  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 4:19pm CET par Ian Barker

  While public cloud adoption continues to grow, organizations, especially in regulated industries like finance and health care, are continuing to use private clouds to quickly launch and update applications. To tap into this market IBM is launching a new Cloud Private software platform, designed to enable companies to create on-premises cloud capabilities similar to public clouds to accelerate app development. The new platform is built on open source Kubernetes-based container architecture and supports both Docker containers and Cloud Foundry. This allows integration and portability of workloads as they evolve to any cloud environment, including the public IBM Cloud. Features include… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 3:17pm CET par Ian Barker

  Misuse of spreadsheets costs European businesses €55 billion a year

  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 1:44pm CET par Ian Barker

  Spreadsheets like Excel were never designed to handle complex analytics and big data tasks, but a growing demand for data insights is leading many businesses to waste effort manually handling data in spreadsheets. A study commissioned by self-service analytics company Alteryx and carried out by IDC reveals that advanced spreadsheet users spend on average nine hours a week on repeat effort manually manipulating data, wasting €10,000 per year. Across Europe this represents, on average, two billion hours of duplicate work, costing an eye-watering €55bn per year (around $64bn). According to the findings there are 30 million advanced spreadsheet users worldwide,… [Continue Reading]

  Bitcoin breaks $6,600

  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 1:32pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Just moments ago I was reading about Bitcoin setting a new price record above $6,400. The main cryptocurrency has been incredibly strong, and resilient during crashes, so this latest development does not surprise me one iota. What also does not surprise me is that Bitcoin kept going after reaching the $6,400 mark, settling above $6,600 at the time of writing this article, based on an average from major exchanges like Bithumb (where it's actually gone past $6,700), Kraken, GDAX and Poloniex. Based on data from Coinmarketcap.com, Bitcoin is up around 6.5 percent today, which has boosted its market cap above… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 11:52am CET par Ian Barker

  As more and more applications move to the cloud there's an increasing assumption that it's the right approach for everyone. Indeed we've seen recently that many cloud investments are being made out of fear of missing out. But this one size fits all approach isn't necessarily the right one, and can put companies in a difficult position. We spoke to Michael Hiskey, Chief Strategy Officer from intelligent data management company Semarchy, to find out what businesses should consider before moving to the cloud and how they can avoid being forced down that route.

  Apple releases macOS 10.13.1 and iOS 11.1 to add new emoji and patch KRACK... for some

  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 11:23am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Apple has pushed out the latest updates to macOS High Sierra and iOS. macOS 10.13.1 and iOS 11.1 include a range of bug fixes, and also herald the arrival of a new batch of emoji. The two relatively minor updates also address the recently-discovered KRACK security vulnerability. But while the WPA2 patch will be welcomed by many people, it is not available for all iPhones and iPads, meaning that large numbers of people will be left exposed.

  Google announces Fast Pair to speed up Bluetooth pairing for Android

  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 9:46am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has announced Fast Pair, an update to Bluetooth connectivity that speeds up the process of connecting a Bluetooth device -- such as headphones -- to an Android phone or tablet. It's an idea that's not entirely dissimilar to the technology used by Apple to connect AirPods to iPhones. Using a combination of BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for advertising and discovery, and traditional Bluetooth for pairing, the focus is on speed and security. It's compatible with devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and above, and it's part of Google Play services 11.7+. While this sounds great in principle, the success of… [Continue Reading]

  A $20 Wi-Fi camera? Yup! WyzeCam makes affordable home security a reality

  Publié: novembre 1, 2017, 2:29am CET par Brian Fagioli

  I am a strong believer in home Wi-Fi security cameras. Being able to monitor my house while away is a godsend. Yeah, it is great for security purposes, but you know where else these products shine? Pets! Yeah, with one of these cameras, you can keep tabs on your dog, cat, bird, lizard -- whatever. If you are at work and want to check in on your pup or kitty, just launch an app and there they are. Unfortunately, these cameras can be expensive and difficult to set up. But, what if they weren't? What if there was a Wi-Fi… [Continue Reading]
