The Lenovo X1 Carbon does the impossible. It makes a business laptop—a business anything—cool. Cool because it looks good, sure, but also because it works the way it’s supposed to. And somehow, that’s become one of the bigger compliments in tech. More »
I guess it is a given these days to know that one ought not to simply open up any attachments in the email, as you can never quite tell whether there is some malicious code behind that file or not. For those who prefer to throw caution to the wind, it is bad enough that your computer gets infected with a virus or malware, but the situation just got a whole lot worse when you discover that your computer is connected to the rest of the corporation’s network, resulting in a potential security compromise on a far larger scale. One of the more recent malware to hit the scene would be Shamoon, where it allegedly overwrites the master boot record in order to render the computer useless. (more…)

I guess you can say that WebOS is the mobile operating system that simply refuses to die, where this former operating system of Palm that was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP) is now the main focus of the start-up known as Gram, especially after WebOS was sidelined into an open source project. An internal email did point towards the recruitment of staff to run Gram as an independent subsidiary of HP, with the objective of doing to meant to probe the mobile device market to see whether there is still a niche for WebOS to occupy.
Gram will not only spend its fair share of time with webOS, but it will also have related software platform products like the Enyo development tools, in addition to products that are capable of delivering cloud content. Could the possible revival of WebOS be on the cards now, and will Gram be able to fully leverage the core strengths of webOS, Enyo, and cloud offerings?

Facebook, the world’s most popular social network, has finally resolved a long standing issue which enabled photos from users to be stashed away on their servers – sometimes residing there for months on end even after they were deleted from one’s user profile already, with some citing that years would be involved in this case. This has been the case for a fair number of years, where despite the fact that the deleted photos could not be viewed on your profile, it would still be accessible through direct URLs to the image. Nice to know that this particular snafu has finally been resolved. (more…)

In a recently published patent, it has been revealed that Apple could be (or was) looking into the idea of illuminated touchpads. This patent could be applied to existing MacBooks or the Magic Trackpad peripheral, and it basically illuminates the touchpad in relation to how it is being used. If you’ve used a MacBook or the Magic Trackpad before, or even the Magic Mouse, you’re probably aware that you are able to perform a variety of multi-touch gestures on it. This includes finger movements to scroll, zoom in, zoom out, move objects, and etc. Apple’s patent, dubbed the “Illuminated Touchpad”, has been described as a means to “give other feedback related to how the touch pad is being used.”
Basically what this means is that if you were to use the touchpad as a cursor, it might illuminate in a certain way, while if you were to use two fingers with it for scrolling, it might light up in a different way. We expect this might come in handy for those times when you thought you had performed a certain gesture when in reality the touchpad might not have registered it. Given that this is a patent, it’s hard to say if Apple has plans to use it in their products in the future, or if it is merely an idea they’re sitting on that may never come to fruition, but what do you think? Does the idea of an illuminated touchpad sound appealing to you?
