Since it was first introduced in the 2011 E3 event last year, a lot of speculation stating 'Wii N' is the code name and will not really be used when the gadget is launched.

"After looking at Nintendo's marketing efforts so strongly, to use that name, it looks like Nintendo Wii will not change the name of U," the report quoted from Slash Gear, Tuesday (05/29/2012).

Nintendo recently launched a Facebook Fan Page for U Wii, which also simultaneously show the new logo for the console. Of course, Nintendo is not possible to do things like this if they plan to change its name in the coming weeks.

This could be an opportunity for the Nintendo Wii to prove that U can be superior to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation.

Apple is Ready to sue Galaxy S III

Apple and Samsung relationship is often colored by the action required. Now, shortly after the birth of the Galaxy S III, Apple is ready to block the circulation of such products with a number of demands.

Yes, Apple does have a lot of patents are sometimes used to prosecute its competitors, such as Samsung and HTC, which had sued for violating a copyright.

Now, turn the Galaxy S III. The new phones launched last week in Indonesia is considered to mimic Apple has several technologies, including digital assistant named S Voice.

Another infringement by Apple is a matter of pressing the feature to pop up a few options in a number of applications, or commonly referred to as a data tapping.

For the record, these features are actually found in almost all Android phones. And Apple never used this excuse to sue HTC for some time.

As quoted from Android Community, Thursday (06/07/2012), this time Apple has filed a claim to legal institutions in California, United States. The goal is clear, to block the sale of Galaxy S III in the land of Uncle Sam.

Meanwhile, the Samsung also provide feedback when they are sure to confront the Apple lawsuit.
"Samsung believes it is inappropriate to demand Apple. We will fight the demand," Samsung said in a statement quoted by Reuters on Thursday (07/06/2012).

"We also want to assure consumers that the launch and sales of Galaxy S III in the United States will be processed in accordance with the plan," said Samsung.

Samsung and Apple are very often involved in a bitter patent dispute. They fought in a number of countries with their respective lawsuits.

Great potential of Mobile Augmented Reality

Today, the use of augmented reality technology on mobile devices (mobile phones and tablets) is still quite minimal.

In fact, this technology has great potential to enrich telecommunications to become more effective. Because the current mobile devices is one of the technologies that are closest to us.

Currently, almost all people have and actively use mobile devices. Augmented reality can create a unique means of communication and interakrif.

One of the works is a mobile augmented reality application Virtual City Guide have been developed by the AR & Co. in mid-2011. This application helps users to find and get information about a store or outlet through live tracking.

Live tracking purpose here is, by directing a cell phone camera to the store or stores that want to know the information, mobile augmented reality applications can directly provide information of objects that are designated on the site.

The use of mobile augmented reality application is using the internet (online) and do not use the internet (offline).

Excess applications using the internet (online) is likely to continually update existing data so that the flow of information received is more precise and faster. The disadvantage is the speed of internet connection.

Weaknesses of the application that uses the Internet (online) to the excess of the applications that do not use the internet (offline). Weaknesses of the applications do not use the internet (offline) is the first application must be downloaded and information submitted online is not as fast, because it does not directly update.

The difference with other applications such as GPS is, the application of Virtual City Guide uses direct access by the user (real time).

When the user directs the camera to the store / stand, as it also emerged a number of options accessible information about the store / stand it. The information can be obtained through this application can take the form of text, video, 3D animation, and games.

In addition to be accessible in real-time, another advantage of mobile augmented reality is a lighter application because the application size is much smaller than the application of augmented reality on a computer or laptop.

However, the use of mobile applications augmnented reality still depends on the processor device. Some mobile devices that can access mobile augmented reality applications is the iPhone, iPad 2, and Android.

On 15-16 June 2012 will be held ARTX 2012 (Augmented Reality and Technology Xperience) is the first augmented reality event in Asia. This event akan take place in Campus Anggrek, Universitas Bina Nusantara.

At this event there will be exhibitions and seminars that will demonstrate and explain in a direct example of mobile augmented reality.

Mobile augmented reality still has many areas of development, come and see the latest developments in augmented reality ARTX 2012.

Nano-sized SIM card will be 40 percent smaller than the micro SIM card that is 12.3 mm x 8.8 mm x 0.67 mm. "The design of the SIM card has the same function as the existing SIM card now," said ETSI.

However, as reported by Tech World Sunday (06.03.2012), ETSI does not provide more details about the process of voting on the award of the design of the SIM card.

Flame and the threat of global cyber war

Flame discovery of computer viruses, which spread undetected for many years in the Middle East, showing the world has entered a new era of global espionage and sabotage.

Analysts said the cyber world, Flame is a malicious software (malware) that can be adapted and disseminated to a variety of vital infrastructure throughout the country in the world.

Iranian officials, the state alleged to be the main target of Flame attack, said the virus had attacked the Iranian oil industry, mid-April. The attack was sparked by Iranian technicians cut off all internet connections in the oil ministry office, platforms, oil drilling platforms and oil terminal on the island of Khark.

Khark Island oil terminal is the gateway for the export of about 80 percent of Iran's total oil production by 2.2 million barrels per day.

"The virus is through the various sectors, one sector of the oil industry. Fortunately we were able to detect and control one of these incidents, "said Gholam Reza Jalali, Iran's military commander antisabotase unit on Wednesday (30/5).

According to Jalali, the oil industry is the only institution which the Government of Iran seriously affected Flame attack, and now all the missing data has been restored.

The virus was first discovered and named "Flame" by Kaspersky Lab. The Russian computer security company that the virus hunt down the last few months at the request of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the UN agency that regulates information and communication technology in the world.

Marco Obiso, ITU cyber security coordinator, said the new virus is very complex and sophisticated. The size of the virus to 20 megabytes, or about 20-30 times larger than ordinary file virus.

The series of attacks

Flame has the ability to spy on and steal most of the activity of the infected computer data. Start recording keystrokes of keys on the keyboard (keystrokes), record the display screen is opened, to activate the computer's internal microphone (such as a laptop or webcam plugged in) to eavesdrop on computer users.

In addition, the virus is also able to activate the Bluetooth connection to connect to a computer and cell phone all around the computer to steal data, such as personal contact list.

Founder of Kaspersky Lab, Eugene Kaspersky, said Flame is still strongly suspected in a series with Stuxnet virus attack and the first Duqu found.

Two years ago, Iran's nuclear enrichment facility Stuxnet virus attack. Virus screwed centrifuge equipment control systems so that spin out of control and finally broke down. As a result of the attack, Iran's nuclear program was stopped a few times.

"Stuxnet and Duqu is a series of attacks, which raises concerns over global cyber war. Flame seems further malware phase of this attack, and easy to understand that cyber weapons as it can be easily used to attack any country, "said Kaspersky.

In contrast with conventional weapons that require dedicated resources to make it, a computer virus could in principle be used and modified by anyone with a computer programming skills.

"What is scary, the state no longer hold a monopoly on these capabilities," said Tom Kellerman, a former commissioner of the board of cyber security for U.S. President Barack Obama.
