  Subscriptions with automated recurring billing come to Windows 10

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 9:22pm CET par Wayne Williams

  The number of decent apps available in the Microsoft Store pales in comparison to those in the Apple App Store and Google Play. Big names drop out almost as quickly as new ones arrive, which doesn’t help. In yet another bid to woo developers to the platform, Microsoft is introducing subscription add-ons for Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, and later. Available to all UWP developers, the add-on subscriptions with automated recurring billing will allow creators to sell digital products directly in their apps. Subscription periods available include 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or 2 years, and it's possible… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 8:51pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Nowadays, consumers have multiple devices that need to be charged -- smartphones, tablets, wearables, and more. This can be a pain point, as it can be hard to find multiple outlets. To make matters worse, if your family members and/or friends also need to charge their devices at the same time, it can lead to fighting and disappointment. Having this issue while traveling is even worse -- getting an open outlet at the airport, for instance, can be a hardship. Today, Satechi launches a solution for these charging woes. Its new multiport charger offers 75 total watts to keep your… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 8.1 enters extended support: What can you expect?

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 7:32pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Microsoft has ended mainstream support for Windows 8.1, more than five years after its debut. The operating system, which was offered as a free upgrade to Windows 8 users, has moved to the extended support phase, in which it will continue to receive updates, albeit in a more limited fashion. During mainstream support, which ended January 9, Microsoft provided security and non-security updates and accepted requests for product changes. Extended support means that the average Windows 8.1 user will only receive security updates. Microsoft says that it is possible to receive non-security updates as well, but that only applies to… [Continue Reading]

  Apple to pay £136 million in back taxes after UK audit

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 5:43pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) has completed an "extensive audit" of Apple, and accounts show that the company has been hit with a £136 million ($184 million) back tax bill. There has been a great deal of interest in the tax arrangement of technology companies in the past couple of years, and the recent Paradise Papers revealed how Apple was structuring its finances. The latest payment in the UK comes after Apple agreed to settle a $15 billion bill in Ireland, and the company says its UK tax bill payments will increase in coming years.

  Paint.NET unveils Dark Theme support in Windows 10, implements High DPI improvements

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 3:31pm CET par Nick Peers

  dotPDN LLC has unveiled Paint.NET 4.0.20, the latest version of its popular -- and powerful -- free image editor for Windows PCs. Version 4.0.20 introduces Dark Theme support, so the app interface switches to match Windows’ own Dark Theme when evoked. The update also offers vastly improved support on High DPI displays, adds Explorer thumbnails for TGA and DDS image types and includes a host of bug fixes and minor improvements. Paint.NET already offers a dark skin via its own Settings > User Interface dialog, but Dark Theme support means that when its own color scheme is left set as… [Continue Reading]

  Cisco solution prevents malware from hiding in encrypted traffic

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 3:24pm CET par Ian Barker

  As businesses increasingly turn to cloud solutions they rely more on encryption to protect their data. Gartner predicts by 2019, 80 percent of web traffic will be encrypted, but that leads to a problem as it can allow malware to travel undetected. Detecting malicious content in encrypted traffic is difficult without decrypting it, forcing network operators to choose between privacy and security. A new solution from network specialist Cisco solves this conundrum by allowing traffic to be scanned without decrypting it. Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) has been in early field trials with customers around the world since June last year and… [Continue Reading]

  Security and business continuity top IT spending plans for 2018

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 12:39pm CET par Ian Barker

  Security is the top initiative companies plan to pursue in the next 24 months with investments in virus and malware protection, patch management, and intrusion detection and prevention. According to a new State of Resilience report by big data company Syncsort, 49 percent plan to spend on these areas, with 47 percent planning to spend on business continuity and high availability. The report also finds that while almost two-thirds of companies perform security audits on their systems, the most common schedule is annual (39 percent). Another 10 percent conduct audits only every two years or more, which, given an ever-changing… [Continue Reading]

  Apple to introduce enhanced parental controls to counter iPhone addiction in children

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 11:39am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Following accusations that children are addicted to iPhones, Apple has said that it will introduce improved parental controls in iOS. At the weekend, an open letter from a group of investors expressed concern about the overuse of Apple devices by children and teenagers. Responding to the letter, Apple says that while it considers itself a leader when it comes to parental controls, it will make the feature even "more robust" in the future.

  Microsoft and Intel reveal just how much Meltdown and Spectre patches slow PCs

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 10:30am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The Meltdown and Spectre revelations have people around the world concerned about privacy, but there has also been great speculation about the reduction in performance that patches might bring. Now Microsoft and Intel have opened up about the sort of slowdown PC users and server operators can expect. Having previously tried to play down the negative impact that bug patches will have on systems, Intel's benchmark test now shows that -- depending on the tasks -- a slowdown of between 2 and 14 percent can be observed. Microsoft says that anyone with a computer dating from 2015 and earlier will… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 2:46am CET par Brian Fagioli

  With everything going on in the world these days, it can feel like you are naked when using your computer. If you previously felt safe and secure, these last several years have probably eroded all of your confidence. Between Edward Snowden's revelations and the many vulnerabilities constantly hitting the news, it is tempting to just live in the woods without electricity. Before you sell your house, buy a tent, and become a nomad, you should consider a Linux distribution that helps you fight back against evil governments, nefarious hackers, and other bad people. Called "Tails," this Linux-based operating system is… [Continue Reading]

  Huawei Mate 10 Pro flagship Android smartphone finally coming to USA

  Publié: janvier 10, 2018, 1:50am CET par Brian Fagioli

  When you think of elegant computers and devices, your mind probably goes to Apple, and rightfully so. After all, the iPhone-maker has long pioneered the concept of technology being more than just function. With Apple, exterior design is equally as important as the internals. The first iMac, for instance, showed that a computer could be more than a beige tower. Nowadays, there are many other companies that focus on external beauty, but one in particular really shines in this regard -- Huawei. That manufacturer sells elegant phones, tablets, computers, and more. Its previously announced Mate 10 Pro had many people… [Continue Reading]
