Count eight events in 2016 sector: Samsung Note7 explosion on the list-IT information
2016 is still less than 1 months time and we officially say goodbye. In this 1-year period, there were many surprising changes, and we are concerned also has many events happening in the fields of science and technology. In this article, we will be 2016 8 events in the field of science and technology inventory and review.
1. headphone jack

Long, 3.5mm audio interface is a common standard for electronic equipment in the world, but this year it has been left behind by Apple's "innovation" was spared. Although Apple think that wireless is the future of audio technology, but changing user habits is not an overnight thing. For users who still use wired headphones iPhone7 trouble apparently brought about by greater than convenience.
No matter if you think of it as courage, or horsing around, Apple has staked its bets. As to whether competitors will choose to follow, we wait for the next day.
2. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 explosion
In competition against Apple, Samsung is always bad breath. Galaxy this year Note 7 was placed high expectations over the iPhone.
From almost every side, Samsung phone was perfect: beautiful curved glass design, high resolution screen, large capacity batteries, the best photographic effect, waterproof function, memory card slot and a headphone jack. But only one problem, it will explode.
After the series of blasts, Samsung started to Note 7 users is considered to be safe, there is no explosion hazard substitution. While the user is quickly found to get a new machine, problem still exists. It's become overwhelming Note 7 of the final straw: Samsung then announced that Note 7 complete shutdown, users can receive a full refund after the return machine.
In the face of such a smart phone users at risk, and we should not treat it as a simple joke. For Samsung, this event may be a nightmare, but we also hope that all mobile phone manufacturers can learn a valuable lesson from the: in the first place should always be safe, rather than function .
3. self-driving car
This year, the automatic driving technology has developed into a high speed mode. Enhanced version of the Tesla Autopilot software will provide full autopilot functionality for all models, Uber became the first to begin testing self-driving car pool service company.
Conventional car manufacturers are not far behind. Audi has demonstrated how advanced your automatic driving technologies, GM also agreed with Lyft – these moves or makes Detroit's autonomous vehicle race played a key role in this field.
But automatically driving technology of development is by no means a smooth: in this year earlier when, Apple of Project Titan attract has quite high has concern and looks forward to, but according to latest of message, this project may has tire died abdominal in the; Google of automatically driving car also in this year encountered to has first up traffic accident (although degree very minor); and a car Tesla in Autopilot mode Xia suffered serious traffic accident, owners also unfortunately in accident in the killed.
Self-driving cars in 2016, a significant progress, but its real popularity still has a long way to go.
4. hacking activities intensified
In recent years, large-scale hacking activity is becoming more and more common. In 2016, not only did not get better, but worse.
Many organizations are email leaks politicians as a weapon, and precise plan disclosure time to gain maximum media attention.
More media, in 2014, has suffered massive hacking of Yahoo, but in a few months time, deliberately withholding information. Has been jailed for this company, this news came out, users are already running out of trust also gone away.
In the midst of all these events, most annoyed is Mirai botnet has exposed a serious Internet security problems, it was producing large scale DDoS attack directly affects the security of the Internet itself--United States mainstream collective in October, the Web site outage was the consequences it brings.
Events show that look like the future of network security to bleak.
5.Hyperloop One Palace Theatre
All companies go through highs and lows--and especially those young companies. Although most is facing the fight against outside forces, but staged a Palace Hyperloop One play.
In just 2 months of time, Hyperloop outside One's focus from a high-speed pipeline transportation system to high-level infighting.
Hyperloop and One former Chief Technology Officer and co-founder Brogan BamBrogan because it is forced to leave and personal threats and current President Shervin Pishevar to court. Although the case has reached a settlement in November, but the damage had already been done. Although the company has been restructuring, but in 2016, the first test had been foiled.
On the 6.Apple bar FBI
Apple has done this year can be the most powerful thing is not a product release, but their strong position on iPhone privacy issues.
When the FBI case against Apple public proceedings, requirement to break when the iPhone for a terrorist, flatly refused to cook them. He said that any such attempt is tantamount to opening a "Pandora's box", makes the future of digital security into a dream.
Of events culminating in the FBI concessions – apparently they have found other ways to crack the iPhone--but the issue has led to the company President, law enforcement, privacy advocates, and even presidential candidates have to take a stand.
Although this particular event is over, but debate continues about digital privacy.
7. virtual reality: everywhere and at a loss
Virtual reality should be a bold step forward this year, but it is a pity, this technology has not yet become mainstream.
The Oculus Rift, Sony PlayStation Facebook VR and HTC Vive have been officially released, but it was found that VR software content impact does not seem to be hardware products so much. Meanwhile, Apple and Microsoft are betting on top of augmented reality, and mysterious Magic Leap was still behind closed doors, to keep us in suspense while improving their technology.
In any case, virtual reality development pace has been taken, this is a chapter of its history. In 2016, the VR is the Foundation and established ecosystem. But to be successful in the future, it also depends on whether developers can meet the needs of consumers.
8.Uber quietly obtained a dominant position
In 2016, the Uber is no longer a simple ride company.
The market capitalisation of US $60 billion company has begun testing self-driving cars, also unveiled a flight plan. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's unprecedented $3.5 billion investment will also help Uber continued to occupy the world.
However, the Uber development path has not been smooth. In London, and France have encountered legal problems, United States drivers required fully as an employee of the local labor and social security. Mention that they almost completely gave up the Chinese market.
盘点2016年科技界八大事件：
三星Note7
爆炸上榜 - IT资讯
2016年还有不到1个月的时间就要和我们正式说再见了。在这1年的时间里，发生了许多让人意外的变化，而我们所关注的科技领域里也有许多大事发生。在本文当中，我们就将对2016年科技领域里的8个重大事件进行盘点和回顾。
1.耳机接口
每年发布的新款href="http://iphone.ithome.com/" target="_blank">iPhone绝对是科技领域里关注度最高的产品之一，而苹果今年在href="http://iphone.ithome.com/" target="_blank">iPhone7身上取消耳机接口的决定在未来数年时间里都将对整个业界产生影响。
长久以来，3.5mm音频接口一直都是世界范围内一个通用的电子设备标准，但它在今年却没能从苹果的“创新”当中幸免。虽然苹果认为无线才是音频技术的未来，但改变用户习惯可不是一朝一夕的事。对于还在使用有线耳机的用户而言，iPhone7所带来的麻烦显然要比便捷性更大。
不管你将其看作是勇气还是胡闹，苹果已经押下了自己的赌注。至于其他竞争对手是否会选择跟随，我们只有在接下来的日子里拭目以待了。
2.三星Galaxy Note 7爆炸
在对抗苹果的竞争当中，三星总是差那么一口气。而今年的Galaxy Note 7也被寄予了干翻iPhone的厚望。
从几乎每一个方面看，三星的这款手机都非常完美：精美的曲面玻璃设计、高分辨率显示屏、大容量电池、最优秀的拍照效果、防水功能、内存卡插槽、还有耳机插孔。但只有一个问题，它会爆炸。
在接连多起爆炸事件发生之后，三星开始向Note 7用户提供被认为是安全、没有爆炸隐患的替换机。而用户在拿到新机器后很快发现，爆炸问题依然存在。这也成为了压垮Note 7的最后一根稻草：三星随后宣布Note 7彻底停产，用户在退换机器后可获得全额退款。
在面对这样一部会将使用者置于危险当中的智能手机时，我们不应该把它当作一个单纯的笑料。此事件对于三星而言或许是一场噩梦，但我们也希望所有手机厂商都能过从中学到宝贵的一课：摆在第一位的永远应该是安全，而非功能。
3.自动驾驶汽车
在今年，自动驾驶汽车技术的研发也进入了高速模式。特斯拉的增强版Autopilot软件将为旗下所有车型提供完整的自动驾驶功能，Uber也成为了第一家开始测试自动驾驶汽车的共乘服务公司。
传统汽车制造商也没有落后。奥迪已经展示了自己的自动驾驶技术有多么先进，通用汽车也与Lyft达成了合作——这些举动或将使得底特律在这场自动驾驶竞赛当中扮演关键角色。
但自动驾驶技术的研发绝非一片坦途：在今年早些时候，苹果的Project Titan吸引了相当高了关注和期待，但根据最新的消息，这个项目可能已经胎死腹中；谷歌的自动驾驶汽车也在今年遇到到了第一起交通事故（虽然程度非常轻微）；而一辆特斯拉在Autopilot模式下遭遇严重交通事故，车主也不幸在车祸中丧生。
自动驾驶汽车在2016年获得了重大进步，但它距离真正普及依然还有很长的一段路要走。
4.黑客入侵活动愈演愈烈
在最近几年里，大规模黑客入侵活动变得越来越常见。而在2016年，情况不仅丝毫没有好转，反而愈演愈烈。
许多组织都把政治人物的电子邮件泄露当作武器，并会精确策划披露时间以获得最大程度的媒体关注。
更有媒体披露，雅虎在2014年曾遭遇大规模的黑客入侵，但却在几个月的时间里故意知情不报。对于这家已经身陷囹圄的公司而言，此消息一出，用户们原本就所剩无几的信任恐怕也荡然无存了。
而在所有这些事件当中，最糟心的要属Mirai僵尸网络所暴露出的严重物联网安全问题，它所制造的大规模DDoS攻击直接影响到了互联网本身的安全——美国主流网站在10月份出现的集体宕机事件正是它所带来的恶果。
种种事件表明，网络安全的未来看样去一片黯淡。
5.Hyperloop One宫斗大戏
所有公司都会经历高潮和低谷——特别是那些年轻的公司。虽然大多数的斗争面向的是外部力量，但Hyperloop One却上演了一出内部宫斗戏。
在仅仅2个月的时间里，外界对于Hyperloop One的关注焦点就从超高速管道交通系统转为高层内斗。
Hyperloop One前首席技术官兼联合创始人Brogan BamBrogan因为被逼离职和受到人身威胁而将现任总裁Shervin Pishevar告上法庭。虽然此案已在11月达成和解，但伤害已经造成。这家公司虽然已经重组，但在2016年进行首次测试的承诺已经成为泡影。
6.Apple杠上FBI
苹果在今年所做的最具冲击力的事情可不是产品发布，而是在iPhone隐私问题上表明自己的坚定立场。
当FBI对苹果提起公开诉讼、要求其破解一名恐怖分子的iPhone时，库克直截了当地拒接了他们。他说，任何类似的尝试都无异于打开一个“潘多拉魔盒”，让未来的数字安全变成痴人说梦。
事件的最终结果是FBI让步——他们显然找到了破解该iPhone的其他方法——但这一问题却致使公司总裁、执法部门、隐私权倡导者、甚至是总统候选人的纷纷表明立场。
虽然这个具体事件已经过去，但有关数字隐私权的争论还在继续。
7.虚拟现实：无处不在又无所适从
虚拟现实原本应该在今年大步向前迈进，但遗憾的是，这项技术至今也没有成为主流。
Facebook的Oculus Rift、索尼的PlayStation VR和HTC Vive都已经正式发布，但人们发现，VR软件内容的冲击力似乎并没有硬件产品那么大。与此同时，苹果和微软把赌注押在了增强现实上面，而神秘的Magic Leap依然在闭门造车，在吊我们胃口的同时改进着自己的技术。
无论如何，虚拟现实的发展脚步已经迈开，这也只是其发展历史中的第一章而已。在2016年，VR所做的是奠定基础并建立生态系统。但想要在未来取得成功，这还得取决于开发者是否能够满足消费者的需要。
8.Uber悄无声息获得统治地位
在2016年，Uber不再是一家单纯的共乘公司。
这家市值600亿美元的公司已经开始了自动驾驶汽车的测试，还公布了一个飞行车计划。与此同时，来自沙特史无前例的35亿美元投资也将帮助Uber继续占领世界。
但是，Uber的发展道路也并非一帆风顺。他们在伦敦和法国都遇到了法律问题，美国本土的司机则要求获得作为雇员的全面劳动保障。更别提他们还几乎彻底放弃了中国市场。
