Apple Google Meta And Big Tech To Fall Under New Eu Laws

The Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) are part of a new EU digital rulebook that will enforce the allowance of third-party services and apps, but tech giants fear it will pose more cybersecurity risks. So, are the regulations good for users, or not?

Apple Airpower Is Finally Going Into Production Tech Co 2019

Despite being announced in September 2017, the AirPower hasn’t been mentioned since by the company. In fact, the only references to the product on Apple’s website are a handful of lines in its iPhone press releases from 2017, plus tucked away within a list of trademarks. ChargerLAB cites what it calls a “credible source” within Apple’s supply chain who claims that it’ll start the manufacturing process next week. So, what do these leaks reveal about the AirPower, and when can we finally get to buy it?...

Apple Opens Siri To Third Party Developers

The news, first announced earlier this week, includes plans for Apple to bring Siri to Mac as well. This is good news for Apple users – they’ll be able to connect Siri to other apps that they use, as well as the ability to use Siri on computer apps as well. This means that the ability to complete tasks in a simpler, quicker action just got streamlined. While it could be questionable to have the decision of opening Siri to third-party developers or streamline it to work on computer browsers, but the added convenience could also be a mark of innovation in the right direction for Apple and the users that rely on the brand....

Australia S Local Startup Scene Is Facing Challenges

Cuts in startup funding will be bad for the local economy Recent research suggests that if Australian startup companies could continue to be supported locally, they would have the potential to contribute more than AU$100 billion to the local economy, along with more than 500,000 jobs, within the next 20 years. By cutting crucial programs that support startups, the Australian government only anticipates saving AU$845 million over the next five years, which is a fraction of the profits that would benefit the local economy over the next 20 years if local startups continued to receive the federal support they need....

Blacks And Latinos Make Up 4 To 5 Percent Of Tech Workforce

Indeed, after going through the workforce diversity reports published by eleven major tech companies (including Apple, Cisco, eBay, Facebook, Google, HP, Intel, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter, and Yahoo), data analysis from Silk finds that African-Americans and Latinos make up 4 percent and 5 percent of the overall tech workforce (those actually holding technical roles) respectively. Not at all shocking, of course; earlier this year, in its ranking of the “40 Best Companies for Diversity”, none of these eleven tech giants made the list....

Blueair Raises Awareness For Pulmonary Disease

COPD is a disease killing over 3 million people every year, and the World Health Organization (WHO) says that, today, more than 60 million people around the world have COPD. The WHO also adds that, by 2030, it will become the third leading cause of death, only after heart and cerebrovascular diseases. According to Rittri, people need to be more aware about COPD, as it has the potential to become a global epidemic: COPD is not curable and, while there is not much that regular people can do to improve the air quality outside, they can reduce the risks of getting COPD by improving the quality of indoor air, purifying it from dust, smoke, fumes, sprays and household cleaning products....

Byod Wifi And What Small Business Need To Know

It’s certainly a fair argument. Personal devices aren’t as protected as corporate devices, making them far more vulnerable to external attacks. Small businesses are particularly vulnerable in this fight. Smaller companies and startups are usually quicker to adopt BYOD policies than the corporate giants, given the perceived cost savings and increased flexibility and productivity. However, smaller companies also lack the same IT budgets and professional experience as larger organisations, making them easier targets for cyberattacks....

Do Yogis Make Better Entrepreneurs

To him, being a yogi is about your philosophy and way of life, not whether you can do a perfect crow pose. As best as he can define it, it involves having compassion for yourself and others, seeking answers to life’s important questions, and living with full knowledge that life is short. Yoga, or “fitness yoga” as he calls it, is just one way to practice this – and not all yoga practitioners live their lives like yogis....

Does Your Company Need To Worry About The Internet Of Things

The Internet of Things isn’t actually a new concept. Despite all the recent publicity surrounding it, the tech and IT world have been discussing it for decades. In 1989, the first Internet-connected device was unveiled by John Romkey, who successfully connected a Sunbeam Deluxe Automatic Radiant Control Toaster to the Internet. The principle of the Internet of Things is actually pretty simple – it’s merely connecting devices over the Internet and enabling them to talk to other applications and each other....
