Revo series separated from the navigation display
·
Becker's new navigation system that revolutionized record-breaking 7 millimeters thin, is on the clever construction: The alleged Navi only fit the display. The GPS receiver and the software has moved the United navigation daughter in his revo-series into an adapter between the display and Navigation mount. The one hand provides for a thinner display before turning onto necessities reduced design: interfaces on the edge need not revo. On the other hand, the actual navigation, keeping them constantly in the car and can look even before the start of the journey to a GPS signal or traffic reports Download - at least when you mount and charger in the car leaves.
Becker calls "ProActive starter": The navigation system learns over time, usually when the user moves while. After a few weeks the Navi then know how typical trips, commuting to work or the closing time at the sports club program and the user without asking the right route to propose - a bit like in the mobile operating system Android Jelly Bean wizard built Google Now. Because the actual Navi remains with the holder in the car, it may this have to do before departure: If you drive every day at 8 clock to work, the navigation device a few minutes previously a GPS fix, calculates the route to work and gets the one relevant traffic information. So ought waiting longer in the position to remedy the when the car was not used for a longer time, be passé. If it works not with the automatic as well, can also manually set the preliminary search on weekdays-and time-dependent.
For desired functions, the remaining electronics in the car every now and wake up to check for new information. The power consumption will be minimal while. Thus the navigation at constant cables attached to the power port, the starter battery unnecessarily discharged, the charging circuit on the voltage at the socket tell if the ignition is off - and charges the battery out then Navi. Interfaces such as a connection for reversing cameras and Bluetooth module to connect to smartphones stuck in the adapter.
Another remarkable innovation is the capacitive multi-touch 5-inch display - most navigation devices use pressure-sensitive display. Above it was the unit in an initial attempt at the IFA in Berlin serve well when it when zooming in the map rather jerky.
Becker has also revised its navigation interface somewhat and added some additional functions such as dynamic lane guidance, which while driving in some places superimposes a 3D animation of the road layout with lanes. Including free map updates (up to three per year) must be activated for the lifetime of the unit, which observe to within the first 30 days after the start of the Becker-PC software.
The revo-series is for the Christmas season come on the market and is located priced in the premium segment: the version with European maps for car navigation (revo.1) is expected to cost about 350 euros, the version with additional information for campers and trucks (revo .2) Euro about 400.
Hacker scene trojanisiert remote administration tool
·
Manufacturer World Wired Labs praises NetWire as advanced remote support software. The server runs on Windows, various Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Solaris, the client only on Windows PCs. The basic version costs $ 65, the extensible with add-on Pro version $ 105; gibts the price for the advanced version on request.
So far, so simple. But already the line "Undetected" pricing table indicates that there is more in progress: The manufacturer promises that the Windows version of Advanced NetWire by any virus scanner is detected. And already we are in a gray area.
World Wired Labs describes NetWire as a reliable tool for remote maintenance of a corporate infrastructure, the operating system sees no boundaries. The connection between client and server is protected by AES encryption, and is limited to a single TCP port. On the other hand, the manufacturer advertises for NetWire "special remote access requirements" - from monitoring to control the next generation.
In a hacker forum, the program is presented very differently. As is pointed out that NetWire via reverse proxy by any firewall and each router through that, it reads the password for any browser and the keylogger is running without administrator rights. Extensions for spying on TrueCrypt passwords and log instant messaging conversations are under way. From this point of view, the remote administration tool for quickly mutated Trojans Toolkit.
The manufacturer, it is not right that the product migrates into the dark corners of the Internet. Every time you create a remote maintenance hosts NetWire displayed first a disclaimer. With one click, the user must confirm that he NetWire not used for unauthorized access to other computers or other illegal activities.
The hacker, who has been touted in NetWire Forums multi-platform Trojans, Wired World Labs has quickly thrown out of the affiliate program. This prevents others from applying, in particular non-public hacker forums "Crypter" offer, the NetWire-compiled files should hide from antivirus programs.
Since it is hardly surprising that the remote service program is now fallen into the crosshairs of the anti-virus vendors. Dr. Web NetWire designated as password thief, running it as "BackDoor.Wirenet.1". Other manufacturers call the software "TrojanSpy", "NetWired" and "NetWeird" (sic). VirusTotal According the Windows version of the standard model is currently recognized by NetWire of 16 scanners, the Linux version of 6, the Solaris version of 4 and the Mac version of 9 scan engines. Bizarrely, the Windows client will be detected more frequently than the hosts: Here struck 26 of 42 scanners Alarm - The modular system is thus seen as malicious as the compilations.
New Android UI for Huawei smartphones
In principle, this is a pre-installed with emotion UI launcher with its own interface, widgets and a theme manager. Heart of the home screen, the "Me Widget" that information from different services such as weather, contacts or photos is united. It had been based very much on the user experience and wants to help you get started and use of smartphones, for example, integrated tutorials, and a better user interface.
Huawei has screwed around visually in many places, changing color schemes, custom widgets developed and installed a little more adjustment. Predefined environment profiles (silent, in the vehicle, normal, etc.) to access the Quick Launch bar: you regulate, among others, the activated radio communications, brightness and volume. Next bring the emotion UI with its own voice control, which must however be adapted for the European market yet.
As with the popular Android Launchers GO Launcher EX and ADW Launcher, there is a theme manager that replaces the complete look by clicking: Themes in different colors and styles are pre-installed, including an ICS optics scale design. More should be downloaded at Huawei may have in store for China, according to Huawei currently 26 available.
Huawei rolls out the new surface only tentatively, we wanted to wait for the feedback from its users, it said. What devices are after the beta for the Ascend P1 also changed to the UI, and whether there would be a download for older devices did not Huawei. You keep yourself open, adjust the UI at a later date for its tablet.
