  Ubuntu 17.10 Artful Aardvark Beta 1 is here -- download the Linux distro now

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 8:47pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Ubuntu 17.10 should be available in October. With Canonical making GNOME the default desktop environment, and killing the much-maligned Unity, this will be the most exciting release in years. Quite frankly, the operating system had been feeling sort of stale lately, so a new default DE should shake things up. Today, the first official Beta of Ubuntu 17.10 becomes available. This pre-lease version of the operating system, codenamed "Artful Aardvark," does not include the GNOME desktop, unfortunately. Instead, it includes several other spins, including Kubuntu, Lubuntu, and more. "The first beta of the Artful Aardvark (to become 17.10) has now been released!… [Continue Reading]

  MK Plex add-on for Kodi killed off by legal letter to TVAddons

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 6:22pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Kodi has been in the news a great deal recently, thanks largely to a surge in interest in addons for the media center software. High profile addons like Phoenix disappeared, as did (temporarily) the addons site TVAddons. The latest victim is a Plex addon from MetalKettle -- MK Plex. Eager to avoid legal action after receiving a letter from Plex's legal team, MetalKettle decided to shut up shop rather than continue to provide an addon that could be used to access Plex through Kodi without a paid-for Plex Pass subscription.

  Lenovo Explorer Windows Mixed Reality headset arrives this holiday season

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 3:47pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  We've known for quite some time of Lenovo's Windows Mixed Reality headset, but it is not until today that we learn more about what it will bring to the table when it will finally arrive later this year. First, let's talk about the name. Unlike ASUS, which calls its offering the Windows Mixed Reality Headset, Lenovo has come up with a more fitting name for its first device: the Explorer. This will surely make it more appealing in the eyes of early adopters. The Explorer, which is similar in design to the Windows Mixed Reality Headset and Dell's Visor, is… [Continue Reading]

  Apple sends out invites to September 12 iPhone 8 launch

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 3:43pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The launch of the iPhone 8 has been awaited with bated breath, and this time around there have been rather more leaks than normal. We've not only seen suggestions of what the new phone will look like, but also heard strong rumors about features such as wireless charging and Face ID 3D facial detection. What we have not known for sure is just when Apple will reveal all. Now the wait is over. The company has just sent out invites to an event to be held at the Steve Job Center in Cupertino ("let's meet at our place"). The date:… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Fall Creators Update launches October 17

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 3:21pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Microsoft has confirmed what leaks have suggested for a little while (thanks, Lenovo!). The launch date for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is October 17, 2017 -- and no, there is no Autumn Creators Update! This will be the fourth major update to Windows 10, and it is one that has been keenly awaited by users of the operating system, although it's not going to be without its share of disappointments. Microsoft confirmed the release date at IFA today, and pointed out two of the update's key new features: eye-tracking and Windows Mixed Reality.

  30 percent of Americans would leak private data for $1,000

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 3:00pm CEST par Ian Barker

  As we carry out more of our day-to-day transactions online, so the amount of information about us that exists out on the internet grows. That means there are more and more opportunities for data to be leaked or stolen, but a new study by IT staffing company Modis reveals that people still aren't taking their privacy seriously. If $1,000 were on offer over 41 percent of respondents say they would leak personal photos, while nearly 39 percent are willing to part with their browser history. Most are more protective about their financial information though, with only 10.9 percent ready to… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 continues to see very slow user adoption

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 2:37pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  According to NetMarketShare, in July Windows 10 grew its usage share by 0.83 percentage points -- its largest increase in three months. (This, remember, is an OS that only managed to gain a grand total of five percent share in an entire year). With a new major update to the operating system right around the corner, you might expect Windows 10 to have grown its share by a similar figure in August, but no. It's back to the glacial growth we usually see for the new OS. In August, Windows 10 went from 27.63 percent to 27.99 percent, an increase of just 0.36… [Continue Reading]

  How to enlarge images without loss of quality

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 1:20pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Any photo editor -- be it on the desktop, or on the web -- can reduce an image’s size. You can shrink images down as little or as much as you like. However, making an image bigger, well that’s a whole different matter. When you blow up a picture you can introduce all manner of problems, including blurring, general loss of sharpness, and jagged edges. That said, it is possible to increase a picture’s size without introducing these problems, if you know how. The trick is to use the right software. Two excellent free tools to try are A Sharper… [Continue Reading]

  This is Moto X4

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 3:34am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  The smartphone market has been a bit boring lately, but things are starting to heat up. Manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of design, as we see with the beautiful Essential Phone, Samsung Galaxy Note8, and leaks of the upcoming iPhone 8. Now is an exciting time to be buying a new smartphone. The Moto Android smartphones have long been forward-thinking in design, and today, Lenovo unveils its latest such device, which runs version 7.1 of the operating system -- not Oreo. The "Moto X4," as it is called, features a 2.2 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, 3GB of RAM, a 3,000mAh battery,… [Continue Reading]

  Nest Thermostat E is a more affordable way to control your home's temperature

  Publié: septembre 1, 2017, 2:37am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Earlier this year, my local energy company emailed me with an offer I couldn't refuse -- a big discount on a Nest Thermostat. While I had never really cared much about such a product -- I was OK getting up from my chair to control my home's temperature -- the price was too enticing. And so, I installed the product and linked it to my Amazon Echo. With the power of my voice, I can now control both my air conditioning and heating. It is amazing. The energy company has even issued me a check for allowing them to control it… [Continue Reading]
