  Apple releases first macOS High Sierra public beta

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 11:16pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Apple will not officially release macOS High Sierra until later this year, but, in the meantime, Mac users who want to check out the new features early can enroll in the public beta program to install preview builds of the new operating system. The first public beta build lands today, coinciding with the release of a revised second beta for developers. Apple typically gives developers the option to sample a new Mac operating system early, so that casual testers can enjoy a more stable experience. To get it, you first need to enroll in the public beta program with your Apple ID. After… [Continue Reading]

  The iPhone is 10 years old -- and so are my horrible predictions about it

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 9:19pm CEST par Mark Raby

  On this day in history, all the way back in 2007, a device that not only revolutionized an industry but changed the way everyone thought about all industries, was unleashed on the world. Okay, okay, before I go any further, I know what you're thinking. "Oh, great, another one of those flowery, rose-colored articles about the nostalgia of all things Apple and how the iPhone changed cell phones forever. Kill me now." No, that's not what this is. It's a much broader reflection of how the landscape has changed around media, consumer culture, and communications of all forms, and the… [Continue Reading]

  Learn how to protect yourself from ransomware with these free ebooks

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 8:11pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Ransomware is barely out of the news these days. We had WannaCry wreaking havoc not so long ago, and now it’s the turn of Petya/NotPetya. And those are just two of the better-known threats; there are plenty more forms of ransomware out there which, while maybe not as prevalent, can have just as devastating an effect. If you’re concerned about the threat of ransomware, which is easily one of the nastiest forms of malware out there, we have a selection of ebooks and whitepapers you can download for free which will give you all the knowledge you need to avoid… [Continue Reading]

  What is AWS planning to do next?

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 7:53pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Amazon Web Services is looking to transform the fortunes of all UK customers. The company took over London’s ExCel center this week for its AWS Summit, the largest ever event held in Europe, and laid out its view for the next 12 months in the opening keynote. Taking to the stage for the keynote speech, Amazon.com CTO Werner Vogels told attendees how the company’s AWS tools could help change their businesses for the better. "This is the new world of IT," he said, "we do things differently now. Cloud has changed the way we do things." "AWS gives you superpowers.” AWS has enjoyed… [Continue Reading]

  Luxury smartphones are a terrible idea and Vertu's problems confirm it

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 6:17pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  When I dream of being rich, the one thing that I never imagine buying is a luxury smartphone. It just doesn't make sense to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a device that, realistically speaking, isn't better than an iPhone or Galaxy S flagship. I have not conducted a scientific study to back this up, but I suspect that people who are actually wealthy would agree. A luxury item, at least from my perspective, has to stand the test of time. It has to be just as attractive today as it was yesterday. A Rolex Submariner from 10 years ago isn't… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will simplify enterprise device deployments

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 4:30pm CEST par Ian Barker

  We've already seen that with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Microsoft is aiming to strengthen security. The company has today revealed a number of other new features aimed at business users. The flagship among these is Windows AutoPilot Deployment, a cloud service designed to simplify the deployment and management of new Windows 10 PCs. AutoPilot is designed to allow end users to set up their own PCs but still get the out of box experience (OOBE) defined by the IT department. The user powers up the machine, selects a language, chooses a keyboard layout and connects to a network.… [Continue Reading]

  System76 unveils its own Ubuntu-based Linux distribution called 'Pop!_OS'

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 3:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When Canonical announced the death of the Unity desktop environment, it sent shock waves through the Linux community. After all, Ubuntu is probably the most popular Linux-based desktop operating system and switching to GNOME was changing its trajectory. With Unity, Canonical was promising Ubuntu would be an OS that could scale from smartphone to desktop with a focus on convergence, and then suddenly, it wasn't. Overnight, Ubuntu became just another desktop distro -- not necessarily a bad thing. While this hit many people hard, computer-seller System76 was probably impacted the most. The company only sells machines running Ubuntu, meaning its… [Continue Reading]

  The original iPhone was considered a high-end feature phone, not a smartphone

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 3:51pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  It may seem strange now, but when the iPhone originally launched (10 years today, as if you didn’t already know by now), it wasn’t viewed as a smartphone in some quarters because of restrictions placed on the device by Apple. Wireless industry analyst firm ABI Research’s definition of a smartphone was "a cellular handset using an open, commercial operating system that supports third-party applications", but Apple at that time was blocking third-party apps from the iPhone. SEE ALSO: This is what people thought about the first iPhone In an interview with Newsweek’s Steven Levy, Apple CEO Steve Jobs explained the… [Continue Reading]

  Enterprises gear up to face the inevitability of cyber attacks

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 3:21pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new study finds that while attacks increase and financial losses continue to mount, a growing number of companies are preparing to respond to breaches The research from forensic security company Guidance Software finds that 54 percent of organizations feel well prepared to respond to a major breach in the coming year (up from 51 percent in 2016). Additionally, 25 percent of respondents say they're looking to build a formal security and incident management team within the next year up from 12 percent in 2016. 35 percent of respondents say assessing risk is the biggest IT security challenge, up from… [Continue Reading]

  How AWS helps BP improve efficiency and minimize costs

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 3:20pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Producing around 3.3 million barrels of oil through operations in over 70 countries, BP is one of the world’s largest energy companies. With so many crucial operations around the world, it’s no surprise that a reliable and robust IT system is required to keep everything on track and running smoothly. "IT underpins every single part of our business at BP", Claire Dickson, the CIO of BP Downstream, which focuses on the refining and marketing of fuels, lubricants, and petrochemicals told the recent AWS Summit in London. "Our world is changing really quickly -- we have a responsibility to react to that...… [Continue Reading]

  Huawei MateBook line of Windows 10 devices available for pre-order starting tomorrow

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 2:01pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  My favorite Windows 10 device of 2016 was the Huawei MateBook. Much like the Surface Pro, it is a tablet that can become a laptop with an optional keyboard purchase. While it was less powerful than Microsoft's offering, it was also less expensive. For basic needs, such as web surfing and word processing it was an absolutely fabulous value. Despite the meager internal specs, Huawei made the device feel premium with a beautiful outward design and the addition of USB-C (something no Surface has). Last month, Huawei announced that it would expand the MateBook line beyond a single tablet to a total… [Continue Reading]

  BPing: a network Ping tool with added audio

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 1:40pm CEST par Mike Williams

  BPing is a tiny console-based ping tool with an unusual extra: sound. Why? It gives you instant feedback on what’s happening without any need to watch the console window. Double-click the program and by default it pings Google.com, playing a sound every time a reply arrives. That’s useful all on its own as a very obvious "my internet connection is up and the device is responding" message. If your connection goes down or the device doesn’t respond, the pings will stop. The sound is annoying? Run BPing with a -d switch and it only plays audio when there’s no reply,… [Continue Reading]

  10 years ago today the iPhone went on sale and changed everything -- so why didn't I want one?

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 1:24pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone at the Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco. It was the usual quality presentation from Apple’s sorely missed boss, with some great moments of humor. Our first glimpse of the phone was in fact actually a mock-up of an iPod with a rotary dial in place of the usual click wheel. The audience clapped and hooted. Jobs then went on to show the real device, and it was pretty mind-blowing. Here was a phone that looked nothing like a phone. It looked nothing like an iPod, for that matter either.… [Continue Reading]

  Information security and the generation gap

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 12:51pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Cyber attacks are becoming a regular feature of everyday life and it's more important than ever to be aware of the risks and take steps to protect yourself. But, according to a survey of 1,000 people across the US by password management company LastPass, different age groups have very different attitudes to security. Interestingly, it's the younger generation that's least concerned about safeguarding their security. Generation Z (aged between 13 and 22) have poor password habits, 32 percent don't put much effort into choosing passwords and 25.6 percent use only one or two passwords across all their accounts. A worrying… [Continue Reading]

  This is what people thought about the first iPhone

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 11:59am CEST par Wayne Williams

  The original iPhone went on sale ten years ago today, and in celebration I’ve been trawling through the BetaNews archives. Sadly we didn’t review the first iPhone, but we did gather together some of the best press and user comments following the device’s announcement, and they are amusing to say the least. Below is the original story written by Ed Oswald, and underneath that are some of the best reader responses to it. Knowing what we know now, I think you’ll find it entertaining.

  How to unlock any Windows 10 PC using a Samsung phone

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 10:39am CEST par Wayne Williams

  Much like Apple’s Handoff feature, Samsung’s Flow app lets you switch between different devices seamlessly. It originally only worked on Samsung phones and tablets, including the Windows 10-based Galaxy TabPro S, but an update means you can now use your smartphone to unlock any PC running the Windows 10 Creators Update. You can also use Flow to perform other useful tasks, such as checking notifications across devices, and replying to messages directly. Samsung revealed it was planning to make this change back in February and estimated the feature would roll out in April. In the end it took quite a bit… [Continue Reading]

  The original iPhone launch in pictures

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 10:34am CEST par Wayne Williams

  When the original iPhone went on sale ten years ago today, there was a lot of excitement, and people queued up outside of Apple stores to get their hands on what was to be a game-changing device. Trawling through the BetaNews archives I found two examples that best illustrate the excitement at the time, including a very illuminating first hand report from Tim Conneally. First up is a selection of photos from iPhone launches across the US. Apple employee demos the iPhone to those waiting in line in Towson, Maryland Line to Apple Store circles Towson Town Center Shall I… [Continue Reading]

  The iPhone Legacy

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 6:01am CEST par Joe Wilcox

  Steve was right, and I don't refer to Apple cofounder Jobs, but to an iPhone buyer I met 10 years ago today. He was among the eclectic group of people waiting outside Apple Store Montgomery Mall to spend $499 or $599 on the fruit logo company's first smartphone. The amount was outrageous at the time for a locked, unsubsidized handset. "I think this is a day that you’re going to see a change in how computers, how handheld computers are done", he told me. "I think we’ll look back in 10 or 15 years, and like on that day the… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft to sell Box storage to Azure customers

  Publié: juin 29, 2017, 2:49am CEST par Michael Moore

  Microsoft has announced a new tie-up with Box that will extend the intelligence and reach of its Azure cloud platform. Under the terms of the deal, Box will now use Azure as a strategic cloud platform, with a new "Box on Azure" now being offered out to enterprise customers around the world. However the partnership will also see Box getting the chance to use Azure’s artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities for the first time. This could potentially soon mean that Box customers would be able to use highly advanced tools such as advanced content processing, and voice control, to power… [Continue Reading]

  We’re back on the weekly release schedule, and after two jam-packed exciting new builds you might be forgiven for thinking the latest big Insider release would be a little light on new features and… you’d be wrong. Build 16232 introduces some of the new security features which will be coming to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, including Exploit Protection, and Controlled folder access in Windows Defender Antivirus. It also introduces improvements for Windows Defender Application Guard (WDAG).
