  Motorola Solutions reveals its vision for smart policing

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 8:46pm CEST par Michael Moore

  With many major cities facing a growing number of security threats, both physical and digital, the need for police forces to be smarter and more connected is greater than ever. Many of the UK’s top forces have been working with Motorola Solutions, which provides a range of devices and services to officers on the beat as well as their command centres. The company has today unveiled a new "Innovation Center" in London which it hopes will spur on future technological development to allow police officers to cope with an ever-growing number of threats without drowning in the information deluge created by modern IT… [Continue Reading]

  OnePlus will update core apps through Google Play

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 6:52pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  A few years ago, the only way you could get updates for core apps on your Android device was through operating system updates. Then, manufacturers realized that it would be much easier -- for everyone involved -- to have new versions distributed through Google Play or their own app store. OnePlus has reached the same conclusion, and today it announces that updates for Community, Gallery, Launcher and Weather will be rolled out through Google Play, in what is referred to as "Individual Application Update." "It's a small step forward towards the maturation of OxygenOS as a ROM, but we're excited for the increased capabilities this… [Continue Reading]

  Adblock Plus releases cryptocurrency miner hijack protection filter

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 6:44pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Cryptocurrencies have been in the news a lot recently as the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum bounces up and down. But cryptocurrency miners have also been in the headlines after it was discovered that the Pirate Bay had secretly embedded a miner in its code, and then that the SafeBrowse extension for Chrome was also mining in the background. To help protect users who do not want their computers to be used for such things without their permission and who don't want to give up CPU cycles to generate profit for others, Adblock Plus has released a filter that will… [Continue Reading]

  OWC releases USB-C Travel Dock for MacBook and Windows 10 laptops

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 6:38pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I recently reviewed the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock for Apple MacBook Pro and came away very impressed. This device essentially converts your Apple laptop into a desktop with great results. The problem? It needs to be plugged into a wall for power, and it is not intended to be taken on the go. Today, OWC announces a product that is meant to be taken with you in your laptop bag. Called "USB-C Travel Dock," it features many of the ports you may need, such as HDMI, USB Type-A, and an SD card reader. It even has a USB-C port for power pass-through, so… [Continue Reading]

  Cloud migration is more difficult than cloud adoption

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 6:00pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Adopting the cloud is one thing, but migrating to it is a much harder task according to a new report. The study by cloud company Virtustream and research firm Forrester reveals that moving to the cloud is often an application-by-application process, and only 32 percent of those surveyed rely on a single cloud vendor for migration, signaling a preference for multi-cloud. Despite the difficulties, migration of apps to the cloud continues to grow. On average, organizations engaged in active cloud projects today have migrated 44 percent of their apps, and by 2019, this figure is expected to reach 62 percent.… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 5:48pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Security researchers from Adguard have issued a warning that the popular GO Keyboard app is spying on users. Produced by Chinese developers GOMO Dev Team, GO Keyboard was found to be transmitting personal information about users back to remote servers, as well as "using a prohibited technique to download dangerous executable code." Adguard made the discovery while conducting research into the traffic consumption and unwanted behavior of various Android keyboards. The AdGuard for Android app makes it possible to see exactly what traffic an app is generating, and it showed that GO Keyboard was making worrying connections, making use of… [Continue Reading]

  Cyber Monday is the new Black Friday

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 3:42pm CEST par Ian Barker

  New research shows that as we move towards the holiday season, shoppers are more excited about the prospect of Cyber Monday than that of Black Friday. A study by retail analytics company Euclid finds that Cyber Monday leads the way in consumer excitement (72 percent) followed by Black Friday and the day after Christmas (62 percent and 55 percent, respectively). The findings also show that eCommerce continues to build momentum, but also that physical stores maintain a key role in the buying process. In fact, 75 percent of consumers aged 18 to 34 visit a store on a regular basis… [Continue Reading]

  New tool offers developers cross-platform cloud access

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 2:59pm CEST par Ian Barker

  As businesses turn to the cloud they often find themselves adopting multiple different platforms to solve specific problems. This creates a problem for developers who need to deal with multiple tools and systems. Developer services start-up Manifold is aiming to ease this issue with the launch of a new cross-platform tool. The Manifold system allows developers to easily find, buy, and manage their favorite services -- from email to logging -- without being locked into a single cloud platform. Using Manifold, developers are no longer restricted by the confines of any particular cloud, allowing them to create stacks tailored specifically for their project… [Continue Reading]

  WhatsApp refused to add a backdoor for the UK government

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 2:16pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The UK government has made no secret of its dislike of encrypted messaging tools, and it has made frequent reference to the problems WhatsApp causes it with regard to investigations into terrorism. Calls have been made by the government to force companies to allow access to encrypted content when asked. In the wake of Theresa May's "more needs to be done about extremist content" speech, it has emerged that WhatsApp refused to add a backdoor that would allow the government and law enforcement agencies to access private conversations.

  PC prices in the UK rise by 30 percent on account of Brexit

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 2:06pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  PC prices in UK have increased by 30 percent since the Brexit announcement this year, according to distributor data. Channel analyst Context has revealed that the average sale prices for computers including desktops, notebooks and workstations reached £480 in July and August, which is up by a third when compared to the same time last year. A number of other factors such as memory shortages, decreased sales to lower-margin retailers and a shift towards machines with increased specifications may have also played a role in the jump in UK PC prices. Context senior analyst, Marie-Christine Pygott noted that these factors could have… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft joins the Coalition for Better Ads

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 1:03pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Microsoft has become the latest member of the Coalition for Better Ads (CBA). The group works with technology companies and trade organizations to help develop an ad ecosystem that works for advertisers without compromising the experience of internet users. In taking up membership of the CBA, Microsoft is joining Google who has already worked with the organization to develop a selective ad blocker for Chrome due for release next year. Microsoft is also looking to introduce ad blocking into Edge, but the blocker would only discriminate against ads deemed unacceptable by the CBA.

  SafeBrowse Chrome extension found to be secretly mining for cryptocurrency

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 12:18pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Recently it was discovered that the Pirate Bay had embedded a JavaScript cryptocurrency miner into the footer of its homepage, and now a popular Chrome extension has been found engaging in similar activity. The SafeBrowse extension purports to block popup ads and skip ad pages that appear before downloads, but in fact it was secretly running a Coin Hive mining tool in the background. With over 140,000 users, SafeBrowse -- which has now been removed from the Chrome Web Store -- was quietly making an income for its developers through clandestine use of CPU time.

  Retail SMBs are vulnerable to security hacks

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 12:16pm CEST par Kevin Pollack

  Small retailers face a host of challenges on a daily basis -- from staying digitally relevant while maintaining a "human touch," to retaining a loyal customer base as they grow and expand. Unfortunately, information security often slips under the radar. This is troubling as the 2016 Trustwave Global Security Report found the retail industry accounted for the highest number of data breach incidents globally. What’s more, Shred-it’s 2017 Security Tracker shows that one-third of US small businesses (SMBs) that suffer a data breach, need up to three years to recover. The fact is, data breaches are an unavoidable reality for… [Continue Reading]

  iOS 11 could let you secretly record Snapchat snaps

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 11:22am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  If you're a Snapchat user, you'll know that it's possible to save someone's snaps forever by grabbing a screenshot of it. The problem is, this goes against the idea of Snapchat which is supposed to be about temporary, transient posts; that said, it's not against the rules. One of the new features of iOS 11 is a screen recording tool that makes it possible to save a video of what's going on on-screen. This can be used to make a recording of snaps, and it seems that a warning notification is not always sent out to the other party. See… [Continue Reading]

  Warning: Toggles in the iOS 11 Control Center don't let you turn off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 10:49am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The aesthetics of the new Control Center in iOS 11 has been the source of amusement, debate and disgust in varying measures. But putting the look to one side for a moment, people upgrading to iOS 11 have been disappointed to discover that the toggles for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the Control Center don't actually turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. For reasons best known to Apple, the toggles disconnect from wireless networks and Bluetooth devices, but the two radios will remain enabled. While the change of functionality is covered in Apple's support documentation, it's not something that is obvious to… [Continue Reading]

  Design and virtually furnish a room using IKEA Place

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 10:41am CEST par Chris Wiles

  Do you wince when your partner suggests you head to IKEA on a Sunday morning? Everyone seems to have decided that IKEA is their goto store for furnishing a room and it can be bedlam at a weekend. And that’s if you can get into the car park. Luckily Apple has made the task a lot easier by adding augmented reality to iOS 11. Simply put, the new feature enables a person to move around objects within a virtual environment. As a result, IKEA has released Place, which is an iOS app which will take your room and enable you to… [Continue Reading]

  Google showed ads on YouTube Red even though it's supposed to be ad-free

  Publié: septembre 21, 2017, 10:24am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  One of the perks -- arguably the main perk -- of paying for YouTube Red is that your subscription fee gives you an ad-free experience. At least that's the idea... Google has now admitted that it was in fact running ads on its premium video service despite promising not to. This was not a change of heart or policy, however; the search giant is putting it down to an "underlying issue" which it is working to fix. In addressing the issue with users, though, it seems Google also failed to understand its own policies. A thread started up on Reddit… [Continue Reading]
