  LG G6's highlight is its 5.7-inch 'FullVision' QHD+ display

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 10:03pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  If you want your latest and greatest smartphone to stand out from the crowd probably the best thing that you can do is not announce it at a major show like MWC. That's because many manufacturers will be fighting for the public's attention, as they will unveil dozens of devices in the span of a couple of days. So, LG is trying to get ahead of everyone else by sharing some juicy details about its upcoming G6 flagship now. The highlight is the 5.7-inch QHD+ display that is said to fill the front of the device "almost entirely". The "FullVision" display… [Continue Reading]

  How to create a resilient DNS framework

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 8:36pm CET par Carl J. Levine

  Telephones used to have a dial. Television viewers used to have to get up to change the channel. Internet connections used to run at 56 kbit/s. And, not so long ago, organizations could run their service from a single data center. Their DNS servers were placed inside it with no contingency plan. After all, if the data center went down, the DNS server was useless. But time and technology march on, and a single data center is now the exception rather than the norm. Enterprises run multiple data centers, sometimes in multiple countries, not to mention cloud regions and highly… [Continue Reading]

  Hyper is a JavaScript, HTML and CSS-based terminal

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 8:33pm CET par Mike Williams

  Hyper is a very configurable open-source Electron-based terminal. On Windows it uses the regular command prompt by default, but can be tweaked to support PowerShell or whatever shell you’d prefer. Launch the program and it just looks like a regular command prompt with a slightly different font and window style. But wait: Hyper is powered by Chromium, and some familiar Chrome-type features are just a tap or two away. Would you like another tab, for instance? Press Ctrl+T, as normal, or Ctrl+N to open a new Hyper window. Individual tabs can be split horizontally (Ctrl+Shift+O) or vertically (Ctrl+Shift+E), enabling viewing… [Continue Reading]

  A closer look at DevOps adoption in the enterprise

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 8:20pm CET par Matt Hilbert

  The speed of business today affects every part of the organization, and IT is no exception. That’s why traditional methods of developing and deploying software that split up the process into multiple teams and departments are being replaced by newer, more agile techniques such as DevOps. This removes silos to get people, process and tools working together to make the product delivery lifecycle faster and more predictive. DevOps is fundamentally changing the IT landscape -- and that includes areas such as the database, which has often not been part of the traditional development model. New research that we recently carried out… [Continue Reading]

  Google Home gets shop-by-voice

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 6:44pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Voice assistants are all the rage nowadays, with hardware like Amazon Echo becoming very popular in homes. While some people are fearful of such devices because they are always listening for commands, some consumers are willing to trade their privacy for convenience. In other words, since consumers aren't required to buy such a device, they are empowered to make that decision with their wallets. One alternative to Amazon's solution is Google Home. The search-giant's device is essentially the same concept as Echo -- an always-listening assistant ready to serve you. Today, Google announces that its assistant-focused device is gaining a really… [Continue Reading]

  Most UK businesses will be ready for GDPR

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 6:42pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  Whoever gets to enforce GDPR on businesses is going to have their hands full starting May next year. According to DMA, 26 percent of marketers believe their businesses are unprepared for the General Data Protection regulation, and just two thirds (68 percent) believe they will be compliant in time for the deadline, which is May 2018. In the second edition of DMA’s "GDPR and you" series, it says that two thirds of marketers (66 percent) have "good" awareness, up from 53 percent in June last year. Also, the marketers’ "personal" feeling of preparedness increased significantly -- from 49 percent to 71… [Continue Reading]

  Businesses fail to take full advantage of data science

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 3:54pm CET par Ian Barker

  The benefits of data science are widely recognised according to a new survey, but 22 percent of users are failing to take full advantage of the data available. The study by Continuum Analytics, the company behind the Anaconda open source data platform, surveyed 200 data science and analytics decision makers at US organizations of all sizes and industries, as well as more than 500 data scientists to uncover similarities and disparities between the two groups. Among the findings are that 73 percent of respondents rank data science as one of the top three most valuable technologies they use. However, a… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 3:08pm CET par Ian Barker

  New data released today shows that Americans are increasingly concerned about their online privacy and security, including apprehension about increased government surveillance in the new presidential administration. The survey by secure access specialist AnchorFree of over 1,000 users of the company's Hotspot Shield personal VPN application reveals 84 percent say they are more concerned about their online privacy and security today than they were a year ago. Among other findings are that 64 percent say they are more concerned about keeping personal information private today because of the new presidential administration. Also, 50 percent are more concerned about online privacy… [Continue Reading]

  Hybrid clouds will become mainstream in 2017

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 2:57pm CET par Peter Grimmond

  We've been talking about the cloud for some years now and, while we may look back at 2016 as a year of growing enterprise cloud adoption, 2017 will be the year when hybrid clouds really enter the mainstream. Cloud is no longer "optional" for enterprises looking to remain competitive: with businesses demanding ever-greater agility from their IT functions and with data growth continuing to explode at an alarming rate, more and more IT departments are looking to move critical IT services to a combination of private and public cloud. Research by Veritas in 2016 found that 38 percent of workloads… [Continue Reading]

  How will 3D printing affect your life?

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 2:24pm CET par Ian Barker

  3D printing is one of those technologies that’s been hovering on the edge of public consciousness for a few years without ever hitting the mainstream. But as the technology has matured and the machines become cheaper, 3D printing is set to affect all of us. UK electronics supplier RS Components has put together an infographic showing how 3D printing will develop over the next few decades. In the short term it predicts that by 2020 many aircraft parts will be 3D printed, saving weight and leading to more efficiency. In 2025 we could be 3D printing replacement human organs using modified… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter slaps abusive accounts with temporary timeouts

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 1:39pm CET par Mark Wilson

  After promising to do something to tackle the problem of harassment, Twitter recently announced plans to stop repeat offenders. An even more recent tweak to lists backfired, and the latest measure sees abusers hit with a timeout rather than a ban. It is an attempt to placate those who want to see something being done, while simultaneously trying not to anger those affected. The restrictions seem to be -- at the moment -- limited to hiding the offender's tweet to everyone but his or her followers, but it's possible that others may be implemented as well. Offenders are notified of… [Continue Reading]

  Calendarscope 9.0 brings Outlook import

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 1:34pm CET par Mike Williams

  Duality Software has released Calendarscope 9.0, a major update for its flagship scheduling application. New Outlook support enables importing calendars and tasks directly from an Outlook .pst file. The program can also sync tasks with Google Tasks, although this requires Duality’s HandySync for Google ($19.95). An unusual UI "Zoom" feature enables increasing the size of dialog box text or its various controls. An optional "enhanced pop-up information" displays more information about events in Calendar views. Calendarscope is priced from $29.95, with a 30-day trial available. Registered users who purchased a license before February 15th 2016 should have received an email… [Continue Reading]

  Is ransomware in decline or just evolving?

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 1:07pm CET par Ian Barker

  According to a new report from the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, the volume of ransomware being encountered is reducing. Data from Windows Defender Antivirus shows that after peaking in August, when 385,000 encounters were registered, ransomware encounters dropped almost 50 percent in September, and have continued to decline. But this doesn't mean we’re seeing the end of the menace. The attack vectors being used, the number of new ransomware families being released and the sophistication of the code suggests it isn't going away any time soon. Microsoft's monitoring of ransomware over the last year reveals that every quarter, more than… [Continue Reading]

  Google partners with Telenor to bring enhanced RCS messaging to Europe and Asia

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 12:51pm CET par Mark Wilson

  A potential successor to SMS has received strong backing from Google as it partners with Telenor to launch RCS messaging in Europe and Asia. Rich Communications Services is more feature-rich than traditional SMS and Google's latest partnership sees the technology spreading outside of the US and Canada. With support for features such as group chat, read receipts and high resolution image sharing, RCS has a lot going for it. There's just one catch. In integrating RCS support into Android, Google is providing the "upgraded SMS experience" through its own Messenger app. The deal means that RCS messaging is making its… [Continue Reading]

  Job ads on Facebook mean you could apply for your next position through the social network

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 11:45am CET par Mark Wilson

  Ads on Facebook are something of a pain, but they could actually about to become rather more useful. Starting tomorrow, the social network will allow business pages to host job ads and anyone interested in the positions will be able to apply directly via Facebook. Job ads on Facebook were trialed towards the end of last year, but the official rollout starts now. It's a change that sees Facebook treading firmly on LinkedIn's toes, and it's something that has the potential to work well for Facebook, employers and job applicants alike. From the point of view of employers, it makes… [Continue Reading]

  Google expands fact checking to help tackle fake news

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 10:37am CET par Mark Wilson

  It's something that should delight Donald Trump -- Google is helping to fight fake news. Whether the company's move to help keep web users better informed is in keeping with the US president's penchant for "alternative facts" remains to be seen, but for everyone else it is great news. Google is far from being the first technology company to lend its support to the fake news fighting army -- Facebook and the BBC are already doing their bit too. The expansion of Google News fact checking means that the Fact Check label is spreading further around the globe, giving people… [Continue Reading]

  Yahoo notifies users about 'forged cookie' security breaches and it could cost the company millions

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 10:10am CET par Mark Wilson

  Yahoo -- or, rather, its users -- have not been doing very well recently when it comes to security. Having already revealed details of a huge historic attack that led to the theft of details for millions of accounts, Yahoo is now notifying an unknown number of users that their accounts may have been breached by hackers using forged cookies. At the same time, Bloomberg is suggesting that the impending deal with Verizon has been renegotiated. The latest revelations coupled with the previous security issues could have just cost Yahoo $250 million. As noted by HelpNetSecurity, news of this particular… [Continue Reading]

  How to disable auto-playing sound on Facebook videos

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 9:40am CET par Wayne Williams

  As you'll no doubt have seen, Facebook is introducing several big changes to video on its platform. The most divisive change will be the introduction of auto-playing sound. "Videos in News Feed have previously played silently -- you tap on a video to hear sound. As people watch more video on phones, they've come to expect sound when the volume on their device is turned on. After testing sound on in News Feed and hearing positive feedback, we’re slowly bringing it to more people. With this update, sound fades in and out as you scroll through videos in News Feed,… [Continue Reading]

  For the past several years, Microsoft has released security patches on the second Tuesday of the month -- the so-called Patch Tuesday. However, Microsoft missed the date this month and now says the new patches won’t arrive until the middle of next month.

Our top priority is to provide the best possible experience for customers in maintaining and protecting their systems.

  ASUS ROG unveils Strix Impact wired gaming mouse with RGB lighting and DPI button

  Publié: février 16, 2017, 5:07am CET par Brian Fagioli

  When it comes to gaming mice, there are often two schools of thought for design. Some manufacturers go overboard, thinking consumers want flashy-looking mice with tons of features. Other makers go a more conservative route, where the user wants fewer distractions. Neither is wrong -- consumers have different tastes. There is also the wired vs. wireless debate, with many gamers preferring the former for reduced lag and no need for battery charging. Today, ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) unveils an all-new wired mouse with a more conservative design approach. Called "Strix Impact," the wired gaming mouse is certainly attractive, but… [Continue Reading]

  Google Search gets fun facts

  This may surprise you (or not), but I am a total bore at parties. I usually don't speak much, and if I do, it is surely something that isn't interesting. Why is this? Well, I usually don't have anything to say, nor do I really care for banter. This is probably why I rarely get invited to parties! Today, Google launches a new way for party-poopers like me to seem more interesting than they actually are. How? By sharing fun facts on various topics on the search engine. These interesting and enjoyable facts can be found when searching, and then used… [Continue Reading]

  One of the world’s largest car manufacturers, US-based company Ford, plans to invest $1 billion to research and build artificial intelligence for its vehicles. Ford states that it will invest $1 billion in the Argo AI startup within the next five years, which will focus on building and developing self-driving car technology. At the beginning, Argo AI will build AI technology for Ford, exclusively, but after a few years it will do so for other manufacturers as well. This move is Ford’s biggest effort so far to enter the race for the car of the future, that Silicon Valley companies… [Continue Reading]
