  What you can learn from tech stacks

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 11:20pm CEST par Yonas Beshawred

  Marc Andreessen wrote his famous Wall Street Journal essay "Why Software Is Eating the World" in 2011. Today, his prediction -- that software companies would take over large parts of the economy as various industries are disrupted by software -- has largely come to pass. Software has indeed changed the game, with software and online-based services making it possible to build companies with very little infrastructure. Nowhere is this more apparent than with the tech stack -- a new term that refers to the suite of software tools that a company uses. How important is the tech stack? Important enough that it’s… [Continue Reading]

  Saladin is a versatile dual-pane file manager for Windows

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 9:13pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Veteran dual-pane Windows file manager Saladin has recently been updated to version 1.0, its first major release since 2014. The program opens with two independent Explorer-type views on your file system. Double-clicking, right-clicking and drag-and-drop all work as you’d expect, allowing you to start using the program right away. A new toolbar has very basic icons, but with text captions and keyboard shortcuts displayed up-front you’ll figure out the basics in seconds. There’s the Copy button, for instance; the "F5" underneath gives you the hotkey, and clicking the arrow to its right gives you a couple of options: copy to… [Continue Reading]

  Google Project Zero security researchers discover 'crazy bad' Windows exploit

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 8:06pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Google’s Project Zero identifies bugs and security flaws in commonly used software, and gives firms 90 days to patch them before going public. This is an approach which doesn’t always go down well -- a case in point being when Google recently released details of a Windows bug after Microsoft failed to patch it in time. Now two Project Zero security researchers claim to have found a new critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Windows which they describe as the "worst in recent memory" and "crazy bad".

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 8:03pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Offline web browsing is a useful feature, particularly on a smartphone, so it was little surprise when Google added website downloading to the Android version of Chrome.

It also provides easier access to the content you have earmarked for offline reading, encouraging more people to make use of the feature.

  How will driverless cars impact the insurance industry?

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 7:00pm CEST par Mark Andrews

  In the next decade or so, it’s predicted that our roads will be awash with driverless cars, with estimates that they will account for a quarter of global car sales by 2035. This will present either a huge opportunity for the insurance sector or a challenge that could lead to its downfall. Car insurance has long been a lucrative business, generating billions of dollars in annual revenue and supporting thousands of jobs. So the disruption promised by driverless cars is a genuine concern. The primary challenge comes from the fact that 90 percent of road traffic accidents are caused by… [Continue Reading]

  IBM: Remote working is awesome -- as long as we're talking about other companies

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 6:19pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Judging by IBM's latest report on remote working, big blue seems to be a vocal advocate of the trend. However, when it comes to its very own employees it would rather they do their work in-house. How does that saying go? "Do as I say, not as I do?" For the Making Telework, Work: Insights from SIOP 2017 report, IBM has used "perspectives from academia as well as public and private sectors" and found not only that "teleworking works" but also that "associated challenges can be managed with careful planning and communication." The report lists "three key tips" to make virtual… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 5:24pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Fraqtive is an open-source generator of gorgeous Mandelbrot and Julia fractals.

As you move the cursor around any areas of detail, you’ll also see a small display of the Julia fractal view, a different way of visualizing the same coordinates. If you see… [Continue Reading]

  Weird Microsoft Edge bug means the browser prints different numbers than it displays

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 4:31pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Anyone using Microsoft Edge to "print to PDF" is advised to double-check their files after a strange bug was detected. The problem is reminiscent of a bug that afflicted Xerox photocopiers a couple of years ago, and sees the browser displaying one set of numbers and printing another. Microsoft has confirmed the existence of the bug which has the potential to cause serious issues with mission-critical data. The person who originally reported the problem cites an example in which Windows 10's default web browser "displays 123456 in PDF but prints 114447." The cause of the problem is not known, and… [Continue Reading]

  How secure operating systems can help protect endpoints [Q&A]

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 3:40pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Endpoints are often the weakest links in any IT system, but protecting them effectively now means much more than simply guarding against malware. As businesses rely more on the cloud and on web-based applications, the endpoint provides a gateway that can be vulnerable to attack. Data security specialist Becrypt is taking an innovative approach with the use of a secure operating system to verify the integrity of devices. We spoke to Bernard Parsons, CEO of the company, to find out more. BN: What are the key areas that protection is now focusing on, is it mainly encryption? BP: Part of… [Continue Reading]

  Hire and retain talent to make it in the digital economy

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 1:45pm CEST par Martin Willcox

  The way we work is transforming at an extraordinary rate. Explosive progress in the technology industry, demonstrated by the fact that digital tech investment reached £6.8 billion last year, creating 1.64 million jobs as a result, is unavoidable. Despite this positive influx of job roles, there is a mismatch between the volume of positions available and the skills that are required to do them. To be able to maintain a grasp of its competitive edge within a global marketplace, the UK must begin to tackle the ever-increasing skills gap. The global study Teradata’s 2017 Data and Analytics Trends Report has found… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 12:02pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Anyone who downloaded the Mac video transcoder HandBrake in the last few days stands a 50 percent change of being infected with a Trojan. The download for version 1.0.7 of HandBrake was infected after the mirror download server was compromised. The Trojan allows for an attacker to remotely access an infected computer, and a malware-laced version of the app was made available for download between May 2 and May 6.

  Take control of Windows 10's built-in network usage monitor

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 11:29am CEST par Mike Williams

  Monitoring which apps use the most network bandwidth can help you spot resource hogs, malware and more. If you’re using Windows 10, you don’t have to install any complicated network software to make this happen. The OS tracks all this information by default, and all you have to do is view it. To check it out, launch the Settings app, click "Network & Internet", select "Data usage" in the sidebar, then click "View usage details." The next window gives you a very simple list of applications sorted by bandwidth used over the last 30 days. If you’re multiple connection types… [Continue Reading]

  The cloud computing tidal wave

  Publié: mai 8, 2017, 10:37am CEST par Robert X. Cringely

  The title above is a play on the famous Bill Gates memo, The Internet Tidal Wave, written in May, 1995. Gates, on one of his reading weeks, realized that the Internet was the future of IT and Microsoft, through Gates’s own miscalculation, was then barely part of that future. So he wrote the memo, turned the company around, built Internet Explorer, and changed the course of business history. That’s how people tend to read the memo, as a snapshot of technical brilliance and ambition. But the inspiration for the Gates memo was another document, The Final Days of Autodesk, written… [Continue Reading]
