 | KitSound takes music seriously, so I wasn't that surprised when I read how in recent 'blind testing' consumers were unable to tell the difference between a set of KSDJ headphones costing under £20 and high end headphones costing up to £900 when it came to the audio output. I mention …  |
 | Re: rel=author Although I have a Google+ account, and share editorial links there, I do not actually use it as a social network like I do Facebook and, to a lesser extent these days as 140 characters just ain't enough, Twitter. In fact, I don't know a single person who is using … |
| | DaniWeb, the 10 year old IT discussion community with more than a million members, is always looking forward and never stops introducing new features and functions for users. When spammers managed to get the better of the (highly customised) vBulletin forum platform which had been driving DaniWeb since the get … |
| | It started as just another early morning at work, arriving at 5.30am outside the converted mill where I rent a small space in amongst the myriad industrial units and office lets. I pulled up outside in my Fiat 500 and removed my backpack that doubles up as my laptop case … |
| | Almost exactly a year ago I was writing about [the development of Google Glass](http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/pc-hardware/monitors-displays-and-video-cards/news/426788/no-google-glass-for-most-developers-until-2014) here at DaniWeb. In the meantime, the project has turned into a reality and [actual product has got into the hands of reviewers](http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/380401/before-iwatch-and-google-glass-wearable-computing-milestones-and-failures/2) and some lucky users with $1,500 to spare. This would all be much … |
| | I will be at the National March Against the Badger Cull in London this Saturday (1st June) - see http://www.londonagainstthecull.org.uk/ for details. If any UK-based DaniWeb members are going, say hello if you spot a guy with an eye-patch and tattooed head. Chances are pretty good it will be me...  |
 | Strong encryption, at your end before the data is sent into the cloud, is the key (excuse the pun). There are cloud storage services which will encrpyt while passing the key into your possession, but it's easy enough to do yourself anyway. That said, if it is 'extremely confidential' then … |
| | 30% is a big hit, and far more than I would have expected to be honest. I seem to recall some people didn't like various things about the new interface/platform, but that's par for the course every time you have ever made a major change to things and the bleed …  |
| | The latest VIPRE Report from [GFI Labs](http://www.gfi.com) suggests that 2013 started off as a bad year for social network-based cybercrime attacks. The report, which analysed the ten most prevalent threats detected during the month of January, identified phishing messages on both Twitter and Facebook as well as malicious spam messages … |
| | Seeing as the IP from which both are posting is **exactly the same** I would suggest there is a connection, yes.  |
 | Well, either Facebook is having some technical troubles that are impacting upon your use of messaging, or your account has been blocked from using messages due to a reported abuse. Whatever, both will be temporary and I imagine your FB messages are already back up and available to you by … |

| | Hello Jonathan, what part of Yorkshire are you from? Says the London boy who has lived in Yorkshire for the best part of 20 years now, currently in the Calderdale region of West Yorkshire. Oh, and thanks for the vote of confidence in my editorial contributions here at DaniWeb over … |
 | What about the [possible 'Google Ghost' update](http://www.daniweb.com/internet-marketing/search-engine-optimization/news/456005/was-daniweb-hit-by-the-google-ghost-update) though? It's hard to see how this filtering of 'medium quality content' is helping anybody, and if it is the case that Google is turning to attack this after dealing with the 'thin' stuff which we can probably all agree is a good … |

 | Just to clarify the point Dani is making about manually cleaning up posts: when DaniWeb was hit by YAGAU (Yet Another Google Algo Update) Dani put her thinking cap on and looked at potential fixes. One of the things she uncovered was a huge number of posts made using the … |

 | I like it Dani. Nice and simple way to get around the 'how do I post' questions that sometimes gets asked, and at the same time to plant the seed of posting something with members. Can't see that it will create more spam to be honest, those who come to …  |

| |  This is the latest upgrade to the Camera Link product from Sandberg, making it compatible with the iPad 3 and iPad 4/Mini; but not at the same time. To get the iPad 4 compatibility rather obviously requires the Lightning connector equipped version, which costs the same as the … |
| | A new survey of 1000 commuters in London has revealed that, for a surprisingly large number of people, losing Internet access is more stressful than having no heating or water. Some 38% of those asked said that they would most stressed by a lack of Internet access at home, compared … |
| | A new survey commissioned by IT solutions specialist GFI Software concludes that, for the vast majority of workers in the small to medium-sized business (SMB) sector at least, the conventional nine-to-five/five day working week is dead; and right there holding the smoking gun is email. The survey, independently conducted and … |
| | Got into office at 6.30am yesterday (hour later than usual) and was going back home by 8am. Ended up back in bed at 10am, woke again at 4pm. Back in bed at 8pm, slept through until 6am this morning. Wow! Really strange bug, high temperature and very weak (had to … |
 | Re: Up votes Just tried same thing with this post, and got the same result: no increase in rep. Looks like you've found a bug AD. |

| | Dana Tamir, Enterprise Security Director for [Trusteer](http://www.trusteer.com/) has recently uncovered a variation of the TorRAT banking data malware which has been actively configured to target Twitter users.

| | That dramatic statement pretty much sums up the feelings of many people taking part in a recent survey. They suggest that online banking and online shopping are akin to playing Russian Roulette and it is only a matter of time before their security, credit cards and bank balances are breached. …  |

| |  My attention was first drawn to the VerticalMouse when I received a press release from Dutch computing ergonomic specialists [BakkerElkhuizen](http://www.bakkerelkhuizen.com/). Founded in 1994 by 'movement scientists' and ergonomists, BakkerElkhuizen is committed to linking the human being and their computers in a more natural way. The latest development from … |
| | Re: NoSQL forums The idea is that such things should now be posted in the [Web Devlelopment|Databases](http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/16) category and tagged as NoSQL  |
| | Following something of a bottom-up redesign last year, DaniWeb now makes use of tags. So you could post your Excel query in the [Microsoft Windows sub-category](http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/99) and tag the post with keywords such as 'Excel' and anything else directly relevant in order to increase visibility.  |

 | Re: Mobile App? > So...thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Stick to getting the basics right for v1.0 - as long as I can read and post (including PMs) then I will be happy. Bells and whistles can come later. That said, an iPad specific version of the app would be appreciated as I hate using … |

| | I blame [URL="http://twitter.com/scobleizer"]Robert Scoble aka scobleizer[/URL] for his 'First look at “revolutionary” social news iPad app: Flipboard' post which led to a flipping iPad app taking over Twitter for most of yesterday. Some 24 hours late, Flipboard has thankfully dropped off the trending top ten list at Twitter, although it's … |
| | The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has slapped the Greater Manchester Police force with a £150,000 fine (reduced to £120,000 for early payment) after a memory stick containing sensitive data about serious crimes was stolen from the home of a police officer.  The ICO has the power to … |
