  How AI can offer much-needed relief to UK's National Health Service

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 8:15pm CET par Katie Gibbs

  According to the Office for Budget Responsibility, the NHS budget will need to increase by £88billion over the next 50 years if it is to keep pace with the rising demand for healthcare in the UK. But with the 2017 Budget showcasing a massive leaning towards building up its Brexit reserves and allocating a mere £100 million for 100 onsite GP treatment centers in A&Es across England, the NHS is justifiably bracing itself for a painful future. With £20billion worth of cuts scheduled by 2020, combined with fierce warnings that the UK’s health services are on the edge of an… [Continue Reading]

  Updated Skype extension for Chrome brings one-click Skype integration to calendars, emails and Twitter

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 7:39pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Microsoft is pushing out an update to its Skype extension for Chrome, bringing a host of new features to a range of online services. The update means that you can add Skype call links to emails, calendar events, and social media postings with a single click. With support for Gmail, Google Inbox, Outlook.com, Google Calendar and Twitter, Microsoft is clearly trying to cover a lot of bases. Twitter is arguably something of a strange choice, but by embracing rival Google services, Microsoft is clearly keen to make Skype more accessible for as many people as possible. The extension brings simple… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft and Nvidia unveil HGX-1 hyperscale GPU accelerator

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 7:37pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  Blueprints for a new hyperscale GPU accelerator have been introduced recently, jointly by Microsoft and NVIDIA. The two companies are saying the accelerator would "drive AI cloud computing." The accelerator is called HGX-1 hyperscale GPU. It is released in conjunction with Microsoft’s Project Olympus, as an open-source design. The two companies are equalling HGX-1 to ATX (Advance Technology eXtended), saying HGX-1 willl do to cloud-based AI workloads what ATX did for PC motherboards. It creates an industry standard, making market demand easier to fulfil. Microsoft and NVIDIA are hoping the new accelerator will find its application in autonomous driving, personalized… [Continue Reading]

  NetAudit is a simple network toolkit

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 7:10pm CET par Mike Williams

  NetAudit is a portable network toolkit for Windows which combines simple Ping, Traceroute, Whois and connection monitoring features. The program interface is a mess. There’s a useless list of processes; a Network Usage indicator which isn’t scaled properly so it’s almost always blank; big arrows with figures to presumably indicate total uploaded and downloaded data, although with no tooltips or labels it’s hard to tell. For some reason the developer has decided to tuck the program’s main functions in the bottom right-hand corner, normally the last place you’d look. But we spotted them eventually: four buttons for Ping, Traceroute, Whois,… [Continue Reading]

  Why you need cyber security checks during a merger or acquisition

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 7:02pm CET par Brian Pennington

  2016 was a record setting year for data breaches and hacks. In the last few months of the year Yahoo began making headline news for all the wrong reasons with two stories around how it was the victim of the largest cyber-attack in history, which saw one billion accounts being compromised. Making this situation all the more worst for Yahoo, was the fact that it was in the process of being acquired by Verizon. This hack in fact has resulted in Verizon paying $350 million less for Yahoo and receiving confirmation from Yahoo’s board that any future legal costs or… [Continue Reading]

  Build a better March Madness 2017 NCAA Tournament Bracket with Microsoft's Bing

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 5:48pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  For many, March is just another month in the calendar year. For basketball fans, however, it is significant for one big reason -- the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, otherwise known as "March Madness." Only the best college teams make the cut, making it an exciting elimination tournament. It is a great way to see future professional players in a pressure situation -- some of them will play in the coveted NBA. Watching basketball aside, another fun aspect of the tournament is the bracket challenges. You see, many people like to predict who will win each matchup, and ultimately,… [Continue Reading]

  Mozilla: people have no idea how to protect their privacy and security online

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 5:32pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Privacy and security are major concerns when it comes to life online, but a survey by Mozilla reveals that a worrying number of people do not know how to stay in control of them. The company also found that a third of people feel they have no control over their information online, with a similar number confessing to knowing "very little" about encryption. But these are not the only concerns of internet users. Mozilla also asked about people's greatest online fears. Topping the list is "being hacked by a stranger" (a fear held by 80 percent of people), and "being… [Continue Reading]

  Intel buys Mobileye to boost self-driving car efforts

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 5:24pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Intel is serious about becoming an important player in the self-driving car market. After teaming up with various companies, including car makers, to develop and promote solutions for autonomous vehicles, it's now taking things to the next level by acquiring Mobileye. Mobileye, in case you are not familiar with it, is best known for supplying the technology (like sensors and cameras) used in Tesla's first-generation Autopilot. Intel will spend just over $15bn to buy the Israeli company. "The acquisition will couple the best-in-class technologies from both companies, including Intel’s high-performance computing and connectivity expertise and Mobileye’s leading computer vision expertise to create automated driving solutions from… [Continue Reading]

  Decrease in patch rates points to broken software supply chain

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 4:54pm CET par Ian Barker

  Vulnerabilities in software are at the heart of many security problems, providing a foothold for hackers that they can use to gain access to systems. The latest Vulnerability Review from the Secunia Research arm of Flexera Software maps the security threat presented to IT infrastructures and explores vulnerabilities in the 50 most popular applications on private PCs. The study finds that in 2016, 81 percent of all vulnerabilities, and 92.5 percent of applications, in what it identifies as the Top 50 Software Portfolio, that were impacted by vulnerabilities had patches for those vulnerabilities available on the day of disclosure. However,… [Continue Reading]

  Google reveals Jamboard price and release date

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 4:52pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  If you're looking for an alternative to Microsoft's Surface Hub, Google has just the thing for you. Unveiled last October, Jamboard is a 55-inch whiteboard featuring a 4K touchscreen display, HD camera, speakers and integration with the search giant's G Suite productivity apps.

More specifically, the Jamboard will be available to purchase starting this May for $4,999. There is no exact… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook bans devs from creating surveillance tools with user data

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 4:37pm CET par Mark Wilson

  Without a hint of irony, Facebook has told developers that they may not use data from Instagram and Facebook in surveillance tools. The social network says that the practice has long been a contravention of its policies, but it is now tidying up and clarifying the wording of its developer policies. American Civil Liberties Union, Color of Change and the Center for Media Justice put pressure on Facebook after it transpired that data from users' feeds was being gathered and sold on to law enforcement agencies. The re-written developer policy now explicitly states that developers are not allowed to "use… [Continue Reading]

  63 million LinkedIn users have weak passwords

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 3:30pm CET par Ian Barker

  Last year's highly publicized Yahoo and LinkedIn breaches exposed millions of users' passwords to the public and saw them for sale on the dark web. Researchers at behavioral firewall company Preempt have analyzed the leaked LinkedIn passwords to find out how many were weak before the breach occurred. The findings show that 35 percent of leaked LinkedIn passwords -- over 63 and a half million -- were already known from previous password dictionaries, making them vulnerable to cracking offline by reference to a word list of known or previously used passwords. In addition 65 percent could be easily cracked with brute… [Continue Reading]

  Don't have cable and want to watch March Madness? Here's how

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 1:32pm CET par Alan Buckingham

  Now that we've had Selection Sunday, people can begin filling out their brackets and putting their money where their mouths are. From number one ranked Villanova all the way back to number 68 Mt St. Mary, and all of the schools in between. But what if you don't have cable or satellite to watch the action? You have some viewing options. Using a set-top box like Roku you need never miss a moment. You'll need a subscription to Sling TV which runs $19.99 per month. That will bring you the games on TNT and TBS. For CBS you can install… [Continue Reading]

  For many business managers who are making their first foray into researching ERP software, the subject can see daunting. Search the internet for "ERP software" and you’ll be inundated with dozens of pages of information and opinion; it’s a big subject and there is no shortage of commentators, experts and marketers, all vying for your attention and, of course, a share of your IT budget. The good news is that despite the technical acronym, the basic principles of ERP software are easily defined and once understood, a business manager is in a solid position to begin considering the different options… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 11:15am CET par Ian Barker

  StExBar extends Windows Explorer with some time-saving extras

  Publié: mars 13, 2017, 11:13am CET par Mike Williams

  StExBar is a tiny freeware tool which extends Windows Explorer with some handy features. The program has been around for years, but it’s just been updated to work fully on Windows 10, so we grabbed a copy to see how it would perform. Install StExBar and it immediately adds its own right-click menu to Explorer, but the toolbar will probably remain hidden until you enable it. In Windows 10 we clicked View > Options on the Explorer ribbon and selected StExBar. The StExBar toolbar appears beneath the current folder path. It’s visually very basic -- just some tiny icons with… [Continue Reading]
