  Windows Phone already sucks, but Microsoft is making it even worse by killing notifications

  Publié: février 19, 2018, 8:40pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Windows Phone can be chalked up as yet another failure for Microsoft. Consumers hated it, and as a result, developers avoided it. It joins other disastrous Microsoft projects like Windows RT, Kin, and Zune in the graveyard. If you are still clinging to a device running Windows Phone 7.5 or 8.0, I feel sorry for you. Your phone is already terrible, but on February 20, it will get even worse. You see, Microsoft is killing push notification services. Unfortunately, on the aforementioned date, your phone will no longer receive notifications -- a huge inconvenience. This also means those silly live… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 on ARM: Here's what you'll be missing

  Publié: février 19, 2018, 4:46pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Windows 10 on ARM is a very interesting proposition for road warriors. You get the benefits of a full-featured operating system in a package that rivals the battery life and connectivity options of a mobile device. What's not to like? While on paper it may sound like it offers the best of both worlds, Windows 10 on ARM is not perfect -- at least not yet -- as Microsoft's own documentation raises some serious questions surrounding its usability and compatibility. The problems stem from the use of the ARM architecture, which is different to the x86 platform the standard versions… [Continue Reading]

  iPhone beaten in performance race by 1970's Apple II and other even older computers (and a mechanical calculator)

  Publié: février 19, 2018, 4:05pm CET par Wayne Williams

  It’s a fact that today’s mobile phones boast way more computing power than the systems used by NASA to put a man on the moon in the 1960s. The iPhone 6, released in 2014, is 32,600 times quicker than the speediest Apollo-era computers and capable of performing instructions a whopping 120,000,000 times faster. So in a race against seven computers from the past 75 years, you’d imagine the iPhone 6 would wipe the floor with an Apple II from 1977, a 1990s PC running Windows 98, and a £12.99 BBC Micro:Bit, right? Wrong. The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley… [Continue Reading]

  Europe threatens Facebook with fines for tracking users and non-users online

  Publié: février 19, 2018, 2:53pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Just last week Facebook was hit with the news that its privacy settings -- as well as the way the company uses personal data -- are illegal in Germany. Now the social network has been threatened with fines for tracking people through third-party websites. The tracking affects even people who do not have a Facebook account, and this is something that a Belgian court took exception to. Belgium's privacy watchdog also told Facebook to delete data that had been illegally collected about Belgian citizens.

  Prediction #7 -- 2018 will see the first Alexa virus

  Publié: février 19, 2018, 2:08pm CET par Robert X. Cringely

  There’s a new Marvel superhero series on Fox called The Gifted that this week inspired my son Fallon, age 11, to predict the first Alexa virus, coming soon to an Amazon Echo, Echo Dot or Echo Show cloud device near you. Or maybe it will be a Google Home virus. Fallon’s point is that such a contagion is coming and there probably isn’t much any of us -- including both Amazon and Google -- can do to stop it. The Gifted has characters from Marvel’s X-Men universe. They are the usual mutants but the novel twist in this series is that… [Continue Reading]

  Freely accessible Wikipedia Zero is no more

  Publié: février 19, 2018, 12:35pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The Wikimedia Foundation is to kill off Wikipedia Zero this year. The zero-rated version of the online encyclopaedia was launched six years ago with the aim of providing free access to mobile users in numerous countries, but there has been a significant drop in demand. The foundation has partnered with dozens of mobile operators around the world to provide free access to Wikipedia. Among the reasons for shutting down the program is "low awareness of Wikipedia outside of North America and Europe."

  Microsoft Edge vulnerability exposed as Microsoft misses Google's Project Zero disclosure deadline

  Publié: février 19, 2018, 11:11am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has revealed details of a security vulnerability in Microsoft Edge before a patch has been produced. Through Project Zero, Google notified Microsoft about a bug in the browser's Arbitrary Code Guard (ACG) feature back in November, giving the company the usual 90-day disclosure deadline. Google went further, granting Microsoft a further grace period of two weeks on request, but the vulnerability remains unfixed in Windows 10. As such, details of the "ACG bypass using UnmapViewOfFile" bug have now been made public.
