  Toshiba launches 3.5-inch 8TB N300 'High-Reliability' NAS hard disk drive for consumers

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 10:37pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Solid state drives are new and "sexy" nowadays, so understandably, mechanical hard disk drives aren't exactly exciting. With that said, SSDs cannot touch HDDs from a capacity standpoint, so they are still very much relevant -- not only for large businesses and data centers, but for home users and small businesses too. Today, Toshiba launches a new mechanical HDD that offers capacities up to 8TB. The company says the 3.5 inch drive is primarily for networked attached storage, but it can, of course, also be used inside PCs or with USB enclosures. The consumer-focused drive is designed to last, as Toshiba calls… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 9:28pm CEST par Andrei Călina

  Your two-year contract is almost up and you can’t wait to switch to another carrier, that has cheaper plans and better options. Your mobile data is never enough, and on top of everything you pay absurd roaming fees every time you travel. Or maybe you want to get your hands on a new flagship, like the Samsung Galaxy S8, for example, but you can’t afford a SIM-free version, so getting it with a two-year contract remains the best option. Unfortunately, everybody knows that such phones come locked... Worry not, it's perfectly possible to unlock your phone and the process is… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 8:21pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  As you probably know by now, Microsoft is blocking Windows Updates on Windows 7 and 8.1 systems powered by next-generation processors like Kaby Lake and Ryzen. It’s yet another of Microsoft’s desperate efforts to get users to switch to Windows 10, and one that -- understandably -- hasn’t gone down well with users who don’t want to upgrade to the new operating system. Thankfully, there is now a workaround. SEE ALSO: The desperate tricks Microsoft employs to force customers to upgrade to Windows 10 A GitHub developer called zeffy has found a way to defeat Microsoft’s block.

  Lloyds Bank offers Windows Hello facial and fingerprint recognition

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 8:03pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Lloyds Bank customers will soon be able to log into their accounts through fingerprint scanners and facial recognition technology, rather than typing in passwords. According to the bank, it has teamed up with Microsoft to bring the Windows 10 authentication technology to its customers. The biometric authentication technology, which Microsoft named Windows Hello, uses a combination of infrared technology and advanced software to identify the user in various lighting conditions. It was also emphasized that fraudsters can’t bypass the security measure by using a photograph. "With customer experience and security at the forefront of our minds, we are keen to… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 6:48pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When buying a computer monitor nowadays, there are a lot of factors to consider. Price is very important, as it will determine what type of features and specifications you can get. Of course, cost aside, you must determine what you need and want. Yeah, a high resolution is great, but can your computer handle, say, a 4K display? Gamers, for instance, need to decide if they want to take a performance hit for a higher resolution. Toady, AOC unveils a beautiful new 4K UHD display.

  Google Maps for iOS gains Your Timeline feature so you can check your travel history

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 6:42pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  It's something that Android users have been able to do for a little while now -- using the Timeline function of Google Maps to check back over their travel history. Now the feature is coming to iOS, meaning iPhone users can now look back over their day and where it has taken them. Google suggests that it's a great way to rediscover places you have visited in the past, but it also provides a means of tracking how far you have traveled over the course of the day.

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 4:41pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Two of the biggest electronic payment systems currently available to consumers are teaming up. Android Pay and PayPal have extended their strategic partnership making it possible to use PayPal as a payment method in Android Pay. This means that anyone whose bank is not supported by Android Pay now has a new option available to them, bringing additional users to Google's payment system. Google doesn't have a great deal to say about the expansion but does offer the following: "Millions of people already use their PayPal account to make online purchases, receive payments and send money to friends and family.… [Continue Reading]

  New edge platform delivers faster digital experiences

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 4:11pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A great deal of today's data is generated by users at the edge of corporate networks. It therefore makes sense to process and serve this information closer to where it originates. San Francisco-based Fastly is unveiling its new edge cloud platform, which allows popular businesses to deliver consistently secure, fast and personalized digital experiences as close to end users as possible. "Our goal is to help the world’s leading digital businesses operate fully at the edge for the best possible performance," says Artur Bergman, CEO and founder of Fastly.

  MSI launches svelte GP62X and GP72X Leopard Pro Series Windows 10 gaming laptops

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 4:05pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  We live in a wonderful world where you can do hardcore PC gaming literally anywhere. Thanks to powerful laptops, you can play modern PC games in such places as a park, at a kitchen table, or coffee shop. Unfortunately, many of these gaming laptops are hardly portable -- they can be quite heavy and bulky. Luckily, there are thinner and lighter models nowadays. Today, MSI launches some new fairly svelte gaming notebooks -- the GP62X and GP72X Leopard Pro Series. These machines feature modern specifications, such as Kaby Lake processors, DDR4, and NVMe storage drives. Not to mention, they are very attractive -- the… [Continue Reading]

  Omnicode Snatch is a quirky desktop recorder

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 3:40pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Omnicode Snatch is a free tool for capturing video and audio of what’s happening on your desktop. The program interface is, well, a surprise. There are no menus, toolbars or panels, no flashy graphics, hi-res icons or even any touches of color -- it’s just a mess of buttons, boxes and lists. We looked more closely, but it doesn’t get any better. Buttons aren’t grouped logically, they’re not always called what you expect, the interface feels like it’s been thrown together in five minutes (at most). Fortunately, Snatch is much easier to use than it looks. You can set up… [Continue Reading]

  New Samsung Places tool makes it easier to call businesses

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 3:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  While people often search for businesses on the web, the most popular way of actually getting in touch is still by phone. But that means getting the details from your browser and switching to the dialer app to make the call. Caller profiling and phone spam protection company Hiya is launching the first implementation of its Hiya Business Profiles product for the Samsung Galaxy S8, which allows users to find and call businesses from within the dialer. Samsung Places will replace the Favorites tab in the native dialer and provide users with an integrated search and discovery experience. It delivers… [Continue Reading]

  New tool offers flexible feature delivery for mobile developers

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 1:44pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Businesses are clamoring for up to date mobile apps, but in the past the approach has tended to be all or nothing, with no real way of testing new features on some users before rolling them out to everyone. Mobile developer tool specialist Rollout.io is launching a new ROX by Rollout tool that gives mobile app developers the ability to selectively deliver new features to subsets of users and monitor the performance of those features, making intelligent, data-driven recommendations about further deployment. "Data-driven deployment is the future of mobile app development," says Erez Rusovsky, co-founder and CEO of Rollout. "With… [Continue Reading]

  Businesses are unprepared for the Industrial IoT

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 1:03pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Many companies are unprepared for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), even though most executives at those companies realize that the future of their business could depend on it, according to a new study. The research from the Business Performance Innovation Network finds that 52 percent of executives at large enterprises -- and 41 percent of executives at all companies -- expect the IIoT to have a significant or major impact on their industry within three years. IIoT adoption is gaining ground according to 55 percent of respondents, yet just 1.5 percent of executives at large companies say they have a… [Continue Reading]

  Mozilla ditches Aurora release channels for Firefox; new and beta code will hit users faster

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 1:01pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Mozilla has announced plans to eliminate one of its release channels for not only Firefox but also Thunderbird and SeaMonkey. Starting today, the Aurora release channel will no longer be updated, and the Developer Edition of the web browser will be based on the Beta build. The change is part of a drive to streamline the release process, and to make sure that stable new features make their way out to not only developers, but also normal users faster than before. Mozilla says: "Developer Edition users will maintain their Developer Edition themes, tools, and preferences, will keep their existing profile,… [Continue Reading]

  I'm out of the closet!

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 12:16pm CEST par Randall C. Kennedy

  I have a dirty little secret to share: I like Microsoft Edge. There, I said it. Phew! Nice to finally have that off my chest! No more embarrassed looks as I surf the web in the airport lounge. No more keeping Google Chrome open in the background so I can quickly switch lest some tech-savvy passerby glances at my screen and chuckles at my "noobishness." Nope. I’m officially out of the browser closet! I like Edge. I mean, I really like Edge -- as in I prefer it to more mainstream choices, like Chrome. In fact, I find myself using… [Continue Reading]

  How to access Microsoft Edge's secret full screen mode

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 12:05pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  If you're looking for distraction-free web browsing, it makes sense to switch to full screen mode. This is something that is very easy to achieve in the likes of Chrome, Opera and Firefox, but Windows 10 users who have opted to stick with Microsoft Edge don’t seem to have such a good deal. But this is just a matter of appearances. Edge does have a secret full screen mode that you can access very easily. Quite why Microsoft chose not to advertise the feature is anyone's guess, but there you go! Fire up Microsoft Edge, take a look through the… [Continue Reading]

  A fifth of UK firms hit by cyber-attacks, putting private data at risk

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 11:10am CEST par Mark Wilson

  UK companies are ill-equipped to deal with cyber-attacks, a report by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) says. Nearly one in five smaller companies (18 percent) have fallen prey to cybercrime, and the figures are even worse for larger firms. When looking at companies with more than 100 employees, the number that have been hit by cyber-attacks jumps to a staggering 42 percent. More than three quarters of the firms surveyed by the BCC did not have anti-hacking security measures in place, and most relied on third-party firms to clean up after an attack rather than having in-house solutions. The… [Continue Reading]

  IT convergence drops costs and complexity

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 2:31am CEST par Gur Shatz

  The IT infrastructure landscape is in the middle of a massive change. The proliferation of point security and networking appliances continues to drive up IT cost structures. Cloud adoption and the shift to a mobile workforce has made connectivity between entities other than physical offices ever more critical. Buying more point-solution or continuing to running networks separately only adds more complexity and cost. Instead we’re starting to see the convergence of IT. By moving towards a simpler infrastructure with fewer point solutions, we reduce the costs and complexity plaguing our current IT environments. This trend is playing out across four… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook vows to do better after murder video

  Publié: avril 18, 2017, 12:51am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  By now you undoubtedly have seen news coverage of the so-called "Facebook Murder." While the social network was not responsible for the killing, the suspect did upload a video of the murder to Facebook. The video upload aspect of the killing has lead to reflections on society's reliance on social networks, but it is important to remember that there is a real victim here -- a 74-year old grandfather named Robert Godwin. His justice and remembrance is more important than blaming Facebook for not removing the video fast enough. Of course, Facebook still has a responsibility to issue a statement on the situation,… [Continue Reading]
