The historic Sony scandal that ended in the courts

by

In the mid -2000s, buying records was still common. Insert them on the computer was part of the day to day, especially to listen to music or pass it to the player. But what seemed like a harmless action ended up being the entrance door to one of the biggest computer security scandals in the domestic sphere. The most disconcerting is that it did not come from a cybercrime, but from one of the most powerful music companies in the world. In the new episode of Xataka presents published on YouTubeone of our colleagues reconstructs the case of Sony BMG rootkit, a failed attempt to stop piracy that ended up violating the safety of thousands of computers. “When you put the album on your computer, the program was installed in secret and stored in a hidden folder so that you did not suppose its existence or noticese that I was doing things in the team.” The key was in the concept “rootkit”, a technique normally associated with the most sophisticated malware. “A rootkit is a program that is installed on your computer and that can execute Administrator permits. Come on, a type of malware designed to have access to your operating system, hide your own activity and access the device remote control. ”Sony hid that rootkit deliberately. On October 31, 2005, cybersecurity expert Mark Russinovich published on his blog that he had discovered “a spy program that secretly settled on his computer.” He explained that this software “was used to spy on users, their listening habits, share that information with Sony and prevent third -party audio programs from reading the album.” And not only that: “He had realized that there was no way to uninstall him, that he could damage the equipment of the users,” but hid even more problems that we will discover in the video. When the uninstalians appeared on the scene, things did not necessarily go better. There was a problem: if you filled a form to download the program that would allegedly free you from Sony’s rootkit nightmare, your browser could be exposed. “If you later entered other websites, from any of them They could access your computer”Explains our partner. The case ended in the courts and, of course, reached a huge media impact. What happened to the Japanese giant? Did you end up paying the consequences? And what happened to the affected users? You will find all this in the video. So we invite you to give the play to know the full story, because the risks do not always come from suspicious downloads, but from legitimate sources. And if you are interested in other stories about cybersecurity, we invite you to Read the article and watch the video about Bonzibuddythe spyware camouflaged in Windows, as well as When we should change all our passwords and if It is useful to have antivirus today.

Steve Jobs presented an emulator in 1999 to turn any Mac into a playstation. Sony did not even grace

by

January 1999. MacWorld Expo de San Francisco With Steve Jobs on stage. After a presentation loaded with video games and focused on how well those video games run in front of the PC versions, Jobs made Una of the most controversial presentations that have been seen in a scenario of a company of Apple’s reach: that of a PlayStation emulator. Steve’s goal was for each MAC to become a PlayStation I could run games like ‘Crash Bandicoot‘, something possible by the hand of a company called Connectix and of a software called Virtual Game Station. In an ecstatic Sony for the success of their console, they should not give credit to what was being affirmed in one of the most projection events worldwide. The punishment for the creators of the emulator? Be bought … by Sony. Turn each mac into a playstation In 1998, the field of video games for Mac was … Campo. In PC you could enjoy the Lucasarts great adventuresof ‘Warcraft‘, from’ Devil ‘, De’Age of Empires II‘And that same 1998 jewelry was born’Starcraft‘ either ‘Half life‘, But the situation in Mac was very different. There were some projects, yes, and companies like Bungie had interesting games such as ‘Marathon’, but the PC win was incontestable in the entertainment segment. A young programmer named Aaron Giles came up with one thing. Hey, if the MAC has a CD reader and the USA PlayStation CD, Why couldn’t a PlayStation game into a Mac? Giles worked for Connectix, a company founded in 1988 with a very curious story. They developed pioneer software for Mac, but with each new version of Mac OS, Apple ‘stole’ those functions that they had developed to include their own. What Apple did was buy Shareware versions of the same concept that Connectix developed, and so they did not have to make deals with the Connectix itself. Not only did they do hardware: they also took the mac from the sleeve Quickcamone of the First webcam in historythat They sold to Logitech in 1998. But the emulation was the strong point of this company and the focus of many of the developers of the same. Let’s go back to the history of Giles. The programmer began working on the project in 1998 and the truth is that, being able to read Sony’s games with a standard CD-ROM reader, the hardware part was solved. “Only” You had to focus on emulating the bios And the PlayStation environment, but by January 1999 I already had it ready. Thus, on stage, Jobs announced to the world the Game Station virtual emulator, or VGS. “Our goal is to have the best game platform in the world,” said Jobs, who showed below a photo of a playstation. “This is another video game console, the most popular at this time. Wouldn’t it be great if we could also play some of your games?” With that lapidary phrase, Jobs presented the Connectix product adding that it was an emulation software that would sell for $ 49 and that “turn your Mac into a Sony PlayStation.” Less than half of what cost a PlayStation. I imagine Sony’s executives spitting the sake when they learned that Jobs had said that. Hallucinatory “There are hundreds of games that can reproduce from the PlayStation,” said Jobs, who gave way to a Phil Schiller – world marketing director of Apple products – that did not reduce the enthusiasm or tone. Steve giving way to Phil before playing ‘Crash Bandicoot 3’ “This is very cool,” Phil began. The possibility of using a Mac, my MAC, to execute all the great playstation games quickly and economically only putting the game is a fantastic idea ” AND, Neither short nor lazy, he began to play ‘Crash Bandicoot 3’. “It is Sony’s most popular game at this time,” said Phil without cutting off a little (something that today is absolutely unthinkable) and … he began to play. That title had come out just a few months before and ran at 100% speed in a Mac (after a couple of pulls) simply by putting the CD and running VGS. The question was how. How they had been able to emulate perfectly in a IMAC G3 At 233 MHz an RISC processor at 33 MHX, being this of a completely different architecture. And the most impressive is not that, but Giles got it without using a Sony code line. Before continuing I will summarize How an emulator works. It is something that recreates the hardware and system of a console on another platform. In this case, a program that recreates a PlayStation in a MAC. The emulator makes “translator” In real time among the game instructions, which are designed for consoles hardware, to the instructions of the host device. It is something that consumes many resources because you must do a double job, but the really complicated thing is to emulate the BIOS. BIOS means Basic Input Output Sustm and is the essential software of the console that controls the start and interaction between the hardware and that console. For VGS to work, he had to emulate that bios. Giles contacted Sony to help them with the BIOS of PlayStation and, before the Japanese refusal (and an cessation and withdrawal letter by Sony), the programmer did something as absurd as great: thoroughly investigate the machine, study the original bios and rewrite it from scratchlike an own bios. It was absurd because it was a titanic task, but also great because Sony couldn’t do … nothing. Sony’s disbelief That same 1999, Connectix launched VGS for Mac and most games ran fantastically on Apple computers. There were characteristics, such as the vibration of the PlayStation command, which did not work, but it was something that impacted allowing, for 49 dollars, all the owners of a Mac have, in practice, a playstation. For sale of games it would not go wrong because a window of potential users opened, but as we said before, Sony should … Read more

Sony Wh-1000xm6, features, price and technical file

by

Sony competes on many fronts, but there is a category where it has been marking the guideline: the headphones with active noise cancellation. The WH-1000X series has been able to stay as a generation after generation, thanks to constant improvements and well-measured. Three years after WH-1000XM5it is the turn of the WH-1000XM6. An update that does not seek to revolutionize, but to refine what already worked and raise the level in sound, functions and design. Technical sheet of the new Sony Wh 1000xm6 Sony Wh 1000xm6 ARCHITECTURE Circummural headphones closed with electrodynamic transducer DIAPHRAGM Carbon fiber transducer. Diameter: 30 mm Cancellation of noise ActiveEnvironmental sound capture mode Microphones 12 Microprocessors Sony HD Noise Cancelling Processor Qn3 Sony Integrated Processor V2 Wireless connectivity Bluetooth with LE and AUDIO SUPPORT Audio formats LDAC BATTERY Up to 30 hours (with cancellation of active noise) WEIGHT 254 g PRICE 469.99 euros Refining an outstanding experience Sony has decided to reinforce the point where the WH-1000XM5 did not just shine: the sound. As we point out in our analysisalthough they were convincing, they did not stand out as much as they did in cancellation of noise, autonomy or ergonomics. The new Wh-1000XM6 point out precisely there, with a renewed diaphragm unit and a redesigned coil that, according to Sony, allows a more precise and rich reproduction in nuances. The objective: achieve a more natural audio. The company has had the support of Masterization Engineers of studies such as Sterling Sound, Battery Studios and Coast Mastering. His work does not intend to turn these headphones into a study tool, but to ensure that what we hear better approaches the original intention of the artist. In addition to the classic Hi-Res and LDAC audio support, the DSEE Extreme with Edge-AI engine is maintained, which we already knew in the XM5. Their task is to recess the compressed files in real time and return part of the dynamic range they lose during compression. In practice, this translates into a more complete sound when we use streaming services with aggressive compression. A smartest noise cancellation At this point Sony already started from a solid base. The WH-1000XM5 offered one of the best cancellations in the market, especially when the conditions were unfavorable. With the XM6, the improvement comes from the hand of New QN3 HD processorwhich multiplies by seven the capacity of the previous chip and now manages 12 microphones instead of 8. WH-1000xm6 in platinum (left), in black (right) That is especially noticeable in scenarios with unpredictable noise: train stations, full coffee shops or environments with intermingled voices. The new system, combined with the adaptive NC optimiser, automatically adjusts the cancellation according to the environment and atmospheric pressure. The ambient sound mode has also been refined, which now better filters useful noises, such as a nearby voice or an acoustic signal. All this can be managed directly from the Sony application | Sound Connect, which allows automate sound profiles or set them manually to the user’s taste. In the XM5, the calls were already a jump with respect to previous models. Even so, there was a margin of improvement in complex situations, especially with wind or changing noise. The WH-1000xm6 raises the ribbon with a new system of six microphones with beam formation and a noise reduction algorithm optimized by AI. Sony’s promise is that, even when there are conversations or background trafficking, your voice will remain clear and separated from the environment. It is not only a matter of microphones, but of how that data is processed in real time. Most comfortable, improved folding and intuitive controls At first glance, the WH-1000XM6 do not present a radical jump in design with respect to the XM5, but there are several relevant changes. The headband is now wider and has redesigned with an asymmetric profile that facilitates identifying the left and right side of a look. It is covered with vegan skin, designed to offer a gentle and smooth adjustment. The pads have also been optimized for prolonged use, with a new elastic material that seeks reduce fatigue and better block outside noise. In the XM5 they already stood out for their comfort (250 grams of weight and a uniform distribution of pressure), and the XM6 further refine that approach, maintaining that sensation of headset does not bother even after several hours of use. XM6 premiere a new folding mechanism manufactured by metal injection, designed to offer more durability and facilitate transportation. The case, by the way, has also been redesigned: now it includes a magnetic closure and is easier to transport. As for the controls, Sony maintains the tactile system to manage reproduction, calls and sound modes. The intelligent functions section has also received a good dose of novelties. From the app you can access a 10 band equalizeractivate the background Music effect to create a sensation of greater amplitude, or use the new Game EQ mode developed by Sony Inzone team to improve the audio in games. For those who travel with movies on the mobile, the WH-1000xm6 also integrates 360 reality audio UPMIX for Cinema, a space mixing technology that converts the stereo sound into a more enveloping experience, similar to that of a movie theater. Price and availability of Sony Wh 1000xm6 The Sony Wh 1000xm6 arrive in Spain at a price of 469.99 euros. They can be bought both on the manufacturer’s website and in authorized distributors.

A QD-OED TV that the witness of the best Sony OLED panel collects

by

The novel technology RGB LED From Sony was not the only thing we could discover recently at the European headquarters of the firm in Weybridge. And it is that the reason for our visit was rather knowing Your new TV line for this 2025which we knew very little or nothing. This year three new Smart TVS arrive that complete the range that the firm presented in 2024: Bravia 8 II, Bravia 5 and Bravia 3. In this article we have wanted to offer you Our first contact about Bravia 8 IIsince we had the occasion to mess with her more carefully and ended up looking like one of the most interesting models, especially for the return of the panels QD-OED From Samsung to the most up -to -date TV line of Sony. Sony Bravia 8 II, Technical Card Sony Bravia 8 II panel 4K UHD, QD-OED, 120 Hz HDR Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG Sizes 55 and 65 inches Processor Cognitive Processor XR Operating system Google TV sound Voice Zoom 3, Acoustic Surface Audio+, Dolby Atmos, Imax Enhanced, DTS: X Main characteristics Triluminos Max, XR contrast Booster 25, XR Clear Image, XR OLED MOTION, ENVIRY OPTIMIZATION PRO 6, GAME MENU 2, PS REMOTE PLAY ANDEco Dashboard 2 price To be confirmed More shine and back to the QD-OED panel to give cane this 2025 When Sony launched its exceptional in 2024 Bravia 9his strategy left us somewhat bewildered. The firm launched a panel with MINILED TECHNOLOGY after an outstanding A95L With QD-OED panel. The change of sight now makes more sense We know that the company intends to focus on the near future on RGB LED technology, its proposal to improve the minned through a backlit matrix capable of reproducing the three primary colors (red, blue and green). New Sony televisions for 2025, with Bravia 8 II to the head However, it seemed rare for Sony to abandon QD-OED technology, even more so knowing the exceptional 2022 and 2023 models that they said to become our favorite OLED models of their respective years. Recently they implied that this was not so, but that the firm has opted for A two -year launch to complete its entire Bravia range. Although by the name we can assume that Bravia 8 II is the successor of the previous Bravia 8 of 2024, the truth is that both Sony’s documentation, and our experience with the TV, made it clear that This model comes to the Sony A95L of 2023both for benefits and for the type of panel. Sony takes chest from its image algorithms with its XR processor and calibrated engineering Brief review: This Sony Bravia 8 II has a state-of-the-art QD-OED panel of Samsung that, according to the documentation provided by Sony already lack of taste it in our most exhaustive analysis, offers A maximum peak brightness level that exceeds the Sony A95L by 25%. Despite being another panel technology, Sony also compares it with Bravia 8, this time with a maximum peak brightness difference that reaches 50%. During our tests at Sony offices We were able to test it in front of Sony A95L and also next to the HX3110 reference monitor. As we could see at that time, the calibration against A95L is very similar (already outstanding in the 2023 model), although we could clearly identify that improvement in the delivery of brightness, highlighting even more that difference in certain scenes. The content we had by hand to try the TV were films in Bluray UHD as’The reborn‘,’Jumanji: next level‘And other tapes. Although it is still from the experience that a reference monitor can give us in terms of image quality, Sony takes chest from its image algorithms and calibrated engineering Offering an image with this Bravia 8 II that, in the absence of spending more time with him, gives us clues of the great work that this house has done to move the experience of that reference monitor to the home. The differences are also palpable against the high -end units of other manufacturers that Sony placed in the room next to the Bravia 8 II, especially in color reproduction through the different ‘standard’, ‘cinema’ and ‘and’ image modes.FilmMaker‘. While we did not have the opportunity to get in the room with televisions from the rest of the manufacturers, Our first impressions with Bravia 8 II give us a very good flavor from Boca in the face of the experience obtained over the last months with the rest of the televisions. Although as we have made clear before, this model is still examined in more detail in our in -depth analysis. From left to right: Sony A95L, Sony HX3110 and Sony Bravia 8 II. The image does not do justice to the real experience, but at this time we perceive a better reproduction of the color that can be seen in the tone of the skin and more shine Here the secret is again its XR processorresponsible for optimizing the contrast in the image, of reproducing the colors so that they feel alive but without reaching the feeling of being ‘artificial’, offering images that eliminate the noise without softening the scenes too much and obtain the maximum possible detail of each frame both in the regions with more shadow and in the brightest. Therefore, the processor, in addition to the calibration, are the main reasons why, although Sony mounts the same Samsung panel, there is a reasonable difference. Both for brightness, as for colorimetry and capacity of its processor, the Sony Bravia 8 II leaves us good feelings Colorimetry ends up highlighting for its way of offering ‘living’ images without being artificial or supersaturated, as we have mentioned. In the test in front of the A95L that improvement is already noticeablealthough in truth, the difference between the A95K and the A95L was more palpable and obvious at first glance.

We have convinced ourselves all these years that OLED was the most. Sony Sony with LED RGBs promise to change everything

by

Although OLED technology has advanced considerably in the Smart TVS industry, with technologies as impressive as the latest generation of panels QD-OED of Samsung or the Primary RGB OLED of LG in its new line of televisions, there are manufacturers that are betting even more for the Miniladsince it offers benefits that, in combination with the innovation that is yet to come, could put in a good squeeze those pure blacks and colors of the OLED. Sony is one of those manufacturers. And it already made it very clear to us in 2024 with its commitment to Minned technology with its Bravia 9being the type of panel chosen for its most premium televisions range after that excellent A95L of 2023. Recently, we have seen that this movement still makes more sense, since they have just presented The new technology in which they will bet in 2026: RGB LED. This is how a minied panel could behave like an oled The company has just revealed that they are working to integrate this new type of technology into their future televisions. His intention is to incorporate An RGB LED matrix to backlit the panels of its televisions (Currently, the LEDs of the retroiluminated matrix are all blue). This, unlike the most leading minied panel panel system, means that, in addition to brightness control through local attenuation zones, it could also be reached control one’s color and luminosity of LEDs of the unit that backs the panel. Conventional LED backlight system by zones. Image: Sony This would translate into a better management and control of the brightness and color of each scene, which in broad strokes could Simulate the behavior of organic and self -emissive LEDs of the OLED, but with the advantage of the greatest brightness of the Minned panels. The system allows Sony to adjust the luminance in line to the gradation of the color itself The RGB retroiluminated panel (Red, Green, Blue) would offer high density backight with the ability to Individually control the three primary colorsas indicated from Sony. The company ensures that the panel allows each RGB color to emit light independently, promising great purity in color and the possibility of reproducing a range of broader and brighter colors. It is not the first time that Sony embarks on this technology. In fact, in 2004 he showed the first LCD TV in the world with Full Array LED RGB backlit. From that moment, the company has been following this system very closely, and now that current technology allows great brightness control through local attenuation zones, it was time to boost this technology again. RGB LED system, eliminating the quantum points layer and offering control of the color and brightness of each LED in the backlit matrix. Image: Sony Sony promises a coverage of the 99% DCI-P3 color space and approximately 90% in the ITU-R BT.2020 standard. Combining independent RGB LED control with the control of the attenuation zones of its televisions, Sony promises Scenes with much more contrast and colorin combination with the already excellent brightness offered by their panels, touching the 4,000 peak nits. Color volume of each technology. Image: Sony The system allows Sony to adjust the luminance in line to the gradation of the color itself. In this way, the company promises reach much more living and bright details. In addition, the system would process the signal at high speed, with rates of up to 96 bits. That LEDs allow us to reproduce primary colors means that The panel would not need aggressive color filters in pixels such as quantum points panels. This causes less light to be absorbed during the process, which allows the panel to work more efficiently. Sony will start producing them this year, but it is not the only Sony is collaborating with Mediatek for the development of chips that will be in charge of controlling each of the individual backlit leds. According to the company, The system will begin to produce in series this yearwith the aim of integrating technology into consumer televisions and screens for content creation in 2026. The company has not been the first to announce the arrival of this technology on its televisions. In fact, signatures like Samsung, Hisense and TCl have already been encouragedwith a view to seeing the first in the market to include this technology during the second half of 2025. For Sony, entering this technology makes a lot of sense in its strategy, as the company went from considering its QD-Osed model as its most premium range to the Bravia 9 with Minned technology and its performance very close to its reference monitor. The company, with its motto ‘Cinema Is Coming Home’, aims to give priority to color reproduction as masterful in recording studios, bringing that experience home. And the combination of its already excellent Minned technology, management of local attenuation zones, and now its backlit matrix with RGB LEDs, allows you to easily facilitate that task.
