  Fujitsu wants to sell its smartphone business

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 11:23pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  Fujitsu is preparing to sell off its mobile phone operations as the company faces increasing competition from its larger rivals in the mobile phone space. Last February, the Japanese manufacturer decided to spin off both its mobile phone and PC businesses into separate companies in an effort to differentiate its offerings. Fujitsu's mobile division has already attracted a number of investment funds as potential buyers including Japan's Polaris Capital Group and Britain's CVC Capital Partners Ltd. The Chinese PC manufacturer Lenovo has also shown an interest in acquiring the company. The first round of bidding could start as early as September and offers… [Continue Reading]

  Ouch, that hurts! Verizon's new Unlimited plans throttle customers

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 11:13pm CEST par Joe Wilcox

  I should have known better. Once burned is supposed to be twice as wary. Right? Disgruntled by pricing and other policies, in autumn 2015, I took my family from Verizon Wireless to T-Mobile, which cut our monthly bill by more than one-third. But in May of this year we made the trek back in part because data speed is so much faster from my apartment than it is with Magenta. Better Red than dead, eh? Wrong. Oh, dumbass me. Un-carrier's aggressive pricing, and Verizon's first-ever quarterly loss of post-paid subscribers, compelled the nation's largest carrier to respond—by, starting in February,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 5:54pm CEST par Michael Moore

  DDoS attacks are seeing a major rise as hackers seek more diverse threats, according to new research. The latest State of the Internet/Security Report from Akamai reveals that the number of DDoS attacks increased by 28 percent in the second quarter of 2017, following three consecutive quarters of activity decline, as attacks from the PBot malware hit a new high. This growth in DDoS was bad news for UK businesses, which were the second most targeted during Q2 2017, suffering over 32.5 million attacks. The US took the unfortunate top spot, being subjected to over 122.4 million attacks in just three months.… [Continue Reading]

The good news is that the Galaxy Note8 does not disappoint: it has all the right features that you expect from a high-end smartphone and a clear edge over the Galaxy S8, which is unquestionably the best smartphone Samsung sells today.

  AI-powered analytics unlock commercial relationship data

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 4:47pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Details of the deals that a business has with other organizations are usually locked up in contracts or other documents such that valuable information is either not readily available or easily overlooked. California-based Pramata is launching a suite of analytic applications that can identify critical information in existing contracts and combine it with data from business systems such as CRM and billing to benefit commercial relationships. "Most software products give you tools and then ask you and your teams to do all the work populating the tools with your data," says Justin Schweisberger, Pramata's chief product officer. "Pramata is the… [Continue Reading]

  What is Google Chrome Enterprise?

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 4:37pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Chromebooks are gaining traction because they are simple, easy to use and offer great value. For consumers, they can be fantastic options. For enterprises, however, Chrome OS needs to go the extra mile in order to become more attractive. Google is well aware of the longer list of needs that enterprises have, as compared to consumers, which is why it has introduced a new plan, called Chrome Enterprise, that adds a whole host of new features designed specifically with business customers in mind. Chrome Enterprise builds upon Chrome OS by adding the following extras into the mix: Managed Google Play(beta) Managed Chrome… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft will never again sneakily force Windows downloads on users

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 3:27pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  There have been various controversies with Windows 10, from issues with privacy and telemetry, to ads and forced upgrades. Following a court case, Microsoft has vowed to never force upgrade files onto users again. Windows users in Germany were particularly unimpressed when Microsoft forcibly downloaded many gigabytes of files to upgrade from Windows 7 and 8 to Windows 10. Having held out for 18 months, and losing its case twice, Microsoft has finally agreed to stop its nefarious tactics. After a lengthy battle with Germany's Baden-Würtenberg consumer rights center, Microsoft made the announcement to avoid the continuation of legal action.… [Continue Reading]

  Watch the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 launch event here -- live!

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 2:34pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  After the disastrous launch of the Galaxy Note7, Samsung is surely hoping that the Galaxy Note 8 will be rather more successful and rather less fire-prone. The handset is due to be revealed later on today, and you can watch the event live so you get the news as soon as it breaks. As is usual for any major phone launch, there have been the normal round of leaks and rumors surrounding the Galaxy Note 8 (or Galaxy Note8, if Samsung retains the previous naming scheme), and we're expecting to see a Bixby-loving 6.3-inch phone with dual camera and optical… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 1:57pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Some online events unite people -- such as the recent solar eclipse which was streamed online by millions of people unable to see the spectacle in person. Another uniting event occurs when a major website goes down... like Facebook. If you've tried to visit the social network today, you may well have found that the site doesn't load. "Is Facebook down?" you may ask, and you're not alone. Take a look at the website monitoring service Down Detector and you'll notice that Facebook is indeed experiencing problems. If you can't access the site, you are in good company. There are… [Continue Reading]

  IPVanish: A versatile VPN that doesn't log your traffic or sell your browsing data [Review]

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 1:22pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  VPNs (Virtual Private Network) work by routing all of your web traffic to a VPN server through a secure, encrypted tunnel. Their usage has grown substantially in recent years as web users seek not only to circumvent geoblocking, censorship and ISP blocks, but also simply to enjoy a degree of anonymity online. There are number of free and paid VPNs to choose from. While free might seem like the way to go, the truth is these tend to have restrictions, such as a limited amount of free traffic each month, fewer servers to choose from, and throttled speeds. They’re fine… [Continue Reading]

  Casio Edifice EQB-501: a semi-smartwatch with clout [Review]

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 12:55pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Smartwatches. I'm not a fan. People may fawn over the likes of the Apple Watch, but I'm yet to be convinced by timepieces of this ilk. To be honest, I'm not -- or at least haven't been for a while -- much of a fan of watches in general. But that could be about to change. The Casio Edifice EQB-501 is a chunky, stainless steel bracelet watch that's hard to ignore; it is big, bold and striking. It is also Bluetooth enabled so it can, via a connection to your phone, automatically set the time (both locally and for a… [Continue Reading]

  Enterprises not confident security can keep up with digital transformation

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 12:26pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Businesses are increasingly turning to digital transformation to accelerate their online presence, to enrich products, deepen customer relationships, and boost their brand. But the bad guys have gone digital too, taking advantage of the digital ecosystem and user trust to make more sophisticated attacks. A new study sponsored by digital threat management company RiskIQ finds that for many businesses digital transformation and the changing external threat landscape are outpacing enterprise security capacity. The research conducted by IDG Connect finds that an average of 40 percent of organizations experienced five or more significant security incidents in the past 12 months. Among most… [Continue Reading]

  There's a new speed record over a 4G LTE network

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 11:29am CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  Verizon, Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies have managed to exceed the Gigabit speed barrier over LTE. Together the companies were able to reach download speeds of 1.07 Gbps during an Ericsson lab trial using the Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 LTE Modem which is the first modem to support Category 18 LTE speeds. Verizon recently announced that it had reached Gigabit LTE speeds earlier this month and the new milestone builds on the previous achievement. Ericsson provided the Radio System and LTE software that ran in conjunction with a mobile test device based on the Snapdragon X20 LTE modem. The speed of 1.07 Gbps was… [Continue Reading]

  Western Digital My Book Duo external USB-C HDD features up to 20TB storage capacity

  Publié: août 23, 2017, 9:56am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  There is no shortage of diminutive bus-powered portable USB storage drives on the market nowadays -- both SSD and 2.5-inch HDD variants. Unfortunately, these drives typically offer relatively small capacities. Some professionals (and home users) need an external drive with much higher storage possibilities and being portable doesn't always matter. In these cases, a 3.5-inch-based USB drive is preferable, as plugging into a wall outlet for power is not an issue, and more importantly, it is available in higher capacities. Today, Western Digital unveils a new external desktop drive line that should meet the needs of many. Called "My Book Duo," it actually leverages two… [Continue Reading]

  Business leaders and artificial intelligence experts have come together to sign an open letter to the governments of the world warning them of the potential risks of autonomous weapons. The CEOs from 115 different technology companies, including SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk and DeepMind's Mustafa Suleyman, have joined forces to form The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. The group's letter voices its concerns over developing and using fully autonomous weapons on the battlefield, and demands that urgent action be taken to prevent killer robots from being produced or used by the armies of the world. It adds that doing so would fundamentally change… [Continue Reading]
