Apple just announced its latest MacBook. It’s tiny. It makes the Macbook Air look like a Dell Inspiron circa 2002. But hopefully you’re not one of those jerks that actually uses the ports on the side of your computer. This MacBook only has a single USB-C and it does everything from charging, to sending video out and transporting data. It’s the only port on the computer meaning owners cannot charge the computer and an iPhone at the same time. It’s not possible to output video to a monitor and input data from an external drive — at least not without a hub. This single port was likely the byproduct of Apple’s quest to make the thinnest MacBook possible. Ports take a lot of room. Thanks to their physical structure, the female jack cannot be made that much smaller. This isn’t the first time Apple threw out industry standards. In 1998 Apple shocked the industry and didn’t include a floppy drive or serial ports in the iMac G3. Instead Apple included a CD-ROM and two USB ports. In 2008, much to the chagrin of video producers, Apple stopped including Firewire ports, a standard it created, on its computers. Apple did away with CD-ROM drives as soon as it could and completely ignored Blu-ray. But has Apple gone too far here? A single port, one that charges the computer along with much more, forces the owner to turn to other devices to use their devices in familiar ways. Apple doesn’t rely on the industry to dictate what should be included in its computers, consumer be damned. Update : Here are the cables and accessories you’ll need for the MacBook.

Good morning! It's a bright and sunny day in London. Here's the tech news you need to know this Wednesday. 1. Apple is now the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world. In Q4 of 2014, Apple devices outsold Samsung — the previous #1 — for the first time since 2011, according to data from Gartner. Apple saw a 49% jump in Q4, compared to Samsung's almost 12% decline. 2. Uber has acquired mapping startup deCarta. The taxi-hailing company currently uses Google Maps to power its apps for riders and drivers. Uber is also looking into self-driving car technology. 3. Neighbourhood-based social network Nextdoor has raised $110 million at a $1.1 billion valuation. It's trying to build hyperlocal online networks based around real-world communities. 4. Google's search monopoly might soon be over. That's what Peter Thiel, a respected venture capitalist, said at Launch Festival in San Francisco. Eric Schmidt has previously admitted that "all bets are off." 5. Facebook's Open Computer Project (OCP) has launched its first commercial startup. Launched in 2012, the OCP aims to revolutionise the computer hardware industry in the same way Linux changed the software industry. The launch of a commercial startup is a significant milestone. 6. Google has delayed its Android encryption plans because they were crippling people's phones. The company had intended to have strong encryption on by default on Android 5.0 Lollipop, but it's causing massive slowdowns. 7. Big video game companies are giving away their game engines for free. It means that anyone can develop games using their platforms, in return for a cut of the proceeds. Valve Software, Epic Games and Unity are all opting for this royalty model. 8. Millions of Apple and Google customers have been left vulnerable to hackers due to a newly discovered security flaw. It's called a "FREAK attack," and Apple is already moving to fix it . 9. Twitter is requiring new users who sign up through Tor to provide a phone number. It's part of a crackdown on harassment and trolling on the social network. 10. Amazon may be planning to launch its own wireless mobile phone service. The prediction comes from Macquarie research after Google officially announced its own network, and is in keeping with what we know of Amazon's previous products.

Your browser is vulnerable to the FREAK attack.It can be tricked into using weak encryption if you visit a vulnerable website.We encourage you to update your browser right away. Warning! Your browser offers RSA_EXPORT cipher suites.It can be tricked into using weak encryption if you visit a vulnerable website.We encourage you to update your browser right away. Good News! Your browser appears to be safe from the FREAK attack. Whoops! Your browser might be incompatible with our automatic vulnerability test.If this link loads without errors , you're vulnerable. On Tuesday, March 3, 2015, researchers announced a new SSL/TLS vulnerability called the FREAK attack. It allows an attacker to intercept HTTPS connections between vulnerable clients and servers and force them to use weakened encryption, which the attacker can break to steal or manipulate sensitive data. This site is dedicated to tracking the impact of the attack and helping users test whether they’re vulnerable. The FREAK attack was discovered by Karthikeyan Bhargavan at INRIA in Paris and the miTLS team . Further disclosure was coordinated by Matthew Green . This report is maintained by computer scientists at the University of Michigan, including Zakir Durumeric , David Adrian , Ariana Mirian, Michael Bailey , and J. Alex Halderman . The team can be contacted at freakattack@umich.edu . For additional details about the attack and its implications, see this post by Matt Green , this site by the discoverers , this Washington Post article , and this post by Ed Felten . Who is vulnerable? The FREAK attack is possible when a vulnerable browser connects to a susceptible web server—a server that accepts “export-grade” encryption. Servers Servers that accept RSA_EXPORT cipher suites put their users at risk from the FREAK attack.Using Internet-wide scanning, we have been performing daily tests of all HTTPS servers at public IP addresses to determine whether they allow this weakened encryption. More than a third of all servers with browser-trusted certificates are at risk. Currently Vulnerable Change Since Mar. 3 HTTPS servers at Alexa Top 1 Million domain names 8.7% down from 12.2% HTTPS servers with browser-trusted certificates 6.5% down from 36.7% All HTTPS servers 11.8% down from 26.3% See below for a list of vulnerable popular domains . You can test servers using the SSL FREAK Check tool or the Qualys SSL Labs’ SSL Server Test , which can also identify other security problems. Clients Update (Mar. 5): Browsers are vulnerable to the FREAK attack because of bugs that allow an attacker to force them to use weak, export-grade encryption. One example is the OpenSSL bug described in CVE-2015-0204 , but some other TLS libraries have similar problems. Far more browsers are vulnerable to the FREAK attack than was initially thought when the attack was announced, including: Vulnerable Browser Status Internet Explorer Patch available now — Security advisory Chrome on Mac OS Patch available now Chrome on Android Patch available now Safari on Mac OS Patch available now Safari on iOS iOS 8 Patch available now Stock Android Browser Patch available now Blackberry Browser Opera on Mac OS Patch available now You can check whether your browser is vulnerable using our FREAK Client Test Tool . Chrome for Windows and all modern versions of Firefox are known to be safe. However, even if your browser is safe, certain third-party software, including some anti-virus products and adware programs, can expose you to the attack by intercepting TLS connections from the browser. If you are using a safe browser but our client test says you’re vulnerable, this is a likely cause. In addition to browsers, many mobile apps, embedded systems, and other software products also use TLS. These are also potentially vulnerable if they rely on unpatched libraries or offer RSA_EXPORT cipher suites. What should I do? If you run a server … You should immediately disable support for TLS export cipher suites. While you’re at it, you should also disable other cipher suites that are known to be insecure and enable forward secrecy.For instructions on how to secure popular HTTPS server software, we recommend Mozilla’s security configuration guide and their SSL configuration generator . We also recommend testing your configuration with the Qualys SSL Labs SSL Server Test tool. If you use a browser … Make sure you have the most recent version of your browser installed, and check for updates frequently.Updates that fix the FREAK attack should be available for all major browsers soon. If you’re a sysadmin or developer … Make sure any TLS libraries you use are up to date.Unpatched OpenSSL , Microsoft Schannel , and Apple SecureTransport all suffer from the vulnerability. Note that these libraries are used internally by many other programs, such as wget and curl . You also need to ensure that your software does not offer export cipher suites, even as a last resort, since they can be exploited even if the TLS library is patched. We have provided tools for software developers that may be helpful for testing. <hr/><a name="howworks"></a><h2>How does the attack work?</h2><p>When browsers were introduced in the 1990s, it was illegal for U.S. companies to export strong cryptography, so SSL/TLS (the crypto standards used for HTTPS sites) include the ability to use deliberately weaked crypto when domestic servers communicate with exported clients. One of the restrictions was that exported software wasn’t allowed to encrypt with RSA keys stronger than 512 bits. To work around this, the standards include key-exchange modes called EXPORT_RSA cipher suites. In the EXPORT_RSA modes, the server sends the client a temporary 512-bit RSA public key, signed with the stronger public key in its certificate. The client checks the signature and then uses the temporary RSA key to send the server a random session key that’s used to encrypt the rest of the connection. Twenty years ago, 512-bit RSA keys were strong enough to deter casual attacks, but we can assume that NSA and other intelligence agencies could readily factor them and decrypt the connection data.</p><p>Fast-forward to today. It’s not a problem anymore to export strong cryptography, but SSL and TLS continue to support EXPORT_RSA for compatibility with very old clients.(According to our data, more than a third of browser-trusted sites accept EXPORT_RSA modes, but only if the client doesn’t support anything stronger.)While the standards recommend that servers should regenerate temporary RSA keys frequently, most real server implementations (like Apache and Nginx) only generate a new key when the server restarts, which means they are likely to use the same key for weeks or months.</p>As <a href="http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2015/03/attack-of-week-freak-or-factoring-nsa.html">Nadia Heninger has shown</a>, thanks to two decades of Moore’s Law, factoring 512-bit RSA keys now takes about 7 hours on EC2 and costs about $100.Unforutnately, if the client and server are both willing to use EXPORT_RSA as a fallback, an attacker can force them to use it. However, if both the browser and the server are willing to accept EXPORT_RSA, an attacker can trick them both into using it. Popular sites that are susceptible to FREAK The following sites from the Alexa Top 10,000 websites permit RSA_EXPORT cipher suites, which potentially puts their users at risk from the FREAK attack. This list is current as of March 10 at 8:00 AM EST.We urge these sites to drop support for export cipher suites as soon as possible.

I say “reading”, but I really mean “looking at” – not to mention grasping, dropping, throwing, cuddling, chewing, and everything else a tiny human being likes to do. Over the last six months, though, he has begun not simply to look but also to recognise a few letters and numbers. He calls a capital Y a “yak” after a picture on the door of his room; a capital H is “hedgehog”; a capital K, “kangaroo”; and so on. Reading, unlike speaking, is a young activity in evolutionary terms. Humans have been speaking in some form for hundreds of thousands of years; we are born with the ability to acquire speech etched into our neurones. The earliest writing, however, emerged only 6,000 years ago, and every act of reading remains a version of what my son is learning: identifying the special species of physical objects known as letters and words, using much the same neural circuits as we use to identify trees, cars, animals and telephone boxes. It’s not only words and letters that we process as objects. Texts themselves, so far as our brains are concerned, are physical landscapes. So it shouldn’t be surprising that we respond differently to words printed on a page compared to words appearing on a screen; or that the key to understanding these differences lies in the geography of words in the world. For her new book, Words Onscreen: The Fate of Reading in a Digital World, linguistics professor Naomi Baron conducted a survey of reading preferences among over 300 university students across the US, Japan, Slovakia and Germany. When given a choice between media ranging from printouts to smartphones, laptops, e-readers and desktops, 92% of respondents replied that it was hard copy that best allowed them to concentrate. This isn’t a result likely to surprise many editors, or anyone else who works closely with text. While writing this article, I gathered my thoughts through a version of the same principle: having collated my notes onscreen, I printed said notes, scribbled all over the resulting printout, argued with myself in the margins, placed exclamation marks next to key points, spread out the scrawled result – and from this landscape hewed a (hopefully) coherent argument. What exactly was going on here? Age and habit played their part. But there is also a growing scientific recognition that many of a screen’s unrivalled assets – search, boundless and bottomless capacity, links and leaps and seamless navigation – are either unhelpful or downright destructive when it comes to certain kinds of reading and writing. Across three experiments in 2013, researchers Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer compared the effectiveness of students taking longhand notes versus typing onto laptops. Their conclusion: the relative slowness of writing by hand demands heavier “mental lifting”, forcing students to summarise rather than to quote verbatim – in turn tending to increase conceptual understanding, application and retention. In other words, friction is good – at least so far as the remembering brain is concerned. Moreover, the textured variety of physical writing can itself be significant. In a 2012 study at Indiana University , psychologist Karin James tested five-year-old children who did not yet know how to read or write by asking them to reproduce a letter or shape in one of three ways: typed onto a computer, drawn onto a blank sheet, or traced over a dotted outline. When the children were drawing freehand, an MRI scan during the test showed activation across areas of the brain associated in adults with reading and writing. The other two methods showed no such activation. Similar effects have been found in other tests , suggesting not only a close link between reading and writing, but that the experience of reading itself differs between letters learned through handwriting and letters learned through typing. Add to this the help that the physical geography of a printed page or the heft of a book can provide to memory, and you’ve got a conclusion neatly matching our embodied natures: the varied, demanding, motor-skill-activating physicality of objects tends to light up our brains brighter than the placeless, weightless scrolling of words on screens. In many ways, this is an unfair result, effectively comparing print at its best to digital at its worst. Spreading my scrawled-upon printouts across a desk, I’m not just accessing data; I’m reviewing the idiosyncratic geography of something I created, carried and adorned. But I researched my piece online, I’m going to type it up onscreen, and my readers will enjoy an onscreen environment expressly designed to gift resonance: a geography, a context. Screens are at their worst when they ape and mourn paper. At their best, they’re something free to engage and activate our wondering minds in ways undreamt of a century ago. Above all, it seems to me, we must abandon the notion that there is only one way of reading, or that technology and paper are engaged in some implacable war. We’re lucky enough to have both growing self-knowledge and an opportunity to make our options as fit for purpose as possible – as slippery and searchable or slow with friction as the occasion demands. I can’t imagine teaching my son to read in a house without any physical books, pens or paper. But I can’t imagine denying him the limitless words and worlds a screen can bring to him either. I hope I can help him learn to make the most of both – and to type/copy/paste/sketch/scribble precisely as much as he needs to make each idea his own.

These leading startups join an alumni group that includes the likes of YPlan, Hassle, import.io and Glow, and has to-date raised over $36m. In this series we took the founders on a cab ride unlike any other for the most exciting pitch of their lives. Inside and outside the classroom, technology has revolutionised the way people learn. For many of us, it would have started with fancy WordArt in PowerPoint presentations, but now edtech is much, much more. Better collaboration Despite all the advancements in educational technology, Michael Willmott still felt there was a gap technology wasn’t fixing. Stuck on a piece of work at 1am, he realised there was no decent way to reach out into his network of peers, or even a broader network of people studying in his field. The idea behind Knodium grew from there. Knodium allows anyone at university to create and join communities based on their courses, project work, study groups or even just common interests. It’s a simple, uncluttered way to have discussions, share documents and resources and engage with others. I realised that the way students engage with and learn from each other is moving increasingly online, yet there is an incredibly fragmented experience between the online part of a student’s education and the offline part. Knodium’s powerful tools Knodium has built-in tools that it believes makes the learning experience for students as effortless as possible. Users can write complicated mathematical equations with LaTeX or even draw otherwise difficult-to-communicate chemical diagrams. How universities benefit The service isn’t just useful for those studying. Universities can use Knodium to gain important insights into their students – insights that previously would have been inaccessible. Knodium started with fairly quiet trials in mid-2012 and opened up to universities across the UK in September 2013. Willmott says the next stage for the startup is building its team and working with more universities. One of our main aims is to support and push for big growth within our existing network of 120 universities. We want to build something that becomes a staple part of the education experience for many students by the end of this academic year.

While Apple hasn't provided an agenda for the event, it's hard not to imagine the Apple Watch will be front and center. Pricing for the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Editions, along with variances for the different size and band options, details on final hardware and software features, and much more remains to be discovered. break Whether anything else makes an appearance on stage or not remains a question. In previous years Apple's used spring events to announce new iPads and Apple TV hardware. The iPads were just updated last October and the Apple TV has been in stealth mode lately. Rumors of a MacBook Air update keep circulating, but could just as easily keep this event focused on the Apple Watch. We've been waiting for this for a long time. Looks like we won't have to wait much longer! I'll be there with Serenity Caldwell, and we'll bring you the experience as it happens.

No new 'features... and Will NOT announce the Retina Macbook Air. All 'rumor' points to a mid-year release on the Retina MBA because they are skipping Broadwell for the next gen Retina Macbook Air going directly to Skylake. and honestly .. that makes complete sense.. Skylake is also slated for mid-year release, and is worth the wait IMHO to get in the first Retina Macbook Air. 0 3 weeks ago Reply / bottom-part / comment-content / comment iPandorum / top-container Finally!

Other iPods maybe. Too bad they likely won't release Yosemite 10.10.3, though. I find performance can use quite a bit of a boost. It performs kind of bad compared to Windows 8.1 on worse hardware, and it's kind of driving me mad considering the "premium" I paid for a computer running it. Not interested in the watch either. I find it to be one of the ugliest smart watching to get released yet (not as ugly as Pebble's, but Motorola's definitely looks a ton better) and it looks hella bulky. Just not fashionable by any stretch of the word, except for the fact that it's an "Apple" watch. I guess that counts these days? 0 3 weeks ago Reply / bottom-part / comment-content / comment decypher44 / top-container A lot of deleted comments??

Sent from the iMore App 0 3 weeks ago Reply / bottom-part / comment-content / comment NewAgeVibe / top-container I wonder if this event will bring those "iPad Pro" rumours to reality? Since Apple usually brings in new iPads this time of year. 12.9 inch is awfully close to 13". Some have mentioned something about a new MacBook Pro. There's even been rumors about an iOS/OS X hybrid. Other reported features too, like split screen, a stylus, speaker grills at the top and bottom, and a concept video showing an "iPad Pro" running a full version of iOS X. For those interested in an Apple TV refresh (food-for-thought), let's combine the powerful iPad Pro with an Apple TV compatibility, with the rumored A9 chip? I'd like to see something for gaming, like "Apple Play", or "iPlay". Anywho, some reports stated all year that early 2015 would be a release date. Then pushed back or shelved, because of the demand for the iPhone 6. Maybe between April-June. I don't know about you guys, but I've got a feeling something different will happen.

Pebble Time features a new color e-paper display and microphone for responding to notifications.

Three colors available exclusively on Kickstarter. Pebble Time starts shipping in May. Pebble Time Steel starts shipping in July. Extra special engraving for our original Kickstarter backers who support us again ♥♥♥ Photo of early production unit You'll need an HTML5 capable browser to see this content.

Already backed Pebble Time? See Upgrading to Time Steel section below. And don't worry, you'll still keep your original spot in line. We're back on Kickstarter This is where it all started. Three years ago you supported our vision to make the world’s first real smartwatch. The Kickstarter community and our early adopters believed in us before anyone else even knew we existed. You blew us away with your support and kicked off a worldwide movement! With your help, we set the bar very high: Your overwhelming support and feedback has shaped what Pebble is today. We’re back on Kickstarter to give you - the community who cares the most - an opportunity to support our vision for wearables and get exclusive access to our newest product. Get more info at a glance...in color! At its heart, Pebble Time is an awesome watch. The new color e-paper display is easy to read and always-on, perfect for displaying incoming notifications and your favorite watchface. Compared with display technology like LCD or OLED, power consumption is minimized, enabling Pebble Time to achieve an industry-leading battery life of up to 7 days. Send a quick reply by dictation Pebble Time's new microphone lets you send voice replies to incoming notifications* or take short voice notes. We used the latest technology to maintain water resistance so you can swim or surf with Pebble Time (we do not, however, recommend talking underwater). *Sending voice replies works with most major Android apps including SMS, Hangouts, Gmail, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and hundreds more. For iOS users, voice replies are currently limited to Gmail notifications. We’re working to enable voice replies for more apps. Pebble Time is 20% thinner than the original Pebble at just 9.5mm. Its ergonomic, curved design fits comfortably on either wrist and slides easily under dress shirts. Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel is stylish and durable. The lens is crafted from scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass with a bezel made of stainless steel. Like our previous watches, it's water resistant - perfect for a run in the rain, water-balloon battle or a swim. People love to personalize their Pebble watches. We've included a soft silicone band with each Pebble Time and a fine leather band for Pebble Time Steel, but any standard 22mm watch band will fit. All new Pebble watch bands include a quick-release pin, letting you swap bands in under 10 seconds. Now it's super easy to find the perfect style for you! For DIYers, accessory makers and advanced customizers, we'll be publishing the 3D data you'll need to create amazing straps , covers and docks . Pebble Time comes in three colors: Black watch case and silicone band with black PVD stainless steel bezel White watch case and silicone band with silver PVD stainless steel bezel Red watch case and silicone band with black PVD stainless steel bezel Pebble Time Steel is available in three stainless steel finishes: Silver with a stone leather band Gunmetal black with a black leather band Gold with red leather band All Time Steels come with both a leather and matching metal band. Special Engraving for Kickstarter Backers All reward watches are engraved with ‘Kickstarter Edition’. For those who are backing Pebble on Kickstarter for the second time - thank you! Your Pebble Time watch will be engraved with something extra special. We've been making smartwatches for almost 7 years now. Our ultimate goal is to make Pebble an indispensable tool in your daily life by helping you accomplish more each and every day. While developing software for the original Pebble, we uncovered an important problem: apps are an inefficient way to interact with a smartwatch. As we increased functionality by adding more apps, our Pebbles clogged up. It became harder to quickly find the app we wanted. No one wants to manage another homescreen! To make Pebble infinitely more useful, we needed an expandable system for organizing information and interactions. Luckily, the answer was right up our sleeves. It turns out the best interface for any watch...is time! You'll need an HTML5 capable browser to see this content. Play 00:00 00:00 You already plan your day around time, so it makes sense for your Pebble to be organized around the same principle. Now your notifications, news, reminders and events are laid out chronologically instead of being trapped inside separate apps. With one click, see what’s coming up next. Your timeline connects to calendars, alarms, and apps, organizing all kinds of relevant information along with quick actions. Similarly, recall the past. Scroll back in time to see that email you missed, your step count for the day or the score from the game last night. Your timeline takes an incredible amount of information and makes it super easy to access. This is the new app menu, featuring new app faces with glanceable content. With timeline we've also created a system that dynamically loads and caches apps as needed, letting you access as many apps as you need. As with all Pebble software, we’ve built an open platform. You can allow apps and developers to add ‘pins’ to your timeline, so you can keep track of things like upcoming events, sports, weather, traffic, travel plans, pizza specials and more. The Pebble operating system has been re-imagined with a new visual style. While all existing Pebble apps will still work great, we’re inviting developers to upgrade their apps to support color. More details coming soon! Simplicity and focus, without compromise We’ve added all these new features - color screen, microphone, slimmer design and timeline - without compromising what you love most about Pebble: Always-on, daylight readable screen with a great backlight Up to 7 day battery life (Time Steel battery life is up to 10 days) Use any standard 22mm watch band Water resistant and durable Tactile buttons for easy eyes-free clicking Silent vibrating alarms Step tracking with Misfit and Jawbone Language and international character support (Chinese coming soon!) Timeline will work on Pebble and Pebble Steel (exact date TBD) Works with iOS 8 on iPhone 4s and above Works with all Android 4.0+ phones including Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG, Google, Motorola, Xiaomi and more If you’re already part of our community of backers, developers and, early adopters, that’s fantastic! If not, we invite you to join those who have supported and guided our journey so far. It's pretty straightforward, just back this project! Keep your eyes glued to the Updates tab for all the latest news during the campaign. We have a really exciting month planned! We pledge to do the absolute best we can at creating amazing products and supporting them for as long as possible. We’ve gone out of our way to develop new features, release software updates and provide technical support for all Pebble owners. Check out our Amazon reviews or our Twitter's @Pebble and @PebbleHelp to get a taste. Developer community Since the first Kickstarter campaign, developers have been an integral part of the Pebble community. We are very proud of the 26,000+ developers who have created over 6,500 apps and watchfaces for Pebble. Pebble Time greatly expands possibilities for wearable apps, building on top of the existing Pebble SDK and tools: Rich C SDK for apps and watchfaces running natively on the watch, even when the phone is disconnected Best in class online development environment: www.cloudpebble.net New emulator that can be used on CloudPebble or locally Rich set of APIs: accelerometer, compass, bluetooth messaging, background tasks, GPS and HTTP request, etc (NEW) Color APIs to support the 64 colors of the new Pebble Time screen (NEW) Support for PNG and APNG (NEW) Timeline APIs to push information from the web into the user’s timeline (no watch or phone apps required) (NEW) UI framework to create beautiful applications that take advantage of color and animations (Later in 2015) Voice to text APIs: add voice recognition to your apps (Later in 2015) Smart accessory port for hardware hackers. (Later in 2015) Bluetooth Low Energy API. Use Pebble to control BLE-enabled objects. All existing Pebble apps are compatible with Pebble Time and apps built with the new SDK are compatible with both platforms. We will reveal more information about the new APIs during the campaign. Stay tuned! Time for one last plug: we're hiring! Over the years, we've hired a bunch of folks from our community and are looking to hire more!

Why are we back on Kickstarter? Pebble was brought to life by 68,929 backers who supported our vision three years ago.

We believe that this is the best and most efficient way for us to get our latest product to the people who want it most: people like you. Help us by sharing Pebble Time with your friends!

Upgrading to Time Steel Existing Pebble Time backers can easily change to or add a Pebble Time Steel by clicking the blue “Manage” button that appears next to your pledge amount. On the next screen you will be prompted to choose your new reward tier.

One thing to consider for Early Bird backers If you are an Early Bird backer of Pebble Time and change your reward to a Time Steel, it’s unlikely you will be able to switch back to your original Pebble Time Early Bird tier should you change your mind.

Better data has the potential to improve now education is delivered in developing countries Photograph: Muhammed Muheisen/AP Sponsored by: WSSCC Claire Melamed and Grant Cameron Friday 30 January 2015 11.36 GMT Last modified on Friday 30 January 2015 11.48 GMT Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Share on LinkedIn Share on Google+ Share on WhatsApp A revolution starts with an idea, but to become real, it has to move quickly to a practical proposition about getting stuff done. And getting things done requires money. If the ideas generated last year, in the report of the UN secretary general’s independent expert advisory group (Ieag) and elsewhere, about how to improve data production and use are to become real, then they will need investments. It’s time to start thinking about where the money to fund the data revolution might come from, and how it might be spent. Getting funding for investment in data won’t be easy. As hard-pressed statistical offices around the world know to their cost, it’s tough to persuade governments to put money into counting things instead of, say, teaching children or paying pensions. But unless the current excitement about data turns into concrete commitments, it will fade away once the next big thing comes along, leaving little in the way of lasting change. So what is needed? Two things. First, there must be new money for investments in data. But, just as critical, that money must be spent in ways that enable and incentivise the change. The Ieag report laid out four areas in which change is needed: capacity and resources, technology and innovation, principles and standards, and partnerships and leadership. New money, used well, can support all these and help to drive the changes that are needed. In addition, four new funding streams might help to drive progress in the right direction: Related: The problem with the data revolution in four Venn diagrams Funding for official statistics As the Ieag said: “Strengthening national capacities will be the essential test of any data revolution”. Building on the idea of country compacts , new money could be used to support change at the national level, supporting dialogue between data providers and data users, enabling new and useful partnerships between public sector, private sector and civil society, investing in the technological infrastructure, and rewarding measurable improvements in the production and use of high-quality data. Funding for innovation While official statistics will be the core, ignoring the potential for innovation to solve problems, create new possibilities, and leapfrog over current technologies, will in the long run be a waste of resources. Innovation is happening, and it is important that funds are available to ensure that there are incentives to innovate in the public interest as well as for the private sector. A starting point could to be to explore how new innovations could help to fill gaps in data for the new sustainable development goals, along the lines of the SDG data labs proposed by the Ieag report. Related: Technology and people power: 5 ways to shape the sustainable development goals Funding for data literacy and use A dedicated funding stream for civil society groups, to enable them to experiment with the collection and use of data, to strengthen data literacy and build capacity, and in the end to drive increased demand for and use of data will be a key part of using the data revolution to achieve long-term change in government policies and in the relationship between governments and citizens. Funding for partnership and leadership Most of the action, initiatives and financing required to drive the data revolution will happen at the national and local levels. But, as the Ieag report makes clear, global level partnerships and leadership can help to consolidate and share emerging lessons and develop standards, help to broker necessary partnerships, help to develop regional and global technology infrastructure, and help to showcase best practice and encourage innovation. This too, needs resources and political support to drive it. Related: Open data platforms: a tool to revolutionise governance Good data is not cheap. But this is the moment to lay down the foundations for a future of high-quality, accessible and useful data. Good data will be essential for both monitoring and achieving the new sustainable development goals – and so funding for data could, and probably should, be a part of the discussion at the Financing for Development conference to be held in Addis Ababa in July. If governments, companies and civil society rise to the challenge of investing in data in ways that drive change and improvement, then that could be the moment when we know if the data revolution will be more than just a good idea.

About • Podcast • Best Of • Twitter Apple has lost the functional high ground January 4, 2015 • ∞ http://www.marco.org/2015/01/04/apple-lost-functional-high-ground Update: I regret having published this . Apple’s hardware today is amazing — it has never been better. But the software quality has fallen so much in the last few years that I’m deeply concerned for its future. I’m typing this on a computer whose existence I didn’t even think would be possible yet, but it runs an OS with embarrassing bugs and fundamental regressions. Just a few years ago, we would have relentlessly made fun of Windows users for these same bugs on their inferior OS, but we can’t talk anymore. “It just works” was never completely true, but I don’t think the list of qualifiers and asterisks has ever been longer. We now need to treat Apple’s OS and application releases with the same extreme skepticism and trepidation that conservative Windows IT departments employ. Geoff Wozniak went back to desktop Linux after almost a decade on OS X (Update: He appears to have taken the post down). It’s just one person’s story, but many of his cited reasons resonate widely. I suspect the biggest force keeping stories like this from being more common is that Windows is still worse overall and desktop Linux is still too much of a pain in the ass for most people. But it should be troubling if a lot of people are staying on your OS because everything else is worse, not necessarily because they love it. Apple has always been a marketing-driven company, but there’s a balance to be struck. Marketing plays a vital role, but marketing priorities cannot come at significant expense to quality. I suspect the rapid decline of Apple’s software is a sign that marketing 1 is too high a priority at Apple today: having major new releases every year is clearly impossible for the engineering teams to keep up with while maintaining quality. Maybe it’s an engineering problem, but I suspect not — I doubt that any cohesive engineering team could keep up with these demands and maintain significantly higher quality. 2 The problem seems to be quite simple: they’re doing too much, with unrealistic deadlines. We don’t need major OS releases every year. We don’t need each OS release to have a huge list of new features. We need our computers, phones, and tablets to work well first so we can enjoy new features released at a healthy, gradual, sustainable pace. I fear that Apple’s leadership doesn’t realize quite how badly and deeply their software flaws have damaged their reputation, because if they realized it, they’d make serious changes that don’t appear to be happening. Instead, the opposite appears to be happening: the pace of rapid updates on multiple product lines seems to be expanding and accelerating. An important nuance that the many sloppy rewrites of this article keep getting wrong (intentionally for sensationalism?): I’m referring to marketing as a priority, not “the marketing department”. I have no idea about the internal workings of the marketing department and how it does or doesn’t influence the company’s direction. Marketing priorities seem to be a bit too influential, such as requiring a new major OS with every iPhone release, or a new OS X every year, for their marketing benefits. ↩ People keep asking me whether a high-level executive change — Tim Cook, Phil Schiller, or Craig Federighi — is needed. I don’t know, of course — none of us really do — but I suspect that’s not really the problem. What seems to be the problem is the overall apparently agreed-upon prioritization put forward by the entire executive team. This probably isn’t a “fire someone and fix it” problem — it’s simply an issue of poorly weighted priorities that can most likely be adjusted with the current personnel. ↩ ◆ Follow Marco.org posts: Twitter , RSS feed , or the alternate RSS feed in which link posts always point here first instead of their targets.

Large enterprises are more discerning of Public Cloud IaaS offerings. Test and development appears to be a key entry point for them since scale, operational complexity, and security/compliance/regulatory demands require a more nuanced approach to Public Cloud for IaaS. Small and Medium enterprises have the greatest need for Public Cloud and should consider well-established, lower risk entry points to Public Cloud like SaaS, Email, and Web Applications before venturing into Mission Critical and IaaS workloads to help them navigate an increasingly complex and costly IT infrastructure environment.

R has been popularized by the growing data science community, for whom it has become the defacto standard. The deal is important not just for Microsoft but for the language itself, according to Dave Vellante, chief researcher at Wikibon. R is copyrighted by The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, a non-profit organization based in Vienna, Austria. The copyright and the ownership of R is unaffected by the MS acquisition of Revolution. According to Revolution Analytics Chief Community Officer David Smith, Microsoft used R to develop the match-making capabilities of the Xbox online gaming service. Microsoft data scientists apply machine learning to data from Bing, Azure, Office, and the sales, marketing and finance departments. Microsoft supports R extensively within the Azure ML framework , including the ability to experiment and operationalize workflows consisting of R scripts in MLStudio .” Jeff Kelly at Wikibon weights in on the deal with his breaking analysis . “With the proposed acquisition of Revolution Analytics, Wikibon believes Microsoft has an opportunity to take significant strides in courting Data Scientists and other enterprise Big Data practitioners. It must continue to invest resources in Revolution Analytics’ core products, tightly integrate R with Microsoft’s existing and future Big Data portfolio of products, and, importantly, increase its activity with the open source community to ensure R continues to develop as an open source project in and of itself.” Here is a video of David Smith at last year #BigDataSV event. This year #BigDataSV will be in force in San Jose during #hadoopworld.

Dan Calladine , Carat’s Head of Media Futures, put together this year’s report, with help from experts around the business, including Mark Greenstreet, Matthew Jacobs, Alex Hooi, Graeme Wood, Angus Wood, Casey Fitzsimmons, and Mark Linford. Over the next few days we’ll be looking at some of the most interesting trends for 2015 in detail. “These are trends, not ‘the trends’. There are lots of things happening, and we hope we have chosen some the most interesting,” says Dan. “Brands need to organise themselves for the real world – we highlight what the trends are, why they are growing, and give implications for brands, rooted in what we have observed this year. “It’s a given that lots of things will continue to grow – including web access, mobile usage, ecommerce, and online video viewing.” Today Dan looks at Trend 1 - App Simplification & Integration Apps are big - according to Flurry, 86% of time spent on mobile is in apps, and just 14% on the mobile web. These apps are now becoming more simplified – brands like Facebook are breaking off key tasks like messaging into single purpose apps. At the same time it’s becoming possible for apps to integrate with other apps to share data and information, and to link to each other. This means that brands need to re-think what their apps are for, and what they should functionality they should offer. Facebook’s main app has pretty much all the functionality of the site. However now it’s splitting some areas, like messages, groups & local search, into single purpose apps, and others are following the same strategy. Foursquare split off its check-ins to a separate app, Swarm. When Instagram added the ability to make time-lapse videos, it did so as a separate app, Hyperlapse. The rationale for this is being made easier because apps are now less self-contained – they can link to each other. For example, Uber has allowed other apps to embed an Uber button – so that you can open Uber easily, for example a button in the Starbucks app to call a car to take you to your nearest coffee shop. Apple’s HealthKit in iOS8 lets a number of health and fitness apps share data, to get a fuller picture of the user’s activity levels. Ads within the Facebook app can deep link into other apps, for example YPlan’s events ads which deep link into precise events in the YPlan app. Over the next year it will become easier for developers to link apps. Twitter and Facebook both have code & resources to help app makers produce apps that will have common elements that can integrate well. Twitter has ‘Fabric’, which offers a universal sign-in to apps, and access to Tweets and related tools, plus Twitter’s in-app ad service. Facebook has ‘Parse’ which cuts down the differences between developing for different mobile operating systems, and will also standardise more of the way that apps work, also making it easier for apps to talk to each other. Implications For Brands The changes will strengthen apps’ roles in how people access content and services from their mobile devices. Apps will be even more easy to use, and become inter-linked, like the web. Brands need to think about what their apps should be for – which services they should offer, as simply as possible, and what they could link to. If your app isn’t one that people will use every day, find ways of getting your app into one that is Think about advertising your app, to both drive downloads and use. If you don’t have an app, make sure the mobile web experience for the brand is as good as it can possibly be!

Place this tag after the last +1 button tag. 1 | Best For The Disorganised: Y Plan We've all been there. You attempt a spontaneous night on the razz, and, before you know it, you're being denied entry to a tragic dive bar, wistfully lamenting the just -missed last tube home. Y Plan wants to stop all that malarkey – it offers you a scroll-through curated selection of gigs, club nights and pop-ups in London. You pay on your mobile, and show your ticket on your screen. They’ve can even get you into sold-out events sometimes – snazzy. yplanapp.com , available on iTunes and Android , free 2 | Best For Getting Home: Uber Desperately trying to hail a cab at 3am is never fun. Uber uses GPS to get your location, lets you book a taxi, track where it is, and you get a text when it arrives. It'll tell you how much your ride costs and even lets you split the fare with a friend electronically, meaning you never need to get slapped with the full whack ever again. Available in Manchester and London only at the minute. uber.com , Available on iTunes and Android , Free 3 | Best for the impatient: Bar Pass There's not much worse than arriving at a bar and finding yourself stuck at the back of a collosal queue for drinks. Your nice, boozed-up haze is obliterated, and you return to your table half an hour later with an armful of half-spilled beverages. Bar Pass lets you skip the whole sorry process – you order your drinks, pay on your mobile and you'll be notified when they're ready. barpassapp.com, available on iTunes and Android , free 4 | Best For Nights In The Capital: Time Out Tourist or native, navigating the sprawling mass of all that's on in London is tricky. Use the 'hot bars' section of this app, you can swipe through photos of venues, read Time Out's opinion and user reviews on the place. The details tab gives you the venue's address and nearest tube station, admission prices and opening hours, for an easy estimate of when you'll get there and how much it'll cost you. timeout.com , available on iTunes and Android 5 | Best If You're Out Late: Bar Chick Don't let the name put you off – this is in no way an app that's just for girls.

What Is The Future Of The Death Penalty? After a sickening succession of botched lethal injections, the US’s death-penalty states are seeking new ways to execute condemned convicts – with competing factions rallying around firing squads, electrocution and gassing. As arguments rage, the questions are stark: will the death penalty itself finally be killed off or – far more likely – will the US authorities learn to become a more ruthlessly efficient killing machine?

Photograph: PR Lanre Bakare in New York Monday 29 December 2014 22.33 GMT Last modified on Monday 29 December 2014 23.51 GMT Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Share on LinkedIn Share on Google+ Share on WhatsApp The main witness in the murder case that was the subject of the wildly popular podcast Serial has given his first interview, revealing new details about the case. Jay Wilds spoke to The Intercept about the case for an article published Monday. He’d previously refused to take part in Sarah Koening’s podcast, which attempted to retrace the steps taken in the murder case of Hae Min Lee, which led to the conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. Wilds, who was the prosecution’s main witness, has changed elements of his story – including where he first saw Lee’s body. On taped interviews with police used in the podcast he stated that he first saw the body in the car park of a Best Buy. But when asked about it by The Intercept, he said he first saw it in front of his grandmother’s house. “I didn’t tell the cops it was in front of my house because I didn’t want to involve my grandmother,” he said. “I believe I told them it was in front of ‘Cathy’s [not her real name] house, but it was in front of my grandmother’s house. I know it didn’t happen anywhere other than my grandmother’s house. I remember the highway traffic to my right, and I remember standing there on the curb. I remember Adnan standing next to me.” In the interview – the first of a multi-part series – Wilds talks about the first time he met Syed, and why he agreed to help him bury Lee’s body. “At the time I was convinced that I would be going to jail for a long time if he turned me in for drug dealing, especially to high school kids,” he said. “I was also running [drug] operations from my grandmother’s house. So that would ruin her life too. I was also around a bunch of people earlier the day [at Cathy’s], and I didn’t want them to get fucked up with homicide.” He also spoke about why he cooperated with the police after initially refusing to, saying that he was worried about criminal consequences for selling marijuana, and that he was concerned because Baltimore was notorious as a place where people who informed could be subject to retribution. “They had to chase me around before they could corner me to talk to me, and there came a point where I was just sick of talking to them,” he said. “I stonewalled them that way. No — until they told me they weren’t trying to prosecute me for selling weed, or trying to get any of my friends in trouble. People had lives and were trying to get into college and stuff like that. Getting them in trouble for anything that they knew or that I had told them — I couldn’t have that.” The interview comes after writer Kelly Oxford tweeted a Facebook post, apparently from Wilds, in which he stated he was willing to participate in one interview.

Business Feature The fortunes of 4 British startups in 2014 Image Credit: SwiftKey .entry-content-thumbnail December 28, 2014 12:30 PM Paul Sawers .entry-meta-left .entry-meta-right .entry-meta .entry-header 2014 was a mixed bag for tech companies around the world, with the likes of Uber seemingly never out the headlines for all of the wrong reasons , while younger upstarts like Slack gained praise across the board . A number of notable stories emerged from the U.K. over the past 12 months too. For example, SongKick reported record numbers (in both users and revenue) , however its fellow London-headquartered company Hailo unfurled the white flag on its American dream, with Uber’s brute force proving too much. And Shazam nabbed another $20 million to continue on its path to music-tagging market domination. Here, VentureBeat looks back at the fortunes of a handful of startups from the U.K in 2014. SwiftKey 2014 has been a good year for SwiftKey , the smart keyboard app that replaces your phone or tablet’s default keyboard and learns your writing style over time. While the London-based company has thrived in the Android realm, Apple’s move to open iOS to system-wide third-party keyboards proved a major boon for SwiftKey. Fresh from a $17.5 million funding round , SwiftKey unveiled its much-anticipated iOS 8 app in September, and it went on to secure 1 million downloads in the first 24 hours alone. “This year I think we’ve all learned that while planning is essential, you have to be prepared to throw out your plans when an amazing opportunity comes along,” said Joe Braidwood, the chief marketing officer at SwiftKey. “When we started 2014, we had no idea we’d be able to bring a full keyboard app to iPhone users. We pulled together a team, built something we were really proud of – and shipped it, all in around three months.” Although SwiftKey is better known for its clever keyboard app, it also does a lot of research and work within the artificial intelligence realm, with partners among many people and organizations. As a result, SwiftKey is on 250 million devices. And SwiftKey is working with Stephen Hawking to develop a system that would help him communicate twice as fast. But perhaps one of the most notable shifts for SwiftKey, from a business perspective at least, was when it moved from a $4 paid app to a completely free model , charging users through in-app purchases for extra features. Just this week, SwiftKey announced a tie-up with Disney that heralded in its first branded keyboard (in this case, the hit Disney movie Frozen ), as it explores further monetization avenues. “It’s been an interesting year due to the transition to freemium — we made growth projections but it was hard to predict the exact results, as few companies have made this pivot before us,” Braidwood said. “But we exceeded our projections. Within a month [of going freemium] our install rate was up 54 percent.” Looking forward to 2015, Braidwood says it’s all hands on deck as the company prepares to increase its userbase, with specific markets in mind. “Next year, we’re particularly interested in getting to know our customers in India better — we think it’s a really exciting place, with a lot of multilingual typers and we’d love to grow our userbase there.” Mind Candy If you have kids, you’ve likely encountered Mind Candy’s virtual pets — Moshi Monsters. The insanely popular online service claims north of 80 million registered users, but the company behind Moshi has been spinning out the brand into merchandise, movies , and games. This is a popular tactic when companies strike gold with one particular brand, as we’ve seen with Rovio’s Angry Birds. Back in February, Mind Candy launched a Super Mario Kart-esque Moshi Karts game for iOS, followed by a new Candy Crush Saga-style match 3 game called Moshling Rescue and a quirky photo-sharing community and iPhone app called PopJam . But all hasn’t been well in the world of Mind Candy or Moshi Monsters this year. Founder and CEO Michael Acton Smith stood down in July, in an open and frank video he posted to YouTube. Later in the year, Smith revealed that Moshi Monsters’ popularity was dwindling and revenues weren’t healthy, which went some way towards explaining his stepping down. As Moshi Monster’s popularity falls, however, Mind Candy has continued to explore other areas, including World of Warriors , a combat-strategy game devoid of all-things Moshi. But it could become the new Moshi in many ways — and help the company tap into a mobile gaming market that’s pushing $25 billion at the end of 2014, according to market researcher NewZoo. “We have big plans in 2015 to turn the brand into a franchise, expanding offline with trading cards, books and toys,” explains Darran Garnham, Mind Candy’s chief commercial officer. “Warriors underlines our ability to merge digital and physical, first from web, now from mobile. This crossover aids traction from both areas and increases brand recognition.” Mind Candy has been pushing hard into the mobile realm of late, and World of Warriors has been gathering momentum, so this could well help save Mind Candy. But does this spell the end of Moshi Monsters as we know it? Not quite. “Moshi remains core to our business — it’s been the cornerstone of our success and its fans are testament to the affection that it holds,” continues Garnham. “Our next move is to create the spark to push the brand into new markets, languages and introduce Moshlings to a whole set of new fans.” So Moshi will live on, but it seems like World of Warriors will be a big focus in 2015, with in-game player-vs.-player being introduced and other related consumer products launching in 10 countries. PopJam, too, will get some more lovin’, given the proliferation of touchscreen devices among kids. “We think there’s a huge opportunity to build a safe, fun and creative space for them [children],” says Garnham. “PopJam is our big project in this area and we’re looking forward to launching it globally into other markets in 2015. Its performance to date in the UK has surpassed expectations.” YPlan YPlan has emerged as one of the brightest stars from the U.K. startup scene with its mobile-first approach to discovering the best events to go to today. The last-minute ethos to booking events such as bands and live theater has clearly proved popular, with 30 percent of Londoners having the app installed on their iPhone — that’s quite a feat. The company finally expanded beyond London with its New York launch in late 2013 , before arriving in San Francisco in February this year and then Las Vegas. It has had 1.5 million downloads to date. Fresh from a $24 million funding round just last month, in addition to the $12 million it raised the previous year, the company is looking to expand its offering from last-minute events into a marketplace that catches the entire long tail of events. “This funding will be used to expand our footprint as well as product and engineering teams as we launch a range of new features, including ‘Invites,’ ‘Feedback,’ and ‘Preferences’ which will be released in the next few weeks,” said founder and CEO Rytis Vitkauskas. Before that, YPlan has been busy building additional features, including a “Date Night” offering, acknowledging that many people use YPlan when looking for something to do with their partner. YPlan has come a long way since its London-only beginnings back in 2012, going from a heavily curated “six to eight events” at any one time to many more. “We thought curating such a tightly focused list was what people wanted, but over time, we’ve learned that it’s not one size fits all,” said Vitkauskas. “There is an optimal number of events we can show you – it’s more than 10 and less than 50, and can vary from person to person – but it took time for us to realise that.” Today, YPlan’s event curators shortlist as many as 100 events each day from around 1,500, before narrowing down its final selection for users. And by understanding its users more, YPlan should go from strength to strength next year. “Knowing that 1.5 million people in the U.S. and U.K. recognize the value of what we do is a significant endorsement for us,” Vitkauskas said. “In addition to that, we also saw 300 percent growth year-on-year from 2013, and we have great momentum going into 2015.” TransferWise TransferWise has emerged as a key player in the so-called Fintech startup realm, serving up a smart peer-to-peer international money transfer service that cuts out the banks to help save you money. In June, TransferWise announced a $25 million funding round , with big-name investors such as Richard Branson and Peter Thiel on board. It also launched its service on Android , some six months after it had first gone mobile with iOS. The company embarked on a major “stop hidden fees” drive, too , with a dual offline-online antibank marketing approach ensuring it maximized its potential audience. It seems this will continue to play a pivotal part in TransferWise’s push to garner the world’s attention, with the widely held notion that “banks are evil” proving an easy means of getting people on its side. “Our biggest challenge is still getting people to understand how banks rip them off,” said Taavet Hinrikus, the cofounder of TransferWise, before adding that it managed to secure 18,000 signatures for its campaign to make the currency exchange market more transparent. Looking forward to 2015, it’s going to be all about knuckling down and getting bigger. “We’re still going to be focusing on growth,” said Hinrikus. “We’ll be opening up new currency routes, localizing the website in new countries and, of course, we’ll keep working to make the FX market transparent and fair for consumers.” .entry-content Topics > 3UK editor's pick Mind Candy swiftkey Transferwise uk YPlan #entry-meta .entry-wrapper #post-1628602 #comments #content #primary Latest News Here’s what the Mars One CEO had to say about all the backlash against the mission Ellen Pao can file suit against Kleiner Perkins, judge decides Trending Research Marchex widget Press Releases Selling Simplified Closes $2.8M Funding Round of Growth Capital Vasectomies, Wellness Treatment Searches Gain Popularity in the New Year Svelte Medical Systems Secures Financing; Richard Dakers Joins Board View more Outbrain Sidebar Widget #secondary .widget-area END .content-wrap END .body-container Home About Contact Careers Advertise Events Privacy Policy Terms of Service © Copyright 2015 VentureBeat .

The critical vulnerability affects all Windows- and Mac-based versions of the official Git client and related software that interacts with Git repositories, according to an advisory published Thursday . The bug can be exploited to give remote code execution when the client software accesses booby-trapped Git repositories. "An attacker can craft a malicious Git tree that will cause Git to overwrite its own .git/config file when cloning or checking out a repository, leading to arbitrary command execution in the client machine," Thursday's advisory warned. "Git clients running on OS X (HFS+) or any version of Microsoft Windows (NTFS, FAT) are exploitable through this vulnerability. Linux clients are not affected if they run in a case-sensitive filesystem." The vulnerability is sure to be a tempting one for blackhats to exploit, since it would haul in developers who have proved to be popular targets in the past . The advisory gave no indication the bug is being or has been actively exploited. Fortunately, repositories on github.com can't be booby-trapped because the site has added a verification process to check for malicious content. Other sites hosting repositories don't necessarily provide the same safety measure. Git users should upgrade immediately. Updated GitHub for Windows and GitHub for Mac are available here and here .
