This new billing options is however going to be rolled out incrementally over “several weeks” to a small group of users. The slow rollout however suggests that it might be several weeks or even months before this billing method is available for all the Netflix users. The best part is the fact that Google Play Store supports gift cards, a great way for young Netflix users who don’t have a debit card or credit card....

On a day-to-day basis, cyber-threat intelligence can help network defenders to understand failed and successful methods employed by adversaries, supply that and other information to security operations professionals, and provide actionable data to incident response teams to assist in scoping, mapping and responding to intrusions. In other words, cyber-threat intelligence based on both network traffic and other data sources can help organizations to prioritize their risk and inform all aspects of their security programs....

Wait a minute, you think. Didn’t I just have a conversation about AirPods with my friend? Like, a real conversation, spoken aloud? Is my phone… listening to me? Why, yes, it probably is. When you use your default settings, everything you say may be recorded through your device’s onboard microphone. While there’s been no concrete evidence that the microphone is always listening, many Americans believe their phones routinely collect their voice data and use it for marketing purposes....

To report this information, it was also presented a report that said that 6 million units of iPhone X were sold during the “Black Friday” weekend, and buyers prefer the more expensive model of 256 GB. It is undeniable that this iPhone came to mark the segment and there are many reports that account for this reality. The huge production, sales and orders that extend until next year endorse the rumours already mentioned: the iPhone X marked its segment....

Nor is it a company making money off of people with a little blue check mark, separating those who pay and those who don’t. No, the great impediment to the internet is that people have no autonomy in the increasing number of ways that they are herded like cattle on social media and even in crypto projects such as NFTs. Whether it’s a monopoly of giant firms such as what’s now Elon Musk’s Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, or an oligarchy of a small handful of crypto pioneers, neither will give people freedom....

However, we had recently seen ASUS Tinkerboard which is a Mini PC and a Raspberry Pi-Killer. Now, we are going to introduce another powerful board that can give tough competition to Raspberry PI 3. One of the Chip manufacturers just launched a motherboard which features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. The motherboard goes by the name DragonBoard 820c, and it is the first computer based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chip. The product was listed on Arrow Electronics Website....

Well, for starters, data is valuable. In fact, it can help marketers and advertisers pinpoint your habits to sell to you more effectively. That’s the crux of the matter that keeps the entire industry afloat. As for personal privacy — well, that’s not making anybody any money, right? (Don’t tell Facebook, though.) As it turns out, however, one of the most popular web browsers on the internet was revealed to be sharing personal data with one of the biggest names in tech: Microsoft....

The majority of hardware is still largely identical — the Surface Laptop 2 has the same 13.5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 2256 x 1504, a battery life of 14.5 hours, from 128GB to 1TB of SSD, Alcantara-coated interiors, an aluminium build, Microsoft Hello sensors, and a rather weak port selection which includes a standard USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort, a Surface Connector, and a headphone jack. But it’s now powered by Intel’s 8th Gen processors which Microsoft claims is 85 percent faster than the first-gen model....

At the moment we have seen some renders and leaks about its features but today almost all the details of its design was revealed.

Both in the front and the back we have important changes, so this mobile comes as a new bet for the company....

Motorola is going to announce the Moto X today, at long last. Whether or not they have an event that will be live streamed is something I haven’t yet figured out yet. If you have any tips, I’d appreciate it. Anyway, the guys at Android Police have discovered a new Chrome Extension in the Chrome Web Store from none other than Motorola. Check out the description. It should be noted that this is not just a Moto X feature, apparently this is also compatible with the recently announced Droids from Verizon Wireless....

Lost in the flurry of the iPhone news extravaganza was a celebratory event for Motorola. The company held a dedication ceremony to celebrate the opening of its Fort Worth, Texas manufacturing plant. CEO Dennis Woodside was on hand talking it up with Engadget, and he had a lot to say about Motorola and its future. One of the smallest and perhaps most significant quip from Woodside was about tablets. The reigning CEO of Motorola told Engadget that the company was working on a tablet....

But is this your new elite superphone? No, it doesn’t look like Motorola is trying to play in that market. The Moto X, which will retail for $200 for the 16GB version $250 for the 32GB version, is the result of a joint venture between Motorola to create a smarter, more personal smartphone. It is the first device the pair has worked closely on since acquired Motorola in May of last year....

The flat-price option would see the loathed connectivity virtual circuit (CVC) capacity charge removed from all plans, with access pricing increasing as a result. NBN is also putting forward a reworked option of its current pricing structure, with the CVC charge dropping by AU$2 to AU$6, and a melded option that removes the CVC on plans of 100Mbps down and quicker, while keeping the current AU$8 CVC charge on lower speeds....

Along with Android 4.4.1, Google is also rolling out an update for the Google Play Store app. Play Store updates are automatically done in the background so the user does not really know when it is generally updates. Anyways, the folks over at Android Police have managed to get their hands on the latest update to the Play Store – v4.5.10 – that brings with it quite a lot of changes....
