| What Is A Smart Doorbell, And Which Should You Buy? Posted: 17 Sep 2014 10:00 AM PDT  There was a time not long ago when we saw things like a door that unlocked without keys or a thermostat that could be controlled remotely as science fiction.

| Meet Kyle And Stan, A New Malvertising Nightmare Posted: 17 Sep 2014 09:30 AM PDT  Meet Kyle and Stan. No, I’m not talking about the potty-mouthed duo from South Park, but rather the latest Malvertising network from hell. It’s ingenius. It’s pernicious. And it threatens both Mac and Windows users. Malvertising is a portmanteau of ‘malware’ and ‘advertising’. The way it works is simple. Firstly, legitimate online advertising channels are used in order to force browsers to download malicious software. Troublingly, victims don’t even need to be on a suspect website. These malicious adverts have even been served through such innocuous websites like Amazon.com, Apple.com and ads.yahoo.com. Kyle and Stan takes advantage of social engineering in order to...

| iOS 8 Turns Your iPhone Into A Personal Healthcare Monitor Posted: 17 Sep 2014 08:30 AM PDT  Earlier this year Apple announced HealthKit, a new API exclusive to iOS 8 that lets iPhone developers access health and exercise data. Though it looked slick, the company remained mum about its obvious, absent partner; the Apple Watch. Now the Watch has been revealed along with details about its extensive functionality, lifting the veil from HealthKit’s full potential. Here’s how Apple’s new watch will turn your iPhone into a revolutionary device for managing your health and fitness. Update: Apple has announced that due to a bug, third party apps won’t be able to take advantage of HealthKit until the end of the month. Technically that shouldn’t stop iOS 8 from...

| Send Text Messages From Your PC: The Best Services Compared Posted: 17 Sep 2014 08:00 AM PDT  Sending text messages is one of the most used functions of smartphones, so it’s something you likely do dozens of times a day — if not more.
