Microsoft's pitch for hybrids: Tablets alone don't cut it

[img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/4500iA0DE63E5E2F5E355.jpg[/img] Steve Ballmer flourishes a Lenovo ThinkPad Helix hybrid tablet-laptop at the Build Conference Wednesday. He mocked the dedicated tablet as unusable and/or inefficient.   Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer pitched upcoming "2-in-1" devices hard Wednesday at the Build Conference. Part of the pitch included mocking the dedicated tablet experience. Here's what Ballmer said. [quote]How many of us have gone to a meeting with somebody who brought a tablet and then when it comes time to actually take notes, writes them down on pencil and paper. Or can't get at the spreadsheet...or try to use it in terminal emulator mode...or take [a long time] to set up and turn their tablet into something that approximates a PC.[/quote]That statement -- a familiar refrain -- encapsulates the sales pitch for [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/windows-8-review/]Windows 8[/url]/8.1 hybrids, aka 2-in-1 devices, convertibles,

Windows 8.1 fixes problems, adds new features, but touch screen is still the focus (hands-on)

Today, during the keynote for the Microsoft Build conference in San Francisco, the company announced the preview version for Windows 8.1 ([b][url=http://download.cnet.com/Windows-8-1-Preview/3000-18513_4-75941999.html]download the preview here[/url][/b]). As a point upgrade to [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/windows-8-review/]Windows 8[/url], there are few sweeping changes to the operating system, but Microsoft has thankfully made some tweaks to the interface, along with upgraded apps and other enhancements that users will appreciate. But it's important to note that if you were hoping for a return to a Windows 7 layout, you're going to be disappointed; Microsoft is sticking to its guns on the Modern UI (the tiled Start screen interface), and you'll still be using it as your main launching point. With that said, Microsoft has added a few features that make it a bit more palatable to keyboard-and-mouse Windows desktop users.   In developing Windows 8.1, Microsoft says it listened to fe

Mozilla adds easy download monitoring to Firefox for OS X

If you are a Firefox user, you may have noticed that yesterday Mozilla released an updated version of the browser. This new update includes a number of security updates and graphics optimizations, but in addition OS X users are now able to monitor downloads directly in the Dock. When you download a file in [url=http://download.cnet.com/mac/browsers/2001-2137_4-0.html]Safari[/url] or prior versions of [url=http://www.cnet.com/firefox-3/]Firefox[/url], the download process can be followed by going to a special Downloads window, where you can monitor overall and individual download progress; however, this requires you to keep such a window open. Even though Safari's downloads toolbar menu will show an overall progress bar, this still requires the menu to be visible on screen.   [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/4494i9A4FF8188575833C.png[/img]With Firefox 22, Mozilla has added a download progress bar to the Application's Dock icon, which will give you a

Hands-on with Lenovo's rugged ThinkPad Helix

When it was first introduced at CES 2013, Lenovo described the Helix hybrid laptop-tablet as a "flip and rip" system, which sounded like the usually staid company was trying to add a little sizzle to the normally conservative ThinkPad lineup. In person, this detachable screen hybrid still has a very ThinkPad-like look and feel, and from a distance, looks nearly identical to the army of ThinkPads on office and cubicle desks around the world. The flipping and ripping comes into play when you activate the small hinge-based latch for removing the display from the rest of the body. In this case, the screen pops off much like any other hybrid's, but then can reattach after being rotated 180 degrees, leaving the screen facing out from the back of the system. That makes for a good presentation mode, which I sometimes call a kiosk setup. Of course, you can also use the Helix screen by itself as a Windows 8 slate.   [b]A crowded 11-inch field[/b] [b] [/b]But, as an 11-inch laptop, the Helix

Facebook makes a play for more mobile ads with instant setup

Facebook said Wednesday that it has sped up the process for creating [url=https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/mobile-app-ads/]mobile app install ads[/url], the unit developers can buy to promote their own iOS and Android applications. App makers can now create and run mobile app install ads by simply entering a link to their apps in Apple's App Store or Google Play -- rather than first registering their apps with Facebook, a company spokesperson told CNET. Developers then need only set their target audience and budget to get the ad unit in the wild.   Essentially, with the change, all it takes to advertise your app is a little copy-and-paste know-how.   The simplified process, though relatively minor news, could actually make a significant impact on Facebook's bottom line. By removing friction from the creation process, Facebook should be able to entice more developers to purchase social network distribution for their iOS and [url=http://www.cnet.com/android-atlas/

HTC One Google Play Edition review: Stunning design, pristine Android, nothing fancy

Though the [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/htc-one/]HTC One[/url] is a stellar phone just as it is, I know that many Android purists would prefer that it shipped with Google’s stock OS while forsaking all of the fancy tricks and glitzy software that HTC layered upon it. Fortunately, with the new $599 HTC One Google Play Edition, that day is here. Using the same hardware and design as the 32GB GSM HTC One model, this unlocked handset runs pure, sweet Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the freshest version available. Even better, Google has pledged that the HTC One Google Play Edition qualifies as a true Nexus device, so it will be first in line for future updates. It all sounds like a dream come true, but there are trade-offs for pushing HTC Sense aside. For example you can kiss goodbye all of the standard HTC One’s slick camera features, such as Zoe Share, TV remote control, and BlinkFeed. If that’s a price you’re willing to pay for Android purity, though, besides a lot of cash up front, then this

Microsoft's Windows Blue downloadable after online leak

Build 9364 is thought to be an early version of the update Microsoft has been working on, but does include some of the key features that are expected to make the final release. Screenshots of the changes have been posted on [url=http://winforum.eu/Temat-Dyskusja-o-Windows-Blue]Winforum[/url].

Windows 8.1 is a winner, but PC sales will plummet, says Gartner

How can I tighten up my Windows 7 machine against other machines from a connected VPN network?

the OpenVPN is a pretty solid application, it will put your traffic on a private network, and in the process encrypt the traffic going to and coming from that private network. Now, if you're worried about the machines that are also connected to the VPN, that's a different matter. First, the only thing the machines have in common with yours is that they are all on the same [i]logical network[/i], which means they can all access the same resources and in some cases, other machines on the same network. These machines cannot access the resources on your machine unless they have the permissions (user name and password) to do so. Next, if you want to secure your computer [b]in general[/b], then make use of the windows firewall. It's basic but it will get the job done. Take a 1/2 hour, comb through it and ask yourself 'do I really need this port open?' If the answer is yes (as is the case for OpenVPN), then make sure it's only open where you need it. For example, I have OpenVPN ports open on

Apple reportedly reaches deal with TSMC for next-gen chips

Apple and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company have reportedly reached a deal on next-gen Apple chips, extending all the way to silicon called the A9. TSMC and its chip-design partner have secured a 3-year deal for Apple's A series chips, according to [url=http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130624PD207.html]report[/url] on Monday at Digitimes. "A deal whereby TSMC replaces or supplements Samsung, the incumbent supplier of Apple processors," the report said. TSMC would be used for Apple's future A8, A9, and A9X chips, Digitimes said. There is no mention in the article of the expected A7 chip (Apple's latest is the A6/A6X, now used in the iPhone 5 and [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/ipad/]iPad 4[/url], respectively). The A7 is rumored to be used in the [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/iphone-5s/]iPhone 5S[/url] and future iPads.   That may, or may not, imply that Samsung will make the A7 series of chips.

Can someone from Webroot state its stance on Potentially Unwanted Applications? Other vendors seem to be more aggressive against this type of software while the impression I've gotten from Webroot in the past is that they wish to mostly focus on explicitly malicious software, regardless of ill repute or deleterious effects of a PUA.

Bitcoin Foundation ordered to cease operations in California

The Bitcoin Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting best practices for the virtual currency, has been ordered to cease operations in California. The California Department of Financial Institutions, which oversees banks, credit unions, and other financial organizations operating in the state, sent a cease-and-desist letter (see below) last month to the foundation accusing it of "engaging in the business of money transmission without a license or proper authorization." If found to be in violation of the California Financial Code, the Seattle-based foundation could be fined up to $2,500 a day per violation, in addition to criminal prosecution, according to [url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2013/06/23/bitcoin-foundation-receives-cease-and-desist-order-from-california/]Forbes[/url], which first reported the story.

Talk to the hand: No, really, it's a glove phone

I have had the impression for some time that Google has thought of everything. This impression was mainly fostered by Google, which seems intent not merely on knowing everything I do now, but everything I will want to do in the future. But then I saw this footage of a man talking into his pinkie finger and thought: "He must be British." This did, indeed, prove to be the case. For Sean Miles of Designworks in the U.K. decided that the true joy of wearable tech was a driving glove that you can talk into. At least that's what it looks like in this demonstration [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23008624]he gave to the BBC[/url]. This is surely the most developed expression ever of talking to the hand. He listens to his thumb. He talks into his little finger.

The hybrid Samsung Ativ Q laptop has Windows 8 and Android Jelly Bean (hands-on)

It's a hybrid device, transforming from a Windows 8 slate into a full-fledged laptop in one quick motion. That's not all, though -- at the tap of an icon it'll boot into Android Jelly Bean, letting you swipe around all of your favorite apps from the Google Play store. It's packing the latest Intel Haswell Core i5 processor, with a 13-inch display boasting a whopping 3,200x1,800-pixel resolution. Samsung has yet to announce pricing or availability, but make sure to keep checking CNET for all the latest news. [b]Design[/b] The Ativ Q's standard form is a rather chunky 13-inch slate. Lift the display up at the back, though, and it reveals a keyboard underneath. The screen folds up and locks into place behind the keys, allowing you to type and swipe in much the same way you would on any other touch-screen laptop.   It's the same converting technique we saw on Sony's Vaio Duo, but Samsung has taken it a step further. Rather than converting just between laptop and slate, the screen can

Huawei Ascend Mate: Bigger isn't always better (hands-on)

The [b]Huawei Ascend Mate[/b] may be built like a linebacker, but it's the custom software interface floating on top of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean device that can hope to salvage an otherwise blah phablet experience.

The Mate's screen is easy to read, yes, but it's also lower-resolution than I'd expect for the size. Furthermore, it creates an unwieldy device that made typing and photography awkward -- and you can just forget about carrying this hulk around in your pocket all day. Its specs may have been on the higher end of the scale in January when Huawei first announced its Mate, but anyone looking for a supersize smartphone today should look elsewhere, or w
