- Researchers develop ultra-fast light-based microprocessor -
Researchers have for the first time successfully demonstrated a microprocessor
that uses optical connections instead of traditional electrical
wires to transmit data.
- The Microsoft Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 - Ryan and
the crew at PC Perspective just published a review of
the Microsoft Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 for those of you
interested.
- Samsung releases Android 6.0 Marshmallow beta for Galaxy S6
and Galaxy S6 edge - Samsung is giving every consumer a
chance to participate, though it
will be accepting requests of its own accord. Once accepted, Galaxy S6
and S6 edge owners can download Android 6.0 on their device over
the
air and then provide feedback to the Korean manufacturer that will help
make the final version of Marshmallow better. Marshmallow for the
Galaxy S6 and S6 edge brings most of the expected features, such as
Google's Now on Tap feature and the new per-app permissions system.
Also included in the test update are new pro options in the camera, an
option to disable fast battery charging, and numerous interface
changes. New animations are reportedly on-board, and Samsung has also
changed the color theme of the interface here and there.
- Microsoft's Lumia 435 available for $29.99 off-contract - The
Lumia 435 is Microsoft's entry-level smartphone, and you can usually
pick it up from Best Buy for $49.99, with no-contract but locked to
T-Mobile. Exactly the same device (white, off-contract, locked to T-Mo)
costs $70 via the Microsoft Store - but you can currently pick it up
for just $29.99
at Best Buy. The impressive Lumia 640 is also available via the same
retailer for a bit less than its regular price. The 4G LTE handset
costs $59.99 via the Microsoft Store with no contract, but locked to
AT&T; over at Best Buy, you can buy it now for $49.99
(only available in black). Both handsets are available with free
shipping - although it's unlikely that that option will get the devices
to you in time for Christmas.
- Google tests one-touch phone logins to replace passwords -
The search giant has begun a limited test of a security feature that
allows user to login simply by clicking "yes" on a notification sent to
his phone. If this rings a little familiar, it's because it's akin to
what Yahoo is doing with its Account Key service. This is a sort of
one-factor authentication method, relying solely on something you own,
and dropping the "something you know" aspect of two-factor
authentication. Occasionally, users may be asked for their password if
Google thinks something's a little funny. If the phone is lost or
misplaced, users can log in from another device and deauthorize the
lost one. According to TechCrunch, a Reddit user named Rohit Paul was
recently sent an invitation to join a group whose users can try out
the new authentication method. Google hasn't announced whether this
feature will be made available to the general public yet.
- Facebook to Support iPhone's Live Photos - The
Facebook iOS application now lets users upload, share, and view
Live Photos captured with the iPhone 6s or 6s Plus. Live Photos debuted
with the newest iPhones from Apple earlier this year. Similar to HTC's
Zoes, iOS Live Photos combine video and images to create a moving,
living montage. At launch, Live Photos could be shared across Apple's
phones, tablets, and PCs, but not third-party platforms. The latest
version of the Facebook iOS app adds support for Live Photos. Live
Photos can only be viewed by other devices running iOS 9. The feature
is being pushed to a small number of users initially, with a broader
rollout planned for 2016.
