Where the Commodore computer center was once the headquarters of the
European Union, an exhibition commemorates the time of C64 & Co. The
fact that the Americans chose Braunschweig for the billion-dollar
business with the "breadboxes" had a very special reason.
The letters shine as if the company had never disappeared from the market. Newly installed spots radiate the Commodore logo at the huge hall also at night. It is the original lettering that once decorated the Europacentrale of the PC pioneer in Braunschweig.For
a look at the history of Commodore, the packaging service provider
Streiff & Helmold has had the letters reassembled to the outside
wall of his company center. Once the company delivered the packaging for the entire European Commodore market. Braunschweig was however from 1980 to 1993 the also the main production site of Commodore in Europe with up to 2,000 employees. After the failure of the manufacturer, the company took over the site
of the European headquarters of the computer-builder in 1996.In
the former Commodore canteen, senior chief Helmut Streiff recalls the
great time of the Commodore personal computer, which is closely linked
to his own life. "This is the least we can do". Nostalgically Streiff looks back on the once-close partnership with the Commodore employees. Since October 1980, the European headquarters was in Braunschweig.
In showcases there are products that have revolutionized the market for home PCs. The
Commodore 64, for example, which was sold millions of times worldwide -
and the first home PC, which was also affordable for the normal
consumer. Klobig and angular looks the device from today's point of view, just like a "bread box" just as the nickname of the device was. A limited edition special gold edition was launched for the one millionth C64 in Germany. One of the only 250 copies can now be admired in the permanent exhibition.

On the MWC, Microsoft and Porsche presented the Book One with a particularly noble and powerful 2-in-1. The approximately 2.800 euro expensive device comes with QHD display, Core i7 CPU and large Intel SSD memory.
Microsoft
has brought to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona a
multi-functional Windows 2-in-1 designed together with Porsche. The Book One is Convertible and Detachable in one. For example, the keyboard can be completely turned around by using the
device as a tablet, or the user can completely remove the keyboard from
the case.
By
the way, the development of the swivel joint was inspired by the design
of a sports car transmission, the companies said on Monday. The gears are made of high-quality stainless steel and intermesh precisely. Thus, the tablet unit should get the required stability in any position.
The device is powered by an Intel Core i7 processor with a maximum of 3.5 GHz and has an Intel-produced 512 GB disk drive. Lots of memory is also available with a capacity of 16 GB. The
13.3-inch touch screen provides high-resolution images with 3,200 x
1,800 pixels. The Book One supports biometric user authentication via a
built-in 5 megapixel camera and infrared sensor via Windows Hello. Interfaces include 2 x USB 3.0 and 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C / Thunderbolt 3. As an operating system, Windows 10 is, of course, used in the Pro edition.
The processing and equipment but also their price. With around 2,800 euros the Book One clearly addresses a premium market. It will be available from April in Germany and other countries.
With hardly one currency is it as up and down as with the digital currency Bitcoin. Political uncertainties around the world and strict control of capital
movements in China are now giving the crypt diet a considerable boost.
The digital currency Bitcoin has continued the rapid high-altitude flight of past trading days and reached a record high. In
the course of the night, the price jumped for the first time over the
brand of 1,200 US dollars and rose temporarily to 1218.85 dollars. In the morning, however, profits were received and Bitcoin was last traded at 1161.49 dollars.
"The
main reason for the recent price rise is speculation on the approval of
the first Bitcoin ETF by the US stock market supervision," said
BayernLB's foreign exchange expert. Accordingly, the decision to approve the fund will fall on 11 March. This is expected to fundamentally change the trade in bitcoins, as it would give more investors access to crypt.Previously,
the Wall Street Journal had already reported that the US stock market
supervisor SEC would decide by March 11th on a change in the rules that
would allow the approval of the "Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust ETF". According to experts, this could lead to a strong influx into the Bitcoin business.
Uncertainty pushes Bitcoin course up
As other prize-winners, market observers cite investors' general concerns about political uncertainties in the US and Europe. Recently, increasing capital controls in China had also boosted bitcoin. Chinese investors can circumvent such controls by avoiding the uncontrolled digital currency.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that has been created on the Internet. It has been in circulation since 2009. Bitcoins are generated in complex computing processes on the users' computers. They
are based on the so-called "blockchain" technique: all bitcoin
transactions are stored on all participating computers, grouped into
blocks that are concatenated with all previous transactions. A central register, as in a central bank, is no longer required.

According to an IDC study, the security situation with regard to
mobile technologies has intensified further - the damage to the
companies is considerable.
After
their survey in 2015, the analysts at IDC in December 2016 once again
interviewed companies on mobile security in their companies. The key finding of the study is that the security situation has intensified since 2015.
At
least 65 percent of the respondents report that they have had
experiences with attacks on mobile devices, which is 8 percent more than
in the predecessor study. In practice, the number of attacks is likely to be significantly
higher, since many cyber attacks are not noticed by the companies.
Overall, according to another study, 26 per cent of companies said
they had suffered losses of more than 100,000 euros last year from
security incidents with mobile technologies.
The
damage sums could increase further in the coming year. By the end of
May 2018, the new Basic Data Protection Act (DSGVO or English GDPR) came
into force. This is relevant for every company that operates in the
European market and thus data from persons Of the EU. Then the data protection authorities can collect fines of up to 20 million euros or four percent of sales. "By the DSGVO, violations of data protection are on a par with fines
for money laundering or corruption," explains Mark Alexander Schulte,
senior consultant and author of the IDC study.
However,
it is a good thing that three quarters of all surveyed companies are
already preparing for the new regulation, only five per cent of the
decision-makers have not yet arrived. According
to the interviewees, the most promising measures to comply with the
DSGVO are the prohibition of access from unauthorized WLAN, the revision
of the security guidelines and the definition of a data protection
officer. Equally,
Shadow IT is to be more strongly combated - and an EMM (Enterprise
Mobility Management) software is introduced or expanded.

To prevent false messages, Facebook wants to change its algorithm. In the future, he will prefer "authentic" messages.
Because of false news, Facebook has been criticized for weeks. Now, the network wants to do something against the fake news:
Authentic content that is "real, not misleading, not sensational and no
spam", Facebook wants to push in future, according to the company in a
notice.
Identification of Fake News
To
get behind the phenomenon of fake news, Facebook has initially
categorized sites that spread false news and attention-grabbing
headlines. On this basis, an algorithm was set up so that similar false messages can be detected. Conversely, contributions that do not have the characteristics of false messages are highlighted in the message feed.
With the action, Facebook wants to restore its reputation. In
connection with the US presidential election, allegations were voiced
that the Facebook news feed was dominated by Fake News. A German false-news filter should be available before the Bundestag election this year.

Ford is investing a billion dollars in the AI company Argo AI, which is specialized in AI. With the help of the start-up, the Autobauer wants to develop a new software platform for robotic trucks.
Ford
is in the running for the development of self-propelled cars a billion
dollars in the start-up of a former Google developer. The
second-largest US car dealer will distribute the investment over the
next five years, taking over the majority of the company Argo AI from
Pittsburgh, which specializes in artificial intelligence. Ford plans to launch autonomous vehicles on the road in the year 2021, just like other automakers.
Ford announced Friday that they wanted to use Argo to develop a new software platform for robotic trucks. This technology could then possibly be licensed to other companies.
Argo
was founded by Brian Salesky, who was responsible for the hardware of
Google robotic cars, and a leading developer of software for autonomous
driving at Uber, Peter Rander. The service agent developed his own robotic robot technology and
joined the department of the University of Carnegie Mellon in
Pittsburgh, where Salesky and Rander were once.
Asked as never before: specialists for autonomous mobility
While
the big manufacturers are pushing up the pace in the development of
self-propelled cars, top developers, who are self-employed, are buzzing.
The Ford rival General Motors took over the start-up cruise for about 600 million dollars last year. Over 680 million dollars for the only months-old start-up Otto, which developed technology for self-propelled trucks. Otto co-founder Anthony Levandowski, a pioneer of Google's robotic
vehicle program, is now working on self-propelled cars at Uber.
Also
the former head designer of Google cars, Chris Urmson, and the former
head of the "Autopilot" program at Tesla, Sterling Anderson, now want to
elaborate their own technology in a start-up. However, they were sued by Tesla.
At the same time, in addition to motorists and tech companies,
industry suppliers also work on technology for autonomous vehicles.
Ford is working hard to get ahead in the race for the car of the future. To this end, SAIPS, a company specializing in the development of
self-learning machines, was already bought from Israel and invested 75
million dollars in Velodyne, a developer of laser radars.
In addition, Ford plans to double the number of employees in Silicon Valley by the end of 2017 to around 260. In
addition, the Autoverse is also heavily based on electric and hybrid
drives - by 2020, the development of 13 new models will be worth 4.5
billion dollars. The share of such vehicles in the total offer is to increase from currently 13 to 40 per cent.
