'Belgacom had spionagemalware op servers een jaar eerder kunnen opsporen'

by Arnoud Wokke
Belgacom wist al een jaar dat er iets mis was met de eigen servers, maar heeft geen diepgravend onderzoek laten instellen. Dat meldt de Vlaamse krant De Standaard. Pas na de onthullingen van Edward Snowden kwam er een onderzoek naar de spionagemalware.

The new ASUS PadFone Infinity hands-on (video)

by Engadget

The new ASUS PadFone Infinity handson

While ASUS has some way to go before dominating the world with its PadFones, it seems that the company is still very much committed to this eccentric phone-in-tablet idea. What’s more interesting is that rather than launching a completely new device, this time we’re given a nice spec bump in a near-identical device, meaning existing PadFone Infinity users can keep their tablet docks and swap just the phone. But is it worth the upgrade? Let’s take a quick look.

Bing introduces new modern logo to integrate the “One Microsoft” vision

by MobileNations

Bing

Microsoft’s Bing has been part of Windows Phone since the beginning. But it’s more than just a search engine. Earlier this summer we learned how Microsoft planned to turn Bing into a platform, one where developers and users can tap into a vast array of data to get things done. Last summer, Microsoft introduced a new corporate logo. Now, Bing is getting a logo makeover as it brings in a bunch of new features online. Let’s check it out.

Video games drive spike in music composer employment

by Tracey Lien

Music composition is one of the fastest-growing jobs in the U.S., and its recent spike can be largely attributed to the video game industry, according to research conducted by GameSoundCon.

Using a USA Today story as a springboard for its research, GameSoundCon analyzed the breakdown of the profession's 178 percent growth over the past 10 years. The study looked at the moderate increase in movies released, the number of independent films released and something that happened in 2008: the launch of prominent App Stores and developer programs.

"From 2002 to 2008, the number of composing jobs remained relatively flat, with just a slight uptick from 2002 (8,980 jobs) to 2008 (9,120 jobs)," the report reads. "2009, however, was a huge...

by Bryan Bishop

Since writing and co-creating the landmark drama Lost Damon Lindelof has worked primarily in the feature film world, but he'll be returning to television with a new HBO series called The LeftoversVariety reports that the company has ordered a 10-episode season of the hour-long drama. Based upon the novel by Tom Perrotta, it tells the story of the people left behind after The Rapture strikes. Lindelof will serve as the showrunner for the program, and co-wrote the pilot with Perrotta.

The Leftovers marks Lindelof's return to the medium that made him famous — or infamous, depending on what you thought of the ending of Lost. Since that show wrapped, the writer has worked on projects like Prometheus, Star Trek Into Darkness, and was one...

Iran seemingly lifts restrictions on Facebook and Twitter access

by Engadget

Iran seemingly lifts restrictions on Facebook and Twitter access

It hasn’t been outrightly confirmed by the government of Iran, but at least some within the nation’s borders are now able to access to both Twitter and Facebook. For those keeping score, public access to the networks has been banned since 2009, shortly after the reelection of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, seems fairly convinced that Iran itself should not be restricting its citizens to information available via social channels, and a number of trusted accounts — including Rouhani himself along with The New York Times‘ Thomas Erdbrink — have tweeted in recent hours without the use of a proxy. It’s unclear whether the lift is intentional, or if it’s scheduled to remain permanently, but we’re obviously hoping it’s a sign of meaningful change.

Grand Theft Auto V companion apps coming to Windows Phone from Rockstar

by MobileNations

Grand Theft Auto Windows Phone

In a few short hours, the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto universe will be released. Rockstar hasn’t had a main entry in the GTA universe since 2008, to say Grand Theft Auto V has been highly anticipated would still be underselling the hype surrounding the game. Earlier today we showed you guys and gals Windows Phone making a show in GTA V, but now you’re going to take your game experience on your Windows Phone.

In that last post, we mention how Rockstar created a real app for the iPhone called iFruit. We pondered (not George) whether or not we’d see a similar app for Windows Phone. Turns out, we will.

Iran appears to loosen restrictions on Facebook and Twitter

by Russell Brandom

After four years of intricate and widespread filtering, Iran today loosened restrictions on both Facebook and Twitter, allowing open access to the servers. Previously, the services had only been accessible using a VPN or redirecting service outside the country, and many on Twitter commented this was the first time they had ever used the sites without an intermediary. Both Facebook and Twitter have been blocked since the election protests of 2009, when activists used the services as tools for organizing rallies.

The government has yet to make an official statement on the lifted blocks, leading some to speculate that the lapse in filtering is a technical glitch rather than a change in policy. The change is being reported on a variety of...

Long passwords are good, but too much length can be a DoS hazard

by Dan Goodin

For more than a year, Ars has advised readers to use long, randomly generated passwords to protect their digital assets. Now comes definitive proof that too much password length can be detrimental to security.

It comes in the form of just-patched vulnerability in the Django Web development framework. By default, it uses the PBKDF2 algorithm to transform plain-text passwords into long strings called cryptographic hashes. Like scrypt and bcrypt, it's one of the most secure ways websites can store "at rest" passwords, because it passes them through multiple hashing rounds that significantly increase the time and computational resources required. In the event of a breach that spills a large password database, the additional effort can literally add centuries to the process of cracking the raw passwords.

But as Django developers have learned, this enhanced security can be a double-edged blade. In an advisory posted Monday they explained why:

First grid-scale compressed air battery now operational

by Engadget

SustainX activates first megawattscale air battery

Compressed air batteries have long promised truly clean energy storage, but they haven’t scaled large enough in recent years to be viable companions to renewable power sources. That changes now that SustainX has switched on the first modern air battery large enough to join an electrical grid. The company’s new ICAES (Isothermal Compressed Air Energy Storage) system in Seabrook, New Hampshire can hold 1.5 megawatts of power versus the kilowatt-level capacities of its rivals. Despite its size, ICAES is sustainable; it doesn’t require ‘dirty’ energy for either compression or releasing air to its generator, and the supply won’t degrade like that of a chemical battery. The New Hampshire system is just a demonstrator to attract interest, but SustainX expects to have its first commercial battery running in China next year. If ICAES (and technology like it) proves successful, we could see more solar and wind farms that keep delivering electricity when they’re otherwise idle.

Rockstar warns against installing GTA 5's second Xbox 360 disc

by Samit Sarkar

Grand Theft Auto 5 players on Xbox 360 must install the first disc in order to play the game, but the second disc — the one you play off of — shouldn't be installed, said publisher Rockstar Games on Twitter today.

The Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto 5 comes on two discs, and it requires players to install 8 GB of data to the console from the first disc. Once that initial installation is complete, that install disc is never used again; the game is played from the second disc. However, Rockstar warned against installing that disc, since doing so might affect performance.

"For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc," said Rockstar on the Rockstar Support Twitter account. "We will have more info on our Support...

Major Belgian telco targeted by a foreign state, Brussels says

by Cyrus Farivar
Belgacom is Belgium's primary telecommunications firm.

Belgium’s largest telecom, Belgacom, was hacked for at least a few years, according to national newspaper De Standaard.

The paper wrote on Monday that “everything suggests” (Google Translate) that the culprit was the National Security Agency (NSA). De Standaard reports that after an internal security check in June 2013, technicians found an “unknown virus” that had been installed across a “few dozen computers," and that the malware seemed to be targeting traffic on Belgacom International Carrier Services (BICS), a subsidiary that works primarily with other telcos in the Middle East and Africa.

How long was the malware present on majority-state-owned Belgacom’s systems? "We have no idea,” Belgacom CEO Didier Bellens told reporters (Google Translate) in Brussels on Monday.

'The Walking Dead' spin-off series coming to AMC

by Jacob Kastrenakes

A new hoard of zombies is walking over to AMC. A spin-off series of The Walking Dead featuring a new story and a new cast of characters is now in development for a targeted 2015 debut, reports Deadline. Robert Kirkman — who created the comic book on which the original TV series is based — will be an executive producer on the new series. "I couldn't be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Dead universe," Kirkman says in a statement. "The opportunity to make a show that isn't tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing.”

Two other executive producers from the original TV series will be joining Kirkman in work on the new show. In a...

OS X 10.8.5 breaks MacBook Air FaceTime camera support for some apps, here’s how to fix it

by MobileNations

OS X 10.8.5 breaks FaceTime camera compatibility for some third-party apps on Mid-2013 MacBook Airs

The latest OS X update has caused some problems with the FaceTime camera on the latest MacBook Air model, leaving certain third-party apps like Skype unable to use the camera. The problem apparently concerns 32-bit apps that use the camera, including Skype and iMovie. OS X 10.8.5 updated a particular plugin for the FaceTime camera, but not for 32-bit apps, according to a Skype for Mac engineer:

The 10.8.5 update updated a CoreMediaIO plugin that accesses the MBA camera, but didn’t bundle the 32-bits version of it.
Other (older and newer) versions of the OS do include a universal version (32 and 64 bits), but not 10.8.5.
This means 32-bits apps such as Skype or iMovie cannot load the plugin, making the built-in facetime camera invisible to these them.

It appears that this issue does not affect external cameras. Until a fix is issued, users will have to rely on this workaround:

  1. You need Time Machine
  2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
  3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
  4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
  5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
  6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    This solution is only for this time until Apple make update for this problem!!!

A download for the plugin is also provided.

Top Food Critics Say These Are The 20 Best Restaurants In America

by Julie Zeveloff

Jean Georges Dining Room_credit Francesco TonelliMost lists of top restaurants are crowd-sourced from diner reviews or compiled by anonymous editors. Samir Arora, a former Apple employee and the founder of Glam Media, decided to go a different route with his new global restaurant guide: "Foodie Top 100 Restaurants Worldwide."

Click here to jump right to the restaurants >>

He asked a handful of notable food critics, including former New York Times food writer Patricia Wells, former New York Magazine food critic Gael Greene, former Gourmet editor-in-chief Ruth Reichl, and top critics from France, Japan, and India to share their picks for the world's best restaurants.

The guide focuses foremost on food, looking at factors like service and decor as complementary. As Arora writes in the introduction, "The food must be spectacular; everything else is secondary."

France and Japan are the big winners in the Foodie guide, each with 29 restaurants selected by the critics and Foodie's editors. We're taking a closer look at the 20 U.S. restaurants picked by critics (presented here in alphabetical order); the full list is available on Glam Media's websiteClick here to buy the guide.

Alinea, Chicago

Chef Grant Achatz of Alinea is known for his creative modern cuisine and artistic presentations, with dishes like squab inspired by Miró.

Critic's tip: "If it's on the menu, try the Lamb 86, an 86-ingredient dish served with 64 composed garnishes — all colorful, all fantastically delicious, and served in little dots like old-fashioned ribbon candy."



Benu, San Francisco

Korean-born Chef Corey Lee serves inventive contemporary American cuisine in his restaurant in San Francisco's South of Market district.

Critic's tip: "Even if you don't order wine pairings, ask Yoon Ha for drink recommendations. You won't regret it."



Blanca, Brooklyn

Blanca is technically a 12-seat "tasting room"  tucked behind Brooklyn's famed pizzeria Roberta's. Chef Carlo Mirachi serves a parade of innovative, Italian-inspired dishes throughout the meal.

Critic's tip: "With few seats, the restaurant books well in advance and reserves only one month out. For the best shot at securing a seat, call the first day of the month."

Fatal crypto flaw in some government-certified smartcards makes forgery a snap

by Dan Goodin
As many of 10,000 of these smartcards may provide little or no cryptographic protection despite receiving two internationally recognized certifications.

Raising troubling questions about the reliability of government-mandated cryptography certifications used around the world, scientists have unearthed flaws in Taiwan's secure digital ID system that allow attackers to impersonate some citizens who rely on it to pay taxes, register cars, and file immigration papers.

The crippling weaknesses uncovered in the Taiwanese Citizen Digital Certificate program cast doubt that certifications designed to ensure cryptographic protections used by governments and other sensitive organizations can't be circumvented by adversaries, the scientists reported in a research paper scheduled to be presented later this year at the Asiacrypt 2013 conference in Bangalore, India. The flaws may highlight shortcomings in similar cryptographic systems used by other governments around the world since the vulnerable smartcards used in the Taiwanese program passed the FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and the Common Criteria standards. The certifications, managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its counterparts all over the world, impose a rigid set of requirements on all cryptographic hardware and software used by a raft of government agencies and contractors.

“Trivially broken keys”

The team of scientists uncovered what their paper called a "fatal flaw" in the hardware random number generator (RNG) used to ensure the numbers that form the raw materials of crypto keys aren't based on discernible patterns. Randomness is a crucial ingredient in ensuring adversaries can't break the cryptographic keys underpinning the smartcards issued to Taiwanese citizens.

Calm Skies Over Three Oceans

We live on a dynamic, restless planet. On any given day, there is usually a cyclone, tropical depression, or extra-tropical storm brewing somewhere on the Earth. But for a brief moment this week, the skies over all of the oceans were relatively calm. The image above is a composite of fourteen polar satellite passes, or swaths, stitched together from September 8, 2013. The natural-color images were acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite. At the time of those near-midday passes, there were no hurricanes, cyclones, or tropical storms in the Atlantic, Pacific, or Indian Ocean basins—a relatively rare occurrence at the height of the hurricane/cyclone season in the northern hemisphere. There was plenty of cloud cover, of course, and smaller storm systems. In the eastern Pacific, remnants of tropical storm Lorena were breaking up near the Baja Peninsula. In the eastern Atlantic, the pieces of tropical depression #9 were starting to gather near the islands of Cape Verde; by the next day, tropical storm Humberto would form. In its May and August 2013 outlooks, the National Hurricane Center forecasted a 70 percent chance of a “more active than normal” season, with 13 to 20 named storms and 7 to 11 hurricanes. A “normal” season typically produces 12 named storms, including 6 hurricanes. Through the second week of September (the midpoint of the Atlantic hurricane season), there have been nine named storms—keeping pace with predictions—but just one that reached hurricane strength. The one hurricane, Humberto, was observed on September 11, 2013, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. Humberto became a hurricane around 5 a.m. on September 11, just hours short of becoming the latest date for the first hurricane in a season. By September 13, Humberto had weakened to a tropical storm. Forecasts were calling for the northwest-moving storm to reach hurricane status again by September 19, when it will be in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and well away from land.The slow start does not necessarily mean the hurricane season will be mild. “What happens in the early part of the season is generally not a good predictor of the second half of the season, which is when the majority of hurricanes and major hurricanes form,” said Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “NOAA’s outlooks are for the season as a whole, and not for any particular month during the season.” In the period from 1981 to 2010, the Atlantic basin has averaged six hurricanes per year, and 61 percent of all Atlantic named storms form from September through November. “The 2013 hurricane season was billed as a stud, but up through mid-September, it has been a dud,” said Bill Patzert, climatologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “Stay vigilant, though. Hurricanes could be late and active. Remember hurricane Sandy in late October last year.” Image Credit: NASA Earth Observatory image by Jesse Allen, using VIIRS data from the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership.

Belgium looks into claims of foreign spying against its biggest telecom

Belgium looks into claims of foreign spying against its biggest telecom

Europeans are already jittery about possible foreign surveillance of their communications; today, those worries have reached a fever pitch. Belgian government investigators now suspect that a recently discovered virus in the internal systems of Belgacom, the country’s telecom giant, was planted as part of state-backed cyber espionage. The malware’s sophistication, scale and strategic focus suggest an attacker with “significant financial and logistic means,” according to prosecutors. Neither side has officially named a culprit. Local newspaper De Standaard isn’t quite so reticent, however — it alleges that the NSA has been spying on Belgacom’s voice traffic for at least two years, and that the discovery was prompted by Edward Snowden’s leaks. Whether or not the NSA is involved, the damage may be limited. Belgacom scrubbed its systems clean this weekend, and it doesn’t believe that the attack compromised customer data.

Google may be trying to save Glass users from needing tethering plans

by Casey Johnston

Google may have tweaked its Google Glass so that users can share their smartphone data connection to the headsets without paying a tethering fee, according to a report from CNET. Nick Starr, a Google Glass Explorer Edition user, discovered the data-sharing feature.

Previously Google Glass required that users pay extra for a tethering plan with their carrier in order to be able to share their smartphone’s data connection with the device. A new version of the companion app, XE9, allows the connection to be shared and data to be transmitted from one device to another absent an upgraded tethering plan.

Google Glass never required a tethering plan, per se—Nexus phones, for instance, can interact with Glass sans tethering. One commenter on Starr's post points out that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 prohibits tethering via Bluetooth, normally. With the latest version of the XE9 app, that user was able to have his Glass and phone interact via Bluetooth, without the Wi-Fi tether he normally has to employ.

HTC One Max sighted again with possible fingerprint sensor

Charging contacts also spotted in latest leaked photos from China

The steady stream of HTC One Max leakage continues today with a fresh batch of pics from Chinese social network Weibo. The images show the upcoming 5.9-inch handset in considerable detail, including what could be a fingerprint scanner — or some other kind of additional sensor — on the phone's metal back. Also shown are what seem to be charging contacts on the bottom right edge, likely designed to work with some official dock accessory.

Software-wise, we're still looking HTC's Sense UI on top of Android, though the Android and Sense version information is "protected" on this prototype phone. Despite the quickening pace of leaks — and reports that a September launch was originally planned — there's no updated info as to when the oversized phone might arrive. Naturally, we'll keep you posted as more details emerge.

Tablets Are A Bright Spot In Driving Mobile E-Commerce Traffic, Especially iPads

by Tony Danova

About 22% of U.S. e-commerce website traffic came from smartphones and tablets during the second quarter of 2013, according to the latest Monetate report

That's up from 15% in the second quarter of 2012, but growth is slowing. Sequentially, that share only ticked up about 1 percentage point from the first quarter, when mobile devices accounted for just over 21% of e-commerce traffic.

Smartphones specifically have been a bit of a disappointment in becoming a standalone shopping device. Their share of e-commerce traffic has hovered between 9% and 9.5% for four consecutive quarters. 

The smartphone's failure to gain greater traction in the mobile commerce space may be one of the biggest explanations behind the slowdown in U.S. mobile commerce growth last quarter. 

Tablets are a bright spot, though. Their traffic share increased year-over-year to 12% from about 7%.

They're nowhere near the traffic share of PCs, but Monetate's data also reveals that tablet conversion rates and average order values are on par with desktop conversions and order values. These are important metrics for mobile retailers. 

Interestingly, the tablet's mobile commerce growth can be attributed primarily to iPad shoppers. The iPad took a majority 51% share of all mobile e-commerce traffic, up from 43% over the last twelve months.
