Letsrecyclesays “The minister's statement came as metal recycler Sims revealed the expansion of its Manchester WEEE processing site, which it believes will increase its tonnage capacity for handling WEEE by 50%.The expanded site at Stalybridge will cover 10,000 square meters, allowing greater access to and from the facility, allowing more WEEE to be received. Further plans to relocate the site's pre-shredder and move the pre-sorting process under cover to improve the operation of the site are also being considered as the start of WEEE producer responsibility looms. We only switched to the Stalybridge operation in December 2005 after outgrowing capacity at our other Manchester operation in Ashton-under-Lyne,”

The IPR was demanded by few companies from the IT world to allow companies invest in reducing the environmental impact and growing the dump of electronic items which then benefits with cheaper recycling.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive

Earth’s Environment is much harsher than ever because as tech world is evolving and more and more electronic products will be coming out and more heat is released in environment which will causes Global warming and melting the iceberg responsible for having filled us with water. So in order to reuse those products the European Community proposed a directive on waste electrical and electronics equipment or in Short (WEEE), which became a European law in February 2003, The WEEE, is a set of rules and regulations which will be seeing recycling and recovering all type of electrical materials, with the ratio of 4 kilograms per person at least per annum recovered for recycling by 2009, also this rules and The law sets limits for use by businesses, public and third party organizations or any individual who was responsible for any sale, purchase and disposal of any electrical or electronic equipment.

The symbol adopted by the European Council to represent waste electrical and electronic equipment comprised a crossed out wheelie bin with or without a single black line underneath the symbol. The black line indicates that goods have been placed on the market after 2005, when the Directive came into force.[1] Goods without the black line were manufactured between 2002 and 2005. In such instances, these are treated as "historic weee" and falls outside reimbursement via producer compliance schemes.

Countries like UK, US, England, Israel, etc--Has adopted the rule to save the planet’s environment. Israel’s Ministry Environmental Protection had circulated a memo on environmental treatment of devices and places a responsibility on manufactures to safely destroys or reuse the components. The directive have seen about 9 advancement since it foundation and on December 2011 the European Parliament and the council agreed to make a second reading vote, which will see all companies to deal their product nicely without destroying the Environment.

Facebook ‘Nearby Friends’ Will Track Your Location History To Target You With Ads

Facebook recently launched its new flagship feature called nearby Friends which will let you know if any of your friends is near to you geographically using GPS technology but recently FB discloses that they will be saving their user locations history in order to target them for ads and for market purposes. The feature go live this morning to iOs users with “Locations history” setting and in order to use the Nearby Friends this setting must be left ON.

TechCunch says “By tracking where you are, Facebook could show you more relevant News Feed stories from friends or Pages nearby. For example, if Facebook sees I’m in the North Beach district of San Francisco instead of my home district of the Mission in the South of the city, it might increase the likelihood that I’d see status updates from friends who live up there, or an Italian restaurant in the area who’s Page I Liked. It could also suggest Events happening nearby.”

It looks like when tech is evolving it evolve with some bad habits but FB will not discourage their users with some spying or something, companies like One Medical Group, Google, Dropbox and some others are trying to please their customer with line of products.

Mexican Telecommunication Law Advances Government’s Surveillance Power

Mexican government has passed a law in the parliament which will increase the power of the Mexican intelligence. The government has passed a new law regarding the technology in telecommunication companies which would bind them to give more information about their customers if government needs it. This move was taken because they need to break the telecom monopolies. Experts say that it will be used to make secret agencies surveillance more powerful. The activist in Mexico City have protested it on the streets by marching to headquarters of Televisa which the biggest broadcaster to the senate. The US government has forced to shut their surveillance program because almost the whole world knows about the spying programs that they conduct in behalf of national security but in records there is no threat but they are filled with the people personal information like credit card number, name and all.

Mexican digital rights activist LuisFernando Garcia said “Well, in our view, the censorship that it allows on the internet. Also, it puts responsibility on – third party liability as it is known – in which companies are made to make decisions on legality of the content that is generated by the users and usually, they abuse this power and they censor things that they shouldn’t. Also, we are worried about net neutrality provisions which would basically make the internet like TV; you would have to pay for special services like streaming or video games.”

If we talk about the mass surveillance, almost all the agencies spying on people but not all of them has Edward Snowden companies like Microsoft, Google were compromised by their effort and now Mexican government added a new chapter in the history of observation and almost all the companies now forced to give more information about their customers.

Microsoft Has Pulled Off all the Support For Windows XP

As Microsoft already announced that they will shut down all the support and updates for windows XP from 8-Apr-2014, so officially the legendry windows Xp operating system is dead and internet explorer too with it. Company released the Xp 12 years ago. Mean company will stop issuing the security updates and support, which will leave businesses and users vulnerable to the malware and viruses which seeks the way from internet to a users system. So after Microsoft leaving the Xp, doesn’t mean that the Antivirus provider will stop the support to the operating system. Companies like Symantec, MacAfee and Kaspersky have shown the interest in the updates for Xp. McAfee says they will update the software until it technically to do so. Over all almost all the security companies are supporting and protecting users.

TechCrunch says “The fact is you need to be thinking about transitioning away from XP no matter how attached to XP you might be. Once your antivirus vendor stops supporting it, you’re playing without a net and you don’t want to be doing that. I realize that companies have years of customizations and links between programs built into XP and I hear you chanting the mantra, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But at some point you have to simply bite the bullet and give in and, at the very least, move to Windows 7.”

So if it comes to a business, this move from Microsoft isn’t good because a business company might have to spend few more bucks to train their employee to do their work in different operating system. As Google already shown the interest into PC software, they might building the new Operating system for the PC but it will not be a good move because they’re doing great with Android phones and operating systems.

Google Shows Report About Modular Phone Project Progress Via Video

In January Google launched a program called project Ara which is totally based on the modular phone technology, in which people can change the components that enable them to add more functionality to the device. Now Google has put all the rumors to rest and announced a conference in which they will show their progress of that project. Firm has released a video which showing the quick progress and all happenings which going on behind the project Ara. Advance Technology and Project group is also working on 3 D rendering device in Google Labs which they shown in last month known as project Tango. Now the project Ara is a codename for a modular phone development on which Motorola working. The modular phones are futuristic devices which made up of few swappable components, which can be slatted together in various slots.

TechCrunch Reported “Designing an interface to explain the modular smartphone concept to users is something the video touches on, with an Ara configurator app shown to be in the works. ”We’re really trying to make this interface as simple as possible, and as spacially intuitive as we can,” says Eric Gunther, co-founder of SoSo Ltd, an interactive design studio that’s working with Google’s ATAP on the design of this app. The connecting force Google is going to use to bind all the phone blocks in each modular device is magnetism. Or “electro-permanent magnetism”, as the video puts it”

This project has making lot conversations on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Microsoft is also working on the same with Windows Phone.The video that firm launched is consisting of all the progress behind the projects and all employees and workers are telling their part and how they feel about the project.

Joe Belfiore: VP of Windows Phone Takes the Stage

The Verge Reported “The name started from a simple suggestion from Windows Phone program manager Robert Howard in an early planning meeting. It was just a codename, it stuck," explains Marcus Ash, group program manager of Windows Phone. We didn't intend for it to be the actual product name from the beginning." The fact Cortana exists simply as Cortana and not some marketing buzz like Microsoft Personal Digital Assistant Home Premium Up until a few weeks ago, it was hit and miss whether Cortana would be the final name. It could have been Naomi, Alyx, or a number of other suggestions but Microsoft chooses Cortana”

So the companies make the way for technology to evolve with their flagship features. There are several techs which already evolve like 3 D printing. With This move from Microsoft, it will lead it to the top of the mobile OS maker companies.
