  Logitech launches 'Red Edition' of Spotlight Presentation Remote

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 9:39pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  If you work in an office, you have undoubtedly sat through a boring PowerPoint presentation. Yeah, it is easy to criticize the people doing the presenting for being deficient, but quite often, it isn’t their fault. After all, giving a successful presentation is a skill that must be learned. True, some folks are naturally social, but overall, you need to work on it. It is wrong to just thrust an employee into the fire without training. Practice aside, hardware can help you better present too. A good remote/wireless presenter can improve your presentations dramatically. Not only will it give you… [Continue Reading]

  FCC could repeal net neutrality rules in December

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 8:41pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  It is fair to say that many people want the net neutrality rules implemented during the Obama administration to stay in place. Even major tech companies support them. But not everyone feels the same -- just ask telecommunications companies what they think about it. The Trump administration is among the main opponents, with FCC Chairman Ajit Pai spearheading the efforts to repeal the rules. Today, the federal agency announces it's shared a draft, called Restoring Internet Freedom Order, that aims to do just that. In the statement released by the FCC, Pai says that while the framework set by former… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon is becoming the new Microsoft

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 5:15pm CET par Robert X. Cringely

  My last column was about the recent tipping point signifying that cloud computing is guaranteed to replace personal computing over the next three years. This column is about the slugfest to determine what company’s public cloud is most likely to prevail. I reckon it is Amazon’s and I’ll go further to claim that Amazon will shortly be the new Microsoft. What I mean by The New Microsoft is that Amazon is starting to act a lot like the old Microsoft of the 1990s. You remember -- the Bad Microsoft. Microsoft in the Bill Gates era was truly full of itself,… [Continue Reading]

  Kodi boxes: UK government explains why you MUST stop using them now

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 4:32pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Kodi boxes, and other so-called illicit streaming devices (ISDs), are the big-target for anti-piracy organizations at the moment. It’s a war being fought on many fronts. While bulling third-party add-on developers into retiring using legal threats is one of the most high-profile approaches, it’s far from the only tactic being used. Governments and anti-piracy organizations are also using heavy doses of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to persuade Kodi lovers to seek other -- legal -- methods for streaming content.

  Adwind remote access Trojan makes a comeback and it's got smarter

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 4:07pm CET par Ian Barker

  The Adwind cross-platform, malware-as-a-service Trojan has been around since 2012. Spread by phishing emails claiming to be invoices, purchase orders, and requests for quotations, it's aimed at high value targets like finance departments. While it never completely disappeared in recent years the number of attacks did die down. However, security awareness training company KnowBe4 has noted an upsurge in Adwind emails during October of this year. "In early October we noticed an uptick in the number of phishing emails reported by customers that were sporting .JAR (Java) attachments -- a hallmark of Adwind/AlienSpy," says Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4. "Occasional… [Continue Reading]

  CBS blocks its network from DISH subscribers

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 2:55pm CET par Alan Buckingham

  While many people opt for cable there are also a fair amount who go against that grain, subscribing to a satellite provider for various reasons -- maybe it's location, perhaps it's NFL Sunday Ticket. There are two major players in that market -- DirecTV and DISH. All sorts of problems can interrupt service, both to an entire system, or just certain provided networks. One of the biggest reasons for providers and customers alike is contract disputes. That's something we see all too often. The mess is generally sorted out, but it sometimes drags out for too long. The latest provider to suffer this problem is DISH, who has now been… [Continue Reading]

  Privacy: Use of session replay scripts means many websites essentially have built in keyloggers

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 2:03pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The idea that what you do online is not a secret is something that we have all -- just about -- come to terms with. That said, most people still expect a modicum of privacy, and they certainly don’t expect literally every keystroke they type to be logged by the websites they visit. But, say researchers at Princeton University, this is exactly what is happening. Hundreds of the most popular websites are using "session replay scripts" that record every single thing a visitor does. They are designed to monitor how visitors interact with a site to help gather information that… [Continue Reading]

  DoJ seeks to block Time Warner/AT&T merger

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 12:00pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit as it tries to block the acquisition of Time Warner by AT&T. The DoJ says that the merger would cause bills to rise and stifle choice for consumers. There is concern about the level of control such a merger would give the company over programming and distribution, but AT&T says that it will fight the lawsuit, saying that there is no reason for the merger to be blocked. If it was to go ahead, the merger would involve one of the largest transactions in US history -- $108 billion. But the lawsuit… [Continue Reading]

  How Black Friday conquered the UK

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 11:54am CET par Ian Barker

  There are various stories surrounding the origins of Black Friday, the most common being that it was the day retailers turned the corner from loss to profit and the figures in the ledger changed from red to black. Whatever its roots, Black Friday was a purely American phenomenon. That is until 2010 when Amazon first brought Black Friday deals on more than 500 products across to the UK. Since then it's caught on in a big way on that side of the pond. Loans company UK Credit has created an infographic charting the rise of Black Friday in the UK.… [Continue Reading]

  $31 million in tokens stolen from dollar-pegged cryptocurrency Tether

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 10:47am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  All eyes may be on the meteoric rise of Bitcoin at the moment, but it's far from being the only cryptocurrency on the block. Startup Tether issued a critical announcement after it was discovered that "malicious action by an external attacker" had led to the theft of nearly $31 million worth of tokens. Tether is a dollar-pegged cryptocurrency formerly known as Realcoin, and it says that $30,950,010 was stolen from a treasury wallet. The company says it is doing what it can to ensure exchanges do not process these tokens, including temporarily suspending its backend wallet service. Tether knows the… [Continue Reading]

  Alexa, help fight HIV/AIDS -- Amazon unveils Echo (2nd Generation) PRODUCT(RED) edition

  Publié: novembre 21, 2017, 12:52am CET par Brian Fagioli

  If you want to get a hardware voice assistant, you cannot go wrong with Echo. Amazon's hardware is great, but more importantly, its "Alexa" assistant is much more capable than any of its competitors. This can largely be attributed to developers -- there are countless "skills" and compatible devices that make the entire Alexa experience a joy. Still haven't bought an Echo? Well, I have some great news. Waiting sometimes has its benefits, and today, those still on the fence about Echo should definitely pull the trigger. You see, Amazon will be selling a special PRODUCT(RED) version of its second-gen Echo.… [Continue Reading]
