  One in 10 UK businesses moved to the cloud

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 10:17pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  A tenth of all UK businesses have moved entirely to the cloud, according to a new Breaking Barriers 2020 report from Fuze. The report is based on a poll of more than 900 CIOs, and claims that the UK keeps lagging behind North America and the rest of Europe in terms of adopting cloud services. The report compares the UK with American firms, 45 percent of which have fully made the migration to cloud. What Fuze sees as a positive move is the fact that almost half (49 percent) adopted some form of formal cloud initiative, either partially or fully. A… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 9:17pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Microsoft has announced its entry into the smart office market with the launch of a new thermostat. GLAS, which was revealed in a YouTube video this week, targets businesses and stores looking to establish a smarter, more connected workplace. Developed in conjunction with Johnson Controls, the device aims to offer a more energy-efficient way to monitor temperature, as well as provide real-time information on energy usage and air quality, and even show off your upcoming calendar information -- such as who has a meeting room booked next. Similar to the likes of Google's Nest or Hive from British Gas, GLAS will be… [Continue Reading]

  Nintendo, expectedly, trademarks Nintendo 64 Classic Edition

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 9:00pm CEST par Mark Raby

  What do 1985 and 2016 have in common? The same video game system as one of the hot-ticket Christmas presents. Nintendo has masterfully fulfilled the need for nostalgia among millions of gamers, in addition to creating that need for countless others who, thanks to the hype of the NES Classic Edition, didn't even realize how cool it was to play games from their childhood days in the 2010s. It came as no surprise, then, when Nintendo announced the follow-up Super NES Classic Edition last month, which is due to be released in September. And eagle-eyed fans have discovered that there… [Continue Reading]

  deepin 15.4.1 Debian-based Linux distribution now available for download

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 8:23pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  So many Linux distributions, so little time! Today, yet another operating system based on the kernel gets a new version. This particular distro, called "deepin" is a bit controversial, as it comes from China -- a country not known for human rights or user privacy. Since the OS is largely open source, I am not really worried, but I can respect people that are wary of spying, however. This new version of deepin is 15.4.1. I know what you are thinking -- this is just a point release, is it really interesting? Actually, yes! There are quite a lot of new features and fixes, making this… [Continue Reading]

  The biggest challenge to adopting IoT? Identifying ROI

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 8:19pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  The biggest challenges companies have with implementing IoT technologies is not security but rather identifying ROI. This is according to a new report by Canonical, entitled Defining IoT Business Models, which polled 360 IoT professionals, including devs, vendors and enterprise users, more than half (53 percent) say "quantifying ROI and providing a clear use case" is currently their biggest challenge. So, it’s currently more important than the lack of available infrastructure (40 percent), or the need for improved device security (45 percent). The report also states that a third (34 percent) of IoT pros think "quantifying the business benefits" should be their… [Continue Reading]

  YouTube Video Editor and Photo slideshows to close September 20

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 6:48pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  YouTube has quietly revealed that its Video Editor and Photo slideshows features will close down in just two months. It seems that not enough people are using the two tools to warrant keeping them alive, so they are being "retired". Users are warned that while videos that have already been published will remain accessible, projects currently sitting in Video Editor must be completed by the shutdown date of September 20. See also: YouTube employs the Redirect Method to counter searches for violent extremist videos The closures mean that YouTubers will increasingly have to turn to third-party tools to cater for… [Continue Reading]

  Essential Phone will be released soon in US and international markets

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 6:17pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Andy Rubin's startup, Essential, announced its highly-anticipated smartphone in late-May. The high-end device, called Essential Phone, is aimed at flagship buyers looking for something a little different from an iPhone 7 or Galaxy S8, packing some cool features and a clean design at a competitive price. But, unlike an iPhone 7 or Galaxy S8, you cannot just go out and buy an Essential Phone. Users can, however, "reserve" one, in either black or white, but when it will ship is as yet unknown at this stage. An email from Andy Rubin gives us a pretty good idea as to when… [Continue Reading]

  YouTube employs the Redirect Method to counter searches for violent extremist videos

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 5:23pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Google, Facebook and other big tech companies have all committed to trying to eradicate extremism from their respective networks in recent months. YouTube has just announced its latest strategy, with a technique which sounds rather like a type of contraception. The Redirect Method uses a very simple technique of displaying safe, carefully curated content when certain keywords are used as search terms. More than this, when searches for extremist content are conducted, YouTube will actually show videos that "debunk violent extremist recruiting narratives." The technique comes from the Jigsaw stables at Alphabet, working in conjunction with Moonshot CVE. Google explains… [Continue Reading]

  Coinbase and GDAX will not support Bitcoin hard fork

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 4:07pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  There is a lot of discussion surrounding what will happen to Bitcoin come August 1, when two major changes to the protocol are scheduled to take place. Will we have a soft fork, which will keep Bitcoin on the current blockchain, or will a hard fork take place, creating a separate blockchain? There is no definitive answer yet, but the major exchanges are preparing its customers for what will likely be a bumpy period in trading. Coinbase has announced its stance, revealing that it will not support the hard fork and the coins that it may create. Coinbase is in… [Continue Reading]

  Best Windows 10 apps this week

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 1:14pm CEST par Martin Brinkmann

  Two-hundred-and-forty in a series. Welcome to this week's overview of the best apps, games and extensions released for Windows 10 on the Windows Store in the past seven days. We are just months away from the release of the next big update for Windows 10, the Fall Creators Update. Only 50 percent of all Windows 10 devices have received the current feature update -- the Creators Update -- so far, which makes it likely that some systems may go straight to the next release when it arrives. As always, if I missed an app or game that has been released this week… [Continue Reading]

  57 percent of internet users are worried about malvertising

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 12:55pm CEST par Ian Barker

  According to a new survey by advert filtering company AdGuard, 57 percent of internet users have either fallen prey to advert scammers, or are worried about malicious and phishing advertising. In addition 48 percent of respondents have experienced privacy issues with tracking requests hidden in online ads, leading to the email spam, unwanted incoming calls and IM chats. "We expect the volumes of malware distributed by hijacked ad networks to rise, since online advertising remains largely unregulated and prone to scammer abuse," Adguard's CTO Andrey Meshkov says. "Ad blocking as we know it these days must be viewed as web… [Continue Reading]

  How ransomware is going manual to target victims [Q&A]

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 12:07pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The ransomware attacks that make the news are the ones like WannaCry and NotPetya that spread rapidly and affect many businesses. But there's a new breed of manual ransomware attack happening that seeks to pick its victims much more selectively with a view to causing maximum disruption. We spoke to Roy Fisher, incident investigator at cyber security company MWR to find out more. BN: What makes manual ransomware different? RF: Traditional ransomware comes through some form of phishing attack or other 'spray and pray' technique. Manual ransomware requires much more time and effort from the attackers. They're trying to break… [Continue Reading]

  Blizzard: World of Warcraft, StarCraft II and more will stop running under Windows XP and Vista

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 10:57am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Microsoft hasn't supported Windows XP and Windows Vista for a while (mainstream support ended eight and five years ago, respectively), but other technology companies have continued to support their own software under these ancient operating systems. Now, however, Blizzard has announced that it is dropping support for the OSes in a number of its games. The list includes names such as World of Warcraft, StarCraft II and Diablo III, and the change is coming later this year. While no precise date has been given, October is the month Blizzard stops supporting pre-Windows 7 computers. In a post on the Blizzard support… [Continue Reading]

  WikiLeaks: CIA analyzed Russian and Chinese malware to inspire its own hacking and surveillance tools

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 9:04am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Some four months after the first Vault 7 leak, WikiLeaks continues to publish revealing CIA documents that detail the agency's ability to hack, infiltrate and surveil targets. The latest batch goes under the banner "UCL / Raytheon", and comprises documents from CIA contractor Raytheon Blackbird Technologies. Dating from late 2014 and late 2015, the documents show how the CIA, through Raytheon Blackbird Technologies, monitored malware in the wild to see how it could be used by the agency. The documents cover tools produced by the infamous Hacking Team as well as the Russian HammerToss malware delivered via Twitter. See also:… [Continue Reading]

  AWS adds intellectual property protection to customer contracts

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 1:02am CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  In an effort to appear more user friendly, Amazon has removed a controversial clause from its AWS customer agreement that may lead to more businesses signing up for its cloud computing services. For quite a few years now, potential customers have been wary of a clause in the company's customer agreement that prohibited customers from suing it over patent infringement. Businesses chose other cloud providers instead as they were concerned over whether or not they could trust Amazon with the intellectual property of their companies. Not only has Amazon decided to remove the non-assert clause but it has also implemented a new policy… [Continue Reading]

  Samsung Galaxy Note8 Android smartphone will make its triumphant debut next month

  Publié: juillet 21, 2017, 12:06am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Samsung's Galaxy Note line of devices totally changed the smartphone landscape forever. Not only did the company revolutionize the "phablet" screen size, but with the addition of the wonderful S-Pen, it made handwriting entry relevant again. Even Apple faced the pressure of big-screen Android devices, finally altering its own iPhone with bigger displays. Life was good for Samsung's Note smartphones, until it wasn't. In a sad turn of events, the most recent variant, the Note7, was recalled due to exploding batteries. While many companies would be unable to survive such a calamity, Samsung has. In fact, its brand is still incredibly… [Continue Reading]
