TechNews - MS faces lawsuits over Win10 - tech
(hx) 11:01 AM CEST - Jul,31 2016 - Post a comment / read (5)
  • Xiaomi unveils the Mi Notebook Air, a MacBook rival - The laptop comes in two sizes, a 12.5-inch model and a lighter, more powerful 13.3-inch version. The larger laptop ships with an Intel Core i5-6200U (base 2.3 GHz, turbo up to 2.7 GHz), a 256GB PCIe SSD with expandable SATA SSD slot, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, two USB 3.0 ports, a Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU, and a 40Wh battery that's said to last 9.5 hours
  • Here's how much play space you'll need for PlayStation VR - Sony is circulating a FAQ on the matter in which it recommends an area free and clear of any obstacles measuring 6’ x 10’ with the player seated in the middle, facing the PlayStation Camera. The height of the play area depends on the range captured by the camera, Sony says.
  • The Windows 10 free upgrade offer has ended, along with annoying nags - Microsoft has ended its free upgrade offer for Windows 10 as expected, approximately one year after the launch of the operating system. There's good news for users on Windows 7 and Windows 8 who didn't want to upgrade: Microsoft's persistent and annoying nags about upgrading have ceased. The prompts, and in some cases automatic upgrades to Windows 10, have been the subject of controversy, with some suggesting Microsoft has been too aggressive in its attempts to get people to upgrade. There's also bad news. For those that did want to upgrade but didn't get around to it, you'll now have to pay for a Windows 10 license. Microsoft is currently selling Windows 10 Home licenses for $120, while Windows 10 Pro is available for $200. OEM licenses are a little cheaper: $100 for Home, and $140 for Pro through Newegg.
  • MS faces new lawsuits over aggressive Windows 10 free upgrade push - On Friday, Microsoft will end its year-long Windows 10 free upgrade offer for Windows 7 and 8.1 users. The company has faced widespread criticism over its approach to encouraging users to upgrade to its latest operating system, with many accusing the firm of making the process of declining that offer needlessly difficult and confusing. That criticism has spread around the world, including China, where there have been murmurs of possible legal action over Microsoft's upgrade efforts. Last month, a woman successfully sued Microsoft in California, winning $10,000 from the company after an automatic Windows 10 installation failed, causing issues for her PC. Microsoft did not admit any wrongdoing in that case, saying that it chose not to appeal to avoid further legal costs.  Now, Microsoft is facing further legal action over the handling of its free upgrade offer, both at home and abroad. As The Seattle Times reports, three men filed a lawsuit against Microsoft in the US District Court in Florida last week, claiming that the frequent 'Get Windows 10' upgrade prompts were in violation of laws regarding unsolicited electronic advertising, and potentially in breach of Federal Trade Commission regulations on 'deceptive and unfair practices'.  Microsoft is also being sued in Haifa, Israel, over allegations that Windows 10 was installed on PCs without their owners' consent, which the lawsuit argues is contrary to Israeli law.
  • Vulnerabilities in unencrypted wireless keyboards - Researchers at cybersecurity company Bastille have discovered a vulnerability. they call “Keysniffer” that allows an attacker to record keystrokes from 250 feet away.  he issue is with those wireless keyboards that transmit to a PC using an unencrypted, radio-based communications protocol rather than a Bluetooth connection. These cheaper transceiver chips (and other non-Bluetooth chips), which operate in the 2.4GHz ISM radio band, don't recieve Bluetooth's security updates that could fix the problem. The unencrypted transmissions mean that anyone within a 250-foot line-of-sight radius could grab your passwords, credit card details, and any other personal information you type using a cheap dongle bought online. Researchers say attackers could also inject their own keystrokes to install malware or perform other malicious acts on a victim's PC.
  • Apple iPhone 7's Retail Launch Reportedly Set For September 16th - Famed tech informant Evan Blass, known as @evleaks on Twitter, claims Apple is gearing up to release its iPhone 7 model to retail on the week of September 12, and most likely on that Friday, September 16. And to be clear, he's referring to when you can actually go out and purchase an iPhone 7 model, not the launch event, which will take place sometime beforehand. There's no reason not to believe Blass on this one. Even ignoring his more than favorable history with leaking inside information that later turns out to be accurate, including Apple leaks, the time frame generally fits with Apple's past launches. A September 16 release is slightly earlier than the September 25 retail launch of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, but not by much. And because it's on a Friday, Apple will be kicking things off with a full weekend of sales.
  • BlackBerry DTEK50 Is A Secured, Rebadged Alcatel Idol 4 - BlackBerry today announced the DTEK50 smartphone, a slab-style handset that runs Android and features BlackBerry's signature communications and security software. BlackBerry says the DTEK50 features FIPS-2 hardware encryption, rapid security patching, secure boot process, and a hardened Android OS core. It includes Android for Work and Google Play for Work, as well as support for BlackBerry's full enterprise mobility management suite. Other features include BBM, BlackBerry Hub, the BlackBerry intelligent keyboard, and a customizable action key. The hardware is a rebadged version of the Alcatel Idol 4, which was announced earlier this year. The DTEK50 has a 5.2-inch full-HD LCD display, Snapdragon 617 processor with 3 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of storage. It has a 13-megapixel camera main camera, 8-megapixel front camera, NFC, Cat 6 LTE, memory card slot, and Quick Charge 2.0. The phone ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The DTEK50 is available for preorder in the U.S. and other countries starting today for $299. BlackBerry said it will reveal shipping dates on a regional basis over the coming weeks.
  • Verizon Offering Bonus Data to Family Plan Subscribers - Verizon Wireless says families of four can get 16 GB of mobile data for $150 per month thanks to a new bonus data promotion. Verizon charges $70 per month for its 8 GB (or, L) plan. Families that subscribe to the L, XL, and XXL plans can score an extra 2 GB of data per line. The bonus data is only available when customers activate a new line or upgrade an existing phone. Verizon says the bonus data will be available to each line as long as it remains active on Verizon's network. Bonus data will not carry over month-to-month. The $150 monthly price includes the $70 data charge, plus $80 in line access fees for four smartphones. Taxes and handset payments are not included. Verizon says the bonus data promotion will be available for a limited time. Customers who activate new lines of service will be eligible to receive a Samsung Galaxy J3 V handset for free ($7 bill credit applied on a monthly basis for 24 months). Verizon will allow new customers up to five free J3 Vs per account.
  • Verizon to Buy Yahoo's Internet Business for $4.8B - Verizon has said that it has agreed to buy Yahoo's core internet and search businesses for $4.83 billion. Yahoo's properties will join AOL under Verizon's ownership, to be managed by Marni Walden, EVP and President of the Product Innovation and New Businesses organization at Verizon. Verizon has spent the last few years building up its media business units. Yahoo claims to have more than 1 billion active monthly users, of which 600 million are mobile. Combining Yahoo and AOL will give Verizon control over 25 established brands, including news sites, analytics engines, email services, and advertising platforms. The sale does not include Yahoo's stake in Alibaba, Yahoo Japan, and other entities. Post sale, the remaining business will be rebranded as it transforms into an investment company. Verizon and Yahoo expect the deal to close during the first quarter of 2017, pending regulatory and shareholder approval. Verizon Communications is the parent company of Verizon Wireless.
  • Ford to Add Android Auto, CarPlay to All 2017 Models - Ford today said it will push its Sync 3 connectivity platform, with support for Android Auto and CarPlay, across its entire lineup of 2017 vehicles. Sync 3 relies on new hardware and software that Ford says is faster and better able to connect to smartphones thanks to more conversational voice recognition. Android Auto and CarPlay allow smartphone users to access core functions, such as maps, music, messages, and the phone by using voice commands. Ford says the Escape, Fusion, Mustang and Explorer are already available as 2017 model-year vehicles. Others, including the F-150, Focus, and Edge, will arrive later this year.
  • HBO Confirms That Game Of Thrones Will End After Its Eighth Season - HBO's programming president Casey Bloys confirmed at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills that Game of Thrones will wrap up after its eighth season.

Just looked into a VR setup, costs wayyyyyy too much and there's not enough out or coming to warrant the cost to entertainment value. It's another luxury just like 4K and 8K setups. Maybe when it becomes more commercial in the sense of going someplace to play it. Without this access this tech will take forever to grow. Instead of arcades, vr lounges.

They've been real arseholes to the whole world so I expected a class-action lawsuit: 2billion PCs, 10000 dollars in damages each.
If they can get away with this, others will follow the precedence - which paints a very sad future for everyone.

If you are a retard, you go buy a copy of Windows. If you have a brain, you go and buy a license on Reddit. Win 10 license goes for $30-$50.A far cry from $120+. Microsoft provides the tools/ISO you can download for free, install from DVD or USB, your choice. $120+ Pffftt.

First movers always pays a premium.

Prices will come down (same with 4K) as initial investments are earned back, more content is created and production gets refined.

Same as with everything else. It's just costly to be amongst the first to adapt somethng new.
