  British roads to benefit from more reliable IT infrastructure

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 11:59pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Britain's roads are about to get much smarter and more connected following a new deal signed this week. Highways England, the Government company charged with operating, maintaining and improving England’s motorways and major A roads, has signed a £6.7m multi-year contract with technology firm Advanced to be its strategic IT partner. The deal will see Advanced provide Highways England with secure and compliant IT infrastructure hosting, helping it deliver a smoother, smarter and more sustainable strategic road network (SRN) across the country. The move follows Highways England's commitment to a new Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) software solution which looks to provide… [Continue Reading]

  SparkyLinux 5.0 'Nibiru' Debian-based rolling release open source distro is here

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 11:28pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There are a lot of Linux-based operating systems in the wild, and I suggest trying as many as you can. Think of it like fruit -- apples are great, but you shouldn't stop after just tasting it. The world is full of different choices, such as mangoes, bananas, and oranges. The more you try, the more your knowledge expands. The same can be said of Linux -- even if you really like, say, Ubuntu, you should also test Fedora, Mageia, and more. Expand your mind! Today, yet another distro hits a major milestone; SparkyLinux achieves version 5.0. Called "Nibiru," it is a… [Continue Reading]

  How prepared are businesses for cyber security threats?

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 9:56pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Businesses are still failing to ensure they are protecting themselves effectively online, despite the growing number of damaging security threats, a new report from BT has claimed. The UK phone giant has teamed up with KPMG for a new guide advising businesses as to how they can stay safe online when facing the number of complex challenges involved in running a business during this rapidly-changing time. The report says that businesses currently fall into one of five categories related to their levels of preparation concerning cyber security -- Denial; Worry; False Confidence; Hard Lessons; and True Leadership. And although cyber security issues… [Continue Reading]

  ADATA announces SE730H 3D NAND USB-C External SSD for Windows, macOS, and Linux

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 7:07pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  USB-C is the future, and if your computer doesn't have the connector, I feel sorry for you. While it isn't a necessity at the moment, it will be eventually. Luckily, you can sometimes leverage adapters and cables to connect a Type-C device to a machine that is Type-A only. Speaking of USB-C devices, ADATA has a new 3D NAND External SSD that uses that connector. Called "SE730H," it is the successor to the company's diminutive "SE730." Not only does the new model offer higher capacities, but the 3D TLC NAND should lend to improved longevity. While it uses 3.1 gen 2, the drive… [Continue Reading]

  Apple embraces breastfeeding and zombies!

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 6:28pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Apple is using World Emoji Day to preview upcoming emoji that will feature in iOS, macOS and watchOS later in the year. The new emoji include breastfeeding, a zombie, a woman in a headscarf, and a bearded man. The company says that "the new emoji make it easier for users to express themselves with greater diversity, additional animals and creatures, new smiley faces and more," but not everyone is going to take it quite that seriously. Still... zombies! The new emoji are to arrive in iOS 11 later in the year, and there are 56 new additions in total. The… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Creators Update incompatible with certain PCs already running Windows 10

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 6:17pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  The Creators Update rollout is continuing at a glacial pace, with most Windows 10 users yet to be offered it. The reason for this is Microsoft wants to make sure the update is fully compatible with PCs before it’s pushed to them (you can, of course, download and install the update manually at any time). However, it turns out there’s a whole class of PCs running Windows 10 that simply can’t be upgraded to the Creators Update. And these aren’t old PCs either.

  US border officials can't search your cloud data

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 6:15pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  According to the United States Department of Homeland Security, border officials are permitted to search the devices of anyone entering the country with or without probable cause, though there is a limit to type of content they can view. Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to Homeland Security in February seeking clarification regarding why US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been conducting more searches than ever before. Kevin McALeenan, the acting commissioner of CBP, responded to the letter on June 20, revealing that while devices such as smartphones and laptops can be searched, files stored in the cloud are inaccessible to… [Continue Reading]

  LinkedIn app lands on Windows 10

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 5:50pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  You may not need an app to access LinkedIn from a Windows 10 PC, but the Microsoft-owned professional social network believes that it can offer users something that a browser cannot: a better user experience. The LinkedIn app for Windows 10, which is rolling out now in Windows Store, promises to be "more engaging and fully integrated" with the operating system, thanks to features like real-time notifications and trending news. "With the app, we are giving Windows 10 customers a better way to keep up with what’s happening in their professional world that is accessible and tailored for Windows 10,"… [Continue Reading]

  PayPal support is coming to Samsung Pay

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 5:45pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Samsung is entering into an "extended partnership" with PayPal to bring PayPal support to Samsung Pay. To start with, PayPal will be available as a payment method in the US first, but it will expand to other countries in the future. It means that not only can PayPal be used as a source to fund Samsung Pay for POS purchases, but Samsung's Braintree merchants will also be able to accept PayPal payments for online and in-app purchases. Neither PayPal nor Samsung has indicated exactly when support will be added, with "coming soon" being the only hint at a timescale. PayPal says: "Coming… [Continue Reading]

  Chill your boots! Ads in the HTC TouchPal keyboard was just a little weekend SNAFU

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 4:54pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Over the weekend, distress rippled around the HTC community as advertisements suddenly appeared in the TouchPal keyboard. The keyboard is installed as the default on many of HTC's Android phones, including the HTC 10, and users took to social media to voice their unhappiness and concerns about privacy. Despite the ire directed at the Taiwanese company, HTC is not directly responsible for the keyboard, or the update that pushed ads onto people. Rather, the developer issued an update resulting in the SNAFU that upset so many people. That HTC is not in direct control of the keyboard it offers as… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 4:03pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Legacy CRM suites often involve slow, cumbersome interfaces, are frustrating for users and consequently don't achieve wide adoption. According to a Forrester survey, 47 percent of respondents encounter user adoption struggles when implementing their CRM initiative. CRM specialist Insightly is launching the latest version of its product with deep Microsoft Outlook integration, as well as a redesigned technical architecture and user interface to help sales teams in mid-sized businesses improve their productivity.

  DevOps practices help improve the quality of open source components

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 3:24pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The use of open source components can help speed up the software development process, but it comes with a risk if poor quality code leads to vulnerable applications being released. The latest State of the Software Supply Chain Report from DevOps tools specialist Sonatype reveals that organizations which actively manage the quality of open source components flowing into production applications realize a 28 percent improvement in developer productivity, a 30 percent reduction in overall development costs, and a 48 percent increase in application quality. "Companies are no longer building software applications from scratch, they are manufacturing them as fast as they… [Continue Reading]

  Fall/Autumn Creators Update -- how about a Windows 10 name that doesn’t suck, Microsoft?

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 2:12pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft has been producing operating systems for decades, but it’s never been very good at naming them. Things started off well enough, with a straightforward numbering system -- Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, Windows 3.0. Then the company opted for a year-based approach -- Windows 95, Windows 98 -- before switching to using letters -- Windows ME (Millennium Edition) and XP (eXPerience, eXtra Patches?). Then we had Windows Vista, followed by a return to numbers -- Windows 7 and Windows 8, and a random jump to Windows 10. And now we’re getting twice yearly updates for that latest operating system, with… [Continue Reading]

  Plans for age checks on porn sites highlight the UK government's failure to understand the web

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 1:42pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  If there's anything that the UK government has demonstrated in recent years it is that it not only wants to try to take control of the web, but it also fails to understand the web. These two facts make for a terrible combination -- something highlighted by the snooper's charter and the government's desire to break encryption on demand. The latest idea -- ushered in under the guise of protecting children in a bid to win points -- is the introduction of age restriction on porn sites. The Digital Economy Act will require porn sites to use credit card verification… [Continue Reading]

  WikiLeaks reveals CIA tool for SMS spying

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 12:30pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  The latest addition to WikiLeaks' Vault 7 cache of leaked CIA documents details an app that can be used to intercept SMS messages on Android devices. The HighRise tool can grab messages before sending them on to a CIA-controlled server. The app itself goes by the name of TideCheck and it serves as an SMS proxy to allow for the interception of messages on a target's phone. The app itself is password protected (with the word "inshallah") to prevent unwanted tinkering. It also seems to serve a dual purpose, acting as a secure communication channel for CIA operatives. Unlike many… [Continue Reading]

  Google Maps tells you the best time to start your journey

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 11:40am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Time your departure time wrong, and even the simplest of journeys can end up taking far longer than it was meant to. Hit traffic, and your journey time could be doubled -- or worse. A new feature of Google Maps aims to eliminate this problem. The nameless feature is rolling out to the Google Maps mobile app, and it lets you know how long your trip will take if you leave now, or in a few hours' time. It's a simple addition -- and one that would benefit from a little more work and refinement -- but it's a valuable… [Continue Reading]

  IBM announces breakthrough in encryption and data protection for enterprises

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 11:36am CEST par Ian Barker

  With data breaches a problem that shows no signs of going away, businesses are increasingly seeking to protect their information with encryption. But with large volumes of information this can be time consuming and costly. To address the problem, IBM is announcing a breakthrough encryption engine that, for the first time, makes it possible to encrypt all data associated with any application, cloud service or database all the time. Mainframe-based IBM Z is capable of running more than 12 billion encrypted transactions per day. The system’s advanced cryptographic capability now extends across any data, networks, external devices or entire applications… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Fall Creators Update rebranded Autumn Creators Update for some

  Publié: juillet 17, 2017, 10:36am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  The upcoming Redstone 3 release of Windows 10 has been known as the Fall Creators Update for some time now -- but in some parts of the world this name sounds nonsensical. While fall is the season that follows summer in many countries, it's not the case worldwide. It is for this very reason that the update will bear a different name in a number of countries including the UK, Australia, New Zealand and India. Come September, Windows 10 users in these nations will be installing Windows 10 Autumn Update. The change was first reported by Windows Central and it… [Continue Reading]
