  Windows 10 Creators Update Build 15025 for PC arrives on the Fast ring -- but you may not be able to run it

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 9:54pm CET par Wayne Williams

  New feature-packed builds have been coming thick and fast as Microsoft works to get the forthcoming Windows 10 Creators Update ready in time for its planned launch in April. There’s a lot of changes in the big update, and of course that means a lot of bugs to try and squash before it rolls out. Build 15025 is the version that Microsoft wants Insiders to use for the second Creators Update Bug Bash which starts on Friday, but ironically the new build comes with a major bug that means some users won’t even be able to install it.

  Artificial intelligence in retail: It's the right move

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 7:55pm CET par Michael Feindt

  Technology has long since advanced to the point where it can make decisions better than people can, and yet grocery managers are still happy to use their own experience to drive decision-making, sacrificing speed, efficiency and savings. By optimizing key strategic areas of pricing and replenishment, and automating decisions using machine learning, retailers can combine the speed of their decisions with their KPIs (margins, volumes, mark downs). Yet still retailers are not currently marrying the two in a responsive and effective way. As part of Blue Yonder’s recent survey of 750 grocery retailers across the globe, we asked some probing… [Continue Reading]

  AOC unveils 27-inch Quad HD Ultra Slim Frameless IPS Monitor (Q2781PQ)

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 6:47pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  4K and 5K displays are all the rage nowadays, but as far as I am concerned, they aren't always worth the money. With the exception of macOS, these expensive high-resolution displays don't perform well with scaling on Windows 10 and Linux. With that said, 1080p is too low in 2017. It is for this reason that I tend to prefer 2560 x 1440 resolution -- it is usable on Windows, Fedora, and macOS without breaking the bank. The sweet spot. Today, AOC unveils a new monitor with that resolution. This company is known for budget offerings, but its newest model aims more for elegance. The… [Continue Reading]

  LibreOffice 5.3 is one of the biggest updates to the office suite yet

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 6:39pm CET par Nick Peers

  The Document Foundation has unveiled LibreOffice 5.3 64-bit and LibreOffice 5.3 32-bit. Despite the point update, LibreOffice 5.3 is billed as "one of the most feature-rich releases in the history of the office suite", and is packed full of major changes affecting all parts of the application. Highlights include a new experimental (and optional) ribbon-based UI, plus a new cross-platform text layout engine. It’s also accompanied by the first source release of LibreOffice Online, for basic collaborative document editing in a browser. A new text layout engine opens the list of notable new suite-wide features. This is a cross-platform engine… [Continue Reading]

  Why you should embrace AI

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 6:26pm CET par Julien Hobeika

  Artificial intelligence (AI) will destroy jobs, robots will replace humans… We are no stranger to these talks about the evolution of AI and the rise of robots. Some go as far as predicting that one in three jobs will be replaced by robots in the next 20 years (including clerical jobs), while others preach that sophisticated software in tiny gadgets that will end up affecting our self-worthy and identity. In the meantime, studies show otherwise, and all this automation anxiety is simply overblown. The only thing professionals should be afraid of is becoming obsolete by missing the chance of turning… [Continue Reading]

  Nintendo unveils Switch Super Bowl LI commercial featuring Zelda -- watch it now

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 6:15pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  The Nintendo Switch is a game console that is haunting me. My brain tells me that it could be a failure, but my heart keeps me intrigued. I considered canceling my pre-order, but have since decided to keep it. Heck, I have even ordered a launch title -- Super Bomberman R. In anticipation of the console's March 3rd launch, Nintendo will be running its first-ever Super Bowl ad. This 30-second Switch commercial will feature the much-anticipated game "Zelda Breath of the Wild." While Super Bowl LI does not happen until this Sunday February 5th, you can watch the ad immediately online.… [Continue Reading]

  #DeleteUber campaign forces Uber to automate and speed up account removal process

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 5:21pm CET par Mark Wilson

  After failing to participate in a taxi ban around John F Kennedy airport while protests against President Trump's travel ban went on, Uber found itself on the receiving end of a good deal of flak. The hashtag #DeleteUber spent a lengthy period trending on Twitter as people voiced their disapproval of what they see as a Trump-supporting company. Irked Uber users who did not like the idea of the company seeming to profit from the refugee and immigration ban were not just flashing the #DeleteUber hashtag around, they were acting on it. But attempts to delete accounts led to frustration,… [Continue Reading]

  IT teams fall behind in automation

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 4:47pm CET par Ian Barker

  While businesses are focused on digital transformation to deliver greater efficiency and higher profits, IT teams themselves are falling behind the curve according to a new report. The survey from IT services and solutions provider Dimension Data shows that IT staff only spend 14.5 percent of their time on innovation and new projects. Automation is seen as a key enabler for optimized IT operations, but only 20 percent of surveyed companies say their IT operations are fully automated. Nine percent of organizations say they have no automation, 13 percent have limited automation, 32 percent have a medium level of automation… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 3:56pm CET par Ian Barker

  Exploit acquisition program aims to patch mobile vulnerabilities faster

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 3:03pm CET par Ian Barker

  Even after new mobile threats have been identified the number of devices in use means it can take time for patches to be rolled out to all users. Mobile threat defense company Zimperium is hoping to tackle this problem with the launch of a $1.5 million bounty program to purchase N-day exploits which have been identified but are still usable on unpatched devices. The Exploit Acquisition Program focuses on N-day vulnerabilities for Android and iOS devices. While most bug bounty programs purchase zero-days, or unknown vulnerabilities, and then develop a patch, millions of users remain at risk due to poor… [Continue Reading]

  The iPhone is mightier than the Galaxy -- Apple overtakes Samsung in smartphone shipments

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 2:42pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Apple edged Samsung to take the top spot in the smartphone market in the final quarter of 2016, thanks to very strong iPhone shipments. The Cupertino, Calif.-based vendor moved 78.3 million units, having a share of 17.8 percent, while its South Korean rival only managed to ship 77.5 million smartphones, which equates to a market share of 17.7 percent. Total shipments for the quarter were 438.7 million units, according to a Strategy Analytics report. This is not the first time that Apple beats Samsung, but it is rare for it to happen. Samsung usually has a comfortable lead over its rivals, including… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 is now on one in four systems -- but can it catch Windows 7?

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 2:16pm CET par Wayne Williams

  While Microsoft’s unconvincing numbers portray Windows 10 as an unstoppable operating system gobbling up market share, NetMarketShare’s monthly OS usage figures suggests things are going well for Windows 10, but that it will still be a long time before it starts to trouble Windows 7’s continuing dominance. January proved to be a good month for the new OS, certainly better than December was at least. Windows 10 went from 24.36 percent share to 25.30 percent globally, a gain of 0.94 percentage points. Making its way on to a quarter of all systems is a big milestone for the operating system,… [Continue Reading]

  LightBulb reduces eye strain by shifting screen gamma over time

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 2:16pm CET par Mike Williams

  LightBulb is a f.lux-like application which smoothly adjusts screen gamma to make colors seem warmer at night, reducing eye strain and making your PC more comfortable to use. Install the program and it goes to work automatically, detecting your location, figuring out the sunrise and sunset time and updating your display color temperature to match. LightBulb does its best to ensure these new settings stick, refreshing them every five seconds to prevent other apps making changes. This worked well for us, but if you have any issues or just want to find out more, LightBulb’s settings dialog can probably help.… [Continue Reading]

  EU mobile usage is about to get cheaper as roaming charges come to an end on 15 June

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 1:53pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Plans to scrap mobile roaming charges in the EU have been a long time coming, but today the European Commission reveals the charges will finally come to an end on June 15 2017. EU negotiators have finally agreed on wholesale prices, something which is being described as the "last piece of the puzzle". The cost of voice calls and text messages will be capped from this date, but there is a tapered reduction period for data charges. It is a step towards the creation of a Digital Single Market and the introduction of a "roam-like-at-home" will be welcomed by Europeans,… [Continue Reading]

  Survey reveals the true cost of data breaches

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 12:19pm CET par Ian Barker

  More than a third of organizations that experienced a data breach in 2016 reported substantial customer, opportunity and revenue loss of more than 20 percent. This is a key finding of the latest Cisco Annual Cybersecurity Report which also shows that after attacks, 90 percent of these organizations are improving threat defense technologies and processes. Steps being taken include separating IT and security functions (38 percent), increasing security awareness training for employees (38 percent), and implementing risk mitigation techniques (37 percent). The survey of 3,000 chief security officers and security operations leaders from 13 countries reveals budget constraints, poor compatibility… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 11:53am CET par Mark Wilson

  The latest builds of Windows 10 Creators Update are already starting to give us a glimpse of what we can expect to see in terms of design with Project NEON. Microsoft's latest design language emerged recently and a tweaking tool has been quick to adopt the look for itself. Fans of the old-school TweakUI will love Interop Unlock Tools not only because of the tweaking and hackery it makes possible, but also because it makes use of the Project NEON APIs to give a taste of what we are likely to see a lot more of in the months to… [Continue Reading]

  Slack sets its sights on large enterprises

  The Slack team collaboration tool has proved popular with many businesses since it first launched in 2013. Now Slack is aiming to carry its success into larger organizations with the launch of Slack Enterprise Grid, offering the adaptability to create communication structures which mirror how teams already collaborate. Grid has already been tested in big companies including PayPal, Capital One, and IBM that have been providing feedback on how it works.

  OnePlus 3T found to be cheating in benchmarks

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 11:29am CET par Mark Wilson

  Benchmarks are an important metric by which the performance of a given device can be measured. They provide a reliable means of determining whether one laptop, computer, phone or other device is faster than another -- at least that's the idea. Tests performed by XDA Developers strongly suggest that OnePlus is using underhanded techniques to make the OnePlus 3T's Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 perform better in Qualcomm Trepn and Snapdragon Performance Visualizer tests. Analysis of results points to the fact that OnePlus is targeting benchmark apps by name, such as GeekBench, and is artificially boosting device performance when they are found… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech unveils revolutionary Spotlight Presentation Remote for PowerPoint, Keynote, and more

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 8:59am CET par Brian Fagioli

  Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote presentations are often very boring, but unfortunately, they are a fact of life in the business world. If you have ever sat through a meeting that focused heavily on these slides, you have probably feigned interest and tried hard not to fall asleep. But why? Often, the data held on the screen is quite informative, but if the presenter is a bore, the presentation will suffer regardless. To make matters worse, with more and more employees working remotely, these presentations can be nothing more than slides with audio for some -- those not physically in the room… [Continue Reading]

  Watch President Donald Trump announce his Supreme Court nominee on Facebook Live

  Publié: février 1, 2017, 12:42am CET par Brian Fagioli

  In the United States, the most prestigious position is president. Some people might think vice president is the next important position, but it arguably is not. Actually, some folks, including yours truly, consider Supreme Court Justice to be a more important position than VP. After all, the decisions of these justices can have a huge impact on the country. There is currently an empty seat in the Supreme Court, due to the death of Justice Scalia. President Trump has the duty of nominating someone to fill this vacancy. Many political insiders are pointing to either Neil Gorsuch or Thomas Hardiman as the pick,… [Continue Reading]
