  Spotify now in Windows Store

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 11:04pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While Windows users have long had the ability to use an official client for Spotify, there is a big dilemma -- Windows 10 S. The most recent version of Microsoft's operating system is limited to apps from the Windows Store. In other words, the official "Win32" Spotify client will not be compatible. Luckily, Microsoft announced that both Spotify and iTunes were coming to the Windows Store. When they were coming, however, was unknown. While Apple's program is still missing, Spotify is finally here. As of today, Windows 10 users can get the official client from the Store. "We're excited to announce that… [Continue Reading]

  Consumers ignore security risks for free Wi-Fi

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 9:59pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  A growing number of British consumers are using their neighbors' Wi-Fi, sometimes even without permission, because they can't afford their own. This is according to a new report by Santander, which also says that the price of phone and broadband services has increased hugely over the past ten years. Fourteen percent of Brits (roughly seven million people) will use their neighbor’s Wi-Fi without permission, or go to a café and use the internet there without actually buying anything. They will also take advantage of free, open Wi-Fi networks whenever possible. The advantages of a free internet outweigh the security concerns, the… [Continue Reading]

  Uber is rolling out the ability to tip drivers, other features

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 8:24pm CEST par Mark Raby

  In what is one of the most fundamental changes ever made to Uber's business model, the ride sharing app has begun to roll out an update that will allow users to tip drivers, reversing a policy it had in place from day one as potentially the biggest differentiating factor between it and standard taxicab services. Indeed, Uber's dominance in the on-demand transportation space was built almost entirely because of its cost effectiveness, with fares often less than half of what you might pay for a traditional taxi. Intentionally precluding the ability to tip your driver was an essential part of… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft: We disabled third-party anti-virus software in Windows 10 Creators Update to keep users safe

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 8:18pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Two weeks ago, Kaspersky Labs filed antitrust complaints against Microsoft in Europe, alleging that the software giant disabled third-party antivirus software in Windows 10 in order to benefit Windows Defender. In a long blog post today, Rob Lefferts, director of program management for Windows enterprise and security, admits (without mentioning Kaspersky specifically) that Microsoft "temporarily" disabled some parts of AV software it considered incompatible with Windows 10 Creators Update. SEE ALSO: Microsoft: 'No known ransomware works against Windows 10 S' Lefferts explains that "because AV software can be deeply entwined within the operating system, we doubled down on our efforts… [Continue Reading]

  Mobile commerce grows as cost of acquiring new customers falls

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 7:00pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new report from mobile app marketing specialist Liftoff reveals that the cost of acquiring new customers for mobile shopping apps is falling. The cost of getting someone to install an app is just $4.45, though converting that into a purchase costs considerably more (over $75), with an install-to-purchase rate of just 5.9 percent. The study which analyzed 26.9 billion ad impressions across 4.8 million app installs between April 2016 and April 2017 also shows that September is the best month to pick up new users. Those who register in September are more likely to complete a purchase ahead of… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 6:49pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Three years in the making, the OnePlus 5 -- the company's "most complete and competitive product yet" -- is now official. OnePlus says it's all down to the details, and the company has made endless minor adjustments, and over 100 prototypes to settle on a final design. The handset is just 7.25mm thick, and the overall layout of the phone is all but identical to the OnePlus 3 and 3T -- and yes, there is a headphone jack. The phone is available in Midnight Black and Slate Gray and the specs are in line with the leaks and rumors we've… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 6:13pm CEST par Mark Raby

  Since the dawn of time, watching TV has always been an exercise in patience and frustration. Just as you're beginning to enjoy the unfolding storyline in your favorite shows or movies, they are interrupted by a series of commercials that you most likely are not going to find useful or interesting. That has been starting to change over the past few years as the entire advertising landscape has undergone massive paradigm shifts, but there's still a lot of work to be done in the prehistoric landscape that is traditional TV ad buying. Enter Adobe. The digital software behemoth has just… [Continue Reading]

  The pros and cons of smart light bulbs

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 5:21pm CEST par Alan Buckingham

  Home automation, "the internet of things" or IoT, has been a popular subject for the past couple of years. Unfortunately, that subject isn't always good -- some things have proven infinitely hackable, making it a bit on the worrisome side. One of the first items to make the mainstream was light bulbs, and we've played around with a few and here is what we have found. The Bad Two words -- GE Link. They work through a Wink Hub which links up just fine with the Amazon Echo so that you can control things by voice. In theory, that's perfect… [Continue Reading]

  BBC iPlayer now requires you to sign in for your catch-up TV fix

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 5:09pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Last month, the BBC announced plans to force iPlayer users to sign into their account in order to watch the catch-up service. The requirement is now rolling out, and this means that the option to skip sign-in is starting to vanish. Visitors to the site are now greeted by a message that reads: "You now need to sign in to watch. It's quick & easy. And we'll keep you signed in." Without following the instruction to sign in -- which gives the BBC the opportunity to check for a valid TV license -- it is not possible to watch any… [Continue Reading]

  Web hosting company pays $1 million after Erebus ransomware attack

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 4:22pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The cost of a ransomware attack can be pretty substantial. Businesses that are not well prepared are looking at lost revenue from downtime and massive damage to their reputation, not to mention a pretty hefty ransom bill as well. For web hosting company Nayana, that was $1 million. Nayana, which is based in South Korea, had 153 of its Linux-based servers infected by the Erebus ransomware on June 10. The attack affected roughly 3,400 customers that relied on its services for hosting websites, databases and multimedia content. That is pretty massive if you consider the total number of businesses that had to suffer as a result… [Continue Reading]

  Digital solutions make up nearly half of a company's revenue

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 3:48pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Digital solutions are becoming an increasingly profitable operation for many businesses, generating almost half of revenue (47 percent) for most major organizations, according to a new report. That's according to Pure Storage which surveyed 9,000 businesses in 24 countries and in three regions (US, EMEA, Asia Pacific), and found that digital transformation is "no longer a buzzword" but is, in fact, actually happening right now. But despite clear progress, businesses are still being held back from becoming "truly digital," the company says, with the biggest roadblocks being technical complexity, and a strategic uncertainty from an infrastructure standpoint. On average, businesses are running… [Continue Reading]

  New vulnerability manager aims to prevent the next WannaCry

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 3:09pm CEST par Ian Barker

  When the WannaCry attack hit last month, a patch was already available to prevent it. Its victims were those who had failed to deploy it. Software management company Flexera is aiming to help companies close the risk window between patches and attacks with the launch of its new Software Vulnerability Manager. According to Flexera's research, 81 percent of vulnerabilities recorded in 2016 had patches available on the same day as the disclosure, but companies have taken on average 186 days to completely install those patches. The Vulnerability Manager allows companies to quickly identify, prioritize and patch vulnerabilities used as entry points… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 1:33pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Protect your privacy with Disable Nvidia Telemetry

  Publié: juin 20, 2017, 12:45pm CEST par Mike Williams

  Microsoft and Windows may get most of the flak for collecting data on its users, but other companies also have issues. Nvidia’s GeForce Experience made headlines last year, thanks to some extensive data collection abilities of its own. How extensive? Nvidia says “the application collects… hardware configuration, operating system, language, installed games, game settings, game usage, game performance, and current driver version…  GeForce Experience does not share any personally identifiable information outside the company (link).” If you’re not reassured, Disable Nvidia Telemetry is an open-source application which can disable one or more of Nvidia’s telemetry services and tasks.
