Tony Stark has made his mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by being the smartest character in the franchise, a fact that he has repeatedly proven and reminded everyone in each movie he’s appeared in. However, in Black Panther, fans were officially introduced to Shuri, T’Challa’s younger sister. Shortly after her introduction, she was confirmed to be the smartest character in the MCU, even more so than Tony. While she hasn’t been in the franchise as long as him, she does have a long list of achievements that rivals his....

Unfortunately, the code was leaked and ended up in the wrong hands, resulting in today’s situation. Critical emergency services such as hospitals and law enforcement in the UK have been broadly impacted by ‘Wanacrypt’. The end result being, if you don’t have a backup of your system with an App like Crashplan that keeps all versions of all your files, you’re out of luck. Unless that is you’re running a modern operating system like Windows 10....

The company says: “Whether scheduling a ride to the airport or checking your social updates, do it with ease from the comfort of your PC without having to take your phone out of your bag or go back and forth between devices.” The feature is set up via the Your Phone app via what Microsoft calls “phone screen” and is still early development....

What? Well, plan is that the company is doing some more of its famed Office Paperclip magic, changing Windows Genuine Advantage (which no one likes because the only genuine advantage it offers is to MSFT)…anyway, so the new look to combating piracy of the OS the company spent years pushing at people in order to make it pervasive means those using pirated copies of Windows (why pirate it, when you can simply not use it?...

Procurement types in info record Standard A standard info record contains information for standard purchase orders. The info records can be created for materials and services with and without master records. Subcontracting A subcontractor info record contains ordering information for subcontract orders.

It appears Microsoft may finally unveil an iPad version of its bread and butter Office productivity suite. More interestingly, the launch seems timed with a possible on stage presentation at the iPad 3 event in a few weeks. Remember when Roz Ho, former head of the MS Mac Business Unit, was a staple at Apple events? Me neither. However, the question comes up: Why would Apple, who has pushed the iWork apps for iPad since day one, want to give Microsoft a stage to showcase its competition?...

This issue may have also caused some Insiders to have more reliability issues with explorer.exe.We fixed an issue impacting Windows Forms applications where the ImmSetOpenStatus() API wasn’t changing the IME mode correctly when setting focus to text fields while using the new Japanese or Chinese IMEs....

Photo: E24.no Dag Kittlaus, a 44-year-old from Norway, is living an American dream with his wife and three kids in a nice Chicago suburb. His life took a turn for the better following a special phone call from Apple last year. Norwegian publication E24!, which profiled the entrepreneur in a lengthy article, explains that Steve Jobs himself bothered to give Kittlaus a buzz. The reason? Apple’s late CEO wanted to discuss an acquisition offer for a startup Kittlaus co-founded in 2007 along with chief architect of the CALO project at SRI Adam Cheyer, semantic web genius Tom Gruber and Norman Winarsky....

If you ask people about what bugs them the most about their phones, it would be battery draining problems. The thing is, this problem can occur due to constant use or due to a number of reasons such as apps, cache memory, and bugs, viruses, etc that can exploit the battery out of its juices. Also, since the battery has a lifecycle that runs on thousands, constant charging and draining might have weakened the battery towards its end as well....

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R98sgmllCEg] To me, it is interesting to see Microsoft taking the underdog approach. Desktop PCs [read: Microsoft Windows computers] still have huge market share but have been declining while MacBooks continue to grow every quarter. The ultraportable market is where the MacBook Air is the incumbent. It’s an epic dance-off between the new Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro and the MacBook Air. But does the MacBook Air stand a chance against the sleekness and multi-mode flexibility of the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro?...

Microsoft releases Security Updates on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. In the “industry” it’s called “Microsoft Super Tuesday.” I usually don’t talk about it much because it’s been happening for years and under most normal circumstances your Windows machine will Auto-Update using Windows Update or WSUS if you have a Corporate machine. Once in a Blue Moon Microsoft will release a security patch “out of band.” It’s only happened once this year (not counting yesterday’s release) so when they do it, it’s pretty serious....

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is living his best sober life. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star celebrated four years of sobriety on December 5. The former party animal became known for drinking in excess, showing off his six-pack, and ramming his head into concrete walls during the early seasons of Jersey Shore. After several stints in rehab for an addiction to prescription medications including Xanax and oxycodone, Sorrentino has changed his ways....

The MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries opening cinematic has been released ahead of the game’s launch in December, and fans have been immediately impressed by how much the game looks and feels like the traditional experience that last featured a single-player campaign in 2002. MechWarrior is one of the flag-bearers for the mech genre of video games and an innovator of many of the systems and design decisions that have later characterized other transcendent offerings like Titanfall 2....

The investigation of the SolarWinds hack was a case study in incident response and teamwork. FireEyes initially discovered and disclosed the incident, and multiple other companies built on their discovery, identifying additional malware variants and infection vectors used alongside the original malware. The reports published by these organizations have created a treasure trove of data for those organizations wishing to learn if they are affected by the hack, and, if so, the scope and impact of the compromise....

Support for Adobe Flash Ending in Three Years Today, Adobe announced on its blog that it intends to sunset flash in favor of newer technologies like HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly. The plan is to drop support by 2020 officially. Microsoft also contributed details on its plans to remove support for Flash from Windows by 2020. Through the end of 2017 and into 2018, Microsoft Edge will continue to ask users for permission to run Flash on most sites the first time the site is visited, and will remember the user’s preference on subsequent visits....

Once you finish installing, the Add-in will show up in Outlook under the Add-ins ribbon. The Bing Travel Planner will open up in its separate window. Unfortunately, as of now, the beta is looking pretty sad. The Bad It’s just a crummy browser that opens up the Bing website....
