Like other streaming services, Amazon has been hunting for sporting events to feature on its Prime Video platform. Earlier this year, the company took over NFL Thursday game livestreaming from Twitter. Today, the company announced it’s snagged rights…

The removal of a physical home button, an edge-to-edge display, and a facial recognition system, these are all features that we have seen before prior to the iPhone X, but perhaps it could be how Apple implemented these features and made them all work because it seems that TIME has deemed it fit to declare the iPhone X as one of the “25 Best Inventions of 2017”.

The publication does not detail how they managed to arrive at that conclusion, but it seems that the iPhone X has managed to make the cut. The post talks about how “sophisticated” the iPhone X is, thanks to its edge-to-edge display, the implementation of augmented reality features, and also the decision to ditch the physical home button, a feature which has been a staple since the first iPhone model.

They also mention its facial recognition features, although they do acknowledge that Samsung and LG were some of the first to implement it. They also point out how its starting price of $999 makes it is the most expensive iPhone yet, although Apple’s design chief Jony Ive was quoted as saying, “As you would expect, there’s a financial consequence to integrating the sheer amount of processing power into such a small device.”

That being said whether or not you agree with TIME’s choice of awarding the iPhone X with the honor of being one of the “25 Best Inventions of 2017”, it’s hard to argue with the numbers as initial reports have claimed at least 9-12 million units were pre-ordered within the first 3 days of availability.

Malware, viruses, hacks; those are security issues that aren’t exactly new, but unfortunately it seems that some platforms are more affected than most. According to Nokia’s latest Threat Intelligence Report, it seems that they have discovered that Google’s Android platform is by far the most targeted by malware.

As you can see in the pie chart above, it shows the device breakdown for 2017 and based on that, Nokia’s report suggests that Android commands a whopping 68.5% of the chart when it comes to malware infections. The next biggest platform goes to Windows/PCs for 27.96%, while the rest goes to remaining devices such as the iPhone and presumably other platforms like Linux, Unix, Mac, etc.

According to Nokia, they believe Android is easily targeted due to the fact that apps can be easily side-loaded from third-party websites that don’t necessarily have the security measures in place that Google has for the Play Store.

“The main reason that the Android platform is targeted, is the fact that, once side-loading is enabled, Android applications can be downloaded from just about anywhere. Despite the very successful efforts by Google to ensure that the Play Store is malware free, Android users can continue to install apps by clicking on links in text messages and e-mail. In addition, in many regions third-party app stores have become the norm.”

Nokia’s findings seem to be in line with a recent report from Google themselves, who found that Google accounts tend to be hijacked most commonly through phishing. Unfortunately malware is something that will continue to exist, but being aware of what could get you infected probably goes a long way in preventing that.
