  Publié: août 16, 2017, 11:00pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Businesses struggling to get their operations in order before the GDPR kicks in in May 2018 have been given a welcome helping hand from Rackspace. The company has revealed the launch of a new Privacy and Data Protection (PDP) offering which will help companies ensure they are up to speed with the latest data protection legislation. PDP will be able to quickly identify and protect sensitive data such as customer payment information and other kinds of personal details, meaning businesses will not need to worry about being up top speed in terms of their protection and regulation needs. Rackspace says that the platform… [Continue Reading]

  Roku cracking down on channels offering pirated content

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 10:52pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Kodi is under the spotlight for third-party add-ons that allow pirated content, but it’s far from being the only way for users to view illegal TV shows and movies. Roku has a feature called 'private channels' (also referred to as 'hidden channels') that is designed to allow developers to test their creations ahead of making them available through Roku’s own store. Perhaps inevitably though, some of these channels are being used to stream pirated (or adult) content, and Roku isn’t happy.

  Nokia 8 is a premium Android flagship smartphone you might actually want

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 10:43pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Nokia doesn't make smartphones anymore, but the company will sell its name to the highest bidder. Case in point, the current Android devices carrying the "Nokia" branding are actually made by a company called HMD Global. In other words, you are buying an HMD smartphone with the Nokia name slapped on it. This keeps the Nokia brand in consumers' minds, while HMD gets to sell its phones under a name people actually recognize. It's win-win for the two companies. Today, HMD unveils its newest such device -- the Nokia 8. What does the "8" signify? seemingly nothing. It is not… [Continue Reading]

  AWS Macie is a security service based on machine learning

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 9:00pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Amazon Web Services has launched a new machine learning service aimed at helping organizations protect their sensitive data in the cloud. Macie's general premise is quite simple: it analyzes data on the S3 storage service, and is capable of identifying names, addresses, credit card numbers, driver licenses or social security numbers, stuff like that. It then monitors that data and keeps an eye out for anomalies. It can't independently conclude if the leak is malicious or not, but once it identifies that there is a leak it will send out notifications. Macie also comes with a centralized dashboard that is able… [Continue Reading]

  ViewSonic VP2785-4K 27-inch UHD display has 99 percent Adobe RGB, HDR10, USB-C

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 7:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There is no shortage of ultra high definition (UHD) monitors nowadays. Prices for 4K displays have dropped dramatically over the last few years, making them affordable for many home consumers. Heck, there are even some monitors with even higher resolutions now. While many manufacturers are producing lower-priced 4K displays, ViewSonic is apparently going in the opposite direction. Today, the company introduces a beautiful new 27-inch 4K display with professional features, such as 99 percent Adobe RGB and HDR10. It even has USB-C video connectivity, which is perfect for Apple's MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, the price is sky-high, putting it out of reach for most. "The ViewSonic… [Continue Reading]

  The Arctic will house the world's biggest data center

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 6:09pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  The world's largest data center is set to be built in the Arctic Circle. Kolos, the firm behind the project, has chosen the site, in the Norwegian town of Ballangen, due to the abundance of local hydropower and the chilled air which will help naturally keep the data center's temperatures low. So far, the US-Norwegian company has raised several million dollars to help fund the project from private investors in the country. The data center would initially draw 70 megawatts of power, but, within a decade, Kolos is planning to have enough server modules to draw over 1,000 MW. Although the firm has… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook announces new birthday features -- fundraisers and celebratory videos

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 5:30pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook has been busy rolling out a batch of new features and even a new look in the last few days. Today the social network is taking the wraps off two more new features, both with a birthday theme. The one that's likely to be used the most is are new personalized videos which are essentially the photo-slideshows-as-a-video we have become used to from Facebook. The second new feature is the option to "donate" one's birthday, raising money for a particular cause by calling on friends for donations.

  Host a virtual meeting or webinar using CyberLink U

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 5:27pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  With an ever-rising number employees wanting to work from home or going freelance, how do you bring these team members together? There are plenty of messenger tools aimed at business owners, including those from heavyweights such as Facebook and Microsoft. Problem is, adopt one of these tools and you might find that they change direction and are aimed towards flirting teenagers rather than business users. A few years ago we’d use the rather fantastic ICQ to keep in touch with international colleagues before that moved in a completely new direction. At one stage everyone was on ICQ. Skype became the go-to… [Continue Reading]

  On-premises workloads have more security incidents than those in the public cloud

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 4:14pm CEST par Ian Barker

  According to a new survey, workloads run on in-house systems suffer 51 percent more security incidents than those on public cloud services. The study from cloud security and compliance company Alert Logic analyzed more 2 million security incidents captured by its intrusion detection systems over 18 months. It finds customers running applications on public cloud platforms experienced an average 405 security incidents over the period while on-premises customers experienced 612. Hosted private cloud had a 69 percent higher incident rate (684) and hybrid cloud a worrying 141 percent higher (977). But while the public cloud is relatively safe, the results… [Continue Reading]

  Enterprises still struggle with password policies

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 2:54pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Passwords and their effectiveness is a subject that continues to come under the spotlight, particularly with the publication of a recent United States National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) document recommending a move to passphrases. Security awareness training specialist KnowBe4 has carried out a survey of 2,600 IT professionals to look at how organizations are managing passwords and determine how the proposed passphrase concept stacks up against methods currently in use. The findings reveal that 44 percent of respondents overall, (large organizations with 1,000+ employees and small to mid-size businesses), think a passphrase of around 25-characters could work, compared… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 1:33pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A lot of people like to know what the weather is going to be like, but if you suffer from hay fever it can be all the more important to know what to expect. To make life a little easier for people struck by "seasonal allergies," Google is rolling out pollen forecasting. The new feature is integrated into Google search, and it comes as the search giant teams up with The Weather Channel to help give accurate allergy information. The feature uses your location to provide you with up-to-date information about pollen and other allergens. To save you from having… [Continue Reading]

  HBO leaks Game of Thrones S07E06

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 11:15am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Season seven of Game of Thrones has been an absolute disaster for HBO. We have seen leaks and spoilers from both hackers and HBO's distributors, but now episode six of the season has leaked and HBO has no one to blame but itself. HBO Spain accidentally made the episode available to subscribers for a full hour before pulling it. Of course, this hour gave people plenty of time to capture the show, and spoilers are now being shared online. On Reddit, talk of download links has been pushed to PMs as moderators are only too aware that HBO will be… [Continue Reading]

  Donald Trump loses legal battle over iTrump app

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 10:17am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  President Trump has lost a six-year legal battle against the creator of an iOS app. Tom Scharfeld is the man behind iTrump -- an app designed to teach people how to play the trumpet. He successfully represented himself in court, and prevailed over the US president, earning the right to retain the iTrump trademark. The roots of case date back to December 2010 when Scharfeld registered the iTrump trademark. Through his company Spoonjack, he released the iTrump and iBone apps, and in early 2011 he was contacted by Trump's lawyers who said that the trumpet app needed to be renamed… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 9:28am CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Making a streaming service available on as many platforms as possible is key to attracting more and more customers in the cord-cutting era, and, to that end, Sling TV is now opening its doors to Google Chrome users. Sling TV says that its new player, which is available in beta at this stage, can be used by Chrome users on Windows devices and Macs and comes with support for both live and on-demand content. "The Sling TV experience on Google Chrome is not only fast, intuitive and incredibly simple to use, it also gives customers the added benefit of seamlessly starting live… [Continue Reading]

  GNOME desktop environment for Linux and BSD is 20 years old today

  Publié: août 16, 2017, 2:15am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When many people think of Linux, they incorrectly assume it is an operating system. Actually, Linux is merely the kernel which many operating systems leverage. An actual operating system is compromised of many things, including a user interface -- after all, users need to interface with their computer! Most computer users will obviously want a graphical UI nowadays, and for BSD and Linux-based operating systems there are many such desktop environments from which to choose. One of the most popular environments is GNOME. Not only is GNOME a DE, but it has evolved into much more, such as a collection… [Continue Reading]
