Mexican doctors say they have removed a 33-pound (15-kilogram) tumor from the body of a 2-year-old child who weighed only 26 pounds (12 kilograms).Dr. Gustavo Hernandez says the child from the northern state of Durango was born with a lump that eventually covered the right side of his body from his armpit to his hip.
Hernandez says it took doctors at the La Raza Medical Center in Mexico City 10 hours to remove the tumor on June 14. Hernandez is the director of pediatrics at La Raza hospital.
He says the boy is recovering and doing well. The doctor also said Tuesday that the operation was the first time Mexican doctors have removed a tumor bigger than the person carrying it.Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

European Union,Germany offers vision
Political posters in Rome are comparing her to Hitler. A popular British magazine dubbed her “Europe’s most dangerous leader.” But could German Chancellor Angela Merkel — the frugal physicist foisting tough austerity on the region’s hard-hit economies — really be the most pro-European leader in Europe?
Merkel arrives here Thursday for a European Union summit, with the stoic 57-year-old raised in East Germany once again seen as the chief stumbling block to a shock and awe response to the region’s debt crisis. Jealously guarding the purse strings of Germany — an anchor of economic might and stability in a region adrift in financial trouble — the leader nicknamed “Frau Nein” by the European press is resisting calls to roll out a bevy of measures seen as possible quick fixes to the crisis.
But especially in recent weeks, Merkel and her top ministers have been spelling out a far grander German alternative to convince markets the euro is here to stay. What they envision would mark a radical step forward in European integration through a “political union” in which countries in the region would act more like U.S. states, sharing everything from an elected president to a pan-European army.
Such visions are hardly new, but the Germans are nevertheless building a fresh case that integration is now the only real way to shore up the foundations of the euro, albeit one that could take years, if not generations, to see through. Part of the summit here will be dedicated to debating the first steps of such a path, including the creation of a regional banking supervisor that, in about a year, would have the power to do something long considered taboo in the fiercely independent nations of the euro zone: Override the authority of national governments.
Grander plans also being discussed call for the establishment of a sort of European Treasury down the line, vesting central authorities with broad powers over national budgets.
Yet for many in Europe, the holdout by Germany for a grander plan is being seen as both suspicious and highly damaging.
In a more deeply integrated Europe, Berlin could emerge as the most powerful single voice, particularly sending chills down the spines of the French. At the same time, critics charge that Merkel’s call for a bigger — and slower — solution is simply a cover for German unwillingness to take costly and critical stopgap measures. They warn that there could be no euro zone left to integrate if the region acts on Berlin’s timetable.
Ratcheting up the pressure on Merkel to give in and back emergency measures to bring down the soaring borrowing costs for troubled euro-zone countries, the leaders of Spain and Italy have issued thinly veiled messages to the Germans over the past 24 hours suggesting that time is running out.
“There are many institutions and financial entities that have no market access,” Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy warned Wednesday. He said Spain itself was losing the ability to refinance government operations on open markets and called for “urgent” action. “It is happening in Spain,” he said. “It is happening in Italy and in other countries. This is a crucial issue.”

Capture candids,Nokia Camera Extras hits Lumia 900
Although Nokia's Camera Extras app was scheduled to hit Lumia 900 smartphones sometime next week, owners in the US and China will be pleased to know they they can get it now. Nokia has officially pushed the free app into the Windows Phone Marketplace for both regions, giving Mango-flavored Lumia users four new options for capturing photos. Along with a much-needed self-timer, you'll find three other modes: Panorama, Action Shot (for photographing fast-moving subjects) and Smart Group Shot (selects the best faces from a sequence of frames). Don't fret if you don't have a 900 or live outside of the aforementioned either -- Nokia plans to release the Scalado-bred software for all Lumia smartphones worldwide in July.

BALI BOMBER,TERORISM UMAR PATEK,GETS 20 YEARS JAIL
Umar Patek, who spent almost 10 years on the run as one of South-East Asia's most wanted, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit terrorism and harbouring information about terrorism.But more significantly, the 45-year-old was also sentenced in relation to his role in building the explosive devices used in the bombing of two nightclubs in Bali's popular holiday area of Kuta almost a decade ago.
The Sari Club was levelled when a massive bomb loaded into a van parked outside was detonated just after 11pm on October 12, 2002.
About 20 seconds earlier, a suicide bomber had detonated a backpack loaded with explosives inside Paddy's Bar.
The co-ordinated attacks, which were partly funded by al-Qaeda, killed 202 people including 88 Australians and injured scores more.
Authorities were not able to charge Patek with terrorism offences over the Bali bombing because Indonesia's counter-terrorism laws were introduced after the attacks were carried out, and could not be applied retrospectively.
He was instead found guilty of mass murder under the Indonesian Criminal Code.
Krisnugroho, one of a panel of five judges presiding over the case in the West Jakarta District Court, said they were unanimous in finding that the murder charge against Patek had been proven.
''The defendant was deliberately involved in planning the Bali bombing,'' Krisnugroho, who has only one name, told the court.
''Apart from that, the defendant admitted himself that he was involved (in preparing the bombs).''
Patek was also found guilty of one count of possession of explosives, and a number of minor offences related to document fraud.
While a number of the charges carried a maximum penalty of death, prosecutors last month stopped short of calling for Patek to face a firing squad, instead demanding a sentence of life in prison.
The judges, however, handed down a sentence of just 20 years.
''His actions took lives, he caused deep suffering to victims and their families,'' chief judge Encep Yuliadi told the court as he read out the sentence.
Dressed in a white robe, Patek showed little emotion as the verdict and sentence were delivered.
The verdict, handed down amid a massive media presence, marked the end of an almost decade-long effort to bring all the plotters behind the Bali bombings to justice with Patek the last of the group to be caught.A number of those already convicted over Indonesia's deadliest terrorist attack are serving life sentences, while three members of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) terror cell responsible for the bombings - Mukhlas, Amrozi and Imam Samudra - were executed in 2008.
The terrorist known as Dulmatin, a senior JI figure and the mastermind behind the Bali bombings, was killed in Jakarta in 2010 in a shootout with police.
Patek had avoided capture for almost a decade but was eventually apprehended in January 2011 in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad where US forces killed former al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden less than four months later.

Lawyer Offers,Intrigue Over Mubarak Condition Intensifies
A new sense of political intrigue compounded the confusion over the health of Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday when one of his lawyers contradicted what he called false reports in Egypt’s state-run media that the imprisoned former president had nearly died, insisting that Mr. Mubarak simply fell down in the prison bathroom.
The new account from the lawyer, Youssri Abdel Razeq, raised new questions not only about Mr. Mubarak’s condition but about possible motives within the military-led government that has been in charge since Mr. Mubarak was deposed in the Egyptian revolution last year.
Until Tuesday, Mr. Mubarak, 84, had been kept in the medical wing of a Cairo prison where he had served 17 days of a life sentence for murder as an accomplice in the police killing of hundreds of demonstrators during the protests that eventually toppled him. His lawyers had complained that his deteriorating health meant he should be spared incarceration.
Conflicting reports about Mr. Mubarak’s deteriorating health began to circulate on Tuesday, including one that declared him “clinically dead,” just as the military council was attempting to extend its hold on state power indefinitely in the face of growing street protests demanding it cede authority to a newly elected president and reinstate the dissolved parliament. Egyptian officials, the state news agency and official media said he had been removed from the prison to a hospital after a stroke and heart attack had left him in a coma, near death and dependent on artificial life support.
Mr. Abdel Razeq denied that on Wednesday. What really happened, the lawyer said, was that Mr. Mubarak had suffered a fall in the prison bathroom, which resulted in a blood clot on his neck, and that he had been removed from the prison at 5 p.m. — long before the reports of his near-death experience began to appear.
“We were surprised at what we can call a media mania in Egypt last night,” the lawyer said.
He said doctors had quickly given Mr. Mubarak medicine to remove the blood clot in his neck, he underwent an M.R.I. test, and was in stable condition. Mr. Abdel Razeq said Mr. Mubarak’s legal team had filed a request with an administrative court seeking Mr. Mubarak’s full release on medical grounds. And he said that they were open to sending Mr. Mubarak abroad for medical care out of the country as well, just he had traveled to Germany two years ago for intestinal surgery. “If the doctors recommend that, of course,” Mr. Abdel Razeq said.
Earlier Wednesday, security officials said Mr. Mubarak was breathing on his own and his condition was nearly stable.The former president’s health has been a source of constant speculation and suspicion since his imprisonment. Mr. Mubarak has had health problems for years, but the flood of reports and scares in recent weeks led many Egyptians to believe that the military rulers, determined to move Mr. Mubarak from prison, were using those accounts to prepare the public for such a move.
Low ranking security officers, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, speculated that the previous night’s reports that Mr. Mubarak was on the edge of death were part of a scheme to transport him out of Egypt for care. Indeed, many Egyptians on Wednesday wondered if the state news agency reports of his near death were all a morbid hoax.
Security outside the hospital where Mr. Mubarak was said to be staying was light for a facility housing the former head of state. Civilians came and went freely through a side door of the hospital on Wednesday, and two people leaving the grounds said they noticed no change in the hospital’s operations or security.
The news accounts of his failing health late Tuesday spread quickly through Tahrir Square, the birthplace of the uprising, where tens of thousands of people were protesting the military council governing Egypt. In recent days, the generals had moved to seize the kind of uncontested authority that the former president wielded during his nearly three decades in power.
The confusion over Mr. Mubarak’s health injected new volatility into the country’s growing political and constitutional crisis, even as the two candidates to replace Mr. Mubarak as president both declared themselves the winners of the weekend’s election.Analysts marveled that Mr. Mubarak had lost consciousness at the climactic moment of the struggle over the future of the system he had defined for so long, and just two days after the vote to choose his successor.
“It is very Shakespearean,” said Diaa Rashwan, an analyst at Al Ahram Center, a state-financed research institute. “To himself, he is eternal. There can be nobody after him. He does not want to hear the name of his successor.”On Monday, Mohamed Morsi, a Brotherhood leader, said he had won Egypt’s first competitive presidential election, beating Ahmed Shafik, Mr. Mubarak’s last prime minister, with 52 percent of the vote.
The votes were counted publicly at the polling stations, and Egyptian state news media reported the same count as the Brotherhood. Official vote results are expected to be announced this week, but on Tuesday, Mr. Shafik disputed several of the tallies, including those reported in the state news media, that forecast Mr. Morsi as the winner.A spokesman for Mr. Shafik, Ahmad Sarhan, said without explanation that he had won with 51.5 percent of the vote. But that announcement seemed another tactic in a battle that began before voters went to the polls.
Last week, the generals dissolved Parliament, which was dominated by the Brotherhood, saying the move was justified because of a decision by a court of judges appointed by Mr. Mubarak. The generals also proceeded to issue their own interim constitution, entrenching their power while all but eviscerating the authority of the new president.The interim constitution also provided the generals and the Mubarak-appointed judiciary with broad sway over the drafting of Egypt’s next permanent constitution.
Former President Jimmy Carter, whose Carter Center monitored the election, said in a statement on Tuesday he was “deeply troubled by the undemocratic turn that Egypt has taken.” The center expressed its “grave concern about the broader political and constitutional context, which calls into question the meaning and purpose of the elections.”
Mr. Carter said that in contrast to the first round of voting last month, some international observers had been subjected to “heightened scrutiny and intimidation from military personnel” during last weekend’s vote.
“There was a small but notable pattern of intimidation of Carter Center witnesses,” Mr. Carter said. The military filmed observers at several polling places, and one international observer felt coerced to make positive statements about the process.Mr. Carter said he was also concerned about the limitations put on his teams’ ability to monitor the vote and the ballot counting. The “restrictions are contrary to the core principles of credible and effective election observation,” he said in the statement. “The Carter Center will not witness future elections in such circumstances.”
But the Brotherhood was not about to walk away, and it vowed to use the legitimacy of the election to rally the public and fight for power. It called for large street protests until the generals backed down, and on Tuesday tens of thousands of protesters poured into Tahrir Square in response.As the crowd swelled, a protest leader issued a warning to the military, whose forces had surrounded the Parliament building to prevent elected members from entering.
“We’re giving the forces now standing in front of the Parliament until the official results are announced,” he said, referring to the official election count. “After the official results, if one soldier is standing there — ” he said, his voice drowned out by the crowd.
“The struggle starts now,” said Mohammed Gamal, one of the protesters. “The people’s legitimacy will not be canceled out by the greed of old generals.”
As Mr. Gamal spoke, Mr. Mubarak was being transferred by ambulance to a hospital. Officials and the state news media said that his health had deteriorated rapidly, that he had gone into cardiac arrest and that he needed defibrillation, before suffering the stroke.Mr. Mubarak was last seen in public 17 days ago when he was sentenced to life. Though the judge had pronounced him responsible for a “dark, dark, dark” era of crimes and said he was broadly responsible for the killings, the verdict was followed by days of street protests. It appeared the judge paved the way for Mr. Mubarak to appeal by saying that prosecutors had shown no evidence linking Mr. Mubarak to the killings.
His questionable conviction, and earlier reports that Mr. Mubarak might be released from the hospital because of his health, became a major issue in the runoff to succeed him.His health had also declined rapidly after his sentencing, when he was flown by helicopter from the courthouse to a hospital ward in a notorious prison where his government’s political prisoners had served their sentences.
The subject of Mr. Mubarak’s health was a taboo subject, punishable by prison time, when he was president. The flood of reports after his imprisonment led many to speculate that the ruling generals were testing the public reaction in case they decided to move the former president out of prison to the relative comfort of the military hospital.Mr. Mubarak’s lawyer told CNN on Tuesday that his wife, Suzanne Mubarak, was by his side, and he expressed anger that Egypt’s military rulers had not moved him to the hospital sooner.
It will be their responsibility “if he dies,” the lawyer said.
In Tahrir Square, the news of Mr. Mubarak’s health was met with familiar doubts. “They say Mubarak really died,” said Hatem Moustafa, 22. “Maybe this time it is really true.”
But he was not convinced. “I think the military council is saying this so that we will leave Tahrir Square,” Mr. Moustafa said. “They would say anything to get us to leave the Square.”
The new account from the lawyer, Youssri Abdel Razeq, raised new questions not only about Mr. Mubarak’s condition but about possible motives within the military-led government that has been in charge since Mr. Mubarak was deposed in the Egyptian revolution last year.

Officials and the state news media said that his health had deteriorated rapidly, that he had gone into cardiac arrest and that he needed defibrillation, before suffering the stroke.Mr. Mubarak was last seen in public 17 days ago when he was sentenced to life. Though the judge had pronounced him responsible for a “dark, dark, dark” era of crimes and said he was broadly responsible for the killings, the verdict was followed by days of street protests. It appeared the judge paved the way for Mr. Mubarak to appeal by saying that prosecutors had shown no evidence linking Mr. Mubarak to the killings.
His questionable conviction, and earlier reports that Mr. Mubarak might be released from the hospital because of his health, became a major issue in the runoff to succeed him.His health had also declined rapidly after his sentencing, when he was flown by helicopter from the courthouse to a hospital ward in a notorious prison where his government’s political prisoners had served their sentences.
The subject of Mr. Mubarak’s health was a taboo subject, punishable by prison time, when he was president. The flood of reports after his imprisonment led many to speculate that the ruling generals were testing the public reaction in case they decided to move the former president out of prison to the relative comfort of the military hospital.Mr. Mubarak’s lawyer told CNN on Tuesday that his wife, Suzanne Mubarak, was by his side, and he expressed anger that Egypt’s military rulers had not moved him to the hospital sooner.
It will be their responsibility “if he dies,” the lawyer said.
In Tahrir Square, the news of Mr. Mubarak’s health was met with familiar doubts. “They say Mubarak really died,” said Hatem Moustafa, 22. “Maybe this time it is really true.”
But he was not convinced. “I think the military council is saying this so that we will leave Tahrir Square,” Mr. Moustafa said. “They would say anything to get us to leave the Square.”
TheAmazing first object in the Universe Discovered
Telescope Siptzer Space Agency the United States NASA succeeded in capture the image of the object which is probably the the first objects in universe.Objects that appear as dots of light that has a certain pattern. Object might have been a star or black hole. Clearly, the human eye views it as a faint object.
Alexander 'Sasha' Kaslinsky from Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, as quoted Space, Friday (08/06/2012), said, "This object must have (actually) is very bright."
"We can not explain with certainty the source of this light, which may have come from a universe that is near us. However, it is possible that we have found that very object of the past," said Sasha.
Spitzer Space Telescope captured the light in during 400 hours of observation with infrared waves. To find the light that allegedly was the first object in the universe, galaxy and star images are captured should be eliminated.
Glenn Wahlgren, a mission scientist on the Spitzer said, the discovery by the Spitzer telescope will be followed up with the James Webb Space Telescope is more qualified and will be launched later in 2018.
Discovery of light who allegedly object oldest in universe is published in Astrophysical Journal. Light indicating that the object may be visible or UV light, but turns into infrared on the way.
Known, the universe was created last year by 13.7 Big Bang. After the Big Bang, quarks are created, then arrange the protons and electrons, and finally atoms. 500 million years after Big Bang, stars and galaxies the first is created.

Muslim, Buddhist mob violence threatens new Myanmar image
Northwest Myanmar was tense on Monday after sectarian violence engulfed its largest city at the weekend, with Reuters witnessing rival mobs of Muslims and Buddhists torching houses and police firing into the air to disperse crowds.
At least eight people were killed and many wounded, authorities say, in the worst communal violence since a reformist government replaced a junta last year and vowed to forge unity in one of Asia's most ethnically diverse countries.
The fighting erupted on Friday in the Rakhine State town of Maungdaw, but has spread to the capital Sittwe and nearby villages, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency late on Sunday and impose a dawn-to-dusk curfew. Foreign aid workers have begun pulling out, aid sources said.
Plumes of black smoke rose over parts of Sittwe, a port town of mainly wooden houses where Buddhists and Muslims have long lived in uneasy proximity. Some Buddhists were seen carrying bamboo stakes and other makeshift weapons.
"We have now ordered troops to protect the airport and the Rakhine villages under attack in Sittwe," Zaw Htay, director of the President's Office, told Reuters. "Arrangements are under way to impose a curfew in some other towns."
The unrest undermines the image of ethnic unity and stability that helped persuade the United States and Europe to suspend economic sanctions this year, while increasing curfews could threaten tourism and foreign investment - rewards for emerging from nearly half a century of army rule.
It might also force reformist President Thein Sein, a former general, to confront an issue that human rights groups have criticised for years: the plight of thousands of stateless Rohingya Muslims who live along Myanmar's border with Bangladesh in abject conditions and are despised by many ethnic Rakhine, members of Myanmar's predominantly Buddhist majority.
"Vengeance and anarchy" could spread beyond Rakhine State and jeopardise the country's transition to democracy, Thein Sein warned in a hastily arranged televised address on Sunday.
Rohingya activists have long demanded recognition as an indigenous ethnic group with full citizenship by birthright, claiming a centuries-old lineage in Rakhine. But the government regards them as illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh and denies them citizenship.
In recent days, they have been described as "invaders" or "terrorists" by some Burmese using their newfound freedom of expression and easier access to the Internet to vent their anger on social networking sites and express anti-Rohingya sentiments that have simmered for decades.
The authorities have blamed Rohingya mobs for the violence. Witnesses from Maungdaw on Saturday described Rohingya attacking Buddhist homes. "It's just like a living hell. I wonder how long we will have to live like this?" said Mya Khin, a housewife.
Rohingya activists and residents accuse ethnic Rakhine of terrorising their communities. Witnesses in Sittwe said homes were torched on Sunday in at least four places.By late Sunday, tensions appeared to be spreading. State-run MRTV announced curfews in three other Rakhine towns, including Thandwe, the gateway to Myanmar's tourist beaches, and Kyaukphyu, where China is building a giant port complex.

Europe races to make big fixes in the euro
European leaders are racing to hash out a grand bargain to save the euro and prevent the region’s 21 / 2-year debt crisis from going critical. To grasp the equally grand flaws of the currency union they are trying to fix, look no further than the plight of Flor Martinez, a feisty but fearful Spanish retiree.
Martinez, 67, is counting the days until July 13, the date when her life savings — now locked up in a certificate of deposit — is finally available for withdrawal from her now-wobbly Spanish bank. If her money were stashed, say, in Miami instead of Madrid, Martinez could rest assured: Even if the bank went bust, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in Washington would step in to protect her cash.
But instead, Martinez, a former hotel clerk, lives in the euro zone — a partially integrated group of 17 nations from Germany to Greece, Finland to Spain that share a common currency. And when it comes to banking deposits, it is every nation for itself.
In times of crisis, European leaders are learning, that is a recipe for disaster. Taxpayers in rock-solid Germany, for instance, have yet to make the leap to putting their cash on the line to directly insure depositors in hard-hit Spain or Greece. That has robbed Martinez of the confidence she might otherwise have to keep her money in an ailing Spanish bank, given that the same government expected to insure her deposits-Spain-is currently facing questions about its own creditworthiness. The European Union and Spain appear close to reaching a bailout deal to shore up Spanish banks that could go a good way toward bolstering confidence, turning the tide of an outflow of deposits in recent weeks that has threatened an economy nearly the size of India’s.
But that would not solve the bigger question of whether, in times both better and worse, a euro deposited in any bank in the 17 nations of the euro zone-particularly its weaker economies-would always be insured by the union’s collective might. For Martinez, her sense of insecurity is such that she has firmly decided to withdraw her nest egg no matter what, stuffing her 20,000 euros “under my mattress.” There, she insisted,they would be “safer than in any bank in Spain.”
Her fears underscore what European leaders are now recognizing as but one of several fundamental flaws of the currency union that have only fully revealed themselves in a time of extreme crisis. It has left them scrambling to reach a landmark accord by the end of a two-day summit June 29, achieving something in weeks that their predecessors who designed the euro could not do in decades: force the fiercely independent European nations-some sharing centuries of animosity — to take a far bigger leap toward economic integration.
With this nation that once commanded the world’s mightiest empire now in the firing line of investors, Europe’s time to solve a crisis that has ebbed and flowed since late 2009 is running out. Spanish officials are calling on Europe to act.
“Europe needs to decide where it is going. It needs to say that the euro is an irreversible project and not just a game,” Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told the Senate in Madrid this week.
Prepare PopCap 'Plants vs Zombies' version of Indonesia
Leading casual game developer PopCap Plants vs Zombies indicate the presence of (PvZ) for Indonesia.Evan Spytma, PopCap Regional Director for Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand deliver it when talking in
Spytma did not reveal for certain whether this means there will be a version PvZ Indonesia. "All I can say only, in the year
This will be an improved version for Indonesia, "he said.
In China, PopCap has presented PvZ version of Great Wall, which has a typical localization of content and China.
According Spytma, localize the game does not necessarily mean they did change it into a special version of certain nations.
"We want players to experience the PopCap really. In fact it was not meant to translate it," he said.But he acknowledged that the time of entry into a country seriously, PopCap will see if there are cultural references that can be applied in the game.
PopCap also seems to be a serious show its presence in Indonesia. For example, indicate the possible presence Spytma PvZ merchandise in the country.
The move is similar to that done by licensed Rovio Angry Birds to a variety of products in Indonesia, ranging from clothing to stationery to other souvenirs.
PvZ is a casual game featuring the zombies to attack a house. Players assume the role as a homeowner who put anti-zombie plants in the yard.
The character of pea plants from PvZ Pea Shooter has become one of the characters are well known. Popularity in Indonesia although perhaps not as Angry Birds.

Dozens of immigrants arrested in Alas Strait
Mataram,,,,Police Air Police of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) arrested dozens of immigrants in the Alas Strait, Sumbawa, NTB, Saturday (2/6). Immigrants are planning to seek asylum in Australia.
A total of 70 immigrants are a mix of Vietnam and the Middle East. Currently, as many as 50 immigrants from Vietnam are accommodated in a guesthouse in Mataram. The 20 immigrants from Afghanistan remain in East Lombok Mapolres.
The immigrants had been due to cross into the waters of Australia by Indonesian-flagged fishing boat. During 2012, the Police NTB has five times the illegal immigrants who want to secure the crossing Indonesian waters without permission.
Puzzle on the iPhone 4S S
Since its launch in October last year, a lot of speculation with the letter S after the name iPhone 4S. Some say the letter that stands for speed, or speed.
However, many Apple users who believe that the name of the phone means iPhone For Steve. A form of homage to the founder of Apple, who died a day after the phone is officially launched.
"S in iPhone 4S refers to Siri. While the iPhone 3G S refers to the speed," said Apple CEO Tim Cook All Things Digital conference, as quoted Telsetnews, recently.
Siri is a personal assistant features embedded in Apple's flagship device. Cook also explained that currently the Siri still has many bugs. However, he promised the next few months Siri will operate perfectly.
"We will introduce a few new things are very good. You will love it," he said.
Several deficiencies in the Siri because Apple did not develop an API for developers, in order to integrate with third-party applications. However, Apple has made improvements related to the interpretation of sound and Preparing the availability of the network which became one of the key factors Siri can function properly.Cook admits that many are asking in the name of the procedure of Apple products that seem irregular. For example after the iPad 2, Apple's next product instead called The New iPad. According to Cook, naming the Apple usually refers to major changes embedded in the product. But, naming it does not have a standard structure.
"We can use the same name, like many people, adding to the numbers behind it, or use the same identity as the iPhone 4S," he said.
Hosni Mubarak Had Refused Admission to the Civil Prison
Although it has been ordered to move to a civilian prison, the former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak had refused. He even refused to tears when thrown into Tora prison on the outskirts of Cairo."She was crying and not willing to come out of the helicopter. Security officer must persuade him long enough for him to come out," said one local security officials told AFP on Saturday (02/06/2012).
"But now he's calmed down and ready to go to jail," he added.
Today, a Cairo court sentenced him to life imprisonment for Hosni Mubarak. Mubarak is now 84 years old (written 83 years earlier), was convicted of the murder of about 850 demonstrators during the revolution 18 days ago in early 2011. However, the judge freed on charges of corruption Mubarak dijeratkan him.
Meanwhile, the judge also sentenced to life imprisonment to former Egyptian Interior Minister Habib al-Adly. Adly is also on trial for murder with the protesters, as Mubarak. While six of his former security chief of Egypt's Mubarak era in the same case was tried, acquitted by the judge.
Finally, the judge renders a dijeratkan corruption charges to the two sons of Mubarak, Alaa and Gamal.
After the verdict, Attorney General of Egypt's Hosni Mubarak ordered transferred to a civilian prison, Tora. It is known that throughout the trial, Mubarak held in a military hospital on the outskirts of Cairo. Consideration, Mubarak must undergo treatment for his heart disease. Although there is also a mention that Mubarak had a tumor in the gallbladder and pancreas.
Tora prison, located in a suburb of Cairo was dubbed as a five star prison. Many officials and VIPs who languished in prison. Even the other defendants in the case of Mubarak was also detained in this prison during the trial run.
In fact have long been anti-Mubarak demonstrators in Egypt has objected to the decision of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), which puts Mubarak at a military hospital. According to them, the decision as 'rescue' Mubarak of real cruel prison. SCAF is a military government that ruled Egypt during the transition period.
European Unemployment Rate Reaches Highest Level
The unemployment rate in the 17 euro countries reached its highest level since the creation of their currencies in the last 13 years. Unemployment rose 11 percent in April as employers cut 110 000 jobs.While the unemployment rate in 27 other euro countries rose to 10.3 percent in April. The reason, as employers cut 102,000 jobs from their salary. According to records, the highest unemployment in the EU since 2000.
There are 24.7 million unemployed in the European Union in April, of whom 17.4 million are in the euro zone. Both numbers are well above the 12.7 million unemployed in the United States, which has a population of about six percent less than the euro zone.The United States in May melaporan, they add to the 69 000 workers. Although the number of unemployed still ticking up 8.2 percent.
The worst unemployment problem in Spain. The unemployment rate reached 24.3 percent. Greek unemployment reached 21.7 percent in February, last month in which figures are available.Greece is the country's debt default risk, especially if the European bailout deal collapsed as a result of the election. Such a move could force them out of the euro zone. While Spain dealing with the crisis in the banking system and may need a bailout of Europe itself.
Severe unemployment problem, especially for young workers across Europe, as 22.4% of those aged 24 or younger unemployed in the EU in April. More than half of young workers without a job in Spain and Greece.
Korg's OASYS Keyboard Debuts
The Korg Oasys has been causing quite a stir, the chattering in the isles has been along the lines of ? have you seen the Oasys??. We have and it?s impressive.
The Oasys is a new synthesizer platform for Korg, based on a Linux core the OASYS OPEN ARCHITECTURE SYNTHESIS STUDIO provides an impressive amount of synthesis capabilities with room for expansion. Korg have made a bold move with this keyboard, pricing is rumoured to be in the area of $7k for a fully loaded 88 key version and while this may seem like a lot, just see what you get:
Here?s the official Korg line
OASYS is actually three synthesizers in one: Korg's all-new HD-1 High Definition PCM Synthesizer plus two additional EXi Expansion Instruments, the powerful AL-1 Virtual Analog synth, and an enhanced CX-3 Tonewheel Organ.

Powerful PCM Synthesis
The 172-voice HD-1 offers an abundant 616 MB PCM library that captures the natural detail and ornamentation of an acoustic instrument. Also included are many stereo waveforms to preserve the natural imaging of acoustic sounds as well as up to 4-way velocity switching to recreate an instrument?s complete dynamic range. Extended-length samples preserve each instrument?s natural decay, especially evident in the drums and cymbals.

Extended-length samples preserve each instrument?s natural decay, especially evident in the drums and cymbals.
The HD-1?s detailed voice architecture allows a single oscillator to play back stereo waveforms and support 4-way layering, switching and crossfading. Newly-designed multi-mode resonant filters, a new ?Drive? parameter for harmonic overdrive, detailed Envelope Generators and increased modulation possibilities are a few of the other new capabilities.
Making a return are Korg?s classic Advanced Vector Synthesis and Wave Sequencing. Advanced Vector Synthesis allows for smooth blending between the two oscillators and user-definable modulation of many parameters. In Combination Mode, Advanced Vector Synthesis can blend between four different mixtures of sounds to create evocative, motion-based timbres. Wave Sequences play back a series of selected waveforms over time, creating either distinctive rhythmic timbres or continually evolving sounds. New additions to this classic technology include enhanced tempo synchronization, swing and dual integrated step-sequencer modulation outputs.
Analog Modeling
The AL-1 is a cutting-edge virtual analog synth engine delivering an unparalleled 84 notes of polyphony. Two ultra-low aliasing oscillators per voice offer eight waveforms for a wide palette of modulatable shapes. An adjustable ?Edge? parameter provides vintage oscillator modeling, while sync, FM and several varieties of ring modulation offer ample tone-shaping possibilities. A sub oscillator, colored noise generator and live audio input round out the signal sources. Each voice can use up to two of Korg?s new multimode resonant filters with a new MultiFilter allowing for crossfading in real time between any two of 21 different filter types ? including custom mixes.
