Use emoticons to make your password more robust

Samsung or Dell

Hi Guys, I'm going to buy a new notebook, probably just before Christmasmm, and I must admit I have some doubts about the final choice. I am considering the purchase either [b]Samsung Ativ Book 8[/b] ([url=http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Samsung-ATIV-Book-8-Touch-880Z5E-X01-Notebook.102303.0.html)or]http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Samsung-ATIV-Book-8-Touch-880Z5E-X01-Notebook.102303.0.html) [/url]or [b]Dell Inspiron 7537 [/b]([url=http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Inspiron-15-7537-Notebook.104976.0.html).]http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Inspiron-15-7537-Notebook.104976.0.html).[/url] Both have a 15"6 Touch Full HD screen and 8 GB memory. The main differences: CPU - Dell has i7 Haswell, while Samsung has got i7 IvyBridge Graphics - Dell with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2GB and Samsung with AMD Radeon HD 8870M 2GB. Choosing Dell I have better opportunities to set up configuration and there is also SSD Hard Drive, which makes the performance increased. Choosing Samsung

Firefox update V. 57 disabled Webroot Filtering Extension (& other things that did not meet their new standard)

Received notice from Firefox that they were disabling all Add-ons that don't meet "current Firefox standards", & those items are now missing. They include a very important one: Webroot Filtering Extension, which also means I don't get the green checkmarks on Bing & Google search engines, for safe links. Firefox is my preferred browser. I don't trust IE for privacy issues, & the last 4 times I D/Led & set up Chrome, it came with some malware--haven't tried it in several years. I don't want to stop using Firefox, but neither do I want to lose Webroot's Filtering Extension. Is there ay other solution besides to stopusing Firefox till Webroot jumps through the hoops Firefox is requiring? Leslie

CNET Review: New Razer Blade gaming laptop shrinks down to ultrabook size

Is PC gaming getting conservative? Razer, the PC peripherals manufacturer, is now a risk-taking newcomer to the world of PC gaming laptop hardware. The Razer Edge gaming tablet and funky second-screen Razer Blade gaming laptop were bold moves, both of which made experimental departures from a somewhat stale gaming-laptop pattern. Yet, the newly announced 14-inch Razer Blade is a throwback: no touch screen. No Switchblade second-screen clickpad. No convertible tablet mode. This is a laptop. A very thin, very sleek gaming laptop, the type you'd recognize.

Opera Browser Gets a New UI

[b]February 17, 2017  By [url=https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/author/catalin-cimpanu/]Catalin Cimpanu[/url][/b]   Starting with Opera 44, currently the Developer Edition, Opera will receive a brand new user interface, which includes a few minor changes compared to the existing UI, along with a new major feature, which is Facebook Messenger integration.   The new UI isn't all that different from the current Opera UI, but it's more refined and simplistic, and it certainly does its job, as no browser looks like Opera anymore.   The new UI also includes support for a light and dark theme, which can be activated from the sprocket icon in the top-right corner of the Speed Dial tab.       [img]https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/u/986406/Software/Opera/Opera1.png[/img]   [u][url=https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/opera-browser-gets-a-new-ui/]Full Article[/url][/u]

Mozilla adds easy download monitoring to Firefox for OS X

If you are a Firefox user, you may have noticed that yesterday Mozilla released an updated version of the browser. This new update includes a number of security updates and graphics optimizations, but in addition OS X users are now able to monitor downloads directly in the Dock. When you download a file in [url=http://download.cnet.com/mac/browsers/2001-2137_4-0.html]Safari[/url] or prior versions of [url=http://www.cnet.com/firefox-3/]Firefox[/url], the download process can be followed by going to a special Downloads window, where you can monitor overall and individual download progress; however, this requires you to keep such a window open. Even though Safari's downloads toolbar menu will show an overall progress bar, this still requires the menu to be visible on screen.   [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/4494i9A4FF8188575833C.png[/img]With Firefox 22, Mozilla has added a download progress bar to the Application's Dock icon, which will give you a

How to Enable / Disable Dark Mode Theme on DuckDuckGo

Want to change the browser color theme on the DuckDuckGo.com search engine to a dark theme or light theme? It’s easy to adjust the appearance to dark or light theme on DuckDuckGo if you’d like to do so.First, know that DuckDuckGo search typically follows the current system theme on the computer or device in use, so if a Mac is actively running dark mode or light mode, or an iPhone or iPad is in dark mode or light mode, the search engine appearance usually reflects that as well. We’re showing how to set it manually however.➡️ Full Article ⬅️

As Build 17133 progressed through the rings, we discovered some reliability issues we wanted to fix. In certain cases, these reliability issues could have led to a higher percentage of (BSOD) on PCs for example. Instead of creating a Cumulative Update package to service these issues, we decided to create a new build with the fixes included. This just reinforces that Windows Insiders are critical t

export passwords to Firefox

Hi peeps!   I downloaded Firefox last night as suggested by a help notice that kept flashing up when getting a 'oops! snap?' (something like that) message.  I'd like to know if there's an easy way to export/import all my passwords from Chrome.  It's amazing how much you use passwords and how upsetting it is when, like me, have been relying on Chrome to remember them for you.  Is there any way to see the passwords so that I could manually re-enter them all in Firefox?   Loopy

According to a post on the official company blog: [quote]We believe that it might actually be possible to build a ring of balloons, flying around the globe on the stratospheric winds, that provides Internet access to the earth below. It's very early days, but we've built a system that uses balloons, carried by the wind at altitudes twice as high as commercial planes, to beam Internet access to the ground at speeds similar to today's 3G networks or faster.[/quote]Google says it hopes the floating network could be used to connect remote, rural and underserved areas, something I
