  This is what happens when a cat tries to chew through an UNBREAKcable charging cable [Review]

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 10:14pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  I have a one-year old Norwegian Forest cat called Daisy (see above) who likes to chew on cables. While she will occasionally have a go at thick cables, her preference is to gnaw on thinner ones. To date she has managed to destroy three microUSB charging cables, three Lightning cables, and two headphone cables. She’s very good at finding and biting through cables no matter how well hidden they are. UNBREAKcable, from Syncwire, is a charging cable with a lifetime warranty -- if it breaks or malfunctions, the company will replace it for you free of charge. That sounds promising,… [Continue Reading]

  BlackBerry KEYone: A trip down memory lane, but not a fantastic smartphone [Review]

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 8:41pm CEST par Michael Moore

  BlackBerry has endured a checkered last few years, as the company dialed down its original smartphone offerings to focus more on software and security offerings. However, the former smartphone icon has recently returned to the mobile market after signing a number of partnership deals to get the BlackBerry name back out there. The BlackBerry KEYone is the latest product of this, as the company once again joins forces with Chinese firm TCL to reveal a new business-focused smartphone. Looking to target those who were fans of Blackberry's original enterprise devices, the KEYone blends the company's iconic QWERTY keyboard with a… [Continue Reading]

  Remote workers may put businesses at risk

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 7:55pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Freelance workers have proven to be an extremely useful resource for many small companies in recent years, allowing for specialized expertise to be recruited when needed the most. However, a new research report from security firm Tripwire has found that using such workers, particularly for IT projects, might actually be putting your business in danger of a major security breach. The company set up an experiment which recruited 25 freelancers to create a site for a staged project. Each developer received the same email with the exact same criteria, with 10 contractors eventually chosen to create a finished project -- however when… [Continue Reading]

  PC gaming is exploding in popularity. Not only are people playing games, but they are watching other people play on services like Twitch.

With PC gaming growing, so too are the number of products -- mice, keyboard, headsets and more. One of the most important things a gamer can buy is a quality monitor. Today, Samsung unveils two new displays (CHG70 and CHG90) with jaw-dropping features. Both models feature QLED Quantum Dot technology and the all-new Radeon FreeSync 2,… [Continue Reading]

  Verizon is taking an ax to the Yahoo and AOL workforce

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 4:37pm CEST par Mark Raby

  In case you haven't been following the news about 23-year-old Internet company acquisitions, Verizon announced 11 months ago that it had entered into an agreement to buy Yahoo for $4.83 billion. That deal, with some modifications, was officially approved and finalized yesterday, and it is expected to be completely closed on June 13. When that happens, the telecommunications giant plans to combine those newly acquired assets with AOL, which it also owns, into a new media conglomerate. And of course, when you hear the word "combine," the next word you'll hear is "layoffs." According to a report from CNBC, Verizon… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 3:49pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Docs.com is a file sharing service from Microsoft that lets you publish and share content from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Sway, and Minecraft world, as well as PDF documents. It was originally created as part of a collaboration with Facebook in 2010, and then revamped in 2015. However, while it’s a useful site, it never really gained the traction that Microsoft had hoped for, and today, June 9, the software giant announces it’s shutting it down. Visitors to Docs.com will now see a banner stating: We are retiring Docs.com on December 15, 2017, and all content will be deleted. Please sign… [Continue Reading]

  Patch management is a major issue for enterprises

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 3:04pm CEST par Ian Barker

  We already know that outdated systems are a major problem for enterprises as they increase the risk of data breaches. But a new study by enterprise security specialist Bromium reveals that the act of patching is a big problem for many companies too. The study of over 500 CISO in companies with more than 1,000 employees, shows over half (53 percent) of CISOs say crisis patch management is a major disruption to their IT and security teams. Enterprises have to issue an emergency patch an average of five times a month, with each crisis patch taking an average of 13… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft Azure now supports OpenBSD

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 1:26pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Microsoft continues to embrace not only Linux but BSD too, as it just revealed that Azure has added support for OpenBSD. The latest move comes more than two years after the cloud platform officially started to support FreeBSD virtual machines. The OpenBSD support in Azure comes as a result of a collaboration between Microsoft and network security vendor Esdenera, which also sees the release of an OpenBSD-based firewall in the Azure Marketplace. The first OpenBSD release to be supported is OpenBSD 6.1, which was released in April. If you want to check the release notes, you can do so here. Esdenera's… [Continue Reading]

  New Android malware uses code injection to control devices

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 12:20pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have released details of a new trojan being distributed via the Google Play store that is able to inject malicious code into the system runtime libraries. Named Dvmap, the trojan is believed to have been downloaded from Google Play more than 50,000 times since March this year. The addition of code injection makes a worrying new development in mobile malware. It means it becomes possible to execute malicious modules even with root access deleted. In addition any security solutions and banking apps with root-detection features that are installed after infection won’t be able to spot the… [Continue Reading]

  NSA cites privacy concerns for u-turn over revealing the number of Americans it spies on

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 11:09am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act -- the legislation used to permit the NSA to conduct online surveillance -- is due to expire at the end of the year. We have already seen a number of the big names from the world of technology calling for a number of changes during reform. As part of the reform, officials had promised that they would reveal broad details about the number of American citizens about whom information has been, and is, collected. This is no longer the case. The Director of National Intelligence has performed a u-turn on the promise. At… [Continue Reading]

  Mozilla's WebExtensions APIs allow for cross-browser extensions in Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Edge

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 10:50am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Creating add-ons for multiple web browsers can be a nightmare for developers, but Mozilla wants to simplify things. By introducing WebExtensions APIs it is going to become much easier to make extensions that work in multiple web browsers with only minor changes. Based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the aim is to further standardize the APIs to make it even easier to share extensions between browsers. Mozilla is now pushing the technology in the hope that it will gain momentum and a growing following. In a post on its Hacks blog, Mozilla explains that WebExtensions enables developers to "write one… [Continue Reading]

  Does Donald Trump tweet too much? America thinks so

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 9:11am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Donald Trump may not be the first US president to take to Twitter, but he's certainly proved unique in the way he uses the social platform. Tweets have become his public mouthpiece, used to issue train-of-thought broadcasts, as well as plenty of oddities -- it's going to be some time before "covfefe" is forgotten. But while many are pleased to see Trump issuing statements through an accessible medium, critics on both sides of the political spectrum have voiced concern about his outpourings. Importantly, the American public now believes that the president tweets too much. A new survey shows that over… [Continue Reading]

  Google, you better up your tablet game before Apple takes you down

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 7:42am CEST par Joe Wilcox

  To celebrate the launch of Apple's new 10.5-inch iPad Pro, I ordered Pixel C, which arrived three days ago. Worst case, the tablet can be returned for refund during the buyer's remorse period; there ain't any regrets so far—just the opposite. To my pleasant surprise, the tab is much more enjoyable than I remember, because Nougat is so pretty, efficient, and buttery smooth than was Marshmallow on the device. The screen scorches any available iPad, Pro or otherwise, and the performance is shockingly nimble. My Pixel C shipped with Android 7.1.1 and quickly updated to 7.1.2. I will soon install Android… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 2:26am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  The huge growth of the Internet of Things shows no signs of slowing down in the next few years, new research claims. A report released today by Pew Research Center and Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center has found that 85 percent of people believe that the world is set to become a more connected place than ever before. The research itself was inspired by the ever-growing number of cyber attacks like the most recent WannaCry one. More than 1,200 experts were asked questions regarding IoT and the future of the human race, and 15 percent believe more people will choose… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases huge Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Build 16215 -- and it's well worth the wait

  Publié: juin 9, 2017, 12:44am CEST par Wayne Williams

  It’s been nearly three weeks since Microsoft last rolled out a new Windows 10 build to Insiders on the Fast ring. Well, three weeks if you don’t count the buggy, chaos-causing internal Build 16212 which leaked out last week. But today the wait for a new update is over, as Build 16215 comes to the Fast ring, and the good news is this release is definitely worth your attention, not least because it introduces new UI for both the Start and Action Center that makes use of Microsoft's new Fluent Design System.
