  The internet reveals the peak time for ordering pizza

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 9:58pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  When is the most popular time for ordering pizza, Chinese food, or other forms of takeout? You might think there's no set answer, but it turns out that wherever you are in the world there’s a particular time when most people think about getting food. Actually, that’s not completely true. There are two times. Academics from the University of Aberdeen studied when people go online to look for food, across the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and India, and found that people in each of those places have pretty much the same habits. The researchers discovered that people look to order… [Continue Reading]

  Lenovo Smart Display with Google Assistant now available for purchase

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 9:09pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Hardware voice assistants are all the rage these days, but let's be honest -- humans are very visual creatures by nature. It's great to interact with our voices and ears, but it can be limiting too. For instance, if you want to ask a voice assistant, such as Alexa, what a dog is, she can tell you. But isn't it better to be shown as well? In other words, in certain situations audio-only is fine, but in others, visualization can be a plus. It is good to have choice. Amazon saw the light and introduced Echo devices with screens, such… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter responds to Donald Trump's allegations that Republicans are being shadow banned

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 7:26pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Out of the blue today, Donald Trump took to his favorite medium of Twitter to complain that the company was "shadow banning" prominent Republicans -- and it wasn't long before Donald Trump Jr sided with his father. The allegations stem from a Vice article that suggested Twitter was limiting the visibility of searches for key Republican figures -- something Twitter denies. The company says that a bug is to blame and it is actively working on addressing it.

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 6:18pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Facebook shares and the personal fortune of Mark Zuckerberg took massive hits as the social network felt the impact of a growth slowdown and the fallout of recent privacy scandals. The company issued a warning to investors about a deceleration of growth in its userbase, leading to a stock drop of around 20 percent. A drop in share price lowered the value of Facebook by a massive $118 billion -- a record-breaking one-day drop in the value of a company.

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 5:16pm CEST par David Balaban

  Intel executives have recently announced plans to redesign their processors at the silicon level in order to eliminate the notorious Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities.

These include the Accelerated Memory Scanning and Advanced Platform Telemetry systems. Here’s a lowdown on these new promising technologies. GPU will help detect viruses The first solution -- Accelerated Memory Scanning -- will allow delegating the task of detecting memory-based attacks… [Continue Reading]

  Free template helps businesses deal with data breaches

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 4:56pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Thanks to legislation like GDPR businesses need to report data breaches promptly or face large fines. However, in the heat of a security incident it can be easy to overlook vital procedures. Privileged account management specialist Thycotic is aiming to help with the launch of a free Incident Response Policy Template to help businesses take the right steps at the right time. "When a company is under attack, the reality is, if you do not already have an incident response plan in place, it's too late to build one without big consequences," says Joseph Carson, chief security scientist, at Thycotic.… [Continue Reading]

  IT professionals increasingly worried about cyber attacks

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 3:09pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Chrome has a secret Material Design mode -- here's how to enable it

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 1:00pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  With the launch of Chrome 68 a few days ago, Google changed the way it handled non-HTTPS websites. But the browser update also hides a secret -- a Material Design mode that you can enable by tinkering with the relevant hidden settings. The new look is currently available on the desktop and in the iOS version of Chrome, and it gives the browser a much cleaner, fresher look and a bit of a UI rejig.

  Google releases fourth and final Android P beta ahead of official launch

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 11:25am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  We may not yet know for certain what it's going to be called, but we now have a very good idea of what to expect from Android P -- or Android 9.0, if you prefer. After numerous developer previews, Google has now released the fourth and final beta ahead of the official launch later this summer. This is very close to the final code that will be pushed to phones in the coming weeks and months, and Google says that "Beta 4 update includes a release candidate build with final system behaviors and the official Android P APIs (API level… [Continue Reading]

  Google launches Titan Security Key... that is nothing to do with Yubico

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 10:47am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google now has its own hardware security keys -- the Titan Security Key. These FIDO-compatible keys include Google firmware that verifies the integrity of security keys at the hardware level. The Titan Security Key offers secure hardware-based two-factor authentication, and is available to Google Cloud customers. The keys are similar to those offered by Yubico -- so similar, in fact, that the company has gone out of its way to stress that it is not manufacturing the devices for Google.

  YouTube slaps Alex Jones with another strike and removes Infowars founder's videos

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 9:34am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  YouTube has taken action against Infowars' Alex Jones, hitting him with a strike and removing four of the right-wing conspiracy theorist's videos from its platform. The videos -- two about Muslims, one about transgender people and one about "preventing liberalism" -- were removed for violating YouTube policies about hate speech and child endangerment. Infowars has hit back by saying that YouTube is violating its own policies in taking down the videos. YouTube has a three strikes policy which can see channels closed down completely, but this is something that Alex Jones has managed to escape this time. Although YouTube found… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft adds AI smarts to Windows 10 to avoid inconvenient update reboots -- but it's a dictatorial waste of technology

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 3:34am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Microsoft has just released Microsoft released Windows 10 Redstone 5 Build 17723 and Redstone 6 (19H1) Build 18204 and one of the new features is a new system that avoids restarts at awkward times following the installation of an update. This sounds great, and Microsoft says that people have complained about this very scenario. But is an artificial intelligence or machine learning powered system really what's needed? How about just leaving users in charge to choose when their computer restarts. There you go, Microsoft; I fixed that for you.

  Microsoft adds Dark Mode to Outlook.com

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 3:00am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  There have been a number of sites and apps that have gained dark modes in the last year -- macOS and YouTube to name but two -- and Microsoft doesn't want to miss the trend. The company has heard the pleas of Outlook.com users and added a new Dark Mode option to its web-based email service. The feature is one of the most frequently requested, and users got a preview of the new Dark Mode earlier in the month. Now it's rolling out to everyone, and Microsoft is using it as an excuse to try to push Outlook.com users to… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases Windows 10 Redstone 5 Build 17723 and Redstone 6 (19H1) Build 18204

  Publié: juillet 26, 2018, 12:00am CEST par Wayne Williams

  It’s been a couple of weeks since Microsoft last rolled out a new Windows 10 Redstone 5 build to Insiders on the Fast ring, but today the wait is over. In addition to new RS5 Build 17723 the software giant also releases a new build for Insiders who have opted to join (or rejoin) the Skip Ahead ring. Build 18204 is the first release on the 19H1 (Redstone 6) branch that will become the first feature update of 2019. Because these two builds have just split, they are largely the same -- as you might expect -- but this will… [Continue Reading]
