G oogle on Monday posted to the Internet a previously unpublicized flaw that could pose a security threat to users of the Microsoft Windows operating system. Google notified both Microsoft and Adobe of zero day vulnerabilities in their software on Oct. 21, wrote Neel Mehta and Billy Leonard, members of Google's Threat Analysis Group, in an online post. Google has a policy of making critical vulnerabilities public seven days after it informs a software maker about them. Adobe was able to fix its vulnerability within seven days; Microsoft was not. "This [Windows] vulnerability is particularly serious because we know it is being actively exploited," wrote Mehta and Leonard. However, Google's Chrome browser prevents exploitation of the vulnerability when running in Windows 10, they added. Flaw Not Critical Microsoft challenged Google's analysis of the Windows flaw in a statement provided to TechNewsWorld by spokesperson Charlotte Heesacker. &quo

Apple has released iOS 10.1.1 to the general public today. The iOS 10.1.1 update comes  one week after iOS 10.1 was released .  The reason why Apple quickly issued this software update is because it fixes a bug that Forbes contributor  Gordon Kelly reported exclusively last week . Apple declined to reply to requests to acknowledge the bug until now.  You can install iOS 10.1.1 by connecting your device to iTunes or downloading it by going to  Settings > General > Software Update . The iOS 10.1.1 update is available for the following devices: iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later and iPod touch 6th generation and later. What Is Included In The Update? The software update is relatively small at under 70MB, which indicates that it is a minor update with a few bug fixes.  There weren’t any betas of iOS 10.1.1 either.  And  the changelog of the iOS 10.1.1 software update says:  “This update fixes bugs including an issue where Health data could not be viewed for som

A computer inspired by a desk lamp M icrosoft’s Surface PCs are known for their hinges. From the first, launched alongside Windows 8, to the new Surface Studio, each device has a hinge system that has evolved over time. That’s no accident, as the designers behind the scenes have been tweaking the Surface formula for years now. This latest creation, the Surface Studio, is designed to create an illusion of floating pixels. I met with the Surface Team last week to hear the history of the Surface and its latest Surface Studio hinge. “There is a tradition of us getting funding with pretty crappy prototypes,” admits Ralf Groene, Microsoft's head of industrial design, as he sits proudly next to the Surface Studio during its launch event in New York City last week. Those “crappy prototypes” include the original Surface RT concept, that was an acrylic sheet with a piece of string attached. Microsoft started with the basic concept of propping up a tablet on a table and typing, an

I’ve been a fan of financier Anthony Scaramucci for a while now, ever since I began watching Wall Street Week on Fox every Friday. While I don’t know him personally, aside from a few Twitter interactions, I jumped at the opportunity to pick up his new book, “ Hopping Over the Rabbit Hole .” In it, Mr. Scaramucci delves deep into his extensive experience as an entrepreneur to share the most valuable lessons he has learned. One such lesson struck a chord with me on a personal level: when negotiating, leave money on the table. I was intrigued to learn more, because it’s a philosophy I have long-since subscribed to as the CEO of  BodeTree . More often than not, I’ve caught heat from fellow entrepreneurs and stakeholders for my willingness to pursue mutually beneficial deals with our partners. Now, I had a story from someone I respected and admired who could validate my approach. In “Jumping Over the Rabbit Hole,” Mr. Scaramucci reflects on the first time he met one of the wealthi
