TechNews - Windows 8.1 Update#1 set for March 11 - tech|
| (hx) 12:25 AM CET - Jan,26 2014 |
- Corsair Obsidian 250D Video Review - TastyPC has posted a video
review of the Corsair Obsidian 250D mini-ITX case today that I
think many of you will find interesting.
- Windows 8.1 Update 1 reportedly set for March 11 release - ZDNet's
Mary Jo Foley says one of her most "accurate and trusted sources"
told her Windows 8.1 Update 1 will be released March 11; she further
states that Windows Phone 8.1 will be released at about the same time
as well. Foley says there's no indication if Microsoft will release
future upgrades similar to Update 1 prior to the next version of
Windows, which has the codename "Threshold." Recently leaked
screenshots have displayed new functionality for Windows 8.1 with the
update, including the ability to pin Metro-style apps to the taskbar.
On Wednesday, Paul Thurrott reported the update will also include a
close button for Metro apps, similar to desktop windows, making it
easier for mouse and keyboard users.
One thing neither Foley nor anyone outside Microsoft has figured out is
if the Start menu will make its return in Update 1. It's believed the
Start menu will make its return with Threshold at the latest, and Foley
says she'd be "surprised" if it arrived with Update 1.
- Bill Gates says he will never come back to Microsoft full time
- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has been making the TV news rounds
today to promote the just released 2014 annual
letter from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. However, Bloomberg
TV decided to ask him some Microsoft-themed questions when Gates
appeared on the cable network. As he has done many times before, Gates
did not indicate any chance he will return to working at Microsoft full
time when asked that question today. He stated, "My full-time work will
be with the foundation for the rest of my life." He did say he will
"help out part time" with Microsoft. Indeed, he has already stated that
he will be very involved with helping whomever is selected as the
company's new CEO.
- LogMeIn is killing free remote access - People who
currently use the free version of the LogMeIn remote desktop software
will have to prepare for a big, and for most an unwelcome, change. The
company announced today that it will
no longer offer a free version to download and will force current
users to switch to their paid software. Free LogMeIn users will have
seven days of continued use after they log into the program beginning
today. After that, they will have to pay to continue to use the
program. The price levels include support for up to 2 PCs for $49 a
year, up to 5 PCs for $129 a year and and up to 10 PCs for $229 a year.
By contrast, the free version could support up to 10 PCs. Owners of the
paid LogMeIn Ignition apps for iOS and Android will also be affected by
this change but the company claims they will offer "significant
discounts, as well as generous terms to ease the transition" for those
users.
- Google explains reasons behind 30-minute service outage - Following
one of the longer cross-service
outages for Google in recent memory, the search and software giant
sent out an apology and explanation for today's occurrences. According
to the Official
Google Blog, an internal system that sends out configuration
information for systems beyond it encountered a software bug that sent
out incorrect commands to several areas.
It only took from 10:55am PT when the bug was first seen to 11:02am
when users began seeing massive outages in Gmail, Google+, Drive and
other services. Roughly 12 minutes later while engineers were still in
the process of figuring out what was happening, the initial system that
sent out the bad information had self-corrected and began to properly
configure other systems. Google claims nearly all users' services were
back up and running by 11:30, which seems to be consistent with the
general consensus among users.

- 750,000 malicious emails traced back to hacked home appliances
- California security firm Proofpoint has announced their findings
that a large botnet which sent over 750,000 malicious emails originated
from the unlikeliest place imaginable: Home appliances, including
televisions, routers and even refrigerators. According to a press
release issued by the security firm, hackers managed to infiltrate
over 100,000 "smart" appliances which have the ability to connect to
the internet, in order to send out spam emails en masse. The incidents,
which occurred between late December and early January, saw "waves of
malicious email, typically sent in bursts of 100,000, three times per
day, targeting enterprises and individuals worldwide". The attack is
one of the first of its kind, and makes good use of the various
security flaws typically seen in these home appliances.
- Worst passwords of 2013 - annual list updated - SplashData has

therefore Worst Password, and two-time runner-up "123456" took the
dubious honor. "Password" fell to #2.

perfectly envelop champagne flutes
