Yahoo beefs up account security by launching temporary passwords for its Android and iOS apps

Yahoo today announced yet another layer of security for its users: app passwords for Android and iOS. The new feature means you can control who has access to your apps even when your mobile device is lost or stolen.

Yahoo describes an App Password as a temporary password that you can enter into its native Android and iOS apps “for added protection” and thus authorize a device to access them. A new temporary password is created for each app and device.

To enable the feature, go into your Yahoo account settings, turn on second sign-in verification, and generate a one-time app password. Next, enter the password in your mobile app, and your device will be permanently logged-in.

If you misplace your device, you can easily revoke access to each individual app and device from the settings page. This means whoever finds your device will be locked out of your Yahoo apps even though you left them logged-in.

This also means you don’t have to change your Yahoo password when you lose your device. That being said, you should probably change your password as often as possible.

If you’re as annoyed with Yahoo’s small screenshots as we are, you’ll like this YouTube video for explaining the new feature a bit better:

Dropbox can now automatically save your screenshots when you take them, and import photos from iPhoto

Dropbox today added a nifty feature for all its desktop users: support for automatic uploading of screenshots. At the same time, the company has added an iPhoto import tool for its Mac users.

The first addition means all the screenshots you take can be automatically saved to your Dropbox account. Furthermore, Dropbox will also create a link to your screenshot and copy it to your clipboard.

This means that your picture is instantly available for sharing online. This should be useful for anyone who takes screenshots on a regular basis and wants to avoid the hassle of pasting, saving, and then uploading them.

The downside to all this is if you want to crop the screenshot or edit it in some way before you upload it. For those cases, you’ll want to disable this feature as Dropbox will just get in the way of your “screenshotting” process.

As for Dropbox users on OS X, today’s Dropbox update also includes an importer that copies your photos from iPhoto directly to your Dropbox. Here’s the prompt to look for:

This is a good way to backup all your snaps, as well as have them handy for sharing. It’s of course entirely optional, so if you already have them backed up elsewhere and want to use your Dropbox storage for just files, you can.

Both these new features, which shouldn’t surprised you if you read TNW, are minor ones with a potentially big impact. If you take advantage of either of them, chances are you’ll end up using Dropbox a lot more, which is of course exactly what the company hopes you’ll do.

With data breaches on the rise, BitTorrent debuts ‘private, secure, and free’ server-less chat experiment

BitTorrent today announced a new experiment simply called BitTorrent Chat. The company is inviting users to check out the private alpha over at labs.bittorrent.com.

You can apply now, but BitTorrent says just a small number will be invited in. How many exactly is not clear, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a few hundred.

The company itself admits it isn’t sure where this latest experiment will go, but it does have a vision: serverless chat that is private, secure and free. Unsurprisingly, it will be using the BitTorrent protocol.

BitTorrent justifies its experiment in server-less messaging by citing a report by Symantec that notes more than 6 million people have been impacted by data breaches this year alone. This seems to be a US-specific number as the report states: “In 2012, the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) documented 447 breaches in the United States, exposing 17,317,184 records. In the first half of 2013, there have so far been 255 incidents, exposing 6,207,297 records.”

As a result, here is BitTorrent’s pitch:

So over at Labs, we’re working on something that could solve for conversation security. BitTorrent Chat applies distributed technology to the idea of IM. Our goal is to ensure that your messages stay yours: private, secure, and free.

Unfortunately, details surrounding BitTorrent Chat are still very scarce. We presume it will start as a desktop offering and roll out to mobile, although it could very well land on both.

When we contacted the company to figure out whether this is exclusively a Web service or if it requires you to download a chat client first, we were told it’s the latter. We will update this article with more details, such as platform support, as we get them.

Google launches public beta of Web Designer, a free design tool for creating HTML5 ads and campaigns

Google today launched a new advertising application in beta called Google Web Designer. The company says the tool is for creating “professional-quality design” HTML5 ads and campaigns accessible to everyone from the designer to the dabbler.

HTML5 is widely seen as the standard that everyone on the Web should adopt. In case you didn’t know, Google describes HTML5 as a “universal language for building beautiful, engaging content that can run across desktops, smartphones, and tablets.” It is thus the company’s hope that Google Web Designer will help make HTML5 accessible to people throughout the advertising industry, getting Web developers closer to the goal of “build once, run anywhere.”

Here’s the current feature list for Google Web Designer beta:

• Create animated HTML5 creative, with a robust, yet intuitive set of design tools.


• View and edit the code behind your designs and see your edits reflected back on the stage automatically.


• Build ad creatives seamlessly for DoubleClick and AdMob, or publish them to any generic environment you choose.


• Receive updates to the product automatically, without having to re-download the application.


• Access all of this entirely for free.

If you prefer the visual version, Google has provided multiple YouTube videos to show off the tool. Here’s one of them:

If this piques your interest you should read the getting started guide. Google is also asking for feedback, which you can provide on its user forum and Google+ page.

Again, this is just a beta, although Google does use the tag with little regard for its meaning. That being said, the company says it is “working hard over the next couple quarters to add new features and improvements.” We’ll let you know when its stable release is available.

Microsoft launches the Surface in Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand

Microsoft today announced commercial availability for its Surface lineup in an additional seven markets: Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. This means commercial channel purchases will now be possible in all of the 29 markets where Surface devices are sold.

Here’s what that means for business customers:

Our expanded reseller network, brings a variety of additional value-added services to the Surface family, such as asset tagging, custom imaging, knitting, onsite service and support, device recycling and data protection. We already knew that people who use Surface love it. But, perhaps more importantly, business users who use Surface particularly love the ability to buy through the resellers that they’re already working with for their hardware purchases and ongoing support.

Microsoft also made a slew of other Surface announcements today:

• By the end of 2014, Delta Air Lines plans to equip its 11,000 pilots worldwide with Surface 2 devices running Windows RT 8.1, which will provide electronic access to key charts, reference documents and checklists while saving the airline millions of dollars each year in fuel and associated costs.


• New commercial deployments spanning a number of different industries including financial services, education, healthcare, retail/hospitality, and automotive.


• New apps available in the Windows Store that are designed specifically for businesses.


• New participants, including SAP and Omega Group, who have joined the AppsForSurface ISV Program.

We’ve asked Microsoft for clarification on whether these new markets will be getting just the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 or if the previous generation will also be available. We will update this article when we hear back.

NVIDIA GeForce Video Card Drivers v327.23 Now Available

NVIDIA has released GeForce drivers version 327.23. This release increases performance in several games, adds a few SLI profiles, and adds support for some additional 4K displays.

This is the final, WHQL version of these drivers and replaces the previously available v320.49 WHQL drivers. You should install v327.23 if you have a supported NVIDIA GPU running any previous driver release.

Important: This NVIDIA driver was previously available as several different beta versions (v236.80, v326.41, and v326.19). If you installed any of those beta versions of this driver, please update to v327.23 as soon as possible. It's almost always a better idea to have the WHQL certified version of a driver installed.

Here are some of the new features, changes, and fixes available in v327.23 over previous releases:

• Improves the performance of several games across a number of NVIDIA GPUs.


• Adds SLI profiles for Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Batman: Arkham Origins.


• NVIDIA PhysX is at v9.13.0725 and HD Audio is at v1.3.26.4 in this release.

For complete information on v327.23, see NVIDIA's Version 327.23 Release Notes for Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista here (desktop) and here (notebook), or the Version 327.23 Release Notes for Windows XP here. All links are to PDF files.

Download Links:

Most NVIDIA GPUs are fully supported with the v320.49 driver in most current versions of Windows, like Windows 8 (including Windows 8.1), Windows 7, and Windows Vista.

The following two downloads are for Desktop GPUs ONLY. These are the NVIDIA drivers you need if you have a video card with an NVIDIA ION/ION LE or GeForce GPU installed in your desktop computer.

32-bit Download [Windows 8/8.1, 7, Vista]

64-bit Download [Windows 8/8.1, 7, Vista]

These two downloads are for Notebook GPUs ONLY. These are the NVIDIA drivers you need if your laptop, netbook, notebook, or tablet is powered by an NVIDIA ION/ION LE or GeForce GPU.

32-bit Download [Windows 8/8.1, 7, Vista]

64-bit Download [Windows 8/8.1, 7, Vista]

Tip: Not sure if you should download the 32-bit or 64-bit driver? See Am I Running a 32-bit or 64-bit Version of Windows? for help. If you need even more assistance, head over to the GeForce Drivers page and click on the big green AUTO-DETCT YOUR GPU button.

Windows XP Drivers: NVIDIA supports Windows XP less and less with each new GPU and driver release. However, they do support many GPUs on Windows XP with their newest v327.23 drivers. You can download the 32-bit driver here or the 64-bit driver here. These drivers are only designed for desktop GPUs but you may have luck getting them to work on your notebook PC. If not, check with your notebook maker for better drivers or with NVIDIA for an older release.

Other downloads like nForce drivers, GeForce drivers for non-Windows operating systems, previous driver releases, and much more, can be found here.

Note: If you're using a relatively recent version of NVIDIA's GeForce drivers, just right-click on the NVIDIA icon in the system tray and choose Check for updates.... You can download and install the driver automatically from there. If you want to be prompted for beta driver updates, be sure to check the appropriate box in the Preferences tab.

Tip: If you're looking for an up-to-date resource on new drivers, see my Windows 7 Drivers and Windows 8 Drivers pages. I keep those pages updated with information and links to new drivers available from NVIDIA and other major hardware makers.

Microsoft will increase Windows 8′s and Windows 8.1′s app roaming limit from 5 to 81 devices on October 9

Microsoft today announced it is increasing the app roaming limit from five to 81 for both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 on October 9. This means you’ll be able to install the same app from the Windows Store on more than just a handful of devices associated with a single Microsoft account.

Microsoft says this change is being implemented in direct response to users complaining about the five-app maximum:

Since we launched Windows 8, we heard growing feedback from many developers and from our most enthusiastic customers that the limit of 5 was not enough for their needs. Developers asked for more flexibility in implementing their business models, and customers wanted to run those apps on the variety of tablets, laptops and desktops they owned.

Yet at 81 devices (which is clearly a play on the Windows 8.1 name), the limit may seem a bit redundant. Yet Microsoft insists it’s there to protect the app builders’ investment and help “prevent abuse.”

Free apps that have any revenue streams, this change will have no effect. For apps that have ads, the new policy may end up being beneficial to their developers, assuming their app isn’t already free.

Yet for developers who have a business model that depends on limiting the service that can be accessed simultaneously on devices, Microsoft has a solution. The company provides a set of APIs to build a service-side verification to set that limit.

If you’re in this boat, you’ll want to check out the following links: Using receipts to verify purchases and Guidance on using the App Specific Hardware ID (ASHWID) to implement per-device app logic. You’ll also have to disclose the constraint you set to Windows Store customers and “set expectations appropriately,” Microsoft notes.

In its announcement post, Microsoft noted the word “friction” when describing Windows 8 users installing apps and that this tweak would reduce it. Clearly the company and third-party developers aren’t seeing the app installation numbers they would want, and before Windows 8.1′s release has been picked as the time to act.

AMD's First logo certified driver for Windows 8.1

Heads up all you Radeon HD graphics card owners, AMD has released a new batch of WHQL certified Catalyst drivers, version 13.9. These are the first logo certified drivers for Windows 8.1, which Microsoft is planning to make available to download on October 18th (free for existing Windows 8 owners, $120 and up for the full retail version). Catalyst 13.9 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. Here's what else you need to know.

According to the Release Notes, Catalyst 13.9 does not include support for Frame Pacing or the very latest AMD CrossFire optimizations. If either or both of those are deal killers, you can opt instead to download and install a beta version of Catalyst 13.10, just be advised that stability or other odd issues may arise from playing around with pre-release code.

Catalyst 13.9 includes WDDM 1.3 support for a whole bunch of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), along with Radeon HD 5000 through 8000 Series graphics cards. It also adds OpenGL support for User Profiles and Catalyst Application Profiles, and includes enhancements to AMD's Enduro technology (Catalyst Control Center now shows which applicatons are active on the Performance GPU and Power saving GPU).

In addition to the above, Catalyst 13.9 resolves a handful of issues, including what AMD describes as "severe flicker" in Far Cry 3 game cinematic that could spill over into gameplay.

You can grab the newest Catalyst drivers on AMD's download page.

Microsoft unveils Xbox One tour kicks off October 1, coming to over 75 cities in the US, Canada, and Europe

Although the news partially leaked yesterday, Microsoft today unveiled that the Xbox team will be taking Xbox One on the road between October 1 and the end of the year. You’ll be able to check out the new console “through a series of experiential events” if you’re in one of the over 75 different cities in the US, Canada, and Europe.

What exactly will the events entail? You’ll be able to play the Xbox One line-up of blockbuster games with your friends for free (attendance costs nothing but space will be limited, so you’ll want to get there early). We wouldn’t be surprised if there were giveaways and prizes to be won as well.

Not all games were confirmed, but Microsoft did specifically mention seven of them: Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3, Crimson Dragon, Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, and LocoCycle. That’s not a finite list: other games will be present as well.

Again, Microsoft also didn’t give a complete list of all the cities that the Xbox team would be attending. It did reveal 13 of them with tour dates:

• Philadelphia: 10.3–10.6


• Paris: 10.10–10.13


• Toronto: 10.10–10.13


• Chicago: 10.17–10.20


• Vienna: 10.17–10.20


• Atlanta: 10.24–10.27


• Dallas: 10.31–11.3


• Berlin: 10.31–11.3


• Phoenix: 11.7–11.10


• San Francisco: 11.14–11.17


• Dublin: 11.14–11.17


• Los Angeles: 11.21


• London: 11.21–11.24

This poster meanwhile lists 25 states in the US and 13 cities in Europe:

The Xbox team will be cruising in custom “Test Drive” vehicles. They will be appearing at festivals, university campuses, retail centers, and so “in search of gamers ready to take the new generation of entertainment for a spin.”

The Xbox One launches on November 22, meaning most of the listed cities will be able to try it out before it arrives in store.

Facebook is tweaking its News Feed algorithm to depend more on feedback, show fewer ads users report or hide

Facebook today announced it is tweaking its News Feed algorithm in the coming weeks to show fewer annoying and irrelevant ads. Specifically, the company says it is placing more emphasis on user feedback, including how often people report or hide an ad.

The company says these “updates” will improve the relevance and quality of the ads people see. If you regularly hide or report ads specific types of asd, Facebook says it will reduce the number of those types of ads that it shows you (which only makes us wonder why it wasn’t doing this before).

Unsurprisingly, it argues this is good for both users as well as marketers and advertisers. The former group should see ads that are “increasingly relevant” and fewer ads that “they might not be interested in.” The latter group will meanwhile benefit as their ads will be shown to the people who “might want to see them the most.”

Facebook also noted the goal of News Feed is to deliver “the right content to the right people at the right time,” whether that means typical social network content or ads. The News Feed algorithm currently chooses between thousands of ads by looking at things such as your interests and the Pages you like.

Yelp confirms Harvard study about fraudulent reviews, says its algorithm discards 25% of user submissions

Earlier this week, a Harvard Business School study (PDF) titled “Fake It Till You Make It: Reputation, Competition, and Yelp Review Fraud” found businesses that don’t have a good reputation online try to “fix” the problem by submitting fake reviews. This was quickly misconstrued by some publications as a claim that the percentage of fake reviews featured on Yelp is growing.

A quick look at the study, however, shows that this is not in line with the findings. In fact, Yelp today confirmed the study is accurate and noted its algorithm, also referred to as its review filter, only selects about 75 percent of the service’s 42 million contributed reviews:

This means about 25% of the reviews *submitted* to Yelp are not published on a business’s listing or recommended to consumers. Among these reviews are the ones the Harvard study found likely to be fakes submitted by businesses themselves.

We’re not sure where the confusion started, but this sentence in the conclusion may have done it: “We show that the problem is widespread – nearly one out of five reviews marked as fake, by Yelp’s algorithm.” This was twisted to say that 20 percent of reviews on Yelp are fake. As you can see in the quote above, that’s not true.

In fact, the paper’s authors themselves note that measuring the percentage of Yelp reviews that are fraudulent is not within their abilities. “Because one cannot directly observe which reviews are fake, we focus on reviews that Yelp’s algorithmic indicator has identified as fraudulent.”

The paper’s abstract breaks down its findings more succinctly:

• Roughly 16 percent of restaurant reviews on Yelp are identified as fraudulent, and tend to be more extreme (favorable or unfavorable) than other reviews.


• A restaurant is more likely to commit review fraud when its reputation is weak, i.e., when it has few reviews, or it has recently received bad reviews.


• Chain restaurants – which benefit less from Yelp – are also less likely to commit review fraud.


• When restaurants face increased competition, they become more likely to leave unfavorable reviews for competitors.

In summary, a business’s decision to commit review fraud is driven more by competition and reputation incentives “than simply the restaurant’s ethics.” None of this is very surprising; if, however, a study comes out showing how many fake reviews slip past Yelp’s algorithm, we’ll be much more intrigued.

UC Browser’s tablet version now allows seamless switch between incognito and regular browsing

UC Browser, a mobile Internet browser developed in China, has updated its version for Android Tablets to include a few nifty add-ons. Version 2.4 of UC Browser features a new kind of incognito browsing that allows you to switch between incognito mode and regular mode seamlessly – something that other browsers on the market don’t offer yet.

At the same time, UC Browser has added a built-in video player, which lets users play videos from the point they last stopped at. It isn’t clear whether this feature is available offline, but at least it acts as a bookmark, especially for longer videos.

A few days earlier, UC Browser also updated its Android phone version to include optional add-ons such as a QR Code generator and gesture customization.

Raspberri Pi gains support for Oracle’s Java

Raspberries don’t really go well with coffee, but somehow we think the Raspberry Pi gaining support for Oracle’s Java is a bit different. The company has added the official hard-float Oracle Java 7 JDK to its repository.

All future “Raspbian” images will ship with Oracle Java out of the box. Existing users can install it by typing in the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-jdk

The company says one of its longstanding goals has been for Raspberry Pi to ship with “a complete set of common programming languages” and Java was always a glaring omission from the list. Well, that’s fixed. Next!
