El Apocalipsis de las direcciones de Internet será en abril de 2012

Cadena SER | Mayo 12 de 2010

Todas las predicciones apuntan a que en abril de 2012 se agotarán las direcciones IP ya que, según los expertos en la red, el 9 de septiembre de 2011 se entregará el último bloque de direcciones (unos 300 millones)

En la actualidad, todo dispositivo necesita de una dirección IP para conectarse a Internet y asegurarse de que los datos llegarán al destino adecuado, por eso, de estas direcciones depende la expansión de la red.

La red se ha desarrollado en torno a la versión cuatro del esquema de direccionamiento del Protocolo de Internet (IPv4, que tiene espacio para unos 4.000 millones de direcciones IP.

Si bien esta cantidad fue suficiente cuando la red comenzó a establecerse, con el rápido crecimiento de la World Wide Web (www), las reservas se han ido agotando y ha sido necesario adoptar un nuevo esquema de direccionamiento (el IPv6) que dispone de billones de direcciones disponibles; sin embargo, muchas empresas y países aún no lo han adoptado.

Según el director de tecnología de la empresa de servicios de Internet (ISP) Timico, Trefor Davies, aunque las direcciones IPv4 e IPv6 pueden existir al mismo tiempo, "no se trata de una unión libre de problemas", ya que la traducción de una dirección al formato de la otra produce un retraso "significativo"

Microsoft Releases Office, SharePoint 2010 for Businesses

By Barry Levine May 12, 2010 1:59PM

Microsoft has released Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 for businesses, proclaiming a ROI of 300 percent. Microsoft's Stephen Elop said Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 will "define the future of productivity." Outlook features e-mail management and PowerPoint can broadcast to browsers. Office 2010 features online components.

Microsoft  Relevant Products/Services's Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 became available worldwide to businesses on Wednesday. In a statement accompanying the release, which included Visio 2010 and Project 2010, business division President Stephen Elop said the products will "define the future of productivity."

The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant said it expects 90 million businesses to deploy the newest version of its suite of products, which includes the company's crown jewels of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It emphasized a return on investment through "significant productivity gains," and from the ability to use the tools from mobile devices as well as PCs.

Study: ROI of 300 Percent

In its announcement, the company spotlighted a study by Forrester Consulting that it commissioned. Using a model that focused on costs, benefits to an entire organization, flexibility and risk, Forrester put the return on investment for the 2010 releases of Office and SharePoint, as well as for Exchange and Office Communications Server 2007 R2, at about 300 percent, with a payback period of 7.4 months after initial deployment Relevant Products/Services.

The general availability of Office and SharePoint follow large beta programs, which involved three times the number of participants as the Office 2007 beta program. Because of the size of the beta release, nearly nine million users already have Office 2010, and Microsoft said more than 1,000 partners are creating Office- and SharePoint-based solutions.

New features include revised e-mail management and calendaring functions in Outlook, including Outlook Social Connector, which integrates communications Relevant Products/Services history and social-network feeds into the popular e-mail client.

In Excel, Sparklines can be used to visualize trend data, and PowerPoint has the ability to broadcast to any user with a browser. Throughout Office, users can get quick access to decision-related data as part of business intelligence capabilities.

Office Mobile 2010, for Windows Relevant Products/Services Mobile 6.5 phones, allows "lightweight editing" and is available free at the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

Office Web Apps

Perhaps the most-anticipated new components in the Office suite are the online "companions" to Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote. Called Office Web Apps, they allow users to gain access to documents from any browser. The documents retain a consistent look and feel, and multiple users can work on the same document simultaneously.

Web Apps is available to all volume-licensing customers, or a subscription can be purchased as part of Microsoft Online Services. The apps will be free to consumers when that version is released next month.

The Web Apps component is seen as a direct response to Google's free, cloud Relevant Products/Services-based Docs. Earlier this week, Google made a preemptive strike before Office 2010's formal release. Google Enterprise President Dave Girouard told news media that users should keep the version of Office they currently have, but add Google Docs, not Office 2010. He said this wasn't a pitch as much as it was a report as to how his customers are utilizing both application suites.

More Trouble for Apple: Nokia Claims iPad Infringes

Apple has made some rotten moves, according to the Finnish phone maker, Nokia. The company is in the midst of a legal patent infringement battle against Apple and has just added another claim. Along with the 10 patents that Nokia has already claimed Apple is infringing, new documents indicate the recently launched iPad 3G infringes on five more. The company filed additional claims May 5 in the U.S. District Court of Western Wisconsin, claiming Apple infringed on its speech and data patent, its design of application that uses positioning data patent, and three patents on antenna design. The battle between the two phone makers began in October 2009, when Nokia filed a suit against Apple claiming the company had infringed on patents that cover wireless data, security, encryption and speech coding. All the patents were used in the creation of Apple's iPhone, iPhone3G and iPhone 3GS, according to Nokia. Apple (AAPL) countersued Nokia (NOKA) in January saying Nokia's phones infringe on 13 of its patents. Nokia asked, in turn, for the court to dismiss the counter suit. Protecting Its Assets Nokia said it has negotiated license agreements with 40 other handset makers including the top mobile phone providers. It also attempted to form a licensing agreement with Apple, but the discussions did not progress to any agreement. Apple's unauthorized use of Nokia's technology has caused the company financial harm and damaged its reputation as a business, according to the company's most recent filings with the court. Nokia further claims that the unauthorized use of its patents allow Apple "to charge less for its products because it does not have to recover the costs of development of the technology used in the device." The iPhone maker also gains more market share that it would not have obtained if its products had to bear the costs for the patented technology, Nokia states. As a result, Nokia claims it lost its portion of the market share for the time the iPhones were used. Apple holds the second largest share of the U.S. smartphone market with 25.1 percent, according to Comscore. Worldwide, Apple sold 8.7 million iPhones and had 16.6 percent of the smartphone sales in the fourth quarter, according to ABI Research. Nokia is asking for a jury trial, undisclosed damages, and attorney and court fees. Patent Battle Marches On The legal sector will be busy in the next few years with patent lawsuits similar to Nokia's, analysts said. "Expect the patent battles to grow for the overall industry as you continue to see players coming into the mobile [arena] from the PC and the Internet worlds," said Carolina Milanesi, vice president at research firm Gartner, in the Mobile Devices Technology and Service Provider Research group. "We were reminded again last week of the importance of patents when HP announced plans to acquire Palm and cited the 1,500 patents Palm has as one of the key assets." The question many are still asking is: Why doesn't Apple just pay Nokia's licensing fees like everyone else? If Nokia has negotiated license agreements with 40 other phone and device makers, why couldn't Apple come to agreement with them? © Copyright 2000-2010 NewsFactor Network. All rights reserved.

EU creates $1 trillion package to save euro

By RAF CASERT and ELENA BECATOROS, Associated Press Writers Raf Casert And Elena Becatoros, Associated Press Writers

BRUSSELS – The European Union put up a staggering $1 trillion Monday to contain its spreading government debt crisis and keep it from tearing the euro currency apart and derailing the global economic recovery.
Analysts said the huge sum supplied the "shock and awe" markets had been waiting for for weeks, at least in the short term, and the euro and stocks soared on the news.
European leaders negotiated into the early hours of Monday before reaching a deal in which governments that use the euro would join the EU and International Monetary Fund in putting up euro750 billion in loans available to prop up troubled governments.
The European Central bank will buy government and private debt to keep debt markets working and lower borrowing costs, a crisis measure dubbed the "nuclear option," while the U.S. Federal Reserve joined with other central banks in the effort, reactivating a currency swap program used during the earlier stages of the financial crisis to ship dollars overseas to be pumped into banking systems as short-term credit.
The overnight decision immediately jumpstarted markets worldwide. The euro immediately shot back to life and up to $1.30, recovering from Friday's 14-month low of $1.2523.
Stocks too basked in the glow. France's CAC-40 stood out in Europe, surging 285.08 points, or 8.4 percent, to 3,677.67. Athens' main index was up nearly 10 percent and Lisbon's PSI 20 jumped 9 percent too.
Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average rose 1.5 percent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index added 1.3 percent. European markets jumped higher — major indexes were up more than 3 percent — and Wall Street was also expected to surge on the open, with Dow futures also 3.0 percent higher.
Officials acted after ominous slides in world stocks and the euro last week that raised fears that the debt crisis would spread from heavily indebted Greece to other financially weak countries such as Spain and Portugal. It reached the point where President Barack Obama discussed the crisis by phone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicholas Sarkozy.
Policy makers worried it could shake the world economy the way the bankruptcy of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers did in 2008, making banks fearful of lending to businesses, hammering stocks and killing off economic recovery.
It also raised long-term worries that the crisis would force a weaker member such as Greece out of the euro.
Analysts said the measures had put out the fire for now by eliminating fears that governments would lack funds to pay off their debts. But several raised long-term worries about spreading debt of budget sinners to more responsible governments, and pointed to the lack of tough rules to keep debt from piling up again.
"It buys time. We don't know if it will be enough. They're trying to give the impression that they're still united. They've bought some breathing space but that's all," said Song Seng Wun, an economist with CIMB-GK Research in Singapore. "This perhaps just postpones the inevitable, the euro may have to ultimately give way, that's the worst case scenario."
Jeremy Batstone-Carr from Charles Stanley stockbrockers said the underlying problem won't be solved unless governments stop piling up so much debt. "The last thing you give a drunk is another drink," he said. "Put differently, you cannot make any nation that is unable to service its accumulated debts more credit worthy by extending more credit."
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso promised tougher rules for member countries' spending.
On Wednesday, EU officials will propose tougher sanctions for financially wayward nations and more coordination between the governments on their economies. "We need stronger coordination, economic policy coordination," he said. It will be discussed by EU finance ministers next week.
Under Monday's three-year plan, the European Commission — the EU's governing body — will make euro60 billion ($75 billion) available while countries from the 16-nation eurozone would promise backing for euro440 billion ($570 billion). The IMF would contribute an additional sum of at least half of the EU's total contribution, or euro250 billion.
"We shall defend the euro whatever it takes," EU Commissioner Olli Rehn said after an 11 hour-meeting of EU finance ministers that capped a hectic week of chaotic sparring between panicked governments and aggressive markets.
Officials hope the massive sums will deter currency speculators from betting on a euro collapse after political posturing and soothing words failed to convince investors that Greece's financial implosion could be contained.
Markets had battered the euro and Greek government bonds even as EU leaders insisted for days that Greece's problems were a unique combination of bad management, free spending and statistical cheating that doesn't apply to other euro-zone nations.
Market jitters also partly contributed to a nearly 1,000-point drop in the Dow Jones industrials last Thursday. The Securities and Exchange Commission is meeting with heads of exchanges Monday to discuss how conflicting trading rules may have exacerbated the historic stock market plunge.
In the end, even longtime skeptic Germany realized Europe had to show the money after financial attacks on Greece's debt seemed poised to spread to other weak European nations such as Portugal and Spain. Fear of default led to investors demanding high interest rates that Greece could not pay, forcing it to seek a bailout. Many feared market skepticism would make Portugal and Spain pay more and more to borrow, worsening their plight.
Spain and Portugal have committed to "take significant additional consolidation measures in 2010 and 2011," a statement from EU finance ministers said. The two countries will present them to EU finance ministers at their meeting on May 18.
"We are facing such exceptional circumstances today and the mechanism will stay in place as long as needed to safeguard financial stability," the ministers said.
Merkel said her government would approve the rescue plan on Tuesday before parliament gave it "quick but thorough" consideration.
Separately, eurozone leaders on Saturday gave final approval for a euro80 billion ($100 billion) rescue package of loans to Greece for the next three years to stave off default. The IMF also approved its part of the rescue package — euro30 billion ($40 billion) of loans — on Sunday.
The Fed's move to back the euro defense plan reopens a program put in place during the 2008 global financial crisis under which dollars are shipped overseas through foreign central banks. In turn, these central banks can lend the dollars out to banks in their home countries that are in need of dollar funding in so-called swap agreements.
The Fed said action is being taken "in response to the reemergence of strains in U.S. dollar short-term funding markets in Europe" and to "prevent the spread of strains to other markets and financial centers." A "swap" line with the Bank of Canada provides up to $30 billion. Figures weren't provided for the other central banks involved. They include the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Swiss National Bank, and the Bank of Japan.

Hasta que Vuelvas Conmigo

Porque andas creyendo en otros
esos que no quieren verme
a tu lado y sin razón de ser
que andan diciendo mentiras
para poder separarnos
y arruinar este querer

Porque andas creyendo en otros
y perdiendo tu confianza esa que recupere una vez
mis errores fueron pocos
fueron muchos tus perdones
nunca quise serte infiel

Hasta que vuelvas conmigo
no daré la media vuelta
hasta que tu te des cuenta
que la vida doy contigo
que también te equivocaste
el culpable es el cariño

Hasta que vuelvas conmigo
no daré la media vuelta
hasta que tu te des cuenta
que este corazón herido
no querrá sentir las horas
cuando sepa que te has ido

Porque andas creyendo en otros
as que acaso mis palabras
son amargas en tu boca y en tu miel
ponle crédito a la angustia
ponle peso a la balanza
muéstrame lo que es la fe

Hasta que vuelvas conmigo
no daré la media vuelta
hasta que tu te des cuenta
que la vida doy contigo
que también te equivocaste
el culpable es el cariño

Hasta que vuelvas conmigo
no daré la media vuelta
hasta que tu te des cuenta
que este corazón herido
no querrá sentir las horas
cuando sepa que te has ido

Hasta que vuelvas conmigo
no daré la media vuelta
hasta que tu te des cuenta
que la vida doy contigo
que también te equivocaste
el culpable es el cariño

Hasta que vuelvas conmigo
no daré la media vuelta
hasta que tu te des cuenta
que este corazón herido
no querrá sentir las horas
cuando sepa que te has ido

Te necesito

siempre quieres parecerte
a tantas cosas que no eres
viajar en coches deportivos
acostarte con mujeres...
no puedo dormir
y estoy tan solo aqui
y te necesito.

he generado tanto odio
tanto odio y tanto amor
que a veces creo volverme loco
viendo como sale el sol
dentro de esta habitacion...
quisiera que como a cualquiera
algo me sorprendiera
y te necesito.

el techo es tan alto
y tan fria la pared
y tengo tanto miedo
de perderme o desaparecer.

siempre que tengas futuro
veras delante la autopista
soy un piloto de la segunda guerra
una ola que se eleva
realizando mi mision...
sobrevuelo america
y solo pienso en ti
y te necesito...

yo te necesito
y nada mas me importa solo tu.

yo te necesito.

Si tu no estas

Y me lo he dicho una y otra vez,
se que las cosas tiene que cambiar,
por que este mundo todavia no se,
si es que te importo o todo te da igual.
Y yo que trato siempre de acercarme,
de contenerme y mantener la calma.
por que entiendo que somos humanos,
y nadie tiene la verdad en sus manos.
Asi que trato no tocar el fondo por precaucion,
guantes de seda para no arañarte el corazon.
callarme cuando a veces tengo ganas de reventar,
pero el silencio seria mas inmenso si tu no estas.

si tu no estas,
mi vida se me va,
ay
se me va detras de ti.
si tu no estas mi vida,
yo no se que hare,
si tu no estas aqui.
Y me lo he dicho una y otra vez,
se que las cosas tienen que cambiar,
y mientras tanto,
yo me como el coco,
pensando si te toco o no te toco.
Y tu que dices que no es impotante,
que hay otras cosas que valoras mas,
pero lo siento soy asi de basico,
y mis instintos son bastante logicos.
Asi que espero que me des luz verde para cruzar,
y demostrarte que no soy de piedra, no no es verdad,
que de lo nuestro me preocupa todo, lo sabes bien,
y que sin ti seria casi imposible de continuar.

Y ahora no, no mentire,
no puedo seguir escondiendome,
detras del mismo escudo,
en la garganta con el mismo nudo,
y ahora no, no puede ser,
capaz que se termine todo,
y no estoy seguro,
si saltar este muro si no estas.

Día tras día

Una flor dura un verano,
un verano son tres meses.
Doce meses tiene un año,
¿puede un año ser tan breve?
como es breve diccionario para;
definir quien eres.

Un te quiero no es te amo,
un te amo no es tan fuerte,
sino es fuerte lo que sientes,
si esque sientes que has amado;
con el cuerpo y con la mente,
como yo te amo.

Salir al mundo es como
caminar en medio de una guerra,
pero a tu lado todo es mas seguro,
porque encuentro paz.
Le pido al cielo que te proteja,
que siempre estemos igual,
que me ames igual.
Yo quiero estar contigo el resto de mi vida,
que podamos estar juntos hasta el final.
Poderme despertar con tu sonrisa,
es mi alegria,
dia tras dia.

No hay dolor que sea eterno,
no es eterno un hasta luego,
hasta luego es un regreso,
no hay regreso sin encuentro
y un encuentro es lo mas bello,
cuando estamos cuerpo a cuerpo.

Salir al mundo es como
caminar en medio de una guerra,
pero a tu lado todo es mas seguro,
porque encuentro paz.
Le pido al cielo que te proteja,
que siempre estemos igual,
que me ames igual.
Yo quiero estar contigo el resto de mi vida,
que podamos estar juntos hasta el final.
Poderme despertar con tu sonrisa,
es mi alegria,
dia tras dia.

Que siempre estemos igual,
que me ames igual.
Yo quiero estar contigo el resto de mi vida,
que podamos estar juntos hasta el final.
Poderme despertar con tu sonrisa,
es mi alegria,
dia tras dia.
