  Why tech companies of all sizes are embracing business-led solutions to IP protection

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 8:45pm CET par Ken Seddon

  The tech industry has long been a favorite target for patent trolls. While tech companies strive to innovate, patent trolls see opportunities to monetize the patents they’ve acquired by suing operating tech companies. Today, patent trolls are responsible for over 84 percent of patent litigation in the U.S. A study published by the Boston University School of Law showed that over six times as many patent lawsuits are filed in recent years  than in 1980. More than 10,000 companies have been sued at least once by a troll and the rates of these suits are growing by double-digits every year.… [Continue Reading]

  5 things mobile developers need to consider in 2017

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 8:19pm CET par Keith Elliott

  Android or iOS? Or both? It’s a question anyone who’s been involved in building a mobile app will have asked. Android is still the major player in the development world, due to the simple fact of the size of the market, but it’s foolish to write anything that’s grown from Apple off. As with just about every trend in technology, it appears that flexibility and fluidity is the choice route. Here are five things developers will need to consider to stay relevant in 2017 and beyond. User Attention Span Is Decreasing User attention span for app interactions is continuing to decrease.… [Continue Reading]

  Scan running processes for malware with CrowdInspect

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 7:54pm CET par Mike Williams

  CrowdStrike has updated its Windows malware hunter CrowdInspect to version 1.5. The new version now scans all running processes for malware, not just those communicating over the network, quickly displaying a detailed report. The most immediately useful feature is a column representing the VirusTotal score for each file. It’s color-coded to quickly highlight likely threats, and a right-click option provides a link to the full web report. If a process has network connections open then CrowdInspect will list their type (TCP/ UDP), state, local and report ports, and local and remote IPs. A "WOT" column displays the Web of Trust… [Continue Reading]

  European enterprises engage with startups to innovate

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 7:51pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  European businesses are among the world's most active when it comes to finding innovation through start-ups. This is according to Samsung's new report, The Open Economy. According to it, businesses are changing the way they’re innovating, and are focusing on bringing in and collaborating with young and inspiring start-ups. Out of the five countries with the highest number of large companies engaged with start-ups, four are in Europe, the report states. Almost all European corporations surveyed (97 percent) have carefully analyzed the need for open innovation. Not all have acted on their findings just yet. Just as with other new technologies… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter lets customer support operatives use custom profiles with their direct messages

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 6:42pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Having become the medium through which upset customers often turn to in order to complain to companies or ask questions, Twitter is fully embracing its role as a customer service platform. But while Twitter is a neat and quick way to get in touch with a company, it tends to have something of an impersonal feel. This is about to change as Twitter is rolling out a new feature that lets customer service representatives personalize direct messages with their own name and image rather than that of the company they work for. Will this splash of personality help customers feel… [Continue Reading]

  Apple opens spaceship campus in April

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 6:28pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  While construction of Apple's immense spaceship campus, officially known as Apple Park, will continue well into 2017, the iPhone maker today announces that the first employees will move in in just a couple of months. In April, Apple will start moving over 12,000 people to its new 175-acre campus. The iPhone maker says that it will need more than half a year to finish this process. Work on Apple Park started more than three years ago, in November 2013, and while Apple moves its employees, buildings and parklands will continue to be constructed. The company suggests that the construction will complete only… [Continue Reading]

  Watch out, Intel! AMD Ryzen 7 desktop processors are almost here

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 6:03pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Whenever I build a computer, I often look to AMD processors first. It is partly from tradition -- I have long preferred the company's processors, but that is hardly a reason to buy something. Actually, I turn to AMD because its chips are both powerful and affordable. For gaming in particular, there is a lot of value to be had from the company's CPUs. For a while now, Intel has been selling better-performing chips than AMD's, albeit often more expensive. Many AMD fans, such as myself, have long been waiting for more competitive offerings. Well, folks, the time has finally… [Continue Reading]

  Kaspersky launches 'secure operating system' -- with no trace of Linux in it

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 5:54pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Every once in a while a major software company takes us by surprise by releasing an operating system of its own. Kaspersky has done just that with its new KasperskyOS, which is designed for control systems, Internet of Things devices, and network devices. The most intriguing thing about the 14-year project? It has no Linux underpinnings. If you want to create your own operating system, basing it on Linux is an obvious choice. The open-source kernel is tried and true, after all, and best of all it's free, so if you want a solid foundation it is a great option. But, "for different… [Continue Reading]

  Instantly block internet access with NetDisabler

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 4:56pm CET par Mike Williams

  Freeware developer Sordum has unveiled NetDisabler, a freeware Windows application which can disable and restore internet access on demand. The program stands out immediately for its use of three web-blocking techniques: disabling the network adapter, blocking via DNS or using the Windows Firewall. You’re able to use and combination of these tricks to disable your internet connection, increasing the chances that NetDisabler will work for you, and making it harder for others to bypass. The program is a sub-1MB download which unzips to a couple of executables only (32 and 64-bit). There’s no installation required, and no drivers, Windows services… [Continue Reading]

  To celebrate the Oscars, YouTube ranks 'Best Picture' nominated movie trailers by views

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 4:21pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  The Oscars are this Sunday, and I have seen a grand total of zero of the films nominated for Best Picture. Isn't that a shame? This is because of a few factors -- the theater is too expensive nowadays, and I simply haven't had the time. Not to mention, none of this year's nominated films particularly interest me. Oh well. To celebrate the much-anticipated award show, the folks over at Google have created a leaderboard for the nine Oscar "Best Picture" nominated movie trailers. The search giant explains that the rankings are comprised of views "including both studio channels and popular… [Continue Reading]

  Americans at risk of identity theft as they file their tax returns

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 4:17pm CET par Ian Barker

  As we move into the tax return season a new study reveals that attitudes to identity theft and a pattern of poor practices are leaving much of the public vulnerable. Data security and ID theft protection company CyberScout has carried out its second annual Tax Season Risk Report and finds 58 percent of Americans are not worried about tax fraud in spite of federal reports of 787,000 confirmed identity theft returns in 2016, totaling more than $4 billion in potential fraud. Among other findings are that only 35 percent of taxpayers demand that their preparers use two-factor authentication to protect their… [Continue Reading]

  Changing business models will create 'ultra freelancers'

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 2:53pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  With the significant and imminent changes in the way we do business a new type of freelancers will emerge, according to Samsung. Called "ultra-freelancers", this type of workers will "connect deeply within multiple organizations simultaneously, working with multiple corporate data sets but fiercely protective of the privacy of their own data." These ultra-freelancers will be mostly Millennials, a cohort that is taking full advantage of the new technologies and the open economy. Samsung’s new report, "The Open Economy," says "60 percent of independent workers in Europe are highly satisfied with the flexibility that being a freelancer offers, and just 14 percent… [Continue Reading]

  Differential sync will speed up OneDrive from Q2 2017

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 1:50pm CET par Mark Wilson

  It has been some time since Microsoft mentioned that differential sync would be coming to OneDrive, and the company's latest roadmap shows that it is due to arrive some time in the second quarter of this year. The feature will help to save time and bandwidth by only synchronizing parts of a file that have been updated. It's something that users of Microsoft's cloud storage service have been requesting for a long time now, and years of asking will soon come to an end. As reported by ZDNet, an updated roadmap for OneDrive shows that the second quarter of 2017… [Continue Reading]

  Manners maketh the smartphone user

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 12:58pm CET par Ian Barker

  The smartphone has revolutionzed the way we communicate and access information, but what about the effect it's had on our wider society? New research from business technology company Pitney Bowes looks at the tricky topic of smartphone e-etiquette -- and no, that doesn't mean sticking out your little finger as you use your phone. The research carried out among more than 1,100 people in the UK identifies a list of digital behaviors that most people consider to be rude. The worst offenses are being disturbed by someone talking on a phone in a public area (71 percent of us feel… [Continue Reading]

  How to find (and copy) your Windows product key

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 12:48pm CET par Wayne Williams

  There are all sorts of reasons why you might need to locate your Windows product key. Perhaps you’re thinking of upgrading from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 (doing so is still free, despite what Microsoft has said), or you might want to perform a clean install. In the past, tracking down the key usually involved finding your installation media, but the more modern approach is to simply pull it directly from your Windows installation.

  Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Enhancer: a first look

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 12:17pm CET par Mike Williams

  Windows 10 finally brought virtual desktops to the PC with its Task View feature, but although the system is easy to use, it’s a little underpowered. Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Enhancer is an open-source portable application which extends Task View with some small but welcome extras. The first addition you’ll notice is a system tray icon displaying the number of the current desktop. It’s a handy extra way to keep track of where you are, and left-clicking it launches the regular Task View for switching. Desktops can have a name ("Work", "Web", "Games", whatever you like), another way to help… [Continue Reading]

  Paid-for Google Site Search to be phased out and replaced by free, ad-supported version

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 11:38am CET par Mark Wilson

  Emails to customers reveal that Google plans to kill off Google Site Search this spring. While customers who have paid for the service will continue to have access to it, no new licenses or renewals will be sold after 1 April, 2017. As reported by Fortune, customers will be migrated to Google's ad-supported Custom Search Engine once their license or search limit expire. The move illustrates Google's on-going and growing reliance on advertising income, and it's something that is unlikely to be well-received by web users who are already sick of being inundated with ads.

  HTTPS now protects half of all web traffic

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 11:19am CET par Wayne Williams

  Websites that implement HTTPS reap a lot of benefits. Not only do they protect their users by preventing third parties from snooping on web traffic, and safeguard against content hijacking and cookie stealing, but they also enjoy a better ranking in Google as the search giant uses HTTPS as a signal in its search algorithms. Few privacy-minded people would be happy about logging in, or entering credit card details, on a site which doesn’t afford the proper protection that HTTPS brings. It’s taken a long time for the web to transition from HTTP to HTTPS, but the Electronic Frontier Foundation… [Continue Reading]

  What's next for containers, unikernels, and coding

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 11:14am CET par Viktor Farcic

  Everyone talks about containers. It became so huge that we think Docker has existed for a long time. The fact is that it has only started. We can observe that by the amount of changes we are seeing. Docker from two years ago is very different than Docker today. Products in its ecosystem are appearing every day and many are disappearing just as quickly. If there is a space we should turn our attention to, that’s containers. At the same time, we have already switched our focus to other areas. Containers, by themselves, are the old story. We know what… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft unveils Skype Lite, an Android app for India that's light on data usage

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 10:33am CET par Mark Wilson

  Microsoft has thrown a lot at Skype in recent years, and the latest move sees the company releasing a completely new version of the Android app designed for use on slower internet connections -- specifically in India. Described variously as being "our fastest and smallest app to date" and "built in India, for users in India", the focus with Skype Lite is on speed and efficiency. The new version of Skype uses less data and battery power, but still delivers the Skype experience that users have come to rely on. Skype Lite is available in Gujarati, Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil,… [Continue Reading]

  Google releases open source file sharing project 'Upspin' on GitHub

  Publié: février 22, 2017, 4:23am CET par Brian Fagioli

  Believe it or not, in 2017, file-sharing between individuals is not a particularly easy affair. Quite frankly, I had a better experience more than a decade ago sending things to friends and family using AOL Instant Messenger. Nowadays, everything is so fragmented, that it can be hard to share. Today, Google unveils yet another way to share files. Called "Upspin," the open source project aims to make sharing easier for home users. With that said, the project does not seem particularly easy to set up or maintain. For example, it uses Unix-like directories and email addresses for permissions. While it may make… [Continue Reading]
