  Following 'unusual activity' from China and Saudi Arabia, Twitter reveals user country codes may have leaked

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 8:06pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Twitter has discovered what it describes as "unusual activity" stemming from China and Saudi Arabia. The social networking company says that it noticed a large number of enquiries involving a support API coming from individual IP addresses in the two countries. The discovery came as Twitter investigated a bug in a support form. The problem, Twitter says, dates back to November 15, and it was fixed the next day, but a security researcher says he reported the issue two years ago. As a result of the bug, Twitter says that the country code of users' phone numbers could have been… [Continue Reading]

  Satechi launches elegant USB Type-C Aluminum Monitor Stand Hub for Apple iMac

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 8:02pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Apple's iMac computers are elegant and powerful. The all-in-one macOS desktop computers are used by both home users and professionals alike. In fact, last year, the company even launched the iMac Pro -- a version of the computer with more power and a space gray exterior (the non-Pro models are silver). Popular company Satechi makes many accessories for Apple products, including the aforementioned iMac Pro. Today, it launches yet another -- a USB Type-C Aluminum Monitor Stand Hub. It will work with both iMac and iMac Pro. This includes older iMac computers without USB-C -- a Type-A adapter is included… [Continue Reading]

  Twitter is bringing back the reverse chronological timeline starting today

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 7:30pm CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  For those who like simple chronology, Twitter's insistence on delivering tweets in an algorithm powered order that is seemingly random has long been a source of frustration. Today, the social site launches a new way to switch between reverse chronological order or the algorithm-driven "top tweets" ordering. To allow for easy switching between the two modes, Twitter is rolling out a new "sparkle" button to its mobile app. The change is being made available to iOS users first, but Android owners will not be far behind.

  Addressing the skills gap, cyber wars and a new wave of immersive intelligence -- AI predictions for 2019

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 5:08pm CET par Ian Barker

  Artificial intelligence has been 'the future' for quite a long time, but it seems that the potential of the technology is at last starting to have an impact on the real world. What do industry experts think will be the things we'll see from AI in 2019? We've put together some of their opinions below. Huw Owen, head of EMEA and APJ at Couchbase says, "The opportunities and need for artificial intelligence and machine learning are well understood: with projects such as IBM’s Watson already showing its potential. With this groundwork already in place, 2019 will be the year where… [Continue Reading]

  Shutterstock reveals the most searched celebs and events of 2018

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 3:15pm CET par Ian Barker

  The internet is a serious and valuable tool for research and commerce, but we all know it's mostly about cute kittens and celebrities. Photo service Shutterstock has been analyzing the search data from its site to reveal most searched for names around the world and has produced an infographic of the result. It's no surprise to see royal wedding couple Harry and Meghan (the Duke and Duchess of Sussex -- just in case there's an OBE in the post) top the list of search increases with a jump of a massive 6,550 percent, more than double that of second place… [Continue Reading]

  Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS comes to Dell Precision 5530 and 3530 mobile workstations

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 2:00pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  While many people and companies are jumping on the Linux bandwagon these days, it is important to remember that Dell has long been a proponent of the open source kernel. It has offered Ubuntu on some of its computers -- a gutsy move being such a major Microsoft partner. It may not seem major these days, but when one of the largest makers of Windows computers embraced Linux, it was monumental. Dell remains a major Windows computer manufacturer, but its commitment to Ubuntu and open source ideology remains. The company has slowly been updating the pre-loaded version of Ubuntu from… [Continue Reading]

  Artificial intelligence -- force for good or force for evil?

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 12:14pm CET par Ian Barker

  There are a lot of benefits to be gained from artificial intelligence, but its use also raises concerns over the impact it is likely to have on jobs, privacy and more. Enterprise AI specialist noodle.ai has produced an infographic looking at the positive and negative impacts of the technology. On the positive side AI is expected to create over two million jobs by 2020. It also has the potential to free up humans to undertake more fulfilling and creative tasks. Machine learning could help produce better medical treatments and driverless vehicles could cut the number of road accidents. The other… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft may have sent you an email with a hidden gift certificate worth $10

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 11:41am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  We're coming up to the time of year when a little extra money is welcome. Well... that's true of pretty much any day of the year, but with Christmas presents to buy, it is particularly true now. So how about some free money from Microsoft? It seems that you may already have a free gift certificate worth $10 sitting in your inbox. Microsoft included the gift cards in emails it sent out to people, but rather than making an announcement, the company decided to stealthily hide the money.

  Microsoft says Windows 10 October 2018 Update now fully available for 'advanced users'

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 11:28am CET par Wayne Williams

  The many problems relating to the Windows 10 October 2018 Update are well known. Shortly after it was originally released, back in October, reports started to filter through that the OS update was deleting user files. Microsoft pulled the update, and then re-released a fixed version six weeks later, but additional problems surfaced. Microsoft suggested at the time -- as it always does -- that users wait until offered the update before installing it, but now says that it is fully available to advanced users. But what is an 'advanced user' in this context? Announcing the wider availability, Microsoft says:… [Continue Reading]

  Apple releases iOS 12.1.2 with eSIM fixes -- but Qualcomm is still not happy

  Publié: décembre 18, 2018, 11:04am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Apple has made iOS 12.1.2 available to iPhone users, just two weeks after the public release of iOS 12.1.1. The fourth update to the iPhone operating system since it was launched includes fixes for problems with eSIM and connectivity. But while iPhone owners around the world will be pleased to receive another update, Qualcomm remains unhappy with Apple. The company complained that Apple was violating two of its software patents, and last week a Chinese court banned the sale of certain older iPhones. Apple said that this week's update would "address any possible concern about our compliance with the order";… [Continue Reading]
