IDG Contributor Network: Apple Watch will reinforce tech as luxury style
Rolex, Louis Vuitton, and other heritage luxury brands had better be quaking in their boots at the news that Apple will likely be launching a smartwatch next week. Apple has become their competitor, according to luxury marketing experts. Young millennials are no longer eyeing brands for their superficial status. The affluent buyers out there are now beginning to look at products for what they do instead. This is good for us in the tech industry, but not so fine if you're sitting in the Louis Vuitton boardroom right now. Status Creative-class consumers want symbols that "proclaim a new style of status." Status is now based on who the individual is and what they value, not how much money they have to spend, says affluent consumer analyst Pam Danziger of Unity Marketing, in her blog.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Solar panels built into smartphone screen to solve the battery-life crisis
At Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona this week, Kyocera is showing a prototype that turns one of the modern smartphone's biggest battery life liabilities into an asset – a smartphone that incorporates solar power technology into the touchscreen.According to a Smithsonian Magazine report, Kyocera developed the technology in partnership with SunPartner Technologies and installed it on its Torque smartphone prototype, which was designed for rugged outdoor use.At less than 0.5 millimeters in thickness and as much as 90% transparency, the screen technology could fit any of today's popular smartphones without inhibiting their users, SunPartner Technologies said in a press release. The component that captures sunlight – called Wysips Crystal – can be installed just below the touchscreen panel of the smartphone, so it doesn't affect the user experience, and feeds the solar energy into the battery.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Review: Nvidia's Grid is like Netflix Instant streaming for games
Last week I reviewed Nvidia's Shield Tablet – an Android tablet focused on playing games. And it truly is an awesome gaming device, but one of the most intriguing parts of this little system comes in the form of the Nvidia Grid Streaming Service.Simply put, the "Grid" is "Netflix streaming for games."Browse through a collection of games, select one, and a few moments later, you start playing. The game itself is stored "in the cloud" on Nvidia's servers with the audio and video streamed down to your Shield device. (Now seems like a good time to mention that the Grid requires one of Nvidia's Shield devices – including the Shield Tablet and the new Shield TV console that it just announced – along with at least one Shield game controller. Which means there is a $200 entry to buy a device that grants you access to Nvidia's Grid.)To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

What the auto industry thinks about the rumored Apple Car
Over the past few days, a number of auto executives have chimed on reports that Apple is not-so-secretly working on developing an electric car.Seeing as how there is no shortage of detractors who think Apple has no business entering the auto industry, perhaps it's appropriate to begin with some of the more positive takes on Apple's rumored jump into an entirely different industry.First up, we have Volkswagon CEO Martin Winterkorn who reportedly is fully on board with both Google and Apple dipping their toes into automotive waters. *VW CEO 'WELCOMES' APPLE, GOOGLE CAR PROJECTS— Jay Yarow (@jyarow) March 2, 2015 Winterkorn added that Volkswagon would be more than happy to work alongside either Apple or Google in the electric car space.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
How Samsung's Galaxy S6 stacks up against Apple's iPhone 6 line
Samsung hit its mark with its Galaxy S6 announcement at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona this week.The company came prepared with an entirely new smartphone design and a concise explanation of the powerful hardware, rich display, strong security, great camera, and intuitive Android Lollipop software. The Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge stood out as high-end hardware designed to compete with top-tier Apple and HTC smartphones.The S6's design and engineering afforded Samsung the luxury to concentrate on just the most important features during the announcement. It eliminated the temptation to add a bloated feature list that consumers often ignore and which mobile device companies are so often inclined to add during product announcements out of a desperation to differentiate me-too devices.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Microsoft reportedly prepping a tiny version of Windows Server
As Microsoft prepares for Windows Server vNext, due next year, it also has a new, tiny footprint server in the works specifically for the cloud and designed to reduce problems with the standard server version.According to slides leaked by WZor, Microsoft is developing a headless deployment version of the server software called Nano Server. Nano Server is being designed as a next-gen cloud OS and infrastructure.In the slides, the company notes customers have complained about issues like having to reboot their systems every time they install patches, oftentimes patching components they don't even use. Reboots take a long time and are very disruptive.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Avi Networks' analytics tools can be a network engineer's best ally
In late 2014, Avi Networks came out of stealth mode with a product aimed at disrupting the application delivery controlled (ADC) market. Network World's Jon Gold did an excellent job covering the launch and the way Avi is attempting to differentiate itself, so I won't rehash what he has already covered.In the right environment, the value proposition of what Avi is doing should be obvious to anyone covering the software defined networking (SDN) or network functions virtualization (NFV) market. Avi brings a high level of agility to the ADC, enabling customers to deploy ADC resources anywhere they need to in the exact quantity required. The pay-as-you-grow model means organizations are no longer required to overpay for resources they won't need 90% of the time. Instead, they can provision for normal utilization and then purchase more capacity when the workloads require it.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Fake Microsoft tech support scammer threatens to cut up victim, toss pieces into river
A fake Microsoft tech support phone scam comes with a new twist. This time the scammer was recorded while he threatened to kill the victim.If you loathe low-down scammers of all kinds, then you may recall a zero-day last year that allowed gray-hat justice by hacking back against fake Microsoft tech support.

Curt Schilling and the long-standing consequences of trolling at work
If you have not heard the latest controversy regarding online behavior, you should take considerable notice. It's something every person who manages a group of people needs to know about because it's an issue of what they are doing at their desks.I run hot and cold about retired baseball pitcher Curt Schilling. On the one hand, there was his World Series heroics with the Boston Red Sox in 2004 that broke the Curse of the Bambino. Plus, he was an enthusiastic gamer who loved EverQuest, as I do for some reason (the new management is even more incompetent than the old). On the flip side, he also made an awful mess with his game studio 38 Studios and cost my home state of Rhode Island a fortune.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
IDG Contributor Network: SSL: Your network blind spot
Let's say you are the police commissioner in a city with a large prison. A dangerous criminal just escaped and is fleeing the city by vehicle. You quickly respond by setting up roadblocks and checkpoints, inspecting every vehicle that leaves the city. You have expertly trained and experienced officers conducting the inspections, and not a single vehicle gets out of the city without passing through your checkpoints and being inspected inside and out. You would be certain to catch him, right?Now imagine that the officers at the checkpoints lack the authority to stop and inspect the inside of the vehicles. They can peer inside the windows, but about a third of the vehicles passing through have compartments that you can't see from outside. Maybe some are utility vans with no windows in the back, or have tinted windows, or are semi trucks with large trailers. Would you be confident that you will catch the bad guy if you are only inspecting one-third of the vehicles passing through your checkpoints?To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Meru Networks targets growing market for cloud-managed Wi-Fi
In the application world, the cloud has been all the rage. It's hard to find any application today that's not offered as a cloud service. The cloud has also had a significant impact on infrastructure and more and more customers are buying compute services from the likes of Amazon and Google.However, most network products are still procured using traditional means. Pay for it up front and then pay an annual or monthly fee for maintenance. There are a handful of network solution providers that offer "cloud-managed" solutions, and while they do offer a cloud-based management interface, the vendor typically charges an upfront fee for the hardware and then the customers' "cloud" cost is for the management tools.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
AVG Invisibility Glasses and other slick tactical tricks to fool face recognition
AVG Innovation Labs created a prototype pair of "invisibility glasses" that protect privacy by making it "difficult for cameras or other facial recognition technologies to get a clear view of your identity." In essence, the glasses use infrared LEDs around the eyes and nose to make it difficult for facial recognition programs to recognize a face. AVG's prototype glasses were revealed at Mobile World Congress. AVG Innovation Labs While it's not yet a sexy look, it might be after some more design tweaking. For those of you who love privacy and recognize that type of LED manipulation to trick face detection, then ding, ding, ding, you're a winner and you move on to the bonus round!To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Pebble smartwatch sets second Kickstarter record, and it's not done yet
With 23 days to go in its latest Kickstarter funding campaign, Pebble has raised over $15 million. Last year, Pebble shipped more smartwatches than Android Wear. This year, the company might ship more than Apple.The smartwatch maker went back to Kickstarter, where it initially found enough funding to enter the smartwatch market, to fund its next watch, and again it set a record.Pebble set a Kickstarter record once before. Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky started the company in his college dorm room in the Netherlands, eventually becoming a fledgling startup selling BlackBerry smartwatches. Migicovsky and his team had a new idea for growth – the original Pebble smartwatch that worked with iPhones and Android smartphones – but they needed an investment to build it.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
