Apple brings Maps traffic data to four smaller European countries

 

Apple has silently added traffic data for Maps users in four more European nations, namely the microstates of Malta, Monaco, San Marino, and Liechtenstein.

Like Google Maps, Apple Maps uses color-coded lines to indicate the severity of congestion. When navigating on an iPhone, real-time traffic data makes it easier to choose alternate routes to avoid jams.

Apple offers traffic data in over 30 countries, primarily spread across Asia, Europe, and North and South America. It’s actually one of the more common Maps features, since options like Nearby are limited to a relative handful of countries, and some others — particularly public transit directions — are identified mostly by whoch cities carry them, not countries.

Earlier this week Apple added Sao Paulo, Brazil to the list of cities with transit support.

U.S. says hackers probed voting systems, no sign of damage

 

Hackers have probed the voting systems of many U.S. states but there is no sign that they have manipulated any voting data, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on Saturday.National security officials are investigating a number of possible leads suggesting that cyber-criminals are trying to influence the Nov. 8 presidential election, including by hacking into systems run by the Democratic National Committee.Republican candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly charged that the U.S. election system is “rigged” and top Democrats in Congress have charged that Russia is behind repeated attempts to access both party data and state voting systems.”In recent months, malicious cyber actors have been scanning a large number of state systems, whoch could be a preamble to attempted intrusions,” Johnson said in a statement. “In a few cases, we have determined that malicious actors gained access to state voting-related systems. However, we are not aware at this time of any manipulation of data.”

En film av Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell

Memory Box is the third and final film directed and produced by the filmmaking team of Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell, (Until The Light Takes Us, 99%). It premiered on Sept. 24, 2016, at Fantastic Fest. Aaron Aites, also the singer-songwriter behind the band Iran, died on April 28, 2016, after battling cancer.

His band released three albums: S/T (1998), The Moon Boys (2002) and Dissolver (2008). Pitchfork described his self-titled album, IRAN, as “unabashed excellence.” Aaron’s final EP as IRAN will be released sometime later this year or in early 2017. It is available as a reward at the link below.
Aites’ last film as a director,

Memory Box, was intended as a proof-of-concept for a feature. Aites and Ewell were also working on a ghost film at the time of his death. To contribute to Audrey’s Indiegogo campaign to cover finishing and distribution expenses on Memory Box, please visit igg.me/at/MemoryBoxFilm.

Över 400 infekterade appar i Google Play

Vid en genomgång av apparna i Google officiella butik på nätet, Google Play, så har säkerhetsföretaget Trend Micro hittat över 400 infekterade appar.

Flera av apparna har laddats ned hundratusentals gånger. Appen Mod GTA 5 for Minecraft PE har laddats ned 100 000 till 500 000 gånger.

Trend Micro detects this as ANDROIDOS_SOCKSBOT.A and has found at least 3,000 Trojanized apps. The Trojanized apps were hosted by several well-known Android mobile markets, including more than 400 detected on Google Play. They range from the recreational apps like games, skins, and themes to phone optimization boosters. The malicious code only makes for a small part of the app, making it difficult to detect.

När en enhet infekterats så kan den avlyssnas och information kan samlas in och stjälas. En enhet kan även användas för att skicka vidare trafik.

Apples nya huvudkontor oktober 2014

Ny månad och dags att ta sig en ny titt på Apples nya högkvarter.

Apples nya huvudkontor är ett gigantiskt bygge som kommer att kosta i storleksordningen 5-6 miljarder, rymma alla Apples anställda, lokaler för gym, utvecklingsavdelning och en stor aula för alla keynotes. Allt byggt miljövänligt med solpaneler och utan behov av kraftförsörjning utifrån. En del av glasen uppges vara bland de största i världen och de är böjda för att passa in i det stora husets unika form, ett rymdskepp.

Runt 18 000 anställda ska rymmas tillsammans med 12 000 parkeringsplatser i ett hus som ska värmas, kylas och drivas med egenproducerad energi.

Inflyttning är planerad till någon gång av inledningen av 2017.
