  How to make Android and iOS apps smaller

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 10:35pm CEST par Mrityunjay Kumar

  In an ideal world, if you were the sole provider of any service through app and the users had unlimited resources on their devices, there would be no question of optimization and terms like agility and even user experience would be redundant. But as you might know, the current state of app industry is anything but ideal. There are dozens of apps competing for even the simplest of services and no matter how premium device a user has, there is always a limit to the number of apps it can operate smoothly. The worst part, however, is scenario where after… [Continue Reading]

  Renogy Lycan Powerbox can provide electricity during a storm such as Hurricane Irma

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 8:45pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  The United States has been heavily under attack from Mother Nature lately. Hurricane Harvey caused horrific devastation in Texas, and now Irma is headed for Florida. During these disasters, it is not uncommon to lose electricity. This can be a huge pain point, as people need devices such as cell phones to call for help -- a device with a depleted battery is pretty much useless. Not to mention, some folks have medication that requires refrigeration, so a loss of power could actually lead to death or sickness. Thankfully, companies sell generators to keep the power flowing during an electricity outage. For prolonged… [Continue Reading]

  Resilio Sync enables you to sync and share files without the cloud

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 8:30pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  There are many cloud-based synchronization services, including Dropbox, Google Drive, SugarSync and others. These services all use the same method of synchronizing your files. Choose the data you want across your computers and the content is uploaded to the cloud and then made available across your other devices. The issue here can be if you don't have fast broadband, making uploading huge files problematic. The answer is a peer-to-peer service where your data remains on one device whilst it’s synchronized to others, whether you own these devices or they are authorized users. Resilio Sync is free P2P technology from the developers of… [Continue Reading]

  T-Mobile will give you free Netflix in time for Stranger Things Season 2 -- here's how to get it

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 8:23pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  T-Mobile may not be the best cell carrier from a coverage perspective, but it provides its users with a lot of value. The company and its foul-mouthed CEO, John Legere, often use outside-the-box thinking to disrupt the mobile phone industry. For instance, the company once gave free Domino's pizza to its customers through its "T-Mobile Tuesdays" scheme. Even without the added bonuses, its unlimited service is quite affordable compared to, say, Verizon. Today, T-Mobile is once again giving away something for free, but it is much better than some cheap chain-restaurant pizza. You see, subscribers to its T-Mobile ONE family plans will… [Continue Reading]

  Symantec: hackers could target US and European power grids with Dragonfly 2.0 attacks

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

  Researchers at Symantec have warned that a "sophisticated attack group" is targeting the energy sector in Europe and North America, and has been doing so for some time. A group known as Dragonfly has been detected carrying out attacks since 2011, and the campaign of attacks was recently stepped up a gear. Dubbed the Dragonfly 2.0 campaign, the attacks included disruption to the Ukrainian power system in 2015 and 2016. After a quiet period, the group's activities have started up again, with targets hit in US, Turkey and Switzerland. On the hit list are energy facilities -- something that could… [Continue Reading]

  Box offers cloud services to London Metropolitan Police

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 6:19pm CEST par Michael Moore

  London's law enforcement forces are about to get a significant storage upgrade thanks to a new partnership with Box. The online storage giant has announced that it will now be working with the London Metropolitan Police to provide 50,000 staff with better cloud provision. The Met says that the move will help it accelerate its move towards digital policing, bringing benefits such as faster and more efficient content management, particularly in storing CCTV footage. The new systems will also hopefully act as a more reliable central database for evidence, without the need to transfer photo or video content onto physical media… [Continue Reading]

  Emerging threats encourage cooperation among security professionals

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 5:27pm CEST par Ian Barker

  According to a new survey of attendees to this year’s Black Hat USA conference, concerns around emerging threats like ransomware and polymorphic malware have sparked a significant increase in collaboration by the cybersecurity industry. The study by security management specialist AlienVault spoke to over 600 participants at the conference and found that for 43 percent, ransomware is their biggest security concern. The second largest group, 31 percent, is most worried about polymorphic malware, which is able to adapt its appearance to avoid detection. In terms of ransomware, the biggest fear for most participants (38 percent) is being unable to prevent… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook is overestimating its ad reach

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 5:25pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook ad metrics are facing scrutiny after it transpired the social network is overestimating the potential audience advertisers can expect to reach. A senior analyst from Pivotal Research Group points out that Facebook's Adverts Manager tool suggests demographic figures that exceed official numbers. For example, advertisers are told that they could hit up to 41 million 18- to 24-year-olds in the US, but according to recent census data only 31 million 18- to 24-year-olds live in the US. The discrepancy is not isolated, as there are similar instances of inflated potential reach suggestions for various age groups in the US,… [Continue Reading]

  Android Oreo could eat through your data allowance even if you have Wi-Fi enabled

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 3:31pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  An apparent bug with Android Oreo has been discovered which means Google's mobile operating system could be munching its way through your data allowance, even if you're connected to a wireless network. A thread on Reddit highlighted the issue, with many people pointing out that it could prove expensive for anyone not using an unlimited data plan. Google is apparently aware of the problem and is working on a patch, but in the meantime Oreo users are being warned to consider disabling mobile data when they are at home or using a wireless connection elsewhere.

  Following Avast's acquisition of rival firm AVG last year the two companies' products have largely continued side by side.

  The trackball lives! Logitech launches wireless MX ERGO

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 2:53pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While some people view the trackball as a product from yesteryear, they would sort of be incorrect. Sure, the number of users still leveraging this type of a pointing device is quite small comparatively, but the ones that do can be very passionate. Believe it or not, there are some people that hoard them because they can sometimes be hard to find. Not to mention, some folks with handicaps depend on them too -- since you move the pointer with your thumb, it can be great for someone with limited wrist mobility. Heck, they are great for HTPC use too. Today, Logitech intends to… [Continue Reading]

  Huawei sells more smartphones than Apple

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 2:46pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  With a couple of notable exceptions, Apple consistently ranks as the second largest smartphone manufacturer based on sales. It's something that we've become accustomed to. No other vendor, except Samsung, has managed to beat it. Well, until now, that is. According to a new report from Counterpoint, Apple was overtaken by Huawei, which posted a very strong performance towards the second half of the year. "This is a significant milestone for Huawei, the largest Chinese smartphone brand with a growing global presence. It speaks volumes for this primarily network infrastructure vendor on how far it has grown in the consumer… [Continue Reading]

  New technology platform helps secure business devices

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 1:21pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Thanks to increased use of mobile and BYOD devices, there's a significant risk to business networks from un-managed and uncontrolled devices which could offer a route for security breaches. Israeli startup company Axonius is looking to solve this problem with a new platform designed to eliminate blind spots on the network and provide a single place to understand, manage and control the security of all end user, compute and IoT devices. The company has raised $4 million in seed funding to develop the platform which standardizes the interface for devices and incorporates existing standalone tools and controls. This allows Axonius to… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook offers millions to music industry to avert copyright crisis

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 12:19pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook is said to be offering hundreds of millions of dollars to music publishers and record labels to avoid having to take down user-generated videos that feature copyrighted music. Bloomberg cites "people familiar with the matter" as saying Facebook's payments will allow for the legal use of songs in uploaded videos. At the moment rights holders can tell Facebook to remove any videos that feature copyrighted music, and the social network is keen to create a frictionless experience for users if at all possible.

  Facebook Watch is now available right across the US

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 11:40am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook Watch may sound like it's going to be a cheap alternative to the Apple Watch, but it's really just Facebook's latest jump into video. Launched a month ago, Facebook Watch is now available to everyone in the US. The initial launch was a limited one, and just last week the rollout expanded to a wider group of users. But now everyone in the US is able to see the Watch tab on desktop and mobile platforms, giving access to original video content.

  FTC spanks Lenovo for bundling security-compromising adware on laptops

  Publié: septembre 6, 2017, 10:58am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Lenovo has settled with the Federal Trade Commission after selling laptops with VisualDiscovery adware pre-installed. The Superfish-developed adware was installed without users' consent and made machines vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. On top of this, the adware shared users' browsing data with third parties. As part of the settlement, Lenovo must gain explicit consent from users before engaging in similar tactics in the future, and must not misrepresent software that serves to inject ads into browsing sessions. The FTC did not, however, prohibit Lenovo from installing adware on its hardware, nor did it impose a financial penalty on the Chinese company.… [Continue Reading]
