Lo anterior lo informó la dependencia en un comunicado donde afirmó que esto es para detener la proliferación de anuncios publicitarios que promueven desarrollos habitacionales de reciente creación.

Las acciones de detección y regularización incluyen en una primera instancia el retiro inmediato de la propaganda que contravenga la reglamentación aplicable, para a continuación admitir y analizar las propuestas de los desarrolladores de vivienda y establecer en conjunto con el Municipio, las características de esta publicidad.

Los desarrolladores de vivienda han mostrado una actitud favorable con el programa y presentarán en los próximos días al Municipio su propuesta para definir las características de la publicidad, con criterios de homogeneidad, seguridad y armonía visual.

La asociación de consumidores Facua ha presentado tres denuncias contra Vodafone, por presunta publicidad engañosa en su última campaña de publicidad. ‘Según la Comisión del Mercado de las Telecomunicaciones, nuestro precio medio por minuto es un 11% más bajo que la competencia’, aseguran los anuncios, una afirmación que Facua, como adelantó ayer CincoDías, considera contraria a la ley, ya que ningún informe de la CMT recoge ese dato de forma expresa.

Por ello, Facua presentó ayer denuncias ante la Consejería de Economía y Consumo de la Comunidad de Madrid, donde Vodafone tiene su sede social; ante el Instituto Nacional del Consumo del Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo, y ante la CMT.

Según Facua, la ley dice que la publicidad engañosa es cualquiera que pueda inducir a error, algo que se produce en la publicidad de Vodafone, porque la compañía no aclara que se trata de un cálculo particular y que la comparativa se produce con el precio medio de sus rivales.

Los anuncios más originales y provocadores de las dos orillas se citan en El Sol, el Festival Iberoamericano de la Comunicación Publicitaria, que abre sus puertas a finales de este mes en San Sebastián. Pese a la crisis que parece atenazar el sector, en esta 23ª edición se exhibirán 3.744 piezas, un 8% más de las que compitieron el año pasado.

Los nuevos medios, sobre todos los interactivos y digitales, han experimentado en esta edición un significativo crecimiento. Aunque la publicidad en Internet tiene todavía poco peso en el conjunto de la inversión publicitaria, las webs presentan a concurso 131 piezas. Es una prueba de la capacidad de aclimatación de la publicidad a los nuevos medios. Otra muestra de la adaptación al nuevo paisaje mediático es el avance de los soportes interactivos, cuya presencia aumenta un 39% (hasta 399).

Gráfica es la categoría que presenta una mayor competencia: 1.708 inscripciones, que representan el 45% de todos los anuncios a concurso. Los anuncios publicados en diarios y revistas superan también la barrera del millar (1.117), mientras que las cuñas de radio se muestran en retroceso (pasan de las 277 el año pasado a 269).

San Sebastián recibe piezas de 18 países, la participación más elevada hasta ahora, gracias a la incorporación de Paraguay y Costa Rica. España es el país que acude con un mayor número de piezas, 2.278. A continuación figuran Argentina (520), Brasil (228), México (209), Portugal (132) y Estados Unidos (60).

Para Carlos Martínez-Cabrero, director del festival, la gran afluencia de campañas y spots pone de relieve la apuesta del sector por El Sol. Y agrega que a pesar de la incertidumbre económica, se ha batido el récord de participación. “Esto refleja el valor esencial que tiene la comunicación publicitaria”, afirma el responsable de El Sol, un certamen organizado por la Asociación Española de Agencias de Publicidad (AEAP).

La campaña de Nike Hipotermia (de Villarosas, España) y Boxeador (de BBDO Chile para PlayStation) fueron algunas de las premiadas el año pasado. En la edición de 2008, El Sol ha aumentado los premios y ha abierto las puertas a nuevas secciones, como la dedicada a relaciones públicas.

Pinhole cameras may just be the simplest type of camera ever invented, and they have been around for a long time now. These cameras are used for art, fun, science, and even surveillance. You probably have one, or know someone who does. But have you ever thought about the mechanism behind a pinhole camera?

Not Your Typical Camera

The pinhole camera is not one of the conventional cameras you’re used to in both its form and function. Instead of the typical camera case, a pinhole camera makes use of a light-proof box – matchboxes and cereal boxes will do. And in place of the typical glass lens is a very, very small hole, the size of that created by a pin.

But don’t underestimate this cardboard camera. The fact is the results are impressive and sophisticated works of art. The images you get after exposure is a whole lot better than those you get from a conventional camera. It’s soft, yet crisp at the same time, and the images have an almost infinite depth of field.

Simple Concept

This simple camera works on an equally simple principle: Pinhole Optics. One side of the box has a miniscule hole. Light from outside the box passes through the hole and an image is formed on one side of the camera.

For you to understand the concept better, imagine being inside a big, dark box. On one side of the room is a small hole and outside the room is a friend holding a flashlight. Now this friend shines the flashlight through the pinhole, at varying angles.

Imagine the wall opposite the hole. On it will be a small dot created by the beam of the flashlight, shining through the hole. As your friend moves the flashlight, the small dot will also move around the wall.

Now, imagine taking this large box outside and pointing it at your garden. On the wall opposite the hole will be a reversed and inverted image of the landscape. Each point in the garden emits light and the beam emitted from the point will pass through the hole, creating its equivalent point of light on the opposite wall.

Every point of the landscape will do these (emitting of light, passing through the hole, and reflecting to the wall) all at the same time so that an entire image is created on the back wall.

The bigger the scene and the smaller the hole will automatically mean a longer process. But this also means better results. The image will of course be dim, as the hole is very small.

Small Camera

The actual pinhole camera comes in many different sizes. But all the same, it is a lot smaller than the box mentioned above. And instead of a bare wall opposite the hole, the pinhole camera makes use of a sort of film. The film, flattened against the wall, records the light or the image that passes through the hole.

The camera creates a nice, in-focus representation of the scene where you point your camera. The exposure time usually lasts from half a second to several hours, much longer than usual exposure time of your conventional camera. This is because the pinhole can only allow so much light to pass through, but the result is definitely worth the wait.

Securing a wireless network is serious business for any IT professional, but how secure do you need to be to truly protect your network from being attacked and ultimately compromised, and which techniques will best afford the desired results? WEP, WPA PSK, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 PSK, WPA2 Enterprise; with all of the wireless security standards and options available and conflicting advice of supposed wireless experts, it’s no wonder confusion reigns supreme resulting in the perpetuation of urban legends. To develop a comprehensive wireless security plan, it is essential to know the facts, so we will first discuss the various wireless security options available.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. – Sun Tzu

Wireless security options

* WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) – A deprecated wireless security protocol initially introduced in 1999 to secure 802.11 wireless networks. In 2001, many serious cryptological weaknesses were identified resulting in WEP being compromised within a matter of minutes.

* WPA (WiFI Protected Access) – A wireless security system developed in response to the weaknesses of WEP. WPA was designed to replace WEP while the full security standard (802.11i) was being developed in the form of WPA2. WPA implements the majority of the 802.11i standard and was specifically designed to work with first generation (pre-WPA standard) wireless network interface cards.

* WPA2 (802.11i – WiFI Protected Access) – A wireless security system utilizing the full mandatory elements of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 employs a new AES-based algorithm, CCMP, which is considered fully secure. WPA2 will not work with some older network cards.

* PSK (Pre Shared Key) – A “shared secret” which is shared between two parties using some secured channel prior to use. PSKs may be from 8 to 63 printable ASCII characters or 64 hexadecimal digits and may be used in the following forms;

o Password – dog679leg

o Passphrase – Spiderman beat Batman in 1994

o Hexadecimal string – 4E102AB2511CEE541

* Enterprise (802.1x RADIUS authentication) – Enterprise is meant for use with an 802.1x authentication (RADIUS) server, which distributes different keys to each user after authenticating credentials. This is the most secure wireless networking technology in existence today.

Urban Legend: WEP can be cracked in a matter of minutes

Status: True

Details: Early in 2001, Ian Goldberg, a cryptologist at Montreal-based security and privacy software developer Zero-Knowledge Systems Inc., along with researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, uncovered flaws in the IEEE 802.11 standard allowing them to read WEP-protected traffic, inject traffic onto WEP-protected networks, and modify WEP-protected data. Essentially WEP is assumed to be cracked now.

Solution: Never use WEP! If for some reason you have to, add additional layers of security such as virtual private networks (VPN) or the IPSec security protocol, before allowing data to cross from a wireless network to a secure corporate system.

Urban Legend: WPA PSK & WPA2 PSK have also been cracked in a matter of minutes

Status: False

Details: In late 2004, many headlines stated that WPA had been cracked. In reality, the standard had never been cracked, but the WPA PSK implementation with a weak “shared secret” had been cracked. Here is how it works; a hacker uses a tool to scan the wireless airwaves for access points and wireless clients. When he finds a wireless client, he kicks him off the target access point by injecting DeAuth packets between them. Then the hacker watches as the client re-associates, completing the handshake with the access point. In doing so, he recovers the encrypted “shared secret” (The PSK). Now the hacker has captured the encrypted key file on his computer, but he must use a brute force dictionary attack to actually get a working PSK and gain access to network resources.

A dictionary attack varies from a brute force attack slightly. Where a brute force will simply try every combination of characters in a password, a dictionary attack will use a list of common words and pass phrases first to try and guess a password. The hacker will most likely try a dictionary attack first hoping for a quick break. If the password is randomly generated, he will be forced to use the brute force method.

The time it takes a brute force attack to guess a password is a function of the computing power (Number of attempts per second), and the length of the random password. For instance, if a hacker can test 100 words per second, and you used a single character random password consisting of a-z, A-Z, and 1-0 (72 characters) it would take approximately .72 seconds to crack it.

72^1 character combinations / 100 character combinations per second = .72 seconds

If we move form a single character to an eight character random password we get the following

72^8 character combinations / 100 character combinations per second = 7222041363087.36 seconds or approximately 319,849 years.

Once the hacker has successfully guessed your password, he will have the plain text PSK and will be able to freely access your network resources.

Solution: If you use WPA or PWA2 PSK, make sure you use a long random key. Most experts recommend a 20 character key for minimum security, but you may use a key up to 63 characters long for very high security. There are many random WPA key generators on line, use one to ensure a truly random key. Finally, rotate your keys annually, this will ensure your WPA PSK network is very secure.

Urban Legend: Using “wireless LAN best practices” such as SSID suppression, MAC address filtering. Static IP address schemes and RF signal suppression makes my network even more secure.

Status: False

Details: Many so called wireless experts would have you believe that using widely published “wireless LAN best practices” in conjunction with 802.11 wireless security measures will make your network even more secure by making it harder to detect or creating multi-layered security. These practices include;

* SSID suppression

* MAC address filtering

* Static IP address schemes

* RF signal suppression or shaping

The fact is that an experienced hacker using freely available hacking tools will automatically defeat these measures in a matter of seconds. In reality, there is no layered security and these measures only create a false sense of security and cost valuable IT resources.

In addition to this, SSID suppression can make your wireless network less secure because it forces your wireless clients to actively probe for the SSID, broadcasting continuously wherever you go. This can make you vulnerable to an evil twin attack or data seepage, which gives valuable information that can be used by a hacker in social engineering.

Solution: Don’t waste time or resources on these “wireless LAN best practices”, they will not help secure your network, and may even make your network less secure in the end.

In conclusion, a wireless network can be effectively secured using either WPA or WPA2 Enterprise or WPA or WPA2 PSK with a randomly generated key of 20%2B characters. Anyone who tells you anything else is just perpetuating a wireless urban legend.

If you are a music buff or simply enjoy music, chances are you are already in possession of some sort of a music system. Gone are the days when we had to laboriously wind up the gramophone or put the needle on the exact spot on the record-player and when we were traveling we had to be content with a good old portable radio. But, with new advances in technology, first came improved versions of the stereo, then the cassette player and now we are simply spoilt for choice because the market is inundated with newer and better audio and stereo products. The mind boggles at the wide array of choices and it can certainly confuse anyone looking to buy the latest equipment.

With shrinking spaces but advancing technology, it is now possible to buy a mini system of stereo and audio device which is also high on quality. If you are living in a small apartment or a dorm room, you might just want a mini system like an iPod or a MP3 player. These can come with speaker docks which you can put up in your rooms or office. The basics of a mini stereo system consist of a stereo receiver and speakers.

Portable CD players, iPods, MP3players have all but replaced the portable radio. Now, no matter where you go, you can always put your mini system in your pocket and be assured of enjoying your favorite music. What a relief especially on mind-numbing long-distance flights! Your morning walks can also be pepped up with music coming into your ears.

Some mini systems let you enjoy CDs and are also capable of charging your iPod. They have remote control and reflux speakers for better sound. It is possible to use the mini-stereo system for other purposes also. You can use it for an alarm clock or you can play a single CD or play music directly from the iPod. The mini system of stereo and audio device players come in a wide range from portable CD players to simple AM/FM radios. They also come with a wide selection of speakers.

The technology is so advanced that it does not matter whether you have the iPod nano, iPod shuffle or IPod video. You can convert any of these into a full-fledged music system with portable iPod speakers. The iPod stereo docking system provides optimum functionality. And, even if you do not have an iPod, you can still listen to music with a MP3 micro system. It is a fallacy to think that these will not work in a small stereo. In fact, an iPod or Mp3 player makes an important core component in a mini stereo/audio system and even a small DVD or CD player is able to run a big home theatre. So, you can easily combine your home and mobile stereo system.

Many MP3 players offer a whole lot more than simply play the digital audio. They are capable of letting you watch videos, listen to radio and are thus more versatile than people think them to be. Different players have different memory storage and depending upon that, you can store as many hours of music as you like literally in your pocket. The advantage of these mini systems is that their audio outs perform like any other audio part. Just imagine being able to carry your music with you wherever you go without the bulk.

Mini system of stereo and audio device player has come as a boon because you no longer have to allocate large areas in already shrunk spaces for your music system and a simple set of speakers will work wonders with the acoustics.

Cette histoire de fantômes, produite par un maître du genre, Guillermo del Toro, est le plus gros succès du cinéma ibérique. En salles actuellement.

Les agresseurs ont reconnu avoir écrit «Sale juif» et «Sale pédé» sur le visage de leur victime, âgée de 18 ans.

MARSEILLE (Reuters) – Dernier club français présent sur la scène européenne, l’Olympique de Marseille affronte ce jeudi le Zénith Saint-Pétersbourg en huitième de finale aller de la Coupe de l’UEFA.

C’est un autre club russe, après le Spartak Moscou au tour précédent, qui se dresse sur la route du club phocéen.

“C’est une très bonne équipe, sans doute meilleure que Moscou”, a prévenu le défenseur Jacques Faty.

Les deux clubs se sont déjà rencontrés à ce stade de la compétition en 2006. Le club russe s’était imposé à Marseille (0-1) avant de concéder un nul (1-1) au retour suffisant pour sortir l’OM de l’épreuve.

“Ce sera un match difficile car il s’agit d’un gros client. On connaît la qualité de cette équipe du Zénith, elle n’a pas battu n’importe qui au tour précédent”, a renchéri Mathieu Valbuena.

Tandis que l’OM sortait le Spartak Moscou de l’épreuve au tour précédent, le Zénith en faisait de même avec Villarreal, alors classé troisième de la Liga.

Quatrième du championnat de France, l’OM devra pour sa part repenser son dispositif tactique en raison de la suspension de son capitaine Lorik Cana et de la blessure de son défenseur central Julien Rodriguez.

“L’essentiel, c’est de ne pas prendre de but parce qu’on sait très bien que cela coûte cher dans cette compétition. Il faut aussi faire la différence parce que ce n’est jamais évident de disputer un match retour en Russie”, a encore expliqué Valbuena.
