Chinese company Huawei has chosen the IFA 2017 framework to present its Kirin 970 processor, the successor to the Kirin 960 that is likely to carry its long-awaited Huawei Mate 10 and futuristic phones such as Huawei P11 and Huawei P11 Plus. We are talking about a proprietary processor that will mark a before and after due to its neural processing capability, and that will compete face-to-face with giants like Qualcomm, Samsung or Apple in the niche of mobile processors. The new Huawei processor has been the protagonist of IFA 2017 on Saturday, highlighting its unique advanced core technology and being the first processor to carry a category 18 LTE modem. There are many features to note from a processor that has been promoted to hype by the Chinese company with certain advances that we detail below. Among the features of the Kirin 970 that stand out is that it has been manufactured in 10nm process, an important step since its predecessor was manufactured in 16nm. What does this advance mean? For we are a processor that consumes less energy without quarreling with performance and is able to offer a higher processing speed, thanks to its 5500 million built-in transistors. The composition of Kirin 970 comes to be similar to its predecessor, now with 8 cores divided into four Cortex A73 at 2.4GHz and four Cortex A53 at 1.8Ghz. The GPU is a Mali G72 with ARM architecture that increases its cores from 8 to 12 for better graphic rendering tasks. But the biggest novelty of the processor is the inclusion of a neural processing unit, which is used for tasks of real-time image processing or voice recognition, to be able to maximize all these advances in artificial intelligence that are coming to short term. To conclude, and not least, this is a processor with support for dual cameras and LTE speeds up to 1.2Gbps.

Security researcher MalwareBreakdown warns that it has detected a new campaign that uses a false source update message to infect your computer with malware. The attack is aimed at users of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, who reach malicious websites through malvertising, hacked portals or links in spam emails. According to their report, some compromised pages display an alert indicating that the website can not be displayed correctly because the Roboto Condensed font is not installed on the computer. In the popup window a link is provided to download such typography, which depending on the browser that will be used will be called Chrome Font Pack or Mozilla Font Pack, but in fact what it does is to download a virus. Once the victim clicks the Refresh button, the system downloads a file named chromefp60.exe or mozillafp60.exe. Then another pop-up window shows the steps you need to follow to install the suspected font pack. At the end of the process, the malware infects the computer, depending on the page it will be a Trojan, the keylogger Ursnif or a miner of Monero. The investigator explains that this attack can be found on legitimate websites that have been hacked by attackers, who have added the javascript code that modifies the site's display and displays the dialog to update the sources. In this way, when the visitor accesses the compromised portal, the script encodes the text so that it is not readable, as you can see above in the image. Of the three types of malware that installs this attack, the most dangerous is Ursnif, since it clandestinely records everything the user types on the keyboard and sends it to the attacker. In this way, cybercriminals can obtain the bank credentials and the password of all the services that the user uses

The death toll from Harvey's move to the United States has risen to 50, according to the latest information, although authorities continue to conduct search and rescue operations in the affected states, mainly in the Texas town of Houston. The phenomenon, which has left serious floods behind it, has left some 20,000 people missing and more than 32,000 displaced people are now advancing with sustained maximum winds of 50 kilometers per hour, making it again a tropical storm that is losing every time more strength. The hurricane, which has paralyzed Houston, the fourth most populous city in the United States, could become one of the most important natural disasters in American history. US President Donald Trump has called on Congress to approve a $ 7.9 billion ($ 6.6 billion) aid package to carry out recovery efforts following the hurricane.

A server is, in essence, a computer like any other, so it is important to pay attention to the tasks you will perform to choose the right components to mount your server, ensuring that the budget does not fire more than expected. Within the different types of components specifically designed for servers, it is possible to emphasize the section of storage. The storage system is one of the basic pillars for a server, since one of the main functions of any server will be to store the data that it receives from other computers or that users keep in it. Depending on the type of data that is stored and the needs of the traffic that will support that server, it is advisable to choose one type of disk or another. Obviously you will not need the same capacity and speed of access to the data a home server in which you save the familiar files or your private mail server, that the necessary performance in the server of a company with 500 users connecting simultaneously. What do the acronyms SATA, SAS or SSD mean? Acronyms, damn acronyms that hide the true meaning of things and make everything seem more complicated than it really is. We will unmask what the acronyms SATA, SAS and SSD mean! SSD (Solid State Drive) As you will know by now, SSD is a data storage technology that relies on non-volatile memory chips similar to those in RAM or USB flash drives, where data is stored by electrical impulses, rather than on a magnetic disk as in traditional hard disks or HDD (Hard Disk Drive). With no moving parts or writing heads, the SSD's responsiveness is immediate. For this reason, SSDs offer far superior performance than traditional hard drives. On the other hand, we find the acronym SATA and SAS, which unlike SSD is not a storage medium like SSD, but a connection interface that allows different data transfer rates at different transfer speeds. Therefore, it is important to differentiate between the storage system (SSD or HDD) and the connection interface for those storage systems (SAS or SATA) Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) It is one of the most po[CENSORED]r connection interfaces for storage being the most used in home storage systems and is the most common on the motherboards of personal computers and laptops as it offers a very balanced performance for this type of platforms . The SATA interface replaced the already obsolete Parallel ATA or IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), surpassing its transfer rates, which went from little more than 133 MB / s to the 150 MB / s of the first version of SATA. Currently the third version (SATA 3) is used, with up to 600 MB / s. However, as we will see later, perhaps the SATA interface is not the most suitable for a high-performance server. The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) This interface is probably the most unknown to the public since its use has been extended almost exclusively in the field of enterprise storage and massive servers, despite having a very similar development and close to SATA. As in the case of SATA, the SAS interface replaced the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) standard present in most servers of the time, but insufficient for the enormous flow that required the proliferation of networked services and the increase of devices connected to the servers. The arrival of the SAS interface allowed higher rates of data transfer and connect more devices simultaneously. The SAS interface is also in its third version and has gone from a bandwidth of 3 Gbit / s of the first version (SAS-1) to the 12 Gbit / s of the current version (SAS-3) or the 22 , 5 Gbit / s expected for its next release (SAS-4). Differences between SATA and SAS It should be remembered that both SATA and SAS are connection interfaces that are integrated into a storage system (usually HDD). However, simply incorporating one of the two interfaces already conditions the characteristics and performance of that storage unit. If the SAS interface has a higher bandwidth to carry a greater number of data at the same time, it would be a waste not to use it with storage systems capable of running at a faster rate. Said and done! One of the main differences between hard disks using a SAS and SATA interface is that, while in the case of SATA, they usually spin at a speed between 5,400 and 7,200 rpm (revolutions per minute), on the disks they use the SAS interface does at speeds of between 10,000 and 15,000 rpm, substantially improving the final performance. Another major difference between SAS and SATA drives is the high price-per-gigabyte capacity ratio since a 15,000 rpm and 900GB SAS disk can cost around € 420 (€ 0.466 / GB) while that a 7200 rpm and 1 TB (1024 GB) SATA disk is currently around 45 euros (€ 0.044 / GB). Without taking into account the enormous price difference, both systems are very evenly matched in terms of capacities since, as already mentioned, the storage technology used for both interfaces rises on the same base, being able to find disks of up to 12 TB with SATA or SAS interface. With a higher transfer rate, SAS disks duplicate the cache of SATA disks, from 64 MB to 128 MB. In this way, the buffer is always ready to send information, and hybrid cache systems are sometimes used in which, in addition to traditional cache memory chips, NAND memory is also used to speed up the sending of data. In SAS drives data is the most important, so these SAS disks have better protection systems against data loss making them more secure and reliable. The connectors of the SAS and SATA drives are very similar physically, although there are some differences between them so that they do not lead to mistakes when connecting them so that you can connect a SATA disk to a SAS connector, but you will never be able to connect a SAS in a SATA. The compatibility of SAS with SATA and reverse incompatibility has a very simple explanation: to allow companies to amortize the units and SATA storage systems they already had - whose investment can be hundreds of thousands of euros depending on the size of the company - although this means less performance, while it makes no sense to connect a high-performance SAS to a SATA connector that limits its performance to a quarter of its capacity. SATA or SAS what interface is better? Speaking in terms of better or worse is not the most appropriate when talking about connection interfaces, as it would be like comparing a Formula One with an off-road vehicle. Formula 1 has no rival in the circuits, but it does not make sense out of them, while the SUV will not have a good result in circuits, but you can use it on any terrain. Depending on the use that will be given it will be more appropriate to use a SAS or SATA interface. If what you have in mind is to set up a home server or for a small business, perhaps a SATA based storage system is the best option. The SATA interface allows you a more than enough transfer rate and you can connect multiple disk drives on your server to get a considerable amount of storage space. One of the great advantages of the SATA interface is that it is widespread in the domestic environment, so it is easy to find motherboards, hard disks and SSD drives that use this connector at a price very affordable for any user or small business. That way, mounting a small server at home or in the office will be very easy and you can even use components you already had and, if you need an extra performance, you can choose to add an SSD to your server, or a unit especially designed for servers if what you need is greater reliability for your data. Because the SAS interface provides greater scalability, increased data security and increased performance, they are ideal for enterprise servers where they must be operational 24/7 365 days a year, as they are the only ones capable of supporting that workload efficiently and with a low failure rate. SSD with SAS interface, the technology of the future The advancement of SSD technology is unstoppable and while in the field of domestic consumption manufacturers optimize the production processes to offer greater storage capacity at a lower price, in the professional field manufacturers strive to deliver the highest performance offered by the SSD and join it to the virtues of the SAS interface. The first SSD units with a SAS interface can already be found on the market, but there is still a long way to go before replacing HDD drives that have so far monopolized this area. storage systems. However, at the pace of manufacturers' developments, it will not be many years before SAS-based SSDs are more affordable, which will mean the definitive take-off of the currently standardized SAS-4 standard, which will double the transfer rates offered by the SAS interface. This new increase in the transfer rate is quite logical considering the challenges for the exchange of information that implies the arrival of 5G and the standardization of fiber optic connections in homes.

Each time we have more present the acronyms API in the world of the technology But, you know what they are or what they consist? API stands for Application Programming Interface, in Spanish. Specifically, it is a formal specification on how one module in one software communicates or interacts with another. In other words, APIs are a set of functions and computer protocols that allow developers to create specific programs for operating systems, databases or communications protocols. In addition, in recent years, have joined several social networks, such as Twitter or Facebook, as well as other online platforms such as Google Maps or Wordpress. Thus, social media marketing has become something more trackable and therefore more profitable. In fact, APIs are valuable especially since they allow to make use of different functions already existing in other software. Thus, you gain in productivity. APIs fulfill their purpose as a template on which to develop software that is fully compatible with a service, system or application. But, what examples can we find of API today? For example, it can be very useful for developers of a program for Windows that connects to the Internet, since they do not need to include in their code the functions necessary to recognize the network card. Thus, a call to the corresponding API of the operating system would suffice. But we can also find more practical examples in our day to day. So, when we buy a movie tickets online with our credit card, most likely that website uses an API to send that information remotely to another program that checks that the data is correct. So, even though you see a simple check, there are many APIs that are working behind to make everything go well.

The IFA 2017 in Berlin is the place chosen by Samsung to present their new wearables whose main novelty is that they are submersible, holding up to 5 atmospheres deep and therefore allowing water training. In Computer Today we had the opportunity to make a first contact and brief analysis of the Samsung Gear Sport and Gear Fit 2 Pro, as well as get up close and personal with the new version of the Gear IconX wireless headset. With a circular and minimalistic bezel, the Samsung Gear Sport inherits part of the best of Gear S2 and Gear S3. On the one hand it recovers the size of the S2 with a Super AMOLED screen of 1.2 inches with resolution 360x360 pixels, but at the same time it has technical specifications of the Gear S3: dual core processor of 1 GHz, 768 MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage. The change in size is perceived especially in its weight: just put it, one notes that we are before a clock much lighter than the previous model. It also has a smaller thickness (11.6 millimeters) and has a somewhat smaller battery, 300 milliamperes compared to 380 mAh Gear S3. In this brief analysis and first contact with the Samsung Gear Sport we have not had enough time to be able to ensure if, as Samsung argues, this cut in the capacity of the battery does not affect the battery of the device thanks to the greater efficiency of the processor, something that we will confirm in the future analysis of the smartwatch.

Instagram is the social network of fashion, the fastest growing and also the one that generates more interest in criminals. A few days ago we learned that an error in its application allowed access to the phone number and the mail of hundreds of celebrities. What we did not know until now is that there are approximately six million Instagram accounts that have been hacked. Data for many of them are for sale for only $ 10 per consultation. Apparently, the information on these Instagram accounts that is available is email and phone number, the same as in the case of celebrities. Anyone can buy the data, even if we refrain from sharing the link to that website. The information on sale has been analyzed by Ars Technica and the portal specialized in security Have I been pwned? in which you can check if your password is available on some website of digital data smuggling. Both portals have confirmed that it is true and that most of the profiles exposed contain mail and telephone. The identity of these users is unknown, although apparently it would be accounts of different countries of the world. Spain would be one of them, especially considering the po[CENSORED]rity of this social network in our country. At the moment Facebook has not pronounced on the hacker attack on Instagram, a problem that would actually be due to an error of the social network's own API, that is, attributable to the company. In this way millions of accounts would have been exposed, which entails in terms of theft of personal and bank data. Whether or not you have stolen your profile, it is advisable to change the password of your email right now. In any case, it is a process that you should carry out periodically. If you also activate the so-called 2-step verification, much better. Here's how to do it in Google Accounts.

Ubuntu is preparing for the changes that will take place next year. This Linux-based operating system, one of the most po[CENSORED]r, has just released the beta version of its version 17.10, the last before the LTS to be published in April 2018. It begins to test the news that must resurrect Ubuntu compared to other distributions like Linux Mint. Ubuntu 17.10 Beta 1 can now be downloaded in all its flavors. In all but the GNOME team, the default desktop environment in the LTS version of next year. Now that Canonical has decided to kill the Unity desktop, this environment is especially important. Not surprisingly, most users of this OS continue to opt for the main version of the distribution. These are the flavors for which the ISO of 17.10 is available, with their respective download links: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/artful/beta-1/ It must be clear before installing or updating that it is a beta version, with all that entails. Errors can be frequent, so it is best not to install it if you are not an advanced user of the system. We already valued in his day whether or not it was worth upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04, arguments that have not changed with 17.10. It is best to wait for the first LTS (Long Term Service) version to be released, much more stable and with extended support and updates for three years. As already mentioned, the Ubuntu update schedule states that it will be published in April next year.

If you remember, Microsoft promised a while ago to release updates to its new operating system every six months, including in each of them major improvements. An ambitious goal that seems to fulfill, if everything goes according to plan. According to information revealed in the last few hours, Windows 10 Fall Creators will feature Artificial Intelligence against malware. This would not be the only highlight of this update that will arrive next fall. In addition to knowing the exact launch date, thanks to an oversight of Lenovo, will also include the new features of Cortana and handwriting recognition. That these details have been known ahead of time as well as the release date of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update seems to be due to a serious error. Complying with the company's roadmap, the update had to arrive in the fall, but they were protecting the day chosen for it. However, an oversight has caused that fact to be revealed. According to PC World, Lenovo's hardware developer would have leaked that this new version of the operating system would arrive on October 17 for one of its products, specifically for the Miix 520. This was published on its product page until a few hours, when the information has been disseminated and have proceeded to eliminate it as well as the information portal, which also deleted the content. Luckily still the url and a screenshot as proof of its existence). If we look at the calendar, this date coincides with the months that Microsoft had set for its updates. As in everything, it is leaks and will have to wait a few days until Microsoft confirms the release date of Windows 10 Fall Creators, the next major update of this operating system. With respect to the new features that will include Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the most outstanding is the arrival of a package of new security measures where Artificial Intelligence excels to combat malware. The great Windows update will also include other features like Fluent Design System (formerly Project Neon), a new interface design to enhance the user experience, Timeline function to move back to previous actions quickly, simply and intuitively, improvements in the notifications system as well as performance and stability improvements, Cortana improvements and the handwriting option.

IFA 2017, the largest trade fair in the world in terms of technology, has been the framework chosen by the different technology companies to present their mixed reality devices. Virtual reality officially took off last year thanks to devices such as HTC VIVE, Oculus Rift or PlayStation VR, but they are just the "first generation of virtual reality" and companies continue to innovate to offer new solutions to consumers. The technology does not stop to advance and different manufacturers have joined forces with Microsoft and Windows to create a new way to consume content: the mixed reality of Windows. We were able to test all the mixed reality devices presented in IFA 2017 and, each and every one of the presentations, the companies wanted to make one thing clear: in 10 minutes you have your virtual world created thanks to the mixed reality of Windows. This is possible since all the sensors needed to enjoy the Mixed Reality of Windows are built into the viewfinder. In addition to consuming content, the mixed reality of Windows allows you to be productive. There are two ways, for the moment, to enjoy mixed-reality applications. One is in full format, the "typical" virtual reality in which what we are running is all that is seen on screen. Another mode allows us to enjoy a three-dimensional environment, such as a room, in which we will place different applications in 2D. For example, we can have the browser Edge to see that we are watching a video or talking on Skype. It's like the multi-screen features of Windows 10, but expanded to a virtual universe. At the moment there are 20,000 compatible applications. And up. In addition, they are compatible with Steam VR, which opens a world of possibilities and games. However, the name "mixed reality" comes from the enormous difference that exists with virtual reality. Mixed Reality vs Virtual Reality The main difference between a mixed reality device from windows and another from virtual reality is that while to enjoy the virtual reality we need both the viewfinder and one or more monitors (in the case of Oculus and HTC LIVE, or PlayStation Camera in the PS VR) that "read" the viewfinder sensors and the commands and translate our movements of the real world to take them to the virtual world, with the mixed reality of Windows we will not need more than the viewfinder and the two controls. How is this possible? Unlike the virtual reality viewers, the Windows mixed reality hard hats incorporate two cameras on the outside, one on each side of the device. The function of these cameras is to read real world information and monitor our movements without the need for any other sensor. If we crouch, turn or move our body, both the sensors of the device and the cameras themselves will be responsible for moving these movements to the virtual world. Another difference is in the controls. Because Windows mixed-mode devices have built-in cameras, the controls need something that the hull sensors can read. In the case of all devices seen in IFA 2017, the controls are exactly the same. They are a mix between HTC VIVE and Oculus Touch, but with several points of light that allows the viewfinder cameras to monitor the movements of our hands. The behavior is quite precise thanks to the number of lights included in the controls and also, as we have seen at the fair, even if you cross your arms while playing you will not lose the signal and our movements will continue to be reproduced in a way Speaking of precision, game controllers like Superhot VR (available as one of Windows's mixed-reality applications) or a game where we shoot small flying robots we have played exactly like with other viewers. The precision of both the controls and the way our movements are recorded is the same as that obtained with other devices. In short, the mixed reality of Windows works at the level of games just like virtual reality, but without the need for monitors to analyze our movements, which allows you to play in smaller spaces than with HTC Vive, for example, even with people around us. In addition to playing, the mixed reality of Windows allows you to enjoy other types of content, such as giant screens, a web browser, Youtube, documentaries and many more experiences that, as we have been told, will be added more in the very near future . First mixed virtual reality helmets In the framework of IFA 2017, Acer, Lenovo, Dell and Asus have introduced their Windows mixed-mode devices. Something they have in common is that the controls are the same for everyone. They have the circular part in which are the light sensors, a stick, a touch panel, a trigger and a button that can be given various uses. They also have a "Windows key" to escape to the desktop at any time. The 4 devices produced by the manufacturers have 90Hz of refreshment (a low but not tidal amount, according to our tests) and a resolution of 1440x1440. Here are two companies that have given figures. Lenovo has confirmed that its glasses are compatible with 4K content, while Asus has presented them as devices with 3K resolution. At the level of specifications, all are very even, differentiating, above all, abroad. The glasses of Acer were the first that we knew and the design is the most futuristic of all, futuristic like in Robocop, for example. The Windows mixed reality glasses created by Asus have a design in which polygons attempt to disguise the front cameras. Dell's, for example, stand out for their white color and the two cameras are perfectly visible. Lenovo's mixed-mode viewfinder (Lenovo Explorer) is the one with a more sober design, with a front band that gives it a science fiction aesthetic. Finally, although it has not been presented in IFA 2017, it is also necessary to mention the mixed HP device. The helmet looks futuristic, as you can see: One thing to note is that the helmet design allows people who wear glasses (even large pasta glasses) to use the device without any problems or discomfort. Other displays tighten or, directly, are not compatible with large glasses. The mixed-reality displays presented are lightweight and have a similar closure to the PlayStation VR to be sure to head. However, as if it were a visor, we can put our own helmets with the visor '' raised '' and adjust it to our liking once we have placed the headband well. It is comfortable to remove as well as to put on and, besides, it allows to lift the viewer at any moment without needing to take it of the head. Another point to note is that all the displays presented have a 3.5mm jack to connect headphones. The different Windows mixed-mode hard shells will arrive over the next few weeks, with no definite confirmed date yet. As for the price of the mixed reality of Windows, Lenovo and Asus devices will cost $ 449, and in the case of Dell and Lenovo may choose a purchase option without controls, which will leave the price at $ 349. The Acer model, in its version for developers, without controls and with final specifications, is at $ 299. We will see if this type of viewers without external monitors impose themselves. At the moment, it is a very important step forward that a company like Microsoft seeks to standardize certain parameters of virtual reality.

711 million email accounts make up the largest spambot ever discovered so far. A figure that breaks all the records to date and which show the security measures, the ineffectiveness of current anti-spam filters and new tricks for the theft of personal data, especially banking. The biggest spam list has been gathered by a hacker from whom we have little information. The only thing we know is that it was housed in an "open and accessible" server located in the Netherlands and contained inside the passwords of millions of mails to which it sent unwanted mails with malware inserted into a 1x1 gif capable of steal important amounts of data from browsers and software (especially banking information). This finding was made after Tuesday, for reasons unknown, has been left unprotected and publicly accessible. It was investigator Benkow - as they call it - who alerted last week Troy Hunt, the biggest expert in web security of the presence of an important spam list. After conducting the relevant investigations and checks, Hunt found the largest list of spam accounts known so far, as explained in a post written on his website, which also indicates that he has taken the relevant legal actions to have this server closed and removed. In total, the 711 million email accounts have committed a total of 110 data thefts in two and a half years, especially bank information stored in browsers and software. A huge list of SMTP credentials (about 80 million) has also been found in an attempt to circumvent antispam filters. The method for getting information from this powerful spambot was simple. Each of these emails sent included a GIF of dimensions 1x1 pixels, just invisible. When the user opened this email, a request was automatically sent with his IP and his user to the seridor that hosts this image. A sufficient information so that the spammer can know when the mail has been opened, from where it has done and in which device. If you want to know if your email accounts and passwords have been affected by this spambot, you can check it in Have I Been Pwned, tool developed by Hunt and has been updated after this the greater theft of data through spam. If your email account has been hacked you must change the access credentials immediately.

ASUS could not miss the appointment of the technological fair IFA Berlin, and among its novelties has introduced the new ASUS ZenBook Flip S, an ultra light notebook equipped with a 4K display, which presumes to be the world's thinnest convertible. Regarding the design, we find a team of the most sophisticated and attractive, something that we have already accustomed ASUS in its line ZenBook Flip S. The chassis is made from a single block of metal and the housings are Of a space-grade aluminum alloy with galvanized finish, which gives it a great presence and elegance. Its thickness is only 10.9 mm, and despite being made of metal, it weighs no more than 1.1 kg, figures that make it one of the thinnest and lightest laptops on the market. For this thin convertible to provide a smooth experience, ASUS has had to develop a 360º hinge suitable for its ultra-thin profile. This element has a double action mechanism that raises and tilts the keyboard in a perfect position for typing when the screen opens more than 135º. It is also very resistant and in tests has proven that it withstands more than 20,000 opening and closing cycles. The touch screen of the ZenBook Flip S has a size of 13.3 inches with UHD 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a pixel density of 331 ppi. It offers a wide viewing angle of 178 ° so that it can be viewed properly from almost any angle and the frames are quite small, providing an 80% screen / body ratio. In the new ASUS convertible, sophistication is not at odds with power. Under the hood we find an eighth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, accompanied by up to 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 1TB of storage on an SSD. It is equipped with a high capacity lithium polymer battery that offers up to 11 hours of autonomy, and also has a fast charge, allowing 60% of the cycle to be completed in just 49 minutes. It also integrates a reader of fingerprints to be able to initiate session with the footprint through Windows Hello. The price of the ZenBook Flip S starts from 1,200 euros onwards.

Fitbit, the world's leading brand in wearable technology, has announced the launch of its first smartwatch, the Fitbit Ionic with which it intends to compete with Google and Apple. To lead a healthy life is fundamental to have a good quality of life. Practicing sports regularly, resting and following a balanced diet are the basic premises for this. In the case of the first two, the automatic monitoring of physical activity and sleep are the most accurate indicators. In the market there are different gadgets that are responsible for measuring the number of steps daily, calories burned, heart rate, hours of sleep, etc. One of them is the activity bracelets or smartbands, a good option to perform basic functions, but that are short for more complex actions such as mobile payments. This is where wearable technology comes in with smart clocks at the head. Fitbit Ionic combines health and fitness knowledge from previous models - Fitbit Blaze, Fitbit Charge 2, Fitbit High HR and Fitbit Flex 2- with features specific to those of smartwatches, which is where the most important feature of this device resides . Regarding the benefits related to the monitoring of physical activity, we found an improvement of the heart rate sensor, which allows a more detailed monitoring when running or riding a bike, with the option of contracting the Fitbit Coach service with workouts and exercises Premium At the bottom of this device we find a sensor that measures oxygen saturation and opens the way to future metrics such as sleep apnea. Fitbit Ionic, the smart clock that allows mobile payments But the significance of this gadget lies in its part as a smart watch. Three are the highlights. The first is the possibility of making mobile payments with Fitbit Pay, through NFC, competing with Android Pay and Apple Pay, which comes after having acquired the company specializing in electronic payments called Coin. Transactions will be made through MasterCard, Visa and American Expressónicos credit and debit cards. In Spain we will be able to pay through Banco Santander. Another new feature of Fitbit's first smartwatch is the Fitb Flyer wireless headset. According to their features are sweat resistant, they offer great sound quality and are compatible with all mobile voice assistants. Finally, within this section we find a new operating system called Fitbit OS - based on Pebble technology, which will allow developers to create their own applications and be downloaded from the App Gallery (Pandora, Starbucks or Strava are already available. ). It comes as an alternative to Android Wear, Tizen and other WatchOS. Design, notifications, price and other features of Fitbit Ionic Fitbit Icon is a device of simple design and betting by the straight lines.

The technology fair IFA 2017 has just started. There are already several companies that have announced their new products, one of them Acer. This firm has not only surprised with the most powerful gaming computer to date, but has left a niche for its subsidiary Pawbo. This manufacturer has unveiled a new line of products for pets. There are three products: iPuppyGo, WagTag and Munch. Each of them is for one thing, although if you love your dog, cat or pet, you are sure to be interested, especially the GPS tracker. It is not the first time that Pawbo has been introduced to IFA with devices that allow you to control your pet from a distance, so that it is becoming more and more solid in this growing market. In short, these are the three articles that have unveiled IPuppyGo: light tracker that controls your partner's activity. It is similar to an activity monitor but for pets WagTag: collar for dogs - and cats - that traces its location by GPS Munch: smart prize dispenser that can be activated remotely The first two are especially interesting. IPuppyGo and WagTag can be controlled from the mobile application, providing information about your pet wherever you are. The monitoring device measures the level of well-being and activity of your dog or cat, while the tracker has an alert system that alerts you if your pet leaves the safe area. Keeping in mind that any pet is a member of the family, to be lost or to disappear is a tragedy that must be avoided. On the street anything can happen, that's why more and more people are choosing to buy a GPS collar for dogs or cats. The price of these articles has not yet been provided, although it may be published soon on the web enabled by Pawbo to show the news presented in IFA 2017.

Android updates are especially chaotic. That is why every time a new version comes out, it generates a whole storm around the brands and operators that will update, the compatible devices and the dates on which the update will arrive. Android 8.0 Oreo, the latest version available, has been no exception. After the beta phase, Google christened with the nickname of Oreo to the new edition just days ago. Soon after, he has published the OTA image to update his mobile phones to Android 8.0 Oreo. But not so fast: we said their mobile, that is, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL and compatible Nexus, which are as follows. Nexus 6P Nexus 5X Nexus Player Pixel C If you have one of the devices mentioned, you have two options: wait for the official update to Android 8.0 when your operator publishes or manually update the Android version. Here we explain how to do it, although basically it is to install one of the following two files: Once again, Android updates will arrive staggered to all devices. And by staggering we mean that the operating system will honor its legendary fragmentation and many phones will be updated within two years, and that if they get to receive it. We will have to wait before enjoying all of its new features. Here little can Google do. The manufacturers are responsible for adapting Android 8.0 to their respective phones and tablets to apply the so-called customization layers. It is one of the most criticized aspects of an OS that despite everything is already the most po[CENSORED]r in the world, surpassing even Windows. For now, rapid update is one of the main reasons to buy a Google Pixel or other mobile that comes with a "clean" version of the system, as is the case of the new Nokia.

In addition to playing, this computer will be ideal for those who want to create and test new content, both virtual reality and high resolution. Acer has also neglected the aesthetic aspect, and is that this PC comes with RGB lights inside and a design similar to a spacecraft. "With 4-way graphics and an 18-core processor, it's a platform that takes players and graphics users beyond their dreams," said Jeff Lee, CEO of desktop PCs at IFA.

An example are two of the gadgets for video games presented today by Acer. They are adaptive mouse gaming and their new headphones. The first of these, the gaming mouse Predator Cestus 500 has a quality that we had never seen: the hardness of the click can be modified to be softer depending on the type of game you are playing. Its price is € 89.99 For their part, the headphones modify the sound depending on the orientation of your head, making the sounds turn from where they would do it in a natural environment. They cost € 299.99.

When a component of our mobile phone breaks or suffers damage, many users are tempted to replace it with an unofficial replacement to save a little money on repair. But what often happens is that the cheap is expensive: the economic components can not only spoil your smartphone, but also infect it with malware. According to researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, that is precisely the danger of mobile phones with broken screen using third-party replacements. And is that, according to the study that has carried out this team, cybercriminals can integrate a malicious chip in the replacement panel to steal information and control the reconditioned phones. The team demonstrated that it is possible to compromise the devices quite simply. In order to carry out the test, they used a Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone and a LG G Pad 7.0 tablet, installed the malicious chip when performing a screen replacement and were able to take control of both terminals. "The threat posed by a malicious peripheral within consumer electronics should not be taken lightly," the researchers explain. "Malicious peripheral attacks are feasible, scalable and invisible to most detection techniques." Using this technique, the researchers were able to take photos of the owners of the devices and send them to a controlled server, as well as record the keystrokes made on the touch screen keyboard and unlock patterns. In addition, they were also able to exploit operating system vulnerabilities. "A well-motivated attacker may be fully capable of launching large-scale attacks or controlling specific targets," the team said in the paper. "System designers should consider replacement components as something outside the confidence boundary of the phone and design their defenses accordingly"

Ransomware is the top security threat today, a risk that has become especially apparent after the WannaCry attack last May. The malware does not infect only computers, but can also attack mobile phones, so all devices are in danger and may be victims of file hijacking and the terminal itself. It is important that you take precautions to prevent your smartphone from suffering an infection because it is possible that ransomware continues to proliferate quickly. And is that, according to a report by security firm Symantec, is circulating through the Deep Web an Android development kit ransomware that allows to create new strains of this type of virus from the mobile phone, easily for any Person and without the need for programming knowledge. "The whole process of creating a piece of ready-to-use malware is done through an app for the smartphone without writing a single line of code," said Dinesh Venkatesan, senior threat analysis engineer at Symantec. The kit is installed by downloading on the mobile phone an APK that has been detected in various Chinese forums. The only thing to do to create a new malware is to complete a series of parameters in a form, following the indications of the application. Attackers have the ability to customize the following: Message from the unlock screen. Password to unlock the terminal. Malware icon. System to randomize the code. Animation to be displayed on the infected device Once you have customized all the features, the criminal clicks the Create button and contacts the developer of the tool to make payment for the ransomware piece. The virus that is created by this process follows the same behavior as Lockdroid: what it does is block the terminal screen with an alert window that indicates that the mobile has been hijacked, facilitates payment instructions and allows you to enter the unlock code . At the moment this Android-based app is only detected in China, but researchers believe that this model of ransomware-as-a-service for mobile phones can be extended very quickly to other countries. To protect your Android phone from this threat, keep the operating system up to date, download applications only from trusted sources, monitor the permissions that are requested by the apps when you install them and always have a recent backup of your files.

Authorities have indicated that the missile has split in three and has fallen to the Pacific Ocean, about 1,180 kilometers from Cape Erimo, according to the Japanese public television network NHK. North Korea has not yet spoken about the launch, which takes place at a time of tension in the Korean peninsula. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said he will do everything possible to protect the country's po[CENSORED]tion, minutes after the missile flew over Japanese territory.
