Microsoft’s Anniversary Update for Windows 10 wouldn’t be complete if there weren’t a few annoyances added to great features like Cortana integration and an improvedAction Center. One such annoyance is Windows Defender’s unceasing penchant for telling you what a great job it’s doing. An example of Windows Defender’s enhanced notifications. The new feature is called enhanced notifications, which amounts to Microsoft’s built-in antivirus software reporting the results of its scans. If you don’t mind the regular reports then it’s a great feature. But if you really don’t see the point of such micro-monitoring there’s an easy way to turn it off. Open…

There is a growing consciousness about the desire to keep one’s messages private. Some are concerned about hackers, or worry about the government spying on them, but most people just agree with the general principle that what you say in your chat conversations ought to stay between you and the people you chat with. It’s not a pleasant idea to think that your messages could be archived for perpetuity on a large company’s server or analyzed by some algorithm. The quest for privacy has birthed a whole generation of apps that promise to give you exactly that. Services like Telegram…

According to AnTuTu, the Galaxy A8 (2016) sports a Full HD display, an 8 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie snapper, the Exynos 7420 chipset, 3GB of…
Looks like the blue-colored model of the Huawei Honor 8 is in high demand in the UK, as reports are pouring in that the model is facing severe stock shortages in the country.

Aside from blue, the device also comes in white, black, and gold color options.…
A day before the iPhone 7 Plus launches, someone already took apart one unit to see what’s inside. Most interesting, of course, is what filled the hole left over from the 3.5mm headphone jack. By the looks of it, the square module of the new Force Touch module for the non-clickable Home button. There doesn’t seem to be a second speaker on the bottom, just the usual one (plus the earpiece for stereo sound). The battery is secured with Apple’s easy to remove (but not quite DIY-friendly) adhesive. The battery has 10.22Wh capacity, slightly down from the 10.45Wh of the…
For thirteen years, I lived the experience of leading a public company through the unpredictability of globalization and the depths of a great recession. The lessons learned in that role – sound judgment, effective leadership, and clear vision – are all skills we expect our next president to exhibit. I have switched from the corporate world to work for what I deeply believe in: entrepreneurship and women’s opportunity. As CEO of Grameen America, I fight every day to empower tens of thousands of low-income women entrepreneurs around this country.

The Razer Turret is too small for any serious gaming, or even serious work, but it’s also inconspicuous enough you won’t mind leaving it around the living room. COMMENTS Hayden Dingman | @haydencd Games reporter, PCWorld Sep 13, 2016 2:15 PM The Razer Turret (available for $150 on Amazon) is the first mouse and keyboard I don’t mind leaving around my living room. Is it 100-percent functional? No. Is it 100-percent practical? Also no. But its compressed size and inconspicuous design make it easy to hide in your entertainment center for convenient access. To me, that’s compelling, even given its…
