Continue reading...Apple or Samsung: You decide
In tech, imitation isn't the sincerest form of flattery; it's the surest path to a patent lawsuit. To say that Apple and Samsung are "meeting" in court this week would be incorrect. The two have tangled too many times to call it that. This latest case focuses on design, with Apple claiming that Samsung devices [...]
Continue reading...Windows 8: Secure at the deepest level
Windows 8 will come with antivirus protection running, but its real security benefit is vastly improved protection of low-level activities like memory allocation. If every computer had antivirus software running, life would be tough for bot herders and cyber crooks. Their ability to orchestrate spam campaigns and denial of service attacks relies on a plentiful [...]

It is not often that one comes across an application that ends up leaving one thoroughly entertained without actually having done too much. Chillingo’s The Act falls squarely in this category. While on the subject of category, we are not too sure into which one we should place the app itself – all we can [...]

Since Microsoft first showed off Windows 8 last year, the company has consistently referenced the operating system's dual interfaces – the standard, Windows desktop with which we're all familiar and the more mobile-friendly Metro-style option that replaces icons with apps.

Hollywood and the mobile games inspired by it have had a relationship that is about as rocky as something from Gibraltar.

Airpush is one of several aggressive mobile ad networks that disguise ads as notifications or apps, and take contact information without users' permission.
