  1. Earlier today, Google launched an automatic update for its Chrome web browser, bringing it up to version 23. Now the company has revealed just what has been included in their latest web browser release, and one of the new features is something that the company has been promising for a while. In a post on the official Chrome blog, Google said that Chrome 23 now has a "Do Not Track" setting. Google released earlier developer versions of Chrome with this new feature earlier this year, but this is the first version of the official Chrome Stable build that will include "Do Not Track". In its blog today, Google said, "The effectiveness of such requests is dependent on how websites and services respond, so Google is working with others on a common way to respond to these requests in the future." As we have reported in the past, Microsoft decided to make Do Not Track as the default option for Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 8 and Windows RT. This decision has been opposed by a number of companies, mainly Internet advertisers who claim that move by Microsoft will "undercut thriving business models, and reduce the availability and diversity of the Internet products." Today's new version of Chrome also has some performance improvements for Windows-based PCs, specifically for viewing videos. Google states: Source: Google Chrome Blog
  2. Less than two weeks ago, Microsoft released the first version of its Xbox SmartGlass app for Windows 8 and also for Android devices. Microsoft promised at the time that the app would be coming to iOS devices and today, that promise was fulfilled. The iOS App Store now shows that Microsoft's Xbox SmartGlass app is available for download for Apple's iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices. As with the Android port, this new iOS app replaces the previously released My Xbox Live app for iOS products. This new app will allow iOS users to gain direct remote control of their Xbox 360 game console. That includes typing in URLs for the console's new Internet Explorer feature, along with pausing, playing and more functions for the video player. It will also let users change their Xbox Live avatar, search through the Xbox 360's library of music, video and games and lots more. Windows Phone 8 devices will have a version of Xbox SmartGlass as well, and we suspect it will be ready by the time the first devices with Microsoft's mobile OS are ready to go on sale in the US later this week, via AT Source: iOS App Store

  7. Hackers have published a collection of what they say is over a million Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), connected with Apple iPhones and iPads. The data, claims the hackers, is just part of a larger database of 12,367,232 UDIDs, and personal information such as full names, cellphone numbers, addresses and zipcodes belonging to Apple customers. The data was allegedly stolen via a Java vulnerability from a laptop belonging to an FBI cybersecurity agent: "During the second week of March 2012, a Dell Vostro notebook, used by Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl from FBI Regional Cyber Action Team and New York FBI Office Evidence Response Team was breached using the AtomicReferenceArray vulnerability on Java, during the shell session some files were downloaded from his Desktop folder one of them with the name of â€ÂNCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv†turned to be a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc. the personal details fields referring to people appears many times empty leaving the whole list incompleted on many parts. no other file on the same folder makes mention about this list or its purpose." Quite why the FBI was collecting the UDIDs and personal information of millions of iPhone and iPad users is not yet clear - but it's obvious that the data (and the computer it was apparently stored on) was not adequately secured. I suppose we should be pleased that the hackers have not, as yet, published the majority of the information they claim to have purloined from the FBI though the hack - including the personal information about members of the public. As such, my suspicion is that the hackers were more interested in embarrassing the FBI's team than endangering innocent users. All the same, hacking into computers is a criminal act - and I would anticipate that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies will be keen to hunt down those responsible. Mitt Romney, journalists wearing tutus, and a shoe on head If it helps cut down the number of suspects at all, here's a clue to help the FBI with their investigation. Attached to the end of the hackers' announcement is the following phrase in German: "Romney aber, sag's ihm, er kann mich im Arsche lecken!" This translates into English as: "Romney, however, tell him he can kiss the asses!" Clearly not a fan of the Republican party then.. And someone else that the hackers aren't huge fans of is Gawker journalist Adrian Chen. Chen has become something of a bête noire for the likes of 4Chan and Anonymous. Whoever was responsible for the latest hack says that they will only agree to speak to the press if a photo of Chen, dressed as a ballerina with a shoe on his head, is published on the main page of Gawker. The whole "shoe on the head" thing is a 4Chan meme - victims are told they have to take a photograph of themselves wearing a shoe on their head for the amusement of hackers. Whatever tickles your fancy I suppose.. Source: Naked Security
  8. Users who have downloaded copyrighted music, video and other content through a BitTorrent client within the last three years have likely had their IP address logged by monitoring companies, according to research by Tom Chothia and colleagues at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. They will present their conclusions this week at the SecureComm conference in Italy. Monitoring of popular BitTorrent files is so prevalent, in fact, that the researchers concluded that most users will have their IP addresses logged by copyright-enforcement authorities within three hours of download. Chothia and team set up a fake pirate server online to perform their research for more than the past two years. They were able to measure "the activity of 1,033 swarms across 421 trackers for 36 days over 2 years," and over 150 GB of BitTorrent traffic data, according to the full paper (PDF file). The researchers were able to identify monitoring companies by comparing the download progression of users on the BitTorrent files. While a "regular" peer user's client will download the BitTorrent data in a steady progression toward completion, a monitoring peer downloaded data randomly over time, to give the illusion of activity to cover the companies' true intent. Additionally, they found that using blocklists was not an effective practice for preventing being watched and logged by the monitoring companies. While the researchers were able to match some IP addresses of suspected monitoring companies with those on some blocklists, they found both false positives and false negatives on the lists.

  9. Mozilla has already launched version 15 of the Firefox web browser for PC, Mac and Linux users, but that's not the only new or updated project the company launched this week. Mozilla has also launched a new version of Firefox for Android smartphones and tablets. The Google Play store now has Firefox 15 available for download. The change log reveals that the new version has an updated user interface made especially for Android-based tablets. It also allows users to switch between a web site's desktop and (if available) mobile web version from the menu, which should please heavy Neowin users. Firefox 15 for Android will also allow for users to import the bookmarks and history from a device's regular web browser. Tabs have also been improved, adding a "swipe to close" feature. As if that were not enough, Mozilla has also launched a new and free browser based first person shooter called BananaBread (yeah, we have no idea either). The project was created as a concept to make a FPS style game using C and OpenGL code and running on Javascript and WebGL. The Quake III Arena-style game has three levels to choose from, where players battle against bots, with five different weapons available. The game can be played with the desktop version of Firefox 15, along with Chrome. However, it won't work on Internet Explorer because it currently doesn't support WebGL. The BananaBread page states, "Please ask Microsoft to support it." Source: Neowin

  13. According to a number of posts over on the MDL forums, the server that was allowing activations of all the leaked RTM images has now been either taken offline or blocked for new requests. Information has since come to light that the server was located in Russia, and allowed hundreds of activations before being taken offline. It's unclear what action was taken, either by Microsoft or the owner of the Key Management Server (KMS); but judging from the posts over on MDL, it seems that anyone trying to activate Windows 8 illegally on that server will be disappointed. To recap, yesterday messages started appearing on Twitter that it was possible to activate all four of the leaked Windows 8 images that were leaked over the weekend, including the earlier leaked Enterprise "N" version by pointing the activation sequence to a server located in Russia. It probably won't be the last we hear of leaks and bypasses, but for now it appears it's a win for Microsoft. Windows 8 will be made available on August 15th for MSDN and TechNet subscribers, and on October 26th for retail purchase. Although pricing has yet to be confirmed, a rumor suggests that Windows 8 Pro could be made available for around $70 dollars, or at the confirmed $39,95 upgrade time-limited offer. Source: Neowin

  15. Google has beefed up its built-in calculator function, adding an interface with 34 buttons. When a user types a sum such as "2 + 2" or "4 x 5", they are now confronted by the visual interface shown above. Previously, Google would simply spit out the answer as text. The calculator includes functions for processing sines, cosines, and tangents as well as dedicated buttons for Pi and Euler's number. According to an official Google Twitter account, the company began rolling out the latest stage, 3.9, of its Panda algorithm update last night, but it is not clear whether the addition of the calculator is connected. The calculator is one of a number of features implemented in recent months which seem designed to shift Google's role away from that of a simple search engine and towards a new position as a general tool for answers. You can also do graphs formulas such as cos(12x) Source: The Verge
  16. i am relatively young lol 29 here
  17. I used Thuderbird for years but recently moved to evolution just purely out of laziness being that its the default mail client in OpenSuSe
  18. As many of you might already know, today is supposed to be the day that tens of thousands of people in the US could lose their access to the Internet. This is due to a malware program called DNSChanger, which redirected those infected PCs to rogue servers. The FBI actually shut down this malware operation some time ago, but kept the servers alive so those PCs with the DNSChanger program could keep their net access. Today, the FBI is supposed to shut down those servers. Estimates are that around 64,000 PCs in the US could be infected by the malware and as such their net access could be disabled once those servers go down. However, the Wall Street Journal reports that large US IPS have pledged to help their customers with DNSChanger maintain their Internet connection. Source: http://online.wsj.co...2710139518.html
  19. I think its quite funny how supposedly the site has gone to the dogs and yet the people on the thread here slating it and the ones that ask for the most help on here I am sure err0r will agree if you don't like the site and the way it works then don't use it, no one is forcing you to come here. TG007 is a site i check on a daily basis, i have been on here for many years now and will continue to use it for many years Yes it started out as a place where people got help with scripts etc and yes it has changed but site need to change and evolve or they wither and die (not mentioning anyone in particular) I think some people need to realise what the internet is and get an actual life outside of it, get a grip your acting like a child
