Such is the nature of Computex -- arguably one of the most powerful technology shows in the world. However, one of the most fascinating was Windows Holographic, which goes far beyond Hololens to redefine the world as we perceive it. [More...] |

Windows Holographic: Changing Our Perception of the World
There were a lot of interesting announcements last week, ranging from cool new devices to what was basically an Amazon Echo on wheels from

Banking Trojans Take Backseat to Ransomware
The banking trojan -- a type of malware used to steal credentials for bank accounts -- has been a staple of cyberthieves for years. However,
ransomware, which has proven both easy to use and highly successful, has
started eroding its popularity. In a typical banking trojan attack, a
robber mounts a phishing campaign to entice a target to open an
attachment or click on a link.

Google's Magenta AI Tickles the Ivories
The Google Brain team on Wednesday released a tune created by machine intelligence. The composition is part of Project Magenta, which seeks to

art and music on their own.

project of Hewlett Packard Enterprises, Broadcom, VMware, Accton, Intel
and Arista. OpenSwitch is an open source, Linux-based network operating
system, or NOS, that works with enterprise-grade switches from multiple
vendors.
