  New Kodi update arrives -- download it now!

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 9:07pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Kodi has been in the news a lot lately, and not for the best reasons. While the software itself isn’t illegal, using third-party add-ons to watch copyrighted content is, and many of those add-ons have been pulled recently following threats of legal action. Controversial add-on site TVAddons even vanished briefly from the web, before reappearing a week ago. Despite all this, it’s business as usual for the Kodi Foundation which does its best to distance itself from the piracy accusations so often leveled at it, and the team has just released a new build for the popular open source media… [Continue Reading]

  How the connected world is testing the testers

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 8:56pm CEST par Antony Edwards

  With the emergence of IoT, everything becomes connected; there is a continuous blurring between real world and digital world where everything is moving to become predominantly digital. Apps are location-aware, context-aware, and aware of everything around them (supply chain, logistics network) and that’s bringing the custom device world into mainstream industry-wide. Bring together any device (custom or mainstream, mobile or fixed) and everything is connected and focused on the experience of the end user. In this new world, mobile apps are being rolled out continuously and at a far greater speed. Change is fast, and customer expectation sky high. Add… [Continue Reading]

  SoundCloud lives!

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 7:28pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify are all the rage nowadays, they aren't necessarily enough. Independent artists aren't always served well by the aforementioned services. A platform like SoundCloud can be preferable, allowing an artist to experiment and share songs with fans more directly. It is even a great way to discover emerging artists. Sadly, there have been rumors for a while that SoundCloud could eventually shut down. You see, while the platform is beloved by many, it doesn't exactly generate profits. Well, those fears can be quelled for now, as SoundCloud has received an influx of cash from two investors --… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Mobile-powered Elite X3 doesn't sell, so HP hikes the price

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 6:41pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  HP is not one of the most pragmatic players in the smartphone industry, so its decision to release the Elite X3 flagship with Windows 10 Mobile when the platform was clearly dead hardly raised any eyebrows. Hiking the price nearly a year after its launch, however, is harder to understand -- to put it kindly. The Elite X3 is a failure even by Windows smartphone standards, based on usage data from AdDuplex, so you can imagine just how well it is doing in the grand scheme of things. To put things into perspective, Windows smartphone sales dipped below the one million units… [Continue Reading]

  OnePlus 5 camera promo features people getting killed with a chainsaw

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 6:09pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  It is hard not to fall asleep watching promo videos for smartphones. That's why we rarely write about them. Today we make an exception for the new OnePlus 5 camera ad, which, depending on how you look at it, is either really stupid or brilliant -- but memorable nonetheless. Called Lake Blood, it's the story of a chainsaw massacre. The promo features a teenage girl, a bloodied man and the chainsaw killer that's following him. It's not your typical combination of characters, is it? The idea behind the ad is that the OnePlus has such a good camera (or dual… [Continue Reading]

  Manufacturers are cybercriminals' biggest target

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 5:06pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Cyber-attacks all over the world are becoming increasingly sophisticated, according to a new report by the NTT Group company. According to the same report, these attacks are also growing in frequency. The Global Threat Intelligence Center (GTIC) 2017 Q2 Threat Intelligence Report says cyber-attacks were up by 24 percent globally, in the second quarter of 2017. Manufacturers are still the number one target for cybercriminals. The report says 34 percent of all documented attacks were against manufacturers. It was also says that they appear in the top three targets in five of the six geographic regions globally. Phishing is the biggest… [Continue Reading]

  Phishing is the top threat faced by organizations

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 3:21pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Both users and their endpoint devices are the primary target for cyber criminals with phishing being the most prevalent threat according to a new report. The study from research and education specialist the SANS Institute finds security professionals rate phishing at 72 percent, spyware at 50 percent, ransomware at 49 percent, and Trojans at 47 percent as being the top threats today. Phishing has the biggest impact, with 40 percent of survey respondents having experienced phishing attacks, including spearphishing and whaling in the last year. "Users and their endpoints are still in the cross hairs," says Lee Neely, SANS analyst,… [Continue Reading]

As always, if I missed an app or game that has been released this week that you believe is particularly good, let me… [Continue Reading]

  The top five cloud security myths debunked

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 11:42am CEST par Ian Barker

  Increasingly businesses are moving their data and applications to the cloud. But there are always concerns about how secure the information is. Network security company Portnox has put together an infographic looking at some of the myths surrounding cloud security and explaining why they're ill-founded. The top five cloud security myths are that the cloud is inherently insecure, that it's too new to be trusted, that it's good for productivity but not for network security, that security solutions require re-education of teams, and that cloud solutions are unable to help with compliance. The graphic debunks all of these and you… [Continue Reading]

  Former MI5 chief says UK government should not weaken encryption

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 11:31am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The UK government has made no secret of its desire to exert greater control over the internet, and home secretary Amber Rudd has gone as far as suggesting that encryption should be weakened -- and backdoors should be included in software -- to make it easier to carry out surveillance on terrorists. Lord Jonathan Evans, the former chief of MI5 in the UK, acknowledged that encryption had got in the way of monitoring communication between extremists, but said this should not be used as an excuse to weaken security.

  Google adds phishing protection to Gmail for iOS

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 10:15am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A few months ago, Google brought phishing protection to Gmail on Android. Now the company is doing the same for the iOS version of the app. The feature is rolling out over the next few weeks, and it offers a couple of safety nets to protect users from visiting potentially dangerous links in emails. SEE ALSO: Google adds phishing protection to Gmail app on Android Links that are known to be dangerous will be blocked automatically, although Google does still give the option of proceeding to the site in question at your own risk.

  Microsoft announces a high-end edition of Windows 10 Pro

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 9:24am CEST par Wayne Williams

  Two months ago, Microsoft accidentally pushed out a buggy Windows 10 build to Insiders that caused chaos but also revealed something interesting -- the company's plans for a new version of Windows 10 aimed specifically at power users. The leak is now official as Microsoft announces Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, a high-end version of its new operating system. So what’s different about it? Well, Microsoft says it "comes with unique support for server grade PC hardware and is designed to meet demanding needs of mission critical and compute intensive workloads." Windows 10 Pro for Workstations will be available as… [Continue Reading]

  Google shows mad love to Hip-Hop culture with a dope interactive Doodle

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 7:22am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Hip-Hop isn't a music style, but an entire culture. It includes rap music, yes, but also graffiti, breakdancing, and DJing. Not to mention, there is clothing, language, and more. As the great KRS-ONE once said, "Rap is something you do, Hip-Hop is something you live." Very true words. Hip-Hop has positively improved society as a whole, by fostering the sharing of different viewpoints, and bringing people of different cultures and skin colors together. It started in New York, but has spread globally. Google is a very forward-thinking company, and it often shows respect to different people and cultures through its Doodle program.… [Continue Reading]

  Refurbishing servers: 5 great reasons why you need to consider it

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 2:31am CEST par Mike Biglen

  If you work in IT solutions as a provider for managed services, cloud services, or internet services you are going to need servers that meet your needs in terms of both price and performance. So how can you keep your costs down and find the solutions that your clients and customers are looking for? When it’s time to replace your servers, buying refurbished is the obvious solution. Hard on the heels of that thought though is a common fear of zombies -- getting stuck with zombie servers to be more specific. These comatose entities will suck not only your wallet… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft and Panos Panay 'stand behind Surface'

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 1:52am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Earlier today, Consumer Reports caused a huge controversy by pulling its "recommended" status from all Microsoft Surface laptops and tablets. While I personally swear by the consumer-focused organization for its coverage of vehicles and appliances, I take its computer coverage with a grain of salt. After all, it infamously panned the 2016 MacBook Pro for poor battery life, even going so far as to say Chrome provided longer usage than Safari -- totally wrong, by the way. It turns out Consumer Reports's testing of the MacBook Pro was flawed and it later reversed course, recommending the Apple laptop after all.… [Continue Reading]

  The benefits of intelligent DNS in DevOps projects

  Publié: août 11, 2017, 12:30am CEST par Kimberly Lacerte

  The DevOps model continues to gain traction because it’s an efficient and cost-effective development approach. It yields fewer errors, shorter development cycles and reduced need for expensive code fixes after deployment. One goal of DevOps is continuous development and deployment, which necessitates the automatic creation or removal of networks, as well as automated deployment to production. Automation is important because the fewer the number of manual steps involved, the less likely that human error will disrupt the process. Intelligent DNS improves DevOps project lifecycles by integrating with your software development and automation tools. Let’s take a look at intelligent DNS… [Continue Reading]
