Blizzard Finally Introduces Native Voice Chat - tech
(hx) 05:18 PM CEST - Oct,24 2016 - Post a comment
Blizzard gamers have an alternative to Skype or Ventrilo now, as the company has launched a built-in voice chat service. The article claims that the voice quality is "remarkable," but you can judge for yourself by simply updating Battle.net to get the feature.
The company has been trying to introduce some form of voice chat into its ecosystem for a while now. There’s been a decent but limited voice chat implementation in World of Warcraft for a long time, but that was only available inside of the MMORPG. But as of right now, everyone using the latest version of the Battle.net app can jump in and use voice chat with friends across all of Blizzard’s titles – and outside of them as well. All a user needs to do is update the Battle.net app to version 1.5.1, Build 8098, or newer. After logging in, you’ll be prompted with a new pop-up informing users that Voice Chat is now available. To enable it, simply head over to the friends list, create a channel with some friends and click on headphone icon.

  • Part 1: DirectX 11 Gaming And Multi-Core CPU Scaling - The chaps over at THG have tested five theoretical Intel CPUs in 10 different DirectX 11-based games to determine what impact core count has on performance.
  • Seagate Announces BarraCuda ST5000 - Seagate has just announced its new BarraCuda ST5000, which bumps the maximum storage capacity of its 2.5-inch mobile hard drive from 4TB to an impressive 5TB. Seagate was able to achieve this feat using its new 2.5-inch 1TB platters that were first announced in January. For those that don't need a staggering 5TB at their disposal, cheaper 4TB (ST4000) and 3TB (ST3000) versions will also be offered. All of the drives in the new BarraCuda family spin at 5400RPM and have 128MB of cache onboard. However, beware that the BarraCuda ST5000, ST4000, and ST3000 all have a 15mm z-height, which means that you won't be cramming these drives into most notebooks (with the exception of massive gaming notebooks). Seagate says that drives are destined to go into all-in-one PCs and ultra-slim desktops that need to provide a lot of storage, but don't have enough room to fit a 3.5-inch hard drive. You can also expect to see these drives pop up in external enclosures. Seagate also announced a new 2TB FireCuda drive that includes 8GB of flash onboard to improve boot times and help you load applications faster
  • The Samsung 960 Pro (2TB) SSD Review - The $1299 MSRP on the 2TB 960 Pro is almost as shocking as the $1499 MSRP for the 4TB 850 EVO was. This drive is not for everyone, though it might be coveted by everyone. But for those who have the money, the price per gigabyte is not outlandish. Aside from Intel's TLC-based SSD 600p, PCIe SSDs currently start around $0.50/GB, and at $0.63/GB the 960 Pro is more expensive than the Plextor M8Pe but cheaper than the Intel SSD 750 or the OCZ RD400A. Samsung is by no means price gouging and they could justify charging even more based on the performance and efficiency advantages the 960 Pro has over the competitors. The 960 Pro and 960 EVO are not yet listed on Amazon and are only listed as "Coming Soon" with no price on Newegg, but they can be pre-ordered direct from Samsung with an estimated ship time of 2-4 weeks.
  • Samsung Kicks Off Production of 10nm SoCs - Samsung has said it has begun producing systems-on-a-chip using its 10nm FinFET process. The SoCs will eventually be used in application processors for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Samsung's 10nm FinFET process relies on 3D transistors and new methods such as triple-patterning to generate significant improvements over its 14nm process. For example, SoCs made with the 10nm process are 30% smaller, require 40% less power, and can boost performance by up to 27%. Samsung believes the first devices to rely on its 10nm FinFET process will reach the market it early 2017, with more to follow throughout the year.
  • Qualcomm Intros New Snapdragon 600 and 400 Processors - Qualcomm today announced new Snapdragon application processors for mid-range and volume mobile devices. The Snapdragon 653, Snapdragon 626, and Snapdragon 427 are all paired with Qualcomm's X9 LTE modem with Cat 7 download (300Mbps) and Cat 13 upload (150Mbps) speeds; 2x20 MHz Carrier Aggregation; 64-QAM on the uplink; and VoLTE with Enhanced Voice Services. The Snapdragon 653 improves upon the Snapdragon 652 with faster CPU/GPU performance and double the RAM (now 8 GB). The Snapdragon 626 improves upon the Snapdragon 625 with quicker CPU performance, a better antenna, and wider software compatibility. The Snapdragon 427 is an update to the Snapdragon 425 with better CPU/GPU speeds and Qualcomm's TruSignal antenna tuning. Qualcomm says the Snapdragon 653 and 626 will reach mobile devices before the end of the year, but the 427 won't arrive until early 2017.
  • iPhone 7 Plus Intel Modem Not Equal to Qualcomm Modem - Under poor network conditions, the iPhone 7 Plus with Intel inside does not perform as well as the iPhone 7 Plus with Qualcomm inside. Apple sourced the iPhone 7 Plus modem from both Intel and Qualcomm. This represents a major change for the company, which has relied solely on Qualcomm modems for years. The Intel modem (XMM7360) is found in the AT&T and T-Mobile variants of the iPhone 7, while the Qualcomm modem (MDM9645M) is found in the Sprint, Verizon, and unlocked variants of the iPhone 7. Cellular Insights conducted extensive signal tests on the iPhone 7 Plus in LTE Bands 12, 7, and 4 to see if any performance differences exist between the two modems. Under optimal network conditions both the Intel- and Qualcomm-equipped iPhones demonstrated an equal level of performance in speed and maintaining a connection. Under weak network conditions, however, the Intel-equipped iPhone 7 Plus posted speeds that were on average 30% slower than those of the Qualcomm-equipped iPhone 7 Plus. The slower speeds at the cell edge mean the Intel-based iPhone 7 Plus may be more likely to experience dropped VoLTE calls and other, similar behaviors. "In all tests, the iPhone 7 Plus with the Qualcomm modem had a significant performance edge over the iPhone 7 Plus with the Intel modem," said Cellular Insights in its report. Apple has not said why it selected modems from two separate suppliers for the iPhone 7 Plus.
  • Apple Releases iOS 10.0.3 to Resolve iPhone 7 Connectivity Bug - Apple today made iOS 10.0.3 available to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. This update is targeted at Apple's newest iPhones and resolves an issue that impacted cellular connectivity. Apple recommends all iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus owners apply the update when possible.
  • Phone 7 bursts into flames, destroys vehicle - A south coast surfer says his iPhone 7 burst into flames and destroyed his car. Mat Jones says he had left the phone under clothes in his car while taking a surf lesson. When he returned, he was shocked to discover the vehicle filled with smoke. The tech giant Apple wouldn't comment but said they were aware of the complaint and they are investigating. It follows concerns in the past few weeks from Samsung Galaxy Note 7 owners about their phones catching fire.
  • Samsung to Reward Note7 Owners' Loyalty with Cash - Samsung is offering a cash incentive to Galaxy Note7 owners if they stick with the Samsung brand. U.S. consumers who exchange their Note7 for any other Samsung handset will be rewarded with $100 in bill credits. Consumers who exchange their Note7 for a phone made by another company will be given $25 in bill credits. The financial incentive arrives as Samsung expands its recall of the Note7 to all devices, both the original and the replacement. The number of Note7s being recalled in the U.S. stands at about 1.9 million. Samsung hasn't said how many have even returned/exchanged. "We appreciate the patience of our consumers, carriers, and retail partners for carrying the burden during these challenging times," said Samsung Electronics America COO Tim Baxter. "We are committed to doing everything we can to make this right." There have been 96 documented cases of the Note7 overheating in the U.S., according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, with 15 of those coming from supposed safe devices.
  • Google Pixel Hits Verizon Stores Today, But Pixel XL 128 GB Sold Out - Verizon Wireless said the Google Pixel and Pixel XL are available at its stores today. The Pixel 32 GB ($650) and 128 GB ($750), and the Pixel XL 32 GB ($770) are in stores in black, white, and blue. The Pixel XL 128 GB ($870) is sold out and not available. Monthly pricing over two years breaks down to $27.08, $31.24, $32.08, and $36.24, respectively, for the Pixel 32 GB, Pixel 128 GB, Pixel XL 32 GB, and Pixel XL 128 GB. Verizon will offer up to $300 for select trade-ins, including the HTC One M9, iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, LG G4 or V10, Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+ or Note 5. Customers who buy either Pixel device may also preorder the Daydream View virtual reality headset.
  • Reviewer Unboxes The Google Pixel And Discovers Its Horrifying - Christopher Bingham is here to unbox Google's new flagship phone and show us - what's that, you can use it to call the dead?
  • ZTE's Project CSX Picks Eyeball-Controlled, Sticky Phone - ZTE has announced that the winning entry of its Project CSX crowd-sourced competition is an eye-controlled smartphone. Owners of the device, which will be built by ZTE over the course of the next year, will be able to control the handset by moving their eyes around. The phone will also include a self-adhesive rear panel so it sticks to surfaces like car dashboards without help. Thousands of voters selected from dozens of initial entries that were narrowed down to five entries this week. "We are overwhelmed with the amount of consumer participation and positive reception to Project CSX," said Lixin Cheng, chairman and CEO of ZTE USA. "As the first smartphone manufacturer to take on crowdsourcing its next mobile device from start to finish, we are proud of how this project pushed the envelope, and that consumers from around the world have chosen to be part of this industry-disrupting process." The eye-controlled, self-adhesive phone won with 36% of the vote. ZTE will work with the winner to design, engineer, and manufacture the device, which it hopes to bring to market by late 2017.
  • Bendable Touchscreens Are Getting Closer To Reality - This is Xiaomi's attempt at a flexible touchscreen. It looks pretty nice!
  • Why Was Half The Internet Down This Morning? - Twitter, Spotify and Reddit, and a huge swath of other websites were down or screwed up this morning. This was happening as hackers unleashed a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the servers of Dyn, a major DNS host. It's probably safe to assume that the two situations are related.  Domain Name Servers (DNS) act as the Internet's phone book. Basically, they facilitate your request to go to a certain webpage and make sure you are taken to the right place. If the DNS provider that handles requests for Twitter is down, well, good luck getting to Twitter. Some websites are coming back for some users, but it doesn't look like the problem is fully resolved. Dyn posted this update on its website: "Starting at 11:10 UTC on October 21th-Friday 2016 we began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure. Some customers may experience increased DNS query latency and delayed zone propagation during this time. Updates will be posted as information becomes available."

  • Microsoft Debuts Skype Sign-In Across Services  - Microsoft has made it possible for Skype users to sign into other Microsoft services with their Skype username and password. For example, people who have Skype credentials will be able to use them to log into Xbox, Office, or OneDrive. Moreover, people will be able to use those services across devices and platforms with this new single sign-in, negating the need to enter separate usernames and passwords for each Microsoft service across their devices. Microsoft is now wholly managing the Skype sign-in screen, password change, and account recovery flow, but none of these changes impact how people access and use Skype. Microsoft says the single sign-in tool will be available in the newest versions of the Skype app across platforms in the days ahead.
  • New Android Malware asks for a selfie as it steals your information - McAfee Labs' Mobile Research Team discovered the malicious application, which is a new variant of the Acecard Trojan Malware (aka Torec) that was first identified back in February. In addition to asking for credit card details and information such as "mother's maiden name," the updated app offers "identify confirmation," which involves uploading photos of identity documents such as a driver's license along with a selfie of the gullible user holding the ID.  As is the case with many Trojans, Acecard installs itself by tricking the user into thinking they're installing a video codec/plugin or app for watching adult videos. Once it's on the Android device, the malware asks for administrator privileges, before running in the background while monitoring specific apps. Acecard then shows a phishing overlay that pretends to be Google Play asking for a credit card number. This is followed by requests for name, date of birth, phone number, card expiration date, and CCV. It will also request second-factor authentication for some cards. Anyone who lives in Hong Kong will be asked for a copy of their HK ID card, while Singapore residents must add their National Registration card and passport.
  • CryPy ransomware encrypts your files with a unique key for each one - The malware was found in a security flaw in a content management system called Magento, which allowed perpetrators to utilize a PHP shell script to a vulnerable web server in Israel, which now acts as the Command & Control (C&C) server of the CryPy ransomware. Moreover, the C&C server isn't used only for ransomware attacks; the server is also utilized to conduct phishing attacks, which are usually fake PayPal messages. It is believed that the malware developers are Hebrew-speaking. CryPy is composed of two files, namely 'boot_common.py,' and 'encryptor.py.' The former is responsible for error-logging on the Windows platform, while the latter is the encryptor itself. Once a system has been infected, the ransomware disables Registry Tools, Task Manager, CMD, and Run, which are the usual features used to control and terminate malware. Soon after, it will start encrypting files. Typical ransomware encrypts all files of a system, then assigns a unique key for it, so when the developers demand money from victims, they can track the infected system. However, CryPy makes it a lot more difficult for its prey by assigning a unique key for each file that it encrypts.

NVIDIA GeForce 375.57 WHQL driver - tech
(hx) 09:06 PM CEST - Oct,21 2016 - Post a comment / read (4)
Nvidia has just updated its GeForce drivers to be 'game ready' for Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, Civilization VI, Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, and Ubisoft's Eagle Flight. The green team provides a bit more blurb on the included driver optimisations thanks to its regular blog posts and accompanying PDF documentation. It is also good to see some recommended specs with corresponding GPUs for the likes of Titanfall 2. Battlefield 1 went live today for the masses and Nvidia recommends you "gear up" with at least a GeForce GTX 1060 3GB card to enjoy it at 60FPS, at 1920x1080, with high graphical details. Titanfall 2 is still a week from release but Nvidia already has assessed the game at resolutions up to 4K, running at 60FPS.

NVIDIA's GTX 1050 graphics card starts at $109 - tech
(hx) 08:55 AM CEST - Oct,19 2016 - Post a comment / read (2)
When it comes to shopping for PC gaming hardware, there are often three types of consumers -- hardcore, budget, and those that fall in between. Hardcore gamers will spend massive amounts of money to get the absolute best performance. Budget gamers, however, aim for respectable specifications at affordable prices. If you fall into the budget category, today, NVIDIA announces two new graphics cards that will make you very excited -- GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti. While neither card is top of the line, they should be able to achieve solid performance at 1080p. Best of all? The 1050 starts at a super-low $109.

The GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti flank AMD's similarly priced Radeon RX 460, though instead of just differing in the amount of onboard memory (the RX 460 comes in 2GB and 4GB models), they offer different levels of performance. Both are built around Nvidia's GP107 graphics processor, manufactured on Samsung's 14nm FinFET process. It has a die size of 135mm^2, 3.3 billion transistors, and a 128-bit memory interface. Both cards using the GP107 will have 32 ROPs. The GTX 1050 wields 640 CUDA cores with a base clock of 1,354MHz and boost clock of 1,455MHz, and of course some of Nvidia's hardware partners are goosing those clocks for faster performance. It also has 2GB of GDDR5 memory at 7Gbps, resulting in 112GB/s of memory bandwidth. For $30 more, the GTX 1050 Ti bumps up the CUDA core count to 768 and doubles memory to 4GB, which is also not surprisingly GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus. Clockspeeds are a little slower at 1,290MHz and 1,392MHz for the base and boost, respectively, but overall it's the higher performing card. It's also the one that could be end up being compatible with the recently lowered Oculus Rift hardware requirements—Nvidia and Oculus are in the process of testing the GTX 1050 Ti to see if that's the case.

These cards only draw 75W of power. Neither one needs a PCIe power connection, and with the reference measurements putting both the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti at just 5.7 inches long.

TechNews - OEMs won't be able to sell PCs with Win7 - tech
(hx) 01:10 PM CEST - Oct,09 2016 - Post a comment / read (3)
  • Microsoft Surface keyboard and mouse suggest AIO Surface PC is on the way - Microsoft’s Windows 10 and Surface event is taking place October 26. Expect to see the Surface keyboard and mouse to be unveiled, along with at least one all-in-one Surface-branded PC. There will also be plenty of announcements relating to Windows 10 and Xbox. Microsoft may not refresh its Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book devices at this event however. Rumors of an all-in-one Surface computer have been circling for a while after evidence appeared suggesting that Microsoft would reveal Surface-branded PC accessories and an AIO PC soon – at the hardware event we've now have confirmed will take place later this month.
  • Sharp showcases concept smartphone with gorgeous rounded, bezel-less display - Sharp at the CEATECH 2016 trade show in Japan this week unveiled an intriguing smartphone it’s calling the Corner R. The handset’s internal hardware specs are irrelevant – it’s the display that has the Internet talking today. The Corner R features a 5.2-inch full HD IGZO LCD that utilizes Free-Form Display technology meaning it can be cut into various shapes. Besides the fact that it’s nearly bezel-less, what really makes the display pop is its truly rounded corners and button-free design (the buttons on the bottom are virtual).
  • Mark Zuckerberg Shows New VR Demo at Oculus Connect - Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg gave a live demo at Oculus Connect today of a virtual reality social application that lets you interact with other people in a virtual environment. Zuck also gave us a sneak peek at the wireless Oculus headset that uses "inside-out tracking" from an internal camera.
  • OEMs won't be able to sell PCs with Win7 / 8.1 starting November - Windows 7, arguably Microsoft's best release of Windows, along with the less popular Windows 8.1 won't come installed on large OEM PCs after October 31, 2016. The move comes as Windows 7 rapidly excels towards its end of extended supported, which will occur at the beginning of 2020, having already lost mainstream support at the start of 2015. Just like each operating system has a date that it stops receiving updates, there is also an end-of-sale date, the date until when large OEMs can continue pre-installing a version of Windows. In the case of Windows 7, it was already meant to have stopped being pre-installed, but Microsoft allowed the Professional edition an additional two years until October 31, 2016. Now time has almost run out for both Windows 7 and 8.1 as their end-of-sale dates approach.
  • The Andromeda strain: A new Google OS? - Next week in San Francisco, Google is heavily rumored to announce the release of a new strain of operating system codenamed "Andromeda." The new OS is expected to combine elements of Chrome with Android. Unlike current efforts to bring support for Android apps into Chrome, however, the new Andromeda OS is expected to bring some of the desktop-like capabilities of Chrome into Android to form a super OS that could work across smartphones, tablets, and notebook-style form factors.
  • The iPhone 7 I've been waiting for - I couldn't bear another iPhone with the same, slippery design...I just couldn't. It was time to take matters into my own hands.
  • Replacement Samsung Galaxy Note7 Causes Fire On Plane - A Samsung Galaxy Note 7 caught fire on a Southwest Airlines flight in Louisville, Ky., this morning, forcing the plane to be evacuated and causing damage to the plane's carpeting. The owner, Brian Green, says the Note7 was a replacement device with a marked box indicating the phone was safe. He swapped out his original Note7 at an AT&T store on Sept. 21. Replacement phones are supposed to have safe batteries and pose no risk of fire. The phone was powered down in Green's pocket when it overheated. Green tossed the phone on the floor where it began to emit smoke and eventually caught fire. The plane was still at the gate and Southwest evacuated the aircraft. No one was injured. Samsung initially expressed doubt about the phone's status as a replacement, but said it will work with authorities to determine the cause of the fire. Samsung was forced to recall the Note7 last month amid instances of it burning owners and igniting fires.
  • Samsung to Buy AI Startup - Samsung has said it has agreed to purchase Viv, an artificial intelligence startup run by the team that originally developed Apple's Siri. Siri's creators left Apple to form Viv, which is based in San Jose. Samsung plans to add Viv's artificial intelligence technology to its own Galaxy smartphones and other consumer electronics products. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Samsung did not explain if Viv will have its own personality, or if it will be baked into Samsung's S Voice app, which is already on its phones. Samsung wants to ensure its devices can compete with the voice-activated personal assistants available on products from Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon
  • Google Chrome for Android Becomes More Efficient - Google has updated its Chrome browser for Android devices with new tools to help reduce data usage, download pages for offline use, and discover more personalized content. To start, Data Saver has expanded to video. The Data Saver tool was built into Chrome earlier this year, but until today it only targeted text and images; now, it also compresses video to reduce data over cellular networks. Google says its compression technology allows Android users to save up to 67% on data consumption when viewing MP4 format videos through Chrome. Data Saver can sense slow or limited connections, and will automatically optimize HTTP web sites down to their essentials for faster loading. The new download feature is meant to help people save web sites and other online content for later. A button added to the browser makes it simpler to download web pages, music, pictures, or video. Downloads that fail due to network interruptions will automatically resume once connectivity is restored. Further, a new section in Chrome houses users' downloaded content so it can be retrieved quickly. (Downloads will first be available in Chrome beta.) Last, Chrome will begin to recommend web sites when people open new tabs in Chrome. Google says it will recommend fresh content, the latest news, as well as help people find their saved pages, images, and video. The more people use Chrome, the more personalized the recommendations will be. Google Chrome is free to download from the Google Play Store.
  • Yahoo Secretly Scanned Customer Emails For U.S. Intelligence - Yahoo Inc last year secretly built a custom software program to search all of its customers' incoming emails for specific information provided by U.S. intelligence officials, according to people familiar with the matter.  The company complied with a classified U.S. government demand, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said three former employees and a fourth person apprised of the events.
  • Two Lizard Squad Members Charged for Role in Holiday DDoS Attacks - By now, you've probably heard of Lizard Squad, especially if you were a casualty in the DDoS attacks on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network in 2014. Since then, Finland convicted Julius Kivimaki of over 50,000 counts of cyber-crime, including harassment, fraud, and data breaches. Wednesday, two 19-year-old men, Zachary Buchta of Fallston, Md., and Bradley Jan Willem van Rooy of Leiden, the Netherlands, were charged in Chicago with conspiring to cause damage to protected computers. The charge carries a 10-year maximum sentence in prison. Both operated under the monikers of "Lizard Squad" and "PoodleCorp," and did way more than just inconvenience gamers over the 2014 holiday. The investigation began after authorities discovered phonebomber.net, a website that allowed paying customers to send repeated harassing phone calls from spoof numbers to the target of their choice. Soon after came thousands denial-of-service attacks and attacks that targeted various companies in the gaming, entertainment, and media sphere. Lizard Squad made even bigger waves when it hacked Taylor Swift's Twitter account. According to the criminal complaint, Buchta and van Rooy also conspired with other members of Lizard Squad to run cyber-attack-for-hire websites and trafficked stolen payment card account information for thousands of victims. In addition,the federal court in Chicago ordered the seizure of four domain names it believes are highly connected with the illegal activities outlined above, such as shenron.lizardsquad.org, lizardsquad.org, stresser.poodlecorp.org, and poodlecorp.org.
  • FBI iPhone Hacker Says It Can Crack Any Phone  - Cellebrite, the Israeli company that recently hacked the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone for the FBI, has told the BBC that it can crack any smartphone and gain access to all the data on the phone. Something tells me that government agencies around the world are going to keep these guys busy for a while. "We can definitely extract data from an iPhone 7 as well - the question is what data." He said that Cellebrite had the biggest research and development team in the sector, constantly working to catch up with the new technology.
  • U.S. Officially Accuses Russian Gov. Of Perpetrating DNC Email Hack - As if relations between US and Russia governments weren't sensitive enough, both the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence have officially accused Russia of being responsible for breaking into official government servers and stealing more than 19,000 emails relating to the DNC this past summer. While some US government officials, including Hillary Clinton, have already made their own accusations towards the Kremlin, this is the first time the US government as a whole has directed blame specifically. It's unclear at this time whether or not this accusation will result in new sanctions between the two countries.
  • Facebook's New Marketplace Is Your Online Garage Sale - Facebook has announced Marketplace, a dedicated place for people to sell and buy goods in their local community. Marketplace is an evolution of swap-and-sell services that have sprung up within Facebook Groups over the last few years. Facebook Marketplace is a more legitimate tool meant to help users discover, buy, and sell items with friends and neighbors. It competes with services such as Craigslist. Marketplace is located front-and-center in the main Facebook app. People can browse through Marketplace or search for specific items via categories such as electronics or furniture. Tools allow people to search in specific neighborhoods or towns, and on the flip side sellers can set the general location of their items without giving away their home address. Interested buyers can reach out to sellers through the Marketplace app to communicate about availability and price, as well as arrange drop-offs and/or pick-ups. Facebook says it does not facilitate payments or deliveries, which is up to individual buyers/sellers. Facebook Marketplace is rolling out to Android and iOS users in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. Facebook says other markets will follow over time.
  • Google Rebrands 'Google Apps' for Businesses to 'G Suite' - Google has renamed and reorganized a number of its service offerings for business customers. Moving forward, Google Apps for Work will be known as G Suite. G Suite includes Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Hangouts, and other services on PCs, smartphones, and tablets. The idea is to help workplaces communicate and collaborate more effectively on documents and other tasks. Google envisions information flowing freely between people, devices, apps, teams, and organizations. At the same time, Google improved its Docs, Sheets, and Slides apps for Android devices. Users can now retrieve deleted files more easily by finding them in the trash. Users will be given the opportunity to restore deleted files if necessary. The latest versions of Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides for Android devices are all free to download from the Google Play Store.

  • Elon Musk Explains The SpaceX Interplanetary Transport System - SpaceX Founder, CEO, and Lead Designer Elon Musk discussed his plans for a permanent, self-sustaining human presence on Mars and the technical challenges that need to be solved in order to support a long-term presence on the red planet. Musk estimated that, using traditional methods, it would cost $10 billion per person to travel to Mars, and he wants that figure to drop to roughly $200,000 per person. Eventually, the cost of a Mars move will be below $100,000, Musk said. A large part of lowering that cost is creating spaceships with reusable parts, Musk said. The ITS' in-orbit refueling stage is crucial to SpaceX's plans, since it lowers fuel expenditures at liftoff and features fully reusable boosters, tankers and ships. Each booster can be used 1,000 times; each tanker 100 times and each ship 12 times.

  • Microsoft removes Windows 10 upgrade ads - Microsoft has released an update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 that will please users who've decided to stick with an older operating system. KB3184143, as spotted by ZDNet, removes the Get Windows 10 app and all other software related to Windows 10 upgrades. The primary purpose of the Get Windows 10 app was to promote the Windows 10 free upgrade offer and try to convince as many users as possible to upgrade. However, the app's tactics were controversial: it not only advertised Windows 10 through pop-ups, but it would also sometimes install Windows 10 in the background, even if you clicked to dismiss the pop-up windows. While most advertising for Windows 10 inside older versions of Windows disappeared when the free upgrade offer ended on July 29th, the Get Windows 10 app was still deployed on most Windows 7 and 8.1 systems. KB3184143 "removes the Get Windows 10 app and other software related to the Windows 10 free upgrade offer."
  • Mamba ransomware encrypts your hard drive - Typical ransomware behavior usually involves encryption of a user's computer files after they run an executable program, or maybe a Javascript file, in order to lower suspicions. However, a new strain of ransomware goes for the bigger piece of the cake, encrypting an entire hard drive aside from the files themselves. Called Mamba or HDDCrypt, the malware was initially discovered in the Morphus Labs in Brazil. It was also found in machines in the United States and India. According to Renato Marinho, a researcher at Morphus Labs, the malware is believed to be spread through phishing emails and malicious downloads. Once it infects a machine, it overwrites the host computer's Master Boot Record (MBR) with its own variant, and from there, it will now be able to encrypt the hard drive.

The update includes fixes for several minor bugs, including an annoying problem that was causing the Lightning headphone controls to be disabled after a period of inactivity. The glitch seemed to happen randomly and could only be fixed by unplugging and re-plugging them. Reports started to emerge just days after the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus officially went on sale and to Apple’s credit the fix didn’t take too long at all. The update also solves a problem that caused the Photos app to crash when enabling iCloud Photo Library and a problem that prevented app extensions from being enabled.

Further, Samsung plans to push a software update to all Note7s to help consumers identify safe devices from those that still might pose a fire risk. Once updated, new/safe Note7 units will display a green battery icon on the status bar found on the top right hand of the screen. Samsung and the U.S. CPSC urge everyone who bought a Note7 before September 15 to power down their device.

Street Fighter V Installs Hidden Rootkit On PCs - tech
(hx) 07:24 PM CEST - Sep,24 2016 - Post a comment
An update to the newest Street Fighter game allows any application to have kernel-level privileges. While the driver was intended to prevent players from hacking the title, it allows someone to hack your entire system instead.
This means any malicious software on the system can poke a dodgy driver installed by SFV to completely take over the Windows machine. Capcom claims it uses the driver to stop players from hacking the high-def beat 'em up to cheat. Unfortunately, the code is so badly designed, it opens up a full-blown local backdoor.

Let's drill down to the technical details: the capcom.sys kernel-level driver provides an IOCTL service to applications that disables SMEP on the computer, executes code at a given pointer, and then reenables SMEP. In other words, it switches off a crucial security defense in the operating system, then runs whatever instructions are given to it by the application, and then switches the protection back on.

SMEP [PDF] is a feature in modern Intel and AMD x86 processors that, when enabled, prevents kernel-level software from executing code in user-owned memory pages. It's there to stop hackers from tricking the operating system into running malicious software smuggled into an application's virtual memory space – the OS should only be able to run its own trusted code, not anything provided by any old app.

Capcom.sys completely blows this away on Windows: an application simply has to pass control codes 0xAA012044 and 0xAA013044 to the IOCTL, and a pointer to some instructions, and the driver will then jump to that block of code with full kernel permissions.

GTX 970 owners can receive their $30 - tech
(hx) 10:05 PM CEST - Sep,12 2016 - Post a comment / read (5)
As a reminder: the lawsuit revolved around the 970’s advertised 4 GB RAM, which Nvidia had separated into a speedy 3.5 GB section and a much slower 512 MB segment. The company also said that the card had 64 render outputs, whereas it actually had 56. Nvidia claims this didn't make much difference to the card’s performance. It certainly didn’t affect sales; the 970 has been the most popular GPU among Steam users since December last year. However, the positive reception didn’t stop some users bringing the lawsuits, which allege false advertising and deceptive business practices.

To be eligible for the $30 rebate, you must have purchased a GTX 970 between September 1, 2014, and August 24, 2016, from Nvidia, its card partners – Gigabyte, ZOTAC, etc. – or an authorized retailer, and only if you bought it in the US. You may also be eligible if you purchased a desktop PC containing a 970 from an authorized retailer during this time.

You’ll need to provide proof of purchase or your device ID to file a claim. Best not hang around if you want that extra money, though; claims must be sent in by November 8.

  • Samsung Provides Note7 Exchange Details for US Customers -Samsung has launched a product exchange program for the Galaxy Note7. It says it has identified the batch of devices impacted by the battery problem and has halted all sales as a precaution. The company is offering people who bought a Note7 several options. First, customers can exchange their Note7 for a new Note7 beginning at some point next week. Second, customers can exchange the Note7 immediately for a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge. Samsung will replace any Note7-specific accessories customers may have purchased, and refund the price difference between the Note7 and S7/S7 Edge. Samsung said customers who take advantage of the exchange program will be given a $25 gift card or bill credit from the retail or carrier store. Samsung advises concerned customers to contact or visit the store in which they bought the phone. Customers may call Samsung (1-800-SAMSUNG) to resolve other concerns. The company this week recalled the device due to fires caused by malfunctioning batteries.
  • FAA Warns Consumers Not to Use Galaxy Note7 On Planes - The Federal Aviation Administration doesn't want people to use the Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphone on aircraft. "In light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note7 devices, the FAA strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage," said the FAA in a statement. Samsung recalled the device due to the possibility of fires and/or explosions caused by the battery. The company already has an exchange program in place for U.S. consumers who may have purchased the phone. Anyone who bought the phone should exchange it at their earliest convenience. Since Samsung issued the recall, the phone has been blamed for igniting fires in a garage in South Carolina and a Jeep in Florida. The house and Jeep were total losses due to the fires. Local fire authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of those blazes.

The GeForce website announces the release of GeForce Experience 3.0. NVIDIA says this new version of the companion software for their graphics cards is "rebuilt from the ground up." This is good news, as the previous version was somewhat bloated and clunky. They directly address this by claiming the new version is three times faster while consuming 50% less memory.

Apple Showcases iPhone 7 with New Home Button - tech
(hx) 11:14 PM CEST - Sep,07 2016 - Post a comment / read (1)
Apple today announced the iPhone 7, the latest version of its flagship product. The device is machines from aluminum and features a refreshed design. The home button, which owners use hundreds of times per day, is now a capacitive, force-sensitive button that works with a taptic engine to create an entirely new feedback feel. The enclosures are water and dust resistant. It rates IP67 thanks to new seals and baffles. The camera is all new. It includes a large-pixel, 12-megapixel sensor with f/1.8 aperture and six-element lens with optical image stabilization. The quad-tone LED flash helps balance skin tones and wide color gamut. An image signal processor makes billions of calculations in a fraction of a second to ensure the best photos. The camera adds stabilization to Live Photo capture, and iOS 10 permits RAW image capture both from the Apple camera app as well as third-party camera apps. The user-facing camera has a 7-megapixel sensor with wide color and image stabilization. The iPhone 7 Plus adds a second, telephoto 12-megapixel camera. The main camera has an effective focal length of 28mm, and the second has an effective focal length of 56mm for a zoomed-in effect. Apple is calling it 2x optical zoom and, when combined with digital zoom, produces higher quality photos at up to 10x zoom. The 7 Plus also includes a Bokeh effect to create better portraiture. (This feature will be added to the 7 Plus later this year.) Apple updated the displays, which it says are 25% brighter than last year's models, offer a wide color gamut, color management, and 3D Touch. For the first time, the iPhone includes stereo speakers that are twice as loud as the 2015 iPhones and have twice the dynamic range. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus remove the headphone jack and rely on just the Lightning port for audio connections. The devices will ship with Lightning earbuds, as well as a Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter. The new iPhones rely on the A10 Fusion processor, which Apple says is 40% faster than last year's A9 and twice as face as the 2014-era A8. The four-core CPU offers two high-efficiency cores that run at one-fifth the power draw for low-intensity or background tasks. Graphics are improved, too. Apple says battery life better, with the 7 providing two more hours of life per day when compared to the 6s and the 7 Plus providing one more hour when compared to the 6 Plus. The devices include LTE-Advanced for speedy wireless. The iPhone 7 comes in jet black, black, silver, gold, and rose gold. Pricing for the iPhone 7 is $649 for 32 GB, $749 for 128 GB, or $849 for 256 GB. Pricing for the iPhone 7 Plus is $769 for 32 GB, $869 for 128 GB, or $969 for 256 GB. The iPhone will be available for preorder September 9 and goes on sale September 16.

  • AMD Rockets Past 100 FreeSync Displays - AMD just broke a record with Lenovo’s Y27f, which happens to be the 101st display released that supports their FreeSync technology. As you probably already know, these monitors provide a stutter- and tear-free experience.
  • 2TB Crucial MX300 SSD Coming Soon For $550 - Amazon has become an excellent news source for unannounced products. This week, we discovered a Crucial MX300 2TB model. The MX300 uses Micron's first generation 3D flash memory. The new 32-layer 3D with three-bits per cell memory uses a high density 384Gbit die that Crucial plans to use to scale for high-capacity SSDs. The MX300 2TB is really a 2,100 GB SSD much like the 1TB is a 1,050 GB. Even with the larger-than-standard capacity size, each model still reserves spare area for background activities like garbage collection and wear leveling. This keeps the drive operating at high speeds by shuffling clean blocks into active storage for high-speed data writes.
  • CORSAIR Announces Full New Range of LUX Mechanical Keyboards - CORSAIR has announced the immediate and worldwide availability of its new LUX range of mechanical keyboards. Building on the phenomenal success of the CORSAIR K70, K70 RGB and K65, the new LUX range adds a host of new features and improvements. With enhanced lighting, USB pass-through and a back-lit optimized key cap font, CORSAIR LUX keyboards retain the core-design, premium materials and commitment to quality that has earned the CORSAIR K-series over 300 global media awards, making them the benchmark for high-performance keyboards.
  • Asus ProArt PA329Q 32-inch UHD Pro Monitor Review - A quick check online reveals that the PA328Q is selling for just under $1,000 while the PA329Q comes in around $300 higher. That extra cash buys you an Adobe RGB gamut option and an internal lookup table that reaches a 14-bit depth rather than 12. Native panel bandwidth is still 10 bits. Of course you’ll need a 10-bit-capable video board to take full advantage of this feature. When editing the latest content however, you’ll have the ability to master for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and larger color gamuts like Rec.2020.
  • Zotac ZBOX MAGNUS EN980 SFF PC Review - An Innovative VR-Ready Gaming Powerhouse - The Zotac ZBOX MAGNUS EN980's system performance and VR-ready GPU configuration should satisfy the vast majority of gaming enthusiasts. We have a compact unit that is able to properly support a high-end desktop GPU while maintaining excellent thermal and acoustic parameters. Pretty much the only people who might find it unattractive are those who tend to upgrade components selectively over the lifespan of their gaming system, or DIY enthusiasts who want the latest and greatest in choice of components for their PC build.
  • Fantom ransomware pretends to be Windows Update - A new strain of ransomware has been discovered, which utilizes a fake Windows Update screen, pretending to install a critical update. In reality, it is encrypting user's files. Discovered by Jakub Kroustek of AVG Technologies, the 'Fantom' ransomware plays tricks on potential victims by dropping an executable program named 'a.exe.' To cloak its malicious activity, the file's properties state that it contains a 'critical update' for Windows Update. A 2016 copyright from Microsoft is even written, to even lower suspicions.  Once the program is executed, it will extract and run another application under the name 'WindowsUpdate.exe.' This will display what looks like a screen configuring Windows Updates, complete with a percentage meter, and a reminder not to turn off the PC. The screen is designed to look like the ones many go through to install legitimate updates, in order to make victims think that there is nothing wrong going on. Once it is displayed, the program will not let the user switch applications.  As the screen pretends to 'configure Windows Updates,' it is silently encrypting files in the background like other ransomware variants. Once done, it will generate a random AES-128 key, which will be uploaded to the malware's Command & Control (C&C) server. It targets a wide number of file extensions, where a '.fantom' file extension will be appended to.
  • Rare iOS spyware caught in the wild exploiting three zero-day flaws -Researchers at Citizen Lab, a team that investigates surveillance technology, and Lookout Inc. claim that a little-known Israeli startup exploited unknown flaws in iOS to help foreign governments spy on their citizens. As The Wall Street Journal points out, the surveillance software in question came from NSO Group Technologies Ltd. which is known to sell to governments. Researchers first became aware of the software earlier this month through a link sent to a human-rights activist in the United Arab Emirates. The software, dubbed Pegasus, reportedly takes advantage of three flaws in iOS. Once installed, it acts as a surveillance device and can log messages, track movement and siphon personal data.  
  • Apple Pushes iOS 9.3.5 to Patch Security Holes - Apple has made iOS 9.3.5 available to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod. The update, according to Apple, resolves three security issues. Two of the problems could have led to remote code execution. Apple suggests all users update as soon as possible. The update is free to download over the air.
  • Opera Brings Its Mobile VPN to Android Devices - Opera Software today launched a free VPN for Android devices that allows smartphone and tablet 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 includes a WiFi tester that can detect the strength of WiFi security. If the VPN determines the network isn't secure, it will recommend users connect through the VPN. The WiFi sniffer also checks to see if the network its public or private, if it's encrypted, how many other devices are using it, if the IP address/location are exposed, and whether or not others can see your device. 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 is free to downloaded from the Google Play Store. Opera made the same VPN available to iOS devices earlier this year.
  • WhatsApp will share data with Facebook for targeted user ads - Existing users will be prompted in the next few days to agree to the new terms. If you don't want to share your data with Facebook, however, you can opt out. Opting out is simple: when you are notified to agree to the new terms, tap the read more pane at the bottom. You will then see a checkbox; unticking it will disable sharing data with Facebook
  • Sprint Adds High-Quality Video Option to Unlimited Plan - Sprint today moved to appease its video-loving customers with an add-on that provides unlimited HD video streaming. The Unlimited Freedom Premium plan costs $80 per month for a single line or $140 for two lines and includes 1080p HD high-quality video, music streaming at 1.5Mbps, and gaming at up to 8Mbps. The plan supplements the Unlimited Freedom plan, which costs $60 per month but includes only 480p standard-definition video streaming, 500Kbps music streaming, and 2Mbps gaming. Sprint said for a limited time customers who sign up for the Unlimited Freedom plan will be upgraded to the Unlimited Freedom Premium plan (through 10/31) at no extra cost.
  • PlayStation Plus price increased in U.S. - PlayStation Plus membership prices will change to $59.99 USD / $69.99 CAD for twelve months and $24.99 USD /$29.99 CAD for three months in the U.S. and Canada starting on September 22, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced.

  • Watch Natalie Portman and Lily-Rose Depp in the Planetarium Trailer - The setting is Paris in the 1930s where two sisters, American spiritualists Laura (Portman, who also appears at this year's Festival in Jackie) and Kate Barlow (Depp), are winding up a world tour. Seemingly adept at communicating with the dead, the women are somewhat less experienced with the business of the living. Nevertheless, their astonishing exhibit of apparently supernatural powers piques the interest of powerful French film producer André Korben (Emmanuel Salinger), who retains their strange talents for his wildly ambitious new film project. Laura and Kate are soon swept up in a scheme that, fusing art and the occult, portends a dark shadow soon to be cast over all of Europe.
  • Abattoir (2016) Theatrical Trailer | Jessica Lowndes, Joe Anderson - From the director of Saw 2, 3 and 4 and Repo! The Genetic Opera, Abattoir asks: how do you build a haunted house?

And you certainly can't do it with a script. But I'll probably watch... *sigh

Google Officially Releases Android 7 Nougat - tech
(hx) 08:53 AM CEST - Aug,23 2016 - Post a comment / read (2)
Google today made the final version of Android 7.0 Nougat available to developers, phone makers, and select devices. Google released the first developer build of Nougat earlier this year and has been refining the platform ever since. Today marks the official release of the platform, which moves out of beta. The next-generation mobile operating system includes support for Vulkan to improve graphics performance for games, but it also improves the Android runtime to speed up daily use. For example, apps should install 75% faster while requiring 50% less code. On the security front, Nougat introduces file-based encryption to better isolate and protect individual users. It also hardened the media framework to prevent attacks. Nougat offers seamless security updates that happen automatically in the background with no user action required. Google made improvements to the multitasking functions, with multi-window mode available to all. Nougat will show only the most recent seven apps and moves the "clear all" tool to the top of the screen to prevent accidental closings. Nougat overhauls notifications, providing direct control over silencing certain types of notifications. The platform adds Unicode 9.0 for an expanded set of emoji, including skin-tone variations. Last, Nougat bakes in more direct support for virtual reality. Nougat is available to the Nexus 6, 5X, 6P, 9, and Pixel C devices.

  • AMD Further Unveils Zen Processor Details - Live from Sunny San Francisco at AMD's Zen processor event, we bring you details of AMD's new high-end CPU and the first benchmarks EVER versus Intels Broadwell-E!
  • Intel SSD 540s Review - Performance aside, the new 540s brings mainstream features with it. Hardware-based 256-bit encryption is standard on this drive. Customers no longer need to look at Intel's Pro Series SSD lineup to get the encryption features required for many industries. The 540s also ships with a five-year warranty.
  • Gigabyte Releases Three GTX 1060 3 GB Graphics Cards - The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 3G graphics card is the flagship of the 3 GB variants of the GTX 1060, with the highest base and boost clock rates of the three. It has a 1,594 MHz base frequency with a 1,809 MHz boost clock rating in Gaming mode, which increases to 1,620 MHz and 1,847 MHz, respectively, in OC mode. OC mode, along with other performance and aesthetic tweaks, can be configured using the included Xtreme Engine Utility software.
  • Intel Believes USB Type-C Will Replace 3.5mm Jack - A planned update to the USB Type-C specification will give it more control over audio functions, paving the way for it to fully supplant the 3.5mm headphone jack on most phones. Speaking at the Intel Developers Forum, engineers Brad Saunders and Rahman Ismail explained that the new USB audio standard lowers power usage through USB and defines how buttons on headphones can control music. The standard "will really make USB Type-C the right connector for audio," said Saunders. The 3.5mm headset jack is universally available on most consumer electronics, but is decades old. Dropping the jack will free up internal space, lowers the potential for interference, and negates the need for a digital-to-analog converter. Moreover, Saunders says the updated spec allows for software-based audio effects and signal processing that can, for example, cancel out nearby noise. Last, the updated USB-C spec improves support for video. Saunders says the new video capabilities will be good for working on a PC or watching a movie, but not necessarily for graphics-intensive gaming. USB-C is slowly gaining traction in smartphones. Samsung's Galaxy Note7 made the switch to USB-C, as did HTC 10, LG G5, and just-announced Huawei Honor 8. The connector is slim and reversible, and Type-C cables can push power in both directions
  • Samsung Accessories Land Alongside Note7 - The Samsung Galaxy Note7 reaches U.S. stores today and with it some interesting accessories and companion products from Samsung. The new Gear VR headset, which is compatible with the Note7 and other recent Galaxy phones, has a new look, new color, and expanded field of view. It's available for $100 at carrier stores, as well as Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung. The Gear 360 camera (pictured), able to shoot 360-degree photos and video, will only be available online for $350. Samsung's Gear IconX wireless earbuds are available, too. These $200 headphones are fully wireless, have built-in memory, and can track workouts. The less expensive Samsung Level Active headphones are sweat proof and can control music/calls for $100. Last, the Samsung Connect auto provides an AT&T-backed in-car hotspot via the OBD II port. The Connect auto can also send alerts to the driver and improve driving safety/efficiency. AT&T will sell the Samsung Connect auto online and in stores.

  • Google is killing off Chrome apps on Windows, macOS, and Linux - Google today announced on the Chromium blog that it would be ending support for Chrome apps on Windows, macOS, and Linux. According to Google, the company launched Chrome apps three years ago to bridge the gap between what could be done on the web and what could be done with a native application. Since then, APIs have been developed that allow web apps to do more, such as use push notifications.
  • Google Building Non-Linux OS Called Fuchsia - Google is working on a new operating system called Fuchsia. The open-source platform is the first from Google that does not rely on Linux at its core. Instead, the operating system runs the Magenta kernel and, according to the documentation, it relies on the Flutter user interface and Dart programming language. The platform appears to be intended as an embedded operating system for IoT devices, but it can also run on smartphones and PCs. Google hasn't said much about the project, but the platform is available in pieces via GitHub. It's unclear if or when Google might release a complete, final version of the operating system.

  • Microsoft makes PowerShell open source, brings it to Linux and Mac OS X - As anticipated, Microsoft has made PowerShell open source and available on Linux, further driving Satya Nadella’s vision of an open, customer-centric company that’s willing to work with the competition. PowerShell, for those not up to speed, is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language that’s built on the .NET framework. It’s designed to assist IT professionals in automating and controlling the administration of Windows (and now, Linux) and the apps that run on them.
  • MIT Spinout Claims to Double Battery Life - A company called SolidEnergy Systems, a spinout from MIT, says it has new battery technology that will double the life of lithium-based power cells. The breakthrough involves a battery that replaces the traditional graphite anode with a thin, lithium-metal foil. The foil can hold more ions and thus more potential energy. Further, new chemistry protects the lithium-metal so it can be recharged frequently and used at normal temperatures. The company says it can create small batteries that provide as much charge as larger batteries, or it can double the life of larger batteries. Perhaps most importantly, SolidEnergy's technology was founded on a failed MIT startup called A123. SolidEnergy has taken over A123's Massachusetts-based facilities and claims it can mass produce the new lithium-metal batteries in volume. In fact, it plans to produce batteries for drones as soon as November, with batteries for smartphones to follow in early 2017. Battery-life breakthroughs are common in research settings, but often can't scale for use in the real world. SolidEnergy's technology and manufacturing progress appear to be further along than most.
  • AT&T's Mobile Share Advantage Plans Drop Overages - AT&T today announced new service plans for multiple lines that do away with overage charges. The Mobile Share Advantage program includes unlimited talk and text in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, rollover data, sharable data, mobile hotspot, and unlimited texting to more than 120 other countries. Rather than charge customers overage fees for exceeding their monthly data allotments, AT&T will throttle users back to 2G, or about 128 Kbps, for the remainder of the billing cycle. This is in line with what competitors do. Data plans now start at 1 GB and range up to 100 GB for families, and from 25 GB to 200 GB for businesses. AT&T said new options make the plans more flexible, such as the addition of 6 GB and 10 GB data buckets. Smartphone access charges are now a flat fee of $20 per device. Device payments are extra. The new Mobile Share Advantage plans will be available starting August 21.

  • Toshiba Begins to Sample eMLC-Based ZD6300 7.68 TB SSDs to Customers - Toshiba has quietly expanded its ZD6300 family of SSDs with a 7.68 TB model, its most capacious storage device announced to date. The new drive was designed for mixed workloads and uses Toshiba’s time-proven A19 eMLC NAND flash memory. Due to enhanced endurance and a lot of NAND used for overprovisioning, the SSD can be pre-ordered for approximately $12,000, depending on the seller, though its official MSRP is still unknown.
  • Western Digital to Use 3D ReRAM as Storage Class Memory for Special-Purpose SSDs - To sum up, Western Digital has finished development of ReRAM, which SanDisk has been discussing for several years now. The company plans to release actual products based on ReRAM in the foreseeable future (12 – 24 months from now, call it a guess) and to use the same fab and equipment to build ReRAM and NAND ICs. Western Digital’s ReRAM has a roadmap for the future. What remains to be seen is what is going to happen to the joint development of SCM announced by SanDisk and HP in October, 2015.
  • North American Businesses Reluctant To Adopt Windows 10 - Based on an evaluation of more than 400,000 Windows-based computing devices between January and May this year, across 169 organizations in the US and Canada using the TechCheck asset management solution, the study reveals less than one percent were running Windows 10. It finds the vast majority of North American businesses adopted Windows 7 as the corporate platform-of-choice since moving away from Windows XP, and have yet to move in significant quantities to newer versions Windows 8 or 10. "It appears businesses are hesitant to take advantage of the various Windows 10 upgrades and, at least for now, are satisfied with Windows 7," says David Brisbois, Softchoice's senior manager of assessment and technology deployment services consulting.
  • Monitors Are Vulnerable To Hijacking And Spying - Researchers have found a way to hack into monitors so they can see what is being displayed, as well as manipulate pixels so they can display different images. One billion monitors are reportedly susceptible, as most use the same processor that is vulnerable to this exploit.
  • Google Maps Gains New Offline/Roaming Powers - Google today launched two new features for Google Maps for Android: a Wi-Fi Only mode, and the option to store offline map data on removable memory cards. Together, the two features are especially useful for those traveling overseas, where data roaming is expensive. The Wi-Fi Only mode allows users to stay connected to data networks for functions like email, while avoiding data charges for mapping, relying instead only on offline map data previously downloaded, and on Wi-Fi service when available. Users can also download extensive map data before their trip - or over Wi-Fi while traveling - and store it on a removable memory card for navigation without using mobile data while roaming. The features are also useful for non-traveling users with limited data plans or spotty service locally. The company did not announce whether the Wi-Fi Only mode will come to Google Maps for iOS

More interesting to me is the suggestion for using a DualShock controller, which may allude to official support coming.
