One of the complaints that had occurred after the release of Unity 6.6 and the integration of the controversial searches through Amazon called “Shopping Lens” was the use of the HTTP protocol conventional, something that could compromise the security of those transactions information.

 amazon 500x297 Canonical adds support https HTTPS to search on Amazon

Now Canonical has solved the problem with the HTTPS protocol support , which will improve the privacy of those searches and that third parties can not access the data for information on those searches.

All traffic between the lens and Ubuntu shopping is encrypted , so that data theft will be quite difficult to achieve if the curious try it.

This feature will add to the “switch” will soon be in the section of the privacy settings that allow Ubuntu 12.10 and disable those searches completely if you wish.

Jono Bacon , Ubuntu community manager, published a post in which he explains how Canonical act before the doubts generated by the inclusion of the Amazon product searches in the latest Unity.

 Search online (like Amazon) Unity may easily disable

According

Bacon, Canonical developers are working on a switch in Ubuntu Privacy Preferences that let users disable all online searches that are dispnibles in the system (for now, only the Amazon).

That means that the results will not get those results from the Internet unless you so wish, but be aware that others are disabled as well as Internet searches of Gwibber or YouTube, so you probably should create independent switches as search interest to one or the other.

Actually I can

disable those searches which are also made in Amazon Shopping uninstalling the Lens with the following command:

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

But

facilitate the switch on or off the property without having to uninstall the package. is expected to Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2, which appears today, and integrate this mechanism .

Interesting article sent to us directly Benjamin Kerensa, Community Evangelist on Ubuntu, and yesterday held an exchange of emails with Mark Shuttleworth on the issue of inclusion of results Amazon in the Home Lens of the new Unity Dash 6.6.0.

 amazon unity 500x283 Amazon Results in Unity, only a first step

A good example of an interesting use of the results of the Dash Amazon: search for books on Ubuntu

As you know, one of the novelties of the new version of Unity is the presentation of results in our generic searches Amazon in the Dash, which is not liked too many users my not-particularly-and convinced me that has provoked suspicions about the privacy and security of those transactions , that Ubuntu could turn into an interesting source of information to Amazon.

Mark Shuttleworth

tried to reassure users stating that privacy is totally not send data on those searches Amazon, as explained one of the developers of that property, and that is expected a secure protocol is integrated into such pursuits soon , but also, as he said, the idea is to offer the full search, which allows us to find not only documents on your computer, but services and products directly from Dash if they so wish.

Benjamin Kerensa

explains in his post that although he believes that the results for the shopping section are interesting, much work remains to be done, but it will be very powerful power make price comparisons of products online shopping directly from the Dash.

course that option is curious, but I still think it should have clarified Shuttleworth why Canonical takes Amazon to provide results, something that has never been clear. If Ubuntu takes a commission, as some readers comentábais in the previous post, perfect after all Canonical is a business and the goal is to make money . But it would be recommended that this decision would admit and explicasen more clearly.

For those who do not wish Amazon results on Dash, the quickest way is uninstall “Shopping Lens on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

Something that will save you from those results if you wish. It is normal for these early confusions occur with so striking a feature, and perhaps there was a little miscommunication by Canonical . Hopefully the best of them, for sure we will see a Dash increasingly powerful and versatile.

 Amazon Amazon Logo 300x60 present a smartphone with the new Kindle Fire Rumors about the launch of an Amazon smartphone appeared first time in 2011, after the presentation of Kindle Fire. This time it appears to be true: “Multiple sources” confirmed to The Verge the company of Jeff Bezos will release a smart phone with the new generation of tablet .

Remember that the U.S. company will present the successor of Kindle Fire on Thursday, within a few hours. In the same event is scheduled the appearance of the rumored phone, which we know practically nothing. According to available data, the mobile Android uses a variant similar to the tablet, based on Ice Cream Sandwich.

The smartphone have not yet been completed, so Amazon would wait a while before putting available on the market. An interesting point to note is that the device include Nokia Maps as the default mapping application. Anyway there is no official confirmation about it.

As was the case with the first generation of Kindle Fire, the “Kindle-phone” provide access to all services in the Amazon cloud and sold to low price, even considering the possibility that the company loses money. For now we have no choice but to wait for the start of the event for more details.

Track | The Verge.

Phone Kindle Kindle Amazon is working on phone, its own smartphone

To say that the smartphone or smartphone Amazon called “Kindle Phone ” is pure speculation, but it is true that there is little creativity in naming the products. Simply place you like tagline “360″, “Vita,” “Fire” or some number (such as “7″ or “8″) so we know what is spoken.

real important thing here is the background, the real news (“bombing” the writer would say): the company famous for its retail site and to popularize e-readers plunges in the market for Apple’s iPhone OS and Google Android with your own project.

According to Bloomberg, the device in question is already in development with Foxconn, transnational electronic components that already has in its curriculum with the support of the iPhone, iPad, PlayStation 3 and even the Amazon Kindle.

with the smartphone strategy would be aimed at low cost, the same market place that has become the reader-tablet Fire and that Kindle would expand the supply of content and distribution company such as books, music and movies.

The problem in question would be patents. So far this year, Amazon is involved in five lawsuits for infringement and still not resolved part of the 20 with which they had to contend in 2011.

That would prevent the company to provide official information even if it comes to November as the month in which they would be launching to the market with two new tablets.

remains to be seen if between August and September finally reveals the “Kindle-line up “for next Christmas, time in the sixth version of IOS is already available and Google will have rubbed their hands with Jelly Bean, the new Android. Indeed, in this “Festival Nuevas Bandas” excludes the Firefox OS and Blackberry because they reach 10.

reveal, have announced new features and services that enhance the latest version of Ubuntu, and one in the server field is proxy service announcement called AWSOME .

 canonical awsome AWSOME, Canonical API that connects OpenStack clouds and Amazon

This technology, which stands for Any Web Service Over Me, includes an API that facilitates the transition a cloud implemented with OpenStack for users wishing to migrate from the cloud services from Amazon.

Although not Open Source, the Amazon services have such a market share that Canonical wants to try to integrate as soon as possible, and the proxy AWSOME provide only basic functionality when working with AWS while users are encouraged to adopt the OpenStack infrastructure to use its full capacity.

So if you guys were working with the Amazon platform and that was a barrier to make the jump to Precise Pangolin and their options in the field of cloud computing, this will certainly help make that step. By the way, you have more information about the service at their official website on Launchpad and Services Division cloud of Canonical.

two large KDE music players, Amarok and Clementine , but important details about the circumstances, are the best of Linux in its category, but …

 amarok Amarok 2.5 beta1 2.5 screenie 500x277 integrate the Amazon music store

There’s a reason that I have here I have complained on occasion about Amarok and Clementine, and the lack of an integrated music store. Not because they can go directly to Amazon or wherever, but for that at least a few cents of what I spent going to stop the project in question (can be a lot of pasta).

seems Amarok developers have finally come to its senses and is already working to integrate Amazon MP3 music store in the face of near launch of its next major version, Amarok 2.5 , which should be about to appear as a beta version was released on November 6 and given two weeks for final release, which would be starting tomorrow .

Of course, the music store is not the only new Amarok 2.5 will bring with them. For sure there will be enough to tell, but as it is about to fall, when the time comes will realize it.

And if anyone asks what awaits Clementine , not the Amazon music store, but support for Spotify and Grooveshark, which is not bad.
