Spanish ATM gives out free money to people willing to share it

In Spain, an ATM machine dispensesfree cash to people willing to share it with others.

"ElCajero de la felicidad," or "The ATM of Happiness," is part of Coca-Cola's "Share Happiness" campaign.

Gizmodo's Jesus Diaz offered a little background information on the significance of free money in his home country:

"You probably have heard that it's suffering a terrible recession. The situation is terrible: six million people without a job, corrupt politicians everywhere, gangster banks repossessing homes after receiving bailouts funded by taxpayers, and inept bureaucrats running every institution of the country. People are fed up, disgusted and poor. But there's hope, as this video shows."

"Get 100 euros ($131). Without card," a sign above the machine, which has been placed in different Spanish cities,reads.

The only condition for the free cash? The receiver must share their mini-jackpot with others.

After the individual agreed to share the money, the ATM offered several options, like "hire an storyteller for the kids in your neighbourhood" or "buy diapers for a pregnant woman."

Once the person agreed to a good deed, the money was theirs.

"The Happiness ATM was part of the company’s ongoing 'Share Happiness' campaign; participants who agreed to share were given ideas on how to share it through the ATM interface — instead of options to withdraw or deposit money, the participants saw sharing options. Coca-Cola states that they don’t know what everyone did with the money, but the experiences people shared with the company show that the participants took the challenge to heart," Emma Hutchings wrote for PSFK.

As the video shows, many people did follow through with their promise to share. Recipients of the cash submitted videos of themselves spreading happiness with their ATM withdrawal.

TED 2013: Space Top 3D see-through computer revealed

TED fellow Jinha Lee has been working on the SpaceTop 3D desktop in collaboration with Microsoft.

Allowing people to interact with machines in the same way they do with solid objects could make computing much more intuitive, he told the BBC.

He can see the system coming into general use within a decade.

The system consists of a transparent LED display with built-in cameras, which track the user's gestures and eye movements.

Human touch

The design was inspired by what he sees as a human need to interact with things.

"Spatial memory, where the body intuitively remembers where things are, is a very human skill," he said.

Translating this to the digital world will enable people to use computers more easily as well as complete more complex tasks.

"If you are working on a document you can pick it up and flip through it like a book," he told the BBC.

For more precise tasks, where hand gestures are not accurate, there is a touchpad. It will allow, for example architects to manipulate 3Dmodels.

"The gap between what the designer thinks and what the computer can do is huge. If you can put your hands inside the computer and handle digital content you can express ideas more completely," he said.

Not everyone is convinced by the Minority Report-style future that will see us interact with machine via touch.

In an interview with The Awl website designer Christian Brown said: "Human hands and fingers are good at feeling texture and detail, and good at gripping things - neither of which touch interfaces take advantage of.

"The real future of interfaces will take advantage of our natural abilities to tell the difference between textures, to use our hands to do things without looking at them."

Magicball

Mr Lee, a graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is currently serving his military obligation in South Korea at Samsung Electronics, where he is working on TV interfaces.

At TED, which stands for Technology, Education and Design, he also demonstrated other projects he is working on, including ZeroN, a floating ball, which can literally be placed in midair.

It utilises electromagnetism to stay afloat and when coupled with software can be used for a variety of applications.

"It could be used in schools," said Mr Lee.

"If kids are learning about planetary movement they can pick up a model of a planet and place it in orbit. That is tangible and makes the learning experience so much more powerful."

He is also working on an augmented reality shopping app, which combined with a virtual reality handset would allow users to try on items such as watches from online shops.

For Mr Lee the ultimate goal is to unite the digital and physical worlds.

"I don't want to look back on my life and find that I have just been typing on a keyboard," he said.

"It is one of our key human skills to be able to interact with 3D spaces and I wanted to let people do the same with digital content."

Computers are becoming more user-friendly as the gap between the real world and technology closes.

"With the first computers there was a huge gap but that gap is getting smaller with things such as touchscreens," he said.

"The only boundary left is our imagination."

Programmer 'outsources' his own job to China!

A computer programmer named 'Bob'' is report by Verizon' Risk Team, paid programmers in China one fifth of his salary to do his own job, so that he can spent his work days browsing the internet.

Bob spent his whole day browsing videos on Youtube and using social networking site like Facebook , Ebay and Reddit. He is no longer working for the company according to security company Verizon.

"Bob spent less that one fifth of his six-figure salary for a Chinese firm to do his job for him. Authentication was no problem, he physically FedExed his RSA token to China so that the third-party contractor could log-in under his credentials during the workday. It would appear that he was working an average 9 to 5 work day. Evidence even suggested he had the same scam going across multiple companies in the area. All told, it looked like he earned several hundred thousand dollars a year, and only had to pay the Chinese consulting firm about fifty grand annually." said Andrew Valentine of Verizon.

An American employer who fear they had been targeted by hackers called in Verizon and inform them regarding to this issue.

Twitter ordered to identify bigoted tweeters in France

Last Thursday, French court ordered Twitter Inc to help identify the authors of bigoted post or face fines of 1,000 euros per day,as the social network firm comes under renewed pressure to combat racist and extremist messages.

It is requested by a Jewish student union and right groups that concerned bigoted material but could open the floodgates to legal pursuit of Twitter users who post a wide range of messages deemed illegal or offensive.

"This is an excellent decision, which we hope will bring an end to the feeling of impunity that fuels the worst excesses," said Stephane Lilti, lawyer for the groups who sought the ruling.

The anti-Semitic message started appearing last October, and have since been deleted.
The Paris court gave privately-held Twitter, whose general policy is that it does not control content posted on its network, 15 days to hand over data identifying people who have published messages judged anti-Semitic.

The court also ordered Twitter to set up a system in France that helps people draw attention to illegal content. Under French law, people found guilty of inciting racial hatred can be jailed for a year and fined.

Twitter's lawyer in France, Alexandra Neri, declined to comment.

Samsung New 5.8” Smartphone

Samsung New 5.8" Smartphone

The evolution of cellphones as of today is “the smaller , the better”. But the smartphone is different, as we continue to grow fond of the things we can do on a touchscreen, manufacturers have seemingly shifted focus on monstrous mobile phones.

As BGR reports, Samsung is preparing to go big or go home with the "GalaxyFonblet" a new smartphone that features a 5.8-inch screen. Initially set to go on sale in Europe, the Fonblet is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8, a media player exclusively sold in Korea.

"Samsung's apparent determination to fill every conceivable size gap between tiny smartphone and large tablet is hard to fathom," says Will Shanklin in a Gizmag blog. "But then again, a 5.8-inch smartphone could potentially hit a sweet spot for customers who only want one mobile device."

This new tool is very simple to use. But some reminder before you start to jailbreak your Iphone make sure you have a current backup of your IOS device. If you have a passcode on your IOS device , the evation team suggests disabling it before you being the jailbreak process; apparently it can cause issues.

Here are the steps:

1. Download EVASION 1.0 on your computer. There are version for MAC , WINDOWS and LINUX users.
2. Rune the program. OS X users may have to bypass the gatekeeper feature in OS X 10.8 by clicking the application icon and select open.
3. Connect your IOS device to your computer, and then click the jailbreak button. Your device will light up , restart and do all sort things during the process. Just leave it plugged in and wait for the next instruction in the application window.
4. After a few minutes and a reboot or two, you'll be asked to unlock it and tap the “jailbreak” icon. As the instruction say , only tap it once. Your IOS device screen will flash and then the evasion application on your computer will continue.
5. After a few seconds later, you'll see a notification that the jailbreak has finished. While that may be true for the application, your IOS will reboot a few times while the process finishes. You'll know it's truly finished when you see your lock screen and wallpaper. You should the have a Cydia icon on your home screen, confirming that the jailbreak was successful.
