Uranus and Neptune to this point has never got much attention from researchers. However, some groups from the United States Space Agency (NASA) and universities started to make a concept of four missions that could be run by 2030. The concept of the proposed mission was discussing a vehicle that can surround the planet in a second for 10 to 15 years. In addition the mission had also been prepared to launch research rockets into the atmosphere. The main focus of each mission is to find out how the planets were formed and structured. The mission includes three orbiter missions and one mission that will explore Uranus. The research rocket will carry a narrow angle camera to capture the details of the interior, especially the giant Ice Moon. NASA will also drop the rockets or dive into the atmosphere of Uranus to measure gas levels and heavy elements. Meanwhile, three of the orbiter mission can be a mission of Neptune with a rocket that check Uranus's atmosphere, or a rocket ...

An emergency update is issued on Thursday by Adobe Systems Inc (ADBE.O) to its widely used Flash software for Internet browsers after researchers discovered a security flaw that was being exploited to deliver ransomware to Windows PCs. The software maker urged the more than 1 billion users of Flash on Windows, Mac, Chrome and Linux computers to update the product as quickly as possible after security researchers said the bug was being exploited in "drive-by" attacks that infect computers with ransomware when tainted websites are visited. Ransomware encrypts data, locking up computers, then demands payments that often range from $200 to $600 to unlock each infected PC. Japanese security software maker Trend Micro Inc (4704.T) said that it had warned Adobe that it had seen attackers exploiting the flaw to infect computers with a type of ransomware known as 'Cerber' as early as March 31. Cerber "has a 'voice' tactic that reads aloud the ra...

As the reverse of a decline in worldwide sales, Apple is expected to launch a smaller, cheaper iPhone on Monday aimed at emerging markets and possibly China, the world's biggest buyer of smartphones. The launch of such a phone - expected to be called the iPhone SE - would represent Apple's second bid for the crowded mid-tier market after an unsuccessful foray three years ago. It might give the world's best-known technology company a boost in the fast-growing Indian, Middle East and African markets, but also risks cutting its average phone prices and profit margins. "The iPhone SE provides a new incentive to upgrade for iPhone holdouts who don't want a large-screen phone," said analyst Bob O'Donnell of TECHnalysis Research. A less expensive iPhone could appeal to emerging markets customers, said O'Donnell, but is not a sure-fire hit, as it may still be pricier than competitors running Google's Android system, and many in emerging ...

9to5Mac claimed the the Apple's new smaller version of its iPad Pro will cost $599, and will be unveiled on Monday alongside a new smaller iPhone SE with a four inch screen. The new handset, to be called the iPhone SE will look 'almost exactly the same' as the iPhone 5s. It will also have a 12 megapixel camera and 4K video, the site claimed. The new handset, to be called the iPhone SE will look 'almost exactly the same' as the iPhone 5s pictured here, 9to5Mac claims. The March 21st event, to be held at its Cupertino HQ, is also expected to see new Apple Watch bands and colours, including possible tie ups with fashion brands.

'The $599 base configuration is for a WiFi-only model, while higher-priced versions with 128 GB of storage and the ability to connect to LTE cellular networks will also be offered.' The ne...

You might think Twitter reversed course on plans to increase the character limit on tweets when reading the press coverage of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s appearance on The Today Show, but it's still hard to happen. You may recall Re/code’s report in January that Twitter was looking at a “10,000 character limit for tweets.” That didn’t mean, however, that epic tweets might just pop up willy nilly in your timeline — instead, only 140 characters would appear as usual, but you’d have the option to click and expand to see more content. Dorsey responded by saying that the 140-character limit is “a beautiful constraint” and that Twitter “will never lose that feeling.” At the same time, he pointed out that users often share screenshots of text on Twitter, in part to get around the character limit, so he asked, “What if that text … was actually text? Text that could be searched. Text that could be highlighted.” pic.twitter.com/bc5RwqPcAX — Jack (@jack) 5 Januari 2016 Then, ...

The battle Apple and the FBI is heading to federal court on March 22nd, determining whether or not the government can force Apple to open up an otherwise deeply-encrypted iPhone used by terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook leading up to the San Bernardino shootings. The lead up to the hearing has been an unending game of back-and-forth between Apple and the government, and Apple has just lobbed the ball back to the other side of the court one last time prior to the hearing. Last week, the FBI had filed with the court, describing Apple’s court-borne resistance to complying with its unlock order as ‘corrosive rhetoric’. Apple responded immediately, characterizing the FBI’s filing as “an indictment”. Basically, both sides had gotten to the openly hostile portion of these proceedings. During a call last week about the filing, Apple executives, including general counsel Bruce Sewell, spoke in a way that can be best characterized as surprised and outraged. The FBI’s tone shift from legal ...

Reports have been circulating that Apple is planning to reveal a secondary handset with dual cameras, dubbed the iPhone Pro, beside the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, in September. The rumoured iPhone Pro will sport a dual-lens camera and a magnetic smart connector, first seen on the iPad Pro, leaked pictures claim. The dual lens system would involve one wide angle lens and one telephoto lens, capable of taking individual shots and merging them together into a single, composite image, according to a patent filed by Apple last June and granted this January. While pictures of what is purported to be the iPhone 7 depict a circular lens flush with the handset's aluminium body, a picture of what could be the iPhone Pro details a pill-shaped enclosure designed for two lenses.

The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter was launched from Kazakhstan to detect the atmospheric gases of Mars blasted off into space Monday morning. The mission is to seek evidence of methane and other atmospheric gases that could mean there's active biological life on Mars. The flight will take about seven months to reach the red planet. During the joint mission by the European and Russian space agencies, the probe will circle Mars and measure tiny amounts of gases, such as methane -- a natural gas that is produced in great quantities on Earth. Scientists say the gases may be the waste of microbial beings on Mars. #ExoMars - successful lift-off of #Proton -M. Some 80 German & international press keeping our experts busy at #ESOC pic.twitter.com/CchN6t2Wez — ESA Operations (@esaoperations) 14 Maret 2016 Other gases that will be measured include water vapour, nitrogen oxides, acetylene. The methane could signal there's life on the planet. "However, othe...

The Justice Department is discussing how to proceed with a criminal investigation in which investigators have been stymied by the encryption of the popular instant messaging service WhatsApp, The New York Times reports. The case is unfolding against the backdrop of the Justice Department’s public feud with Apple over the locked iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters. Details of the WhatsApp case are unclear, but officials told the Times that it was not a terrorism case. They said that a federal judge approved a wiretap, but that investigators have been unable to move forward. No decisions have been made about how to proceed. WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook, allows users to send messages and make phone calls over the Internet. The company has been adding encryption to its product over the last year, making it impossible for the Justice Department to eavesdrop on communications — even with a valid court order. The case differs slightly from the ongoing dispu...

“No single corporation”, the Obama administration said in an argumentation on Thursday, — even one as successful as Apple — should be allowed to flout the rule of law by refusing to help the F.B.I. unlock the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino, Calif., attackers. The Apple store at Grand Central Terminal in New York. ( Wang Lei/Xinhua, Getty Images)  The administration’s sharp tone in a new court filing drew an angry and emotional rebuke from lawyers for Apple, who accused the government of “a cheap shot” and were particularly upset about what they said was an unfair and inaccurate suggestion that the company has a special relationship with China to protect its corporate interests there. “The tone of the brief reads like an indictment,” Bruce Sewell, Apple’s general counsel, told reporters. “In 30 years of practice, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a legal brief that was more intended to smear the other side with false accusations ...

The case Apple against FBI over the unlocking of a terrorist’s iPhone will likely require Congress to create new legislation. That’s because there really aren’t any existing laws that govern these technologies. The battle is between security and privacy, with Silicon Valley fighting for privacy. The debates in Congress will be ugly, uninformed and emotional. Lawmakers won’t know which side to pick and will flip-flop between what lobbyists ask and the public’s fear du jour. And because there is no consensus on what is right or wrong, any decision they make today will likely be changed tomorrow. This is a prelude of things to come, not only with encryption technologies, but everything from artificial intelligence to drones, robotics and synthetic biology. Technology is moving faster than our ability to understand it, and there is no consensus on what is ethical. It isn’t just the lawmakers who are not well-informed; the originators of the technologies themselves don’...

Apple used to release one new model for a year, then two when Apple launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Well now in 2016 it is going to be four… Looking to consolidate his reputation as “the best Apple analyst on the planet”, KGI Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo is at it again. In a research note obtained by MacRumors Kuo has reaffirmed that Apple will indeed release three models of the iPhone 7 this year in addition to the imminent 4-inch ‘iPhone SE’. Consequently the three iPhone 7 models will be the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus and a new and even more premium model based around (already huge) Plus which some are dubbing the ‘iPhone 7 Pro’. What’s the difference between the Pro (I’ll go with the name for now) and the Plus? A groundbreaking camera. iPhone 7 concept. Image credit: Marek Weidlich In fact, I should say groundbreaking ‘cameras’ because Kuo says the iPhone 7 Pro will use a dual-lens camera system created by LinX, an imaging specialist Apple purc...

The argumentatiton between FBI and Apple is going simmer. The U.S. government calls it a “vicious guard dog” that hurts national security. Apple says it’s critical to protecting consumer privacy against increasingly sophisticated hackers. FBI Director James Comey is sworn in on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, March 1, 2016, prior to testifying before the House Judiciary Committee hearing on ‘The Encryption Tightrope: Balancing Americans’ Security and Privacy.’ ( AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana) (Associated Press) As the debate over built-in iPhone encryption has deadlocked in the courts, law enforcement and the world’s second-largest cellphone maker agreed on one point Tuesday: It’s now up to Congress to set boundaries in a long-simmering fight over who can legally access your digital life. “We’re asking Apple to take the vicious guard dog away and let us pick the lock,” FBI Director James Comey told a House judiciary panel Tuesday, referring to a locked iPhone tied to ...

More bad news for BlackBerry: WhatsApp will be no longer found in BlackBerry by the end the year. It has decided to end support for BlackBerry devices. In a blog post, WhatsApp celebrated its seventh birthday and did a little early spring cleaning at the same time. In addition to announcing that it will end support for BlackBerry devices (all of them, including BlackBerry 10) the company also announced Nokia S40, Nokia Symbian S60, Android 2.1 and 2.2, and Windows Phone 7.1 will also get the axe.
