The makers of video games in the world adopted the revolution in three dimensions , following the Hollywood film studios for the development of a new generation of products, something that is perceived as risky because few homes equipped for it .

In the hall of videogame Gamescom , the fair on interactive games and entertainment most important in Europe, which began Wednesday in the city of Cologne (West Germany), the market leaders submitted until Sunday, their new products and the incorporation of animation revolution in relief ( 3D) in their creations.

As an example, the Japanese giant Sony unveiled its latest like driving a rally car with a scene in relief or feeling in a game of tennis as the ball comes to a virtual .

“We are asset (in this segment) and propose a wide range of products to market, ” the AFP said Kazuo Hirai , head of Sony’s entertainment division , referring to the increasingly important niche in this market billionaire.

“The number of units ( recipients of this technology) needs to increase. To do this we need to develop video games, 3D TV , 3D movies in Blue- Ray discs , “said Kazuo Hirai, whose group has a special interest in the development of these technologies is the leading manufacturer of compatible displays .

Sony expects 10% of TV sales this year are of compatible devices for animation in relief and develops 3D technology which does not require special glasses .

Industry experts estimate that a wide selection of titles is crucial to convincing consumers who purchase compatible displays , that the market sell for about 1500-2000 euros needed for polarizing glasses .

The web giant Google and Facebook, who opted for geolocation as a pillar of development, venture beyond the limits of privacy of internet users , warning alarmed experts and nongovernmental organizations ( NGOs) .

The latest trend “geek “of the moment for those voracious consumers of technology and the internet is to offer at any time , anywhere geolocation service applied to smartphones , multifunction phones .

This service lets you put your satellite , just a few meters of error, the place where a user is . But this involves some “risks for the protection of privacy that can be quite immense.

“Imagine that in one year, may say that ‘ I was in such a place , close to that person , ‘” Alain told AFP Pannetrat , expert in the Commission Nationale Informatique et Libertés French ( CNIL ), an independent administrative entity dedicated to the protection of privacy and freedoms in the digital age.

Even more if you consider that the time to proceed with the disposal of private data behemoths like Facebook (500 million members worldwide ) or Google ( the world’s leading Internet search ) is not defined by law.

The development of geolocation can exacerbate the issues of privacy. Until now the demands are focused primarily on the difficulty to remove an account at social networking , photo, or usurped identities .

This week Facebook launched in the U.S. the new geolocation feature , which will be available “soon “in other countries .

“Facebook Places ” ( Places ) allows users to indicate social network with a single click on their cell phones where you are , know what their “friends” are close to the site and register on the website of bars, restaurants, shops …. Google had already invented a similar device named “Google Latitudes . ”

The geolocation is also explained by the success of photographic mapping service called 3D “Street View ” , which can be accessed by mobile phones or through internet. This device was widely criticized because the private data of internet users with Wi Fi were recorded by Google as it proceeded to photograph the routes.

” Knowing where are your friends (…) may be useful in everyday life but the real goal is to make money selling advertising, ” Jérôme Thorel claim representative in France of the NGO Privacy International.

This new feature opens the door for businesses to a giant digital advertising market at a time and local custom , which will compete directly with services classifieds .

This is a market of about 15,000 billion in 2010, only in the U.S. , indicates the U.S. consulting firm Borrell.

Free for members, “Facebook is one way to make money, custom advertising , “said Pannetrat , stressing that ” their economic interests are inherent to obtain much information about its users ” to propose ” as advertised ” .

Google, “the company had more information on individuals ‘ daily builds the profile of Internet users who visit tracking pages with the help of cookies , remember Pannetrat .

The place where they are, they plan to visit , the landscape that aroused his curiosity are all information that Google – which recorded in 2009 about 23,000 million dollars in advertising revenues – may operate in favor of advertisers.

An international campaign with the help of social network Facebook hopes to save the lives of 14 black bears used to protect an illegal marijuana plantation in western Canada.

Police found the drug bears during a raid earlier this month in Christina Lake, British Columbia (southwest ).

Sergeant Fred Mansveld told AFP that the police believed that the bears were attracted to the property with dog food to prevent the entry of unwanted visitors .

If the bears came to be fed by humans and lost the ability to make your own , may become hazardous and have to be euthanized , according to police officials and consevacionistas .

By Tuesday , more than 3,200 people had signed two online petitions urging the province of British Columbia that bears move to a more remote area , or take it to a sanctuary.

” The world is watching , “wrote Mary Burns, one of the more than 2,000 fans of the Facebook page . “Help save the black bears in BC . ”

The family of Canadian -American actor Jason Priestley won $ 1,250 for a fund to help pay for the needs of animals.

“We can save these bears in the short term but long term , we can improve awareness , “he told AFP the actor’s father , Lorne Priestley.

When “guys like these from Christina Lake to feed the bears, and are usually fed by humans, is a form of abuse. ”

Police are investigating two residents of the property , which could be accused of drug charges, while the conservation officer Dave Webster told AFP were investigating whether violations of standards of protection of wildlife.

The Colombian police on Wednesday continued to investigate the origin of three lists reported in Facebook threatening about 100 young people from the Department of Putumayo (South ) , which some authorities consider a ” joke ” and although there were two murders .

“The investigations continue , we have a commission there, but for now we can not report the results, “said a spokesman for the Police Directorate in Bogota told AFP.

Two young men traveling on a motorcycle were killed July 16 in Puerto Asis (Putumayo ) , according to a police report. Residents of that village said that the day after the crime showed a list of names of nine children, including those of victims , which were threatened with death if they did not leave the city.

Two other lists were disclosed by Internet then the third one on Tuesday , with the names of at least 90 young people more, some of whom have left the population.

However, in recent days it was hypothesized that the publication of the lists was a joke among students launched after the murder of two young men.

This was stated by Secretary of Government of Puerto Asis , Andres Verdugo, and some parents, who speculate that the lists may be due to a “joke “among peers.

‘ After these two deaths , apparently , as investigations by the police, young people begin to interact by Facebook and the list is created , which then increases and increases , Verdugo said .

“These emails are no signatures of any person or any group . It seems that in principle it is a joke of the youngsters through the internet , “he added .

In that sense, the father of one of the threatened told reporters that ” it is possible that in the case of threats between peers, as several listed by nicknames ( aliases) who only know them. ”

” To my son, I see quiet, he says he is not afraid because he has not done anything, ” said one man who declined to be named the newspaper El Tiempo in Bogota.

This version is connected only by wireless Internet (wi -fi). The other has a cost of $ 189 and connects to the 3G telephone network , in addition to wi -fi.
