1 Bursting the Bubble2 Troubled3 Relying on Smartphones4 Apple’s Problem Before discussing that, we’ll have a look at the hard data for the company’s smartphone. During the last quarter (which would be the second quarter in the standard fiscal year), iPhone unit sales reached 41.3 million. The company announced $53.3 billion in overall revenue, an increase of 17 percent from the year-ago quarter. Firstly, that mostly matched analyst predictions of around 41....

However, a new study by MIT and Cardiff University reveals that the formation of bias isn’t always so obvious. It found that AIs can form prejudices by learning and copying behavior from one another. To observe this, the researchers thought of a game. 100 AI bots were grouped and could choose whether to donate fake money to its own group or another. Donations were based on a system of reputation and their personal strategies....

If, like most people, you’ve spent a considerable amount of time on the internet, you’ve probably heard the term VPN or residential proxy thrown around. These might be unfamiliar terms for the average internet user that doesn’t elicit any specific emotions. However, for companies or internet user’s with a great deal of important information on the world wide web, VPN’s and residential proxies offer more security and safety. With the global online community expanding at the most rapid rate in history, many countries have opted to geo-lock their sites, making them available only to people in a particular country or countries....

If you are unfamiliar with Toggle DDR 4.0, it allows data to be transmitted at 1.4 gigabits per second (Gbps). This means Samsung has gained a 40% boost over its fourth-generation V-NAND. Despite the considerable bump in performance, the new processor achieves a similar energy efficiency as the previous model. Samsung says this is possible because the operating voltage has been decreased to 1.2 volts from 1.8 volts. Samsung has also gained the fastest ever data write speed with 500-microseconds, a handy 30% improvement over the previous generation....

In a press release, Samsung says that its 12nm DDR5 DRAM will provide the processing for next-generation computing, AI apps, and data centers. “Our 12nm-range DRAM will be a key enabler in driving market-wide adoption of DDR5 DRAM,” says Jooyoung Lee, Executive Vice President of DRAM Product & Technology at Samsung Electronics. “With exceptional performance and power efficiency, we expect our new DRAM to serve as the foundation for more sustainable operations in areas such as next-generation computing, data centers and AI-driven systems....

The National University of Defense Technology is run by the Chinese military, which raises natural conflict. One of the papers contained reflection mapping methods that utilized human faces. Facial recognition has been used extensively in Xinjiang to monitor, a minority that is majority-Muslim. Allegedly, the government has also been spying on phones in the area and cutting off contact outside the country. Speaking out against the communist party is likely to get Uighurs detained....

SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab uncovered the vulnerability and Microsoft has since coded it as CVE-2018-8546. Unfortunately, this flaw is filed under “major problem”, not least because SEC says it is very easy to implement. Indeed, all an attacker needs to do is start spamming a Skype for Business account with hundreds of emojis. This will make the Skype account useless, essentially crashing the app. To test the theory, SEC conducted a proof-of-concept (PoC)....

Users of Skype on Windows, Linux, Mac, and the web can now change their video call background with custom images. Previously, backgrounds could only be changed from a set of available templates, such as blur. The custom background feature is landing in Skype version 8.59. While this tool is available for Skype on Windows 10, it won’t work for the app that’s available in the Microsoft Store. Instead, you need to download the desktop program from the internet....

Users on services like YouTube, Skype, and Twitch can now integrate SnapChat features through the Snap Camera. This means the company’s various lenses and filters are accessible. Essentially this places Snapchat’s fun-friendly, teen/kid-appealing features onto any video, even in business situations. Of course, you probably won’t want to show up for your next online job interview with a dog filter. Still, the introduction of Snap Camera has wider implications for Snap as a company....

This month sees a slight upward turn for WMR, returning to a growth of 0.5% despite the release of major headsets like the HTC Vive Pro and Huawei VR. Clearly, it’s not a huge jump, but it does show that Microsoft is beginning to gain traction in the run up to the holidays. Windows Mixed Reality now accounts for a total of 7.7% of the VR headset on Steam. The Rift is first at 46....

I don’t expect Microsoft to be making a big deal about the launch of the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop 4. We almost certainly won’t get a major virtual event or the fanfare that welcomed Apple’s M1 Mac’s last month. That’s because Microsoft’s next generation hardware is probably focused on incremental spec updates. Benchmark results corroborate that thinking. Both the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop 4 will get Intel 11th-Gen Tiger Lake CPUs and AMD variants for the Laptop 4....

According to FireEye, a number of new campaigns have sprung up utilizing the vulnerability, attacking the Israeli Military, installing VBS backdoors, and deploying malware. “CVE-2018-20250[…]enables attackers to specify arbitrary destinations during file extraction of ‘ACE’ formatted files, regardless of user input,” explains FireEye. “Attackers can easily achieve persistence and code execution by creating malicious archives that extract files to sensitive locations, like the Windows ‘Startup’ Start Menu folder.” The first campaign disguises itself as an educational accreditation council....

A report from the WSJ suggests other companies might also come into the fold to scale up the 5G network. It seems the US government wants to create a standard for engineering 5G infrastructure. Microsoft and its partners (Dell and AT&T both work with Redmond) would create a network that could be tapped into by any manufacturer. In basic terms, the US is ensuring Huawei’s 5G tech won’t enter the country....

In the United States, the government says it will mandate social media networks to share encrypted user data. The United Kingdom government is following suit. Perhaps most interesting is that this will be compelled even for companies based outside the countries. Both nations have signed a treaty that centers on sharing information. Authorities in the countries says the rule is not universal. Companies will only be forced to hand encrypted data when serious crime is involved, such as pedophilia or terrorism....

The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field continues creating superb job opportunities. Thanks to outstanding development in the IT-sphere, IT jobs are the highest paying these days, but the field requires excellent math knowledge. Ironically, college students today don’t see the need to attend mathematics classes. Learners believe that there’s no correlation between their education and their future careers. These are apparent misconceptions that need to be disproved. Working in the most popular profession requires in-depth math knowledge....
