Tangerine no longer charges for Interac e-Transfers from web, iOS, Android apps

by Aisha Malik

Tangerine, which is a subsidiary of Scotiabank, has made Interac e-Transfers from its web, iOS and Android apps free.

The company previously charged $1 for each Interac e-Transfer.

Tangerine’s website now reads: “Great news, Interac e-Transfer is now free! So add this to your list of great reasons to open a Tangerine Chequing Account for all of your everyday banking needs.”

A number of major banks including RBC, TD, BMO, CIBC and Scotiabank got rid of their Interac e-Transfer fees for some accounts and it seems that Tangerine has finally followed suit.

The iOS and Android apps have recently been updated to offer the free Interac e-Transfers.

To fend off Netflix, movie theatres try 3-screen immersion

by The Associated Press

LONDON — Sit at the back of the movie theatre, and it’s possible to see the appeal of ScreenX, the latest attempt to drag film lovers off the sofa and away from Netflix.

Instead of one screen, there are three, creating a 270-degree view meant to add to the immersive experience you can’t get from home TV.

First adopted in South Korea in 2012, the system is being launched in the U.K. and theatre chain Cineworld plans to add over 100 screens to its worldwide count of 151.

It’s the latest attempt by movie theatres to attract viewers amid the popularity of online subscription services like Netflix and Amazon Prime. They’ve ranged from 3D screens to ultra-high resolution IMAX projectors and 4DX, which features moving chairs and real-life special effects like snow.

Tim Cook wrote a letter to Apple’s American employees following Trump’s presidential win

by Rose Behar

Following the U.S’s divisive November 8th election — which saw Republican candidate Donald Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton to become the President-elect — Apple CEO Tim Cook felt moved to address the situation in a letter to his American staff.

The letter, obtained by Buzzfeed News, encourages employees to “move forward together” regardless of their political affiliation, while also affirming Apple’s commitment to diversity.

In June 2016, Apple refused to fund the Republican Convention, a move that put them at odds with Facebook, Google and Microsoft, which all indicated they would provide some support.

Below is the full text of the letter.

Team,

I’ve heard from many of you today about the presidential election. In a political contest where the candidates were so different and each received a similar number of popular votes, it’s inevitable that the aftermath leaves many of you with strong feelings.

We have a very diverse team of employees, including supporters of each of the candidates. Regardless of which candidate each of us supported as individuals, the only way to move forward is to move forward together. I recall something Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said 50 years ago: “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” This advice is timeless, and a reminder that we only do great work and improve the world by moving forward.

While there is discussion today about uncertainties ahead, you can be confident that Apple’s North Star hasn’t changed. Our products connect people everywhere, and they provide the tools for our customers to do great things to improve their lives and the world at large. Our company is open to all, and we celebrate the diversity of our team here in the United States and around the world — regardless of what they look like, where they come from, how they worship or who they love.

I’ve always looked at Apple as one big family and I encourage you to reach out to your co-workers if they are feeling anxious.

Let’s move forward — together!

Best,

Tim

Ewan McGregor Interested in Two Obi-Wan Movies

by Trevor Starkey

Ewan McGregor has expressed interest in returning to the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in more Star Wars films, and the actor even has a specific story arc in mind.

Talking to French publication Premiere (as translated by Den of Geek) while promoting his directorial debut American Pastoral, McGregor was asked about the classic Star Wars character and mentioned he would be keen to star in a film, or two, that focused on Obi-Wan's time between the prequel trilogy, in which McGregor starred, and the original trilogy, during which Sir Alec Guiness portrayed Obi-Wan.

LG V20 Hands-on: A premium device aiming for multimedia dominance

by Rose Behar

On the eve of the inevitable media circus that is an iPhone unveiling, LG announced its latest smartphone, the V20, an impressively-specced device that carries a generous amount of firsts.

Not only is it the first device to come preloaded with Android 7.0 Nougat and Google’s new In Apps phone search function, it’s also the first smartphone to feature a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC, short for digital-to-analog converter.

This means for buyers with good wired headphones, audio will sound better than other smartphones currently on the market. At the unveiling event, I was able to test out audio quality both on my own Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones, and on a pair of Quincy Jones Reference Headphones Q701 that were supplied by LG to compare the V20’s audio against that of the most recent iPhone.

lgv20-1

Both were impressive, showing surprising depth and articulation. The quality of sound in my Bose headphones was the best I’ve ever experienced, and I was able to pick out little moments, like a drumstick hitting a cymbal, with more precision on the V20 than with the Apple device. I must admit, however, that it took me a considerable amount of switching between phones to really appreciate the difference. This is a feature for true audiophiles.

The DAC, along with the HD Audio recorder– which promises a wider dynamic frequency range using three high AOP microphones– leads LG to call the V20 mobile’s “purest audio experience.”

I put this to the test by trying out the HD Audio recorder in a room full of journalists loudly taking videos of themselves, and it fared well, all things considering. My voice was separated and pushed to forefront, while everything else was relatively muted.

LGV20seconddisplay

The V20 also boasts a premium camera with several features that could make the device a future favourite with photography enthusiasts. The dual camera setup—on both front and rear-facing cameras—allows for wide-angle photos, a benefit I didn’t know I craved until I started using it.

The 5MP front camera has a 120-degree lens, while the 8MP and 16MP rear-facing cameras have 135 degree and 75-degree lenses, respectively.

The camera also has Hybrid Auto Focus, a technology created by integrating laser detection, phase detection and contrast auto focus. When taking a picture, the camera decides whether laser detection or phase detection is best, then refines with contrast auto focus.

This seemed to play a part in the sheer speed with which the device focuses and snaps gorgeous auto-mode pictures. The camera also loads quickly from locked and performs exceptionally in low-light, with its f/1.9 aperture front camera and f/1.8 OIS and f/2.4 aperture rear cameras.

lgv20back

For video, LG is touting a feature it calls Steady Record 2.0, which leverages the electronic image stabilization (EIS) 3.0 technology of the provider of its Snapdragon 820 chipset, Qualcomm. This, says LG, reduces sync latency to 50 milliseconds. The stabilization process is then further improved by digital image stabilization (DIS) in post-processing.

This too works surprisingly well. After intentionally jiggling my arms around while filming, in a manner that would’ve destroyed the video quality on most any other device I’ve used recently (ZTE Axon 7, Moto G4 Plus), the video I took stayed fairly centered and stable.

As mentioned above, the V20 stocks a Snapdragon 820 chipset. It also has 4GB of RAM, 64GB of ROM (expandable up to 2TB) and supports X12 LTE. All this runs on a 3,200 mAh battery, removable by popping off the rear metal casing by use of a small release button on the side. It’s a slightly awkward process, but less so than the LG G5.

lgv20fingerprint

As for appearances, the 5.7-inch display device feels incredibly light, even at a not-insignificant 174 grams, and feels slim for its dimensions of 159.7 x 78.1 x 7.7mm. It has a circular fingerprint sensor positioned on its back.

The QHD IPS quantum display (2560 x 1440) is crisp and vibrant, rivaling Samsung in its immediate ‘wow’ factor. Then there’s the matter of its so-called ‘secondary display,’ the small always-on ticker that runs along the top of the phone and was also a notable aspect of its predecessor, the V10.

The goal appears much the same as Samsung’s edge—a part of the phone dedicated to showing the clock and essential notifications, which never needs to be turned off, and which adds functionality when turned on by providing handy shortcuts.

While I’m still not convinced at the necessity of this concept in general, I do feel it works better as a screen above the display, rather than on the side, where it can be harder to navigate.

lgv20side

Being shipped with the brand new Nougat is an added bonus for the V20, though LG’s UX 5.0+ skin retains many of the unique and often irritating quirks of the previous version, 5.0.

For instance, enabling the app drawer is a multi-step process in settings. All in all, LG’s undignified skin makes it a rather unfortunate launch partner for Nougat.

Another Google innovation that made its launch on the phone is In Apps, a new search mode in the Google app that lets users find content within installed apps on their phone. It works well, turning up a wide spread of information in a timely manner.

The all-metal device will be available in Titan in Canada, though pricing and availability have not been made clear yet. What we do know is that the V20 will first be made available in Korea starting this month “followed by other regions,” and that more information will be announced in the weeks to come. Considering the specs, the device is likely to cost just as much as the LG G5, if not more.

A full review of the LG V20 will be posted on MobileSyrup in the coming weeks.

Withings new Steel HR features 25 days of battery life

by Jessica Vomiero

Nokia announced a new wearable on Thursday that comes complete with a heart rate monitor and 25 days of battery life.

The Withings Steel HR is the first analog activity tracking watch that comes with heart rate monitoring and the ability to push smartphone notifications. The Steel HR can continuously measure heart rate during workouts, throughout the day, while at ease and while the user sleeps. Furthermore, the device offers a digital screen that displays users’ overall health data and smartphone notifications.

The Steel HR will be available in two sizes; 36 mm and 40 mm. The standard 36 mm screen will come with an 18 mm strap and will be available in black and white. The 40 mm will be available with a 20 mm strap and will only be available in black.

The display on this device will stay true to what’s become typical Withings fashion by incorporating hand dials that show the time and a smaller sub-dial that shows the percentage of a users’ daily activity goal achieved. The Steel HR, however, comes with a new digital screen that displays smartphone notifications and health data.

STEEL_HR_KEY_VISUAL-3

Users can choose the information they’d like to be shown on this screen by using the button on the side of the watch. This option also allows users to navigate through data options, including calories burned, daily steps, distance, sleep duration and smart alarm.

The Steel HR has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 25 days. After 25 days of heart monitoring, the device will enter power-save mode which could give users up to 20 days more battery life, during which time the watch will continue to track basic activity.

Users can use the Steel HR to identify how much time during the day was spent in each heart rate zone, providing a more holistic picture of their daily activity.

“Whether you’re an athlete or simply trying to lose a few pounds and get a better handle on your health, knowing your heart rate can help you better understand your overall health and reach your fitness goals. With the wealth of insights it provides and the extended battery life for a health watch of its type, Steel HR truly is the first of its kind,” said Cédric Hutchings, vice president of digital health at Nokia Technologies, in a statement.

STEEL_HR_KEY_VISUAL_4

Withings is the connected health company that was acquired by Nokia in June of this year. Since then, Nokia has pledged a commitment to digital health as a vital part of the company’s future. The acquisition was completed for $191 million, and since then, the two companies have gone on to add the Body Cardio to the company’s line of connected scales as well as launch the Thermo Wi-Fi thermometer.

According to a statement sent to MobileSyrup, the Steel HR will be available starting October exclusively on withings.com. The 36mm version will cost $179.95 US and the 40mm version will cost $199.95 US.

We’ve reached out to Withings to inquire about Canadian availability and will update when we receive a response.

BitTorrent client is found distributing Mac-based malware

by Michael Kan

A popular BitTorrent client called Transmission has again been found distributing Mac-based malware, months after it was used to spread a strand of ransomware.

Researchers at security firm ESET have been following malware called OSX/Keydnap, which can steal passwords, and noticed that it was spreading through Transmission’s official site.

Somehow, a version of the BitTorrent client containing the malware had been recently made available on the site, ESET said in a blog post on Tuesday.

Transmission has already removed the download, according to ESET. But users who downloaded the client between this past Sunday and Monday should check for signs that their Mac has been comprised.

Troubled versus toxic teams

by Paul Glen

Have you ever asked yourself, “Is the group of people I’m working with dysfunctional?” If you haven’t, you’re either oblivious or new to the work world. It’s an important question to ask on a regular basis, because the problems that undermine collective success usually start as small issues, either between people on the team or between the team and its outside stakeholders.

And it’s naturally a difficult question to answer. When you work in the same environment every day, the habits and patterns of behavior become part of the experience of being at work. The nature of the group is hard to discern when you’re a part of it. To ask someone to objectively evaluate his or her own workgroup is like asking a fish to describe water.

To Those Who Are Struggling

Geovanie.revolone

Amazing read to motivate you this friday

By Leo Babauta

On Twitter I met a struggling soul who shared a lack of friends, family, motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

I feel for him because I know what it’s like to struggle, to feel down and even depressed, to have no motivation. I have suffered from confidence problems, many times.

So I’m writing this for him, and all my fellow human beings who are struggling.

You are struggling, maybe even hurting. And that is really difficult. It can feel hopeless, lonely, confining.

These feelings are very real, and really hard. How do you climb out of this when you don’t have the motivation to change? How do you make friends who can help you if you don’t feel the self-esteem and confidence?

I am sorry you’re hurting and struggling. But know that even if you feel alone, you are not alone. I, for one, am connected to you because I’m thinking of you, all of you. I’m connected to you because I too have suffered in similar ways. We have shared pain, shared hopelessness, shared loneliness.

And it’s not just me: every single human being who is alive has felt this kind of pain, hopelessness, and loneliness at one time or another. We are all connected through this shared pain and struggle. We feel alone, and in this we are connected.

The feeling of being alone, separated from the rest of the world, is an illusion. Sure, it’s an illusion that feels very very real. But it’s not true.

Consider: you are supported by millions, even billions, of people. You are using electricity that is powered by an electric company, with thousands of employees working to give you that electricity. You drink water brought to you by yet more thousands of people. You eat food raised and harvested and brought to you by thousands of people. Brought to you on roads built and maintained by thousands of people, on vehicles (ships, trucks, cars, planes) built and run by thousands of people. You wear clothes, use gadgets, sit on furniture, all built and brought by thousands of people. And all those thousands and thousands of people are themselves supported similarly by thousands more.

You are supported by millions of people, and those millions are supported by millions. The entire world supports each other. We became the people we’ve become only because we’ve had that support, we’ve connected to share ideas, learn from each other, serve each other.

I believe this is a miracle. We each are supported by a miracle of connections to every other person on the planet. We feel alone, but it is only an illusion.

The way to rise from this struggle is to turn from your own pain to the pain of others. Who else around you is struggling? How can you offer them love? How can you help them, ease their pain in some way?

By turning outwards, toward the pain of others, we can fill our hearts with love for them, wanting nothing but happiness for them. Then, by this simple turning, we have hearts filled with love. I think that, too, is a miracle.

I can’t take away your pain, but I can offer you two miracles: the love that comes from turning toward other human beings, and the connection we have to everyone on Earth. I feel connected to you, and my heart is filled with love for you.

Microsoft's new plan to save Edge: reward points

by Gregg Keizer

Microsoft today made a play to boost usage of Edge with an awards program that gives users points for browsing with the Windows 10 application.

"Earn points for every hour of active browsing ... up to 30 hours a month," Microsoft announced on a promotional page.

To qualify for points in the new program -- formerly Bing Rewards, rebranded as Microsoft Rewards -- Edge users must have the Bing search engine as the browser's default. Microsoft defined "active browsing" as meeting two conditions: Edge had to be the highlighted icon in the taskbar -- meaning it was the only app in focus on the desktop -- and the user had to be "engaged with the browser" via clicking, mouse movements or watching full-screen video.

Removing Ourselves From the Center of Everything

by zenhabits
By Leo Babauta

When we go about our day, we tell ourselves a story about what’s happening … and at the center of that narrative is a single person.

Ourselves.

When I talk to myself about how so-and-so is inconsiderate or treated me badly, when I tell myself that it’s OK to procrastinate because I’m tired and not in the mood … I’m at the center of this movie. It’s an ongoing story about my life and everything around me, with me at the center.

I’m sure you can relate — you’re at the center of your movie as well. It’s natural, and there’s nothing wrong with doing this.

But some difficulties can arise from this self-centered view of the world:

  • We interpret other people’s actions as it relates to us, so that they are helping or harming us … giving us what we want or getting in the way of what we want. But their actions aren’t really about us — their actions are about them, because they are at the center of their own stories. When we interpret their self-centered actions through the lens of our self-centered view, the actions often make no sense, and frustrate, hurt or infuriate us.
  • When someone makes a comment that we take as an attack on something about ourselves … we then feel the need to defend ourselves. “I’m a good person,” we think, “and they shouldn’t imply that I’m not.” But this interpretation is just a self-centered way of looking at it … we could also see it as saying something about the other person. And if we try to understand where they’re coming from, instead of seeing what it says about us, then we’ll be less defensive or offended.
  • We interpret everything else around us — from bad traffic to Internet comments to terrorist attacks — by thinking about how it affects us. “This sucks (for me),” we think. But we could also remove ourselves from this story and just see that there are things happening in the world, and be curious about them, try to understand them, and see that they are not about us.

Again, it’s natural and normal to interpret everything this way … but you can see that it can cause problems, inhibit understanding and empathy, and make us unhappy at times.

So what can we do?

First, become aware of the stories we tell ourselves.

Next, see that we are putting ourselves at the center.

Then see if we can remove ourselves from the center of the story.

What would the story be without us in it? For me, that story becomes something like:

  • Things are happening — how interesting! What can be learned from them? What can be understood?
  • Someone else is doing something or talking, and it’s probably about them. How can I understand them better?
  • There is difficulty and unhappiness in what other people are saying and doing. How can I feel compassion for them and offer them love?

When I remember to do this — and I very, very often don’t — it lifts the difficulty that I’ve been facing internally and shift my focus to understanding and empathizing with other people, seeing how I can give them compassion.

Of course, I’m not really removed from the story. I’m still there, but just not necessarily at the center of it. Instead, I focus more on my interconnectedness with everyone else, everything else, and see that they have supported me in becoming the person I am, and that I can support them as well.

ZTE wants you to help it builds its next smartphone

by Igor Bonifacic

ZTE’s executives have clearly never seen The Simpsons, because the company announced today it is going forward with plans to build a crowdsourced mobile device.

Announced back at CES 2016 and now called Project CSX, the Chinese company is asking users to head over to its Z-Community forum and submit ideas for a smartphone to be shipped sometime in 2017.

To submit an entry, contestants must register an account on the Z-Community forum and submit an unique entry for a new mobile device. Entries can’t be too outlandish; the company says it will only build a product that features technology that is realistically possible by 2017. The resulting product must also be affordable for the masses.

The winning submission and several well-liked ones will get a cash prize and bragging rights, as well as the chance to see their idea get turned in to reality.

In an interview with Engadget, Jeff Yee, senior vice president of technology planning and partnerships at ZTE, said ZTE “will see this project through,” adding the company is prepared to spend as much as $5-million to develop the product.
