Project NEON is defined as a kind of Metro 2.0 and would be a new step in the convergence of Windows 10, something that will define the company's next strategy in mobile phones, tablets, and also in its promising HoloLens, its augmented reality offer . Microsoft would take one year working in the design language Project NEON to release it next year, finishing the process between Windows 8 and Windows 10. The interface of Project NEON would be clean and simple, but with animations and transitions that will seek to make it more colorful and fluid , But without assuming a real revolution. It would also incorporate a good 3D philosophy, something that will begin with the update Creators Update next spring. There is still a long season for us to know the guidelines on this new design language for Windows 10, but this initial information gives us a clear idea of where Microsoft intends to reach this end, ending a convergence started with the exit of Windows 10.

Have you made a purchase on Amazon or are you ready to do it soon? Then be careful because a false e-mail campaign has been detected against the customers of the e-commerce giant. According to information from the ESET security firm, the false message informs the victim that an error has occurred in a purchase order and invites access to a link to solve the problem. However, although the page to which it replies replicates the Amazon design, it is a fake website that has no link with the company. Here, the user is asked for the credentials, and in case of being introduced they will remain in the hands of the cybercriminals. The deception is well elaborated, because to give credibility to the process, once the keys have been written the navigation is directed towards the official page of Amazon. In this way, it is possible that the victim does not know what happened. Remember that such attacks are the preferred strategy for cybercriminals to steal data, so it is important to be aware and to be suspicious of suspicious communications that arrive in your inbox. If you want to avoid being a victim of a phishing campaign, never follow a link that reaches you by email that leads to login pages, and write your passwords only on official websites. As an additional measure, check the status of your bank accounts very often and promptly advise your bank against any movement that you find strange.

As we recently announced at the Microsoft conference, the company plans to support virtual reality for all Windows 10 computers that are compatible as part of the next major update known as Creators Update, which will arrive in the first half Of the year 2017. While the HTC Live and the Oculus Rift use their own software specifically developed for them, Redmond's are trying to create their own VR platform that allows others to join it. Basically it would be the same environment that is currently being used in HoloLens. Another of the most interesting novelties in relation to these virtual reality helmets is its price, which will start from $ 299. It is not very common, considering that the prices of the models of other companies mentioned above are around 700 euros and 900 euros, depending on what they include. Now Microsoft has revealed what it will take to use its new affordable virtual reality glasses. The requirements are also not very high if we compare what other platforms ask us, as we can see below: 4-core processor, or a dual-core processor with HyperThreading A graphics card with support for DirectX 12 4 GB of RAM One USB 3.0 port The price of the product should already make us understand that with this move, Microsoft does not want to simply present other glasses of virtual reality that can only access a small percentage of users with very powerful equipment and economic ease to spend almost 1,000 euros on them . Instead, they seem to be trying to bring virtual reality to all users, as many as possible, although of course, we still have to see what kind of content we will find. The next December will give more information about the new Windows 10 VR in an event, something that we will be very attentive.

Hurricane Otto gained momentum and became category 2 on Thursday morning as it approached the sparsely po[CENSORED]ted border between Nicaragua and Costa Rica in the Caribbean, an unusually powerful late storm. According to the information reported by the agency AP, the intense rains that accompany the meteor caused three deaths in Panama. Otto is scheduled to land on Thursday in Nicaragua, just north of the border with Costa Rica. In Bluefields, Nicaragua, the po[CENSORED]tion closest to the coast, residents were preparing to move away from the hurricane. "In our house we have some things packed in plastic bags and we go out to buy supplies for any situation that may arise due to the emergency that we have with the arrival of the hurricane," said Jean Hodgson, a resident of Bluefields, the capital of the Nicaraguan Caribbean South. "We are waiting for what the authorities say to better protect windows and doors, but if we had to leave the house, we do not know where to take refuge," he added. The area is low and could easily be flooded. Nicaragua closed schools and withdrew more than 10,000 people from communities on the road to the hurricane. Heavy rains were expected to affect the entire country, increasing the possibility of floods and mudslides. In Costa Rica, authorities ordered the evacuation of 4,000 people from its Caribbean coast and canceled classes throughout the country for the remainder of the week. Heavy rainfall has already caused flooding in some areas and President Luis Guillermo Solis has announced that officials will not have to go to work on Thursday and Friday. According to the Meteorological Institute of the country, no hurricane has touched land in Costa Rica since there are official records. The US National Hurricane Center reported that the storm regained a hurricane category Wednesday night, with winds of 140 kilometers per hour (85 miles per hour), after fluctuating between a tropical storm and a hurricane earlier in the week. By Thursday morning, Otto's sustained maximum winds had increased to about 105 mph (105 kph) and it was likely to climb one more scale as a hurricane before it hit the ground. The meteor left heavy rains in Panama as it advanced almost parallel to the north coast of the country. President Solis said that Otto could damage coffee plantations and other agricultural crops, key sectors in Costa Rica. Nicaragua also fears the repercussions for the impoverished farmers of the zone since the meteor could affect to the coffee crops that are almost ready for its harvest. Otto could "jeopardize the food security of small farmers who depend on corn, beans, cocoa, honey, coffee and livestock to survive," said Jennifer Zapata, regional director of Heifer International, a US anti-poverty group. On Thursday morning, Otto was moving west at about 13 kph (8 mph) and its vortex was about 110 kilometers (70 miles) north of Limón, Costa Rica, the hurricane center said.

Computer giant Apple has obtained a patent for a flexible iPhone that can be folded in half, according to a statement posted on the website of the US Patent and Trademark Office. (USPTO for its acronym in English). This technology could reduce the need to put the devices in the pockets, according to RT. The patent for a flexible display device, registered in July 2014, features a foldable smartphone with touch screen. The patent specifies how a flexible OLED display (with organic light emitting diodes) can be folded in different ways. Although Apple often applies for patents for technologies that never see light, these documents give an idea of what products the corporation plans to create in the future. We are unlikely to see a folding iPhone soon, but the flexible screens are already in the limits of reality. It is not the first case where Apple shows its interest in flexible components. This same month Apple has received its first patent for a folding phone that can be opened and closed as a laptop thanks to some carbon nanotubes.

The Colombian government and FARC guerrillas will sign a definitive peace pact aimed at ending a half-century of confrontation in a small theater in Bogota on Thursday, which was renegotiated to include opposition proposals, AFP news agency reported. The size of the recently renovated Teatro Colón, which has recently been renovated and can accommodate some 800 people, will mark the low profile of the ceremony in which the agreement will be signed by President Juan Manuel Santos and FARC leader Rodrigo Londoño ( "Timochenko" ). On this occasion, and following the rejection of the first agreement in a plebiscite on October 2, the guests will be Colombian exponents, legislators, magistrates, victims of the armed conflict and representatives of social organizations. The size of the ceremony, which will be accessible to the public will be projected on giant screens in Bogotá's Bolivar Square, was criticized by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Guerrilla commander Marcos Calarcá, a member of the peace delegation who negotiated for four years with the Colombian government in Cuba, said that "unfortunately the spaces are limited" in the Colon Theater. "There are many more people than the 800 people who fit here in the theater, who deserve to be, who want to be, who should be." In the early hours of the afternoon, and already signed, the text will be taken to Congress, with a majority of the government and where it is expected to be countersigned next week. Senate President Mauricio Lizcano told reporters on Wednesday that Parliament is ready to "work every day" first on the endorsement of the agreement and then on approval - for the next few months - of all the necessary laws to put it into effect. March. The decision to endorse the agreement in Congress, taken Tuesday by the FARC and the government, was rejected by those opposed to the pact, led by former president and current Senator Alvaro Uribe.

Facebook developed software that will help keep certain content and news from countries that still contemplate previous censorship of their practices away. This move reflects the company's willingness to meet the demands of the Chinese government to regain its presence in the Asian region. The social network was banned in the country in 2009 due to the opposition of the high spheres. However, Facebook, along with many other technology companies in the United States, does not want to lose the possibility of entering a market of 1.4 billion people. Thus, Mark Zuckerberg has even learned part of the language and has visited the country on numerous occasions to meet with top leaders. The new tool suppresses messages from people appearing in certain geographical areas, but will not be operated directly by Facebook, according to the New York Times. Thus, the solution will allow one or several partners, probably a Chinese company, to monitor po[CENSORED]r stories and topics on the page to have full control over whether those messages should appear in users' feeds. In an internal event last July, Zuckerberg said that "it is better to be part of the conversation, even if it is not complete," the New York Times reports. At the moment, there is no indication that Facebook has offered the tool to the country and, like other experiments carried out by the company, the tool could even be archived, according to newspaper sources. China recently approved a new law on cybersecurity that gives it greater control over the Internet, including requiring the local storage of certain data and forcing any major enterprise working in the country to be subject to government security reviews. "For a long time we have affirmed that we are interested in China and right now we are going through a process in which we are understanding and learning more about the country. However, we have not made any decisions about our approach there, "a Facebook spokesman wrote. "We are now focused on helping Chinese companies and developers to expand to new markets outside the region using our ad platform."

One of the major drawbacks we find when traveling is the impossibility of washing clothes properly. If you are going to spend a lot of days away from home and do not want to overload the suitcase, an interesting and practical alternative is Nival, a portable washer that fits in the palm of your hand to carry with you anywhere. The device is a transducer that induces high pressure waves at the frequency of washing by hand, generating cavitation bubbles to stir a liquid. This agitation exerts a very high force on the contaminants that adhere to the clothes, penetrating in the microfibers to separate dirt, oil, dust or grease stains. To wash, all you have to do is to put the clothes in a container with water, plug the section and immerse it in the liquid. It works with a small detergent tablet that is only 7 mm thick. They dissolve in a minute and with the help of the waves can remove 99% of the bacteria in half an hour. In addition, it has the advantage of saving 50% of water and energy, and the detergent contains no chemical elements. The company that has developed this travel washing machine hopes to make its invention a reality through crowdfunding. It has already achieved 60% of the $ 20,000 that has been set as the economic target, and still has a month ahead to get contributions. If you are interested in this device to make the laundry on vacation, you can buy it on the Indiegogo page at a price from 99 dollars (93.78 euros at current exchange rate). The pack includes 10 capsules of detergent, and you can purchase additional tablets for 70 dollars (66.31 euros) pack of 150 units. In case the campaign goes ahead, the delivery of the products will take place in the month of April next year

Vasileios Tsormpatzoudis, a researcher at the University of Manchester in the UK, has developed MySmartCane, a walking stick that could change the lives of blind and partially sighted people. What this scientist has done has been to optimize a traditional walking stick , white by incorporating a low-cost computer. The resulting device has functions similar to those of a parking sensor, offering the user precise and useful information to help him orient himself and move around the environment. MySmartCane uses a system based on the intensity of the alerts to transmit the distance of the objects, using a soft sound when they are far and stronger when they are near. "It allows visually impaired people to perceive their environment beyond the physical length of their walking stick," explains Tsormpatzoudis. For its manufacture, the researcher has used 3D printing in order to lower production costs. It is composed of a standard stick with a ball-like spherical module containing the ultrasonic sensors and electronic components at the lower end. The device wirelessly measures the distance to which the obstacles are located and translates the information to audio signals. Thanks to the frequency of the sound, the blind can know where the objects are located. In addition, it has the advantage that alerts can also be heard through headphones, allowing better reception in crowded and noisy environments. This smart walking stick for the blind is still at an early stage of development, and its inventor says he has many ideas in mind to refine his design. "I want to add an additional sensor to detect general obstacles that could cause injuries and are impossible to detect with a conventional walking stick," he says, and would also like to create a vibration alert system instead of sound.
