  Publié: août 30, 2017, 6:24pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Dell revealed more information about its first Windows Mixed Reality headset yesterday, and now it is ASUS' turn to do the same. The company, which is among the first supporters of the platform, chose IFA 2017 to talk about price and expands on the specs that it has. The Windows Mixed Reality Headset (yes, that's its actual name), which we first read about back in late-May, has a pretty cool design, featuring "hundreds of 3D polygons and a glossy tone-on-tone effect." There are anti-bacterial materials used for the cushioning and a crown design that is balanced and optimized to reduce the amount of… [Continue Reading]

  The PC is still king in the office

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 5:52pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Desktop computers remain the primary means of work for the majority of the workforce, but this may not be the case for long. A new report from Spiceworks examining the current usage of, and future investments in business PCs and mobile devices in the US, UK and Canada titled The Future of the PC says 60 percent of employees still use desktops as their primary working device. PCs are followed by laptops (27 percent), thin devices (five percent), tablets (three percent), smartphones (two percent), and 2-in-1s (two percent). However, the future seems brighter for the laptop than the PC. Investments… [Continue Reading]

  New authentication methods help companies to ditch passwords

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 5:34pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Most people now recognize that passwords alone are flawed as a means of securing systems. The problem is that there are lots of options when it comes to finding a better way of doing things. Access control specialist SecureAuth is helping the move towards a passwordless world with the introduction of additional multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods, including Link-to-Accept via SMS or email, and YubiKey, the FIDO Universal Second-Factor (U2F) security key by Yubico. These methods mean users aren't required to have a phone or smartphone application in order to authenticate without passwords. This allows organizations to go passwordless without having to… [Continue Reading]

  Ashampoo Music Studio 7 is your one-stop music center

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 5:28pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  They say everyone has a book in them. Using this theory, everyone should have a song, too. But, it’s not as easy to create a track from scratch. You can lay down a beat, but you really need a keyboard to control input and also some basic composition understanding, such as how to create a chord. An easier way is to, well, borrow from other people. Effectively that’s how a DJ will learn his trade. They take songs created by other bands and add their own components or simply mix together for one continuous track. Obviously, it goes without saying that you… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 5:15pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Digital assistants can do many things well, but no single one can do everything that we need. That's why we use different ones, depending on what we want to do and what device we are using. But what if they could talk to each other, so we wouldn't have to switch between them anymore? Amazon and Microsoft have decided to do just that, announcing that Alexa and Cortana will soon be able to work together to help users do what they want much more quickly and easily. Here's what that means for the two tech giants' customers. On Windows 10,… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 4:51pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new study by content management and collaboration specialist Egnyte has analyzed 25 Petabytes of customer data and four billion of the activities they performed. This has been used to uncover unique insights about the way businesses are managing their data and how their employees are collaborating on it. Among the findings are that hybrid content has grown by 83 percent year-on-year, while 41 percent of content resides in on-premises storage. New types of content are affecting storage use too and this trend is likely to continue as video is expected to claim 80 percent of web traffic by 2019.… [Continue Reading]

  Sophisticated phishing attacks target Office 365

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 4:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  With over 100 million monthly subscribers, it's not surprising that Office 365 is a popular target when it comes to attempting to steal credentials. A new report from Barracuda Networks looks at how phishers are sending out authentic-looking emails purporting to be from Microsoft asking users to reactivate their accounts. "Cybercriminals have a long history of designing attacks to reach the largest number of eyeballs possible," says Asaf Cidon VP of content security services, writing on the Barracuda blog. "From the early days of traditional spam, to search or trending topics on social platforms, criminals follow the users -- and… [Continue Reading]

  Happy 35th birthday email, you've changed our lives

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 3:29pm CEST par Ian Barker

  On August 30th 1982, Dr VA Shiva filed the first copyright for an email system. That means email turns 35 today, but though it's all grown up it's proved to be a bit of a problem child. A new survey released to coincide with the anniversary by Edison Software, makers of an AI mail app, finds that email has grabbed a dominant role in many of our lives and this shows no signs of abating. The study shows that 74 percent of Americans feel overwhelmed by the number and frequency of emails they receive. What's more, nearly half (44 percent)… [Continue Reading]

  Improving the measurement of cyber threats before they turn into attacks

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 12:35pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Cyber attacks are a major problem for companies and they can be made all the more devastating if a long time elapses before they're discovered. A new report by the Cloud Security Alliance looks at helping enterprises develop metrics and processes to measure threats before they become cyber attacks. The paper introduces two key metrics -- Elapsed Time to Identify Failure (ETIF) and Elapsed Time to Identify Threat (ETIT) -- and proposes that the responsibility for measuring and reporting each be transferred from companies whose systems encounter cyber attacks to those in the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) space. Researchers suggest that… [Continue Reading]

  Google Play Protect branding to be added to certified Android devices

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 11:21am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google Play Protect is the company's latest attempt to prevent Android users from being tricked into installing malware or insecure apps. As an extension of this, Google is introducing a branding program that will see the Google Play Protect logo added to certified Android devices. The certification of Android phones and tablets is not a new concept -- it's something that Google has been doing for a while. But the new branding on packaging will help buyers identify devices that Google has approved, and it should also encourage more manufacturers to submit their hardware for certification. Nothing about the certification… [Continue Reading]

  YouTube rolls out redesign and unveils new logo

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 9:56am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Redesigns are tricky beasts, almost inevitably dividing opinion and leading to questions about why things couldn't have just been left alone. Running the risk of a double whammy of complaints, YouTube has rolled out not only a redesign of its sites, but also a brand new logo. Both the desktop and mobile versions of YouTube have been treated to a new look. It's the redesign that has been beta tested on users for a few months, and with a few extra tweaks, the company is ready to give everyone access to it.

  Verizon donates a jaw-dropping $10 million for Hurricane Harvey disaster relief

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 2:51am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While Hurricane Harvey has been devastating, there has been one positive aspect -- it has shown that people are still willing to help their fellow man. After the tragedy in Charlottesville, it felt like humanity was on the decline, but the outpouring of donations and support for the affected people in Texas has warmed my heart and renewed my faith. Not only have both people and organizations donated money, but time and resources too. Google, for instance, has been helping in many ways. Today, Verizon also pledges money to the folks affected by Harvey, but its donation dwarfs those made by many… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: août 30, 2017, 12:22am CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Deloitte and HP are joining forces to give their digital manufacturing services and 3D printing services a little push. The partnership will see HP’s 3D printers become part of the digital supply chain in more large-scale manufacturing environments. The goal of the joint effort is to help businesses speed up product design, as well as to create a more flexible manufacturing supply chain and production services (for example, prototyping).

The two companies hope this makes large enterprises more competitive… [Continue Reading]
