HP t410 AIO Smart Zero Client does single-wire Power over Ethernet, no power cord required

Now, we don’t normally cover this sort of networking equipment, but we were quite impressed by HP’s new t410 All-in-One Smart Zero Client after we spoke to its proud product manager Walt Jurek. First of all, this isn’t an AIO desktop PC, nor is it an LCD monitor — well, if you’re unfamiliar with thin clients, just think of this as an 18.5-inch, 1,366 x 768 LED-backlit monitor (featuring a 3M technology for the 200 nit brightness — our money’s on the Uniformity Tape) that uses just one Ethernet cable to get both its 13W power from a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch, as well as data connection over Citrix, Microsoft or VMWare protocol. The t410 can automatically detect the virtualization environment and then reprogram its digital signal processor when needed, meaning less manual work for the admin (in theory, anyway). More after the break.

Back at this year’s eventful CES, Nuance announced it was launching a platform to bring voice recognition services to connected TVs, among other devices. Now, just a few months later, the communications outfit’s taking credit for the voice features packed inside Sammy’s 2012 Smart TVs. Essentially, this means those speaking commands used to control the Smart Hub, applications like Skype and even web surfing are all powered by Nuance’s Dragon technology. The move itself isn’t a surprising one, given Nuance’s credibility within the industry. So, now you know who’s making it all happen the next time you’re telling that ES8000 what to do.

After completing the first study of its kind, researchers at McMaster University have discovered that very early musical training benefits children even before they can walk or talk.
They found that one-year-old babies who participate in interactive music classes with their parents smile more, communicate better and show earlier and more sophisticated brain responses to music.
The findings were published recently in the scientific journals Developmental Science and Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
“Many past studies of musical training have focused on older children,” says Laurel Trainor, director of the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind. “Our results suggest that the infant brain might be particularly plastic with regard to musical exposure.”
Trainor, together with David Gerry, a music educator and graduate student, received an award from the Grammy Foundation in 2008 to study the effects of musical training in infancy. In the recent study, groups of babies and their parents spent six months participating in one of two types of weekly music instruction.
One music class involved interactive music-making and learning a small set of lullabies, nursery rhymes and songs with actions. Parents and infants worked together to learn to play percussion instruments, take turns and sing specific songs.
In the other music class, infants and parents played at various toy stations while recordings from the popular Baby Einstein series played in the background.
Before the classes began, all the babies had shown similar communication and social development and none had previously participated in other baby music classes.
“Babies who participated in the interactive music classes with their parents showed earlier sensitivity to the pitch structure in music,” says Trainor. “Specifically, they preferred to listen to a version of a piano piece that stayed in key, versus a version that included out-of-key notes. Infants who participated in the passive listening classes did not show the same preferences. Even their brains responded to music differently. Infants from the interactive music classes showed larger and/or earlier brain responses to musical tones.”
The non-musical differences between the two groups of babies were even more surprising, say researchers.
Babies from the interactive classes showed better early communication skills, like pointing at objects that are out of reach, or waving goodbye. Socially, these babies also smiled more, were easier to soothe, and showed less distress when things were unfamiliar or didn’t go their way.
While both class types included listening to music and all the infants heard a similar amount of music at home, a big difference between the classes was the interactive exposure to music.
“There are many ways that parents can connect with their babies,” says study coordinator Andrea Unrau. “The great thing about music is, everyone loves it and everyone can learn simple interactive musical games together.”

Posted by on May 10, 2012 at 3:01 am | Last modified: May 10, 2012 3:02 am4 hrs.
Bad news:?Login information for more than?55,000 Twitter accounts was posted by “anonymous hackers” on Tuesday.
Good news: Most of the accounts on that list apparently?belong to spammers.
News of data dump was first reported on?Airdemon, a blog dedicated to hacking-related topics. It was explained that it took more than?five pages on Pastebin???a website on which text can be stored for pre-determined time periods?? to fit all the leaked account?information and that users should check if their own accounts were compromised.
The folks from Twitter quickly pointed out that there were more than?20,000 duplicate items in the leaked list and that many of the logins appear to belong to accounts suspended for spamming.?They added that they’re investigating the situation and have forced potentially affected account owners to reset their passwords.
When asked to elaborate on the incident, a Twitter?spokesperson provided the following statement?? which basically rehashes those details:
We are currently looking into the situation. In the meantime, we have pushed out password resets to accounts that may have been affected.?For those who are concerned that their account may have been compromised, we suggest?resetting your passwords?and more in our Help Center.
It’s worth noting that, so far, we’ve discovered that the list of alleged accounts and passwords found on Pastebin consists of more than 20,000 duplicates, many spam accounts that have already been suspended and many login credentials that do not appear to be linked (that is, the password and username are not actually associated with each other).
So?what’s the takeaway?
Well, someone leaked a pile of Twitter passwords. We don’t know how he or she acquired this information?? phishing, hacking, accessing a spammer’s secret password stash, or some other method. So all we can really do until there’s more information is simply make sure that we regularly change our passwords and use common sense while navigating the good ol’ Internet.
Want more tech news, silly puns, or amusing links? You’ll get plenty of all three if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts, or circling her?on?Google+.

Posted by on at 12:53 am | Last modified: May 10, 2012 12:53 amTUESDAY, May 8 (HealthDay News) — Being physically active might lengthen the lives of people with breast and colon cancer, a new study suggests.
Exercise may also benefit patients with other cancers, but there is no substantial evidence to make that claim, the researchers added.
“We have lots of data that says physical activity after a cancer diagnosis is generally safe and is associated with many improvements in overall quality of life, and these data suggest that it may even be beneficial in terms of prolonging life,” said lead researcher Dr. Rachel Ballard-Barbash, associate director of the applied research program in the division of cancer control and population science at the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
“For many years, we have tended to think of a diagnosis of cancer being fatal, but as we are diagnosing people much earlier and receiving effective treatment, they’re living for a long time with their cancer,” she said.
Cancer is becoming more of a chronic disease, Ballard-Barbash explained.
“Because of that, many people actually are at risk for other chronic diseases, like heart disease, diabetes and hypertension, and physical activity is well known to be beneficial for these conditions,” she added.
The report was published in the May 8 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
For the study, Ballard-Barbash’s team analyzed 27 observational studies published between January 1950 and August 2011 that looked at cancer survival and physical activity.
The evidence of these benefits was strongest for breast cancer patients, where exercise significantly reduced death from all causes including breast cancer, the researchers found. Strong data also existed for improved survival among colon cancer patients.
The researchers also looked at other randomized controlled studies that suggested exercise benefited patients in a variety of ways, including improving insulin levels, reducing inflammation and possibly improving the body’s immune system.
Dr. Edward Giovannucci, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health and author of an accompanying journal editorial, said that “even though direct cancer effects of physical activity are not definitively proven, given that physical activity is generally safe, improves quality of life for cancer patients and has numerous other health benefits, adequate physical activity should be a standard part of cancer care.”
“The vast majority of cancer patients will likely benefit to some degree from physical activity,” he added.
Few factors have shown as much promise in extending the lives of cancer survivors, Giovannucci wrote.
“Many treatments may increase survival, but at a cost of quality of life; physical activity may not only extend life but also enhances its quality,” he added.
Samantha Heller, a dietitian, nutritionist, exercise physiologist and clinical nutrition coordinator of the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital, in Derby, Conn., said that “we have evidence to suggest that physical activity not only improves survival of people living with cancer, but it also decreases the risk of many other chronic diseases.”
“Conversely, physical inactivity has been associated with many cancers including breast, colon, prostate, pancreas and melanoma,” she said.
Because of certain chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments for cancer, survivors may be at an increased risk of additional cancers and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, Heller said.
“Therefore, a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise and a healthy diet is essential for survivors to reduce the risk of cancer recurrences and other diseases,” she said.
Regular physical activity also improves sleep, psychological and emotional well-being and helps manage stress, Heller said.
“The number of cancer survivors is, happily, growing in the U.S.,” she said. “We need to get the word out to them that exercise, whether it is walking, dancing, running, swimming or hula hooping, will boost their health, fitness level and quality of life.”

Posted by on May 9, 2012 at 5:41 am | Last modified: May 9, 2012 5:41 am 
Apple and Nokia agree that a smaller SIM card will aid them in their quest to create better phones for us all, but the two disagree about what that new SIM should look like. You see, Nokia claims that Cupertino’s proposed card violates ETSI’s — the standards body that’ll make the final call on the one nano-SIM to rule them all — requirement that the nano-SIM design preclude people from fitting it into a microSD slot. Well, that complaint didn’t fall upon deaf ears, as Apple apparently put SIM maker Giesecke & Devrient to work making a new version that solves the problem with some additional plastic in all the right places. Of course, this new design doesn’t address Nokia’s claims that its design is technically superior, so it’s unlikely to win approval from its Finnish opponents. While Apple’s new nano-SIM seems to eliminate one hurdle in its way, RIM’s accusation that Apple’s attempt to rig ETSI’s decision in its favor has yet to be dealt with. That means it’ll be a bit before we know if Cupertino’s plan for nano-SIM domination will succeed. Stay tuned.

Gluten, you have been put on notice by Kim Kardashian.
The reality star took a break from her packed schedule of red carpet appearances and staged photos ops this weekend to go on a Twitter rampage. Among the items she linked to:
- The video for “Follow the Leader” by Wisin & Yandel, featuring Jennifer Lopez.
- These profound words by pal Brittny Gastineau: The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest.
- And an old Instagram photo of herself as a blond, donning lingerie and bondage boots and including the simple caption: Gluten free is the way to be…Oh Hi.
Miley Cyrus also slammed Gluten recently, explaining away controversy over her own Twit pic by saying she’s taken up this diet and she recommends it to all followers.
Poor Gluten. That protein composite is getting worse press these days than Patricia Krentcil.
