Is stationary and modular laptop PC make sense? ASUS claims that so – Polygamia.pl

Computex is held every year in Taipei exhibition, which presents technological innovations from all over the world. It is the largest event of its kind in Asia and the second, after Cebicie, in the world. From 31 May to 4 June more than 1,600 exhibitors will present their solutions and themes, will be Internet stuff, innovations, business solutions and gaming.



Computex 2016
funkykit.com

While all elements are very interesting, we will focus on what the readers and editors of Polygamii most interested in, or just for gaming. These types of events are to each other, they attract a whole bunch of exhibitors offering various, sometimes strange solutions. So instead disintegrate producers glowing pads mouse with a USB hub, we will concentrate on the major ones, namely on the ASUS-ie.

At yesterday’s conference, preceding the proper event the company introduced eight new products from the Republic of Gamers , which is the department responsible for the equipment to play. It is also worth noting that it has been ten years since the Republic is on the market.



I am very proud of the achievements of the Republic of Players during their first 10 years of existence, and today’s launch and announcement shows that our commitment to deliver extreme performance for gamers unabated. I guarantee that the second decade ROG will be just as spectacular.

He said the conference Jonney Shih, chairman of ASUS. Among the illustrated device will find a new version of the board Rampage V, 180-hercowy monitor Swift PG248Q, whose frequency can further tweak, headphones 7.1 Centurion cooled steam and equipped with two GTX-y 1080 desktop G31, a docking station for connecting an external graphics card for laptops and two interesting facts, one of which does not make much sense out of pure marketing.

ASUS ROG G31

First let it be just that little sense, or laptop for gamers GX800. It is the successor to the GX700, also cooled with liquid on board which we find two graphics chips Nvidia and running at 4,4GHz Intel processor series K. For this, it features a mechanical keyboard, able to change the color of the backlight.

everything is good, but for whom it is the product? ASUS advertises it as gamingowy most powerful laptop on the market and a little of that – it has to enable hassle-free overclocking thanks to the docking station with additional cooling. It can therefore safely assume that this is the offer for hardcore gamers. But if you prefer not to make the same computer? At another, can easily customizując housing?

Not to mention the issue of playing on a laptop, because it misses the target. This type of device to be small, lightweight, and long battery life. Meanwhile, we get a mare that would fully show what he could do need additional equipment, which makes the GX800 desktop computer. Anyway, to comfortably play even FPS-y and so you need to connect additional peripherals to your laptop. At the end there is still the issue price, which will probably be staggering.

Why this arrangement bother producing this type of equipment? The answer is simple: Because we can. Creating GX800 ASUS showed that we can do not only powerful gaming laptop, but also one that is more powerful than most currently available in the desktop market. And that hardly anyone buy it? So what, it’s important that people talk.

Another interesting option is to Avalon – integrated with housing motherboard allows easy expansion or modification of a computer on the basis of interchangeable modules. A similar solution was presented in 2014 Razer Project Christine died but because component manufacturers have not expressed interest in making him the modules. Probably the same fate awaits Revo from Acer, which is based on the same concept.



z15237990O, Prototype-modular-PC-of----  Razer Project-Christin
Project Christine from Razer

the difference between the ideas of competition, and the Avalon is that ASUS is also a manufacturer of components, so that is not dependent on other performers and can guarantee a constant supply of modules throughout the product life cycle.

there is only one problem – the motherboard is based on chipset Z170, which in itself is not bad and quietly serve a couple of years, but when it comes time to exchange the component will be forced to buy a new box, and the manufacturer may try to be clever, and the way to change also joints in all the modules, which will force us to replace all.

Then there’s another issue. I do not know about you, but I like to poke into your computer, and how to submit the new is doing fine in the housing takes me more time than installing individual components. There is something incredibly engaging in laying coupleth and all cables and components, so that the whole looked neat.

Does modular PCs are the future of the industry? Probably not. One issue is just guarantee delivery of additional modules, the second is the fact that when the aging of the whole motherboard is suitable for the trash, because this does not replace. In the end, this is what I wrote above paragraph. It seems to me that the players prefer to do everything yourself from beginning to end, and the other, and so are not interested in burying your computer, just mention it, when it comes to this time.

Avalon – an idea even interesting, but whether you accept? mat. prom.

This could however see the consoles. The buy to have a relative calm on the whole, lasts a long time generation. Meanwhile, the PS4 NEO seems increasingly likely, and also circulate rumors of Scorpio, which is a stronger version of the Xbox One planned for 2017 years. As pecetowiec I do not mind speeding up the whole process, but I also understand sentient person is injured. If the console was based on easily replaceable modules, the problem would not be.

At the end of another, very cool design. Watching the following presentation I got the impression that the guests of Skynet in a very similar manner showed humanity your product …

Who rejected Nawałka? We are viewing their body – Express Bydgoski

Adam Nawałka gave 23-man squad for the upcoming Euro 2016. They found in it Przemyslaw Tobacco Paul Dawidowicz, Maciej Rybus, Paul Wszołek and Artur Sobiech.

Here is a brief summary of the performances of the campaign, those players.
Przemyslaw Tobacco. VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper had the slightest chance of a trip to the Euro, the three Szczęsny – Boruc – Fabianski seemed not to move it, so that it is the tobacco had to leave the training camp. In Stuttgart in 33 matches in this competition gave way to beat 64 times, also he was shown a red card. Still, it left only five games of his team, which this season has fallen from the Bundesliga.

With the eagle on his chest he played 14 matches, with no qualifying for the European Championship. Polish fans will remember it forever thanks to the memorable defense of the penalty in the opening match of Euro 2012 at the National Stadium in Warsaw. Last time on the pitch as a representative of Polish appeared in the match with Finland. Goodbye just the Stuttgart goalkeeper was very likely, hardly anyone surprised by this movement coach, despite the fact that tobacco presented decently, it just rivals by him better.

Paul Dawidowicz. Football reserves Benfica at the last moment caught up to the national team, but do not select the team to France. He made a total of 37 matches in the second division Portuguese scored two goals. The Polish national team has played once got a player four minutes at the end of a social gathering with the Czech Republic. Farewell to the representation of just Davidovich is perhaps not a great surprise, as among the defenders there was huge competition, standing at a high level. This time the young player of Benfica and lost it during the European Championship will not appear on the pitch.

Artur Sobiech. At the end of the season caught good form, but apparently it was not enough to convince the Adam Nawałka. Striker relegated, team Hannover 96 in 27 appearances this season, he scored a decent 8 goals, scoring two goals, inter alia, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and one in the last round. He left nine meetings. In the scene in 13 games and scored two goals, the last Liechtenstein two years ago. In qualifying for the upcoming Euro 2016 did not show up on the ball, getting in matches against Iceland and the Czech Republic only a total of eight minutes. It seems that Mariusz Stępiński this season presented better in terms of regularity, you run out of a former football player Polonia Warszawa and Ruch Chorzow.



***

Maciej Rybus. Terek Grozny player confirmed his injury today via Twitter, declaring clearly that you can not go to France, to that his absence does not need more explanation. In his club this season, he presented well, in 31 matches classifying eight goals and four times assisting. Shone among others, thanks to twice defeat the keeper Zenit St. Petersburg. With the eagle on his chest the ball appeared 41 times, twice hitting the net rival and classifying nine assists. He played in eight qualifiers for the European Championships. The last time the country was represented in the meeting with Serbia, spending the ball full 90 minutes. Injury popular Fish is a serious problem for the coach, who probably would have bet on Arthur Jędrzejczyk. May the injury did not prevent him in the transfer, which is afoot.

Paul Wszołek. The injured midfielder Hellasu Verona knew for a long time, there were no surprises in the strike it from the list kadrowiczów tournament. The former midfielder Polonia Warsaw in the current season of the ball appeared 31 times without winning goal, but scored a decent 6 assists. Four of those matches played in the colors of Sampdoria, which was then loaned out to Verona. He left eleven queues league. In eight matches in the colors of the Polish national team he scored two goals and scored two assists. Two hit took place in a recent friendly game against Finland, which presented itself with a pretty good hand, could provide an alternative to Slawomir Peszki. Great luck Wszołka, had a good chance to go to France.

The three smartphones that can captivate the ratio of price to quality. Here Asus ZenFone 3 – Spider’s Web

For Overwatch messed weekend out with friends, I was late for an important meeting, and then I remembered what it means to unhealthy marathon in front of the console. Production of Blizzard addictive as the purest drug! Terrible disease one more skirmish and another match immediately captivated my immune system. I have only one, but essential BUT …

Mór issue with Overwatch is that it is still half the crude product. This is not the full game! This is not the final production, which should appear on store shelves! Spending 300 gold on the console digital editing (the cheapest option), the client has the right to count on a complete title, rich in possibilities and, above all – having a clear purpose. All this in Overwatch just ran out.

Overwatch 3

writing game reviews, first of all try to watch your wallets.

Putting readers Spider’s Web in the first place, I feel the duty to warn. Overwatch damn addictive production, but very incomplete game. in the title of Blizzard’s lack of basic modes and purpose. Sure, the brand manufacturer ensures that all of this will be in the future, and the game will be famously supported extensions and updates. that’s all, however, the future, and we are referring to here and now. the product, which today can be purchased at an electronics store, for real money.

What not to write about competitive Battlebornie, its creators managed to give the game meaning and purpose. the title has a campaign narrative. for this focuses on the development of champions, which unlocks not only cosmetic skin, but also additional skills and modifiers to activate during the battle on the network arena. All this I ran out of the Overwatch.

Overwatch 90

at the time of this writing, the game Blizzard allows you to quickly match online training with AI and match with weekly changing modifiers. that’s it! All the characters are unlocked. All skills gained. what is lacking seasons, missing some leagues. Although we can advance from level to level (my current is 22), are not associated with this no benefits. no, not counting skins, sprays and emotes that draw lots of allocated each level packages. purely cosmetic.

on the one hand, this allows immediate jumping into the game the same rights as other players. on the other, spending long hours in front of screen does not reward us in any concrete way. there is no development weapons or skills. Do not feel any prestige. Win, lose, level 25 or level 45 – it has absolutely no meaning. The game does not have embodied purpose beyond noncommittal logging in to servers and is played a few matches.

Overwatch 55

it is a pity. Blizzard has created a really interesting, colorful, distinctive characters that are just begging for a campaign narrative. even at this in a competitive Battlebornie. I realize that the developers have promised to introduce leagues, but the update to appear no sooner than a month. that’s all we should get on release.

Focusing however on the same mechanics – God, how this Overwatch is unique and addictive!

like other network shootings, Overwatch places opposite each other two teams, the ongoing battle on a closed arena. Oh, the classic of the genre – sometimes you need to get and keep a point, and at other times then escort precious cargo. Nothing we have not seen in hundreds, of if not thousands of other games.

the fun starts when we select their champion. Here shooting draws on the iconic role-playing games. The Overwatch there is a division of functions far beyond the typical class medic, sniper or technique present, for example in Battlefieldzie. More like a team of Baldur’s Gate, where we have a warrior, rogue, priest, mage, druid and barbarian.

Overwatch 32

in the Overwatch each character has a clearly defined objective. the objective, which is the core of the game. while this Battlefieldzie medic primarily fights, and only then reanimates so Overwatch puts enormous emphasis on the performance of their class assignments. the doctor who shoots first and then heals, is Blizzard worth next to nothing.

Understanding roles in Overwatch only key to victory. the game was balanced so clever so that each of the 21 unique characters is excellent in the performance of his work, but awful in every other. the so-called tank is to focus the attention and enemy fire. character support must circulate among the allies and influence their statistics. Players defensive almost unsuitable for the attack.

Overwatch 88

Art select the players is a key issue in the Overwatch. Or understand your place, or you’re out of the game.

Solid, but readable introduction of stringent rules allows players to treat unique experience. I must admit that so well played with a network shooting since the launch of the third Battlefield and Splatoona on Wii U. Overwatch is equally shooter, this interactive chess game in which the team must be flexible and real-time put forward counter-proposals for each opponents play.

Overwatch successful wherever fails Evolve or Battleborn. Cooperative gameplay network with a view FPP has never, absolutely never been so addictive. One match after another, time flew, and I was delighted with new characters and their special skills, dialogue lines and their role in the team.

Overwatch 39

Overwatch surprises with every match. I still learn something new. I still get to know new techniques and champions initially considered weak and useless starting to be fiendishly curious and extremely helpful. I am a giant impressed as deep as multi-threaded, multi-layered and complex the mechanics that gave us a tray Blizzard. Proper appreciation of this system will last for weeks!

I can also marveled over how rich and colorful universe preparing us to manufacture.

Each character is unique. it has its character, its style, its agenda and its philosophy. What an amazing, once feel it during the game. the degree of solicitude with which the producers have applied to the champions is comparable with that as complex and refined are the character classes in Diablo. Tale!

What’s unique Overwatch is one of the few games that I wanted to play in Polish, not English. The team responsible for the native language has done an excellent job. They do not just translate the game, but to understand the uniqueness of each of the playable heroes. Issues spoken in our language are just as good, if not better than the originals. A bit like the fairy tales and Disney Piksara – global level sets the standards, but we do it even better.

Overwatch 79

Despite my admiration, you have to remember that Overwatch is not a game for everyone. Humility, rip, understanding their role and their place – all the tough demands posed by players blizzard. but when you understand what the game, immediately soak into this production. You will be her addicted, and “fast meczyk before work” and the “last start before going to sleep,” will enter your bloodstream, it pockets the 10 level of experience.

Benefits

  • Amazing mechanics and the perfect balance of gameplay
  • Great, the key to victory in the division of roles
  • Each of the 21 characters are small work of art
  • the colorful, lively, colorful binding
  • the graphics are simple, but that does not bother
  • Excellent Polish language version. Maybe even better than the English
  • The speed of connecting teams and selection of players
  • great looking skin, which is more than a reversal of colors
  • The promise of a reliable and long-term support for Blizzard

Cons

  • In this game simply lacks the express purpose!
  • Prizes are not proportional to the made progress and time spent in front of TV
  • Where are my league? Where’s my single player campaign?
  • Little, very little content on start
  • Extreme impoverishment of game modes
  • Blizzard has a very interesting universe, but insufficient use them narratively
  • Management team on consoles would be much better

It’s amazing that Blizzard created the first title of the FPS in its history, and already sets the trends in terms of gameplay, balance and care detail. Since we have an excellent mechanics, remains build her a great game. This is still my Overwatchu missing.

On Monday night, Mars will be closest to Earth – Virtual Poland


 
  On Monday evening (May 30), Mars will be the closest planet more than a decade. Astronomers are encouraged to look to the Red Planet, which in the coming weeks will be clearly visible in the evening sky practically all night.

 
 
 The smallest distance between the planets will be 75 279 709 km. It is the closest for more than ten years, but not a record. After a little over two years will be called. great opposition of Mars and then the smallest distance will be about 57 million kilometers away.

 
 
 Orbital period of the Earth around the sun lasts one year. On the other hand, Mars needs to go round its orbit of 687 days. This means that at a little over two years, our planet is catching up with Mars and the two bodies are almost in one line, on the same side of its orbit relative to the sun.

 
 
 In this period there are good conditions for observing Mars – it is the brightest lights and most of the night. For lovers of amateur astronomy with telescopes it is also an opportunity for easier to spot various structures on the surface of the planet, for example. Polar caps. When Mars is near, it shields the planet seen through a telescope is also greater. Currently, it has a diameter of 18.6 seconds arc.

 
 
 In the coming days, Mars will be visible in the evening quite low on the southern horizon as glowing red-orange glow bright object. By the way wypatrywania Mars can also see two other planets. A little to his left (east) a little less shining Saturn. On the other hand, on the opposite side of the sky, on the west, above the horizon than Mars, the planet Jupiter shines brightly.

 
 
 In identifying Mars may help also the following tip: below Mars and Saturn can be seen fairly bright star Antares (but weaker than Mars and Saturn), which also has a glow in a color similar to Mars. Together Mars, Saturn and Antares form the vertices of the triangle.

 
 
 For many years, Mars is a goal of intense research by scientists. Currently we are circling around him or rides on the surface of several automated probes, in particular the European probe Mars Express orbital, the US probe Mars Odyssey, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MAVEN, American rovers Curiosity and Opportunity, as well as the Indian Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan). On the way to the planet is in turn orbital probe Trace Gas Orbiter and lander Schiaparelli (mission Euro-Russian).

Mars Reconnaissance. Is the red planet hides a life? – Policy

No wonder. Posted in the direction of Mars in 2005, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (Mars orbit is 10 years) is the most advanced spacecraft ever was sent to the Red Planet, which is to gather information about her more than all previous missions combined. MRO is so packed with sensors, detectors, cameras and all kinds of analyzers that can virtually explore all. Main objective: to investigate the climate history of Mars, look for traces of water and choose the best places for future manned missions.

I MRO reveals. The last days of a rash of recent information about Mars. Let’s choose the most interesting ones.

Special subsurface radar MRO examined thoroughly the biggest and the northern polar ice cap. It has been found in the belt of 100 to 300 meters inside the cap, a clear, apparently fairly quickly resulting accumulation of ice water. Scientists believe that it is evidence of the existence of ice ages on Mars, similar to those that existed on Earth. Accumulation was created just before the end of the last ice age on Mars, roughly 370,000 years ago. Genesis Martian ice ages is very similar to Earth.

On the other hand, another group of researchers observed on the northern plateaux of the planet traces of giant tsunami waves that arose after hitting the ocean substantial Mars meteorites. The first hit 3.4 billion years ago. Founded wave engraved in the land Martian powerful mark on the length of 150 km, then stepped back. The second meteorite struck far and a few million years later. He carved a similar mark, but not retreated because froze. It was a period of rapid cooling to Mars. This is another proof that Mars had the ocean, where it was heavily salted water.

A third discovery made by researchers from NASA and the SETI Institute is another confirmation of the existence of liquid water ocean. If Mars was water under its surface (although the ocean is gone) must be many hydrocarbons and clay, rich in calcium and iron. And indeed, traces of such deposits had discovered in many places on Mars, among others, in the pool or in the crater Huygens Lucaya.

This discovery indicates that Mars once was much wetter than it is today. And warmer.

Pirates minority in Poland – Antyradio

The difference is not large – during the examination conducted by the BSA found that the relevant license does not have a 48% used in our country software. Compared to the results from the previous edition of the report, this means a decrease of 3 percentage points.

A study on illegal software are executed by BSA every 2-3 years. Through archival particular, we know that in 2007 in Poland was 57% “pirates”, in 2011, this percentage dropped to 53%, in 2013 was the 51%.

The organization, which represents software developers and their behalf combats piracy calculated that in 2015 the value of illegally used Poland application was 447 million dollars. in comparison to 2013 is lower than the sum of 89 million dollars. BSA did not disclose whether the amount of the increased revenues the software industry.

Poland stands still heavily from European standards – the average in the EU countries use the 29% illegal software. Infamous leader when it comes to piracy, the Asia-Pacific region, where no license is 61% application. At the other extreme were the United States with 10% of illegal software users.

IDC was tempted by an indication of the reasons why the Poles are increasingly willing to pay for the programs you use. These include, among other things constant, low prices of personal computers, a relatively long lifetime of the equipment purchased, and less interest in fixed składakami – branded notebooks are delivered with pre-installed operating system.

BSA in turn leaves no doubt – decrease piracy is not the result of good will among buyers software. Bartlomiej Witucki, a representative of BSA | The Software Alliance in Poland believes that the lower prevalence of illegal software is a weave of 3 factors.



First, it is important increase the effectiveness of legal action conducted under the Anti-Piracy BSA in Poland, as evidenced by the numerous settlement serious amount, including one of the companies in the amount of one million dollars. it is also important that the appointment and operation of each command provincial and at at Police Headquarters, departments to combat cybercrime. the third element is the observed increase in the level of management software, although I must admit that Polish companies, which are ready to meet the requirements of ISO / IEC 1977-1 is not much.

it is worth noting that according to the plans prosecutor national experts in cybercrime to appear also in each prosecutor’s office. Among their tasks will probably prosecute users and sellers of illegal software.

Theirs will be a lot of work, because the Polish pirates have momentum – in March 2016 closed in our country illegal factory of Windows, which managed to bring counterfeiters than 3 million zł income.

When did you start to use legal software?

The difference is not large – during the examination conducted by the BSA found that the relevant license does not have a 48% used in our country software. Compared to the results from the previous edition of the report, this means a decrease of 3 percentage points.

A study on illegal software are executed by BSA every 2-3 years. Through archival particular, we know that in 2007 in Poland was 57% “pirates”, in 2011, this percentage dropped to 53%, in 2013 was the 51%.

The organization, which represents software developers and their behalf combats piracy calculated that in 2015 the value of illegally used Poland application was 447 million dollars. in comparison to 2013 is lower than the sum of 89 million dollars. BSA did not disclose whether the amount of the increased revenues the software industry.

Poland stands still heavily from European standards – the average in the EU countries use the 29% illegal software. Infamous leader when it comes to piracy, the Asia-Pacific region, where no license is 61% application. At the other extreme were the United States with 10% of illegal software users.

IDC was tempted by an indication of the reasons why the Poles are increasingly willing to pay for the programs you use. These include, among other things constant, low prices of personal computers, a relatively long lifetime of the equipment purchased, and less interest in fixed składakami – branded notebooks are delivered with pre-installed operating system.

BSA in turn leaves no doubt – decrease piracy is not the result of good will among buyers software. Bartlomiej Witucki, a representative of BSA | The Software Alliance in Poland believes that the lower prevalence of illegal software is a weave of 3 factors.



First, it is important increase the effectiveness of legal action conducted under the Anti-Piracy BSA in Poland, as evidenced by the numerous settlement serious amount, including one of the companies in the amount of one million dollars. it is also important that the appointment and operation of each command provincial and at at Police Headquarters, departments to combat cybercrime. the third element is the observed increase in the level of management software, although I must admit that Polish companies, which are ready to meet the requirements of ISO / IEC 1977-1 is not much.

it is worth noting that according to the plans prosecutor national experts in cybercrime to appear also in each prosecutor’s office. Among their tasks will probably prosecute users and sellers of illegal software.

Theirs will be a lot of work, because the Polish pirates have momentum – in March 2016 closed in our country illegal factory of Windows, which managed to bring counterfeiters than 3 million zł income.

FirePro S7100X – a new graphics card AMD virtualization – wirtualnemedia.pl

AMD FirePro S7100X is a product with hardware virtualization compliant PCIe SR-IOV (Single Root I / O Virtualization). Provides a solution for use in graphics virtualization, which offers the possibility of typical workstations up to 16 users.

AMD MxGPU allows optimum use of the possibilities of virtualization while maintaining compliance with the SR-IOV, allowing users to integrate existing ecosystems supervisors (hypervisors).

AMD FirePro S7100X received a compact form with a TDP of 100W, making it suitable for deployment in blade servers.

the card supports up to 16 users through virtualization solutions, including VMware, Solidworks, Siemens NX and Solid Edge. Enables controlled access hardware cycles to ensure predictable QoS (quality of service).

AMD MxGPU a virtualization solution graphics card, which offers the functionality of the card each virtual instance. This enables service graphics APIs such as DirectX or OpenGL, or APIs like OpenCL computing, which in turn makes the applications can be run in a virtual layer while maintaining the same code working. The use of native drivers AMD FirePro simplifies configuration and management. In addition, you do not need any special profiles, so that administrators can flexibly add and remove virtual machines. MxGPU maintains the integrity of the data on the virtualized operating systems and applications in these conditions through the use of hardware isolation memory. In this way, one virtual machine is not possible to access the data of another virtual machine.

The first company which introduced the server equipped with the new graphics cards AMD is Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Model HPE ProLiant WS460c Gen9 is no longer available.

In Poland, there are fewer pirate Programming – Polish Radio

This is the best result in our history, as in previous studies, the level of illegal software was with us respectively 57, 53 and 51 percent.


 

It’s good, but …

 

It is better, but it is still much worse than in the European Union, where on average only 29 percent of software used in computers, software illegal – said PR24 Bartlomiej Witucki representative BSA, The Software Alliance in Poland.


 

– There is a reason for satisfaction. A decrease of 3 percentage points, this is the highest decline noted by Poland. At the same time it is the highest drop in this year’s study. This shows that there is a tendency to reduce the number of illegal software in Poland. The trend continues, we hope that this will not change. Have broken the psychological barrier of 50 percent .. It is said that above this value are the country where piracy is a problem, here are the countries that are already in this area more legal software – explains the guest Polish Radio 24.

 

The courts have changed the approach

 

There are several reasons to improve the situation – adds the expert. – An important element will be the establishment of the department to combat cybercrime at each major command. It turns out that these departments in many cases excellent work with departments to combat economic crime. It seems that this is one of the factors. The second factor is a significant decision of the court, which awarded damages worth $ 1 million, it was very specialized software and quite expensive – lists the expert.


 

The estimated total market value of illegal software used in Poland last year amounted to $ 447 million, with over 100 million less than in 2013.


 

At the head of the ranking of countries where illegal software is the least of years are countries such as the US, Japan, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.

Less illegal software in Poland, its value is 447 million dollars (infographics) – wirtualnemedia.pl

In 2007, 2011 and 2013. Indicator of the use of illegal software amounted to 57 per cent., 53 per cent. and 51 percent.

The estimated, the total market value of illegal software used in Poland in 2015. amounted to 447 million USD (536 million USD in 2013.).

The change in Polish index – according to research firm IDC, co-founder of the report – affect the trends observed in the country: a flat in terms of price personal computer market, a relatively long lifetime of purchased equipment, the decline in interest unbranded devices are often equipped with software of dubious origin and the increasing popularity of licensed software among companies and businesses.

the study, which was attended by private users, iT managers and computer users in businesses and corporations confirm that unlicensed software is still in widespread use. However, the use of it is a risky game. This is due to the close relationship between unlicensed and malware, and thus the threat of cyber attacks. The costs of malware infection are enormous – only in 2015. Cyber ​​attacks cost the company the world’s total of more than $ 400 billion.

39 percent. software installed in 2015. on computers worldwide was not properly licensed. This represents a fall compared with 43 per cent. recorded in the previous survey BSA 2013.

Also, in some critical sectors pointer use of unlicensed software is quite high. For example, in sectors such as banking, insurance and securities trading amounts to 25 percent.

The directors responsible for the IT environment estimate that 15 percent. staff installs the software in the company’s network without their knowledge. But even they do not appreciate the scale of the problem, as 26 percent. employees admits that installs unauthorized software company network.

Ironically, in the light of these figures, the study shows a high awareness of the problem. The directors responsible for the IT environment claim that most worried at the prospect of losing critical data due to breach network security. They also claim that avoiding cyber threats is a key reason why care about is that the software used in their networks were legal and fully licensed. Moreover, in a broader survey among employees, 60 percent. of them indicated the risks associated with unlicensed software as a key reason for the decision to switch to legal and fully licensed software.

the highest overall percentage of unlicensed software is in Asia and the Pacific (61 percent.), a decrease of 1 point. percent. in comparison to report the BSA 2013. The second in order of the highest rate was recorded in Central and Eastern Europe (58 per cent. – a decrease of 3 points. proc.), and the third in this respect the region is the Middle East and Africa (57 per cent. – a decrease of 2 pts. per cent.). The region with the lowest rate (17 percent.) Remains North America, where it represents a significant commercial value ($ 10 billion). On the other hand, in Western Europe, the overall index fell by 1 point. percent. compared to 2013. and now stands at 28 per cent., and the overall EU average is 29 percent.

Research Global Software Survey, published this year titled “Using opportunities through compliance with the licenses” ( “Seizing Oportunity Through License Compliance”) is carried out every two years at the request of BSA | The Software Alliance by research company IDC. At the beginning of 2016. Study involved personal computer users from 32 markets, including more than 20 thousand. consumer and business users and nearly 2.2 thousand. directors and managers responsible for the IT environment in their organizations.

Solar flares necessary for life on Earth – Polish Radio

The publication was published in the latest edition of the journal “Nature”.

The researchers conducted observations interferometry technique by which light is collected by a number of separate telescopes are combined together to achieve a greater resolving power of the image. Is then obtained such a resolution, though he had a telescope with a diameter equal to the distance between the extremes instruments. In the case described observation was 330 meters.

explored star is Zeta Andromedae. Researchers obtained images of the surface during the 18-day cycle rotation of the star. It turned out that it has the equivalent of sunspots (the darker areas that are cooler than the rest of the surface of the sun).

These stains are not only in the vicinity of the equator star (as in the case of the Sun), but in the region poles. – Zeta Andromeda spotted in both hemispheres to a very different places. This can not be extrapolated to explain theories about the Sun’s magnetic field – says Rachael Roettenbacher of the University of Michigan.

Zeta Andromedae has a smaller star “partner” and rotates much faster than the sun. It may therefore occur there quite different processes. Researchers speculate, however, that we observe the situation which occurred in the case of the Sun, when it was young.

According to data collected between 15 November 2013 and 22 May 20016, the PS4 remains the fastest-selling console in the history of the Japanese company with more than 40 million copies sold.

the information that is accompanied by equally positive facts concerning the sale of games for the console. In the same period, through a network of commercial and Playstation Network has spread to more than 270.9 million copies of various types of titles.

According to Andrew House’s reason for such good results is a large library of production available exclusively on the Sony platform. Colossal argument for the truth of this belief are the results achieved by Uncharted 4, which in just the first week of sales has spread to more than 2.7 million copies.

Sony is also convinced that the pace of sales of the console not only did not fall, but even grow. According to the financial estimates of the current fiscal year (1 April 2016 – 31 March 2017) it plans to sell around the world another 20 million copies PS4. This would mean 13.3-percent increase over the last 12 months, when the market was able to take 17.7 million PS4.

You probably can help the launch of the new version of the console, which is rumored in the industry since March this year. PS4 Neo or PS4K would offer higher performance and better graphics in the new games. Andrew House also sees a big opportunity in the Playstation VR.



We will try to deliver even more exciting games to our users, increasing pace and accelerating the expansion of the PS4 platform and related business this fiscal year. We will offer an unmatched library of games, we introduce our system of virtual reality, Playstation VR and provide ground-breaking features and network services.

said House in the official press release Sony. And of course if statements about the excitement, and the breakthrough niezrównania are, as usual in such cases, greatly exaggerated, it must be admitted that the interests of the Japanese are going well. All this shows that the returning boomerang of prophecy that the current generation of consoles will be the last are greatly exaggerated. As long as business is going well, no one will shut its potential development.
