It’s clear that the first version of Google Glass had an identity crisis — unless you count theScoble shower incident. But let’s just call that a crisis… One problem with the wearable was there was no clear consumer proposition, so no reason for the public to want to sport the smart specs. Google is apparently reworking Glass now, likely with a narrower, enterprise focus. And that makes a lot more sense. The traction that Glass had gained was for niche industrial use-cases. Mountain View is not the only company thinking this way either — Sony is also building smart specs with an enterprise bent. So while VR headsets like Facebook’s Oculus Rift take aim at the gaming market, dangling the prospect of immersive entertainment (assuming you’re able to forget what a dork you look like IRL), makers of augmented reality specs are going after more specific and specialized niche use-cases. To wit: meet  ...

Internet hyperbole (and financial analysis) have rendered HTC, a once high-flying mobile brand,  essentially valueless . In short, the company is trading below cash on hand. So if you bought all HTC stock, the company would have to pay you, the buyer, to take it over. This means the company’s factories, stock and brand are worth nothing, at least on Wall Street. Furthermore, the researchers have discovered that the HTC One Max has been  keeping fingerprint biometrics used to unlock the cellphones in an unencrypted “world-readable”  file, a definite no-no in the world of security. Hackers could easily open the file /data/dbgraw.bmp on the phone’s memory and capture your fingerprint data. It’s bad. In short, HTC is hosed. As our own Jon Russell notes, the company isn’t sitting idly by while it burns. However, it is clear that companies like HTC and Samsung are about to be hit by lower-end manufacturers right where it matters most: price. The profit on an ...

Windows 10 comes with a whole new browser,i.e. Edge aka project SPARTAN. The good news is, EDGE is fast with a user friendly interface. The bad news is, there is not a lot to offer to Chrome users. #User_interface Project Spartan was started from scratch with a user friendly interface. The home screen of EDGE contains news-feed updates and more, just like iGoogle homepage and a welcoming search bar with the title “Where to next?” . Edge UI contains only basic controls required for general operation i.e., bold icons, wider tabs than the traditional slimmer ones in google chrome. Address bar contains buttons such as HUB giving easy access to favorite bar, reading list, history and downloads, web note button, share and more actions. Bold icons and wider tabs are easily accessible by touch users resulting in better user experience. Also, the light colored theme seems clean and simple. #Performance The best part of EDGE is, it is boosted with performance.

Over the past few weeks, there’s been a lot of talk about Windows 10 privacy. Some are skeptical that Microsoft hasn’t taken a step back from heavily monitoring the Insider builds following the upgrade to RTM. Others are concerned of Microsoft being vague about exactly what user information it collects from its new operating system, which it’s handing out for free, with the goal of getting on a billion PCs, so that it can sell that info to the NSA for big bucks. Things are getting out of hand. This is Windows, and its nature has always been to give users options. That remains true in Windows 10. If you are concerned about your privacy while using Windows 10, here’s what to do. Open Settings, then hit Privacy. You now have 13 different categories to adjust privacy settings in. From location, to camera and microphone, to device diagnostics, it’s all configurable. Want the fine print? Head over to  Microsoft’s new privacy statement website , which has been re-worded so...

Windows 10 has some handy new features, but if you believe the rest of the internet, it also comes with features that eviscerate any semblance of privacy. But that view is a little overblown. Let’s take a closer look at what each of these settings actually do—and which ones are actually a privacy problem. Why You Should Care About and Defend Your Privacy Privacy is dead, right? Facebook knows everything about you, and the world is still turning.… Read more Windows 10 has a reputation for “phoning home” more often than its predecessors, and while that’s primarily true, much of this was already present in Windows 8—and an awful lot of it is present in other products like Android, iOS, and Chrome. That’s not to say all of those settings are good, just that there’s very little new happening here. You can  read the privacy statement for Windows 10 here . It’s not quite as sweeping as the Windows Insider Preview policy that  caused so much commotion , but it’s stil...
