It's time to welcome the unofficial start of summer! Yes folks,
it's the long Memorial Day weekend (here in the U.S.); and we're
starting it off with a warm bang! I'm looking forward to throwing
a few steaks on the grill, and making sure that the beers are
stocked-up in the fridge! Hopefully, you all have similar plans!
So, sit back, relax, and have a cold one on me! I apologize for
such a small issue this week, but it was really slow for tech news

There May Be Two New Xbox One Consoles on the Way
Already tired of that Xbox One youíve got? Good news: Microsoft
is apparently preparing two new ones to put in your living room.
Thatís according to anonymous sources who told gaming site Kotaku
that not just one but two new versions of the Xbox One are in the
works.
One, expectedly, is described as a ìcheaper, smaller Xbox Oneî ó
a ìslimî version of the current Xbox One, basically, which makes
perfect sense given the history of game consoles. Sonyís been
giving its game consoles this kind of treatment since the original
PlayStation, and Microsoft revised the Xbox 360 twice before
moving on to the Xbox One.
More interesting, however, is the second new Xbox One that
Microsoft is reportedly working on.
The mysterious second console is reportedly codenamed ìScorpio,î
and is said to be released in 2017. So, howís it different from
the current Xbox One? Reportedly, it's more powerful ó powerful
enough to run the Oculus Rift VR headset, which currently
requires a pretty hefty PC (both in terms of horsepower and
cost) to run ó and may have a ton of storage (2TB).
Maybe more important than any of this is what it could mean for
the bigger picture future of the Xbox. Sources told Kotaku that
the Xbox ó as a platform, like Appleís iPhone or Googleís Android
ó may move toward a more phone-like approach to new versions.
Think of it like this: Every few years, Microsoft could release a
slightly more powerful Xbox that works with previous versions and
adds the ability to play games that are even better looking.
That said, all of this is unconfirmed by Microsoft; the company
didnít respond to a request for comment. Xbox head Phil Spencer,
though, has indicated previously that the Xbox platform is going
to move toward a more iterative release process. Hereís Spencer
speaking during Microsoftís Xbox Spring Showcase event in
February 2016:
When you look at the console space, I believe we will see more
hardware innovation in the console space than weíve ever seen.
Youíll actually see us come out with new hardware capability
during a generation allowing the same games to run backward and
forward compatible because we have a Universal Windows Application
running on top of the Universal Windows Platform that allows us to
focus more and more on hardware innovation without invalidating
the games that run on that platform.
One thingís for sure: With Sonyís PlayStation 4 having long ago
taken the sales lead over Microsoftís Xbox One, Microsoftís in a
bind. The company tried dropping the Xbox Oneís price below that
of the PlayStation 4, which worked for a little while before Sony
retook the lead. Sony has otherwise led console sales with its
PlayStation 4 month-after-month for much of the life of both game
consoles.
The report from Kotaku also notes that the smaller Xbox One is
likely to be revealed in the next few weeks at the companyís E3
2016 press conference (an annual trade show for video games in
Los Angeles). Which is to say it shouldnít be too long before we
find out how legit this all is.
Check out the full report on Kotaku!
Report Claims First Xbox One Virtual Reality Game is Coming in 2017
An unnamed but ìmajorî development studio is working on a virtual
reality game for the Xbox One, Ars Technica reports, fueling
speculation surrounding a possible hardware revision.
The Xbox One does not currently feature support for virtual
reality headsets, but rumors from earlier this week suggest that
Microsoft is planning to introduce Oculus Rift compatibility when
revised Xbox One hardware hits retail in 2017.
According to Ars Technicaís report, the game in question featured
the acronym ìVRî in its working title, and is also in development
for the PlayStation 4 and PCs. The game is reportedly built with
virtual reality headsets in mind, leading Ars to believe that
ìthis isnít merely a VR-compatible game that happens to have a
more traditional Xbox One version.î
Though it did not divulge the name of the game, Ars notes that it
is part of ìan established, long-running franchiseî developed by
ìa well-known European studio.î The title is expected to be
revealed at next monthís Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los
Angeles ahead of a multiplatform release in 2017.
Rumors regarding a forthcoming Xbox One hardware upgrade reignited
this week when multiple anonymous sources spoke to Kotaku and
Polygon about ìScorpio,î the alleged codename for a revised Xbox
One console hitting retail in 2017. Reportedly boasting a faster
GPU, the Scorpio model ìwill be over four times more powerful than
the current Xbox One,î according to Polygonís sources.
Anonymous developers additionally claim that Scorpio is
ìtechnically capableî of supporting the Oculus Rift VR headset and
compatible games. Neither Microsoft nor Oculus responded to
requests for details regarding a rumored partnership that would
introduce Oculus Rift support for the Xbox One. Acknowledging but
not confirming this weekís reports, Xbox division head Phil
Spencer indicated that Microsoftís hardware plans will be
unveiled at E3 on June 13.
Rival console manufacturer Sony is also planning a hardware
revision for its PlayStation 4, according to anonymously sourced
reports. The rumored PlayStation 4 ìNEOî model is believed to
feature a faster CPU and GPU, along with support for 4K
resolutions. To date, Sony has not commented regarding the
possibility of upgraded console hardware.
The PlayStation 4 Is The Most Popular Game Console in The World
Sonyís just passed 40 million PlayStation 4 consoles sold since
launch in November 2013.
That makes PlayStation 4 the top-selling game console in the
world at the moment, over Microsoftís Xbox One (~21 million) and
Nintendoís Wii U (~13 million).
About one-tenth of those owners are new owners, as of the past
few months: Sony sold just over 4 million PlayStation 4 consoles
between early January 2016 and May 22, 2016. That puts sales in
the neighborhood of 1 million sold every month, which keeps it
locked in as the fastest-selling PlayStation game console of all
time.
This isnít a new position for Sonyís PlayStation 4 ó the console
has been on top (in terms of sales) since it launched, more or
less. Thereís been the occasional blip, with Xbox One outselling
PlayStation 4 here and there, but the PS4 has largely dominated
sales (and the attention of millions) since it first launched in
November 2013.
How far ahead is Sony compared to the competition? Pretty far, at
this point.
We know that Nintendoís console, the Wii U, is selling terribly.
Compared to Sonyís 40 million PlayStation 4 consoles, Nintendo
had sold just under 13 million when it last reported numbers back
in March 2016. Worse? The Wii U has been available for a full year
longer than the PlayStation 4.
As far as Microsoft goes, the company stopped reporting worldwide
sales numbers for the Xbox One many months ago. Instead, Microsoft
trumpets its usage numbers ó how many hours people spend playing
Xbox One games, for example. The closest we have to numbers is an
approximation based on something that game publisher EA said
during an investor call, which put the Xbox One in the
neighborhood of 20 million sold (this was back in late January
2016, so weíd expect another one to three million sold since that
was reported).
With Sonyís PlayStation VR headset launching this fall, and
great-looking, highly-anticipated games like ìThe Last Guardianî
launching on the PlayStation 4 this year, itís unlikely that Sony
will lose its pole position anytime soon.

The Latest in Computer Technology News

Facebook Denies Bias in Trending Topics, But Vows Changes Anyway
Facebook responded today to official queries regarding its
Trending Topics feature, specifically allegations made over the
last few weeks that the team responsible for it was deliberately
suppressing conservative views and arbitrarily elevating stories
with little oversight.
In a press release issued publicly and in a letter (PDF) sent
directly to Senator John Thune (R-SD), Facebook denied the
allegations, but nevertheless announced a number of changes to
internal processes that should help appease critics.
Our investigation has revealed no evidence of systematic
political bias in the selection or prominence of stories included
in the Trending Topics feature. In fact, our analysis indicated
that the rates of approval of conservative and liberal topics are
virtually identical in Trending Topics.
At the same time, as you would expect with an inquiry of this
nature, our investigation could not exclude the possibility of
isolated improper actions or unintentional bias in the
implementation of our guidelines or policies.
Specifically, Facebook looked at how and when stories were
ìboosted,î ìblacklisted,î or submitted to ìinjection,î or
correction ó and found that rates ìhave been virtually identical
for liberal and conservative topics.î
Senate committee asks Facebook to answer questions about its
Trending Topics
Facebook now directly denies report of biased trends, says
there's no evidence
Part of the problem, as described by the anonymous ex-Trending
Topics curators whose testimony informed the accusations, was a
lack of oversight ó and plain bad management.
Among the changes to the program are ìadditional controls and
oversight around the review teamî ó and presumably further
oversight of the oversight team itself, since watching the
watchers is highly important in a situation like this, with an
editorial team encapsulated within a decidedly non-editorial
environment.
In addition to the extra red tape, the process of finding and
selecting Trending Topics items is getting a makeover:
The huge list of RSS feeds relied on by reviewers will be
retired ó though what will replace it was not specified.
Reviewers will not be able to simply assign an ìimportance
levelî based on its position in the top 10 news outlets (a list
which, per the item above, will no longer even exist).
Facebookís ìHelp Centerî page on Trending Topics will be
updated to better reflect the feature ó anyone who thought it
was all up to some AI or algorithm will be disabused of that
notion.
If you were curious about the exact process by which a story goes
from hashtag or local news to Trending Topic, read the letter to
Sen. Thune; it contains lots of previously unknown details, though
many will now be obsolete. Specific allegations of bias ó for
instance, that stories about Glenn Beck (who wrote an interesting
take on his own meeting with Facebook on this topic) were
suppressed ó are also addressed.
Senator Thune issued his own statement today as well, praising
Facebookís handling of the issue but at the same time getting a
couple jabs in.
The seriousness with which Facebook has treated these
allegations and its desire to serve as an open platform for all
viewpoints is evident and encouraging and I look forward to the
companyís actions meeting its public rhetoric.
Facebookís description of the methodology it uses for
determining the trending content it highlights for users is far
different from and more detailed than what it offered prior to
our questions.
In other words: why did it take a major potential scandal for
Facebook to offer details on how this high-visibility feature
worked? A FAQ on the topic might have avoided the controversy
altogether.
No further action appears to be necessary, Sen. Thune concluded:
ìWhile the [Senate Commerce] committee remains open to new
information on this matter, transparency ñ not regulation ñ
remains the goal.î
Norton Antivirus Has A Gaping Security Flaw
A security researcher has discovered a "bug" in Symantec
antivirus software, which affects "the core Symantec Antivirus
Engine used in most Symantec and Norton branded Antivirus
products." I say "bug" because it's less bug, and more a gaping
security flaw that makes it incredibly easy to hack any PC, Mac
or Linux box running Symantec software.
The flaw (spotted by The Register) was found by Tavis Ormandy,
a white-hat hacker whose previous work has involved hacking
internet-connected scales. The Symantec bug is to do with how
the antivirus engine scans code, in particular an old
compression tool.
The result is that if a hacker sends a carefully formatted file
via email (or just a web link), all the target computer has to do
is receive and scan the email - the user doesn't even have to open
the file or link. The hacker then gets root access to the target
computer, meaning he owns the machine. As Ormandy succinctly put
it, "this is about as bad as it can possibly get."
Symantec is aware of the bug, and there's already a fix being
pushed. If you use Symantec or Norton antivirus, you should run
the Live Update tool, and check for patches.
The flaw itself is due to a buffer overflow, the same kind of
programming bug that caused the infamous Heartbleed Bug. But what
makes this particular flaw dangerous isn't the bug itself, it's
where in the system the code is unpacked. On Windows machines,
Symantec is unpacking potential malware directly into the kernel,
which as one Twitter user pointed out, is a really bad idea:
https:///twitter.com/riskybusiness/status/732374512449277952
What lessons can we learn from this? Well, as any compsci professor
would probably explain, suspicious code should be examined in a
walled-off sandbox, not the system kernel. For non-programmers, the
lesson is much simpler: uninstall Norton or Symantec, get better
about not opening suspicious files, and please, remember to do your
backups.
Three UK Moves Ahead With Network-Level Ad-Blocking Plans
Three UK inked a deal with Shine to test out complete ad blocking
for 24 hours. Customers of the carrier will see the results this
June, and the trial could be a game changer for the British ad
market.
Three UK announced that it will start a trial network-level
ad-blocking campaign in the country.
The company touted the move in February, as the carrier signed a
partnership with Shine, an enterprise that is familiar with the
practice.
Users should expect the trial, which Three says will last for
24 hours, to take place on the third week of June.
Customers will be contacted beforehand and will receive the option
to sign up through the main website of the carrier. Shine boasts
that it has the means to ad-block "all of the mobile Web," which
means display ads on browsers as well as display ads in apps.
Three's chief marketing officer, Tom Malleschitz, thinks that the
current ad model is flawed.
He explains that the existing practices frustrate customers, gulp
up data plans and are even dangerous for users' privacy.
The network enumerates three reasons why mobile ads should be
stopped. For one thing, customers end up paying for the data
eaten up by ads. For another, subscribers need more security at
their disposal, as some marketers use ads to track people without
their consent. Lastly, advertising itself could use an upgrade in
focus and relevance.
Shine did not go into a lot of detail when explaining how the ad
blocking will happen. The company mentions that its "machines"
will handle deep packet inspection (DPI) inside the network. Shine
notes that "real-time analysis, artificial intelligence and
algorithms" will be deployed so that the original Web page or app
will keep running while the ads are being blocked.
It should be noted that a big number of Internet sites rely on
advertising revenue to keep afloat, and axing ads can literally
shut them down.
However, ad blockers see surging popularity among the more
conscious of users. Adblock Plus, for example, is so popular that
firms are paying its developers to get "whitelisted" from it.
Three's cooperation with Shine could mean that more people will
start seeing the advantages of using ad blockers.
The impact on the UK advertising market could be significant if
Three's rivals EE and O2 start to implement similar programs.
Shine did mention that it has been in talks with other networks,
but refused to go into details.
New Windows 10 Security Update Proactively
Hunts Down Viruses When Your PC Is Idle
Windows 10 is building in an additional line of defense against
malware with some new features for Windows Defender, Microsoftís
pre-installed antivirus.
The update is called Limited Periodic Scanning, and was revealed
as part of Microsoftís Insider Preview Build 14352 this week. It
allows users to run Windows Defender simultaneously to their own
antivirus software. Defender will run its own periodic scan of
your computer to further bolster the protections in place with
other programs.
If the feature catches any malware youíll be notified through a
standard Windows 10 notification but in most cases, Windows
Defender will act automatically on mitigating the malware in the
background.
Limited Periodic Scanning, in theory, will only kickstart when
your computer is idle or not in the middle of some important
task. It uses the Automatic Maintenance feature to select the
most opportune time to scan, according to the announcement.
There have been a number of complaints against Microsoft over
Windows 10 updates commencing in the middle of important work so
the company will want to avoid such a fate again.
Limited Periodic Scanning is only for use by consumers so far,
said Deepak Manohar from Microsoft Malware Protection Center, but
the company is exploring possible enterprise applications for the
feature.
The feature is currently only available for Windows Insiders and
is turned off by default if youíre not already using Windows
Defender. To turn on Limited Periodic Scanning, go to Settings,
Update & Security and Windows Defender, and then Turn Limited
Periodic Scanning on.
Microsoft has placed a big emphasis on security for Windows 10,
claiming it is the most secure operating system available on the
market right now. The CIO of the Pentagon, Terry Halvorsen has
even publicly gushed over the security of the OS and urged his
employees to use it on their personal devices. However,
Windows 10 has still faced many concerns and criticisms over its
attitude to user privacy by collecting and monitoring a huge
amount of data.
How To Escape That Forced Windows 10 Upgrade You Mistakenly Agreed
On Monday, hordes of angry Windows users pelted Microsoft with
complaints about being lured into upgrading their PCs over the
weekend. For months, Microsoft has been urging users running
Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10 before the
free offer expires on July 29. But the series of dialog boxes and
other messages that Microsoft has sent users have become
increasingly deceptive, burying the opt-out links amid text that
appears to commit users to the upgrade.
Normally, closing the dialog box by clicking the red box in the
upper righthand corner automatically opted out. Over the weekend,
clicking that red box started opting users in to the upgrade.
That not only flies in the face of years of user-interface
design, it contradicts Microsoftís own advice for dealing with
suspicious dialog boxes. ìNever click ëAgreeí or ëOKí to close a
window that you suspect might be spyware,î states Microsoftís page
on viruses and malware. ìInstead, click the red ëxí in the corner
of the window or press Alt + F4 on your keyboard to close a
window.î
The company was unable to explain how closing a dialog box
translated into a consumerís desire to upgrade to Windows 10.
Microsoft representatives pointed out, however, that if you do
mistakenly trigger the upgrade, you should still have an
opportunity to opt out before it begins.
Microsoft described the new procedure on an updated support
page, which notes that users will be given "an additional
opportunity for cancelling or rescheduling the upgrade."
According to Microsoftís support page, Windows 7 and Windows
8.1 users are still going to see those annoying popup windows
that urge you to upgrade to Windows 10, where the only opt-out
option is buried: ìClick here to change upgrade schedule or
cancel scheduled upgrade.î
If you do click the close button and accidentally trigger the
upgrade, youíre still not totally committed, Microsoft claims.
ìBased on customer feedback, in the most recent version of the
Get Windows 10 (GWX) app, we confirm the time of your scheduled
upgrade and provide you an additional opportunity for cancelling
or rescheduling the upgrade,î Microsoft says.
Both the confirmation and the additional opportunity appear to be
the same thing: a popup that will emerge from the Get Windows 10
(GWX) icon on your taskbar, like so:
get windows 10 reminder
Hereís one opportunity to opt out of Windows 10.
Note the link within the popup to reschedule or cancel the
upgrade. Itís unclear how that long the popup actually hangs
around, but itís certainly no good to anyone if it appears in
the middle of the night or quickly vanishes.
If you've accidentally triggered the Windows 10 upgrade, youíll
receive a second, final alert: a 15-minute countdown timer that,
again, is pretty useless if the upgrade takes place during a time
when youíre away from your PC.
windows 10 15 minute reminder
According to Microsoft, thereís also a second opportunity to opt
out, part of the GWX app on your taskbar ó the same Windows icon
that appears in the reminder popup, above.
Before you actually click that app, however, youíll need to make
sure you donít have any existing GWX dialog boxes open, because
youíre essentially relaunching the app. According to Microsoft,
once you open the GWX app, youíll either see messages saying
Windows 10 is a Recommended Update for this PC, Microsoft
recommends upgrading to Windows 10, or You signed up for
Windows 10, and itís ready!
This is where the choices begin to resemble a "Choose Your Own
Adventureî book, and not a customer-friendly opt-out process. You
may notice that the Windows 10 is a Recommended Update for this
PC dialog is the same popup window that, when closed via the red
button, began this whole process. Donít make the same mistake
twice!
If you wish to opt out of Windows 10, click the ìcancel scheduled
upgradesî link.
For the first two options, to opt out of Windows 10, look for and
click the following link in the dialog box: Click here to change
upgrade schedule or cancel scheduled upgrade. (Microsoft says
that you can also click the red X to opt out, but weíve heard
this line before.) If you receive a popup that says, Youíre set!
click the link at the bottom to opt out, Microsoft says.
For the screen, You signed up for Windows 10, and itís ready! you
should see a link to change upgrade schedule or cancel scheduled
upgrade. In any event, if you want to get rid of Windows 10,
youíll want to end up on the screen titled Cancel your Windows 10
upgrade.
Hopefully, this screen means that youíre out of the woods.
So does this mean that the Windows 10 upgrade monster has finally
been slain? Well, as of revision 12.0 of Microsoftís support
document, yes. Hopefully things wonít change.
Microsoftís reminders, however, wonít end (until possibly after
the July 29 cutoff) until you take the following steps:
Right-click (or press and hold) the Taskbar, then select
Properties.
On the Taskbar tab, go to the Notification area and select
Customize....
In the Notification Area Icons window, for the GWX icon,
select Hide icon and notifications.
Note that you have the option of only showing the notifications
without the icon, but why would you want that? In any event, that
should end Microsoftís Windows 10 nagging for good.
As weíve noted before, two third-party options pledge to block
Windows 10 from being added to your computer: Never10, a simple
utility, or GWX Control Panel, a more complex program that does
the same thing. Both attempt to block relevant updates that force
the upgrade, while allowing everything else through.
The closer we get to the end of the free upgrade period at the
end of July, the more desperate Microsoft seems to be to push the
installed base of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users on to
Windows 10. By repurposing the close button to trigger the
upgrade cycle, Microsoft is wandering close to accusations of
ìclickjacking,î which traditionally have used transparent windows
or other trickery to launch malware or simply further the spread
of Twitter worms.
Microsoft still hasnít said that why it chose this route, but
it's not surprising that users see it as a low-down, dirty
trick. It sullies the goodwill Microsoft engendered with its
Insider program, the free upgrade, and its other work with the
Windows community.
Neither is it helpful that thereís only a labyrinthine,
complicated process for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users to opt
out of Windows 10. Itís small consolation that there actually is
one, however. Letís hope it remains.
