  UK SMBs spend up to £3 million a year on technology upgrades

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 8:10pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  UK SMBs are shelling out huge amounts of money on upgrading their technology every year, potentially hindering investment elsewhere, new figures have claimed. A report from American Express and the Center for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) found that on average, SMBs spend roughly £200,000 each year on new technologies. Their spending has a range from £225,000 (micro-businesses with less than nine employees) to £3 million, for SMBs with 50+ employees. On average, about a fifth of the company’s expenditure goes on new technology. The biggest cut, roughly a quarter, goes on hiring new people. "Running a business can be an expensive… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 7:08pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  USB-C devices are coming thick and fast lately -- it feels like it is raining dongles and docks! While Apple's MacBook computers aren't the only devices with such ports, they certainly accelerated the popularity. Of course, there are both Windows and Linux machines with USB-C too.

Heck, one model even has an integrated 2.5-inch drive bay for an HDD or SSD! All three docking stations can charge/power a laptop too, with a max… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 6:30pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

Key among these new features is Ghost Mode which makes it easy to slip into anonymous web browsing mode whenever privacy is of the utmost importance. As the name of the browser implies, there is also an integrated ad-blocker, but it does not end there -- this is an update that the company has been working on for more than… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter proves better than the Dark Web for assessing vulnerability risk

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 5:53pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The latest report from risk management and cyber security company Nopsec looks at the use of social media in risk analysis. Twitter in particular seems to be becoming the go-to resource for security researchers and attackers looking to disseminate proof-of-concept exploits. While some vulnerabilities have thousands of Twitter interactions -- counted by tweets mentioning their CVE identifier -- most vulnerabilities are never tweeted about or are tweeted only once. The most tweeted CVEs reflect interactions focused on well-publicized, dangerous vulnerabilities. Trying to locate similar risk indicators on the Dark Web yields mixed results, partly because it only shows what is visible from… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 5:47pm CEST par Michael Moore

  When it comes to the logistics industry, DHL is doubtlessly one of the top names in the business, handling billions of items across the world every day. But in a rapidly connected and technology-enabled world, how is the company managing to stay relevant and on top of the latest customer trends?

  Get just about any media file on to your iPhone using WALTR

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 5:46pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  iTunes has to be the marmite of applications. Essential for getting content onto your iPhone, but frustratingly bloated and slow. Worse, iTunes is designed for the lazy user, making it super-easy to purchase your content directly from within the application. You can, of course, transfer your media files to iTunes, by simply dragging and dropping the content and iTunes will handle the artwork and upload your files. But only if they are of the supported format. If you’ve ripped your CDs in the FLAC format, you can’t get this onto iTunes unless you’ve converted the files elsewhere. If you have a… [Continue Reading]

  Your face has become a barcode without your consent

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 5:42pm CEST par Anna Johansson

  You’ve probably noticed that Facebook’s facial recognition technology is extremely accurate. You can upload a photo of friends and before you can identify everyone, Facebook has already made accurate tag suggestions for you. Facebook’s facial recognition technology is powered by a system called DeepFace, and uses machine learning, or, Artificial Intelligence, to increase its accuracy. Each time your face is tagged in a Facebook photo, the database collects even more identifying information about your face. DeepFace derives identities from a nine-layer deep neural network involving more than 120 million parameters with an accuracy of 97.35 percent. Because this technology identifies… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 5:38pm CEST par Michael Moore

  Cisco has revealed plans to majorly boost Wi-Fi connectivity and download speeds across the UK's rail network. The company has teamed up with a number of partners, including ScotRail, CGI, Network Rail Telecoms and Wittos to develop a new platform called Project SWIFT that it says can provide 'superfast' Wi-Fi on trains.

  Shutterstock Adobe Creative Cloud plugin gets video support, comes to Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and InDesign

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 4:43pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  When you need to use an image or video for a website, advertising campaign, or other project, you can't simply grab something from the web and use it. Well, you can, but that isn't a smart idea. Why? Someone else could own the image or video and bring legal action against you. Instead, you should use a reputable service where you can obtain properly licensed media. We here at BetaNews use a few such services, but Shutterstock is obviously one of our favorites -- we probably use it more than any other. The company even offers a cool plugin for Adobe Photoshop… [Continue Reading]

  'App mapping' gives enterprises improved visibility into systems

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 3:10pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The shift to containers and as-a-service delivery models introduces blind spots for many enterprises as they struggle to see the whole picture and can't determine the health of their apps and APIs. Netsil, a new startup, is launching an innovative solution to this problem in the form of its Application Operations Center (AOC), a universal observation and monitoring platform for modern cloud applications. It uses an 'app mapping' technique to allow DevOps teams to gain complete visibility into all their services and their dependencies, with no code changes required.

  Microsoft adds Confidential Compute to Azure cloud platform

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 1:26pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Microsoft has revealed a major new addition to its Azure cloud platform, aimed at keeping user data safe. The feature, called Confidential Compute, will make sure the data is being encrypted even when it’s being computed on in-memory. So far, it’s been encrypted while stored or while in transit on a network. Microsoft says this feature will make sure data stays away from prying eyes, including hackers, government warrants or even Microsoft itself. There will be two modes to the feature -- one built on virtual machines, and the other using Software Guard Extensions (SGX). Both allow apps to enclose parts… [Continue Reading]

  Avast opens up about CCleaner hack and outlines how it will protect users

  Publié: septembre 19, 2017, 11:43am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  When news broke yesterday that CCleaner had been hacked and a dangerously modified version had been available to download for a number of weeks, there were understandable concerns from the program's large userbase. And the concern is well-placed -- some 2.27 million machines are thought to have installed the infected software. Avast now has something of a PR nightmare on its hands as it tries to rebuild the trust of its users. To this end, company CEO Vince Steckler and CTO Ondřej Vlček have written an article clarifying what happened with CCleaner, and give some details about how they plan… [Continue Reading]

  People prefer to workout in different environments. There are those who prefer to push themselves in a competitive situation, with a group of individuals.

There’s a lot of cool new features in this OS update, including a design refresh, revamped Control Center, a Do Not Disturb driving mode, Siri improvements, and much more.

  The chances are that when you read that headline -- particularly if you're not a Gmail or Inbox user -- your reaction was something along the lines of "how is that not already a thing?" The update is a simple one, but one that will be welcomed by users. Just as URLs are automatically converted into clickable links, so the same luxury is to be lavished on addresses, phone numbers and contacts. Welcome to 2017.
