WhatsApp Messenger – Taking the PIN out of Ping In the begging was messaging, and lo and behold, the company with two B’s from Canada dominated it, with a PIN that was more aspirational than a pin code.

It was an App Store exclusive for a while – Android got it in 2010, after even that double B company!...

How does it look? Does it not look exactly like the S8+? This is an accusation that we think has been leveled a trifle unfairly at the S9+. A more logical question would have been: does the S9+ look good? Yes, the broad design language is similar to what we had seen in the S8+ with the tall 6.2-inch display dominating the front, tapering over the sides, and button placement (including the Bixby and volume buttons on the left side) being largely similar....

The universal video playing app hasn’t been offered yet, so lots of people still use desktop video converters to adjust diverse video formats to Apple playback....

A new system, called UEFI, is here to take its place, but like most new technologies, its implementation is slow and expensive. Users tend to overlook the importance of the low-level operating system, keeping true to the belief that “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”. BIOS is reaching the end of its powers and new technologies are not supported any longer by this system, and this is what UEFI tries to fix....

I consider tablets to be used in medicine, architecture, engineering and not so much in the day to day life, maybe because I’m just a bit old school and I like PCs, but nonetheless, regardless of my opinion, the iPad remains the number 1 tablet PC in the world, and it seems the future will see even more tablets. This is just the start of an era that will be around for some time....

That joke might seem like a bad one, but it kinda fits when we talk of fingerprint scanners on smartphones. They started from the bottom after all, and now seem to have reached their home (or so we think). But to understand this better, let’s start from the beginning. Or actually from the bottom.

According to the researchers, the WPA2 protocol vulnerability works by intercepting the data at the point of a four-way handshake which uses a passkey called Pairwise. The worst part, however, is that the key can be resent multiple times. This is facilitated by using a cryptographic nonce, an arbitrary number that can be ideally used only once. In this particular case, the cryptographic nonce when sent in a certain manner renders the encryption void....
