  Why you should be moving to the cloud

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 10:04pm CEST par Natasha Bougourd

  Whilst not a brand-new phenomenon, the cloud has dominated headlines in the technology sector in recent years, as more businesses migrate and harness the benefits associated with it. Cloud computing involves businesses hosting data, applications and virtual machines (VMs) on servers in remote data centers, which are connected to devices and users through the internet or private networks. Use of the cloud has been a natural adoption for consumers, but it’s providing trickier to implement for organizations. Business leaders face a myriad of stumbling blocks including legacy systems that prevent integration, shadow IT purchases and resistance from around the business.… [Continue Reading]

  Don't dismiss insider threats when assessing security

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 9:41pm CEST par Thomas Fischer

  When we think of a cyberthreat, we often imagine a nation state hacking group, or a virus trying to work its way into our company network. After all the media is full of depictions of incidents of this very nature -- how many times has North Korea or Russia been blamed for hacking the West? The funny thing is, the cyberthreat that we should be worrying about actually resides in a place that’s a lot closer home, often found within the company building. What I’m talking about is the insider threat. And it’s about time we paid closer attention to it.… [Continue Reading]

  A nanotechnology overnight sensation 30 years in the making!

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 7:27pm CEST par Robert X. Cringely

  One of my favorite mad scientists sent me a link recently to a very important IEEE paper from Stanford. Scientists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have managed to observe in real time the growth of nanocrystalline superlattices and report that they can grow impressively in only a few seconds rather than the days or weeks they were formerly thought to take. What this means for you and me is future manufacturing on an atomic scale with whole new types of materials we can’t even imagine today. What’s strange about this is not that these developments are happening but… [Continue Reading]

  Thinkware F770 is an attractive high-end dash cam [Review]

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 6:53pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  For a dash cam to stand out from the crowd it needs to go beyond the basics of recording video. It has to be easy to use. The quality needs to be very good. It has to be reliable in a wide range of conditions. It must not lose footage in the event of a crash. And, last but not least, it needs a couple of differentiating -- but useful -- features to give it an edge in this highly competitive market. The F770, one of the most attractive dash cams in Thinkware's high-end lineup, promises all those things and… [Continue Reading]

  Google turns emoji into a verbal language

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 5:46pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Many pundits decry the use of emoji as contributing to the decline of advanced communications. While I understand that view, the criticism is quite overblown. Actually, one of the biggest pain points of text-based communication is a lack of context and emotion. In other words, emails and text messages can often be misinterpreted, potentially leading to arguments and misunderstandings. Emoji can remedy that, by improving upon modern language. How? Well, for example, a wink 😉 can help show when a person is joking. Today, Google introduces a new way to insert emoji using its Gboard keyboard -- with voice dictation. While it's cool to… [Continue Reading]

  Leaked memo shows high return rate for Surface devices, and Microsoft's image-improvement plans

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 5:17pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  When Consumer Reports announced that it was dropping its "recommended" status from Surface devices, Microsoft was quick to defend itself. While the software giant disagreed with the move, saying it doesn't believe the "findings accurately reflect Surface owners' true experiences or capture the performance and reliability improvements made with every Surface generation," a leaked internal memo shows high return rates for Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. While it's certainly true that return rates have dropped over time, the information contained in the memo goes some way to explaining the decision taken by Consumer Reports. The memo also shows that… [Continue Reading]

  New platform looks to plug gaps in enterprise security

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 4:41pm CEST par Ian Barker

  When enterprises have a range of different IT systems and integrated supply chains it can lead to gaps in security coverage which are easily overlooked. Fortress Information Security is launching a new Emerging Security Risk Management platform to provide an enterprise-wide visualization capability allowing organizations to spot and address gaps. It creates a visual map across a company's information technology (IT), operational technology (OT) and their external supply chain connections to give a complete view of their cyber security vulnerability. Organizations can then mitigate vulnerabilities before they become points of attack. "There is a cyber security challenge facing most companies… [Continue Reading]

  Google is testing Material Design in Google Calendar for the desktop

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 3:57pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Despite the age of its Material Design, Google is being surprisingly slow in rolling out the look to its products. While the UI is found pretty much universally in Android apps, the appearance on the desktop is happening at a rather more leisurely pace. Chrome 59 sees the appearance of Material Design, and now Google is testing the look in the desktop version of Google Calendar. The design is undergoing testing through Google's Trusted Tester program, but images have leaked out giving us a glimpse of what's to come. Over on Reddit, a user called xDawnut has shared a series… [Continue Reading]

  Fear of missing out is driving cloud investments

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 3:19pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Businesses are increasingly keen to move ahead with cloud strategies and, according to a new survey, one of the reasons may be simply that they don’t want to miss out. The study from backup and archiving company Commvault with CITO Research finds that 81 percent of C-level and other IT leaders are either extremely concerned or very concerned about missing out on cloud advancements. It’s perhaps not surprising then that 93 percent of respondents say they are moving at least some of their processes to the cloud. In addition, 56 percent say they have moved or intend to move not… [Continue Reading]

  Opera kills off its free data-saving app, Opera Max

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 1:54pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Opera Max -- the free data-saving and VPN-like tool from the team behind the Opera web browser -- is being killed off. The app has been removed from Google Play with immediate effect, and there will be no more updates. Opera is not really giving a reason for the sudden decision other that the fact that Opera Max had "a substantially different value proposition than our browser products." The announcement will come as bad news for anyone who had come to rely on Opera Max to keep their data usage in check, particularly when traveling. It's a similar idea to… [Continue Reading]

  Google buys health monitoring startup Senosis Health

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 12:53pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google's latest acquisition is Senosis Health, a Seattle-based startup focused on monitoring and diagnosing health conditions via mobile phones. This is not Google's first venture into the world of health, but it could signify its next big step. Senosis Health, founded by Shwetak Patel, has transformed regular smartphones into medical devices that can be used to monitor everything from jaundice in babies to chronic respiratory diseases. The aim is to do as much as possible without the need for extra, specialist equipment. Senosis Health has even devised an app -- HemaApp -- which can measure hemoglobin levels using nothing more… [Continue Reading]

  Four tips to make bots successful at customer support

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 12:48pm CEST par Alan Ranger

  Bots are at a tipping point in customer care, and many large bands, including RBS and Vodafone, are already bringing AI and bots to life for millions of their customers. But the hype around bots has also introduced many misconceptions. If implemented poorly, bots could have a disastrous effect on the customer experience. From our work with many of the world’s leading bot-makers and largest brands over the last few years, we have learned there are four "secrets" to making bots successful in customer care, without which bot projects are more likely fail. 1. A bots is just another customer… [Continue Reading]

  McAfee launches virtual security platform for AWS

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 11:11am CEST par Ian Barker

  Workloads on AWS can be vulnerable to a number of different threats including cross-site scripting, SQL injection and botnets, and if one virtual server is compromised malware has potential to move to a customer's other machines. To secure this McAfee is launching its Virtual Network Security Platform for AWS to provide advanced security in the public cloud. Instead of taking a traditional approach by monitoring an entire network segment to effect protection for a single workload, McAfee vNSP protects at the individual workload level. This guarantees visibility of inter-segment traffic, eliminating a single point of failure for an entire network… [Continue Reading]

  Hackers leak more HBO episodes -- but Game of Thrones is left in the cold this time

  Publié: août 14, 2017, 10:33am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  HBO continues to feel the fallout from the recent hack it suffered. We have seen leaks of episodes and scripts from Game of Thrones, and the network allegedly tried to offer the hackers a "bug bounty" to stop the leaks. The offer did not work, and the leaks continue. Episode five of Game of Thrones season seven may have aired last night (meaning today will undoubtedly see a flurry of downloads from torrent sites), but the hit show has been let off the hook in the latest batch. This time, it is episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm and other shows… [Continue Reading]
