  Wacom unveils two new Bamboo styluses -- 'Ink' for Windows 10 and 'Sketch' for iOS

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 11:54pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Drawing and writing on a computer are both important features for creative types, but not everyone has the need. If you do have the need for a quality stylus, however, both Windows 10 and iOS are optimized for such things. The Surface line of personal computers and the iPad Pro, for instance, have official stylus accessories. If you find yourself needing a third-party stylus for your Windows 10 or iOS device, Wacom has two new products that may interest you. The first such device is called Bamboo Ink, and it is named quite appropriately, as it is designed for Windows… [Continue Reading]

  The cost of cyber attacks will rise to $8 trillion in five years

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 10:21pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Cyber attacks will cost businesses across the world $8 trillion in the next five years, according to a new Juniper Research report. Just to put things in perspective, India's entire GDP crossed $8 trillion two years ago. The report says that we'll hit that threshold very soon due to higher levels of Internet connectivity, and inadequate enterprise-wide security. Juniper's report, entitled The Future of Cybercrime & Security: Enterprise Threats & Mitigation 2017-2022, says the number of personal data records stolen this year will hit 2.8 billion, and is expected to hit five billion, almost double, by 2020. Businesses are trying… [Continue Reading]

  ARM has revealed its latest series of mobile processors, promising its most advanced performance yet.

The Cortex-A75 is now ARM’s most powerful product, with the company claiming that it offers 22 percent better performance compared to the previous flagship, the Cortex-A73., which was revealed almost exactly a year ago.

  Microsoft Surface Hub is a huge success, finally gets Windows 10 Creators Update

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 9:04pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Whether or not the Surface Hub is a success has been a big question mark. After all, Microsoft hasn't shared exact sales figures. Obviously, the company doesn't have to sell a ton of them to be considered successful, since it has a narrow focus and large price tag. While we still do not have exact sales figures, today we can confidently call the product a success. Why? Well, Microsoft announces something very impressive -- 50 percent of Fortune 100 companies have purchased at least one of them. Keep in mind, this is in addition to companies outside of that group. True, that could… [Continue Reading]

  Bitdefender Home Scanner checks your network devices for vulnerabilities

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 7:35pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Bitdefender has released Bitdefender Home Scanner, a free tool which scans your wireless network, identifies connected devices and checks them for vulnerabilities. The program claims to spot devices with poorly encrypted or insecure authentication, weak login credentials and "hidden back doors." This works at a basic level as a simple network scanner. The finished report lists all connected devices, their IP and MAC address, device type, manufacturer and more. Bitdefender Home Scanner also highlights any issues it finds, for example flagging some devices on our test system as "potentially at risk." Clicking the warning displayed more information, including a section… [Continue Reading]

  OnePlus 5 will be 'the thinnest flagship phone' says CEO

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 7:09pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has just let a little more slip about the upcoming OnePlus 5. According to a Weibo post by the company founder, the OnePlus 5 will be "the thinnest flagship phone" when it launches later this summer. Importantly, Lau says that the thinness does not mean compromises have been made. There have been all manner of leaks and rumors about the latest version of the so-called "flagship killer," but this comes straight from the horse's mouth. OnePlus has started a teaser campaign for the smartphone, inviting social media users to guess which of two photographs was shot… [Continue Reading]

  Fake News: Half of Donald Trump's Twitter followers are bots

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 7:02pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  This story isn’t actually "Fake News", but rather news about fakes. We all know Donald Trump loves Twitter (more than covfefe itself!), and with over 31 million followers it appears the 45th President of the United States of America is hugely popular on the social site. Except, well, his 31 million followers aren’t quite what they seem. According to twitteraudit, half of Trump’s followers are fake. The site, which takes a sample of 5,000 followers and calculates a score based on their Twitter activity, found that 15,044,248 of his followers were fake, with the other half, 15,910,994, considered to be… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 7:01pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  QR codes are "changing social behavior" in China, according to a new story published on the South China Morning Post. As a payment technology, QR codes are going through a renaissance in mainland China, where mobile payments are now 50 times greater than those in the US. Mobile payments in the States have reached $112 billion last year, the report states, calling on a Forrester Research report. A single QR code is capable of storing 300 times more data than a traditional one-dimensional code. iResearch claims payments made via mobile devices in China reached 38 trillion yuan.

  The first Windows 10 ARM devices will come from ASUS, HP, and Lenovo

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 6:14pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Microsoft and Qualcomm announced late last year that Windows 10 will be available on ARM-based Snapdragon devices. And, unlike with Windows RT, this time around x86 programs are welcome, giving users the ability to run full-blown software like Office 2016 and Adobe Photoshop CC. And now Microsoft and Qualcomm have provided an update on the project, announcing the hardware partners that will release ARM devices with Windows 10 and the sort of benefits that users can expect to receive from the "Always Connected PCs" that will arrive. The first Windows 10 devices powered by Snapdragon chips will come from ASUS,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 5:19pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  OnePlus has been great when it comes to supporting the OnePlus 3T and OnePlus 3. The company has released a ton of software updates for the two flagships, including an upgrade to Android 7 Nougat. But it will not be long before Google takes the wraps off Android O, so what can users expect? First of all, we do not know exactly when Android O will be introduced, but it is likely that Google will stick to a late-summer/early-fall release schedule. But the good news is that OnePlus will update the OnePlus 3T and OnePlus 3 to Android O. OnePlus founder… [Continue Reading]

  DirecTV is a popular satellite service for those who don't or can't get cable TV. Many people love it, especially because of its exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket experience.

  YouTube keeps Android users guessing, updates app

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 5:04pm CEST par Mark Raby

  If you have automatic updates enabled on your Android phone, your index fingers and your brain may have hit a moment of panic and confusion as you realized everything was rejiggered from top to bottom, literally. Par for the course with Google, you will now have to get used to a new interface, different placement of on-screen buttons, and more confusing navigation streams to get to the menu you want. That is, until you get used to it all, at which point you'll appreciate that they were all actual improvements after all. Previously, the home screen of the YouTube app… [Continue Reading]

  Cloud-native controller streamlines web app delivery

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 4:08pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Getting the best performance, and thus return on investment from their app projects is essential for an increasing number of organizations. But in traditional delivery models the optimization layer is either separate from the application servers in the form of a content delivery network (CDN), or requires constant manual management and operation. Web application control specialist Webscale is launching a cloud application delivery controller (ADC) for web applications that delivers access to essential, real-time capabilities for application performance, availability, and security. "In our core markets of e-commerce, e-learning, and financial services, where application delivery is mission-critical, customers' needs vary dramatically,"… [Continue Reading]

  LXtory shares screenshots to Imgur, Gyazo, Puush, Dropbox, Google Drive and FTP

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 4:07pm CEST par Mike Williams

  LXtory is an open-source tool for capture screenshots, saving the results locally or uploading them to Imgur or other sites. It’s a familiar idea, and the program interface didn’t impress us, either. Calling it "unfinished" would be a compliment -- it’s so basic that it barely looks started. Despite its lack of visual appeal, LXtory does have some interesting features. There’s support for capturing the complete desktop, specific windows or a chosen window. It also captures windows using Direct3D, and can record what happens in a selected area as an animated GIF. Your captures can be saved locally or uploaded… [Continue Reading]

  A new study into the social media habits of Fortune 500 CEOs reveals that only 40 percent were active on one of the six major social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube) in 2016. The study from business cloud platform Domo and CEO.com also shows that despite 75 chief executive changes occurring in this group in 2016 there's been no significant impact on social media use. Only 40 Fortune 500 CEOs (eight percent) have a Facebook page, down from 57 in 2015. Of those, 32 were inactive for the last quarter of 2016.

  Unsecured IoT devices pose major security risk

  New research from the Ponemon Institute and risk assurance body Shared Assesments reveals a high level of concern among organizations about the security of IoT, yet a gap in understanding of how to mitigate and communicate the risks, especially as it relates to third parties. The study of 553 individuals in industries such as financial services and healthcare reveals that 76 percent say a DDoS attack involving an unsecured IoT device is likely to occur within the next two years. In addition, 94 percent of those surveyed say that a security incident related to unsecured IoT devices or applications could… [Continue Reading]

  TheShadowBrokers ditch Bitcoin in favour of Zcash as details emerge of monthly exploit subscription service

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 1:26pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  TheShadowBrokers, the hacking group behind the leak of NSA malware, has announced further details of the "Data Dump of the Month" subscription service it has previously talked about. Now known as "TheShadowBrokers Monthly Dump Service," the launch sees the group switching from Bitcoin to Zcash as its currency of choice. Signing up for the service will set interested parties back 100 ZEC (Zcash). As this equates to over $20,000, it's not a subscription that many people are likely to be taking out, particularly as there is no evidence that the group has more exploits to offer. The hacking group has… [Continue Reading]

  It's just over a year since a federal judge ruled that Amazon was liable for the unauthorized in-app purchases made by children. Now the FTC has announced that Amazon is starting to offer refunds for these purchases.

If your account was used to make an purchase that's now eligible for a refund, you should have already received an… [Continue Reading]

  Google-owned Nest has unveiled the latest addition to its range of smart products -- the Nest Cam IQ. The new security camera not only boasts a 4K video sensor, but builds upon the motion detection feature offered by other similar cameras by adding facial recognition. What this means is that the Nest Cam IQ is able to send out personalized alerts when it detects the presence of a particular person -- such as when your kids arrive home from school -- but it can also send out warnings when an unrecognized person is spotted.

  Twitter now handles DMs from strangers differently

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 10:57am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Taking a leaf out of Facebook's, er, book, Twitter has introduced a new filtering system for Direct Messages. Now if you receive a DM from someone you don’t follow, it will be channeled to a new Requests folder rather than appearing in your Inbox. The new system gives you a chance to review messages from unknown senders before you decide whether to continue the conversation. It's a simple system that's very similar to Facebook Message Requests, and it's in the process of rolling out at the moment. Importantly, the sender is not alerted when you read a DM that has… [Continue Reading]

  US and Europe have different ideas about data and privacy

  Publié: mai 31, 2017, 12:19am CEST par Nigel Tozer

  With a recent, but less publicized executive order from President Trump, there are things happening on both sides of the Atlantic with regard to personal data, and it looks like the US and the EU have very different ideas about which direction to take. We all leave a digital trail these days, just going about our daily business. Much of it we don't think about, and we often consciously choose to trade this personal data ourselves, in exchange for free services. Think about it, your Internet searches, social media, the websites you visit and your location while you're doing it, even exercise… [Continue Reading]
