How effective is spam

16.06.2009

How effective is spam - unsolicited advertising sent to email addresses? A group of computer scientists from California (USA) became interested in this issue.

They analyzed the results of an advertising campaign in which 75 million messages about a new herbal medicine were sent out from 869 computers in a major spam advertising network in 26 days.

The result is only 28 purchases of this tool, that is, the mailing efficiency is less than 0,00001%. Whereas a regular advertising campaign, when information is sent on request or to people who may obviously be interested in the proposed product, reaches an efficiency of 2,15%.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Asus Pad Phone 2 31.10.2012

Asus announced the launch of the PadFone 2 mobile device, which is a modern 4,7-inch quad-core Android smartphone with LTE support that can turn into a 4-inch tablet when connected to the PadFone docking station 10,1 station. The PadFone 2's software is optimized for both modes of operation, providing an instant transition from smartphone to tablet and vice versa, Asus said.

The PadFone 2 Station is lighter and thinner than the original PadFone, bringing the total weight of the PadFone2 + PadFone2 Station to just 649g. Despite the screen enlarged to 2 inches, the PadFone 4,7 smartphone itself remains very elegant and compact - its thickness is no more than 2 mm, and its weight is only 9 g.

PadFone 2 features a 2140 mAh battery that provides up to 16 hours of 3G talk time, while the PadFone 2 Station further extends this to 36 hours.

The PadFone 2 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 4GHz quad-core processor in both smartphone and tablet mode with 1,5GB of system memory. The new 2-inch Super IPS+ display with a resolution of 4,7x1280 pixels is equipped with a scratch-resistant Corning Fit protective glass. It is distinguished by large viewing angles, accurate color reproduction and high brightness (720 cd/m550).

The 13-megapixel camera is capable of capturing photos at 6 frames per second and recording video at 1080p/30fps or 720p/60fps for high-quality images. A large aperture (F2,4) and a dedicated processor help you take pictures in low light conditions.
In addition, PadFone 2 and PadFone 2 Station use SonicMaster audio technology for high quality sound. Specialists from Waves Audio took part in its implementation.

With up to 64GB of built-in storage and free 50-year access to Asus WebStorage's 2GB cloud file storage, PadFone 2 gives you plenty of storage for all your files. Using the PadFone 2 with the PadFone 42 Station dock does not require synchronization, since all data is always only in the smartphone's memory. In addition, the smartphone and dock share the same SIM card and the same data plan, supporting data rates up to 100 Mbps on DC-HSPA+ networks and up to XNUMX Mbps on LTE networks. Data exchange with other mobile devices can be carried out using NFC technology, Asus said.

Specially for PadFone 2, a new version of the SuperNote application has been developed, which instantly converts handwritten notes into editable text, and the Instant Translation function will help you translate any phrase in an email or web page from one language to another.
