The protest action is consequential to the classroom Ira Rothken, attorney Dotcom.

The founder of Megaupload, in fact, had taken out several hard drives, then shipped in the U.S. without authorization by the court why the New Zealand authorities Stars and Stripes have been accused of wanting to avoid stalling Dotcom and its other partners unable to defend themselves.

However, it is a request for estradazione, the vertices of Megaupload would not have the opportunity to enjoy a right to inspect the material in question.

Ira Rothken said it was still more than satisfied with the decision taken by the court especially because, thus, was given a demonstration of how the New Zealand courts are actually intenzizonati to intervene to protect those who are the rights of its residents from possible intrusions from from abroad.

The good news for Dotcom, however, does not end there.

Facebook, a fatal error on the stock market! here are some information

Other than boom: the long-awaited listing of Facebook has revealed, for now, a real flop. The title, launched May 18 on Wall Street at the initial price of $ 38, just passed the threshold of $ 42 before beginning to fall, returning in the first session to baseline. The real collapse, however, was recorded yesterday, when the company Zuckerberg has lost in one day 's 11% of its market value. That is, $ 10 billion on more than 100 billion in capital to start. The closing price of May 21 was just over $ 34 per share.

What went wrong? Probably the flop depends on a collaboration by several factors. Analysts, at this point, suspect that the starting price was probably overestimated. The company had initially set a range of 28-35 U.S. dollars per share at the IPO, and then make the necessary adjustments upward in the days immediately preceding. In this case the liability of the collapse of yesterday could not be attributed to an error of assessment of Zuckerberg and Co., but the mixed messages emanating from the U.S. financial giant Morgan Stanley.

 The bank has handled the initial public offering on behalf of Facebook, and according to sources familiar with the operation, may have exerted a dominant influence in the process of pricing actions, but did not fully justify the increase from 28-35 to 34-38 U.S. dollars U.S. dollars final. Too bad that a few days prior to listing, an analyst at Morgan Stanley itself has reduced its estimates on the performance of Facebook, revising downwards its projections of revenues 2012. The expert, Scott Devitt, would respond well to the SEC, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which had raised doubts about the viability of advertising on the segment of smartphones and mobile devices. The conflicting message from Morgan Stanley would throw into a panic several investors, contributing to the disappointing performance of the company Zuckerberg in the past days.

Facebook on the fate of the stock market, for now, it is better to suspend judgment: an accurate assessment can only be long term, especially when it comes to the second largest IPO in the history of Wall Street. Even Amazon, the day of its listing in 1997, has fallen far below the IPO price, and if you look today, the stock gained more than a thousand percent of its value. What is certain is that no two sessions are enough stock to jump to conclusions, nor to fear a new bubble of the new e-conomy.

Just as Facebook was losing 11%, in fact, the Nasdaq (the index of high-tech companies listed on Wall Street) gained about 2.5%. Positive performance for Google (+2.2% in the day, +17% in one year), Yahoo! (+4.7% in the last two sessions, -4% in 12 months) Amazon (+2.3%, +10% a year) and Apple (+8.3% in the session, only the beginning of the year +57%).

And here are some other numers about Facebook:

• $ 104 billion: the valuation of Facebook at the time of listing on Nasdaq
• 421.2 million: the number of shares offered for sale on the day of the debut of Facebook
• $ 38: a stock price on the day of placement in the stock market
•  $ 24 billion: the heritage Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, has put in the hands of shareholders
• $ 1: salary, obviously symbolic, that Mark Zuckerberg has decided to be attributed from 2012
• 901 million: the number of active users of Facebook according to the latest data collected in April 2012
• 488 million: the number of users that use Facebook through a mobile device
•  $ 1 billion: the amount of profits made by Facebook in 2011
•  $ 5.11: total revenue that Facebook has obtained from each individual user in 2011
•  3027: the number of days that have passed from the time when Zuckerberg launched Facebook (February 4, 2004) and the placement of it on the stock market (May 18, 2012)

Galaxy S III the anti Iphone

The show, to be there, there was. The Earls Court Exhibition Centre, historical exhibition of the British capital, it is huge, and the Samsung has filled all the partners and journalists. The struggle in the smartphone sector, on the other hand is ruthless and the new Galaxy will have a huge weight on his shoulders. That the challenge to Apple. So drum roll - or rather, violin strings of the London Metropolitan Orchestra - and there it is: the Galaxy S III. 'On the true nature of this phone, there have been many rumors and speculations,' said the first thing going on stage giant Concertone JK Shin, president and head of mobile communications. 'Some will prove to be correct, others not. Certainly this is the best smartphone in its class'.
That is the Google Android platform. We start from the specification. A 4.8-inch full HD display - 12.2 inches - based on super AMOLED technology. That means 22% larger than its predecessor. Then a 8 megapixel camera. The whole compressed into 8.6 mm thick for 133 grams of weight. But beyond the mere numbers are the features that make the difference. Samsung, in his presentation, he repeatedly insisted on the concept of a 'design for men, but thought suggested by nature'. 'Today - a spokesman said - we are surrounded by technology' smart 'telephones, televisions, even washing machines. We believe we should go further. This is a product that anticipates our desires'.
Then there is the function that allows you to activate the phone only with your eyes. Or rather, is the phone that knows when we want the screen on or off. Then there is S Voice. That voice control - much like Apple's Siri. The difference, for us Italians, is that his last son, Samsung has also taught the language of Dante. Obviously the Galaxy S III is ferratissimo on social networking and sharing. With a few taps you can send photos taken in the company - the software recognizes faces and automatically matches them to the book - and thanks to 'share' if they approach two Galaxy contents can be exchanged via Wi-Fi. That, among other things, goes faster with Wi-Fi channel bonding. The colors available are white, and blue and the cuts start at 16 GB to get to the top range of 64. The distribution of the May 29th from Europe and then spread around the world. 'Move clever,' said Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi. 'It is here that when the competitors are weaker'.

TorrApk, alternative site to download Android app

Instead of IOS, which is designed to work only on very few devices, all of the same company, Apple, Android operating system is a versatile and flexible that we can find a wide range of smartphones and tablets. Not only high-end devices like the Samsung S3 Galaxy or the Galaxy Tab, but also a number of devices less expensive but may have limitations.

Among these is the inability to install some apps on Google Play, because the phone can not support them. This is often true, because of hardware limitations that have the cheapest smartphone, but other times not. There are many applications that would work well on low-end devices but Google does not allow you to download for commercial reasons. Hence, our friend Joseph Anzalone took the idea to create TorrApk.

TorrApk alternative service to Google is a play through which you can download the free Android application apk files without going to the arbitrary judgment of the store of "big G". A quick and easy way for those who do not own a high end smartphone to download the app which is normally denied access.

The site hosts only free apps (because the work of developers is always supported) and allows the exchange of packets between users apk. All of these apps have been downloaded from Google TorrApk Play by the staff of the site and are offered to users without the slightest change.

At the time, TorrApk houses over 1,300 applications in categories. The site is very light and graphically clean, will soon open its doors to independent developers who are looking for a way to spread their work alternative to Google Play. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Windows 8, the Beta Preview Release has been finalized

Less than two weeks after its official launch, Microsoft has finalized the development of Windows 8 Preview Release. Announcing the news has been the website WinUnleaked that in recent months has proved increasingly well informed about the strategies of the software giant, according to which the Release Candidate of Windows 8 will have the build number 8400 and will be available in various editions.

In addition to the standard, Microsoft could release Windows 8 Preview Release also editions in Pro, Pro and Enterprise with Windows Media Center but lacking official confirmation for the time to support this thesis. While those who never fail are the screenshots: above you see one that would portray the Start Screen of the next public release of Windows 8.

Is it true? We have no reason to doubt not, in any case we will know everything in a few days. For those who do not if it were still pinned on the calendar, the Release Candidate of Windows 8 will be published in the first week of June. We do not know the exact day, but you can bet that soon even that will emerge from the corridors Microsoft.

We also hope soon to know the technical details of the system. For example, there will be the new minimalist interface for the desktop environment or there will still be "disowned" transparency of Aero to lord it in Windows 8 RP? Planned enhancements to check for errors on your hard drive will be available to all? Who knows.

And while we ask ourselves about these details probably irrelevant to someone, Ballmer and Co. might be already working on the final version of Windows 8, what is supposed to debut in stores in October. WinUnleaked says it is already at compile time and that its build number is 8411. Also in this case, we'll see.

Windows 8, goodbye to the transparency of Aero

Microsoft has decided to bring the Metro minimalist interface also on the desktops of Windows 8. It was the same group of Redmond to unveil last blog post on Windows Building 8, which is also included in the screenshot you see above shows the new look and feature as the operating system.

As clearly shown in the first glance, the Aero interface transparencies and shadows have been eliminated in favor of a UI much more essential that the intent of the developers should focus your attention to the contents of the windows. A big step forward in terms of usability, but it sure will not miss the controversy.

The new interface of Windows 8 seems far too basic. Someone has called into question even the old Windows 3.1 and then the discourse of minimalism according to many clashes with the introduction of the style Ribbon in Explorer toolbar that makes very large and full of buttons. What do you think?

Waiting for your answers, we remind you that the RC of Windows 8, Windows 8 Preview Release will be made ​​available during the first week of June. It is unclear whether the new visual style will be active as early as this build or if Microsoft will launch the final version of the system. The Redmond company has declared that some of the changes made ​​to the internal versions of the OS will be included only in the RTM.

Moreover, it remains to be seen whether this style Aero Lite will be easy to disable or if we really say goodbye to the transparency that made ​​it so pleasant to view the desktop of Windows 7 and Vista. We hope to know more as soon as possible.
