The chip giant adds new remote management, encryption and anti-theft tools baked right into next-gen Intel Core vPro processors for commercial desktops and notebooks.
The long-awaited iPad has arrived. But here are 12 other tablet devices that will take aim at Apple this year as the suddenly crowded tablet PC market heats up.
Going green was the rage of 2009, and the buzz in 2010 isn't letting up. Manufacturers are responding to increased demands from their white box makers for more eco-friendly components.
Following last week's flap over the "Hottest Girls" app, the latest issue concerns an iPhone app called "BeautyMeter" by German developer Braun Software. BeautyMeter, a Hot or Not-type service launched for the iPhone on Jan. 17, has apparently been used to post nude images for quite some time, despite lacking a nudity warning in its App Rating.
That alone might have shined a spotlight on Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple's inconsistency regarding pornography in the App Store, but the real trouble arose Wednesday when an iPhone app review site discovered nude photos on BeautyMeter of a purported 15-year-old girl. Raciness is one thing, potential child pornography is quite another -- and Apple pulled the BeautyMeter application from the iTunes App Store early Thursday morning.
Krapps, the Web site that first discovered the offending BeautyMeter picture, reports that despite the removal of the app, "previous downloads are still fully functional -- including access to the infamous 15-year-old nude image."
Apple has certainly been coming under some fire lately, and purging the App Store of all traces of BeautyMeter may take some time, but the company did demonstrate Thursday that it can tackle a problem with speed when it's of a mind.
