  • iPhone, iPad owners: Update now to block 'Broadpwn' Wi-Fi hack

    iPhone, iPad owners: Update now to block 'Broadpwn' Wi-Fi hack
    Apple has updated iOS 10 to fix 47 security flaws, including one that can be used to hack iPhones and iPads within Wi-Fi range. It's hard to hack iOS without relying on user interaction, but it can still be done by attacking a softer target: the Wi-Fi chip in most Android and iOS devices. Apple's latest iOS update, version 10.3.3, addresses yet another critical bug in the Broadcom43xx Wi-Fi chipset on the iPhone. The vulnerability, known as "Broadpwn" ( CVE-2017-9417), was discovered by r..

  • Intel's 12-core Core i9 might lose the megahertz war to AMD's Ryzen Threadripper

    Intel's 12-core Core i9 might lose the megahertz war to AMD's Ryzen Threadripper
    When Intel’s next Core i9 CPU appears in a month or so, it may face some stiff competition in a battle people long thought was over: the Megahertz Wars.Although Intel hasn’t formally declared the clock speed of its upcoming 12-core Core i9-7920X, the company appears to have inadvertently disclosed it. A price list posted by the company on July 14 shows the $1,200 Core i9-7920X with 16.5MB of cache, 12 cores, 24 threads, and a clock speed of 2.9GHz.Intel officials declined to comment to PCW..

  • New iPhone 8 Details Confirm Tim Cook's Expensive Gamble

    New iPhone 8 Details Confirm Tim Cook's Expensive Gamble
    The iPhone 8 is coming, it’s going to pack in as much cutting edge technology as possible, and I think Apple would rather that most of the iPhone community buy another iPhone. With a new OLED display, curved glass, new physical design, inductive charging, and a still to be confirmed change in biometric recognition, the iPhone 8 is sitting on the bleeding edge of Apple’s ability to innovate. It’s already expected to be late into Apple Stores compared to historical norms, and the price is set to b..

    Confirmed: Windows 10 will cut off devices with older CPUs
    No Windows 10 Creators Update for you, Microsoft says—at least, not if you happen to be the unlucky owner of certain older Atom-based Windows devices, and other aging models in the future. After stories arose of failed attempts to upgrade such hardware to the Creators Update, Microsoft confirmed late Wednesday that any hardware device that falls out of the manufacturer’s support cycle may be ineligible for future Windows 10 updates.In the case of the four “Clover Trail” processors (par..

    Big Doom Update Unlocks DLC For All, Makes Welcome Revamp To Multiplayer Systems
    Doom was acclaimed upon its release last year, but it was in large part due to its stellar campaign. Its multiplayer component was widely regarded as the weaker of the two components, but a new update has introduced some very welcome-sounding improvements.Most notably, Bethesda and id Software are doing away with Doom's $40 season pass and unlocking its multiplayer DLC for all players. That means that everyone who owns the game--or anyone who now picks it up--will get their hands on nine additi..

    Over the years Amazon has spread its wings in various directions, and the latest venture sees the online shopping giant dipping its toe into the waters of social networking.

    Destiny 2's PS4 beta points to a game with a split personality
    The PS4 beta for Bungie’s forthcoming shared-world sci-fi shooter sequel opened its airlock on Tuesday, and though we’ll have to wait until next month to put the PC version through its paces, there’s still plenty to learn about how key systems have been altered. The first thing to note is that the content is roughly the same stuff we played (on PC) at the Destiny 2 reveal event back in May. That means an expanded version of the Homecoming story mission, a co-op Strike called The Inverted Spir..
