  Microsoft boasts artificial intelligence that can 'beat' Ms. Pac-Man

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 11:42pm CEST par Mark Raby

  Move over, Billy Mitchell. There's a new 1980s arcade video game master, and his name is...well, he doesn't have a name. And it's also not a "he" -- it's Microsoft's latest demonstration of artificial intelligence. The team at Maluuba, a Canadian artificial intelligence firm acquired by Microsoft earlier this year, has managed to program a system that can play the Atari 2600 version of Ms. Pac-Man indefinitely without ever being hit by a ghost, allowing it to rack up a score of 999,990 before being reset to zero. The highest score ever recorded by a human player was 266,330. Detailed in… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 10:55pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  More than a third (34 percent) of business managers and HR professionals in the UK are not satisfied with the technology they work with every day.

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 8:55pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  For the first time ever, consumers all over the world carried out more shopping-related searches on their mobile phones than on their computers.

  JBL releases Everest 2.0 Bluetooth headphones

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 7:48pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Bluetooth headphones are all the rage nowadays, thanks to smartphone manufacturers -- such as Apple -- that have omitted the 3.5mm audio port from their phones. iPhone is not the only such device -- there are some Android devices that don't have the headphone jack either. While you can add the jack back with a dongle, a wireless option can be much more freeing. Today, JBL unveils four new Bluetooth headphones under the Everest 2.0 branding. What makes this particularly cool is that the line has models ranging from $100 to $300, making it possible to find a set that best meets… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter's redesign basically comprises old fashioned rounded buttons and new icons

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 6:39pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  It has been a while since Twitter was treated to a new lick of paint, but that all changes today. A new look is rolling out, and "round" is the word that springs most readily to mind. Think back to the look of the web around 15 years ago -- all rounded corners and the like -- and you're in the right ballpark. Online there are not only rounded buttons and round profile pictures, but also redesigned, wireframe icons. Mobile users are also treated to a new look. The redesign is certainly not going to be to everyone's taste. The… [Continue Reading]

  gInk is a quick and easy screen annotation app

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 5:03pm CEST par Mike Williams

  GInk is an open-source Windows application which allows drawing and annotating your screen, then saving the results. The program is a handy way to highlight elements of a screenshot for presentations or demonstrations, or maybe to attach a quick note to a particular area of the screen. Getting started is easy. There’s no installation required, you can run the program, tap the system tray icon and draw on the screen immediately. A toolbar at the bottom of the screen enables choosing alternative pens and colors. This looks basic -- there’s no interface to set colors or line widths -- but… [Continue Reading]

  Bitcoin and Ethereum see massive corrections after record prices

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 4:53pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  You know how the saying goes, "What goes up must come down." It also holds true in the case of top cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum, which after reaching record levels this week, are now seeing massive corrections. Bitcoin, which reached a high of 3,000 just a few days ago, is now trading for just over $2,250 on the major exchanges. Ethereum, which is expected to overtake Bitcoin in the coming period, saw its price drop from $400 to around $310. And it is not just the two cryptocurrencies that are suffering. The whole cryptocurrency market is down, mainly because Bitcoin… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 4:40pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Threat intelligence fails to deliver on its promise

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 3:54pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new study by the Information Security Forum (ISF), an independent authority on cyber security and information risk management, reveals that threat intelligence isn't delivering the expected business objectives. While 82 percent of ISF Members surveyed have a threat intelligence capability, with the remaining 18 percent planning to implement one in the next twelve months, only 25 percent of those surveyed believe their capability is fully delivering. "While organizations continue to rely on well-established security practices, many are seeking additional ways to keep pace with the increasing torrent of attacks," says Steve Durbin, managing director of ISF.

  Attacks on online services cost banks over $1.7 million

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 12:13pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A cybersecurity incident involving a bank's online banking services costs the organization $1,754,000 on average, around double the price of recovering from a malware incident. This is among the findings of Kaspersky Lab's Financial Institutions Security Risks survey released today, which shows that 61 percent of cybersecurity incidents affecting online banking come with additional costs for the institution targeted. These include data loss, loss of brand or company reputation, confidential information leaks, and more. Recovering from a DDoS attack is also more expensive for banks ($1,172,000) to recover from than non-financial organizations ($952,000). The report shows that when organizations are attacked… [Continue Reading]

  The end could be nigh for the Pirate Bay after European Court of Justice ruling

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 11:05am CEST par Mark Wilson

  The Pirate Bay may be something of a battered ship after an onslaught of attacks over the years but, somehow, it remains afloat. The latest blow, however, comes from the European Court of Justice which has just ruled that the site -- despite not hosting any content itself -- can still be held liable for copyright infringement. The landmark ruling means that the site could be considered to have broken the law for simply directing people towards copyrighted material. There are implications for a wide range of sites and services, but the focus is very much on that stalwart of… [Continue Reading]

  Happy birthday to the GIF... and welcome to Facebook comments!

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 10:44am CEST par Mark Wilson

  Today marks the 30th anniversary of the GIF. The humble file format has -- after protracted arguments about how to pronounce the word -- come a long way. After years irritating people in the format of flashing animated ads, the images are now used to adorn messages with pithy memes and pertinent video clips. GIFs in their current incarnation are supported by messaging tools and social platforms left, right and center, and after including a dedicated GIF button in Facebook Messenger, the social network is now rolling out the same feature in comments. The idea is very simple and the… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft shows LGBT pride with Skype

  Publié: juin 15, 2017, 1:52am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  June is LGBT pride month. If you aren't familiar with the acronym, it stands for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender. During this month, not only do LGBT people show pride in themselves, but people that love and support them show it too. Microsoft is doing its part to support LGBT pride using its popular Skype communication solution. Since the rainbow is seen as a symbol for LGBT rights, the company is incorporating it into emojis and text-highlighting. There are also some cool stickers to be used when sharing photos. "Show your support during Pride month with our new stickers! Once you've… [Continue Reading]
