Nokia WP Lumia 900 official figure first aeration-Nokia Flagship machine, WP, flagship Lumia 900, the official map
Perhaps Lumia 900 soon released, and today the first exposure of the foreign media official propaganda machine diagram, and had the same number of rumors, it's shaped like a larger version of Lumia 800.
It can be seen from the picture, Lumia 900 by U.S. carriers AT & T custom, to join the front camera, and will support 4G network, but the message also shows Lumia 800 aircraft compared to the bottom of the screen position of the three lower buttons Windows Phone some, this also indicates that it has a larger screen.
Unfortunately, this phone did not disclose the specific configuration. But this is it anyway, before many of the messages from all that, Lumia 900 fuselage thickness of 9mm, Qualcomm offers 1.4GHz processor, 1GB RAM memory and 16/32GB internal storage capacity, equipped with 8 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss certification head, and is equipped with a 4.3-inch touch screen, the screen material is ClearBlack AMOLED.
And yesterday has been revealed, this flagship new aircraft Lumia 900 first time to market for the March 18, and it will work with the HTC Radiant and Samsung Mendel together by the U.S. carrier AT & T custom for sale.
Master the secrets of the focal length: make your photos more beautiful-the focal length, PS, the camera and take pictures
Head of social networking sites, photo is so handsome, very beautiful, and when you finally cannot hold back about the meet, end often has only one —— see light died. Many people will be strong PS and the United States attributed to the software.
However, even without PS photos will vary based on focal length camera reality gap. Same light, the same argument, even on the models face smiles are the same, as long as you use a different lens, shoot out portraits are quite different, beauty and ugliness differentiation is very serious.
Recently, photographer Steven &Bull; East wood took this photo, verify this fact.
As we all know, shot by the camera lens distortion effect of the scene, to a certain extent, this is because the lens will distort light, easy volume enclosed in a fixed size in a two-part frame, according to different lens focal lengths, the photograph of the degree of distortion also be mixed. As Stephen shooting of photos by as shown in, he using from 19mm to 350mm of focal length shooting has also conditions with a models of head according to, we can see, focal length more short of lens, by shooting of portrait more distorted, Stephen only using has 19mm of lens, if using 15mm fish eye lens words, distortion degree will more heinous; and to has medium-sized Coke applied to end, portrait of distortion will gradually weakened, even let portrait became more beautiful and handsome
; However, longer focal lengths of performance will be greatly hurt many girls making a face and wide, fat, this figure is absolutely unable to upload!
In theory, portrait taken to 135mm the best what it is, but this is not an absolute, composition and light also played a large role, which is why some people are shooting at a particular angle seems “ photogenic ” reason. If you paid attention, you can choose from every day and DC photographs taken using a mobile phone found in different, without even transform the focal length, when you shoot a person or thing near the screen edges, they will have varying degrees of distortion, haha mirror-like effect.

Nokia Pulse official announcements in the \”magic\” lens-Nokia Pulse, official propaganda film, \”magic\”, the camera
Nokia at Nokia World 2011 in the new release of the social applications Nokia Pulse,, I believe that through official announcements, there should be some understanding. This will be a in Windows Phone 7, Symbian and Series 40 applications that are supported, but in this short span of 2 minutes and 10 seconds of video, we found some very interesting places.
Photographed for the first time in front of the phone when the lower right corner, we can see a front camera. But in theory this should be the Nokia Lumia 800 fishes, how will suddenly have a camera there? Next videos continue, there was a more interesting picture:
Placed on the table is the Nokia N9 of the box. So far, gives us the feeling will be released to support the Nokia N9 of the Pulse application. API to:
Close-up of the next front of the phone, clearly shows the interface of Windows Phone 7. In the back, shot to the back of a camera phone, you can see the double flash of the camera position is in the left, just N9 design, rather than Lumia 800 in the camera head side of the design.
See the end, perhaps the videos can only guess there's a small post-production issues. But who knows what is truth?

Flash then exposes vulnerabilities to steal security camera-Flash, vulnerabilities, monitors, camera
Adobe is a Flash-related fixes vulnerability can be exploited secretly open the visitor's microphone and camera, Adobe is expected to be completed this week, the vulnerability of the repair work.
\"The problem server in Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager\", Adobe spokeswoman Wiebke Lips said: \"The engineers are working to step up bug fixes that could not involve or require the repair manual product updates, can be directly online at the server-side fix. QA work is completed immediately after release. \"
The vulnerability is caused by Stanford University computer science students Aboukhadiieh found and published in yesterday's blog, and contains a video clip. The attack uses something called \"clickjacking\" click-hijacking mode, hide the Flash SWF file in the Settings Manager pages iFrame behind, so you can bypass the framebusting JS code. (Text / Open Source China)
The exploits have appeared in 2008, with early reports from Znet:
Security experts recently warned that a newly discovered cross-browser vulnerabilities will lead to very dire security issues that could affect all the major desktop platforms, including IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Adobe Flash. This is called Clickjacking security threats, is supposed to OWASP NYC AppSec 2008 Conference announced, but manufacturers including Adobe, including a request to temporarily do not open this loophole, until they develop a security patch.
This vulnerability was discovered two security researchers, Robert Hansen and Jeremiah Grossman, revealed that they had little information to show the seriousness of the threat.
Clickjacking in the end is what?
Two experts said the study, they found not a small problem, in fact, very serious, they need to disclose this information prior to take responsibility for these problems a ring set a ring, at least two companies have committed to provide the patch , but the date yet, we are only a limited number of manufacturers and explore this issue, so the problem is serious.
According to more than half of those who participate in OWASP demonstrate openness of people said that this vulnerability is very urgent, will affect all browsers, but it does not matter, and JavaScript:
In general, when you visit a malicious website, an attacker can control your browser to access a number of links, this flaw affects almost all browsers, unless you are a class of characters using lynx browser. This vulnerability has nothing to do with JavaScript, even if you turn off JavaScript in your browser can not do anything. In fact, this is the browser works in a defect can not be resolved by a simple patch. Allows you to a malicious Web site without informed Click on any link, any button on the website or any thing.
If this does not make you panic, then think about this situation, a user is unaware of the attack and when to do nothing:
Such as Ebay, because you can embed JavaScript, although the attack does not require JavaScript, but can attack easier. Characters only lynx browser in order to protect yourself, but do not want any dynamic things. The vulnerability used in DHTML, using the anti-frame code can protect you from cross-site attack, an attacker can still force you to click any links. You do have to be directed to any click on a malicious link, so the game will bear the brunt of Flash.
According to Hansen say they have talked with Microsoft and Mozilla problem, but they both said this is a very difficult question, there is no simple solution.
