Prediction #3 -- 2018 foreign profit repatriation is a $591.8 BILLION taxpayer ripoff
Publié: janvier 20, 2018, 10:33pm CET par Robert X. Cringely
When I started this series of 2018 predictions I said the recently passed U.S. tax law was going to have a profound impact on upcoming events. Having had a chance to look closer at the issue I am even more convinced that this seismic financial event is, as I wrote above, a $591.8 billion taxpayer ripoff. This is not to say there aren’t some possible public benefits from the repatriation, but it’s fairly clear that the public loses more than it will ever gain. In case you don’t follow these things, multinational U.S. companies have, since 2005, squirreled away about… [Continue Reading] -
KaOS 2018.01 KDE-focused Linux distro now available with Spectre and Meltdown fixes
Publié: janvier 20, 2018, 8:55pm CET par Brian Fagioli
It can be difficult to find a quality Linux distribution that meets your needs. This is partly because there are just too many operating systems from which to choose. My suggestion is to first find a desktop environment that you prefer, and then narrow down your distro search to one that focuses on that DE. For instance, if you like KDE, both Kubuntu and Netrunner are solid choices. With all of that said, there is another KDE-focused Linux distro that I highly recommend. Called "KaOS," it is a rolling release, meaning you can always be confident that your computer is… [Continue Reading] -
OnePlus admits that up to 40,000 accounts were affected by a credit card breach
Publié: janvier 20, 2018, 5:05pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Last week it emerged that OnePlus was conducting an investigation after a number of customers complained about fraudulent credit card charges. Now the company has given an update on the matter, saying that its website was attacked and a malicious script stealing credit card details was injected, affecting up to 40,000 people. The company has issued an apology for the incident and says that it has contacted those it feels may have been directly affected. In a statement, OnePlus explains that over a two-month period, customers who entered their credit card details at oneplus.net may be at risk. See also:… [Continue Reading] -
Amazon hikes monthly Prime fee by 18 percent
Publié: janvier 20, 2018, 4:33pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Amazon has just given people another reason to pay for their Prime subscriptions on an annual rather than a monthly basis. The company has increased the cost of a monthly subscription by $2 per month. This is the first rise in Amazon Prime subscription pricing for a few years now, and the fact that the annual fee remains unchanged is a clear indication that Amazon is eager to lock customers into year-long packages.

Facebook to fight 'sensationalism, misinformation and polarization' with news trustworthiness surveys for users
Publié: janvier 20, 2018, 12:37pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Facebook has said time and time again that it will do more to fight the problem of fake news on the social network, and the company's latest idea is to simply ask users which news sources they know and trust. In a post on his own Facebook page, Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook will start to "ask people whether they're familiar with a news source and, if so, whether they trust that source." Seemingly blind to the idea that this could be open to abuse and manipulation, he says that this will shift the balance of the news that is… [Continue Reading] -
Twitter admits that 670,000 people interacted with Russian propaganda bots during US election
Publié: janvier 20, 2018, 11:38am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Twitter has revealed that a total of 677,775 Americans followed accounts or liked tweets associated with Russian propaganda groups during the 2016 US election. The company does not reveal how many people saw the tweets posted by these accounts. That Russia tried to use Twitter -- and other social networks -- to influence the outcome of the US election is hardly news, but there has been an ongoing investigation trying to determine the scale of the operation. In its latest announcement, Twitter also says that it closed 50,258 accounts with links to Russia. See also: Facebook is developing a tool… [Continue Reading] -
Italy launches investigation into Samsung and Apple for slowing down phones
Publié: janvier 20, 2018, 11:05am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Just a couple of weeks ago a French watchdog announced that it was investigating Apple about the "planned obsolescence" of iPhones. Now Italy is also looking into both Apple and Samsung after complaints that the companies are purposefully slowing down older phone models. Apple has already admitted and defended the fact that it slows down older iPhones, saying that it is done to ensure the best performance from aging batteries -- later saying that an upcoming update will make the slowdown optional. In Italy, both Apple and Samsung stand accused of reducing handset performance to "induce consumers to buy new… [Continue Reading]
