  Should Amazon create its own cryptocurrency and banking products?

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 9:47pm CET par Wayne Williams

  Amazon is a company that isn’t afraid to take risks, and try new things. Some of its ideas -- like the Echo -- paid off handsomely, while other gambles, like the Amazon Fire Phone, failed miserably. Amazon is also happy to splash the cash to expand its reach, buying Whole Foods in 2017, and Ring this week. But where can Amazon go next? LendEDU ran a poll of 1,000 American consumers who had purchased something from Amazon in the last 30 days, and asked them whether they’d be interested in using an Amazon-created cryptocurrency for purchases, or banking with the… [Continue Reading]

  Oath becomes a Linux Foundation Gold Member

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 9:47pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  With the Linux community being rather fragmented, it’s nice to know there are some organizations that aim to unify it. The Linux Foundation is one such group that has done a lot of good for the overall community. It does a great job of bringing companies -- such as Microsoft, Samsung, and AMD, to name a few -- into the Linux fold as official foundation members. When a company becomes a Linux Foundation member, there are different tiers that can be chosen, such as Platinum, Gold, and Silver. These levels carry different annual fees. Today, The Linux Foundation announces the… [Continue Reading]

  BleachBit 2.0 adds drag-and-drop file shredding to open-source disk cleaning tool

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 5:57pm CET par Nick Peers

  Open-source cleaning tool BleachBit 2.0 has been released for Windows and Linux, along with BleachBit 2.0 Portable for Windows. The update -- the first in over two years -- introduces support for dragging and dropping files on to the program window in order to shred them using BleachBit’s disk-wiping tools. In our tests, the feature only worked after we’d first deleted a file using the 'Shred with BleachBit' option that appears when you right-click a file or folder. When this had worked once, we could then drag and drop other files into the window to delete them. This seems to… [Continue Reading]

  Over half of enterprises willing to sacrifice security for speed

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 4:36pm CET par Ian Barker

  A new survey reveals that 52 percent of companies admit to cutting back on security measures to meet a business deadline or objective. The report into SecOps (Security Operations) from intrusion detection company Threat Stack also reveals that 68 percent of companies say their CEO demands that DevOps and security teams don’t do anything that slows the business down. This pressure comes from lower down the business pyramid too, with 62 percent of companies also admitting their operations team pushes back when asked to deploy security technology. "Businesses have grappled with the 'Speed or Security' problem for years but the… [Continue Reading]

  The ASUS ZenFone 5 is trying to be a cheap iPhone X

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 4:21pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  There have been lots of devices revealed at MWC 2018 this week, and it is little surprise that there are handsets copying the look of Apple's iPhone X. In this number are the ASUS ZenFone 5 and ZenFone 5Z, both of which feature a controversial "notch" at the top of their screens. It is clear the look of the latest ZenFones have been inspired by the iPhone X, and it's hard to imagine that Apple's lawyers are not considering allegations of plagiarism. In all, there are three phones in the family: the high-end ZenFone 5Z, the mid-range ZenFone 5, and… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 3:56pm CET par Ian Barker

Security awareness training company KnowBe4 has released its 2018 Threat Impact and Endpoint Protection Report which shows organizations in manufacturing, technology and consumer-focused industries experienced the most ransomware attacks. On average, 16 workstations, 5 servers and 22 users within an organization were affected in any given attack with an average downtime of 14 hours. The organizations suffering the most downtime hours were again mid-market and enterprise (5000+ employees) organizations. The more… [Continue Reading]

  You'll be able to disable and hide Firefox Sync in Firefox 60

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 2:17pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  For some people, Firefox Sync is a great way to synchronize browser settings, add-ons, bookmarks and so on between computers. For others it's a privacy nightmare and a massive annoyance. Starting with Firefox 60, Mozilla is making it possible to not only disable the feature, but also hide it. This might seem like a minor change, but for anyone irritated by the mere presence of Firefox sync, it's something that should have happened sooner.

  The rapid growth of digital data

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 11:26am CET par Ian Barker

  The volume of digital information in the world is growing at a scarily fast rate. In fact 90 percent of the digital data that exists worldwide today was created within the last two years -- and 2.5 quintillion bytes of extra data are created each and every day. We browse websites, stream music and video, and post on social media all of which contributes to this deluge. But how did data get to be such a key part of modern life? Digital asset management specialist MerlinOne has created an infographic looking at the history of digital content from its inception… [Continue Reading]

  Amazon buys smart doorbell and home security firm Ring for over $1 billion

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 11:03am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Amazon has opened up its wallet and splashed more than $1 billion on buying Ring. Famed for its selection of smart doorbells, security cameras and other security devices, the purchase of the Santa Monica, California firm is Amazon's latest foray into home security. While details of the deal are currently a little thin on the ground, it is expected that the Ring name will live on, and it is likely that future products released under the brand will feature Alexa smart assistant integration.

  Logitech Craft keyboard gets new features, more supported apps, and GitHub-hosted SDK

  Publié: février 28, 2018, 9:00am CET par Brian Fagioli

  When it comes to keyboards, it can be hard for manufacturers to truly create something revolutionary. For the most part, new keyboards just get silly things like RGB lighting, because, well, everything must have lights these days, right? This lack of innovation is sort of OK, because let's be honest, folks -- existing keyboards are already rather wonderful. With that said, my colleague Mark Wycislik-Wilson recently reviewed a rather unique keyboard from AZIO that looks pretty cool. Last year, Logitech decided to take a stab at creating an innovative new keyboard, and not surprisingly, it succeeded. I was not surprised,… [Continue Reading]
