  Jailbreaking puts mobile users at risk

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 9:10pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Mobile users frequently stray from official app stores when looking for new mobile applications, putting themselves under increased risk from malware, ransomware and other malicious actors. This is according to a new report by RiskIQ, which says that users in the UK are a bit more "conservative," and a bit more on the safe side compared to mobile users in the US. The report, entitled "Appsession: Is our appetite for mobile apps putting us at risk?" is based on a poll of 2,000 mobile users -- 1,000 in the UK and another 1,000 in the US. It says that 14 percent… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases first Windows 10 Redstone 3 build to the Fast ring

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 8:10pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  The majority of Windows 10 users are still waiting to receive the Creators Update, but Microsoft has just released the first update from the Development Branch to Windows Insiders on the Fast ring. Build 16170 for PC doesn’t have any new features or massive changes to get excited about (no sign of Project Neon or OneDrive On Demand Sync here) but there are plenty of smaller changes, improvements and fixes, as well as a number of known issues to watch out for.

  TP-Link Smart Wi-Fi Bulbs get color change Amazon Alexa skill

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 7:25pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Turning on a lamp or other light fixture with your voice can feel like magic. I use the feature every day with my Amazon Echo and WeMo smart outlet. At the end of the evening, when heading to bed, I verbally tell Alexa to turn off the lamp. If I need to get up at night for, say, a drink of water, I can easily turn it back on the same way. It is great. WeMo is not the only game in town, however, as there are plenty of smart outlets an bulb manufacturers. TP-Link is a popular manufacturer of smart… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 7:24pm CEST par Wayne Williams

If you’re wondering exactly what changes Microsoft has made to its new OS, we have a (nearly) complete changelog for you to browse. Courtesy of Reddit user jantari, and pulled from the various Insider Preview Build update details from ChangeWindows.org, the changelog is as follows: Major new features New OOBE (Out Of Box Experience) that guides you through the initial Windows installation and setup.

  You can remap the Bixby button on Samsung Galaxy S8

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 7:10pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Samsung has created a new personal assistant for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ and it is so confident that you will love it that it has given it its own physical button. That is great if you want to have quick access to Bixby, but not so much if you prefer Google Assistant or would like to open a different app instead, like the camera. Samsung does not provide the option to customize the Bixby button, but the good news is that you can remap the key using a dedicated app -- and here is how you can do that. XDA has… [Continue Reading]

  Why you shouldn't rush to install the Windows 10 Creators Update

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 5:36pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Although Microsoft’s official rollout of the Windows 10 Creators Update begins on April 11, you can get it now, if you so desire. I’ve updated my copy of Windows 10, because I have to. I write about Windows a lot, and so I need to be on the latest version. But if you don’t need to be running the Creators Update, and you’re not desperate for any of the new features or improvements, I’d caution against upgrading, and here’s why. SEE ALSO: Windows 10's growth has completely stalled -- can the Creators Update jump start interest in the new OS?… [Continue Reading]

  While iOS 10 powers 79 percent of iPhones and iPads, Nougat only runs on 4.9 percent of Android devices

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 5:13pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The Android landscape is changing, albeit at a really, really slow pace. That explains why, in early-April, Google reports that Nougat is found on 4.9 percent of Android devices, while the older Marshmallow powers nearly a third -- 31.2 percent -- of the smartphones and tablets that run the most-popular mobile operating system. Things couldn't be more different if we look at the iOS space, where iOS 10 currently holds a 79 percent share. Meanwhile, its predecessor, iOS 9, can be found on just 16 percent of the iPhones, iPads and iPod touch devices in use. Google released Nougat in… [Continue Reading]

  Australia sues Apple over iPhones bricked by Error 53

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 4:47pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Early last year, iPhone users upgrading to iOS 9 started to complain that their phones were being "bricked" by the process. An Error 53 was generated, and Apple explained that the bricking was intentional when it was detected that an iPhone had been subject to third party repairs. Many people were unhappy about this, and Australia is suing Apple. The country's watchdog, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), argues that consumer rights are being infringed upon. It says that Apple has engaged in "misleading or deceptive conduct and made false or misleading representations to consumers." The specifics of Error… [Continue Reading]

  YouTube: no ads until your channel has 10,000 views

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 4:26pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  YouTube is more than just a source of cat videos and hilariously painful-looking accidents caught on camera: for many people it is a source of extra income, or even a living. But the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) through which advertisements can be used to generate money is also open to abuse. The Google-owned site has a plagiarism problem whereby popular content is stolen and re-uploaded to a different channel to generate money for a third party. In a bid to stop this practice, YouTube is banning channels from displaying ads until they have managed to hit 10,000 views. The restriction… [Continue Reading]

  WikiLeaks' Vault 7 revelations continue: Grasshopper is the CIA's Windows malware maker

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 4:10pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  The latest batch of documents published by WikiLeaks as part of its Vault 7 CIA series purportedly reveals the tools used by the agency to create malware for Windows. The Grasshopper framework is revealed in 27 documents, and they show how to create Windows installers with a malware payload. Importantly, Grasshopper allows for the easy creation of custom malware delivery options, dependant on the operating system and virus protection detected on a target machine. The documents show that the CIA repurposed malware from Russian and Italian organized crime groups. The Grasshopper framework appears to have been designed to not only… [Continue Reading]

  New rating system measures national cyber security risk

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 3:43pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Although governments need to secure their nation's critical infrastructure from cyber attack, they can often lack the context in which to assess risk. Security ratings specialist BitSight is addressing this with the announcement of its Sovereign Security Ratings, the first objective measurement of national cybersecurity risk. As part of the BitSight Security Ratings Platform, the Sovereign Security Ratings portal allows analysts to benchmark the security and risk posture of multiple countries and industries in one view. With this information, government organizations gain intelligent and actionable insights into threats and can initiate action with the appropriate parties. It also allows the… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter sues US government for trying to reveal identity of anti-Trump user, @ALT_uscis

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 12:58pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  A lawsuit filed by Twitter shows that the US government has been trying to force the company to reveal the identity of a user behind an account that is critical of Donald Trump and government policies. The lawsuit reveals that Customs and Border Patrol hit Twitter with a summons in the middle of March relating to the @ALT_uscis (Alt US Citizenship and Immigration Services) account. The account is one of many "alt" accounts that sprang up after Trump inauguration, purportedly set up by disgruntled civil servants, and it is critical of immigration policy and plans to build a wall on… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook goes on the offensive against fake news and aims to educate users

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 11:43am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Having introduced various tools to fight fake news, the next weapon in Facebook's arsenal is education. Over the next few days a large "Tips for spotting fake news" banner will appear at the top of news feeds in 14 countries, but the approach it is taking is unlikely to have much impact on those most influenced by, and most likely to share, fake news. Like Google, Facebook is taking steps to tackle fake news. The social network has already announced a raft of measures aimed at stamping out the problem, but now it is trying to not only educate people… [Continue Reading]

  Browse, remove and replace media file tags with Metadata++

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 11:21am CEST par Mike Williams

  Windows File Explorer has been able to display basic media file metadata for years, but it doesn’t support all the tags you’re likely to need, and it’s inconvenient to set up and use. Metadata++ is a freeware tool for viewing, editing, extracting and copying the metadata from multiple audio, media and video file types. The program is partly a front end for the excellent console-based ExifTool, which immediately tells us there’s wide and reliable support for both file formats and metadata types. The Metadata++ interface looks and feels much like Explorer. Here’s a folder tree on the left; there are… [Continue Reading]

  Google tackles fake news with global fact-checking rollout

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 10:48am CEST par Mark Wilson

  The spread of fake news has become something of an epidemic in recent years, and there has been pressure on the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter to do more to stem its flow. Google's Fact Check feature is not new, but today the search giant is rolling out the feature around the world. A global rollout is important if such a tool is to have any real impact. It's all well and good have reports fact-checked on one side of the world, but it's of little use if the same fake stories remain unquestioned and untested elsewhere. Google is… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook's AI assistant, M, now offers suggestions in Messenger

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 10:26am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Promising to "make your Messenger experience more useful, seamless and delightful," Facebook has launched suggestions from M to everyone in the US. M is the social network's AI assistant, and iOS and Android users can now benefit from behavior-based suggestions for content and actions as the assistant analyses conversations. What this means in practice is that M might notice that you are chatting with a friend about sending them some money for something. Rather than waiting until you meet them in person, M will spring into action and suggest that you might like to send the money through Messenger. Other… [Continue Reading]

  Bitcoin price will reach £3,000 this year

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 8:40am CEST par Adam Davies

  "What leads you to believe that Bitcoin will top £3K in 2017?" The answer does not lie in an analysis of macro-economic or monetary theory but in a more interesting understanding of human behavior. An understanding of human behavior and motivation, similar to that which lead Steve Jobs to develop the products he did and the digital marketing system of today. But first, let’s rewind. Six months ago, before the Brexit vote, when the world seemed a safe and steady place, I put forward the theory that Bitcoin would surpass gold as the safe haven currency. While I pondered this… [Continue Reading]

  Canon PowerShot SX730 HS 20.3MP camera has 40x optical zoom and tilting LCD screen

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 4:45am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Smartphone cameras are wonderful nowadays, making dedicated cameras an unnecessary purchase for many. With that said, some folks still buy them when they want even better quality photos thanks to things like larger sensors and high-quality lenses. Not to mention, for the most part, smartphones do not offer optical zoom. If you need to capture photos and videos in the distance, a dedicated camera is a must. Today, Canon announces an all-new fairly compact camera with a monstrous 40x zoom. The PowerShot SX730 HS, as it is called, features 20.3 Megapixels and a 180-degree tilting rear LED screen -- perfect for vloggers… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft Surface beats Apple iPad in overall customer satisfaction according to J.D. Power

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 1:17am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  According to a recent J.D. Power study (2017 U.S. Tablet Satisfaction), Microsoft's Surface tablets have beaten Apple's iPad in overall customer satisfaction. This is significant, as it is the first time it has ever happened. The Windows-maker had not been able to topple Apple in this regard, so surely there is some champagne-popping going on at Microsoft headquarters. While high satisfaction is definitely something to be proud of, the study is arguably flawed. Why do I say this? The Surface tablets are an entirely different product class than the iPad. True, they are both "tablets" as they are rectangular and feature… [Continue Reading]

  Brits willing to trade privacy for safety

  Publié: avril 7, 2017, 12:34am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Two thirds of the UK’s general public would feel more safe if digital communications were unencrypted, according to a new report by Cable.co.uk. The argument? If the government could access our communications, it would be able to intercept messaging between terrorists plotting new attacks. Out of 2,000 UK adults polled for the report, less than a fifth (18 percent) say they believe the general public’s privacy is more valuable than organizations having power to access messages sent through apps like WhatsApp. Half (51 percent) say removing encryption would make them feel safer while 25 percent say they’d feel less safe,… [Continue Reading]
