- Samsung Reveals 256 GB MicroSD Memory Card - Samsung
has announced the EVO Plus 256 GB microSD card, what it claims is
the highest-capacity memory card available for sale. Samsung says the
card can hold 33 hours of full HD video, 12 hours of 4K / UHD video,
55,200 pictures, or 23,500 music files. It offers read/write speeds
95Mbps and 90Mbps, respectively. The card is heat, x-ray, magnet, and
waterproof. The EVO Plus 256 GB microSD card will go on sale in the
U.S. and other countries in June for $250.
- Microsoft Pulls WiFi Sense from Windows 10 - Microsoft
has decided to remove the WiFi Sense feature from all versions of
Windows 10, including mobile devices and PCs. The feature was pulled
from the most recent preview build of Windows 10 for PCs; it will be
pulled from phones, too. WiFi Sense allowed people to share their WiFi
logins with social network connections, as well as connect to public
WiFi networks with less hassle. "The cost of updating the code to keep
this feature working combined with low usage and low demand made this
not worth further investment," explained Microsoft. Microsoft said
people who leave WiFi Sense running on their phones will still be able
to connect to open WiFi hotspots that are already in Microsoft's shared
database. Microsoft recently released a new preview build of Windows 10
for handsets. Build 14332 mostly targets bugs and makes refinements to
the user interface of select apps. The next preview build for phones
will likely strip out WiFi Sense.
- Opera Debuts VPN for iPhone and iPad - Opera Software
today launched a free VPN for iOS devices that allows iPhone and iPad
owners to browse the web more securely and access what might be
prohibited content when using managed networks. The VPN removes ad
trackers for privacy purposes and supports virtual locations (U.S.,
Canada, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands), which should let
people get around some region-based restrictions. The VPN supports a
handful of languages, including English, Arabic, French, German,
Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Opera imagines
the VPN will be useful to students and office workers who are
restricted from accessing social networks or other types of web sites
when using campus or office WiFi. Opera
VPN can be downloaded directly from Opera's web site.
- New Attack Reported On Global Banking Network - Petya
has recently been known as that nasty piece of ransomware that not
only encrypts your files and holds them hostage in exchange for
bitcoins, but also manipulates the booting process along the way. This
makes it harder for victims to operate their computers, urging them
even further to pay up. In order for Petya to activate, a user must
first grant the program administrator rights through the UAC security
feature. If a user rejects the request query, the infection process
will be terminated. However, the developers behind Petya have recently
worked around this, releasing a new type of ransomware even if the user
rejected the program access to the computer.

- Google Bakes Search Into Keyboard App for iPhones - Google
has revealed GBoard, a keyboard application for iPhones that
includes search capabilities. Google is pitching GBoard as a way to
simplify how people use the iPhone by allowing users to perform
searches without leaving the current app, such as text messaging. A
dedicated button calls up the search tool, which presents results in
card form with important details, including addresses, business hours,
and phone numbers, on the screen. iPhone owners can then send search
results, such as restaurant info, flight times, and news articles, in
messages or emails with a single tap. Beyond the search tool, GBoard
also brings searchable GIFs to the iPhone keyboard, and makes it easier
to find emoji. Last, the app includes swipe-style typing, so iPhone
owners can trace their finger across the keyboard rather than peck at
individual letters. GBoard
is free to download from the iTunes App Store.
