Google Glasses: Still a Dream I decided to let things cool down and see what people think about it. At least, from where I stand, Project Glass is what it should be – a project and I don’t think we’ll see those fantastic glasses any time soon. If you ask me, I think Google and companies alike should focus on solving stringent issues of our digital lifes before luring us with almost hollow promises....

According to the 2019 (ISC)2 “Women in Cybersecurity Report,” women comprise 24 percent of the industry. This is compared to the 10 percent that was estimated in 2015 by a Frost & Sullivan report co-sponsored by (ISC)2. While there seems to be a positive change, we should put things into context: women make up 47 percent of the labor force across all sectors in the United States. According to Liz Mann, a 25-year industry veteran, one of the challenges is the fact that not as many young women pursue higher education in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields in general....

Instant messaging works differently. Messages are sent over the Internet through the servers of whichever company runs the service. As such, you need an Internet connection to communicate, whereas, with SMS, your device needs cellular network data. IM was first popularized on desktop computers by services. Like AOS, AIM, ICQ, and eventually Talk, the forerunner to Hangouts. Though IM has been on Android for a while, Google’s most ambitious foray was through Hangouts....

We hear from readers all the time who are still storing important documents, photos and videos on thumb drives. What happens if you squirrel that drive away somewhere and can’t find it? That’s right. Those files are gone, too. Don’t take the chance. Most online backup services allow you to store almost anything, but people often wonder what specific programs need to be backed up and which ones don’t. Should you backup certain software programs as well?...

Ignore the updates and you’re leaving your device at risk of major issues. Updates add new features to the mix and patch any problem areas or security issues that are found. A recent Windows update came with tons of cool features. Tap or click here to check them out. But while updates are necessary, they don’t always work as they should. Some can cause bigger issues than the ones they’re meant to fix — which is what’s happening right now with a new Windows update....

Scale is important in the telecom industry, there’s no doubt about that. The larger the number of subscribers you have, easier it is to spread the costs of running the network. However, it’s also important to note that inorganic growth hardly ever helps in the long run especially in low margin markets such as India where customers are finicky and jump ship everytime they find a better offer elsewhere. Jio’s infatuation with having a large subscriber base is understandable....

At the WWDC 2022 event, Apple also showcased the upcoming macOS Ventura features, like an improved search option, new search design, live caption support across audio content, and more.

Around early January 2010, the botnet was dismantled by Neustar employees, who contacted various Lethic internet service providers in a bid to take control of the botnet’s command and control servers. This move temporarily caused the botnets’ spam to decrease to a trickle of its original volume. In February 2010, the owners of the botnet managed to re-establish control over the botnet, using new command and control servers located in the United States....

Software escrow is usually requested by the buyers, who intend to ensure the continuity of the software maintenance over time, even if the software house that has developed the application goes out of the business or fails to maintain and update the code. The buyer has two options when acquiring software: he can request the developers to give the source code of the up-to-date versions they release, or request that the source code is assigned to a third party under an “escrow agreement....

There have been reports of Jio producing a VoLTE feature phone. Some people have expressed their thoughts on why they think a VoLTE feature phone from Jio makes no sense at all. To some extent, they’re right, after all, a 4G network and a feature phone are diagonally opposite. On one hand, a 4G network is the very best in telecom technology whereas a feature phone seems outdated like the 2G networks they run on....

PhoneArena recently published a rumor that hit the internet like a lightening bolt. They say that the next Nexus phone, which they’re calling the Nexus 5, will have a camera that has Nikon branding. This rumor just doesn’t feel right to me, for multiple reasons. First, Nikon tried to build their own Android powered camera, the COOLPIX S800c. It failed because it was slow, had terrible specifications, and ran an ancient version of Android....

Gmail offers more capabilities for attaching files, as you can only insert an attachment from Drive or your camera roll. Or if for some reason, you want to, you’re able to draw a scribble with your finger on iOS. Developers can embed access to other cloud services, but with Android, it’s there by default. All the user has to do is install their favorite service on their device. Which appears in the file picker menu....

iPads, MacBooks, and iPhones suddenly stop charging, and the owners try different chargers and cables with no success. They start pointing fingers at the battery and think it’s time for a replacement (battery or device). Also: How to build a winter emergency kit (and why you should) And then, later in the day, the device suddenly starts charging again, and everything seems fine. It’s like the problem just fixed itself....

All such guidelines and standards have the common purpose of improving InfoSec. As InfoSec experts, many of them are our tools of choice, and our knowledge of them is highly respected across all industries (and very much sought after: in 2015 there were over 200,000 cybersecurity vacancies in the US alone). Even so, throughout the 30 years I have been in the security field I have faced repeated difficulty getting traction for security inside of a business....

I mean, you needed advertising to sell cellphones, dearies. People had budgets running into billions and here were these Chinese saying they would not spend a paisa! What was more amazing, but, was that they sold so many phones actually. Without any major ads in papers. Some of the e-commerce shopping places like that cart that flips and that South American river place did carry their ads and publicised them, but even that was so little compared to what Sammy and EllGee were doing, you know....

The debate saw familiar arguments used for and against the proposal: Crypto is an environmental disaster, reputational risk from being seen to approve of ecological destruction and endorsing the crypto community; against claims that proof of stake would fix the environmental concerns and fiat money isn’t completely green either, and crypto is safer for anonymous use. During the debate, the foundation said in its prior fiscal year, cryptocurrency made up only 0....
