New ARM Smartphone Processor Claimed Strong Features AI

ARM announced two new mobile processor design Cortex A75 and A55. Both are claimed to be able to support the features of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in a mobile device.

Usually engine learning features and AI are handled through cloud computing (cloud). In this way, a device will not work too hard to handle those two features.

However, the company design processor design is used in almost all mobile devices are making the Cortex A75 and A55 to be able to work on two capabilities directly in the device thanks to DynamIQ technology, as reported by KompasTekno from GSM Arena on Tuesday (30/05/2017).

DynamIQ technology is designed entirely to boost machine learning performance and AI. Thus, both processing can be done directly in handheld devices.

In addition, DynamIQ technology is said to be more flexible and manageable than big.LITTLE used by previous generation ARM.

Because DynamIQ allows original equipment manufacture (OEM) to install a large processing core along with seven small processing cores within the same cluster.

Microsoft Prepares "Browser" Immune Malware

Internet browsers aka browsers are often manipulated to become gateways for various malicious programs to infect a user's computer.

Therefore, Microsoft reportedly is trying to develop a browser that is able to ward off malware attacks. Software that is a variant Edge browser for Windows 10 is equipped with a new feature called Windows Defender Application Guard.

How it works, Application Guard separates itself from the computer's operating system environment by creating and running on virtual PC (sandboxing).

In this way, the browser is isolated from other components such as storage, other applications, and Windows 10 so that can not be diomplared by Malware to infect the computer.

Other browsers are also some that offer sandboxing options. However, Microsoft says that the Application Guard has a unique hardware container that is really capable of preventing malware infiltration.

There are some shortcomings of running the Edge technique in a virtual machine, as performance tends to be slower. All data and cookies will not be saved after the user has finished surfing the internet and close the browser.

Google Add Phishing Attack Security for Android Gmail

Now Google has added anti-phishing security to the Gmail app for Android, the company announced earlier in the week. From now on, the Gmail app will give you additional warnings, when you click the suspicious link in the email.

"The site you are trying to visit has been identified as a forgery, intended to trick you into disclosing financial, personal or other sensitive information," wrote the warning text, quoted by Mashable Saturday (6/5).

This new feature will be gradually rolled out to all Gmail users over the next few days. This will come soon after a widespread phishing attack, which mimics Google services on a large number of users.

However, it's unclear whether a new Gmail security check will stop certain attacks, which use fake Google Documents apps that actually reside in Google's web domain. However, Google has taken steps to reduce phishing scams by removing fake pages, disabling accounts, and adding steps to prevent similar attacks from happening again.

Seconds, World's Fastest Camera Capture 5 Trillion Frame

Massachussetts Institute of Technology ever made a camera capable of taking 1 trillion frames per second. Now, researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have made a faster camera and able to record 5 trillion frames per second.

The world's fastest camera named Frequency Recognition Algorithm for Multiple Exposures (FRAME) It can record events that take place in just 1/5 trillion seconds.

So fast, FRAME can even complete the movement of light particles (photons) that move across the equivalent distance of a sheet of paper.

Why make this high-speed camera? The goal is to study a variety of science events that take place in a very short duration, in the femtosecond scale (sepertriliun detik).

There are some examples of such a chemical reaction process that on average only takes 200 femtoseconds, or the duration of atomic vibrations in iodine molecules of only 300 femtoseconds.

By recording and slowing the appearance of the occurrences of these natural phenomena, FRAME is expected to help scientists to learn more.

Western Digital Launches "Helium" Hard Drive 12 Terabytes

Hard drive storage capacity with helium gas technology continues to grow. Western Digital this week launched the "helium" hard drive product with 12 terabytes (12,000 gigabytes) under the HGST brand. His full name, Ultrastar He12.

HGST began to develop hard drives containing helium for several years ago through a process called HelioSeal. The gas is charged into the internal hard disk space where the data storage disk is located.

Helium gas that has micro-climate only 1/7 of the usual air density is claimed to allow a thinner data storage disk and ease the working of the data reader's arm.

As a result, helium hard disk also claimed to have a capacity and higher performance than the hard drive that internal space contains ordinary air.

"Ultrastar He12 is advancing the Western Digital HelioSeal portfolio to deliver industry-leading, large-capacity hard drives," said Grace's Senior Vice President of Devices, as quoted KompasTekno from The Inquirer, Saturday (4/29/2017).
