  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 8:57pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Parenting can be hard -- I get it. It can be a real hassle to monitor what a child is doing 24 hours per day.

Busted! Today, the Google Wifi router gets a new tool to help owners better manage internet access. Called "Scheduled Pause," it literally lets you pause the internet for selected devices. In other words, it could make a tablet or other device inoperable… [Continue Reading]

  Windows XP more popular than Windows 10 with businesses

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 7:37pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  If you are keeping track of Windows 10's adoption, you probably know that the operating system has hit a plateau. According to NetMarketShare, it has been hovering around the 25 percent usage share mark for a few months now. That said, it still remains the second most-popular version of Windows (and OS), coming after Windows 7. However, if we look at the business space in particular, Windows 10 is actually nowhere near as popular with PC users. Microsoft's latest operating system lags far behind Windows 7 and Windows XP too. One might expect Windows 7 to come out ahead, the… [Continue Reading]

  Hide files or folders inside JPEGs with FileFriend

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 5:33pm CEST par Mike Williams

  FileFriend is a tiny portable toolkit which can split, join, encrypt or hide your target files in a JPG. The program organizes its simple interface into four tabs: Split, Join, Encrypt and "JPK" (pack a file or folder inside a JPEG). The Split function enables splitting a target file into a fixed number of subfiles, or you can just give FileFriend the maximum size of each subfile and it’ll figure out the rest itself. Drag or drop the subfiles into the Join panel later and it’ll restore the originals in a click. The JPK function is designed to hide files… [Continue Reading]

There is no fee for using Amazon Cash, and the… [Continue Reading]

  Samsung's Galaxy S8: 'Bigger, longer, uncut!'

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 5:06pm CEST par Randall C. Kennedy

  I remember the time I accidentally stumbled upon a porn shoot in the San Fernando Valley, CA. The headliners were infamous wife-beater (and sliced manhood holder) John Wayne Bobbitt and some chick named Belladonna (Stevie Nicks dies a little inside every time I say that name). As I recall, the title card on the set said something about "bigger, longer, uncut!" And that’s what I thought of when I first laid eyes on the Samsung Galaxy S8: "Damn, is that thing LONG!" And I don’t mean that in a positive, "you should be in porn, fella!" kind of way. I mean… [Continue Reading]

  HTC celebrates Vive VR anniversary by launching Viveport Subscription service

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 4:23pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While virtual reality has long been expensive, it has become more achievable in recent years. A VR-ready PC is much more affordable, as are the VR accessories. It still isn't a simple affair, however, as there are competing platforms, such as Oculus and Vive. It can be confusing for consumers to know which to choose. Today, Vive-maker HTC announces that it is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the commercial launch of the virtual reality platform and hardware. To mark the occasion, existing users will get a free game, while new buyers of the hardware will save $100. More exciting, however, the… [Continue Reading]

  New audit solution fights insider threats against core enterprise systems

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 4:14pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Many enterprises still rely on mainframes, while these are inherently secure, audits of user activities have historically been limited to scans of disparate logs and SMF data that don’t specifically capture start-to-finish user session activity. Mainframe software specialist Compuware is launching a new cybersecurity and compliance solution that enhances the ability of enterprises to stop insider threats by fully capturing and analyzing start-to-finish mainframe application user behavior. Compuware Application Audit provides a superior approach to analyzing logs by directly capturing complete, rich start-to-finish user session activity data in real time -- including all access attempts, session keyboard commands and menu selections,… [Continue Reading]

  Android is more popular than Windows... for getting online

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 3:35pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  We already know that interest in Windows 10 is on the wane, but now Android is more popular than any version of Windows with Internet users. Google's mobile operating system has overtaken Windows as the preference for getting online for the first time. Usage figures published by StatCounter show that Android accounted for 37.93 percent of the worldwide OS Internet usage share in March. Windows is not far behind at 37.91 percent, but Android taking the lead is being described as a "milestone in technology history." The fact that Android is now topping the charts can be attributed to the… [Continue Reading]

  Poor social network password habits put business data at risk

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 3:03pm CEST par Ian Barker

  In an increasingly connected world few aspects of our lives exist in isolation. As a result, bad password habits on social networks can put work accounts at risk. A new study by account management solutions company Thycotic reveals that 53 percent of users haven’t changed their social network passwords in more than a year -- with 20 percent having never changed their passwords at all. This not only means their social network accounts are at risk but if the same password is being used elsewhere, other accounts are vulnerable too. "As we know, social networks give away a lot of… [Continue Reading]

  Virginia Tech's DIALDroid shows Android apps steal data through secret collusion

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 2:46pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Researchers from Virginia Tech have found that Android apps can work together to mine personal information from smartphones. While users have long been aware of the need to check the privacy settings and permissions for individual apps, few people will have thought of the potential for collusion between apps that, individually, have innocuous-looking settings. A team from the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech's College of Engineering developed a tool called DIALDroid (Database powered ICC AnaLysis for anDroid) and used it to monitor the exchange of data between apps. Analysis of 110,150 apps over three years found that security… [Continue Reading]

  Security researchers uncover phishing attack with very high success rate

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 2:38pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  A new and "very aggressive" airline phishing attack was just spotted, and it's one with such a high success rate that even security experts are baffled. It was spotted by Barracuda, and it says that this new attack has a success rate of 90 percent. The attack combines impersonation, advanced persistent threats and phishing, giving the attackers long-term stealth access to a myriad corporate networks. Barracuda did not say who is behind the attack, but it did reveal that the attackers' usual targets include logistics, shipping, manufacturing, and pretty much any other industry which requires a lot of travel. The attacks are… [Continue Reading]

  How to find out which of your apps are not compatible with iOS 11

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 1:43pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Last week saw the release of iOS 10.3, and thoughts are already turning to the next major release of Apple's mobile operating system. When iOS 11 launches later this year, it is not expected to support 32-bit apps and this means that a number of apps that have not been updated accordingly will stop working. Built into iOS 10.3 is a tool that can be used to quickly determine which of your apps could die in iOS 11. While it's possible that updates might be released for them, Apple's move away from 32-bit software is far from new, so it's… [Continue Reading]

  Pay-as-you-go cloud platform offers fast, convenient web design

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 12:36pm CEST par Ian Barker

  It's a rare business that doesn't have a website these days, but for smaller companies the process of building a site and keeping it up to date can be costly and time consuming. Texas-based startup Snaplitics is aiming to fix this with the launch of an affordable tool for creating professional websites and landing pages without having to hire developers. "A professional website that looks less than three years old and tells a story is a crucial component of a business's success," says co-founder Sean Hynes, "We wanted to make the process widely approachable to even non-tech-savvy users without inflated,… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 users can now download videos from Netflix for offline viewing

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 12:19pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Streaming services like Netflix are proving increasingly popular as fans of television and movies cut the cord and look for on-demand options that better suit their needs. Having previously made it possible for iOS and Android users to download content for offline viewing -- complete with optimized codecs -- Netflix is now doing the same for Windows 10 users. The idea is pretty simple. Netflix acknowledges the fact that subscribers may well want to be able to access their favorite shows when they do not have an Internet connection, and is therefore providing the perfect solution: Download & Go.

  Apple ditches Imagination Technology and will make its own iPhone GPU chips

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 11:19am CEST par Mark Wilson

  In a dramatic announcement, British firm Imagination Technology has revealed that in 15 to 25 months' time Apple will no longer be using its GPU chips. Imagination's graphic chips are used in the iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple TV and Apple Watch, and the revelation sent the British firm's shares into freefall. Apple will reduce its reliance on Imagination's technology as, the chip-maker explains, it "has asserted that it has been working on a separate, independent graphics design in order to control its products and will be reducing its future reliance on Imagination’s technology."

  Many UK businesses cancelled GDPR preparations due to Brexit

  Publié: avril 3, 2017, 10:47am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Here's a facepalm moment for you this morning -- a quarter of UK businesses stopped preparing for the GDPR thinking the regulation won't apply once the UK leaves the EU. The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, has been ratified by the UK and will come into force on May 2018 -- which will almost certainly be before the UK leaves the EU. Even if the UK leaves before, however, the GDPR will still apply for all companies wanting to do business with the EU. Crown Records Management has polled IT decision makers in the UK, and came to results which… [Continue Reading]
