  Google will automatically translate local reviews into your language

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 7:47pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Thanks to the internet, consumers are less likely to visit a gross restaurant or other bad location. You see, by reading online reviews, they can avoid these negative experiences. This is particularly helpful when travelling to a new city, as you may be unfamiliar with the area. Unfortunately, when visiting somewhere that speaks a language that you do not understand, these reviews are useless on their own. To read them, you have to copy and paste them into a translation service, which can be an inconvenient chore. Thankfully, Google has come up with a solution for this dilemma. Starting today, the search… [Continue Reading]

  Inspect and manage Windows processes with Process Lister

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 7:43pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Security vendor NoVirusThanks has released Process Lister, a sort-of task manager which displays running processes, their key data, and provides various ways to manipulate them. The program opens with a familiar list of processes and their details: PID, name, session, command line, 32/ 64-bit, parent PID/ process/ command line, description, company, signer, user/ domain and more. There’s plenty of detail here, but there are so many issues that we began to lose count. The process name is displayed as a full path, which means you often can’t see the executable name; you can’t click a column header to sort, you… [Continue Reading]

  Most Brits can't explain what ransomware is

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 5:28pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Despite the fact that the media is constantly buzzing with stories of successful ransomware attacks, the general public in the UK is largely unaware of the threat. Backup experts Acronis polled Brits, and in their report it says that 60 percent of respondents would not be able to explain what ransomware actually is. Sixteen percent "just heard of it," while seven percent say they could "definitely" explain what ransomware is. Fifteen percent "probably could" Acronis also says that this lack of awareness is "matched by data insecurity" among respondents. More than two thirds (69.6 percent) feel "worried" about their personal data… [Continue Reading]

  The Linux Foundation launches IoT-focused open source EdgeX Foundry, Ubuntu-maker Canonical joins

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 5:04pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  The Internet of Things is gaining in popularity just as many pundits have predicted for years. Having a connected home is easy and cost effective, thanks to devices like Amazon Echo, WeMo lights, and Nest thermostats. It really is an exciting time to be a tech-enthusiast consumer. Unfortunately, while IoT is exciting, it can also be confusing and scary. Many devices do not work together due to fragmentation, and even worse, there can be security exploits that put the consumer's home network at risk. In other words, an internet connected refrigerator or webcam could be abused by hackers. Today, The Linux Foundation… [Continue Reading]

  Chuwi unveils Surface Pro 4-like SurBook

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 5:02pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  After unveiling an affordable alternative to the Surface Book in the form of the Hi13, Chuwi is now setting its sights on Microsoft's other hybrid device, the Surface Pro 4, as it just unveiled the SurBook. The SurBook offers similar specs to the Surface Pro 4, but it will likely be offered at a fraction of the cost. It comes with some pretty interesting hardware, but the 12.3-inch 3:2 display with a resolution of 2,736 by 1,834 is probably the most impressive thing about it. It should be noted that the SurBook does not pack quite the same punch as the… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 4:51pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ launched last week, and has received many positive reviews. However, the smartphone has a problem. The screen -- which has been widely praised -- has an issue which means some suffer with a red tint. This has been confirmed by Consumer Reports in its tests of the phone. Officials have pointed out that tweaking color calibration settings is all it takes to fix the problem, but Samsung has also said that it will push out an update to address the issue. But how much of a problem is the red tint? According to Consumer… [Continue Reading]

  New platform simplifies securing cloud workloads

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 4:04pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The cloud is a dynamic environment and the threats it faces are equally fluid, whether they're sophisticated cyber attacks or insider threats. Cloud security company Lacework is launching a new tool called Polygraph that detects breaches, manages insider threats, delivers insights into workloads, and offers graphical investigation tools for public, private and hybrid cloud workloads. It's been developed to provide end-to-end visibility, so security professionals can connect and visualize elements of an attack or insider threat enabling them to respond more quickly and effectively.

  Samsung Galaxy S8+ will outsell Galaxy S8

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 4:04pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The Samsung Galaxy S8 looks to be a hit with consumers, but which of the two flagships will be the most popular? According to a report from Yuanta Securities, it will be the Galaxy S8+ that will woo buyers the most. Yuanta Securities expects Samsung to ship 50.4 million Galaxy S8 units in a year, with the Galaxy S8+ accounting for 27.1 million of those. That's 53.8 percent of overall sales, a trend which matches what the company observed with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S6 series. The edge versions in the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S6 series represented 51.9 percent… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft's LinkedIn surpasses 500 million users

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 4:01pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When searching for a job nowadays, you will find that Microsoft's LinkedIn has largely disrupted the process. Long gone are the days of emailing or faxing a resume -- you can both find and apply for a job directly through the service. Even if you are not actively searching for a new career, LinkedIn is a great place to network and meet other professionals. To show just how popular LinkedIn has become, the service today makes an impressive announcement -- it has achieved more than 500 million users in 200 countries. With a half a billion users, maybe Microsoft's $26.2 billion purchase price wasn't so crazy after… [Continue Reading]

  New service gives enterprises self-service identity management

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 3:19pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Increasing workforce mobility and the shift of systems to as-a-service models has meant greater need for a reliable means of controlling access and identifying legitimate users. Identity management specialist SailPoint is launching a new service called IdentityNow Access Request that provides a simple, mobile-ready interface for delivering a self-service access request process to employees, contractors, and business partners. It's aimed at improving IT efficiency and reducing the risk of inappropriate access by consistently enforcing organizational access policies.

  Uber tracked iPhone users even after they uninstalled the app and Tim Cook wasn't happy

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 2:12pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Uber broke Apple's rules by tagging and tracking iPhones even after users had uninstalled the taxi-hailing app. The New York Times reports that Tim Cook met with CEO Travis Kalanick and warned that the Uber app could be kicked out of the App Store for violating privacy guidelines. It is said that Uber has been found "secretly identifying and tagging iPhones" not only after the app was uninstalled, but even after phones had been wiped. The "fingerprinting" technique was used -- it is alleged -- to identify individual iPhones, and measures were taken to hide the offending code from Apple.… [Continue Reading]

  Live linear streaming will be more popular than TV in the next five years

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 1:17pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Live-linear streaming over-the-top video (OTT) will surpass traditional broadcast TV within five years, a new report by Level 3 Communications, Streaming Media and Unisphere Research says. It’s based on a poll that says 70 percent of respondents agree with the claim. The report, entitled OTT Video Services Study, polled almost 500 media industry professionals. More than a quarter of respondents expect OTT year-on-year revenue to grow as much as 25 percent, while around half expect growth to be anywhere between 30percent and 50 percent. For almost 66 percent of respondents, OTT-related services will account for more than a quarter of… [Continue Reading]

  How to get the classic Windows Defender back on Windows 10 Creators Update

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 12:48pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Change can be good, but not always. While Windows 10 is a great operating system, many people would prefer to stay with Windows 7. Stick with what they know and like. Microsoft now views Windows as a service, which means Windows 10 gets updated and changed a couple of times a year. In the latest iteration of the new operating system, Microsoft replaced the old Windows Defender with a new Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app version. But if you don’t like this change, the good news is it’s easy to restore the classic version of Windows Defender. SEE ALSO: Microsoft… [Continue Reading]

  Etcher burns images to USB keys, SD cards, more

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 12:37pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Etcher is an open-source cross-platform tool for burning images to SD cards, USB drives and other removable devices. The program keeps operations to the bare minimum, all of them clearly displayed on a simple interface. Choose your image, then your drive, and finally click the "Flash!" button. Etcher supports many different image formats: ISO, IMG, RAW, BZ2, DMG, DSK, ETCH, GZ, HDDIMG, XZ and ZIP. The program burns images only and can’t compete with more versatile products, but does at least warn you of this. We chose a Windows image, for instance, and Etcher warned us that extra processing was… [Continue Reading]

  HyperX Pulsefire FPS Gaming Mouse [Review]

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 12:14pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  HyperX is a respected gaming brand from famed company Kingston. The brand is most known for offering quality memory (RAM) -- as is its parent company -- but it has been branching out to other gaming product types too, such as headsets and mechanical keyboards. Now, the company is launching another such peripheral -- a mouse. The HyperX Pulsefire FPS, as it is called, is the brand's first gaming mouse. Its design seems inspired by some Razer mice, which isn't a bad thing. The peripheral goes on sale today, but I have been testing it in the BetaNews lab. Since it is the… [Continue Reading]

  Email unsubscription service Unroll.me sells user data; CEO is 'heartbroken' that people found out

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 11:52am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Overwhelmed by the number of emails hitting our inboxes these days, it's little wonder that a "unsubscription service" like Unroll.me came into being. Designed to make it easier to clean up your inbox, it turned out that Unroll.me was selling user data to other companies -- including Uber, which is caught up in other controversies of its own. After this came to light, CEO Jojo Hedaya has written a sorry-not-sorry-style apology. In it, he says that it was "heartbreaking" to find that users were upset to discover "how we monetize our free service." But while recognizing that people are unhappy,… [Continue Reading]

  Google fixes YouTube's LGBTQ+ filtering problem

  Publié: avril 24, 2017, 10:23am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Around this time last month, Google was facing criticism for appearing to censor LGBTQ+ videos with the Restricted Mode feature. Now the company says that it has addressed the problem and will no longer be "incorrectly filtering videos." Google says that this means hundreds of thousands of videos with LGBTQ+ content have been unlocked, and more than 12 million videos in total have been affected. The company has already issued an apology for the filtering, but now it is keen to be seen making amends. In a blog post talking about changes that have been made to Restricted Mode, Google… [Continue Reading]
