using windows 7 you are at risk?

based on this advice, can we also "retire" the 8th layer of my network (see OSI model), as it is certainly the most vulnerable and provides the biggest security issues...

Don't mention the war..

It is just a good job the entire world and his dog have not been spamming all 7 Billion humans on the planet with email, adverts, videos, wall posters, billboards and the rest, with news of impending GDPR guidelines.

I mean, if THAT had been the case, TSB would have no excuse whatsoever for such a shocking data leakage.

Luckily, it was only mentioned the once and I think they got away with it...

The glaring solution.

I am eagerly awaiting Airbus' announcement next week to outline their "Aeronautical roof rack" system for the transportation of my beloved personal effects as we cruise at 40,000ft in our sleep to New York....

I continue to be surprised that the only "big name" manufacturer targeting education with their tablets is one that that has a model whereby individuals are silo'd - you get one instance of your data on each of their devices. Expecting you to buy a pad, a phone and a computer.

Education needs multiple profiles to be available on one device, the opposite of Apple...

The fact that Microsoft have not twigged to this yet boggles my brain...

A domain aware tablet, targeted to schools...... Am I the only one that sees the perfect fit?

Business Market Niche not spotted?

I was always amazed that a decent work device was not released, and allowed Apple to keep that role. Apple phones are not really designed for work based use, especially with the majority being used in a MS windows Domain based environment. It is a device that sys-admins struggle to manage correctly - although MDM is changing that now.

If Nokia had managed to provide a device that is domain aware, and managed via Group policy (with the help of Microsoft) and the historic reputation of how solid their hardware is. Coupled with the lack of data slurping, I could see Nokia carving a niche out for themselves that the others just cannot touch.

Alas, it didn't go that way, I am still waiting for a device to fill that role and make my job a lot easier, especially as GDPR looms...

Chrome anyone

This sounds amazing!.... It will be so refreshing to side load an app that allows one direction sync of my browsing and tries to force me to us MS Edge..

I have had to put up with the pretty seamless 2-way sync within Chrome on my desktop and Chrome on my Android phone and indeed Android tablet.

My suggestion is Tom Hardy. He mixes the smooth get-your-knickers-off look with the hard I-could-kill-you-in-2-seconds look..

Capation compeTITion

Vanessa had been dreading "bring your family to work" day. Finally they realised her play on words when she had said the job was in "Silicon valley"...

IoE device?

I am very surprised that the article didn't suggest it might be some kind of Internet of Everything device!

Simple solution for the cops- have a big car auction and sell off all their "unmarked" cars. Next they spend their now bulging budget for cars on some nice new, un-recorded cars.

the public get some well looked after cars with a few doughnut and coffee stains and the perps are no longer one step ahead of the cops.
