters, although there is no
international arrest warrant for McAfee,
and it was not immediately clear to which
country he would be deported.
The 67-year-old founder of the company
that bears his name recently crossed over
into Guatemala to seek asylum from
officials in Belize, which have been
pursuing him for the past few weeks in
connection with the shooting death of his
neighbor. McAfee has been on the run
since November 12, when his neighbor
Gregory Faull, a contractor and restaurant
owner, was discovered with a bullet in his
head.
McAfee and Faull had reportedly had run-
ins with each other over McAfee's dogs and
armed security guards. In an interview with
Wired that same day, McAfee said he
thought the killers had actually been
looking for him and not Faull.
McAfee said yesterday he had hired the
former attorney general of Guatamala --
who also happens to be his girlfriend's
uncle -- to help him as he tries to set up a
meeting with the prime minister of Belize
on "neutral ground." In a blog post
yesterday, McAfee described his new
lawyer, Telesforo Guerra, as "one of the
most prominent attorneys in Guatemala,"
who is "well versed in the intricate system
of corruption with the Belizean
Government."
McAfee's location in Guatemala was
revealed Monday when a post from Vice
Magazine, which had reporters following
McAfee on his trip, included a photo with
metadata attached .
McAfee has told the media that he's being
wrongfully persecuted by officials in Belize
and that he fears for his life if he is
arrested. "If I survive the 30 days [until
the government is required to charge an
accused criminal], which I doubt very
strongly -- lots of people do die in prison
here from strangling on their own vomit,
hanging themselves because they're too
miserable, or getting beaten to death by
fellow inmates or a variety of other
things...if I do survive the 30 days, then
some judge will go, 'You're guilty. Period.'"
The bizarre chain of events include a raid
on McAfee's house in May in which police
said they found multiple unlicensed
firearms and McAfee with a 17-year-old
girl. They also said he was manufacturing
an antibiotic in his home without a license.
About a week after Faull's murder, McAfee
began writing a blog that chronicled his
efforts to hide from the police. In one
post, McAfee writes that he is traveling
with a 20-year-old woman named
Samantha, whom he credits with helping to
keep him fed, clothed, and in hiding.
"She has also helped me evade detection by
grabbing me and kissing me, in public, in a
fashion that causes passerby's to feel
embarrassment at the thought of staring
and by creating emotional scenes that
cause the curious to momentarily forget
what they were looking for," he wrote.
"She is acutely aware of her surroundings
and is as street smart as a sober hobo."
