  Why IBM has it wrong about Anywhere Work

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 9:40pm CEST par Brian Peterson

  When IBM announced recently it was summoning workers back to central offices after decades of pioneering a remote work model -- it was a seminal moment for the legacy tech company and a head-scratching moment for future-forward companies everywhere. IBM’s desire to reignite innovation and collaboration and all the other long-touted benefits of manufacturing physical proximity among employees is understandable after 20 straight quarters of declining revenue. But it also feels really counter-culture: not in a cool, old-is-new again kind of way, but in a doesn’t-IBM-know-this-is-a-bad-idea kind of way? The move will have long-term effects on IBM’s ability to hire… [Continue Reading]

  It's Windows 7 -- not Windows XP -- that's to blame for the spread of WannaCry ransomware

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 9:13pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  It’s been a week since the WannaCrypt/WannaCry ransomware cyber attacks began, and the repercussions are still being felt. It became clear quite early on that the ransomware was hitting older Windows systems hard (Windows 10 wasn’t affected), with a lot of talk focusing on the number of at-risk Windows XP systems still in service. But here’s the interesting thing. Most of the affected systems -- over 98 percent -- were actually running Windows 7. SEE ALSO: Microsoft patches Windows XP to fight the WannaCrypt ransomware attacks According to new figures released today by Kaspersky Labs, the 64-bit version of Windows… [Continue Reading]

  Demand for microservices skills is growing

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 9:13pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Job positions that require skills in so-called "microservices" have seen a huge boost to increase by 133 percent in the last year. According to a new report by Rackspace, this has made such positions among the most popular IT jobs on the market today. The report also says that roles related to Agile Software Development are also up 16 percent in the last year. Google’s Kubernetes has seen "meteoric" growth in demand among engineers, jumping 919 percent since last year. Docker is also seeing continued interest over the course of the last 12 months, as well. The demand for DevOps… [Continue Reading]

  Adylkuzz malware mines Monero to generate revenue

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 6:50pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  A new form of malware is targeting innocent victims in order to mine cryptocurrency for its creators. Adylkuzz, which targets the Monero cryptocurrency, stays hidden within an infected machine, and does not give visual warnings or interfere with users’ files. Security firm Bitdefender, which first spotted the malware, says the best way to protect yourself is to keep your operating system up to date, to disable the Server Message Block service on the computer if patching is impossible, and back up any and all data to offline hard drives. Anyone can create cryptocurrency through a process called mining. It is… [Continue Reading]

  Google lets developers exclude app support for rooted Android devices

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 5:05pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Netflix is the first big name on Google Play to block Android devices that are rooted or have an unlocked bootloader from downloading its app. And it looks like it may not be the last, as now Google is officially giving all developers the option to do the same. Developers on Google Play can enforce support exclusions based on a device's SafetyNet status, which is also what Netflix has used to restrict access. Out of the box, rooted devices or devices with an unlocked bootloader are supported, but developers have two options that they can choose to change that. As Google explains… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft blocking Linux on Windows 10 S

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 4:27pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When the education-focused Windows 10 S was announced, many people were dubious that it could be a success. Limiting the operating system to apps from the Windows Store seems like a recipe for disaster. That opinion is understandable, as we have sort of been down this road before with Windows RT -- which failed. The concept can confuse users. I was sort of hopeful for Windows 10 S when Microsoft made a shocking announcement at Build 2017 that it is bringing Linux distributions to the Windows Store. This gave the impression that students using the S variant of the OS… [Continue Reading]

  WannaCry: How to recover encrypted files on Windows XP

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 3:42pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The WannaCry ransomware has made a huge mess across the globe, affecting hundreds of thousands of PCs, including critical devices in the healthcare sector. It is so dangerous that Microsoft released a public patch for Windows XP, after it dropped support three years ago. Of course, the patch did not stop Windows XP users from getting infected, but, thankfully, a decryption tool, called WannaKey, is now available and should help recover your locked files. WannaKey is not guaranteed to work on every Windows XP device, however. The developer of the tool says that, in order for it to work, you should not… [Continue Reading]

  Digital assistants set to outnumber people by 2021

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 12:50pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The number of digital assistants installed is on track to exceed 7.5 billion by 2012, which is more than the world population. According to technology research company Ovum, Google Assistant will dominate the voice AI–capable device market with 23.3 percent market share, followed by Samsung's Bixby (14.5 percent), Apple's Siri (13.1 percent), Amazon's Alexa (3.9 percent), and Microsoft's Cortana (2.3 percent). Ovum's study finds that smartphones and tablets are leading the market for voice AI, with 3.5 billion active devices in 2016, most of which use Google Now and Apple Siri. However, the use of AI in conjunction with other… [Continue Reading]

  Stop users copying PDF text with PDF Anti-Copy

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 12:43pm CEST par Mike Williams

  PDF Anti-Copy is a free tool which protects PDF content by preventing users selecting or copying its text. There are similar programs available, but they typically work by applying the standard PDF security restrictions. This can easily removed with the right software. PDF Anti-Copy takes a more unusual approach, using GhostScript and its -dNoOutputFonts switch to essentially replace the text with vector graphics. The page looks the same, but the text selection options stop working because the text has gone. The advantage of this approach is it’s relatively unusual, and quite hard to spot. Casual users might be completely defeated.… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook is finally doing something to make Messenger less of an unusable mess

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 11:49am CEST par Mark Wilson

  The Facebook Messenger app for iOS and Android is an utter mess of ideas at the moment. The confused interface is all over the place and decidedly user unfriendly. All that is set to change, though, thanks to an update that rolls out this week. The update brings a slightly updated look which makes navigation a little easier. Tabs help to keep things better organized so you can jump to where you want to be more easily. The changes do not go as far as letting you kill the endlessly irritating Messenger Day/Stories feature, but it does go some way… [Continue Reading]

  Cyber crime is a $6 trillion a year industry

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 11:42am CEST par Ian Barker

  Last week's WannaCrypt attack infected over 200,000 devices and is estimated to have made its perpetrators $72,000. Increasingly scammers and criminals are seeing the internet as a means of making financial returns. Cyber crime has become a serious business and no business or information is safe from attack. Threat detection company Pwnie Express has produced an infographic analyzing the cyber crime industry. Among the highlights are that more than 159 million records containing sensitive information were compromised in 2015. Over 300 million new pieces of malware were released in 2014, and 60 percent of small businesses cease operating six months… [Continue Reading]

  Leaked images show off Microsoft's upcoming Surface Pro

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 10:41am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Panos Panay may have said that the Surface Pro 5 does not exist, but that certainly does not mean there's not a Surface Pro 4 successor. Microsoft has an event scheduled for Monday in Shanghai, and Panay himself has already indicated that it is Surface-related. Ahead of the event, writer and serial leaker Evan Blass has revealed a number of images of the upcoming device which drops the numbering and is to be known simply as the Surface Pro. Virtually nothing is known about the Surface Pro, but the images, published on VentureBeat, show that Microsoft has done very little… [Continue Reading]

  ASUS ZenFone AR Android smartphone with Tango and Daydream is a Verizon exclusive

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 5:19am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Both augmented and virtual reality show no sign of slowing down -- these are certainly technologies to keep an eye on over the next several years. Microsoft and Google have been very public with their projects, while there are rumors that Apple is secretly working on both AR and VR too. Google's Tango is one of the most ambitious such projects, bringing augmented reality capabilities to Android devices. Earlier today at Google I/O, ASUS announced that the upcoming ZenFone AR smartphone -- compatible with both Tango and Daydream -- will be a Verizon exclusive. "Tango is an augmented reality (AR) platform that… [Continue Reading]

  Panasonic unveils Toughbook 33 2-in-1 detachable rugged laptop

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 2:27am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While some people may feel that their office job is stressful -- and maybe it is -- there are workers in the world that do physically hard work that is much more strenuous. They may work in dangerous and dirty conditions where not only is their health at risk, but so too is their computer. For instance, they may work in a location with tremendous dust, risk of flooding, and falling debris. For these jobs, an extremely rugged laptop or tablet could be needed. When it comes to rugged computers, Panasonic's legendary Toughbook laptops are always a wise choice. These computers have a… [Continue Reading]

  Enterprise IT is back

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 2:13am CEST par Bernd Harzog

  There is no doubt that public clouds like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google constitute rapidly growing and attractive alternatives to traditional on premise IT operations leading many organizations to conclude that they are "not IT companies" and/or "do not want to be in the IT business." But few companies can escape the mandate to be present online, to conduct business online, and to deal with partners, suppliers, customers, and employees online. This mandate is causing companies to embark upon initiatives to "digitize" their businesses, which means to implement these crucial business functions in software. So every company of any size… [Continue Reading]

  IT leaders want to adopt unified communications systems

  Publié: mai 19, 2017, 12:13am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Enterprise communications are set to see a major overhaul within the next five years, according to a new report. Research from Fuze found that almost six in ten (59 percent) of companies have prioritized adopting new communication technology. Based on a survey of 900 IT leaders, the report says 64 percent are looking to cut the number of communications apps to remove complexity. Two thirds (64 percent) are also looking to move their communications completely into the cloud. Sixty-three percent will have adopted a unified communications system by 2022, and 62 percent think video will replace voice-based comms by 2022.… [Continue Reading]
