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changes -- such as the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack -- but the overall look and feel of the iPhone is arguably outdated.Not to fear, the release of Apple's iPhone 8 is poised to change all that.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.
