  Underhyping Snapchat

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 7:58pm CET par Sameer Singh

  The media, analyst and investor communities clearly have a love-hate relationship with Snapchat. In the run-up to its IPO, it was hailed as the next great technology company (in part due to Snap's own communication efforts). And now that its S-1 is out, the commentary has turned quite negative. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle and public filings paint a very clear picture of why that is. The chart at the top of this post shows quarterly revenue for Snap compared with that of Twitter and Facebook, aligned by founding year (sourced from their respective IPO prospectuses).… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 6:50pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Whenever I am going on a day trip, such as spending an afternoon in New York City, I pack a special technology bag. Besides my laptop and camera, I am sure to include a USB battery pack. No matter what, I like to know that I can charge my iPhone in an emergency. But what if I wanted something for a trip that is longer than a day? What if I wanted to stay juiced-up on a camping trip? Heck, what if there is a disaster that cuts my home's electricity? Renogy has a new hardcore product that is sure to… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 6:38pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Using a smartphone while operating a car can be a dangerous affair. You obviously shouldn't text while driving, but sometimes using the device while moving is necessary, such as when using a maps app. Logitech ZeroTouch is an interesting Android-only solution that puts your phone into a special hands-free driving mode when mounted in a dock. It can be quite the elegant solution. Today, Logitech announces that ZeroTouch is getting even better. The company is adding Amazon Alexa support, meaning you can call upon the voice assistant while in the car. Quite frankly, as great as Alexa is in the home, the assistant… [Continue Reading]

  Opera 43 adds 'instant page loading', classic link selection

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 5:54pm CET par Mike Williams

  Opera Software has released Opera 43 to the stable channel with enhanced performance-boosting tools and a welcome productivity tweak. Instant page loading is a pre-rendering technology which attempts to predict URLs as you type, and starts to load the site in the background before you even hit enter. The feature has some intelligence, learning over time which URLs you type most often and loading those first. Instant page loading also makes use of prerender tags, when they’re available (<link rel="prerender" href="https://betanews.com/page/to/prerender">). Opera 43 also takes advantage of Profile Guided Optimization, a powerful technique which enables the developer to "train" the… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 5:49pm CET par Ian Barker

  Ransomware is a big problem for today's enterprises, the US Department of Justice reports an average of 4,000 ransomware attacks occur in the US every day. This means detection and fast action is more important than ever. Cloud data protection company Druva is launching an enhanced version of its platform to manage the ransomware threat from detection right through to recovery. It works by continually assessing the characteristics of file changes and their types. For example abnormal deletions, unusual file modifications and updates, and identifying an unusually large number of file creations, all of which could be a sign of… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter has long had an abuse and harassment problem, which has put off a lot of would-be users. Over the years the company has taken steps to try to combat the issue, but with very limited success. However, Twitter is now working hard make the service a more friendly place -- just last week it improved how users report abusive tweets.

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 5:03pm CET par Ian Barker

  New solution cuts risk from unstructured data

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 3:30pm CET par Ian Barker

  Businesses understand the need to look after sensitive data, but a problem often arises in knowing where that data is. Unstructured information held in folders and documents is just as valuable to hackers as database records and is harder to protect. Identity management company SailPoint is launching its latest data governance solution, allowing enterprises to guard sensitive files wherever they reside. SecurityIQ 5.0 gives enterprises the ability to discover where sensitive data is stored in files and folders, eliminate overexposed permissions, and apply centralized management and access controls over unstructured data in systems running on-premises or in the cloud. It also… [Continue Reading]

  Robots could take over almost 250,000 jobs in the next two decades

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 3:29pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  The everlasting debate over whether robots will take our jobs or not continues. London-based think tank Reform weighted in, and most humans aren't going to like it. It recently said that almost 250,000 jobs in the public sector could be replaced by robots in the next two decades. This will mean billions of pounds in savings for businesses and organizations, but also a loss of steady jobs for many people. Approximately 130,000 Whitehall administrators (90 percent of them) could be replaced by robots by 2030. This would save roughly £2.6bn. Another 90,000 NHS admins, and 24,000 GP receptionists could also… [Continue Reading]

  Unified security management comes to the cloud

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 3:23pm CET par Ian Barker

  Implementing effective security can be time consuming, complex and costly, more so given the adoption of cloud-based systems. Unified security management (USM) specialist AlienVault is aiming to simplify things with the release of USM Anywhere, an all-in-one Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) security monitoring platform. USM Anywhere is designed to centralize threat detection, incident response and compliance management of cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises environments from a single cloud-based console.

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 1:24pm CET par Ian Barker

  Trump's anti-H-1B order won't be what it seems

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 12:32pm CET par Robert X. Cringely

  Immigration policy and trade protectionism play large roles in the new Administration of President Donald Trump. With the goal of Making America Great Again the new President wants to more tightly control the flow of goods and labor into the USA. Over the last week this has taken the form of an Executive Order limiting travel from seven specific Muslim countries. That order wasn’t well done, wasn’t well explained, has caused lots of angst here and abroad and is at this moment suspended pending litigation. That order is supposedly about limiting terrorism. It will be shortly followed, we’re told, by… [Continue Reading]

  House of Representatives approves Email Privacy Act requiring warrants to search email and data 

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 11:06am CET par Mark Wilson

  The Email Privacy Act (HR 387) has passed through the House of Representatives for the second time. It's an attempt to update the now-ancient Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) from 1986 which gave cause for concern as it grants the government the ability to access emails and data older than 180 days which is stored on third-party servers without the need for a warrant. The Email Privacy Act changes that. Privacy advocates are currently celebrating the fact that the updated Act has been approved by the House, but it now needs to pass through the Senate -- where it already… [Continue Reading]

  NirSoft releases LoadedDLLsView

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 11:02am CET par Mike Williams

  Freeware machine NirSoft has unveiled its latest system tool, LoadedDLLsView (32-bit version). If you don’t know what the program does from the name then you’re not in the target audience, but essentially it scans all the running processes on your system, detecting and listing whatever DLLs they’re using. The usual NirSoft table includes plenty of information for each DLL: its name, type (32/ 64-bit), product name and version, file description and version, company, path, file created/ modified times, file size and the total number of processes using that DLL. Clicking any column header sorts the table by that field. Sorting… [Continue Reading]

  Google makes it much easier to share AMP links 

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 10:28am CET par Mark Wilson

  A huge proportion of web traffic comes from mobile devices these days, and this means people are often trying to access online articles when they have a slow data connection. For this reason, Facebook introduced Instant Articles, and Google introduced Accelerated Mobile Pages. Both of these technologies allow for near-instantaneous loading of pre-cached, optimized articles on mobile devices, but they have a problem. Both mask the original URL which can make it difficult to share interesting articles with others. Google has seen the problem and made an important change to the way AMP works, helping to increase trust. The news… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech unveils BRIO 4K Pro Webcam with HDR and Windows Hello support

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 9:00am CET par Brian Fagioli

  When you buy a laptop nowadays, it will absolutely have a built-in webcam. Some desktop users may have a webcam built into their monitor too. For the most part, those integrated cameras should be passable in a pinch, but the overall performance often disappoints. It is for that reason that many consumers will still buy an external USB webcam. Logitech has long offered well-reviewed USB webcams, and today, it is announcing what could be the best such camera ever. The BRIO 4K Pro Webcam is capable of recording or streaming 4K content. While UHD support alone makes it intriguing, it also has… [Continue Reading]

  HyperX adds Cherry MX Red and Brown switch options to Alloy FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

  Publié: février 7, 2017, 1:14am CET par Brian Fagioli

  Mechanical keyboards are all the rage nowadays, and for good reason -- they can be brilliant for both gaming and typing. The tactile and audible feedback that they can offer are sometimes a world beyond the crappy pack-in keyboards that come with many desktops. That's not to say that all non-mechanical keyboards are bad -- that is not the case at all. In fact, it is largely personal preference. Back in October, respected manufacturer HyperX (a Kingston gaming brand) released the 'ALLOY FPS' Cherry MX Blue mechanical LED backlit gaming keyboard. The problem? Not everyone likes Blue switches. You see, different switches… [Continue Reading]
