  Acer unveils 11.6-inch TravelMate Spin B1 Windows 10 S convertible laptop for education

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 10:13pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  The big news of the day is the newest version of Microsoft's desktop operating system -- Windows 10 S. In fact, the company even announced a new computer to showcase the education-focused OS -- the $1,000 Surface Laptop. While Microsoft's newest notebook is drop-dead gorgeous and super premium, the "S" variant of Windows is probably more appropriate for less expensive laptops. Luckily, many manufacturers will be leveraging the new OS for more affordable machines. Today, Acer unveils its first-ever Windows 10 S notebook, and it is less than a third of the cost of a Surface Laptop ($299) -- wow! The 11.6-inch… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft reveals the hidden story behind Bing's Image of the Day

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 9:13pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Let’s be honest, the best thing about Bing isn’t its search results, but rather the gorgeous images that appear on the homepage every day. If you enjoy these photos, but would like to know more about them -- such as where a picture was taken, and what it actually is -- the good news is Microsoft is now providing a full story for each new image, and you just need to scroll down to see it.

  Logitech SLIM FOLIO turns your 5th generation Apple iPad 2017 into a laptop for productivity

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 9:04pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When you want a tablet for consumption, there is no better product than the iPad. For creation, however, it can be lacking. For typists in particular -- including students needing to take notes -- the lack of a keyboard makes it a tough sell. While the Pro iPads can be used with an official keyboard from Apple, those tablets are very expensive. Luckily, there are third-party offerings for the more affordable traditional variants too. Today, Logitech announces a new keyboard case for the 5th generation iPad 2017. Called the "SLIM FOLIO," it transforms Apple's inexpensive 9.7-inch tablet into a laptop. It… [Continue Reading]

  How to activate YouTube's new Dark Theme and more

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 8:21pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Three weeks ago, we explained how you could enable YouTube’s hidden Dark Mode. The process then only worked in Chrome and required a little tinkering. Google has now made it possible for anyone to easily switch to the dark side, and that’s not all. There’s now a whole new Material Design look for the site which Google says will make YouTube "easier and more fun to use." To access the new version of the site, all you have to do is go to youtube.com/new, and click the Try It Now button. What you’ll get, according to Google, is: Clean design:… [Continue Reading]

  It will cost $49 to upgrade a Window 10 S device to Windows 10 Pro, but not everyone will need to pay [Update]

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 8:00pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  If you decide to buy Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop for $999, but would prefer to have Windows 10 Pro on it, rather than the slightly crippled Windows 10 S, the good news is you can upgrade to that version. The not so good news is it will cost you $49 to do so. Well, it will cost some buyers anyway, others will get the upgrade for free, if they act quickly. The $49 upgrade doesn’t just apply to buyers of the Surface Laptop, that’s what it will cost to upgrade any Windows 10 S device if you’re not involved in… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook Messenger rolls out Instant Games globally, with turn-based gameplay and bots

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 7:38pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Facebook has been introducing games to its Messenger chat app for a while. It started with simple hidden gems like Chess, Basketball, and Soccer, and then added arcade games to the mix. Today, the social networking giant begins to roll out Instant Games on Messenger globally, and for all users on both iOS and Android. But that’s not all. In addition, Facebook is also launching the new features that it previewed to developers at its annual F8 conference, which include advanced gameplay elements like turn based games, leaderboards and tournaments, and gamebots. While there are a lot of games to… [Continue Reading]

  NirSoft unveils UninstallView 1.0

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 6:45pm CEST par Mike Williams

  NirSoft has released UninstallView (32-bit here), a portable tool which collects and displays information on your stored applications. Don’t be fooled by the name. UninstallView isn’t trying to compete with GeekUninstaller and has no program-removing abilities, it’s just a better version of the standard Windows Add/ Remove Programs applet. UninstallView’s first advantage is the vast amount of data it displays about each application: name, version, install date, Registry time (the date and time the Registry key of the software was modified), install location, the regular and quiet uninstall strings, the About, Help and Update URLs (if provided), the location of… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft's new Surface Laptop runs Windows 10 S and starts at $999

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 6:37pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Microsoft is trying to shake things up in the education market with the new Windows 10 S and Surface Laptop. And it's approaching things from two different directions. While the former is a lighter, less complex and easier to manage version of Windows 10 that's meant to compete with Chrome OS, the first Surface laptop, which it's using to showcase this operating system, is not actually a Chromebook competitor. The Surface Laptop is a device aimed at college students and other prospective buyers looking for a Surface-branded laptop. So it features a high-end build, speedy internals, and, like you would expect, it has the price to… [Continue Reading]

  The OnePlus 5 is coming soon

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 5:10pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Nearly a year has passed since the OnePlus 3 was introduced, and even though it received an unexpected mid-cycle refresh in the form of the OnePlus 3T, consumers are expecting a new flagship killer to be announced soon. OnePlus is well aware of this, so it has kicked off the teasing game to build up hype ahead of the big unveiling. OnePlus is among those smartphone makers that lets official information trickle down in the months before a new smartphone is released, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the company and its CEO hinting at a new flagship killer on… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft declares war on Chromebooks with education-focused Windows 10 S

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 4:43pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Windows 10 is a great operating system. Despite some vocal detractors, many people enjoy it every day for home, school and work. It is for this reason that Microsoft's overall Windows marketshare is the majority by far -- macOS and Linux-based operating systems are largely insignificant. In the education segment, however, Google has been having some success with its Linux-based Chromebooks. Microsoft seems unhappy with the search giant taking some of its share of the pie. Today, in response to Google's Chrome OS, Microsoft launches a new operating system -- Windows 10 S. The mantra for this OS, as per Microsoft,… [Continue Reading]

  Is it time to replace the VPN?

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 4:23pm CEST par Ruoting Sun

  It’s time to replace the traditional VPN and regain trust of your endpoints with a more secure and easier approach to remote access. VPNs have typically been the go-to solution for access to internal applications, with one-third of access requests to corporate networks coming from outside the firewall. However, VPNs come with security drawbacks, including the increased risk of unauthorized remote access to sensitive data. Typically, they grant access at the network level, meaning every user with VPN rights can access the same applications that any other user can, which is a risky practice. With more requests for access coming… [Continue Reading]

  Free tool allows Active Directory users to test for weak passwords

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 4:18pm CEST par Ian Barker

  While security is still heavily reliant on passwords, they represent a target for hackers and weak or reused choices offer an easy way into systems. Security awareness training company KnowBe4 is releasing a free Weak Password Test (WPT) tool for organizations that use Active Directory, allowing them to check for multiple types of threats related to weak passwords. Checks carried out by the tool include looking for the most common passwords and dictionary passwords, finding passwords shared among multiple accounts, and identifying accounts with no requirement to regularly change the password. It can also find accounts that store passwords using… [Continue Reading]

  IBM ships malware infected flash drives to Storwize customers

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 3:44pm CEST par Ian Barker

  IBM is warning customers of its Storwize hybrid enterprise storage solutions that it has accidentally sent out some malware infected USB sticks. Companies ordering the Storwize V3500, V3700 and V5000 Gen 1 flash storage solutions may have been sent the infected sticks. The malware is contained in the directory for the initialization tool and when the tool is run it gets copied to a temporary directory on the computer’s hard drive. The malware doesn't target the storage system itself and it doesn't run automatically but, if launched, it will try to infect the Windows system it's on and may download… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook denies allowing advertisers to target people based on their emotional state

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 3:32pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  A leaked internal document shows that Facebook is capable of identifying people according to their emotional state. The document, seen by The Australian, shows how the social network can monitor users' posts and determine when they are feeling "stressed, defeated, overwhelmed, anxious, nervous, stupid, silly, useless, or a failure." The leak pertains to Facebook's Australian office and suggests that algorithms can be used to detect "moments when young people need a confidence boost." It raises serious ethical questions about Facebook's capabilities, but the company denies it is doing anything wrong. The documents -- which are dated 2017 and marked "Confidential: Internal… [Continue Reading]

  New integration delivers improved security analytics for mainframe users

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 2:48pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Many enterprises still rely on logs and data from a range of different security products to get a picture of user behavior, particularly where legacy mainframe systems are involved. A collaboration between data analytics company Syncsort and application audit specialist Compuware is aimed at improving an organization's ability to detect threats against critical mainframe data, correlate them with related information and events and satisfy compliance requirements. Compuware's Application Audit captures start-to-finish user session activity data in real time -- including all successful logins, session keyboard commands and menu selections, specific data browsed, and more. Syncsort Ironstream users can then receive… [Continue Reading]

  Is interest in Apple Watch on the wane? Big-name apps drop support for the wearable

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 2:38pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  It would appear that the Apple Watch is losing its shine. A number of big-name apps have dropped support for the wearable, including Google Maps, Target, eBay and Amazon. It's not clear exactly why support was dropped, but as it took a little while for users to notice and start complaining on social media, a general lack of interest is likely to blame. Google has offered a vague promise that Google Maps will return to Apple Watch "in the future," but gives no sense of timescale, and there are no similar assurances from any of the others who have quietly… [Continue Reading]

  Today is a big day for Microsoft. At an event in New York City, the company promises we’ll "Learn what’s next" for Microsoft and education, even though thanks to leaks we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect. The software giant is set to take on Google in the educational market with a new Surface laptop, and a new version of Windows 10 that only runs apps from the Windows Store, called Windows 10 S.

  Twitter continues to place ever-increasing importance on video on its network, and the company has announced a new batch of partners that will bring a host of live-streamed programming to the service. There are 16 streaming partners in total, including Bloomberg which will bring a 24-hour rolling news services to Twitter. Other partners include Live Nation which will deliver live concert performances, and NBA, PGA and MLB to cater for the sports side of things.

  AVG AntiVirus for Android review

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 10:53am CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  For many of us, there is no device more important than our smartphone. There is so much valuable data on it -- contacts, business emails, private messages, personal photos and videos, sensitive files and so on -- that you really do not want it to fall into the wrong hands. Some believe it would be impossible to replace, which is why they'd rather have their wallet stolen instead of lose their data. However, when using a smartphone, security is often an afterthought, which is why so many users fall victim to malware. And that's a shame, because covering your bases… [Continue Reading]

  On the eve of Microsoft's education event, the Surface Laptop running Windows 10 S leaks

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 5:46am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Tomorrow in New York City, Microsoft will be holding an event that seems to be geared towards education -- the Windows-maker has been sharing the #MicrosoftEDU hashtag. With Chromebooks gaining in popularity, especially in the school segment, it has been rumored that the company will be revealing a new version of Windows 10 that only runs apps from the Windows Store -- similar to the much-maligned Windows RT. This would, in theory, remove many malware threats, making it a safer platform -- similar to the benefit of Chrome OS. On the eve of this event, a Twitter user named WalkingCat, using the… [Continue Reading]

  Linux Mint 18.2 Ubuntu-based operating system is named 'Sonya'

  Publié: mai 2, 2017, 2:41am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Linux Mint is a very popular operating system -- for Linux, anyway. It is based on Ubuntu, but it ditches one of the most maligned aspects of its base OS -- the Unity desktop environment. Instead, it primarily offers the Cinnamon DE, which is reminiscent of Microsoft's Windows 7. Mint's popularity and relevance is in question lately, however, as Ubuntu itself has decided to stop using Unity too. It remains to be seen if GNOME 3 being the default DE for future Ubuntu releases will decrease the number of folks switching to Mint. The uncertainty about Ubuntu has not deterred the Linux Mint team,… [Continue Reading]
