Which Black Mirror technologies would you be willing to actually use?
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 8:42pm CET par Wayne Williams
Satirical Netflix anthology series Black Mirror (named after the reflection you see when staring at a phone with the screen off) presents a nightmarish vision of modern society and new technologies. In each standalone episode, writer Charlie Brooker focuses on near-future technological innovations, like an immersive dating app that tells you when your relationship will end, a synthetic replica of a deceased loved one, and a virtual reality world for dead people. If you’ve ever watched the show and thought, 'I’d use that!' about a particular piece of future tech, you’re not alone. YouGov surveyed over a thousand British adults… [Continue Reading] -
How to install Ubuntu Linux on a Chromebook: An official Canonical tutorial
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 8:18pm CET par Brian Fagioli
Chromebooks run Chrome OS, which is a very secure Linux distribution. While that operating system is very easy to use, it can sometimes be limited by a lack of software. You see, for the most part, these Chromebooks are designed to only run web apps. Thanks to emerging Android support, however, this is slowly changing. Still, a traditional desktop Linux distro can be much more useful. One of the most popular Linux-based desktop operating systems is Ubuntu, and today, its maker, Canonical, launches an official guide on how to get its OS running on a Chromebook. Since this tutorial is… [Continue Reading] -
Has your Gmail icon turned blue? Here's why, and how to change it back (if you want to)
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 6:09pm CET par Wayne Williams
I usually have at least two Gmail windows open in my browser. One for my BetaNews email, and one for my personal account. There’s never been an easy way of knowing which is which in a tab-filled browser without clicking on one of the tabs, but this has now changed. The icon on regular Gmail accounts is still red, but the icon for corporate Gmail accounts (G Suite), or Gmail with a custom domain, has turned blue. Whether this a permanent (and welcome) change, or just something Google is trialing I’m not sure, but enabling or disabling the blue icon… [Continue Reading] -
Why blockchain is the real star of the cryptocurrency boom
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 5:10pm CET par Monica Eaton-Cardone
Bitcoin remains one of the hottest financial topics of the last several years. The digital currency grew from less than $1,000 per coin at the start of 2017, to nearly $20,000 by the end of the year. The buzz around Bitcoin continues to grow despite high volatility -- including a 50 percent drop between December and January -- and condemnation from figures like Warren Buffet who call it a "fraud." But how is it being used? And most important, what value does it really hold as an investment? What’s Behind the Bitcoin Boom? Bitcoin is just one of hundreds of… [Continue Reading] -
Apricorn Aegis Bio 3.0: A simple, but super-secure biometric drive [Review]
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 4:21pm CET par Wayne Williams
If you want to keep your personal data safe and secure, then a hardware encrypted drive is your best bet. Secure drives, like the Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3z, require you to enter a PIN into the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. These also come with a variety of security measures to make sure they can’t be brute forced. If you prefer a different way of securing your data -- one that doesn’t require remembering a long PIN -- then you might prefer a biometric solution like the Aegis Bio 3.0. This a USB drive with a built-in finger… [Continue Reading] -
White House refutes claims it wants to build its own 5G network
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 3:58pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Documents that came to light recently suggested that the Trump administration was considering creating a government-controlled 5G network. It was an idea viewed in a dim light by the FCC, but now the White House has denied it has such plans. Despite the unearthing of a memo to the contrary, the US government insists there are no such plans under consideration.

Data professionals waste half their time on futile activities and repeated efforts
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 3:14pm CET par Ian Barker
Analytics and data science is having a major impact on the commercial world, but a new report shows that data professionals are wasting half of their time each week finding, protecting, or preparing data -- costing organizations significant amounts of money. The research commissioned by self-service analytics company Alteryx, and conducted by IDC, surveyed 400-plus individuals performing data functions across North America and Europe. It finds data analysts spend 60 percent of their time generating insights, but just 27 percent of that time is spent on actual analysis. The remainder is spent searching for and preparing data. These data workers… [Continue Reading] -
Privacy: Judges say the UK's Snooper's Charter is illegal
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 2:03pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Judges have ruled that the UK government's digital surveillance program -- known variously as the Snooper's Charter and the Investigatory Powers Act -- is illegal. In the case brought by human rights group Liberty, appeal judges found that the preceding Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (DRIPA) -- which ultimately became the Snooper's Charter -- failed to offer adequate protection to people's data. Of particular concern was the fact that private data could be shared between different agencies without sufficient oversight.

iPhone X is a best-selling smartphone
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 11:08am CET par Mihăiță Bamburic
The iPhone X was among the best-selling smartphones in major markets like Europe, Japan and US in December, according to a new report from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. Apple's flagship helped iOS gain market share in five major European markets. Kantar Worldpanel ComTech's report comes just after Nikkei claimed that iPhone X was selling bellow expectations. Nikkei based its analysis on supply figures from Apple's partners, which may not accurately reflect consumers' interest in the flagship. "The full results for the last quarter of the year show that Apple’s decision to release three new handsets over a staggered period, including the… [Continue Reading] -

Facebook's latest News Feed update gives local news a boost
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 10:45am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson
Facebook recently promised big changes to the way its News Feed works, and Mark Zuckerberg has now revealed that the social network will start to place a greater emphasis on local news. At least it makes a change from constantly banging on about fake news. It's part of the company's desire to increase civic engagement, with the Facebook CEO saying that there is a direct link between reading local news and people getting involved in helping out with local causes. The changes are coming to the US first and will then spread to the rest of the world. See also:… [Continue Reading] -
Samsung unveils high-performance 800GB SZ985 Z-SSD
Publié: janvier 30, 2018, 4:07am CET par Brian Fagioli
Solid state drives are all the rage nowadays, and it is not hard to see why. Not only are they much faster than traditional mechanical hard drives, but they consume much less electricity too. While power consumption might not be a big deal for home users, it can really add up in the enterprise where many drives are in use. In other words, a reduction in energy use can really benefit data centers and other business uses. Today, Samsung unveils a new high-performance SSD aimed at the enterprise. The "SZ985 Z-SSD," as it is called, uses special Z-NAND memory. The… [Continue Reading]
