How Facebook and TV companies are winning the f.ight against illegal pay-per-view ing.
Livestreaming is increasingly mainstream. Social behemoths like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook all come with the feature baked-in and prominently displayed. With just a flick of a button, anyone anywhere can broadcast anything to hundreds of thousands of people.

Anything. Literally anything. Like, er, a boxing match only available through pay-per-view (PPV).

A Scarborough man is currently in hot water after a friend purportedly streamed a high-profile PPV boxing match to over 4,000 people. According to the Teeside Gazette, 34 year old Craig Foster paid £19.95 to watch Anthony Joshua’s fight with Wladimir Klitshko from his satellite TV provider, Sky.

Foster says that at some point during the night, a friend picked up his iPad and used it to stream the bout to an audience of 4,250 cheapskates.

HP’s new 15-inch Spectre x360 uses the hybrid Intel/AMD processor.
We're fans of HP's Spectre range, and the 15-inch model CES is finally getting its turn to be refreshed to Intel's latest and greatest processors at this year's CES.

The new Spectre x360 15 is one of the first systems to be announced that uses the new Kaby Lake-G processors from Intel. These processors combine an Intel CPU (with its own integrated GPU) with an AMD GPU, all within a single package.

While Intel has positioned the Kaby Lake-G as a gaming chip—the company's benchmark scores are all games—the Spectre x360 15 doesn't have the usual bright LEDs and garish design of gaming systems. It uses HP's "Dark Ash Silver" with "Copper Luxe Accents" color scheme that we've seen on a few of the company's machines over the last few years. The color scheme is attractive and serious, but with enough accents to add visual interest.

Galaxy Note 9 rumored to have one feature the iPhone X lacks.
It’s too early to get excited about Samsung’s second flagship of the year, but a new Galaxy Note 9 rumor says the phone may offer users the kind of feature the iPhone X — and any other all-screen phone out there — lacks: a fingerprint sensor under the display.

This isn’t the first time we have heard about Samsung working on such screen technology. But Samsung won’t be the only smartphone maker to launch such devices this year, or the first, assuming the report is accurate.

Developers wanted 10 Must-have sk.ills to get your resume to stand out of the stack.
With the entry-level salary for a software developer as high as C$75,000, according to Randstad, you’ve got to wonder why more people aren’t showing up to companies en masse and demanding jobs. Well, it should go without saying that there’s a bit more to the development world than sitting at a computer punching in random numbers and symbols. 

It’s a field that requires professionals who are well versed in different coding languages, most of which can look like gibberish to outsiders. So, what does a person have to do to get noticed by employers? Easy: It involves the fairly straightforward task of learning new programming languages and implementing said languages in your daily work. Here’s how it’s done.




First thing’s first: Not everyone is going to be able to master every language out there. You very well could be skilled at Python but a total novice with Ruby. However, there are some programming languages that are slightly easier than others. If you’re jumping into development early – perhaps right after college – there are some skills you can acquire that will impress a potential employer without taking a massive toll on your brain. 

Enter Python, JavaScript, and HTML: Three programming languages beginners can wrap their heads around and use to build a rewarding career.

Samsung unveiled its newest display innovations ahead of the actual debut of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, surprising the audience with a monster 146-inch TV called “The Wall.”

The most exciting thing about The Wall is the new MicroLED screen technology that Samsung just introduced, which will probably be used in other devices, including smartphones and tablets in the not so distant future.
