  Keep on top of your wardrobe using these three apps

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 10:07pm CET par Alex Eckardt

  For the fashion conscious, the change in seasons usually follows a change in wardrobe and when it comes to upgrading a wardrobe, everyone has different requirements. But, there are people who avoid retail at all costs, shopping on the internet and ordering everything to their home. You can go one step further as many high street retails have sophisticated apps which make online clothes shopping a pleasant experience. We’ve picked three of the best. One shopping powerhouse is ASOS (As Seen On Screen) which has been operating online since 2000. With their app, ASOS has brought their huge range to… [Continue Reading]

  This is your last chance to get Windows 10 for free

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 9:15pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Although Microsoft officially ended the free Windows 10 upgrade offer last year, it is still possible to get the new operating system completely free of charge by using a simple trick. The software giant provides Windows 10 for free to anyone using assistive technologies, and doesn’t require you to prove you have any kind of disability in order to make use of this upgrade offer. However, all good things must come to an end, and Microsoft is set to close this free upgrade route on December 31, 2017.

  ADATA launches UV230 and UV330 retractable USB flash drives

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 3:07pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  USB flash drives are becoming less popular thanks to the cloud. If you need to access a file on the go, using a cloud-based storage service like Dropbox is extremely convenient. Unlike a flash drive, you don’t have to worry about losing it. These diminutive drives definitely still have a place, though. For instance, I use them regularly for installing Linux distributions and Windows 10. Not to mention, they are wonderful when an internet connection is not available. Today, ADATA unveils two new models. Both use USB Type-A for connectivity, but one uses USB 3.1, while the other uses the… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook to use facial recognition to notify users when photos of them are uploaded

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 1:10pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A new feature touted as a privacy tool sees Facebook automatically identifying users in photographs that are uploaded. It uses the same technology already employed to make image tagging suggestions. The social networking giant is using facial recognition to alert people when someone uploads a photo of them, regardless of whether they have been tagged in the image. For the feature to work, Facebook users will have to agree to the company keeping a record of them in a facial database.

  John McAfee and the strange Twitter hack

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 12:45pm CET par Ian Barker

  In a cautionary tale for the festive season, unorthodox security guru John McAfee claims to have had his Twitter account hacked. The account sent out a number of 'coin of the day' Tweets on December 27th encouraging followers to buy some lesser known crypto currencies. Nothing especially strange in that as McAfee has himself sent this type of message in the past. However, the messages were swiftly followed by a tweet from McAfee saying the account had been hacked and the messages were fake. Urgent: My account was hacked. Twitter has been notified. The coin of the day tweet was… [Continue Reading]

  Unofficial Kodi add-on provider TVAddons set to 'change how people access streaming media forever'

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 12:14pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Six years ago, web developer umOuch launched XBMC HUB, the first add-on community for the XBox Media Center (Kodi's original name). It provided an easy way to find and install unofficial add-ons, and later evolved into TVAddons, branching out into new areas in the process. In 2016, TVAddons even created its own fork of Kodi, called FreeTelly.

  Kodi comes full circle, now available for Xbox One

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 11:27am CET par Wayne Williams

  Kodi started life as XBMC (XBox Media Center) and was designed to run on Microsoft's original Xbox. The software has since then enjoyed a meteoric -- and somewhat controversial -- rise, and is now available for most platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, and Linux. One platform it was missing from was the latest generation of Microsoft's console, the Xbox One, but that oversight has finally been corrected. You can, from today, install Kodi on both that console and the Xbox One S. Although there is a catch. SEE ALSO: Kodi warns users to update their software and addons for safer… [Continue Reading]

  Edward Snowden's Haven app turns a smartphone into a security device

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 7:53am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The name Edward Snowden will always be associated with the NSA, but the man has fingers in many other pies. His latest venture is an app called Haven which can turn a smartphone into a security device that keeps an eye on your possessions. Haven is an Android app, currently in beta, designed to be installed on an "extra" phone that you wouldn't mind losing. Placed with your belongings, it uses a phone's sensors -- microphone, camera, gyroscope, accelerometer, and so on -- to detect and record theft and tampering. The app is a joint venture between Snowden's Freedom of… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter kills anti-Nazi bot Imposter Buster that tried to expose racists

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 7:26am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  A Twitter account designed to alert users about racist accounts has been shut down by Twitter. Imposter Buster was a bot created by journalist Yair Rosenberg in an attempt to expose racism on the platform. But while many people welcomed the activities of Imposter Buster -- which would automatically join in the conversations of high-profile racist users in an attempt to expose their trolling of ethnic minority users -- Twitter saw things differently and slapped the bot with a permanent ban. In an opinion piece for the New York Times, Rosenberg explains that the bot he created was designed to… [Continue Reading]

  Kodi 18 'Leia' 64-bit for Windows is finally ready to replace the 32-bit version

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 2:43am CET par Brian Fagioli

  There is a lot of software in the world, and much of it is terrible. It is rare that a truly great program comes along that actually disrupts things. When that software is open source, it is even more remarkable. That is why Kodi is such an impressive program. The open source project has impacted the way much of the world consumes music, movies, TV and more -- both legitimately obtained media and pirated content. Earlier this year, we shared with you that a pre-release version of Kodi 18 "Leia" 64-bit for Windows was available. There was a big catch,… [Continue Reading]

  Apple apologizes for slowing down iPhones, but we should actually be thanking them for doing it!

  Publié: décembre 29, 2017, 1:24am CET par Brian Fagioli

  iOS is the best mobile operating system on the planet. End of story. Android is a solid choice too, but fragmentation and a lack of device updates makes it a non-starter for many. Pixel and Nexus devices aside, many users of Google's operating system get stranded on phones and tablets with known exploits. It is a mess. I say all of this to highlight how great a job Apple does with supporting older devices. The company could easily stop issuing OS updates to a device after a couple of years, but instead, it chooses to reward its customers with very… [Continue Reading]
