  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 8:40pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft is busy polishing up the next big feature update of Windows 10, the October 2018 Update (aka Redstone 5), but is also working hard on the following update, codenamed 19H1.

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 8:39pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  As ever, there has been much hype and excitement about this year's Apple event and the promise of new iPhones.

  Apple reveals larger Apple Watch Series 4

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 7:59pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Today at the Steve Jobs Center in Cupertino, Apple took the wraps off the latest addition to its Watch range. Apple Watch Series 4 comes in two sizes -- 40mm and 44mm -- and the screen is over 30 percent larger in both instances. Despite the large screen, the casing has hardly changed in size -- in fact it is thinner. Faces and apps have been redesigned to take full advantage of the edge-to-edge screen, and Apple says that it has managed to maintain the same battery life as the previous model, thanks largely to the new S4 chip with… [Continue Reading]

  Apple to sell 2 billionth iOS device

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 7:49pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  From an overall market share perspective, iOS trails Android quite dramatically. It’s not hard to see why -- devices running Google’s operating system are often far more inexpensive compared to Apple’s. That’s not necessarily a bad thing for Apple -- there are far more General Motors vehicles on the road than Mercedes, for instance. People that prefer quality hardware and actual operating system upgrades choose Apple when possible -- iOS is an absolute delight to use with many quality apps available. Today, to highlight the success of the operating system, Apple CEO Tim Cook made a shocking revelation regarding how… [Continue Reading]

  Tech Talent Matrix helps businesses hire the best developers

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 4:20pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Finding the right technical talent has become a priority for businesses, but they often lack the data needed to know if they are getting it right. The current way for companies to evaluate the success of their recruiting relies on blunt metrics like number of hires, time to hire and employee retention rate. None of which tell companies if they’ve hired the right people. Now HackerRank, a company that helps evaluate technical talent based on skill, is launching a Tech Talent Matrix, a machine learning-based tool that gives companies the data they need to hire the right software developers. "Companies… [Continue Reading]

  Malware-less email attacks on the rise -- especially on Thursdays

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 3:09pm CEST par Ian Barker

  As email security solutions focus on detecting malware, cybercriminals are now adapting their attacks, exposing organizations to more malware-less assaults such as CEO fraud. The report by intelligence-led security company FireEye is based on analysis of a sample set of over half-a-billion emails from the first half of 2018. It finds only 32 percent of email traffic seen was considered 'clean' and actually delivered to an inbox. The report also finds that one in every 101 emails had malicious intent. "Not only is email the most pervasive form of communication, it is also the most popular vector for cyberattacks. This… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 1:41pm CEST par Nick Peers

  dotPDN LLC has unveiled Paint.NET 4.1.1, a minor update that follows less than a week after the major Paint.NET 4.1 release. This includes two notable bug fixes, reinstates Adjustment menu shortcut keys and one minor improvement. The update was preceded by Paint.NET 4.1, which added support for GPU-powered effects, copy/paste for selections and bicubic resampling for the Move Selected Pixels tool. Paint.NET 4.1’s headline new feature was the rewriting of various effects to use Direct2D’s image processing system, which meant they were powered using the GPU rather than the CPU.

  Half of US mobile traffic will be scam calls by 2019

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 1:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Unwanted and scam phone calls are an increasing problem. Analysis by call management company First Orion predicts that nearly half of all calls to mobile phones in the US will be fraudulent in 2019 unless the industry adopts and implements more effective call protection solutions. Over the past year, First Orion's data shows a drastic increase in scam calls -- from 3.7 percent of total calls in 2017 to 29.2 percent in 2018 -- and that number is projected to reach 44.6 percent by early 2019. A number of techniques are used to persuade call recipients to pick up. The… [Continue Reading]

  Improving endpoint protection is top goal for IT security professionals

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 12:27pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Three quarters of IT security professionals responding to a new survey have named improving endpoint security as one of their top two goals, with 48 percent saying it's most important. The study by Ericom Software, a specialist in securing and connecting the digital workspace, finds 'Becoming compliant with mandatory regulations' is second, with 29 percent of respondents naming it as their top goal. Over 90 percent of participants say that their companies have an active cybersecurity strategy in place. However, almost half are less than 'very confident' that their strategy is sufficient to preempt internet-borne threats. Almost a third report… [Continue Reading]

  FCC pauses clock on its review of T-Mobile/Sprint merger

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 11:39am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The Federal Communications Commission has announced that it is stopping the clock on its review into the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint. The 180-day review clock has been paused at day 55 as the Commission says that it is awaiting the arrival of new submissions from both companies that are "complex". The delay will give the FCC more time to analyze these documents -- and a third submission -- when they are received. The letter posted on the FCC website reads: "Today we are pausing the Commission's informal 180-day transaction shot clock in this proceeding. Additional time is necessary to… [Continue Reading]

  WTF? Microsoft now interrupting Chrome and Firefox installations to promote Edge in Windows 10

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 11:34am CEST par Wayne Williams

  Microsoft wants you to use its Edge browser in Windows 10. I mean, really, really wants you to use it. If you open Edge and search for "Chrome" or "Firefox" using Bing, Edge’s default search engine, you’ll be presented with a massive banner informing you that "Microsoft Edge is the faster, safer browser on Windows 10 and is already installed on your PC". Four boxes below then show you how Edge lets you browse longer, and faster, offers built-in protection and built-in assistance. If that doesn’t stop you, then Microsoft has a new, much nastier trick up its sleeve --… [Continue Reading]

  Personal devices are a major threat to mobile IT environments

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 11:11am CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey finds that 58 percent of respondents believe access to their network from non-corporate and personally owned devices such as laptops, desktops or mobile phones is the highest risk in managing remote users. The study from trusted access specialist Duo Security shows that while the trend to remote working has created unmatched flexibility and helped organizations attract top talent globally, it has also introduced a major predicament for IT and security teams. From Duo's findings, 75 percent of respondents report that their users now connect remotely to work applications at least 25 percent of the time. In addition… [Continue Reading]

  Plex Cloud is closing down

  Publié: septembre 12, 2018, 10:17am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  After months of problems, Plex has announced that Plex Cloud is due to close down later this year. Introduced a couple of years ago to provide a way for users to store their files online rather than locally or on NAS drives, Plex Cloud has been plagued with issues. The company stopped accepting new servers back in February while it investigated the problems, but now Plex has determined that a fix is simply not possible and is therefore taking the "difficult decision" to shut down Plex Cloud on November 30.
