For such a seemingly obvious idea, Gartner ignited quite a firestorm with its proposition that, to remain relevant, IT must be broken into two distinct realms: one focused on keeping the lights on, or, in Gartner parlance, Mode 1, and one devoted to the cool stuff that business people want, or Mode 2.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here(Insider Story)

iPhone 8 Rumor Rollup: Getting chippy; leaks & leaks; SNL on board

When it comes to iPhone 8 (or iPhone X) scuttlebutt, there are rumors, and then there are leaks. This has been a big week for leaks...LEAKY IPHONE 8 Renders, schematics or whatever you want to call them were circulating wildly among Apple rumor mongerers and watchers this week.

iPhone 8 design will be challenging for Apple to pull off

Apple's iPhone design has rough remained unchanged since the company introduced its larger-screened iPhone 6 lineup in 2014. Sure, there have been slight aesthetic changes -- such as the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack -- but the overall look and feel of the iPhone is arguably outdated.Not to fear, the release of Apple's iPhone 8 is poised to change all that. Based on a number of leaks from reputable sources with solid track records, it's widely believed that the iPhone 8 will feature an edge to edge 5.8-inch OLED display. Of course, this begs the question: what happens to the home button, Touch ID and the iPhone's front facing camera?Well, Apple has reportedly been working on methods for embedding all of the above into the display itself. Far more than conjecture, Apple has filed a number of patents detailing technologies and manufacturing processes to allow for embedding items like a Touch ID sensor into a display. Of course, the road a patented technology must take before it appears in a shipping product is often fraught with hurdles, something Apple is currently dealing with right now.To read this article in full or to leave a Continue reading

Leaked NSA exploits plant a bull’s-eye on Windows Server

Friday’s release of suspected NSA spying tools is bad news for companies running Windows Server. The cyberweapons, which are now publicly available, can easily hack older versions of the OS.  The Shadow Brokers, a mysterious hacking group, leaked the files online, setting off worries that cybercriminals will incorporate them in their own hacks.  “This leak basically puts nation-state tools into the hands of anyone who wants them,” said Matthew Hickey, the director of security provider Hacker House.He’s been among the researchers looking over the files and has found they contain about 20 different Windows-based exploits -- four of which appear to leverage previously unknown software vulnerabilities.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Microsoft begins denying updates to some Windows 7 users

Microsoft this week began blocking Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs equipped with the very newest processors from receiving security updates, making good on a policy it announced but did not implement last year.But the company also refused to provide security fixes to Windows 7 systems that were powered by AMD's "Carrizo" CPUs, an architecture that was supposed to continue receiving patches.The decree that led to the update bans, whether allowable or not under Microsoft's new policy, was revealed in January 2016, when the company said making Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 run on the latest processors was "challenging." Microsoft then ruled that Windows 10 would be the only supported edition on seventh-generation and later CPUs and simultaneously dictated a substantial shortening of support of both editions.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
