الشيباني عمر الشريف يصفع صحفية معجبة بالدوحة القطرية

يبدو أن الفنان المنتهية صلاحيته عمر شريف لم يكتفي بتراجعه في التمتيل وتدني مستواه على جميع الأصعدة، لكنه أيضا يواصل السبح  إلى قعر المستنقع بسبب تصرفاته الهمجية، معتقدا بانه لا يزال نجما مع ان أدواره "الجيدة" تعد على أصابع اليد الواحد، ربما كان سيبقى بدون أي شهرة لولا إستغلاله في هوليوود في أدوار محدودة، وطبعا العرب يحسنون التطبيل لأي شخص يظهر في فيلم غربي حتى وإن كان كومبارس.

في هذا الفيديو يصفع "الشيباني" إحدى الصحفيات  المعجبات فقط لأنها قاطعت تصويره من طرف بعض الصحفيين، عادي فالسيد لم يعد يعبره احد على الأقل يستغل الفرصة للظهور، وذلك خلال مشاركته في مهرجان سينمائي في العاصمة القطرية الدوحة.

Steve Jobs reportedly tapped iTunes creator to help "crack" the smart TV

Apple has insisted on calling its Apple TV set-top box a "hobby," even though the most recent version appears to be selling well. But Steve Jobs said shortly before his death that he had "finally cracked" a way to make TVs as simple and elegant as the iPhone or iPad. And the talent he trusted to see that task through is reportedly none other than Jeff Robbin, the same software engineer Apple brought on in 2000 to build iTunes.

Jobs told author Walter Issacson during an interview for his recently released biography that he wanted to make using a TV as simple as he had made using a smartphone or music player. “I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use,” he told Issacson. “It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine.”

“I finally cracked it,” Jobs said.

Rumors have been circulating for years that Apple would ditch its separate set-top box strategy and instead build an integrated TV set with Apple TV functionality built right in. Those rumors, however, were largely circulated by analysts and weren't considered serious by most observers. Now, though, it appears that Jobs may have admitted to working on such a project after all.

That admission seems further supported by a report from Bloomberg published Monday that the man leading the project at Apple is software engineer Jeff Robbin. Robbin developed the SoundJam MP MP3 jukebox software, which Apple bought in 2000 to form the basis of iTunes. Robbin was hired to transform his SoundJam code into the media syncing and playback juggernaut we know and love/hate today. Robbin was also involved in the development of the iPod as well as the iTunes Store, so it makes sense that he would be tapped to create a new interface to change TV as we know it.

Exactly which puzzle Jobs and Apple may have "cracked" isn't clear yet, but we believe it could be connected to the long-rumored TV subscription service that Apple is believed to have been working on since late 2009. iTunes TV content has always been pay-to-play, costing a few bucks per episode, though you could get a discount by ordering a whole season of a particular show at once. Apple looked to be trying to work out a deal with major networks to offer a subscription service—much cheaper than the typical cable bill—that would allow Apple TV users to stream whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted.

According to the Wall Street Journal, CBS and Disney were giving the plan serious consideration, but no deal had been struck at the time. Unfortunately, incumbent cable companies have likely done everything in their power to keep such a deal from happening.

A source speaking to Bloomberg claimed that Apple's solution may also involve tapping in to multiple services. Instead of checking Netflix, a cable service, Hulu, or iTunes, users would simply search for the show they wanted and the device would access the content from the most convenient source.

Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster insists that Apple already has prototype models in the works, according to his sources within Apple's supply chain. He told investors in a research note this week that Apple could introduce a TV set by next year, or perhaps as late as 2013. He also suggested that such a device would include Siri to track down 

shows to watch and iCloud support to access a variety of media without the need for local storage. +++arstechnica

Nokia unveils Windows smartphones

Nokia has launched its long-awaited first Windows mobile phones, hoping to claw back the market share it has lost in the tough, top-end smartphone race to chief rivals, Apple's iPhone, Samsung and Google's Android software. But some analysts say it may be too little, too late, for the world's top mobile phone maker. With price tags of 420 euro (£365) and 270 euro (£235), the Lumia 800 and 710 are based on Microsoft's Windows 7 software and come eight months after Nokia and the computing giant said they were hitching up. "Lumia is reasonably good ... but it's not an iPhone killer or a Samsung killer," Neil Mawston from Strategy Analytics said. "But where Nokia does stand out is on their price - it looks like they are going to be very competitive." Lumia 800, with Carl Zeiss optics and 16GB of internal memory, will be available in selected European countries in November, including France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Britain. It will be sold in Hong Kong, India, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan before the year ends.

 

Lumia 710, with a 1.4 GHz processor, navigational applications and Nokia Music - a free mobile music-streaming app - will first be available in Hong Kong, India, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan toward the end of the year. The company's share price jumped almost 3% in an otherwise depressed market on the Helsinki Stock Exchange but settled, closing almost unchanged at 4.80 euro. Nokia, which claims 1.3 billion daily users, has been the world's biggest handset maker since 1998, selling 432 million devices last year - more than its three closest rivals combined. But after reaching its announced global goal of 40% market share in 2008, it has struggled against rivals making cheaper handsets in Asia, and its share has shrunk to 24% earlier this year.+The Press Association

iPod inventor's next revolutionary device? The thermostat

 You would think the inventor of the iPod's next gadget creation might be some new consumer electronics gadget that will revolutionize the world once more. What if I told you Tony Fadell's latest creation is a new twist on something far, far less revolutionary -- the thermostat? Fadell's new venture, Nest Labs, aims to create greener technologies. While it may seem somewhat odd for the company's work to begin with the thermostat, it actually makes sense. In our quest to stay comfortable in our homes, constantly fiddling with the thermostat actually wastes a lot of energy. Take for example keeping the heat or cooling on overnight, or pushing the thermostat up sky high or low to heat or cool our houses faster. How about your heater or air conditioner running while nobody's home? All of these scenarios are adding to our home heating bills, and heating and cooling makes up about half of the single family home's $2,200 annual energy bill. "Together with the team, Co-Founder Matt Rogers and I set out to reinvent the thermostat using advanced technologies, high-quality manufacturing processes and the thoughtful design elements the iPhone generation has come to expect," Fadell says. "We hope it will not only save money and energy, but that it will teach and inspire people to think more about how they can reduce home-energy consumption." For a thermostat, Nest's creation is about as revolutionary as it comes. First, the device learns your heating and cooling patterns, and soon will adjust the temperature of the house on its own in a way that best conserves energy. It also guides you to use less energy by warning you when your temperature setting is outside of what will require excessive energy use to attain. When you're not at home, the device uses sensors to detect that the house is empty, and will automatically turn off the heater or air conditioner until your return. Integrated WiFi allows for automatic updates, and allows for remote monitoring and temperature adjustment via a website or mobile app. Apple's influence on Fadell shows in the design of the thermostat itself -- the metal finish and glass casing will remind users of Apple's line of iPhone devices. Apple has nothing to do with the product though: Fadell left the company back in 2008. The biggest question is whether Fadell and his company will be able to convince the public to fork over $249 for something as basic as the thermostat when it begins shipping November 14. Does the cost benefit outweigh the initial investment? For those of us trying to save money on our heating bills in these rough times or those of us dreaming of the "smart home," it just might be. |http://betanews.com

UN Report Finds $1.6 Trillion May Have Been Laundered In 2009

A study of studies by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that about $1.6 trillion was laundered in 2009.

The study, released Tuesday in Marrakesh, Morocco, where a U.N. Convention Against Corruption conference is being held all week, said its figures — that laundered funds constituted around 2.7% of global gross domestic product — were largely consistent with those released in 1998 by the International Monetary Fund, which said there was a “consensus range” of  2% and 5%.

More alarming, however, was that the UNODC found less than 1% of global illicit financial flows were being seized and frozen.

“Tracking the flows of illicit funds generated by drug trafficking and organized crime and analyzing how they are laundered through the world’s financial systems remain daunting tasks,” said Yury Fedotov, executive director of the UNODC, in a statement.

The 140-page report warned, however, there is no “gold standard” for estimating the extent of money laundering, because all methodologies have various biases and information gaps.

The most profitable form of transnational organized crime is the drug trade, which accounts for about one-fifth of all crime proceeds, the report said. Taken together, all proceeds of crime save for tax evasion reached $2.1 trillion in 2009.

The report focused on the cocaine market, which it said was probably the most lucrative illicit drug for transnational criminal groups. It found that gross profits for the drug were around $84 billion in 2009.

Another report issued this week by the UNODC, though this one jointly with the World Bank, examined the legal ways in which criminal funds can be hidden in the global financial system.

The report, called “Puppet Masters,” (pdf) showed how bribes, embezzled state assets and other corrupt funds are hidden in shell companies, trusts and other legal means. It recommended that more detailed information on beneficial ownership be held in corporate registries, and those who provide any sort of service to legal entities do better due diligence on controlling interests.

“We need to put corporate transparency back on the national and international agenda,” said Emile van der Does de Willebois, a World Bank specialist who led the StAR research team, in a statement. “It is important for governments to increase the transparency of their legal entities and arrangements and at the same time improve the capacity of law enforcement.”

Morocco court keeps editor Nini in jail

A Moroccan appeal court on Monday upheld a newspaper editor's one-year jail sentence for criticising the security service's counter-terrorism campaign and what he said were unfair trials of Islamists.

Rachid Nini, who partly owns the Almassae newspaper, was sentenced in June on criminal charges that include "discrediting a court, trying to influence the judiciary and publishing information about untrue criminal offences".

Since his arrest on April 28, the court has repeatedly denied him bail.

The official MAP news agency said Casablanca's appeal court upheld the June ruling which also includes a small fine.

Nini, 40, has has become a household name in a country where newspaper sales are among the lowest in the region by writing about alleged widespread corruption in government circles.

Communication Minister Khalid Naciri, whose department supervises and regulates media affairs, declined to comment. "I can't comment a judiciary ruling", he said.

The defence has criticised Nini's being tried on criminal charges rather than under the country's media law.

"This precedent opens the way to many abuses and to the withdrawal of the press law as an effective legal tool. We urge the Moroccan courts to reverse this decision," Reporters Without Borders said after the June ruling.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has said the ruling was a "politicised verdict... [and] the latest instance of the Moroccan government settling scores with critical journalists through a judiciary that is subservient to the executive branch".

"Nini is yet another example of how the Moroccan judiciary is utilised to curb press freedom," CPJ has said.

Amnesty International is appealing for Nini's release and has said that it "believes he is being targeted for his peaceful criticism of the Moroccan authorities, and considers him a prisoner of conscience".

Taarabt expects new PSG bid

The maverick Morocco international was targeted by the Ligue 1 club over the summer only for the proposed move to break down. Taarabt claims that the concerns of PSG sporting director Leonardo over his temperament led to the planned switch falling through and fears the same issue could arise in the winter window. The 22-year-old feels he is still wanted by the French outfit's wealthy owners, the Qatar Investment Authority, but accepts the former AC Milan and Inter Milan boss may have the final say. Taarabt told Canal+: "He (Leonardo) called Flavio Briatore, but the first thing he said was: 'OK, but there is Adel's temper...' "Flavio just replied: 'It is up to you to know how to manage it. We could manage it last season he helped us back into the Premier League.' "That is just an excuse from Leonardo not to sign me because he had other priorities. He preferred (Jeremy) Menez, (Javier) Pastore and even wanted Ganso. "The Qatar officials told me 'Do another great six months and in January we will be back'. "However, I am under no illusions. I know I am not Leonardo's priority." Taarabt admits his head has been turned by the possibility of leaving Loftus Road for the French capital, but hinted that some parts of the fixture list were less than enthralling. "Paris makes me dream, but there are only four big matches to play against Marseille, Lyon, Lille and maybe Rennes," he added. "Without being disrespectful, playing at Evian or Dijon would not be very exciting."
