Un virus infecte les drones militaires américains

UAVs of the U.S. military have apparently been infected by a computer virus.

As a reminder, a UAV is an aircraft without a human pilot on board or not that carries a payload, and is intended for surveillance missions, intelligence or combat including the U.S. military with unmanned Predator and Reaper-like

drone-predator-reaper 
 A priori this virus, it detected 15 days at an air base in Nevada in the United States does not seem to communicate with the outside of the U.S. base, and would not interfere with ongoing missions. However, US Army can not remove it, the latter due to each phase. For now, the danger of the virus has not been determined although investigations are still underway to determine how this virus could be introduced. A track would cause contamination with external hard drives used by pilots to transfer information from one place to another.

This information is not taken lightly by the U.S. Air Force, including the budget for drones is very important. UAVs have already achieved, for example more than 230 missions in Pakistan that led to the deaths of 2,000 people. 150 Reaper and Predator drones have also intervened in Afghanistan and Iraq, or there were 92 interventions in Libya between mid-April and August. And last month a U.S. drone killed a much sought after terrorist, Anwar al-Awlaki. In short, there is a real U.S. combat drills and this intrusion will likely consequences.

The current investigation has shown the weaknesses of the first UAVs, including the lack of encryption of information exchanged, although we should not know a lot more because according to a spokesman for the Air Force

With self-publishing on the Kindle, Amazon increases the likelihood

Since October 7, Amazon launched its Kindle in France, the ebook reader, the proposed € 99. But the American did not laugh: this is the latest model in its range which will be marketed in France. No touch screen, of course, hardly any buttons, and a WiFi connection, ample.

This offer is accompanied by the launch of the Kindle platform Direct Publishing, motivated by several factors.

Amazon has always announced that it would launch its Kindle at the time that he finds the mature market. Namely: it would have a large enough catalog to market. Today, more than 35,000 French ebooks that are offered, including 4000 (only?) In the public domain. With this self-publishing platform, Amazon is a simple fact: colossally enrich its catalog.

Today, more than 35,000 French ebooks that are offered, including 4000 (only?) In the public domain. With this self-publishing platform, Amazon is a simple fact: colossally enrich its catalog.
 And with good reason.

 Back in September 2009. A study shows for the BBC is to publish a book one in three French, a real treatment option.The urge to write, but also to publish
 Alain Absire, then president of the LDMS, analyzed, "It is symptomatic of what to write: the writing workshops are full. On the contrary, they are more complete and earlier. It was believed that such an exercise of interest only to persons of a certain age. In fact, all rush in with relish, and some come back every year. "(See our actualitté)
 Better last year, the company revealed Books On Demand another poll: "One in three would imagine one day write and publish his writings," but 74% believe that this approach has little chance of success with classic house. And 18-25 years are even more pessimistic about this.
 The whole point of self-publishing platform for Amazon's solution therefore lie in the marketing of works in digital form, with royalties paid over 70% on the selling price of the book.
 Change habits, of course
 Since August 2011, Amazon has even set up its U.S. store a section dedicated to independent authors, who have passed through its platform KDP. And no doubt will come out soon Kindle Singles section, which allows the sale of texts from 5000 to 30,000 words. (See our actualitté)Although in theory, Amazon plays a winning card with the product of self-publishing, freely available, with the only drain 30% of the selling price, it will take the independent French authors agree to play the game but it is not really on this side that the risk is.
 Publishing is still an act that is accompanied by a realization with a paper book, which can be found in bookstores, to order by default, and so on. The platform of self-publishing has a dual mission: find a way to digital books on one side, by expanding the catalog, but on the other hand, democratizing the use of works in the country.
 Everything is possible, but the reaction of customers, users and authors will be at best possible changes that the sector will take in the coming years
