PETER HUGHES. Citizenship Test Mark II – How much juice can you squeeze out of an orange?
It seems that Coalition governments have developed a habit of squeezing the citizenship "orange" for political advantage when there are some community concerns about migrants. Last week's announcement by the Turnbull Coalition government, at a time of poor government performance … Continue reading

Sustainable Minerals Operations in the Developing Worldby Brian Marker
Pub. Date: 11/30/2005
Publisher: Geological Society Publishing House
The sustainable development of minerals, which are non-renewable resources, is a major challenge in today's world. In this regard the true definition of 'sustainability' is a debating point in itself: can such a concept exist with respect to non-renewable resources? Perhaps the ideal sustainability model is one that minimizes negative environmental impact and maximizes benefits to society, the economy and regional/national development. Developed and near-developed economies rely for commodity supplies on developing countries where major mining operations are often a mainstay of the domestic economy. Limited environmental regulation and low wages lead to charges of exploitation. Also, large numbers of people have no alternative to living by informal, often dangerous, 'artisanal' mining. This Special Publication gives examples from developing countries from all scales of mineral extraction. The volume reviews environmental, economic, health and social problems and highlights the need to solve these before sustainability can be achieved. The better solutions require mutual understanding, through full involvement of all stakeholders, education, training and investment so that small-scale and artisanal mines can grow into well-managed operations. At larger scales, most major international mining companies have now improved their practices and are monitoring their progress, although there is no room for complacency in this rapidly changing area.

John Boos Mystery OilFREE SHIPPING OVER $50
- Protects countertops, table tops and cutting boards against cracking and warping
- Food safe and NSF certified
- Proprietary blend of natural oils used at the original John Boos & Co factory
- 16oz Bottle with dispensing cap
Keep your chopping blocks, countertops and table tops in great condition with John Boos Mystery Oil. A dry board is prone to cracking and warping when exposed to water. Boos Mystery Oil is a special formulation of oils that include mineral, linseed and orange oil.
This combination of oils is superior to regular mineral oil in keeping wood fibers properly hydrated and will also protect your wood surface from water penetration by keeping the water out and oils locked in.
Recommended maintenance every 3 to 4 weeks or when the board becomes dry. Use in combination with Boos Beeswax Board Cream for the ultimate protection and longevity.
Directions for use:
Completely clean and dry cutting board, chopping block or wood surface. Apply oil directly to wood surface and rub in with cloth. Wait 5 minutes and reapply more oil. Repeat until wood will take no more oil. After drying, the surface should still feel somewhat wet or oily to the touch- this is how you know your wood is properly oiled.
Ships immediately. Commercial or bulk orders may take 1 to 2 weeks to fulfill.
SpecificationsWeight: 4.0 lb
Model: MYS
Shipping Information
ChoppingBlocks.com has years of experience shipping wood tables and countertops and know how to properly and safely get deliveries to your home. We utilize preferred carriers who specialize in residential deliveries and will contact you to beforehand to schedule a delivery time.

Like this but with a flat front cabinet and only a slight flat side to the "pie" here instead of the "slice" taken out... I like the raised sides
Great light fitting. Also nice to have blinds that pick out an accent colour in the kitchen - perhaps could do blind incorporating navy blue into ours?
Play with a trend in your galley kitchen. Dark navy blue bottom cabinets perfectly complement the wonderful white ones above. Stick to classic colors, knowing that they will never go out of style.
Herringbone Calacatta tile backsplash. The grey painted cabinets have a more modern feel with frosted glass fronts and brushed stainless hardware.
Galley kitchen with sink at the end. Love the eggshell blue/wood colour scheme. If you have a small kitchen make it cheerful
This is a must in any home. I love that it has enough room for the bags too...blue cabinets
Easy DIY? Angular pull out shelves like this - I think not!

Recalling just about everything Mike Patton has gotten his hot little hands on over the years, plus classic Yoko Ono and myriad so-called Krautrock outfits with a little bit of black metal (think Ulver) thrown in, this outfit creates a highly memorable 36-minute pastiche of this, that, and the other thing. The convoluted bio accompanying the album does little to illuminate the group's aesthetics or fully define just what in the hell is going on here, Bob. Doesn't matter. If you have to ask, you should probably call it a night and go home. Perfectly weird, absurd, and brimming with imagination. More, please.

My husband and I stayed at the Novotel for 3 nights as part of a trip to the Sacred Valley. The hotel building is nicely restored, with inca walls and beautiful courtyard atrium. We stayed in a Contemporary room - clean, beds are comfortable, but nothing special.
Our first night we stayed in room 304(?) - above a side street with an outside window. At night, it was very noisy - almost as if we had the window open. I mentioned it to the staff, and when we returned 3 nights later from the Sacred Valley they'd given us an inner courtyard room. I highly recommend these, even the 1st floor (basement) level, as they are very quiet, and still get windows with lots of light.
Breakfast buffet had plenty of options, with breads, cereals, meat, cheese and various hot options,as well as tea, coffee and fresh squeezed juices. Breakfast opened early enough (4:30am?) so you could fill up before an early tour start or before heading to the airport.
I would definitely recommend staying here, but get an inside room.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Novotel Cusco hotel is the perfect place to spend a few days or vacation as it is located in the historic center, close to the Plaza de Armas and cathedral, and 10 minutes from the airport. The Novotel Cusco is an historic base for discovering the Inca civilization. This 4-star hotel has 99 rooms including 16 Superior Rooms, all inside a 16th century building. We have a restaurant, café and bar. Ideal for family trips. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Travelocity, Booking.com, Orbitz, Hotels.com, Cancelon, Hotwire, ACCOR, getaroom.com, Cheap Tickets, TripOnline SA, HotelQuickly and HRS so you can book your Novotel Cusco reservations with confidence.

INSIDE Secure, a leader in semiconductor solutions for secure transactions and digital identity, today announced that its Mobile MasterCard® PayPass™ M/Chip 4 payment applet has attained MasterCard CAST and Functional certification on the INSIDE SecuRead® NFC module. The INSIDE payment applet can be used by banks, wallet providers, transit operators, mobile network operators, handset and tablet makers and others in SIM, microSD and other form factors to enable MasterCard payments in any NFC mobile device.
"Certified for use on INSIDE's new VaultSEcure secure element announced last month, or in the SecuRead module, our Mobile MasterCard PayPass M/Chip 4 payment applet also offers customers considerable benefits when used with other secure elements or UICCs running a GlobalPlatform-compliant Java Card™ operating system, including the one in our own VaultSEcure. It enables a faster, less costly certification process than when developing an applet from scratch," said Pierre Garnier, Executive Vice President NFC and Secure Payment Divisions at INSIDE Secure. "As important, the INSIDE Secure certified applet offers customers confidence that they can safely go for MasterCard certification on other SEs because the applet has been developed in accordance with the MasterCard specification, supporting both Mag Stripe and M/Chip profiles for global compatibility."
The INSIDE Mobile MasterCard PayPass M/Chip 4 payment applet is the first in a planned family of certified branded applets, and is part of the company's ongoing development effort to offer a comprehensive suite of pre-tested or certified branded payment, access control and banking applets. In addition to the Mobile MasterCard PayPass M/Chip 4 payment applet, INSIDE plans to support the Visa Mobile Payment Applet, First Data CertiFlash Mobile and the SecureKey Authentication Applet. INSIDE also offers an advanced toolbox of NFC enablement applets for EMV white label, NFC-ID, couponing, gift and loyalty cards, closed-loop payment, CIPURSE™ and other transit fare collection, cryptography and more.

Success at this level is the last barrier to at-will deployment. Storage, for instance, is more capable than where we read and write data.

Featuring: Nina
Added: 14 Mar 2015 | Length: 36:19 | Rating: 7.75
Nina and her girlfriend were in her room calling guys and teasing them over the phone. This made them pretty horny after a while. So they started to kiss and take off each other's tops and started fondling each other's deliciously young tits! And then her brother's friend stepped into the room and they just had to play with and suck his dick. And once he was as hard as a rock he stuffed his cock into their eager pussies. But that wasn't enough, so he first stuck his fingers into their asses and then slammed his pole into one girl's ass and then the other. But it was Nina who insisted she lick his cock clean!

HQ said Prymorske direction was the hottest yesterday: "In Mariupol vicinity, Russian terrorist troops attacked ATO forces' positions near Shyrokyne, Vodiane, Hnutove, Chermalyk, and Pavlopil numerous times. The militants employed mostly small arms, grenade launchers of various systems, IFV weapon. The same weapons and 82 mm mortars were used in Marinka area. An enemy sniper was aiming at Ukrainian fighters in Marinka and Lebedynske area.

Apple Update Now Allows Mac Users To Install Windows 10 Creators Version
Apple has updated macOS Sierra to version 10.12.5 with more than three dozen security patches, and a change that allows users install Microsoft's latest version of Windows 10 on their Macs.
Sierra 10.12.5 "adds support for media-free installation of Windows 10 Creators Update using Boot Camp," the update's brief release notes read. Creators Update was the name Microsoft assigned to Windows 10 1703, the upgrade issued last month.
Boot Camp, which is baked into macOS, lets Mac owners run Windows on their machines. A Windows license is required. Boot Camp, while not virtualization software like VMware's Fusion or Parallels International's Parallels Desktop, serves the same purpose: Running Windows applications, including custom or mission-critical corporate software, on a Mac personal computer.
Previously, Mac users were forced onto a circuitous road to put Windows 10 Creators Update into Boot Camp. According to a Microsoft support document published before the upgrade was released, Mac owners first had to install an .iso of 2016's Windows 10 Anniversary Update, aka 1607, to Boot Camp. Once 1607 was in place, they could then upgrade Windows 10 to 1703 from within Boot Camp.
Monday's macOS update voids that workaround: Mac owners may instead directly install a disk image — in .iso format — of Windows 10 1703 into Boot Camp.
Sierra 10.12.5 also patched 37 vulnerabilities in macOS. Apple also released security updates for Sierra's two predecessors, 2015's macOS El Capitan and 2014's macOS Yosemite.
Samsung On The Hunt For Acquisitions
May 23, 2017 by mphillips
Filed under Consumer Electronics
Tech giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd plans to continue their hunt for acquisition opportunities, a company executive said on Monday, as the firm seeks to build software and services to further differentiate its products.
"We are going to be bullish on finding companies that fit our strategy," Peter Koo, a senior vice president for Samsung's mobile division, said during an investor event in Hong Kong. He did not elaborate on specific targets or technologies that Samsung is looking to acquire.
The world's top maker of memory chips, smartphones and televisions has grown more aggressive in acquiring companies in recent years, breaking from its past preference to rely on its own talent and use its cash for capital expenditures amid intensifying competition from the likes of Apple Inc and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.
In addition to buying firms such as Viv Labs and LoopPay, deals that bolstered Samsung's existing efforts for artificial intelligence and mobile payments services, Samsung is also spending money to break into new businesses.
The firm completed an $8 billion acquisition of Harman International Industries early this year, its biggest ever deal, in an attempt to speed up its entry into the automotive components industry and develop a new growth engine.
Koo said Samsung's aim with software and services is to primarily make its products more attractive to consumers, and that the firm will look for partnerships as well as acquisitions to bolster its offerings.
Angry Birds Movie To Get A Sequel, Says Rovio Entertainment
May 23, 2017 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Finnish mobile games and animation studio Rovio Entertainment approved plans to proceed with a sequel to its Angry Birds movie, it said on Monday, aiming for release in September 2019.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 will be produced with Columbia Pictures and distributed by Sony Pictures, Rovio said.
The first Angry Birds movie, released last year, earned about $350 million at the box office and gave a boost to Rovio's game sales, helping the company to swing to an annual profit after years of falling earnings, job cuts and divestments.
Rovio said the new movie will be directed by Thurop Van Orman, the creator of animated TV series "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack".
The original Angry Birds game — in which smartphone players use a slingshot to attack pigs who steal the birds' eggs — became a phenomenon in 2009, but the franchise faltered in the following years amid tough competition.
Alongside the movie plan, Rovio is looking to reduce its dependence on Angry Birds — earlier this month it launched "Battle Bay", the firm's first multiplayer game which does not carry the Angry Birds name.
Will HTC Ever Return To Profitability
May 23, 2017 by Michael
Filed under Around The Net
HTC, the original equipment manufacturer that designs its own mobile devices and Google's Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, has announced net losses of $66.12 million for the first quarter of 2017. The company's latest financials are the latest in a series – it's had eight consecutive losses over the past two years.
Like many smartphone and VR headset manufacturing companies, HTC had hoped that 2017 would turn out to be a much better year than 2016. The Taiwanese company's earnings report for Q1 2017 gives mixed results this quarter. Revenues were $NT14.5 billion ($480.2 million), which is down 33 percent from the NT$22.2 billion ($720.7 million) it posted in Q4 2016. However, losses of NT$2 billion ($66.2 million) aren't as bad as the NT$3.09 billion ($102.4 million) it posted the previous quarter, or about 55 percent. These are also up from NT$2.61 billion ($86.5 million) in the previous year.
HTC plans to streamline operations, reduce operating losses
In Q1 2017, HTC says it continued to realign its organizational structure to help reduce overhead expenses by nearly 20 percent. This is similar to what Sprint has been doing since October 2015, when it announced a $2.5 billion cost cutting plan to streamline company operations. HTC's gross margins climbed to 16.3 percent versus 10.45 percent in Q4 2016, and 9.36 percent year-over-year.
The company worked to lower its operating costs to $NT12.2 billion ($403 million) from NT$13.4 billion ($444.9 million) a year earlier. Given that the company has not turned a profit in over a year, the plan is to continue lowering operating costs to reduce its operating losses. HTC launched two smartphones in the first quarter – the HTC U Ultra and the HTC U Play – but only the first device is available in the US. Then there was a report in February stating the company plans to exit the entry-level smartphone business in 2017 as it begins to focus on "high-margin" and "high-profit" devices. The company has been notorious for announcing products at its own events that aren't necessarily in line with usual CES and MWC unveils from manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Huawei, Motorola and others. While this strategy can work well in some circumstances, it only works when people are made aware of the announcements.
Opinion: HTC U 11, Pixel shipments may return profitability for second half of 2017
The company now wants to introduce an additional four to five high margin smartphone devices over the course of the next year, starting with the long-awaited HTC U 11 that will be announced on May 16th. The device's flagship feature, Sense Touch, is a new concept that allows using the side frame as an input method. However, it is unclear whether the HTC U 11 will be available in the second or third quarter, and whether it will be available internationally.
Within six weeks of the HTC U Ultra's release in the US, the company slashed its price from $749 down to $599 after reviewing outlets had a hard time recommending the device over similar Android Nougat counterparts. This move did not speak well of the device's sales, though it has been able to make some profit from Google's Pixel and Pixel XL sales since their October debut from much higher consumer demand. Google managed to sell an estimated 552,000 units before the end of 2016, and FierceWireless reported those devices accounting for 9.5 percent of smartphone sales at Verizon in January.
Google is not expected to announce refreshed Pixel devices until later this fall, but those sales will certainly aide HTC's path to becoming a premium-focused smartphone brand and hopefully reduce its operating losses.
Ford To Use Over-the-air Updates For Vehicle Software
May 22, 2017 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Ford Motor Co announced that it would enter into the growing arena of "over-the-air" software updates, adding Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to its Sync 3-equipped 2016 vehicles for the first time via a wireless software update.
The latest upgrade to Sync 3, Ford's interactive touch-screen system, will be accomplished through an over-the-air (OTA) update using Wi-Fi, not unlike how new software gets uploaded to smartphones by manufacturers.
After Tesla Inc's early lead in 2015 introducing OTAs, traditional automakers are slowly beginning to embrace the new technology, within limits. Concerns about security and resistance from dealers worried about losing service revenue have hampered its adoption.
Thus far, established automakers have not used OTAs for safety systems, only for non-critical systems like infotainment.
Customers can also get the update via the traditional means of visiting their dealer or using a USB drive, Ford said.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are operating systems from Alphabet's Google and Apple Inc that allow drivers to connect their smartphones to their vehicles' dashboard.
Ford's first use of OTAs comes about two months after it said it would hire 400 engineers to work on connectivity, mostly from Blackberry Ltd's shuttered phone handset business. Blackberry QNX powers Ford's Sync 3 system.
Besides being more convenient for customers, OTAs can bring automakers cost savings, as a substantial percentage of warranty repair issues and recalls can be corrected through OTAs.
Is Intel Worried About McAfee
Intel is fuming that MGT Capital Investments went ahead with the announcement of the "John McAfee Privacy Phone" when it previously said that it did not plan to launch products and services under the McAfee mark.
For those who came in late MGT Capital Investments is owned by John McAfee who sold the trademark and which ended up in the claws of Intel. Intel, which once claimed to own the letter i, is now insisting that McAfee can't use his name on products.
The federal court had earlier refused John McAfee and MGT Capital a preliminary injunction until the resolution of the dispute on Intel's transfer of marks and related assets containing the word McAfee as part of the spin-out.
MGT announced last month a privacy phone that will be "as hack proof as humanly possible," with features such as a bank of switches on the back cover that will allow the user to physically disconnect the battery, the antennas for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and geolocation, the camera and microphone, and would also not allow the phone to connect to a Stingray or any other IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) catcher device.
McAfee wants his phone in the shops by August and has referred to the phone largely as the Privacy Phone.
But in a sentence lower down in the statement on its website it refers to "the John McAfee privacy phone," which appears to have raised Intel's concerns about the naming of the phone. John McAfee also referred to "The John McAfee Privacy Phone, by MGT," in a tweet last month.
Lawyers for Intel and McAfee have also objected to MGT asking for the depositions of McAfee's CEO, Christopher Young, and Intel's CEO, Brian Krzanich, "even though Plaintiffs can point to no relevant, unique information that these chief executives possess."
The companies have moaned that MGT and John McAfee have not produced required documents for discovery and asked for a conference in connection with a motion for a protective order to prevent the "harassing depositions" of the chief executives and another motion to compel MGT and John McAfee to "complete their document production and provide substantive responses to interrogatories about their name change and planned products and services."
John McAfee has said he had entered in 1991 into an agreement with McAfee Associates, a predecessor to McAfee Inc., to transfer certain assets to it in exchange for stock and a promissory note.
But the security expert has told the court that at no point in the agreement had he assigned the rights to his personal name through an assignment of trademark or otherwise, or agreed to restrict his right to do business using his own name. Like most things involving John McAfee this will run and run and give great copy.
BlackBerry Focuses Resources On Anti-hacking Tools For Connected Cars
May 18, 2017 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
BlackBerry Ltd collaborating with at least two automakers to develop a security service that would remotely scan vehicles for computer viruses and advise drivers to pull over if they were in critical danger, according to a financial analyst.
The service, which would also be able to install security patches to an idle car, is being tested by luxury automakers Aston Martin and Range Rover, Macquarie analyst Gus Papageorgiou said in a note to clients sent late on Monday.
Auto security is among several areas that BlackBerry is betting will boost its revenue after the Canadian company lost its dominance of the smartphone market to Apple Inc and others over the past decade.
John Wall, the head of BlackBerry's QNX division, and company spokeswoman Sarah McKinney both declined to comment.
Matthew Clarke, a spokesman for Aston Martin, said in an email he was not aware of the company testing such a product. Representatives with Range Rover's parent company, Jaguar Land Rover, could not be reached for comment.
The service could be launched as early as next year, generating about $10 a month per vehicle for BlackBerry, according to Papageorgiou, who has followed BlackBerry for more than 15 years.
Vehicles increasingly rely on dozens of computers that connect to each other as well as the internet, mobile networks and Bluetooth communications systems that make them vulnerable to remote hacks.
"Although a connected, more software-centric automobile offers tremendous advantages to consumers, it also opens the doors to hackers," Papageorgiou wrote in his note.
Automaker interest in cyber security has risen dramatically since 2015, when two hacking experts uncovered vulnerabilities in Fiat Chrysler vehicles that led to a U.S. recall of 1.4 million autos.
China Hit Hard By 'WannaCry' Ransomware
May 17, 2017 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
The WannaCry ransomware has infected tens of thousands of Windows PCs in China, where Windows XP runs one in five systems, according to local reports.
More than 23,000 IP addresses in the People's Republic of China (PRC) show signs of infection, the country's National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center (CNCERT) told Xinhua, the state-run news agency, on Monday.
"Intranets in many industries and enterprises involving banking, education, electricity, energy, healthcare and transportation have been affected in different extents," CNCERT said.
The Hong Kong-based Southern China Morning Post upped the ante in its report Monday, claiming that tens of thousands of businesses and organizations had been hit by the ransomware, which has been dubbed "WannaCry" by most security experts, "WannaCrypt" by a few outliers.
The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), for example, took some 20,000 gas stations offline early Saturday, forcing customers to pay in cash as credit card purchases could not be processed. By mid-day Sunday, some 20% of the stations were still disconnected from the Internet, but efforts were continuing to restore payment options, the company said in a statement.
It shouldn't have been a surprise that PCs in the PRC were hit hard by WannaCry: Although security experts have yet to identify the original infection vector, the ransomware spreads rapidly by exploiting Windows vulnerabilities in a baked-in file sharing protocol.
Microsoft patched the flaws in March when it issued MS17-010, one of its last-ever security bulletins. But because Microsoft only supports — patches, in other words — newer editions of its operating system, the 16-year-old Windows XP and the 5-year-old Windows 8 were not bolstered with the same fix.
China is at greater risk of attacks against unpatched Windows XP PCs than most countries because a larger percentage of the nation's systems run the obsolete OS than the global average.
According to Baidu, the PRC's largest search provider, 19% of all personal computers using its service last month were powered by Windows XP. That was almost double the share of Windows 10, but less than a third of the share of Windows 7.
Windows XP's worldwide share was about 7% in April, said U.S. analytics vendor Net Applications earlier this month, about one-fourth the share of Windows 10 and a seventh the share of Windows 7.
Over the weekend, Microsoft issued security updates for Windows 8, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, which had had been banished from the patch list one, two and three years ago, respectively. "This decision was made based on an assessment of this situation, with the principle of protecting our customer ecosystem overall, firmly in mind," Phillip Misner, a principal security group manager at the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRM), said in a post to a company blog.
Will RISC-V Ever Be Utilized
The RISC-V open-source architecture, created by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has been around since 2010.
Anyone can use it but so far no one has bothered, although there is some theoretical interest in the tech. The RISC-V Foundation, which manages and promotes the architecture, counts Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm, AMD, Huawei, and others among its 60 members.
The RISC-V design can be modified for PCs, servers, smartphones, wearables, and other devices.
Now a startup called SiFive is the first to make a business out of the RISC-V architecture.
They have converted the RISC-V instruction set architecture into actual silicon and created two new chip designs that can be licensed.
RISC-V shares the ethos of open-source software, with the community working together to share, advance, and modify the architecture.
Nvidia is expected to use the microcontroller-style RISC-V designs in its chips,
Companies like Google are developing chips in-house and could tweak RISC-V for servers, which could save them from buying Intel's expensive chips.
SiFive's new 32-bit E31 Coreplex processor design is targeted at IoT devices, wearables, and low-power devices. The 64-bit CorePlex E51 could be used in servers, network processors, storage devices, and edge computing devices.
Some other open-source chips like OpenSPARC have lingered around but are based on old designs. The RISC-V Foundation has aggressively promoted the architecture, especially at Hot Chips, an annual gathering of semiconductor professionals.
The RISC-V architecture is modular, meaning that independent co-processing circuits can be attached to the central RISC-V design which makes the RISC-V highly flexible.
The goal of SiFive is to monetise the RISC-V design but at a modest cost. The new chip designs can be licensed for a fixed price from SiFive, but the company will not charge royalties. That makes it attractive alternative compared to chip designs from ARM and Imagination Technologies, which charge licensing fees and royalties.
SiFive will make chips starting later this year. The company earlier released the HiFive1 low-power board based on its RISC-V chip. The boards sold in the thousands.
The company did not provide the licensing prices for the CorePlex designs, but ordering them will be straightforward, SiFive officials said.
Spread Of 'WannaCry' Ransomware Halted For Now
Friday's unprecedented ransomware attack may have temporarily halted spreading to new machines thanks to a "kill switch" that a security researcher has activated.
The ransomware, called Wana Decryptor or WannaCry, has been found infecting machines across the globe. It works by exploiting a Windows vulnerability that the U.S. National Security Agency may have used for spying.
The malware encrypts data on a PC and shows users a note demanding $300 in bitcoin to have their data decrypted. Images of the ransom note have been circulating on Twitter. Security experts have detected tens of thousands of attacks, apparently spreading over LANs and the internet like a computer worm.
However, the ransomware also contains a kill switch that may have backfired on its developers, according to security researchers.
Wana Decryptor infects systems through a malicious program that first tries to connect to an unregistered web domain. The kill switch appears to work like this: If the malicious program can't connect to the domain, it'll proceed with the infection. If the connection succeeds, the program will stop the attack.
A security researcher who goes by the name MalwareTech found that he could activate the kill switch by registering the web domain and posting a page on it.
MalwareTech's original intention was to track the ransomware's spread through the domain it was contacting. "It came to light that a side effect of us registering the domain stopped the spread of the infection," he said in an email.
Security firm Malwarebytes and Cisco's Talos security group reported the same findings and said new ransomware infections appear to have slowed since the kill switch was activated.
However, Malwarebytes researcher Jerome Segura said it's too early to tell whether the kill switch will stop the Wana Decryptor attack for good. He warned that other versions of the same ransomware strain may be out there that have fixed the kill-switch problem or are configured to contact another web domain.
Unfortunately, computers already infected with Wana Decryptor will remain infected, he said.
Friday's ransomware attack first spread through a massive email phishing campaign. At least some of those emails appeared to be messages from a bank about a money transfer, according to Cisco's Talos group.
Victims who opened the attachment in the email were served with the ransomware, which takes over the computer, security researchers said.
The Wana Decryptor itself is no different from other typical ransomware strains. Once it infects the PC, it'll encrypt all the files on the machine, and then demand the victim pay a ransom to free them.
But unlike other ransomware, Wana Decryptor has been built to spread quickly. It does so by incorporating a hacking tool that security researchers suspect came from the NSA and was leaked online last month.
Google Acquires Virtual Game Studio Owlchemy Labs
Google has purchased Owlchemy Labs, the VR game studio that behind such game titles as Job Simulator and Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality.
The Austin, Texas-based game studio revealed the acquisition in a blog post Wednesday, saying it will continue to build content for the HTC Vive, Oculus Touch, and PlayStation VR after joining Google.
"We are continuing to do all of this with even more support and focus on building awesome stuff," Owlechemy wrote. "It's incredibly exciting that Google and Owlchemy are so well aligned on our goals and vision for the future of VR."
Google confirmed the acquisition in a blog post that praised the company for producing "really thoughtful interactive experiences that are responsive, intuitive, and feel natural."
The acquisition underscores the tech community's commitment to virtual reality, which promises to transport goggle-wearing users to a computer-generated 3D environment. Alphabet, Google's parent company, is said to be investing big money on content for the platform, much of it going toward development of video games and apps, licensing sports leagues and shooting 360-degree videos.
Google's latest entry in the market is Daydream, a hardware and software platform unveiled late last year that runs off Google's Android mobile operating system and helps any Android phone manufacturer create a VR headset themselves.
Terms of the acquisition of Owlchemy Labs weren't revealed.
Amazon Unveils Echo Show, To Go On Sale In June
May 11, 2017 by mphillips
Filed under Consumer Electronics
Amazon.com Inc has unveiled Echo Show, a touchscreen device that will allow users to make video calls and watch clips from CNN, the latest in the company's series of popular Echo voice-controlled speakers.
The device, which will go on sale in June for about $230, will feature Alexa, Amazon's voice-controlled aide, that can be used to play music, order an Uber or turn on the house lights.
Echo Show will allow video conferencing between users having an Echo device or the Alexa app. It is the first to support the feature, which is absent in similar devices offered by rivals such as Alphabet Inc's unit Google.
"Putting a semi-permanent ambient device in the home that can make and receive video calls is an interesting evolution which should prove compelling," said Jackdaw Research analyst Jan Dawson.
The launch of the Echo Show is Amazon's latest effort to make Alexa a key part of its customers' lives and dominate the nascent voice-powered computing market.
"What we're seeing is Amazon using its smart original foray into and early dominance of this space as a beachhead to spread into lots of other areas," Dawson said.
A study by research firm eMarketer showed that Amazon Echo and Echo Dot devices will claim a 70.6 percent share of the U.S. market this year, well ahead of Google Home's 23.8 percent share.
Amazon unveiled a voice-controlled camera, the Echo Look, last month alongside an app that recommends outfits for users.
The launch comes a day after Microsoft Corp said it was developing a voice-activated speaker in collaboration with Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's unit Harman Kardon.
Apple Acquires Sleep Tracking App Company Beddit
May 11, 2017 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Apple has purchased a sleep tracking app and hardware maker Beddit, the Finnish startup announced,via its website.
The terms of the deal have not disclosed and neither of the companies were immediately available for a comment.
"Beddit has been acquired by Apple. Your personal data will be collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the Apple Privacy Policy," the company said.
Beddit manufactures a monitoring device which tracks heart rate, breathing and sleep time when placed on a bed.
The monitor, which sells for $149.95 in Apple's online store, transfers the data to Beddit's iPhone app for analysis.
Will Imagination Go Against Apple
May 11, 2017 by Michael
Filed under Around The Net
Apple's many attempts to strong-arm its suppliers by cutting off their money supply unless they give it huge discounts are starting to get some kick-back from its suppliers.
The fruity-cargo cult has told Imagination Technologies that it no longer needs its tech and it will be inventing its own GPUs from now on. The move left Imagination high and dry and forced its share price down the low.
The only way for Imagination to keep its contracts with Apple is to offer huge price cuts on its licencing.
Imagination has allowed itself to become rather too dependent on Apple over the years which mean that it is vulnerable to this sort of issue.
Now the company has started a "dispute resolution procedure" with Apple, its biggest customer, after not resolving a standoff over licensing between the two companies.
Imagination said in April that Apple had notified the British firm it was developing its own graphics chips and would no longer use Imagination's processing designs in 15 months to two years' time.
But Imagination points out that Jobs Mob has been using its tech since the days of the iPod, and it cannot really make its own gear without tripping over its patents.
The company said it been unable to make satisfactory progress with Apple on an alternative commercial arrangement for the current license and royalty agreement. In other words, Apple is either sticking to its guns and really wants to make its own chip, or Imagination is not cutting its prices enough.
Apple is expecting its iPhone sales to continue falling, and it needs to keep its margins down. Apple has taken a similar move against Qualcomm with the aim of getting cheaper licencing.
Meanwhile Imagination also said it planned to sell two businesses, its embedded processor technology MIPS and mobile connectivity unit Ensigma.
Is Microsoft's Surface Laptop Too Expensive?
Microsoft made a rather surprising move by unveiling its Surface Laptop at the #MicrosoftEDU event in New York but at that price, it faces some rather stiff competition.
Microsoft is aiming at education with Windows 10 S OS, the new Microsoft Surface Laptop starts at a rather steep price of US $999 for the base version, powered by 7th-gen Kaby Lake Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Both HP and Acer have unveiled their notebooks powered by Windows 10 S, the HP ProBook x360 Education Edition, and the Acer TravelMate Spin B1 Convertible, which start at rather more reasonable US $299, coming with 11.6-inch screens, Intel Celeron CPUs, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
While it might be both lighter and thinner than any Apple Macbook as well as 50 percent faster than Macbook Air (like that was so hard to achieve), the Surface Laptop falls short when it comes to some serious competition.
Microsoft spent a lot of time talking about dimensions and the fact that the Surface Laptop is both lighter and thinner than any Apple Macbook. Measuring at 308.1×223.27×14.48mm (12.13×8.79×0.57 inches) and weighing in at 1,252g (2.76 lbs), the Surface Laptop is a fancy looking system with anodized chassis and Alcantara covered keyboard, but competition, like the Dell XPS 13, coming with CNC machined aluminum chassis and carbon fiber composite palm rest with soft-touch, is not far behind at all.
The Dell XPS 13 measures at 304x200x9-15mm (11.98×7.88×0.33-0.6inches) and weighs 1.22kg (2.7lbs) for the standard and 1.31kg (2.9lbs) for the touch version, which makes it smaller and pretty much the same weight as the Surface Laptop.
When it comes to hardware, Dell also offers more bang for the buck, at least when it comes to high-end configurations. The most expensive version of Surface Laptop, one featuring an Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB or RAM and 512GB of PCIe NVMe SSD is listed at US $2,199, whereas Dell will give you its high-end XPS 13 Touch with Intel 7th-gen Core i7-7560U, 16GB or RAM, 512GB of SSD storage and the 13.3-inch QHD (3200×1800) touch screen for US $1,974.99.
Dell also has the new XPS 13 2-in-1, which was introduced back in January, and which comes an UltraSharp QHD+ (3200×1800 resolution) screen or a standard 1920×1080 screen. It is powered by Intel's latest Kaby Lake Y-series CPUs, including the Core i5-7Y54 clocked at 3.2GHz or i7-7Y75 clocked at 3.6GHZ. It can also be equipped with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage, so this is a viable competition as well.
HP has a neat offer with the Spectre 13-v151nr, offering a 13.3-inch FHD system with Intel Core i7-7500U CPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage for US $1,249.99.
We are sure that Surface Laptop has its market but those in education will be looking at cheaper systems while those looking for a high-end notebook will probably look elsewhere as there is plenty of competition offering more than Microsoft's new Surface Laptop, let alone the Apple Macbook line. Bear in mind that all of these high-end notebooks run on Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro OS, which offer a lot more than the locked Windows 10 S OS.
