At this year's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, hackers have turned their attention to the home - showing how to control everything from burglar alarms to TVs.<br />
<br />
“You are about to enter one of the most hostile environments in the world,” says the ticket. “Do not use the Wi-Fi network. Change your passwords immediately after leaving Las Vegas.”<br />
<br />
The annual Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas is a Mecca for hackers - where security researchers and self-styled hackers show off vulnerabilities in everything from PCs to hotel door lock systems.<br />
<br />
This year, hackers have turned their attention on the home - hacking everything from door locks to burglar alarms to televisions. One group even showed how to hack an electronic toilet.<br />
<br />
One researcher showed off an Ocean’s Eleven-style hack that allows people to “replace” the video in surveillance cameras.<br />
<br />
<b>Is your smart TV watching you? </b><br />
<br />
“Smart TVs” - internet-connected televisions - can be hacked, according to researcher SeungJin Lee, allowing attackers to “watch” families through webcams, and working even if the victims try to turn the set off.<br />
<br />
More than 80 million Smart TVs sold around the world in 2012, Lee says - but, “we hardly see security research on Smart TVs.” Lee showed off an attack on a Samsung television that allowed him to insert fake news stories into a Smart TV’s internet browser.<br />
<br />
<b>Hacking your front door</b><br />
<br />
There are 200,000 “home automation systems” in UK homes, allowing people to unlock their front door with a touch of a button - but researchers warn that it’s all too easy for hackers to do the same.<br />
<br />
 “Connecting things to a network opens up a whole range of vectors of attack, and when you are talking door locks, garage doors, and alarm controls it gets scary,” says Trustwave consultant Daniel Crowley. “If someone can access your home network, but doesn’t have a key to your home, they can still unlock your door and get in,” Crowley said of what he found in gear on the market.<br />
<br />
All  hacker needs to do is break into a home network - either through badly protected wireless routers, or malware on a PC.<br />
<br />
The “Black Widow” iPhone charger which hacks your phone in 60 seconds<br />
<br />
Watch where you charge your iPhone. Georgia Tech researchers have shown off a charger which silently hacks any iPhone plugged into it, inserting an infected version of the Facebook app which then spies on users.<br />

<br />
The 25-year-old royal footman who helped announce the birth of Britain's Prince George<br />
 has returned home to India.<br />
<br />
Badar Azim joined Queen Elizabeth II's press secretary at Buckingham Palace's front court on July 22 to post the traditional bulletin announcing the birth of the third in line to the British throne.<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, Azim returned to his home in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata after his work visa expired.<br />
<br />
He told India's New Delhi Television on Thursday that announcing the prince's birth was an "amazing" experience and that one day he would love to return to work at the palace.<br />
<br />
Azim said he did not seek a visa extension and wanted to spend time with his family after being away for four years.<br />
<br />
"If I have a new visa, then why not," he said of possibly returning to work at the palace. "It would be a privilege to work with the royal household."<br />
<br />
Azim's parents, who like millions of people were glued to their TV ahead of the royal birth, said they were extremely proud of their son. A day after the prince was born, many newspapers carried photographs of Azim walking at Buckingham Palace with the press secretary, Alisa Anderson, carrying the birth announcement.<br />
<br />
For now, Azim is back in the one-room apartment he shares with his parents and brothers, returning in time to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid, NDTV reported.<br />
<br />
His father, an iron welder, struggled to put Azim and his siblings through school.</div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">Breaking your heel on a red carpet might be considered a Hollywood starlet's worse nightmare, but that's not the case for Shailene Woodley.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
While at a screening in Los Angeles on Tuesday night for her new film, "The Spectacular Now," the 21-year-old actress's heel snapped while she was standing and talking to reporters.</div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_16_1375331804153_421" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
"I'm so freaking stoked," <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1375279507816_6" style="cursor: pointer;">Shailene</span> told <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1375279507816_4" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;">omg</span>! about the mishap. "Now I have to go barefoot."<span class="yui-blog" style="height: 10px; width: 10px;"><span id="more-id"></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
For what it's worth, we did witness the heel breaking in two.<span id="more-23071"></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_16_1375331804153_424" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
"You witnessed it!" Woodley told omg!. "So when people are like '<span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1375279507816_7" style="cursor: pointer;">Shai</span>'s such a hippie, she does the red carpet without shoes, how disrespectful,' you can be like, 'She broke her heels and her shoes!'"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
Woodley has been known to put an interesting foot forward on event carpets before.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
While "The Descendants" star was at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards, she posed for pictures on the carpet sans shoes, and after the Golden Globe Awards that same year, the nominee ditched her heels for barefoot running shoes. The actress was spotted wearing the same athletic footwear when she touched down at LAX on Saturday.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">So what gives … no webbed shoes tucked away in Shailene's handbag in case of fashion emergencies Tuesday night?</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">"I do have them!" she laughed. "I don't know where they are right now, in the car somewhere."</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">"Shai would be going barefoot whether her shoes snapped or not," her "Spectacular Now" co-star Miles Teller chimed in.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">Heels or no heels, Shailene looked gorgeous in a black Prabal Gurung ensemble with minimal makeup and her hair pulled back in a ponytail for the screening at Vista Theater.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">"I chose this outfit because it's comfortable and this [necklace] is badass," Shailene explained. The "Divergent" actress is particular (in a good way) and very self-aware when dressing for events. "My necklace is from a little shop in Venice Beach. I just loved all the different stones, jade, and the turquoise is from Hawaii."</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">Following the screening Shai, Miles, and the rest of "The Spectacular Now" cast celebrated the last day of their press tour at Rockwell bar in Los Feliz, California.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">Woodley — who will be starring alongside Miles again in "Divergent" — appeared to be having a blast as she mingled with Teller and the crew. While she ditched her formalwear for jeans and a blouse, those who are keeping shoe tabs on the former "Secret Life of the American Teenager" star will be interested to know she found replacement heels for the after-party.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.390625px;">Now, would a hippie do that?!</span></span></div>

<div>
Who is that man swimming in Kevin Federline's XXL clothes? Why, it's Federline himself! It appears that the previously portly dancer, rapper and ex-husband/baby daddy of Britney Spears has shed the weight that made gossip headlines in previous years.</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Federline was spotted this week leaving the movies with girlfriend Victoria Prince in Calabasas, California with a significantly smaller gut. It appears he hasn't upgraded his wardrobe since his bigger days, so the dancer looked lost in his baggy t-shirt and gym shorts. But that's kind of his look!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Federline, known as K-Fed, stands at six-feet tall and at one point weighed 232 pounds—a vast difference from the fit, hard body he had when he was a back-up dancer for Britney Spears in the early 2000's. The dancer and failed rapper took to the small screen to bank on his weight gain, appearing on 'Celebrity Fit Club' in 2010, successfully losing thirty pounds. But he eventually gained the weight back. In 2012, Federline appeared on another weight loss show called 'Excess Baggage' from Australia. During filming, he was sent to the hospital twice, first for heat stress and again for a minor heart attack a month later.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Federline was thrust into the spotlight when he was briefly married to pop star Britney Spears from 2004 to 2006. The couple have two children. After the high-profile relationship ended, Federline attempted a rap career (his debut was one of the worst-received albums ever) and has had small roles on several TV shows.</div>

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was snapped on the beaches of Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on Monday, rocking an unusually demure black and white striped two-piece. The doting mom, who was there with fiancé Jionni Lovelle and their adorable 11-month-old son Lorenzo, was looking better — and more classy — than ever.</div>
<div>
<div>
The 25-year-old left the teeny tiny two-piece at home, opting for a much more covered up bikini with high-waisted bottoms — a far cry from the crazy cut-out suits we always used to see her sporting on "Jersey Shore."</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

From her style to her lifestyle, the hot mama has definitely grown up; who could forget her infamous drunk beach scene on season three of the hit show? It's nice to see how the brunette beauty has transformed into quite the loving mom!</div>

<div>
<div>
Actor Wes Studi, who appeared in "Dances with Wolves" and "The Last of the Mohicans," was arrested early Friday for aggravated drunken driving in New Mexico, authorities said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to a criminal complaint, Studi, 66, was arrested around 1 a.m. while at a stop sign in Santa Fe. The actor was in a 2005 black Volvo with two front tires blown out, Santa Fe police said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before officers arrived, a witness saw Studi try to "repair the vehicle's damaged tires in the middle of the road without the vehicle lights on," the complaint said.</div>
<div>

<a href="http://worldofnews360.blogspot.com/2013/07/more-reasons-youll-be-cutting-your.html">More Reasons You’ll Be Cutting Your Cable TV Cord Next Year</a></h2>
<div>
<div>
The past decade has seen an explosion of new ways to watch TV shows and movies, challenging the old cable television model. But 90% of American households still pay up. And less than 5 million U.S. viewers rely solely on services such as Netflix (NFLX) and Hulu, according to the Convergence Consulting Group. But cable haters rejoice, there will be even more reasons to clip that cord over the next few years.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“We’re in a radically changing period – there are a lot of disruptors in the marketplace,” says industry veteran Kay Koplovitz, who headed USA networks in the 1980s and launched the Sci -Fi Channel (now Syfy) in the 1990s. Cable networks won’t be disappearing entirely — they still have too many shows people love, not to mention live sports and news. But the options for those who want to opt out are multiplying, she says.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>More original fare</b></h3>
<div>
Pretty much since Tony Soprano first picked up his baseball bat on HBO, premium cable channels have dominated the market for critically acclaimed television shows. This year, Time Warner-owned (TWX) HBO nabbed 108 Emmy nominations for original series ranging from "Game of Thrones" to "Girls." The total topped that of any network and was more than old-school networks NBC and CBS (CBS) had combined. Want to watch HBO – even on the Internet? You still have to spring for cable.</div>
</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Niche channels about everything</b></h3>
<div>
Tired of watching what everyone’s watching, a lot of young people are watching what nobody’s watching. Jenna Mourey, known as Jenna Marbles on YouTube, has more than 10 million subscribers to her personal video blog series focusing on beauty and relationship advice. Machinima grew out of a gaming-focused website, and its Youtube channel has almost 9 million subscribers. That's sending a strong signal to many other content providers.</div>
<div>
Anthony Wood, CEO of the set-top box maker Roku, predicts a lot more homemade channels covering everything from tech gadgets and video gaming to cooking and food will proliferate. Some channels will aggregate small video bits, like a micro news service that plays one clip after another.</div>
<div>
That’s not to say there’s no room on the Internet for somewhat more mainstream fare that’s closer to what cable channels provide today. Music video “channel” Vevo is available online, on phones and tablets and through Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox or Roku. The ad-supported music station shot into the top 10 most watched Roku stations almost instantly after being added at the end of last year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Boxes, dongles and doohickies</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It seems like most cable boxes are stuck back in the dark ages, but Silicon Valley is working hard to build ever-better TV controllers for Web services.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Google (GOOG) got every would-be cord cutter drooling on Wednesday when it announced its new Chromecast dongle. The tiny, plastic device plugs into the back of a TV set through an HDMI port and connects to the Internet over Wifi. Users pick what they want to watch on a laptop, phone or tablet and the Chromecast pulls down the video to the television set. Initially, the dongle works directly with Youtube and a few other providers, though it can also connect with a browser to watch most other Web video.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Competitors such as Apple TV (AAPL), Roku and Microsoft’s Xbox are no doubt already revving their next versions to compete with Chromecast. Many are expected to copy the Chromecast model that allows viewers to search for content and select it using the touch screen of their phone or tablet while watching playback on a big TV screen.</div>
<div>
Moving beyond pokes and taps, users will be able to control the upcoming Xbox One with voice and body gesture commands.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“We all have way too many remote controls, and [channel guides] can be very confusing,” says Kay Koplovitz. “I’d rather say ‘let me see what’s on the Discovery Channel,’ or ‘where can I find the Australian Open?’”</div>
</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://worldofnews360.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-wolverine.html">The Wolverine</a></h2>
<div>
<div>
The Wolverine mythos meets samurai lore and yakuza nastiness in the latest entry in one of Hollywood’s most enduring franchises. The Wolverine seems to have been made one eye on fans of the X-Men set of movies and another on the lucrative Asian market, especially Japan. Claws clash with swords and the often bare-chested Wolverine takes on black-suited men in an attempt to infuse exotic flavour into an increasingly stale series.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As is de rigueur for movies based on Marvel comics, The Wolverine takes off from events in the last of the three X-Men movies, The Last Stand (2006), rather than from the spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) or from the origin yarn, X-Men: First Class (2011). James Mangold’s movie attempts to further carve out an ex-X-men identity for the mutant with the fictional metal alloy adamantium fused to his skeleton, retractable claws, and the ability to heal instantly from his wounds.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The grumpy mutant also known as Logan (Hugh Jackman) is scowling about a forest and marking his territory like an animal when he is summoned out of hibernation by Yashida, a Japanese soldier whose life he had saved several years ago. Yashida (Hiroyuki Sanada) is now the vastly successful but seriously ailing boss of a financial empire who attempts to drive a Faustian deal with Logan: give me your healing power and I will grant you the gift of mortality, he says.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Logan doesn’t initially bite but is forced to by family intrigue, bloodthirsty yakuza and Svetlana Khodchenkova’s evil mutant Viper, whose flicking tongue and poisonous breath makes her a memorable villain. Famke Janssen, who played the mutant Jean in previous editions, and who was the love of Logan’s life (despite a dalliance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and some dainty snogging in The Wolverine), returns as a ghost who eggs on Logan whenever he is anxious or doubtful, which is all the time.</div>

<div>
Google (GOOG) has already given the world $300 phones and $200 tablets, but the newest gizmo from the House of Android comes in at a cool $35.</div>
<br />
Dubbed the Chromecast, the 2-inch, black plastic dongle connects to a television set via the HDMI port to give access to all kinds of Internet stuff, including YouTube videos, movies and TV shows from Netflix (NFLX), and, coming soon, music from Pandora (P). It can also pull down almost any other Web content that’s viewable on a computer in Google’s Chrome browser.<br />
<br />
Users can control the Chromecast with any of the full range of popular computing devices – an Android or Apple (AAPL) phone or tablet, a Windows or Mac computer and even via Google’s pricey Pixel Chrome laptop.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
But unlike Apple’s Airplay feature, which sends video to a TV set via streaming right from an iPhone or iPad, Chromecast makes its own connection to the Internet from home wifi networks. The user’s phone, tablet or laptop functions as a remote control.<br />
<br />
And Chromecast can start playing a video on orders from one person’s phone or device and then shift control to anyone else’s compatible device if desired.<br />
<br />
The new gizmo comes as Google and many rivals, including Apple, are racing to create new video services to compete with – or work alongside – cable television. Such a service could eventually flow all kinds of channels directly to a Chromecast with its low $35 entry fee.</div>

<br />
Decimated by illegal poaching, the endangered rhino has increasingly come under attack in recent years. In South Africa alone, some 480 rhinos have been killed since January, while last year there were 668 slaughters, a nearly 50% jump compared to 2011.<br />
<br />
The alarming surge in rhino killings has been fueled by unsubstantiated beliefs in southeast Asia that their horns can treat all kinds of conditions, from hangovers to cancers. Buyers in countries such as Vietnam and China are willing to pay big sums for traditional cures and this has helped create a lucrative poaching market, which is often run by sophisticated criminal syndicates.<br />
