Google announced that the latest version of its Chrome browser would feature a quieter interface when it comes to notifications and requests from websites. When Chrome 80 releases, users will be able to opt into less intrusive notifications. Previously, users had to manually opt-out of individual web pages. To ensure that users get a comfortable experience, Google is going to automatically silence notifications for users who infrequently accept them, and for websites with low acceptance rates....

While Apple’s rumored Web TV service is expected to launch with new hardware and software later this year, Comcast has shown its cards on what it describes as an “experiment” to offer live TV streaming to its Internet subscribers without cable packages. Stream, a $15/month Xfinity add-on, will allow Comcast Internet subscribers to view live and on-demand streaming television from “about a dozen networks” including HBO and other major broadcast networks....

Look up the apps that use your phone’s location On your home screen, swipe down from the top....

Henry Ford may famously be thought to have said, “Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black,” as he invented mass production, but now it looks like the veteran auto company has an iPhone fixation, revealing support for the Apple device in future generations of its vehicles running the Ford Sync AppLink platform. Some may note my determination that Apple has a story to tell in the automobile industry — perhaps partnerships will make this story thrive....

Each of these scenarios requires two completely different sets of tools. In this article, we’ll cover both. First, we’ll cover only briefly because it’s so easy to get insight into your own site’s traffic. Only a few simple tools installed on your site are required. However, researching competitor sites is a different story.

Security researcher Stefan Esser (via ArsTechnica) has discovered that an issue reported on Reddit as causing crashes on jailbroken iPhones and iPads is actually a piece of malware designed to capture Apple IDs and passwords from infected devices. Early indications are that the source of the malware is likely to have been from a tweak downloaded from somewhere outside of Cydia. Esser has identified that the code only runs on 32-bit devices, meaning that the iPhone 5s, iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display are safe, while other devices are vulnerable....

But wait! Before anything else, this article is not all about vulnerability scanners and how to find security bugs efficiently. I just want to point out the usage of vulnerability scanners for security professionals. I want to share a new product called CloudPro-X by Provensec. CloudPro-X is a cloud security scanner, which offers automated vulnerability auditing, uptime monitoring of your website, and malware or virus infection scanning. CloudPro-X is a product that offers Security-as-a-service (SaaS) in the cloud and is different from platform-based web application vulnerability scanners like Acunetix or Webinspect....

By 2015, Zalando grew big enough that their marketing department wasn’t just working to drive traffic to the site; they also worked with many of the brands whose products they sold, crafting data-driven campaigns—with and without influencers—and promotions to boost sales. The success of this necessitated the creation of Zalando Marketing Services. The software they built to manage their influencer marketing efforts in-house is the foundation of Collabary. Knowing all this, the path from shoe sales to a Saas marketing platform seems almost inevitable By the time Collabary was launched, Zalando was already well versed in analytics for both e-commerce and marketing purposes....

Premiering in late August, Carnival Row follows mythological immigrant creatures whose homelands were overtaken by invading empires. The show stars Orlando Bloom as a human detective and Cara Delevingne as a refugee faerie. Over the course of the first season’s eight episodes, the two rekindle an affair that’s shunned by an intolerant society. The affair also poses another risk, as Delevingne’s refugee carries a secret that endangers a case which Bloom’s character is working on: a string of grizzly murders that threatens to unravel an already uneasy sense of peace....

Much as we may love our iPhones, battery-life has never been one of its strengths (ask Samsung). But if you were hoping that the larger size of the iPhone 6 would mean a much bigger battery, some Chinese media reports spotted by GforGames suggest that we might be disappointed. The reports claim that the battery in the 4.7-inch model will be in the 1800-1900mAh range – only around 20 percent more than in the iPhone 5s....

A Weibo report has surfaced that indicates the iPhone 7 may have a slightly larger battery than the current generation iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. According to the poster, the iPhone 7 will include a battery with a 1735 mAH capacity and iPhone 7 Plus will feature a 2810 mAH battery. On both models, this is (slightly) more than the current-generation iPhones. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have batteries with 1715 mAH and 2750 mAH respectively....

As Apple’s September event draws closer, the iPhone 8 rumors continue to circulate. Today, Chinese poster GeekBar (which has a decent track record of iPhone leaks, although by no means infallible) has reported that the new high-end OLED iPhone will be offered in three storage capacities. The source says that the iPhone 8 base model is 64 GB, a welcomed doubling of the entry model 32 GB iPhone 7. The mid tier model would be 256 GB and — brand new to the iPhone line — a high-end 512 GB storage option would also be offered....

A few weeks ago we noticed that Google has started testing pre-release versions of Chrome through Apple’s TestFlight beta distribution service, and today the version in testing then has been released to everyone through the App Store. The latest version of Chrome for iOS takes advantage of Apple’s new pressure sensitive iPhone 6s displays and offers even more hardware keyboard shortcuts that will benefit iPad users. Update to the latest version of Chrome for iOS on iPhone 6s or 6s Plus and press firmly on the Home screen icon to reveal quick access to voice search within the app as well as private browsing in incognito mode and opening a new tab for regular browsing....

UDP hole punching is one of the most common techniques used to establish UDP connections with systems behind NAT. It is called UDP hole punching because it punches a hole in the firewall of the network which allows a packet from an outside system to successfully reach the desired client on a network using NAT. Though this process needs a third party host to establish a connection between the clients, research has shown that this can be done without using third party hosts....

The new version of Sabrina in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a determined and confident young woman. Unfortunately, she’s sometimes overconfident, as some fans have noticed. Her aunts are very supportive of her take-charge attitude and desire for power. But even they get annoyed with her and her teenage bravado at times. Most of the occasions where she loses her aunts’ support have to do with magic and their church. Considering what some of those decisions were, it’s not surprising that they’d be upset....

While cloud quickly became an essential tool, allowing businesses and employees to continue operating remotely from home, embracing the cloud can also bring additional cybersecurity risks, something that is now increasingly clear. Previously, most people connecting to the corporate network would be doing so from their place of work, and thus accessing their accounts, files and company servers from inside the four walls of the office building, protected by enterprise-grade firewalls and other security tools....
