  Jaybird unveils affordable 'Tarah' Bluetooth Wireless Sport Headphones

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 7:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Thanks to Apple's courageous (kidding!) act of removing the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone, more and more consumers are opting for Bluetooth headphones these days. True, unlike wired variants, they do need to be charged, but their convenience can make up for this deficiency. Exercisers and other active folks can workout more comfortably, without fear of getting wires stuck on equipment -- dangerous for the wearer and any device to which the headphones are attached. The problem? Many Bluetooth headphones are trash. Amazon is littered with cheap no-name offerings that are of low-quality which should be avoided. Instead, consumers… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter considers new Dehumanization Policy -- but wants your feedback first

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 5:46pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Continuing to face criticism for failing to successfully tackle abuse on its platform, Twitter has announced a new approach. The company is planning to introduce new policies, but before they become part of official rules it will ask for feedback from users. Starting off with a new Dehumanization Policy, Twitter will invite users to give their opinion and complete surveys about proposed policy changes. The first policy to be subject to this public scrutiny says: "You may not dehumanize anyone based on membership in an identifiable group, as this speech can lead to offline harm". See also: Hooray! The option… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 4:39pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Cryptocurrency mining malware has seen an increase of 86 percent in the second quarter of 2018, according to a new report from McAfee Labs. After gaining ground the fourth quarter of 2017 to around 400,000 samples, new cryptomining malware samples grew a stunning 629 percent to more than 2.9 million in Q1 of 2018. This trend has continued in with more than 2.5 million new samples detected. McAfee Labs has also identified what appear to be older malware programs, such as ransomware, newly retooled with mining capabilities. In some cases, cryptomining targets specific groups rather than a broad field of… [Continue Reading]

  Qualcomm accuses Apple of stealing trade secrets and giving them to Intel

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 4:14pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Chip-maker Qualcomm has today accused Apple of stealing trade secrets and sharing them with Intel. The company alleges that Apple wanted Intel to be able to improve its own chips so it could move away from using Qualcomm's. Qualcomm and Apple are already engaged in a legal battle, and with its latest accusations, the chip-maker wants the court to amend its existing lawsuit against the company. Apple stands accused of engaging in a "multi-year campaign of sloppy, inappropriate and deceitful conduct".

  Symantec brings improved data loss prevention and rights management to Office 365

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 4:13pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Protecting data in the cloud and ensuring compliance with rules and regulations is a complex task. The adoption off SaaS applications like Office 365 makes it even more so. Symantec is launching an enhanced version of its Data Loss Prevention technology to protect data in Office 365 and allow users to safely share it internally as well as with partners and contractors. Symantec's DLP uses a powerful combination of detection technologies backed by advanced machine learning to classify sensitive personal information. These include Sensitive Image Recognition (SIR) with Optical Character Recognition (OCR). When data is shared with third parties, identity-based… [Continue Reading]

  Fedora 29 Beta Linux distro now available for download with improved Raspberry Pi support

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 3:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you are going to use Linux on the desktop, you might as well use Fedora. Why? Well, it is a pure open source experience. I mean, why switch from Windows to a distro that isn't entirely focused on FOSS? You should go all in! Not to mention, it uses very modern packages while retaining stability. Oh, and it uses the best overall desktop environment, GNOME, by default. It's no wonder the father of Linux, Linus Torvalds, uses it. The next version of the operating system is Fedora 29, and today, it achieves Beta status. It features updated packages, improved… [Continue Reading]

  Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller gets Apple HomeKit support

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 3:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  As a suburbanite homeowner, nothing brings me more joy than having a nice yard. Yeah, it can be hard work to mow the lawn, rake leaves, and pull weeds, but it is totally worth it. Earlier this year, I even installed the Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller to more intelligently water my grass, and I came away very impressed. Not only does it keep my lawn looking good, but it saves me money too. How? It knows to skip watering based on the weather -- no more running sprinklers in the rain! Believe it or not, starting today, the Rachio… [Continue Reading]

  Companies continue to use vulnerable open source components

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 3:12pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Use of known vulnerable open source components has increased by 120 percent over the last year and 62 percent of organizations say they have no meaningful control over OSS components, according to a new study. Sonatype's fourth annual State of the Software Supply Chain Report shows that open source continues to be a key driver of innovation -- with software developers downloading more than 300 billion open source components in the past 12 months. However, hackers are exploiting this growing trend, and even beginning to inject vulnerabilities directly into open source projects. Currently over 1.3 million vulnerabilities in OSS components… [Continue Reading]

  Zoho taken offline by domain registrar for phishing violations

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 12:06pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  CRM service Zoho disappeared from the internet after its domain registrar suspended it for failing to deal with phishing appropriately. TierraNet blacklisted Zoho.com after receiving complaints about phishing emails sent from Zoho-hosted accounts. This meant that many businesses were unable to access their documents, address books and emails, causing chaos for many. Zoho has said that in order to ensure such an occurrence is never repeated, it will become a domain registrar itself. Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu used Twitter to complain about his company being taken offline without warning, and said that TierraNet were difficult to get hold of to… [Continue Reading]

  Instagram co-founders resign from Facebook-owned company to 'explore curiosity and creativity again'

  Publié: septembre 25, 2018, 11:03am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Six years after their company was bought by Facebook, Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger have resigned. The pair say they are "planning on taking some time off to explore our curiosity and creativity again". But while the departures have been presented as being amicable, sources suggest that the resignations came about because of Systrom and Krieger's unhappiness at the direction in which Facebook was taking the app. See also: Now you can get verified on Instagram Facebook VPN Onavo Protect disappears from App Store for violating Apple's data collection and privacy rules Facebook denies asking banks for your… [Continue Reading]
