  Where can blockchain add value?

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 11:52pm CEST par Shaan Mulchandani

  Blockchains and their use cases have evolved significantly since the advent of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. And for a few good reasons. The fully decentralized system lowers transaction costs, improves record-keeping and enables complete transactional traceability. These benefits make blockchains ideally suited for the hyperconnected digital era -- one in which trust boundaries between devices, networks, applications and users are being constantly redefined. But what makes blockchains credible? A blockchain’s network participants are bound by certain rules, which are continuously validated by peers. Several built-in mechanisms, including proof-of-work, proof-of-stake and consensus-based decisions ensure trust is maintained and strengthened. The… [Continue Reading]

  The biggest challenges in mobile security

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 9:53pm CEST par Isaac Daniel

  In the past 20 years, we have seen a boom in mobile adoption and the arrival of the Internet of Things, but recently these advancements have been overshadowed by cybersecurity attacks which have targeted celebrities, the NHS and even the CIA. As a result, concerns for our online and mobile security have sky rocketed for both B2B and B2C customers. These hackers’ skills are forever evolving, and our ability to stay one step ahead is becoming increasingly difficult, with providers embarking on a never-ending search for ways to stop these attacks. So, what are the current challenges facing the world… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases Windows 10 Redstone 4 Insider Preview Build 16353 for PC

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 7:42pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I've faced a bit of criticism for claiming the Windows Insiders program was getting confusing and convoluted. Yeah, for some of you, the program is totally clear -- I get it. Please understand, however, that not all Insiders have their lives revolving around Windows 10 like maybe you do. And that's a good thing. When collecting data, you want to have varying degrees of knowledge and understanding, as that provides more diverse feedback. Today, Dona Sarkar legitimizes my concerns by acknowledging that things are getting a tad confusing. While announcing a new RS4 build for the "Skip Ahead" folks -- Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16353 for… [Continue Reading]

  Sony's new Xperia XZ1 flagship ships with Android 8.0 Oreo

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 6:07pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  It's been a while since Sony came up with a flagship smartphone I wanted to talk about. The new Xperia XZ1 is an interesting proposition in the high-end segment, mainly because it comes with the latest and greatest version of Android out of the box, less than two weeks after Google announced Oreo. I expected Sony to be late to the party, but this time around it managed to get ahead of the likes of LG and Samsung, which is impressive. What is not is the fact that the Xperia XZ1, just like its smaller Xperia XZ1 Compact brother, looks very similar to… [Continue Reading]

  JBL unveils Boombox Bluetooth speaker

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 5:41pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Back in the day, when people wanted portable music, it usually meant using a giant boombox loaded with C or D batteries. These devices offered the ability to play AM/FM radio, cassette, and later on, CD too. The included carry handle allowed the owner to easily take it to places like the park or the beach. Heck, some people walked around with it on their shoulder blasting music on the go. Nowadays, boomboxes have largely been replaced by small Bluetooth speakers and smartphones. JBL seems keen on resurrecting this product type, however, with its all-new "Boombox." This is a very large… [Continue Reading]

  The difference in lighting today

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 5:33pm CEST par Alan Buckingham

  It's been a long time since Thomas Edison gave us that little gift that slowly took candles from necessity to decoration. We've since come a long way, from gas lights through incandescent and on to compact fluorescent and now LED. Each iteration has brought improvements in terms of such things as energy use and longevity. Today's, LED bulbs have a lifespan of roughly twenty years so changing them is almost unheard of. They are also full bright when you switch them on which is a big step up from the compact fluorescents we'd just grown used to. Those were almost like watching a sunrise. Today's bulbs are… [Continue Reading]

  SanDisk unveils record-breaking 400GB Ultra microSDXC card

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 4:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  For a while, many Android device manufacturers were removing microSD card slots from their products. With the explosion of cloud storage, this sort of made sense. Not to mention, from a privacy perspective, removable storage can be seen as a weakness. Many consumers and tech reviewers spoke out against this trend, and, nowadays, plenty of Android smartphones continue to have expandable storage -- just look at the the Samsung Galaxy Note8 for example. Today, SanDisk unveils a record-breaking microSDXC card. This new "Ultra" card features a massive 400GB capacity. Prior to it, the largest capacity for a microSD card was 256GB. This card… [Continue Reading]

  LG takes the wraps off V30 flagship

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 4:40pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The G6 is a nice high-end smartphone, but it cannot hold its own against Apple's next iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy S8. LG's new V30, however, might just have what it takes to level the playing field. LG is well aware that it cannot win a battle against the heavyweights in this market if it does not bring its A game, which is why the V30 comes with everything that you expect a flagship to have in this part of 2017 -- and more. It's actually the first LG-made flagship in years that I would want to buy. Here are the main specs. It's got a 6.0-inch OLED FullVision display with… [Continue Reading]

  New blockchain platform helps cut online ad fraud

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 4:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  While digital advertising is increasingly popular, it suffers from a lack of trust due to fraud and, despite predictive technology, has relatively low accuracy. As a result, a high percentage of spend gets wasted. Advertising ecosystem Papyrus, launching today, aims to bring together users, publishers, advertisers and developers of decentralized applications in a new way that permits them to interact in an environment with built-in fraud prevention and which offers an unprecedented level of control. It works using a "trustless" environment powered by blockchain technology. Using blockchain, participants rely on decentralized consensus and universal transparency and incentives for fair and… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech unveils elegant MX Sound Bluetooth desktop speakers

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 3:52pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Earlier today, Logitech announced a unique new keyboard called "Craft." It is designed to work in harmony with the company's excellent Logitech MX Master 2S mouse, but, of course, you can use it with any pointing device that you choose. Logitech is hoping to dominate your desk with these products not only because they work exceptionally well, but also because they will share an elegance and design style that will transform your work space into something beautiful. Of course, a mouse and keyboard alone do not complete an elegant desktop experience, so the company is also introducing a new 2.0 desktop speaker system. Called MX Sound,… [Continue Reading]

  Western Digital buys cloud storage company Upthere

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 3:47pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  In an effort to add a cloud component to its physical storage business, Western Digital has announced that it has acquired the cloud storage company Upthere. Upthere was founded in 2011 and its app Upthere Home appeared on the App Store and Play Store in 2015. Since then, though, little has been heard from the company and it appears as if its app had a difficult time competing against the likes of Google, Apple and Microsoft in the cloud space. Upthere will continue to operate on its own and Western Digital has yet to announce plans to integrate the company's cloud offerings with its… [Continue Reading]

  DMARC -- rebuilding trust in email [Q&A]

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 2:01pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Email has become the default means of communication for both businesses and individuals, but as we saw yesterday it isn't without its problems. A major issue email has is that of security, cyber criminals are getting better at creating phishing and other messages that accurately spoof commercial organizations. But there is a technology in the form of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) which has the potential to restore faith in email communication. We spoke to Patrick Peterson, founder and executive chairman of email trust specialist Agari, to find out more. BN: How did DMARC come about? PP: For… [Continue Reading]

  Could Kim Dotcom's Bitcache and K.im be the solution to piracy?

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 1:50pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The man made famous by Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, thinks he may have come up with a solution to piracy. The solution pairs his new file-sharing site, K.im, with his micro-payment service Bitcache. Working in a slightly different way to Megaupload, K.im is a decentralized cloud-based hosting system. Users can upload files and they will be distributed between various cloud services and also Bittorent. Coupled with Bitcache, a Bitcoin-based payment system, creators can charge for access to their content. Kim Dotcom is still fighting extradition to the US, but this did not stop him from giving a demonstration of his new… [Continue Reading]

  How to speed up your DNS settings

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 1:19pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  When you type a URL into your browser’s address bar and hit enter, there will be a slight delay while the software asks a DNS (Domain Name System) server for the IP address of the site in order to be able to load it. Switching to a faster DNS server could shave milliseconds off the lookup time, and ultimately speed up your browsing. You can do this manually, or there’s a simpler option. While OpenDNS or Google's Public DNS might be the fastest choices, that’s not always the case. DNS Jumper is a free, portable tool that can find the… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech Craft keyboard borrows heavily from Microsoft's Surface Dial

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 12:06pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The latest device to be announced by Logitech is the Logitech Craft keyboard -- a wireless keyboard with a dial that's remarkably similar to the Surface Dial. It's so similar, in fact, that it's hard to imagine that Microsoft's lawyers aren't stroking their chins and wondering what to do. Logitech refers to the new hardware as an "advanced keyboard with creative input dial," and the main target audience is people working with Photoshop or other design ventures. Of course, the company wants to appeal to as many people as possible, and points out that the dial -- known as the… [Continue Reading]

  BlackBerry will unveil full-touchscreen smartphone soon

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 10:53am CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  BlackBerry could be set for a sensational return to the world of business smartphones, according to parent company TCL. The manufacturer of BlackBerry's smartphones has announced that it will release a companion device to the KeyOne that will ditch the physical keyboard in favor of a full touch screen. The head of global sales at TCL, Francois Mahieu noted during the IFA tech conference in Berlin that "Two months from now, we will have a touchscreen solution to show." In February, TCL promised that it would launch as many as three devices by the end of 2017 but now the company has… [Continue Reading]

  Kingston launches DataTraveler Bolt Duo flash drive for Apple iPhone and iPad

  Publié: août 31, 2017, 2:29am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Nowadays, many people leverage cloud storage for mobile devices. With Wi-Fi and high-speed cellular data being commonplace, this works fairly well -- until it doesn't. If you ever find yourself in a place without a reliable internet connection, it can be quite frustrating when you can't access needed files. It can also be a massive dilemma if your phone or tablet runs out of available storage and you don't have a connection to offload them to the cloud. While many Android devices can use USB-C flash drives, iPhone and iPad users cannot, sadly. Luckily, some manufacturers make flash drives with a… [Continue Reading]
