The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which ships, planes, and people are alleged to have mysteriously vanished

For decades, the Atlantic Ocean’s fabled Bermuda Triangle has captured the human imagination with unexplained disappearances of ships, planes, and people.

Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as extraterrestrials capturing humans for study; the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis; vortices that suck objects into other dimensions; and other whimsical ideas.  Some explanations are more grounded in science, if not in evidence.  These include oceanic flatulence (methane gas erupting from ocean sediments) and disruptions in geomagnetic lines of flux.

Environmental considerations could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances.  The majority of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle, and in the days prior to improved weather forecasting, these dangerous storms claimed many ships.  Also, the Gulf Stream can cause rapid, sometimes violent, changes in weather.  Additionally, the large number of islands in the Caribbean Sea creates many areas of shallow water that can be treacherous to ship navigation. And there is some evidence to suggest that the Bermuda Triangle is a place where a “magnetic” compass sometimes points towards “true” north, as opposed to “magnetic” north. 

The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea.  Their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most incredulous science fiction. They add that no official maps exist that delineate the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an official name and does not maintain an official file on the area.

The ocean has always been a mysterious place to humans, and when foul weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very deadly place.  This is true all over the world.  There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean.

Samsung Makes Android SAFE for IT

he Galaxy S III will be the first Samsung device to bear the brand of the company's new SAFE program -- Samsung Approved for Enterprise. Out of the box, the SAFE-branded Galaxy S III supports a suite of enterprise-ready features and capabilities as well as 338 IT policies. SAFE may help combat Android fragmentation, at least as far as various IT security protocols are concerned.

8

The Win 8 RT version will run on an ARM processor, and the Windows 8 Pro version will have a third-generation Intel Core processor.

The casing of Microsoft's Surface tablets is made from VaporMg, pronounced "Vapor-Mag," based on magnesium. The Surface tablets have a 3mm pressure-sensitive Touch Cover that senses keystrokes as gestures. This lets users type faster than they would with an on-screen keyboard.

The Surface tablets' screens have a 16:9 aspect ratio, the current industry standard for high-definition screens.

Surface with Windows RT will weigh 676 grams. It will feature a 10.6-inch ClearType HD screen; a microSD slot, a USB 2.0 port, a Micro HD video slot and a 2x2 MIMO antenna. It comes with Office 15 apps.

Surface for Windows 8 Pro will weigh 903 grams. It features a 10.6-inch ClearType full HD display, a microSDXC slot, a USB 3.0 port, a Mini DisplayPort Video slot, and a 2x2 MIMO antenna.

Microsoft did not offer pricing information.

What About Your Friends?

With the Surface tablets, Microsoft is once again taking a stab at vertically integrating products from hardware to software, an approach that could prove risky.

"They're competing with their customers [PC OEMs]," Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee, told TechNewsWorld, referring to PC OEMs. "And I think their customers will look at alternatives. Perhaps this will help out Android."

However, Android tablets haven't really caught on and are vulnerable, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "When these [Surface tablets] come out, they will be offered and supported in a premium fashion very similar to the iPad. The Google tablets can't get to this level."

Then again, Microsoft "wants a high-quality product, but can it mass-produce these with quality?" asked Michael Cherry, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft. "Remember, it had quality issues with the early Xboxes."

Microsoft spokesperson Serina Hall pointed TechNewsWorld to the company's press release and the Surface website when asked for additional comment.

Gunning for the iPad?

The Surface tablets constitute a threat to the iPad, Enderle argued. "Both of them have three distinct advantages over the iPad -- Microsoft Office; the Optical Display, where the display itself can capture external information; and full integration with Microsoft's suite of management and security products. The Windows 8 Pro version has a fourth advantage -- full support for legacy Windows applications."

However, "I like the keyboard concept and integration, but it's a battle for the apps in my mind," Directions on Microsoft's Cherry told TechNewsWorld. "As neat as the hardware is, it isn't about hardware or OSes, it's about where developers provide the best applications."

The apps ecosystem is "one of the reasons why Apple products do so well," Sterne Agee's Wu remarked. "Microsoft has been trying to build an apps ecosystem for Windows Phone for some time and that hasn't taken off."

Android and iOS devices will continue to consolidate market share, Wu predicted.

Follow the iLeader

By vertically integrating the entire process from hardware to software for the Surface tablets, Microsoft "wants to have the same ability to control the total experience users have with Windows 8 [as Apple does with iOS devices]," Directions on Microsoft's Cherry speculated.

Microsoft's "executing tightly on the Apple model," and this vertical integration "will certainly upset their OEMs," Enderle said. "On the other hand, the relationship between Microsoft and its OEMs has been worsening for years, and the OEMs pissed off Microsoft first by adopting Android."

To Have the Market or Have Not

Ultimately, Microsoft's power in the tablet market might be questionable. "These companies can talk all they want but, at the end of the day, the customers are going to decide and right now, particularly in the tablet space, Apple has a very dominant share," Sterne Agee's Wu pointed out.

The only way Microsoft will make headway in the tablet market is by losing money, but then "the big question is how much money they are willing to lose," Wu suggested. 

Microsoft Tablets Surface, but Will They Float?

Microsoft on Monday revealed a pair of Windows 8 tablets it intends to make in-house. Called "Surface," the line includes a thin tablet running Windows 8 RT a larger slate that will run a desktop version of Windows 8. However, pricing has yet to be determined, and Microsoft gave no specific release dates as it showed off the products.

The Death and Rebirth of Microsoft

Depending on execution, the Surface could result in the most powerful and popular Microsoft ever -- or one on life support that looks a lot like RIM or Yahoo do today. I doubt there will be any middle ground. I believe Steve Ballmer is too smart to keep repeating the same mistake as if he were stuck in the movie "Groundhog Day" and never got the point.

The People vs. Apple

The U.S. DoJ has slammed Apple and several major book publishers with a suit alleging price-fixing in the e-book market. Apple, according to the suit, worked with publishers to foist a new business model onto the e-book industry -- one that took pricing controls away from retailers. Meanwhile, Nokia and Microsoft got serious, Facebook got Instagram, and Best Buy's CEO got out of Dodge.

The Return of MeeGo: Phones and Apps and Games, Oh My!

"Finland and the people let go by Nokia could do a lot worse than using MeeGo to avoid the roadblock of M$ in smartphones," said blogger Robert Pogson. "It's good to have diversity in smartphones. iThingies and Android/Linux thingies are decent, but a little more competition is good for all of us."

One of the best things about being part of the Linux community is that life is absolutely never boring around here.

Take MeeGo, for instance. First, it came, as a result of the merger between Maemo and Moblin.

Then, it went -- namely, when Tizen arrived.

Now? You guessed it: It's back!

Angry Birds for MeeGo

Finnish startup Jolla has announced it will be using the Linux-based mobile OS in not just one but two upcoming new phones, and it's apparently even signed a sales deal with D.Phone, China's largest smartphone retail chain.

But wait! There's more! An app store is reportedly in the works as well, and a version of Angry Birds is already available for MeeGo devices!

Head spinning yet? You're not alone. Bloggers far and wide have been mulling the implications.

'It's Going to Be Difficult'

"MeeGo was one of the more exciting projects I've ever seen come out of Nokia, so of course they'd completely botch it," mused Google+ blogger Linux Rants down at the blogosphere's Punchy Penguin Saloon, for example. "Now it has a second chance and I can't wait to see what it can do."

Linux Rants' only concern is that "in the time that MeeGo has been comatose, Android and iOS have pretty much made smartphone OSes a two horse race," he told Linux Girl. "It's going to be difficult for MeeGo to get a foothold. I sincerely hope that Jolla has what it takes to put MeeGo back in the running."

Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien took a similar view.

'I Seriously Doubt There Is Room'

"I hope they can make a go of it, though I seriously doubt there is room for yet another horse in the race," O'Brien began.

"Android is now over 50 percent of all phones in the U.S., and even higher globally; Apple is a solid No. 2," he explained.

"If Nokia hadn't hired the worst CEO in the world (and that is saying something), maybe they could have made a run with Meego," O'Brien concluded. "But it looks to me like this is another one of those interesting technologies (like BeOS) that just never got traction in the marketplace."

'Moblin Was Very Slick'

It's possible MeeGo "would not have died to begin with if its ancestry were less troubled," suggested Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza.

"Moblin was very slick, but much of the effort spent on it was actually eliminating support for non-Intel equipment, so that was completely wasted," he explained.

"I downloaded the x86 release of MeeGo only to find that they hadn't bothered to implement graphics, which had at least been working for Intel hardware in Moblin," Espinoza added. "It's difficult to imagine what it brings to the table today that would permit it to compete with Android."

'Those Guys Will Have Troubles'

Google + blogger Alessandro Ebersol had similar concerns. A,pa. "I feel those guys will have troubles," Ebersol told Linux Girl.

"If they don't succeed, it's kind of OK, since there are so many contenders in the mobile phone market," he pointed out. "But, if they do succeed, and make awesome smartphones, it's going to be hell for them, since Nokia, MS, Apple and whatnot will come after them with patent lawsuits."

These days, "little ones can't get into this market -- just big shots," Ebersol concluded. "Pity, for us consumers."

'A Small Company Can't Keep Up'

Slashdot blogger hairyfeet foresaw even more problems.

"One is the economies of scale, as the big handsets get cranked out in large enough numbers to help lower the costs," hairyfeet explained.

"This brings us to number two, which is that NO carrier is gonna promote a 'hacker friendly' OS, anymore than you are gonna get the MPAA to promote DRM free," he noted. "That means you'll have to buy unlocked and unsubsidized phones -- we are talking a good (US)$500 to $600 for a device that on average is out barely a year before the hardware is badly out of date."

Then, too, there's the fact that "phones are currently undergoing their own MHz war, just as the PC did in years past, which means hardware refreshes have to be FAST," hairyfeet added. "A small company simply can't keep up."

Throw in "the amount of $$$ being spent by the other guys on their phone OSes" and "mass market appeal, which simply won't be there," and MeeGo "has about as much chance as WebOS has of becoming the No. 3 phone OS, that is none at all," he concluded.

'Competition Is Good'

Of course, one of the advantages of open source is that if someone thinks they can do better, they can go ahead and try it, consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack pointed out.

"If this had been some proprietary project, the results of all of Nokia's work would have just been wasted," Mack noted.

And indeed, "MeeGo makes sense on small, cheap computers including smartphones," opined blogger Robert Pogson.

"Finland and the people let go by Nokia could do a lot worse than using MeeGo to avoid the roadblock of M$ in smartphones," Pogson explained. "It's good to have diversity in smartphones. iThingies and Android/Linux thingies are decent, but a little more competition is good for all of us.

"It would be sweet if Jolla managed to put Phoney '7' into fourth place or even further back in the pack," he added.

'I Would Like to See These Take Off'

Chris Travers, a Slashdot blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, took a similar view.

"Google really needs some competition in this space -- an open source smartphone OS run by someone other than an advertising giant which delivers targets ads by watching what folks do online," Travers explained.

"There is a growing number of Android users (myself among them) who are deeply uncomfortable with using an operating system built, essentially, by an adware company," he added. "It's one thing when it's search results; it's another thing when it is email. And when this is tied to things like your contact list on your phone or the documents you share, this becomes even more concerning.

"How much information are they gathering?" Travers wondered. "What are the implications for privacy?"

In short, "I would like to see these take off -- it would be a good thing for everybody,

Security Gurus: Jelly Bean Is Super Chewy

he latest version of Android, Jelly Bean, has been strengthened with extra security measures that make it especially difficult for hackers to crack, according to researchers. Those fortifications won't necessarily prevent rogue app makers from hijacking devices, which has proven a somewhat effective method of attacking the platform. However, other Google efforts in that regard have made a difference.

The latest version of Google's Android mobile operating system, Jelly Bean, is much harder to hack than its predecessors, according to research from Duo Security.

Google beefed up security for Jelly Bean significantly, said Jon Oberheide, security researcher at Duo. The OS will come with an updated address space layout randomization (ASLR), which randomizes memory on a device. That way, it's more difficult for hackers to program a targeted malicious attack when attempting to exploit a device.

When ASLR is combined with data execution prevention (DEP), the pair make exploiting vulnerabilities based on memory corruption difficult.

Android's 4.0 version of its mobile OS, Ice Cream Sandwich, was the first to launch with ASLR, but Oberheide said that it failed to live up to expectations and called it "largely ineffective for mitigating real-world attacks," since hackers could pinpoint spots in a device's memory where their malicious code could be located. These improvements are designed to make doing that nearly impossible.

Needed an Upgrade

Android's ramped-up security measures were a step in the right direction, Oberheide said, although the platform still has areas of security it should address, such as strengthening its exploit mitigation mechanisms. Code signing support that more closely resembles that of Apple's iOS is another thing he'd like to see. Android, he noted, has been playing a game of catch-up to get where it is, but other vulnerabilities still exist in the Android OS.

While the changes found in Android's latest version buffer a device against targeted outsider attacks, rogue apps and malware are still a large part of security breaches within Android's system, said Dan Rosenberg, security consultant at Virtual Security Research.

"Every piece of Android malware to date has not relied on exploitation of known or unknown vulnerabilities to gain access to a victim's device, but has instead relied on the user to install the malware, often disguised as a legitimate application from the Android market," he told LinuxInsider.

There are plenty of cyberattacks that can take sensitive data without using an exploit, said David Campbell, founder and principal consultant at Electric Alchemy, told LinuxInsider.

"You can have ASLR and DEP and all of that until the cows come home, but it doesn't matter if someone can still target an executive with spearfishing attacks and read all their e-mails and have all their contact information," he said. "

However, Google has made strides in addressing that type of cyberattack as well, said Rosenberg and Campbell. The company implemented Bouncer, an automated testing framework that is supposed to detect malware before an app gets published to the Andoird Market to help weed out rogue apps before they spread.

In addition, Android is working to make consumers more aware about every action they take on their device. One such addition is the elimination of the 'Read Logs' permission on Jelly Bean, which would have given an app the ability to read centralized system logs that could have contained data that rogue apps could exploit.

"Google's biggest challenge is its inability to provide quality assurance in the app marketplace," said Campbell. "So I'm excited by some of these recent improvements they've made in those areas."

Don't Hold Your Breath

While Android's emphasis on security is likely to cut down on attacks, customers might not be able to reap the benefits for quite some time, said Rosenberg. Unlike a mobile system like Apple's iOS, which runs on a single device and is upgraded periodically as new iPhones come out, Android's system runs on multiple models, manufactured by multiple companies worldwide. That variation makes major OS upgrades more difficult to implement.

"The sum of these improvements definitely represents a step forward in the overall security posture of the Android platform, but in a way these changes also highlight another central problem," he said. "The fragmentation of the Android ecosystem among dozens of carriers and manufacturers."

Google's new Nexus 7 tablet ships with Jelly Bean, though the company hasn't released information about when the OS will be available on other consumer devices. Google has said it will release a version of the OS to developers this month, but it could still be months before other devices that run on the new system hit shelves. When it does, the improvements will be welcome, said Rosenberg, but customers shouldn't hold their breaths.

"Because of this fragmentation, only about 10 percent of current Android devices run the previous latest version, Ice Cream Sandwich, so it's reasonable to assume that it may be many months before most of these security enhancements actually reach users," he said

Nexus 7 Plays Hard to Get

Google apparently had no idea its Nexus 7 tablet would catch on with consumers the way it did. In a development reminiscent of some of Apple's hottest products immediately following their launch, supply is out of step with demand -- the 16 GB version of the tablet is sold out at Google Play and hard to find elsewhere. Could the difficulty in obtaining one add to the Nexus 7's cachet?
