  The real cost of on-premises backups

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 11:36pm CEST par Alexander Negrash

  The adoption of cloud IT services by small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) is increasing at an exponential rate. But despite the robust adoption rates and proven track record of cloud technology, many organizations of all sizes, including SMBs, are still relying on on-premises backup methods. By doing so they may very well be draining themselves of valuable resources, including financial resources. This article discusses the specific ways in which these organizations that continue to rely on on-premises instead of cloud backups are costing themselves money. It discusses benefits of adopting the cloud backup model, and addresses common concerns and misconceptions… [Continue Reading]

  How millions of Android devices could be at risk of total takeover

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 6:55pm CEST par John Mason

  Originally developed as a digital camera platform, Android has definitely come a long way. It just surpassed Windows to become the most popular operating system for Internet usage in the global digital realm. This has been established through a report by StatCounter, which states that the global OS Internet usage market share of Android (37.93 percent) is 0.2 percentage points ahead of Windows (37.91 percent). You can check out the global operating system market share map, here. This is a huge win for Android, which accounted for a mere 2.4 percent of the worldwide Internet usage almost five years ago. Interestingly, Microsoft… [Continue Reading]

  G-Technology unveils G-DRIVE USB-C storage drive with up to 10TB capacity for MacBook Pro

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 4:55pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  The newest MacBook Pro only has USB-C ports. For some, this can be a pain point. For others, it is refreshing to only have the most modern connectors. As time marches on, other manufacturers will likely follow Apple by forgoing USB Type-A entirely too. Today, G-Technology unveils a beautiful new external storage drive. Called "G-DRIVE USB-C," it is designed for the MacBook and MacBook Pro, but it will work with Windows and Linux too (a Type-A cable is included in the box). The 3.5-inch 5400 RPM drive features speeds up to 195MB/s, is available in capacities up to 10TB, and offers power-delivery so it can… [Continue Reading]

  Noontec Hammo TV wireless headphones review

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 4:26pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Wireless headphones are great. There's no question about it. I became a convert after using the Noontec ZORO II last year, which are so good that I haven't touched a wired pair since. But recently I found myself using -- and liking -- another Noontec product more. It's called Hammo TV and it's pair of wireless headphones designed for the television crowd. But, based on my experience, the Hammo TV is also great if you just want to listen to your favorite tunes on your smartphone or enjoy a movie on your laptop. And, compared to the ZORO II set I reviewed, they have a lower MSRP and… [Continue Reading]

  The Windows 10 Creators Update is rolling out to users from today.

  Microsoft gives free Surface Dock with Surface Pro 4 purchase -- because of Surface Pro 5?

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 3:15pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  The Surface line of computers are absolutely wonderful. If you want one of the best experiences for running Windows 10, it is hard to beat Microsoft's self-made PCs. Heck, they recently beat Apple's iPad tablets in overall satisfaction. Not only can they serve as laptops and tablets, but desktops too. By connecting the Surface Dock to the Surface Pro 4, for instance, you can easily connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. The problem? That dock costs $199.99. If the thought of shelling out two "Benjamins" for the dock gives you pause, I have great news. Starting today, Microsoft is giving… [Continue Reading]

  Free up over 20GB of hard drive space in Windows 10 by cleaning up after the Creators Update

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 1:53pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft has just released its biggest update to Windows 10 yet. The Creators Update introduces lots of new features and general improvements, including new privacy and security options, Paint 3D, Night Light, Game Mode, Dynamic Lock, and more. However, a big update like this requires a big download, and the files that Microsoft places on your system don’t get removed afterwards. In other words, the Creators Update could be responsible for taking a massive bite out of your free hard drive space -- tens of gigabytes in fact. Fortunately it’s easy enough to reclaim this.

  Cerebro is a keyboard-friendly launcher and search tool

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 1:51pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Cerebro is an open-source Alfred-like search bar and application launcher for Windows, Linux and Mac. The program aims to be a mix of your OS search with a web search engine, and can be extended even further with a host of plugins and addons. Press Ctrl+Space to launch Cerebro, start typing and it updates in real-time to show what you can do. We typed Paint, for instance, and saw options to launch Paint or Paint.NET, search the web for "paint" or translate the word. We continued, typed "Painting", the app launch items disappeared and we saw web search options including… [Continue Reading]

  Debunking the three major ransomware myths

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 1:21pm CEST par Wieland Alge

  On March 14, the UK National Crime Agency and National Cyber Security Center sounded the alarm about the growing cyber threat. One of their conclusions was that ransomware represents a significant, and growing, threat to UK business. Combine this with the fact that the last 12 months has seen cyber attacks on an unprecedented scale, and you’ve got a melting pot of cyber activity right now. These warnings come as no surprise. Ransomware use has exploded over the past year or so, particularly in the UK, simply because it is an easy way for cyber criminals to make significant amounts… [Continue Reading]

  Has Windows 10 Creators Update reset your default apps back to Microsoft stock?

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 1:17pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  It should come as no surprise that some users -- myself included -- have experienced a problem with the new Windows 10 Creators Update changing existing app default choices back to Microsoft’s own bundled apps. This, after all, was a problem that we saw previously after both the November and Anniversary Update rollouts. In my case, shortly after I installed the Creators Update, I found videos opening in Microsoft’s own Films & TV app. While I don’t mind this app, I never use it. I changed the default back to VLC Media Player, where it remained for several hours until… [Continue Reading]

  Why technology is key to managing mobile workforces

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 1:00pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Workforces are increasingly mobile, but that presents a problem for businesses when it comes to controlling workloads. Scheduling software specialist Skedulo and marketing company Column Five have produced an infographic showing how technology is key to managing field workers. Key findings are that in 2020, the mobile workforce is projected to make up 70 percent of the total workers in the United States, with the healthcare industry leading the way. Ensuring mobile workers are at optimal efficiency and productivity is a top concern of 57 percent of field service organisations. In addition, by 2018, 70 percent of field service workers… [Continue Reading]

  What you need to know about moving monoliths to microservices

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 11:44am CEST par Chris Stetson

  There are many benefits to the "monolithic" application model -- especially at the beginning of a project -- but monoliths can become unwieldy over time, limiting companies’ ability to move quickly and flexibly in today’s dynamic business environment. To overcome this and other issues, companies like Amazon, eBay and Netflix are leveraging microservice architectures. The microservices model has been defined by Martin Fowler, author, software developer and an early supporter of microservices as "an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms, often an HTTP resource API."… [Continue Reading]

  Global IT spending will reach $3.5 trillion in 2017

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 10:34am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Worldwide IT spending will jump another 1.4 percent this year, according to a new report by Gartner. The report says IT spending is expected to hit $3.5 trillion this year. A quarter before, the increase was 2.7 percent, but the difference occurred mostly due to the strengthening of the US dollar. "The strong US dollar has cut $67 billion out of our 2017 IT spending forecast," says John-David Lovelock, research vice president at Gartner. "We expect these currency headwinds to be a drag on earnings of US-based multinational IT vendors through 2017." There will be a slight grow in the… [Continue Reading]

  It's game over for Windows Vista as Microsoft ends support today

  Publié: avril 11, 2017, 9:24am CEST par Wayne Williams

  According to NetMarketShare, Windows Vista's usage share is now down to just 0.72 percent of the desktop OS market. In the real world, that's still quite a large number of people using Vista -- around 10 million or so -- although significantly fewer than those using XP. The ancient OS, which Microsoft stopped supporting in 2014, currently has 7.44 percent share, making it the third most popular version of Windows after 7 and 10. Yes, it's more popular than Windows 8.1 which has 6.66 percent share -- go figure. Today, April 11 2017, is the day when Microsoft kills its… [Continue Reading]
