MAPS REMOVES PALESTINE IN FAVOR OF ISRAEL!

By Ultron -



It can be the biggest silent move that google has ever made. Google has removed Palestine from its famous app Google maps. It has done it in favor of Israeli and thus created a backlash of uproar from Palestinian people, Mainstream and Social Media. Many people took to twitter to fight against this oppressive move made by one of the worlds biggest tech giant.
Much of the Middle-Eastern media, along with Twitter and Facebook users, are demanding that Google relabel the region, or even all of Israel, as "Palestine." However, the Maps app never had that label in the first place, and Google tells Engadget that a glitch is to blame for the change. "There has never been a 'Palestine' label on Google Maps, however we discovered a bug that removed the labels for 'West Bank' and 'Gaza Strip.' We're working quickly to bring these labels back to the area," a spokesperson says.

 Though Google never used (and therefore never removed) the "Palestine" label, many social media users and mainstream news sites believed that it did. That sparked a #PalestineIsHere hashtag, with many folks declaring that they'd deleted Google's services.
The outcry may be misplaced, but the incident shows the care that companies like Google, Apple and Microsoft must take with how they represent regions. That applies particularly in politically sensitive regions, where people see maps as a lot more than just a collection of data points.
Google said in a statement: 
“Google Maps makes every effort to depict disputed regions and features objectively… Where we have local versions, we follow local regulations for naming and borders.”

Warning: Hackers steal millions from ATMs using 'just their smartphones'

Cyber-robbers flee Taiwan with swag swiped from 'malware-infected machines' Authorities in Taiwan are trying to work out how hackers managed to trick a network of bank ATMs into spitting out millions. Police suspect that two Russian nationals wearing masks cashed out dozens of ATMs operated by Taiwan's First Bank on Sunday and left the country the following day. The crooks stole an estimatedT$70m ($2.2m) hours after a typhoon battered the region around Taipei, the Taiwanese capital. The two (or perhaps at least three) crooks behind the theft didn't use bank cards, judging from security camera footage. Instead, the cybercriminals appeared to gain control of the machines with a "connected device," possibly a smartphone, according to police. Targeted ATMs were made by German manufacturer Wincor Nixdorf, which admits some of its machines in Taiwan were hacked as part of a "premeditated attack." Three different (unspecified) strains of mal...

We take a raw silicone and then melt it to form an ingot.  Afterwards we spin this ingot to form a wafer which is thoroughly tested with lasers for its the precision in its sur...
