  System76 all-new 'Galago Pro' Ubuntu Linux laptop now available for pre-order

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 11:08pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you are a Linux desktop user, you know that buying a laptop can be a pain. You undoubtedly have purchased a Windows machine, formatted the drive, and then installed your favorite distro. This sometimes works well, although you then have that Windows logo on your keyboard. Look, I'm not an anti-Microsoft Linux user, but having the Windows icon on your keyboard takes away from the overall experience. Luckily, there are companies like System76 that sell computers pre-loaded with Linux-based operating systems (with no Windows key on the keyboard!). Its machines come with Ubuntu, but they can run any Linux distro, such as… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 10:21pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  An embedded system is a device with a computer inside that doesn't look like a computer. Washing machines, televisions, printers, cars, aircraft, and robots are all controlled by a computer of some sort, and in some cases, more than one. As these devices become more complex, and as our expectations of the things that we can do with them expand, the need for a powerful operating system to control them grows. The Linux: Embedded Development ebook from Packt Publishing will tell you everything you need to know to leverage the power of Linux to develop captivating and powerful embedded Linux… [Continue Reading]

  Public clouds not for core apps? Businesses challenging this preconception

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 10:21pm CEST par Rich Fenton

  With its greater performance, reliability, and scalability, it is little surprise that we’re seeing a boom in  the deployment of public cloud services. According to a recent survey by Gartner, companies consider public cloud to be both the most disruptive and most impactful issue facing them in 2017. In fact, IDC predicts that the worldwide public cloud services spending forecast will double to more than $141 billion by 2019. For most organizations, this first venture into public cloud has been in deploying new applications to engage with their customers (systems of engagement). Now, having successfully used public cloud platforms for… [Continue Reading]

  Delivery firm Hermes trials self-driving robots in London

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 9:14pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Amazon has been talking about using drones as a way to deliver parcels to customers for some time, but Hermes has a more down to earth solution it’s about to start trialing in London -- self driving robots. In partnership with Starship Technologies, the courier firm will soon trial a number of parcel collections in the London borough of Southwark. This follows on from a successful pilot project which saw Hermes Germany test parcel delivery by robot in the Ottensen, Volksdorf and Grindel suburbs of Hamburg. Hermes sees this approach as a more viable alternative to drones, especially in highly… [Continue Reading]

  How to convince IT decision makers to embrace DevOps

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 8:42pm CEST par T.J. Randall

  Years ago, comedian Steve Martin joked about the best trick to play on a three year-old kid: "Whenever you’re around him," he said, "talk wrong." On his first day at school, the kid will raise his hand and say, "May I mambo dogface to the banana patch?" Pitching a project for implementing DevOps at your company can make you feel a lot like that kid. To you, the ask is crystal clear. To your executives, it’s mumbo jumbo. Why? Because if you’re like lots of technical folks, you’re using technical terms to make your case. However, "technical" is not the… [Continue Reading]

  Reducing downtime is a huge financial opportunity

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 7:38pm CEST par Robert Golightly

  In creating a world that doesn’t break down, a huge $20B opportunity is on the table for the process industry to address. Astute manufacturers should focus on reducing unplanned downtime and increasing asset utilization, as both processes represent the biggest opportunities for financial improvement in production operations. Albert Einstein could well be alluding to smart manufacturing when he said: "If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on it, I would use the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft shows off Edge's battery usage improvements in Windows 10 Creators Update

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 5:23pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  The war over which web browser offers the best battery life to laptop users has been waging for some time. Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge have all been battling it out, and with the release of Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft thinks it's time to show off the improvements that have been made to its browser. In Microsoft's own tests -- involving streaming video on a Surface Book -- Edge lasted for over three hours longer than Chrome, and nearly five hours longer than Firefox. These are figures that will almost certainly be disputed in further tests by Mozilla and… [Continue Reading]

  GetDiz: a Notepad replacement with a difference

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 4:24pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Notepad replacements are usually aimed at the most technical users, and like to boast about their syntax highlighting for 500 languages, customizable Git integration and support for more code pages than you ever knew existed. GetDiz isn’t interested in any of that, it doesn’t even have tabs, but if you just want something that’s like Notepad, but better, it might appeal. The program looks and works a lot like Notepad, with similar menu items, largely identical hotkeys, even some dialogs (Replace) appear very similar. You’ll feel at home right away. There are some obvious extras which you’ll also recognize immediately.… [Continue Reading]

  Employees in the dark about data retention policy

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 4:12pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Enterprises are increasingly bound by legal and compliance requirements to retain information and communications. Yet a new study reveals that over half of office-based employees say their companies don't have written policies on data retention or personal use of work devices, or if they do, they aren’t aware of them. The study conducted by Harris Poll for e-discovery company kCura reveals communication habits that could put organizations at risk of incurring increased data retention and discovery costs in today's increasingly litigious business environment. "With so much data to organize, risk and costs can -- and do -- get out of… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon launches Parent Dashboard and Discussion Cards to allow greater parental control

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 3:38pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  The problem with unleashing any child onto the internet is keeping track of what they are up to, and trying to ensure they're not accessing content you'd rather they didn't. With this in mind, Amazon has launched two new services for its Fire for Kids tablet. Parent Dashboard and Discussion Cards not only give parents the chance to keep an eye on what their kids are doing, but also to encourage dialog about apps and content. Amazon says the aim is to connect parents and children, but it's also about managing time limits and setting educational goals. Parent Dashboard is… [Continue Reading]

  TP-Link launches Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 3:15pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Mesh Wi-Fi home networks are all the rage nowadays. If you aren't familiar, it is the use of several access points as opposed to a single router. For larger homes in particular, a mesh option can provide greater coverage -- potentially minimizing dead zones. Today, TP-Link launches Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System. Not only does the 802.11ac offering offer respectable specifications, but they look very attractive too -- yes, that matters. The access points (you get three of them) look like white small hockey pucks, allowing them to be placed in any room in your home without being too conspicuous. It even… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 1:05pm CEST par Nick Peers

  It can sometimes feel like Microsoft is playing a game with us over privacy. It promises to respect people’s rights in one sentence, then unleashes a new version of Windows 10 that finds new ways in which to spy on people. Mindful of this endless dance, O&O Software has released O&O ShutUp 10 1.5, the latest version of its free, portable tool that locks down privacy settings in Windows 10. Version 1.5 focusses on improving privacy in the brand new Creator’s Update release.

  Google AutoDraw is like autocomplete for your doodles

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 12:28pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Machine learning has been put to lots of powerful uses, but Google has a new way to make use of the technology. AutoDraw is the company's "fast drawing" tool for everyone, and it works much like autocomplete on your phone. AutoDraw is a web-based drawing tool that uses the same technology as Google's Quick, Draw! AI experiment and it helps you to quickly create an image by "guessing" what it is you’re trying to draw. If this all sounds a bit mad, that's because, well, it is really. But it's also unique enough to make it well worth checking out.… [Continue Reading]

  Preventing cyber attacks -- this time it's personal

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 12:09pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Security professionals are putting pressure on themselves to secure their organization's systems according to the findings of a new report. The 2017 Security Pressures Report from managed security specialist Trustwave surveyed over 1,600 security decision makers around the world and finds that while 53 percent of respondents report increased pressure in trying to secure their organization, that pressure is becoming more personal as 24 percent say they put the most pressure on themselves, up from 13 percent last year. The findings also show that pressure from the boardroom and from c-level executives has decreased significantly as it's shifted to IT… [Continue Reading]

  Brexit voter registration website may have suffered DDoS attack at the hands of Russia or China

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 10:34am CEST par Mark Wilson

  The Brexit process is now officially underway, but there is still a good deal of talk about the validity of the outcome. A number of members of parliament have expressed concerns that a foreign government may have interfered with the referendum, making it difficult or impossible for people to register to vote. The Commons public administration and constitutional affairs committee (PACAC) has published a report which looks at the possible causes for the crash of the "register to vote" site last year. It suggests that the crash bears the hallmarks of a DDoS attack, and notes that this is a… [Continue Reading]

  Google Chrome gets scroll anchoring

  Publié: avril 12, 2017, 3:25am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Google Chrome is a great web browser for many reasons. Like Firefox, it is a cross-platform program based on (mostly) open source technologies, but compared to Mozilla's offering, its development moves at a much faster pace. Google is constantly pushing the envelope, creating a largely positive web browsing experience. Today, Google introduces a new Chrome web browser feature that highlights the search giant's forward-thinking. Called "scroll anchoring," it literally "anchors" the web page, preventing the page from scrolling to the top in certain circumstances. In other words, if the user is reading text on a page, it will prevent the page from shifting and interrupting… [Continue Reading]

After all, sometimes you just want to connect a phone or tablet while relaxing at home -- a battery is not needed.

Today, Logitech announces a new speaker system called "Z537 Powerful Sound With Bluetooth." This 2.1 system features dual satellites and a subwoofer. You can connect devices to… [Continue Reading]
