In a post on the company's blog, Feedly announces that their servers have suffered a distributed denial-of service (DDoS) attack.

An update was published a short while ago saying that the infrastructure is modified so that the online service is restored. Using Twitter as communication channel, Evernote, the popular note-taking service that integrates with Feedly, informed their followers of a similar problem, but later on, the company managed to restore services, which are up and running at the moment. Evernote did not publish other details about the attack, but Feedly informed that the purpose of the service disruption was money extortion.

“Criminals are attacking feedly with a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS). The attacker is trying to extort us money to make it stop,” the company says.

Security experts advise not to give in to ransom requests in order to discourage criminals from such practice; and this is exactly the action Feedly took, as their technicians worked to restore functionality of the service and cooperated with law enforcement to determine the group behind the attack.

“We refused to give in and are working with our network providers to mitigate the attack as best as we can,” says the initial blog post.

Users should not fear about personal details being compromised because the purpose of distributed denial-of-service is to bring down servers by bombarding them with useless data, which, at one point, can no longer be processed by the server. However, such activities can disguise a different type of attack, as was the case with GameOver ZeuS botnet used by cybercriminals to distract victims from noticing a cyberheist.

[UPDATE, June 12]: Feedly made a new post on the company notifying users that the attack has been neutralized and that services are functional on all supported platforms. Updating all users (40 million) may take a few hours, though.

 Nearly a year's worth of whining and rumor-mongering has finally paid off: Grand Theft Auto V is coming to PC this fall, a full year after its debut on last generation's Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. And, for the console crowd, it's also making its way onto the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
The game moved almost a billion dollars in product in its first day last year, so a next-gen/PC release seemed inevitable—it lets Rockstar both double-dip on those who want the definitive version and rope in the (few) people who missed the game the first time around.

Furthermore, you'll be able to transfer your progress from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game to your next-gen platform of choice.

The new version of Grand Theft Auto V will, of course, probably feature higher-resolution textures, anti-aliasing, better lighting, better weather, more traffic, and all the other graphical bells and whistles we've come to expect with this sort of repackaging.

The big excitement with a PC version of GTAV is mod support. Grand Theft Auto IV is still one of the most hilarious repositories of mod content six years after release.

Despite not winning any awards at the Society for Information Display (SID) pedantic conference in San Diego, Nokia stunned everyone with prototypes of its adaptable 5.9-inch OLED panel. The visitant has improved two displays in cooperation with Semiconductor Energy Laboratory (SEL) Co Ltd and Front Medium Pattern (AFD).One of the demo has an awing knowledge to sheepcote to a 2mm radius which is different the flexuous displays from the likes of Samsung and LG which are versatile to a predestinate extent exclusive.

At the discussion, Samsung took the gilded for Exhibit of the Year gift for its 5.68-inch FHD semicircular AMOLED pass while LG G Flex won the golden in Pass Usage of the Gathering for its 6-inch falcate representation. The conference was held to focalise solely on display study and both new original communicate features showcased at the event might not be pronto lendable in devices as of now.

It is anticipated that Nokia strength use much application in its hereafter smartphones but soil now, it has been disagreeable to play innocuous. The accompany showed two of its new pliant displays live week at the discussion in San Diego.

The show has been prefab by placing a colourize filter, TFT and OLED layers between two protection layers and a versatile stratum. When its scenery, the communicate measures 5.9 inches with a presentation breakdown of 1280x720. One of the prototypes could be collapsable in half like a assemblage while the opposite could be rolled into triad folds with a length of 4mm. According to its developers, the displays could be collapsed up to 100,000 times.

A representative for the company confirmed that they had “accidently” launched Slingshot and that the software will be given a full release “soon”.

Screenshots of the app show a minimal interface and a mechanic that apparently forces users to respond to a message before seeing its contents. This would certainly encourage usage – although for some it would undoubtedly feel too much like coercion. When it arrives Slingshot will be the latest in Facebook’s growing mobile empire as it unbundles functions from its core site in favour of dedicated apps.

Slingshot won’t be the first time that Facebook has taken aim at Snapchat either. A hastily-assembled clone of the popular app named Poke was launched in December 2012 before being unceremoniously taken off line in May this year.

As well as Slingshot’s misfire, Facebook – deliberately – announced that PayPal president David Marcus would be moving to the company to head up their mobile expansion. The company has applied for regulatory approval in Ireland to become an “e-money” institution as several other tech giants (including Google and China’s Alibaba) race to become mobile payment platforms.

Earlier today, we had the chance to visit the Gigabyte offices and one of the most exciting products being unveiled at Computex this year is Gigabyte’s Aorus X3 and X3 Plus gaming notebooks.

Unlike most gaming notebooks on the market which are big and bulky, the Aorus X3 and X3 Plus claim to fame is its sub 1″ thick chassis despite harboring hardware that’s generally found in gaming notebooks twice as large and twice as heavy. While the entire Aorus X3 series will contain features such as 4th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, up to 16GB of DDR3L (two slots), Nvidia GeForce GTX 870M 6GB GDDR5 graphics, and up to 1TB of ultrafast storage with two M.2 SATA SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration, the main difference between the Aorus X3 and the X3 Plus is that the the X3 will come with a 13.3″ QHD display (2560×1440) while the X3 Plus will include either a 13.9″ QHD (2560×1440) or 13.9″ QHD+ display (3200×1800).

The Aorus X3 series is expected to be available by Q3 2014 with the QHD models starting at $2,099 and the QHD+ model starting at $2,199.

The only unit I had a chance to get hands on time with is the Aorus X3 Plus and first impressions are quite good. The first thing you’ll really notice about the Aorus X3 Plus (QHD+ model) is its gorgeous IGZO powered QHD+ screen with its 3K resolution. Viewing angles were wide as expected, colors looked accurately reproduced, brightness was good and there were no issues with glare thanks to the screen’s matte finish.

Despite the notebook being on all day, the unit was perfectly comfortable to the touch although Gigabyte did have a laptop cooler underneath the unit since it was resting on a fancy backlit stand that was quite hot. The Aorus X3 Plus does have numerous vents on the bottom of the unit so cooling shouldn’t be a problem irregardless. Construction quality seemed quite good on the entire unit as it is constructed of metal although the metal did feel a bit thin in parts like the screen probably for weight savings. The entire notebook weighs a mere 4.12lbs, which is about the weight of a college textbook or most mainstream 13″ and 14″ notebooks.

A new Android feature, called "Nearby," would allow more interactions between people, places, and things, according to Android Police, citing a source. The feature could be released in an upcoming Google Play service update.

Here's how the Nearby onboarding screen describes it:

So Nearby would know when two devices are near each other and would react accordingly. And, Android Police notes, users would be able to choose what they share, and, of course, whether they want to share at all.

Google would basically be opening up the mic and recording audio from your device, which raises some privacy concerns. Facebook recently released a new feature that users must turn on, which does something similar, and users are creeped out.

Android Police reports that the information wouldn't be known to the devices, helping to alleviate some privacy concerns. "To protect privacy, the information gathered from these various sources on your device would likely travel to Google, and be matched with others' information there, with only the acknowledgment of proximity being revealed to other devices," according to Android Police.

After launching a slew of mid-range handsets in the country, Lenovo is now focussing on the tablet segment. The Chinese PC giant has launched A7-50, an Android-based tablet, priced at Rs 15,499.
Lenovo A7-50 is a Tablet Powered by Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat) and 5 MP Fixed-focus Camera.

Google Public Alerts recently incorporated tweets from locations affected by natural disasters. These notifications will be pushed from places like the National Weather Service and will help keep residents informed during times of duress. The idea behind using tweets is to quickly address public concerns like school closures and community evacuations. Google spreads this type of emergency information through several of its platforms, including Google Maps, Google Now and its Public Alerts website.


For now, this new alert feature is only available to English-speaking regions, however Google says its working on introducing new products to different territories sometime in the future. Although it may be odd seeing Google turning to Twitter for help, it’s good to see rivals put their differences aside for a good cause like public safety.

After having launched on the utmost end smartphones, smear engineering is shortly feat to hit the wearable devices. According to CEO Spasm Bergman, daub study may be obtainable on wearable devices by close period.

Synaptics is well-known troupe that provides earthborn program solutions for consumer electronics companies. The accompany currently provides slur study exclusive to Samsung, which has launched the boast on its stylish flagship Coltsfoot S5. Actress's comments feature triggered speculations that Samsung could be among the prototypal brands to compound slur sensors on its wearable devices.

Addressing the media at the Computex 2014 in Taipei, Actress said "Using smear ID sensors for a bantam eellike demo is not a big dispute."

Synaptics' introductory immature area-type smear sensors is slated to be disclosed in the endorsement half of 2014. The area-type sensors is questionable to touch the selfsame way as TouchUI - which agency soul necessity to residence fingerbreadth over them kinda than swiping it. The engineering module be initially implemented in the smartphones and tablets and then remaining devices thereafter.

Google has announced the Project Tango Tablet Development Kit. The tablet has 3D mapping and sensing capabilities, along with high-end specs and will go on sale for developers later this month for $1,024. Google is taking a similar route it took with its wearable Google Glass glasses. The Project Tango Tablet Development Kit is intended for serious developers and not everyday consumers to provide Google with feedback. The 7-inch tablet is a little cheaper than Glass' $1,500 price tag; developers will be able to sign up to be notified when the Project Tango Tablet Development Kit goes on sale later this year for $1,024.

Project Tango is one of the latest projects Google has opened up to developers and one of its main focuses is its 3D mapping and sensing technology, which will enhance the latest trend that many companies, including Facebook, are focusing on with its purchase of Oculus; virtual experience.
Google has already shown off a prototype of a Project Tango smartphone and the company has just announced the Project Tango Tablet Development Kit via its Google+ page.

"Today, developers excited about Project Tango can start building using the Project Tango Tablet Development Kit. Created in close collaboration with Nvidia, the development kit includes the new Tegra K1 mobile processor to create a platform designed for computer vision and 3D sensing. You can use the Project Tango Tablet Development Kit to make applications that track full 3-dimensional motion and capture surfaces in the environment."

The Project Tango tablet features a 7-inch display and is powered by a very powerful Nvidia Tegra K1 processor and 4 GB of RAM, which will do all the heavy lifting for the resource-intensive task of 3D mapping. It will also be equipped with a 4-megapixel rear camera with motion tracking and integrated depth sensor, along with a front-facing 120 degree camera. Google is including 128 GB of internal storage (no mention of microSD expansion slot) and the tablet will ship with a built-in 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.0 LE (low energy), and GPS.

IIT Kanpur has launched its second supercomputer this week. The new supercomputer is the 5th best in India in terms of its performance and is the best 130th in the world’s top 500 supercomputers list, published in November 2013.

Google has released a fix for faulty redirects on its mobile search — which happens when a website displayed in the search results isn’t properly set up to handle requests from smartphones, and leads you to the mobile site homepage instead.

Starting today, first with English search results in the US, Google will have an indication below the result when it detects that smartphone users will be redirected to a homepage instead of the Web page displayed. You can still click ‘Try anyway’ if you want to reach the homepage.

If any of a site’s pages are redirecting smartphone users to the homepage, Google will also now start sending site owners a message on Webmaster Tools in the ‘Smartphone Crawl Errors’ section.

 
Cyber crime costs the global economy about $445 billion every year, with the damage to business from the theft of intellectual property exceeding the $160 billion loss to individuals from hacking, according to research published on Monday.

The report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said cyber crime was a growth industry that damaged trade, competitiveness and innovation. A conservative estimate would be $375 billion in losses, while the maximum could be as much as $575 billion, said the study, sponsored by security software company McAfee.

"Cyber crime is a tax on innovation and slows the pace of global innovation by reducing the rate of return to innovators and investors," Jim Lewis of CSIS said in a statement.

"For developed countries, cyber crime has serious implications for employment."

The world's biggest economies bore the brunt of the losses, the research found, with the toll on the United States, China, Japan and Germany reaching $200 billion a year in total.
Losses connected to personal information, such as stolen credit card data, was put at up to $150 billion.

About 40 million people in the United States, roughly 15 percent of the population, has had personal information stolen by hackers, it said, while high-profile breaches affected 54 million people in Turkey, 16 million in Germany and more than 20 million in China. McAfee, owned by Intel Corp, said improved international collaboration was beginning to show results in reducing cyber crime, for example in the takedown last week of a crime ring that infected hundreds of thousands of computers known by the name of its master software, Gameover Zeus.

Apple on Monday introduced new operating systems for its Mac computers and mobile devices, including a series of changes intended to help Macs work more seamlessly with iPhones and iPads.

For Mac operating system, OS X

• The next Mac operating system will be named Yosemite, after the national park.
• Yosemite will have a translucent design. The notification centre will use that design, for instance, to give you an advance look at your calendar, weather and other information.
• You'll be able to search for content on the computer and on the internet at once, similar to a feature that came with Microsoft's Windows 8.1 system.
• Apple is expanding its iCloud storage service so that you can store and sync files of any type, not just the ones designed specifically for iCloud. It's similar to how services such as Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft's OneDrive let you work with the same files on multiple devices more easily.
• A Mail Drop feature will make it easier to send large files. Instead of pushing the entire file by email and overloading mail servers, the Mac will create a link that the recipient can click for the full file.
• The Mac's Safari web browser will have more privacy controls and ways to share links more easily.
• The free Mac update will be out this fall. A version is available for developers Monday. This summer, Apple will also make a test version available to selected customers who aren't developers.

For iPhones, iPads

• Like the new Mac OS, the iOS 8 system will have a universal search tool to cover both files on your device and content on the internet. It will also get the iCloud Drive service.
• A "quick type" feature promises predictive typing suggestions. For example, if you start typing, "Do you want to go to," the phone will suggest "dinner" or "movie" as the next word. Currently, the suggestions are limited to spelling corrections.
• A "do not disturb" feature will make it easier to stop notifications on a conversation with just a swipe, while a "tap to talk" feature records and sends audio messages to a recipient so you don't have to type.
• IOS 8 will have a built-in health-management tool to help people track their vital signs, diet and sleeping habits. Apple's chief rival, Samsung Electronics Co., incorporated fitness-related features in its latest flagship phone, the Galaxy S5.
• Apple announced new technology for controlling garage doors, thermostats and other home systems, although the company didn't say how all the pieces will be linked together through what it calls HomeKit.
• The new software will likely come with new devices for the holiday season, with free updates available for recent models.
• Apple will also let app developers sell bundles at discounted prices.
• The fingerprint security system on the iPhone 5s will be accessible to apps written by outside parties. Previously, it was limited to Apple functions, such as unlocking the phone and verifying iTunes purchases.

Amazon has posted a YouTube video to tease a major product launch on June 18 at an event in Seattle, hinting towards the launch of its much rumored smartphone. The event will be hosted by Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos, who will most likely unveil the company’s smartphone at the event.

This video runs for 50-second to show off a hunch of people looking at something mysterious, which is intestinally kept off camera, and getting overly excited by the discreet product. They are also passing comments like “It’s very real-life,” and “I don’t know how you guys do it.”

BGR Classic has earlier exclusively reported that there are two Amazon smartphones currently under development, out of which one is the higher-end device with a 4.7-inch 720p display, Snapdragon processor, and 2GB of RAM. Amazon is actually focusing on offering a unique user experience by offering glass-free 3D effects on its display. BGR Classic had also revealed photos of the phone.
The phone will come with four cameras situated on each of the phone’s corners on the front which will actually be low-power infrared cameras. These cameras will constantly track the user’s eyes and face and head movements to give a 3D effect to the interface. Considering that the people featured in this video too are moving their heads from side to side to possibly gaze at this 3D interface from different angles.


Amazon is also said to be deeply integrating this capability into the OS as well as its online store. For instance, a user will be able to change the viewpoint on a map on the phone my simply tilting the phone. Also, a user will be able to see a product from different angles while shopping for products on the phone.

HP has announced a slew of new devices for the Indian market. The product line-up includes 2-in-1 notebooks, business-friendly tablets, All-in-One PCs and a business desktop PC.

The Department of Telecom has rejected Vodafone's request for the extension of its licences in seven circles. These licences were given for a twenty year period and are set to expire in December 2015. The seven circles includes Maharashtra, Gujarat and UP (East). Vodafone had written to the department seeking an extension of the licences for another 10 years. The other circles are Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Rajasthan.

The DoT, however, said that "circumstances have materially changed" since the original licences were granted in 1995 and there is no immediate need for an extension of the licences. "Your request for extension of licences cannot be acceded to," DoT said. "Vodafone may apply for Unified Licence at appropriate time and obtain spectrum through market-related process for continuing the service in the service areas."

This is not the first time that Vodafone has sought extension of its licences in order to maintain continuity of operations and retain spectrum. The company had made a similar plea last year ahead of the spectrum auctions in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata in early 2014. However, the government had rejected the demand that had prompted Vodafone and other operators to compete for spectrum acquisition. A legal challenge on the matter is, however, still pending in the courts.

Vodafone holds spectrum in both 900 MHz and 1,800 MHz bands in the seven circles and a fresh auction could result in new and hefty investments by the company, which has just realized its first profit in the country in the previous fiscal. The company had spent Rs 19,600 crore in the February auctions where it bagged 900 MHz and 1,800 MHz spectrum in around a dozen circles.

Rejecting Vodafone's plea, the DoT also made a mention of Supreme Court's February 2012 judgment that said that scarce natural resources like spectrum should be distributed through a non-discriminatory method like auctions as this will result in protection of national/public interest.
DoT also spoke about the National Telecom Policy that had advocated de-linking of spectrum from future licences and recommended its availability at prices determined through market-related processes like auctions.

India has emerged as one of the fastest growing smartphone markets in Asia Pacific in the first quarter of this year. According to IDC's latest report, India was the highest growing market in Asia Pacific with a year-on-year smartphone shipment growth of over 186% in 1Q 2014.The vast majority of the country's user base migrated to smartphones from feature phones and as a result Indian smartphone market outshone other emerging markets like China which registered a year-on-year growth of 31% in 1Q 2014.

According to the IDC, the overall India mobile phone market stood at close to 61.07 million units in 1Q 2014 which is a 10% quarter-on-quarter dip and a mere 1% year-on-year growth. The dip in the overall mobile phone market shipments can be attributed to the 18% decline in the feature phone shipments from 4Q 2013 to 1Q 2014. This was offset by the smartphone market, where units shipped grew by close to 17% in 1Q 2014 compared to 4Q 2013. The consistent growth in the smartphone market is driven by enhanced consumer preference for smart devices and narrowing price differences.
The share of feature phones in the overall market further slipped further to 71% in 1Q 2014 which is a considerable decrease from 90% share in 1Q 2013.

The India smartphone market grew by a whopping 186% year-on-year in 1Q 2014. According to IDC Asia Pacific Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker (excluding Japan), vendors shipped a total of 17.59 million smartphones in 1Q 2014 compared to 6.14 million units in the same period of 2013. The shipment contribution of "phablets" (which IDC defines as 5.5 inch-6.99 inch screen size smartphones) in 1Q 2014 was noted to be around 5% of the overall market. The category grew by 125% in 1Q 2014 in terms of sheer volume over 4Q 2013. The primary reason behind this trend is the launch of low-end phablets by international and local vendors alike.

"This rapid pace of growth in smartphones is expected to continue in India. While we notice that much of the growth is coming from low-cost devices using the Android operating system, Windows is making adequate gains too based on the strength of the entry level product mix in smartphones," comments Kiran Kumar, Research Manager- Client Devices at IDC India.

Top Five Smartphone Vendor Highlights
Samsung maintained its leadership in the smartphone market with 35% market share in 1Q 2014. High volumes came in from the low-end devices like S7262 Galaxy Star Pro Dual SIM and Galaxy S Duos 2 S7582.

Micromax held onto its 2nd position with approximately 15% market share. The top selling models for Micromax came in from the low-end Bolt Series.

Karbonn was 3rd position with approximately 10% market share. Its low-end range of 2G smartphones did well in 1Q 2014.

LAVA climbed up to the 4th position with close to 6% market share. New XOLO launches like A500S and A500 have fared well.

Nokia made its way back to the top 5 list with about 4% market share. The Nokia X launch coupled with other low-end Lumia phones helped in improving the overall performance of the brand.

Google has plans to make its email more secure, using add-on encryption software that will work like any other extension for Google Chrome. On its security blog Tuesday, Google announced it’s preparing a Chrome extension called End-to-End to make heavy-duty encryption easier for anyone to use.

Google already offers HTTPS, but its own email stats show only about half of Gmail messages are secured this way. HTTPS does protect Gmail messages while they’re in transit — the TP in HTTPS stands for "transfer protocol." The OpenPGP standard Google is using in End-to-End will help secure Gmail messages while they’re at rest on the sender or receiver’s machine.

They’ll have to be encrypted and decrypted with public and private keys — so not quite as easy as refreshing your inbox — but as Google says, it will probably appeal to “those who need added protection.”

Google has released the source code for community review before it goes live.

Facebook-owned photo sharing app Instagram, has rolled out v6.0 for Android and iOS. The update brings new photo-editing tools that allow users to adjust the contrast, brightness, saturation and other features of pictures they take with their smartphones. The version 6.0 of Instagram for Android and iOS is available on the Google Play Store and Apple app store, though when the tools will reach the Windows Phone version of the app has not been mentioned in the blog post.

The Instagram filters allows users to enhance photos or add different hues to them, for eg, you can make an image look like it was taken with a Polaroid camera in the 1970s. The new Instagram functionality allows users to fine tune the creative effects of their photos as opposed simply using a filter on top of them, making it a fully-fledged photo-editing app.

The tools are available via a wrench-shaped icon which appears after a filter has been selected. Apart from adding new 'creative tools', existing tools have also been improved including photo and video upload.

The latest Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) Mobility Report reveals for the first time that the number of active cellular M2M devices will increase 3-4 times by 2019, from 200 million at the end of 2013. While the majority of cellular M2M devices today are still GSM-only, that is expected to shift by 2016 when 3G/4G will represent the majority of active cellular M2M subscriptions.

• New analysis: Machine-to-Machine (M2M) takes off with active cellular M2M devices to grow 3-4 times by 2019
• 65 percent of all phones sold in Q1 2014 were smartphones
• Mobile subscriptions to exceed world population in 2015
• 4G/LTE subscriptions to reach 85 percent in North America and 30 percent in Europe in 2019
