  Microsoft launches open source Quantum Katas project on GitHub to teach Q# programming

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 8:28pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Quantum computing is the future, and it has the potential to change everything. These new machines will be much more powerful than any "classic" computer available today. Quantum computers will be able to do calculations that we can only dream about today, potentially solving problems never thought solvable before. These powerful computers may even render current encryption methods obsolete. Of course, hardware is just part of the equation. In order for quantum computers to truly change the world, we will need software written for them. Microsoft seems eager to get programmers on the quantum bandwagon, as today, it launches the… [Continue Reading]

  The Document Foundation distances itself from unofficial LibreOffice app in the Microsoft Store

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 7:33pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Earlier today we wrote about the sudden appearance of a new LibreOffice app in the Microsoft Store. There were a couple of peculiarities about the app -- not only was it made by an unknown developer, but it came with a price tag. Now The Document Foundation -- the organization behind the LibreOffice office suite -- has spoken up to say that the app is not official and to point out that it is not getting any money from it.

  Brace yourself for a slew of security warnings from Chrome

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 6:37pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Tomorrow -- Tuesday, 24 July -- sees the release of Chrome 68. Many people will regard this as just another browser update, but the release sees an important change to the way Chrome handles unencrypted websites. The new way in which non-HTTPS sites are handled means that Chrome is going to start throwing up warning messages whenever an insecure site is encountered -- a reversal of the way things have been up until now.

  DevOps -- sorting the leaders from the laggards

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 6:01pm CEST par Ian Barker

  What characterizes companies that do DevOps well compared to those that don't? A new study by Forrester for software testing company Tricentis aims to find out. The research looked at 94 quality metrics that were classified into four categories. Key findings are that an understanding of business risk is the most important determining factor of DevOps and Agile maturity. DevOps experts focus primarily on contextual metrics (e.g. requirements coverage) while others focused on 'counting' metrics (e.g. number of tests). Also experts are more likely to measure the user experience across an end-to-end transaction while others rely on application-specific or team-specific metrics. Among… [Continue Reading]

  Costco selling exclusive Microsoft Surface Go variant with free Type Cover

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 5:44pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  As someone that is constantly on the move, I am very excited about the upcoming Surface Go. Yeah, an iPad with keyboard case is doable, but really, it is a poor experience. Apple still doesn't offer mouse or track pad support in iOS, which hinders productivity. Conversely, with Surface Go, you can use any Windows compatible hardware in addition to the official Type cover -- mice, keyboards, etc. Currently, there are two consumer variants available for pre-order. Both have the same Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y processor, but the $399 model comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, while the $549… [Continue Reading]

  Software supply chain attacks set to become a major threat

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 3:06pm CEST par Ian Barker

  According to a new study, 80 percent of IT decision makers and IT security professionals believe software supply chain attacks have the potential to become one of the biggest cyber threats over the next three years. The survey by Vanson Bourne for endpoint security company CrowdStrike  finds two-thirds of the surveyed organizations experienced a software supply chain attack in the past 12 months. At the same time, 71 percent believe their organization does not always hold external suppliers to the same security standards. Only 37 percent of respondents in the US, UK and Singapore say their organization has vetted all… [Continue Reading]

  iOS 6 -- 2018 Edition brings 3D Touch and more to Apple's old OS

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 12:39pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  iOS 6 made its debut six years ago, in 2012. It wasn’t the most ground-breaking version of Apple’s mobile operating system, focusing mostly on refining elements, although it did introduce a number of new features, including Apple Maps, Do Not Disturb, and Passbook (now called Wallet). With iOS 12 due this fall, most people have long forgotten about iOS 6, but the 2018 Edition shows why it was good, and how adding 3D Touch can improve things significantly. YouTuber Kamer Kaan Avdan, who has previously created concept videos for Windows 11, iOS 12 and Android 9.0, and most recently brought… [Continue Reading]

  Snapchat is shuttering peer-to-peer money transfer service Snapcash

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 8:54am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Snapchat confirmed that it is closing down Snapcash next month. The peer-to-peer money transfer service is due to shut up shop on 30 August. The closure was not officially announced by Snapchat initially, but references to "Snapcash deprecation" were spotted in the code of the Android app. The company has now confirmed that Snapcash is coming to an end after four years. Launched back in 2014, Snapcash provided Snapchat users with an easy way to send money to other, but itfailed to attract much interest outside of paying for adult content. The company has not revealed the reason for the… [Continue Reading]

  Free, open source office suite LibreOffice arrives in the Microsoft Store -- with a price tag

  Publié: juillet 23, 2018, 8:28am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  LibreOffice is one of many free alternatives to Microsoft Office, and the open source office suite has now arrived in the Microsoft Store. While many people will be pleased by the appearance of a Store version of the software, some will be disappointed to find that the app is not free. At least not at first glance. There's a $2.99 price tag attached to Libre Office, but this is not necessarily a reason to let this put you off.
