  Silicon Power makes USB as easy as 'ABC' with Mobile C50 Triple-Interface Flash Drive

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 11:43pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Back in the days of floppy disks, USB flash drives were seen as magic. When first sold, consumers could hardly wrap their heads around the concept. You didn't need to purchase a special drive to read the media, as the USB ports found on many computers were already there -- mind-boggling. Hell, it could attach to your keychain -- wow! Not to mention, they held much more data than a floppy. They were particularly great for students, as it meant easily saving and transporting files. Nowadays, these USB flash drives are largely boring. While still useful for operating system installations, the… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 10:15pm CEST par Nick Peers

  The Document Foundation has unveiled LibreOffice 5.4 64-bit and LibreOffice 5.4 32-bit. Again, it’s on time, arriving six months after the release of LibreOffice 5.3. LibreOffice 5.4 is "the last major release of the LibreOffice 5.x family", and like other point releases is a major one, adding features across all components and incrementally improving compatibility with Microsoft Office document formats. Highlights include a new standard color palette based on the RYB (Red Yellow Blue) color model. File format compatibility improvements include better support for EMF vector images and higher quality rendering of imported PDF files (with support for embedding video… [Continue Reading]

  How to enable and use Dolby Atmos surround sound in Windows 10

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 9:11pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology from Dolby Laboratories. It debuted in 2012, and is designed to "pull you inside the action" with sound that moves around you in a three-dimensional space without being constrained to channels. Microsoft supports Dolby Access in Windows 10 Creators Update, and enabling it and using it is straightforward, but there are some catches to be aware of. Firstly, if you want to experience Dolby Atmos for home theater you’ll need to have a PC that supports HDMI output, and a Dolby Atmos enabled home theater system, sound bar, or TV. You can also… [Continue Reading]

  Russia tried to spy on Macron campaign using fake Facebook accounts

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 8:57pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  This is why you never accept Facebook friend requests from people you don't know, kids. Reuters has reported that Russian agents created two dozen fake Facebook accounts to try and infiltrate and spy on campaign officials working for Emmanuel Macron during his presidential campaign. The news was apparently confirmed by "a US congressman and two other people briefed on the effort." Facebook has "detected spying accounts in France and deactivated them." It used a combination of improved automated detection and stepped-up human effort to find sophisticated attacks. Reuters says Facebook suspended up to 70,000 accounts, and the social media giant did not… [Continue Reading]

  Ubuntu Linux 17.10 'Artful Aardvark' Alpha 2 is ready for testing

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 8:04pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Ubuntu is one of the best Linux distributions around. What? You thought it became insanely popular by accident? Actually, its success is bred from being stable, easy to use, and having a really great community for beginners. Not to mention, it has many different "flavors" (desktop environments), allowing the user to find the best experience based on their preferences. Today, the upcoming version of Ubuntu -- version 17.10 which is named named "Artful Aardvark" -- celebrates a new milestone. While not yet in beta status, it has reached the second alpha stage; the stable version is not due until October. While not… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter looks to boost profits with $99 per month automatic tweet promotion beta

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 7:18pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  When Twitter revealed its Q2 earnings yesterday the figures weren't quite as bright as people would have hoped. With growth stalling, the company is seeking new ways to bring in money, and its latest idea is a tweet promotion service for a fixed monthly fee. Twitter is testing a new ad program which automatically promotes tweets and profiles for $99 per month. The program is currently in private beta, but it could be rolled out to a wider audience at any stage. The new Twitter Ads program does not have a name, but it's clear from the description that Twitter… [Continue Reading]

  Samsung Q2 2017 by the numbers: $54.8 bn revenue, $12.6 bn profit

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 6:26pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  Strong sales of its latest Galaxy S8 smartphone and increased demand for its memory have led Samsung to have a record second quarter. The company released its financials for Q2 today and the company earned $54.8 billion total with $12.6 billion in profit. All of Samsung's products performed exceptionally well with its smartphone and memory divisions leading the charge. The company's RAM and solid state drives were highly sought after as there is currently a shortage on the market. This strong demand did lead to Samsung paying higher component costs but there was still a large increase in the earnings of its mobile division thanks to… [Continue Reading]

  Apple kills iPod nano and shuffle, but makes touch more affordable

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 4:54pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  When every day you're looking at cool new gadgets that push the envelope it is easy to forget about relics like the iPod nano and the iPod shuffle. Apple has kept them alive alongside the iPhone for what seems like an eternity, even though they are pretty much pointless in this day and age. But, hey, what better time to talk about the iPod nano and the iPod shuffle than the present, right? Sadly, the news isn't good for those of you who still want one, because Apple just announced that the iPod nano and the iPod shuffle are finally being put out… [Continue Reading]

  What is the best mobile network in the UK?

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 3:39pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Mobile customers across the UK may find themselves struggling for a consistently reliable connection, according to new figures that show performance is split depending on which country you are in. The latest research from Rootmetrics found that no one operator was able to provide a continually strong performance across the four nations, with EE, Vodafone and Three all claiming the top spot in different countries. Whilst EE took top spot in England (and the UK overall), Vodafone was found to be the top performing network in Northern Ireland, whilst Three came out best in Scotland and Wales. "These latest results… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon Prime Day boosts other shopping apps

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 1:25pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Amazon's Prime Day, although it's only been happening for three years, has already become a sort of Black Friday for the summer season. But a new report shows that it's having a positive benefit for other retailers too. The study by mobile app marketing specialist Liftoff analyzed the install and purchase rates over a seven day period -- three days leading up to Prime Day, Prime Day itself, and the three days following. The company then compared 'Prime Week' to the previous six week period in order to establish benchmarks for shopping app install rates and purchase rates. While shopping… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 12:33pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has been stirring things up a little recently, adding autoplaying videos to search results, and killing off Google Instant. The autoplaying videos are also something that Facebook has tinkered with recently, managing to irritate people in the process. If you're searching Google on your phone, one of the last things you want is to have your battery draining unnecessarily because of videos playing automatically. Thankfully, you can disable this feature; here’s how.

  The future of enterprise flash storage [Q&A]

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 11:10am CEST par Ian Barker

  The all-flash storage market is predicted by Gartner to be worth $9 billion by 2020. But while flash offers speed advantages it's also expensive so it seems likely that the foreseeable future will see a mix of storage. We spoke to Lazarus Vekiarides, CTO and co-founder of ClearSky Data, which offers enterprise storage, backup and DR as a fully managed hybrid cloud service, to find out more about flash storage and how best to exploit it.

  WikiLeaks reveals CIA's Imperial hacking project targeting Mac and Linux

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 11:05am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  WikiLeaks has published the latest of its Vault 7 CIA leaks, this time looking at a project going by the name Imperial. The project is made up of three tools: Achilles and SeaPea which target OS X, and Aeris which targets various flavors of Linux, including RedHat, Debian and CentOS. User guides relating to the two Mac tools date from mid-2011 and show they can be used to Trojanize an OS X disk image or install a persistent rootkit. Aeris was designed to provide a backdoor into Linux-based systems. This time around, the documentation is far shorter and sparser than… [Continue Reading]

  openSUSE Leap 42.3 Linux-based operating system is here -- download it now

  Publié: juillet 28, 2017, 3:11am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Variety is both a gift and curse for Linux on the desktop. On the one hand, it is nice that there are so many operating systems based on the kernel from which to choose. On the other, it can sometimes feel like the community is very fragmented. Not only is there tribalism between users of distributions, but desktop environments too. For instance, there is Ubuntu vs. Fedora and KDE vs. GNOME -- much like Coke vs. Pepsi and Chevy vs. Ford. This is just human nature, I suppose. With all of that said, popular Linux-based operating system, openSUSE Leap, has achieved… [Continue Reading]
