Several possible new features have been mentioned, but a new one has arrived. The front camera of the iPhone 8 can bring a 3D sensor, which can detect depth and make the facial recognition. This new rumor comes from a source which has in the past revealed in advance many of the features that Apple introduced. KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has now revealed that the tech giant Apple will be preparing to introduce a 3D sensor on the new iPhone that will strengthen the front camera....

In 2006, Jeff Howe coined the concept of crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is an act of outsourcing a job, previously done by workers, to a large group of people in the form of an open call. Nowadays, crowdsourcing is used by many commercial and public organizations. A widely known example of an organization using crowdsourcing is Wikipedia Foundation Inc. It is a non-profit charitable organization maintaining an online encyclopedia called Wikipedia. Wikipedia allows any internet user to edit its articles....

Security on our smartphones and tablets, the devices that hold plenty of attention about us, is an incredibly hot topic as of late. With programs from a variety of agencies and organizations built to track, mine and otherwise store data collected from mobile devices, especially our smartphones, it’s a conversation that will not go away for quite some time. Now, a new topic has been revealed, with documents revealed by Edward Snowden, that showcases plans for the National Security Agency (NSA) and Five Eyes Allies (organizations in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom) to essentially hijack the Google Play Store to inject malicious software on smartphones and tablets that download apps from the digital storefront....

The YotaPhone 2, with its dual-display design, was shown off in early December 2014, and has recently gone on sale in Europe with plans to bring the device to the United States never hidden. However, whether or not the device would find its way onto the network of a carrier still remained up in the air. It would certainly be a boon for the small manufacturer, especially if the device launched on one of the major wireless networks....

Recently the RansomFree tool was released, which according to information, aims to protect our PC from all types of Ransomware. RansomFree tool was developed by the security company Cybereason. According to the company, RansomFree can block about 99% of Ransomware variants. For this, “misleading behavioral techniques” are used to detect and block Ransomware. What is ransomware? Ransomware is a computer threat that in recent times has come to “haunt” thousands of users around the world....

The design makes a lot of sense, as the Nexus 6 is said to to feature a 5.9 display, giving it a larger screen than both the Galaxy Note 4 ione 6 us. It also matches previous leaks, as the Motorola-built device looks like a much-larger Moto X. One peculiarity is the messaging icon, which could be a reboot of the main SMS/MMS app that ships on some Android phones, yet was nixed on the Nexus 5 in favor of Hangouts....

Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, the company’s first attempt at a smart watch, wasn’t exactly well received by the market. It shipped with hilariously premature software that crippled the battery life and made notifications useless. It also shipped with support for only smartphone, the Galaxy Note 3. It doesn’t matter that the software got better and compatibility increased a month or two after the product started shipping, because people read the initial Gear reviews, got a bad taste in their mouths, and decided to skip the watch....

And with each passing year, these little slabs of glass and plastic become more deeply integrated into our daily lives as they launch new features to let us track our health, pay for our groceries, start our cars, scan our way onto the train and much more. They’ve become so omnipresent in our lives that we – consciously or not – now think about them the way we think about our clothes or our shoes....

Once that’s all decided, it will migrate the requested data. You’ll be able to set up and explore your new Pixel. While that takes place, Google doesn’t say how long the process will take. Which will obviously depend on how much data you’re moving.

Honor, Huawei’s sub-brand, teased the incoming View 20 smartphone earlier this month. And now the handset is officially official. The Honor V20 is another powerful handset filled to the brim with noteworthy features, all packaged together in a handset that won’t break the bank for many future owners. There is a 6.4-inch LCD display with 1080p HD resolution, and a Kirin 980 processor under the hood. There are two variants, one with 6GB of RAM and the other with 8GB....

This Bug Gave Users Access To Strangers’ Google Photos Have you saved your private photos in Google Photos? If so, then you should know that recently, the security researchers have found a critical error in this well-known storage service Google Photos with Android TV. As through Android TV, you can access private images of other users, which are hosted in Google Photos, and that should only be visible to the users who are ‘associated’ in shared albums....

On Thursday, researchers from BlackBerry Threat Research & Intelligence team, together with Intezer security researcher Joakim Kennedy, published a blog post on the malware – dubbed Symbiote because of its “parasitic nature.” The team discovered Symbiote several months ago. Symbiote differs from today’s typical Linux malware, which normally will attempt to compromise running processes, and instead acts as a shared object (SO) library that is loaded on all running processes via LD_PRELOAD....

From Stanford comes the news of a new battery of water to store clean energy. A rechargeable hydrogen-manganese battery is designed for network storage: it has high capacity and long life and promises low costs. Large-scale storage of electricity has taken root in the energy market. Today, storage devices such as lithium-ion, lead-acid, redox and liquid metal batteries offer a future for the industry by increasing investments. On the other hand, all these options, in one form or another, are still far from meeting the storage needs of the network....

Each organization has its own unique security requirements. Therefore, what may work for one entity may not necessarily work for another. In other words, security models simply cannot be just replicated and expected to work the same each and every time. What is needed is a coherent and unified set of guiding principles and best practices. One such example of principle is what is known as the “Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense....

Also: Why my Garmin Enduro 2’s LED flashlight is my favorite feature The Instinct Crossover provides long battery life and rugged features with a classy iconic design....

The reason why it’s necessary for gaming laptops to have interchangeable innards is the fact that gamers are used to computers that can be easily upgradable to run whatever’s new in the gaming world. Even on a standard high-end gaming laptop, there’s a possibility you won’t be able to play the latest titles two or in a few cases, one year down the road. On the other hand, there’s the Alienware Area-51m....

For me, the reason for this instant stardom is easily discernible. The firm’s founder Alakh Pandey has led his company in ways that have been strikingly dissimilar to the rest of the fray and offer some key lessons to entrepreneurs in any sector or discipline. Growing up in Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Pandey was forced into tutoring students in lower grades when his father fell ill and wasn’t able to provide for the family....

This type of technology challenges the technological concepts that, for centuries, regulated the market. In digital cameras, lenses are used to direct light to a digital sensor. The optical phase matrix or OPA has a set of light receptors that can individually create a time delay up to a few minutes, allowing the camera to be able to see multiple directions and focus on different objects. Is it the future of what we know today by chamber?...

TNW Conference 2012: What I Saw The Next Web Conference. Getting there didn’t represent a problem, thanks to the helpful tram rails in Amsterdam. Once I got there, I was greeted by a sign that told me where to head to for the conference. Being the first time here, I got excited about it. This year, the conference is held in quite an exotic venue that looks good both from the outside as from the inside....

You’ll see a large, red bar warn you when there’s an incoming call that thinks is potential spam. You’re then able to reject it, report the number to , or choose to answer the call. To get this working, says you need to enable caller ID update to the latest version....
