Popular Hola plugin no pure coffee – Telegraaf.nl

The Hola popular extension for Chrome Web browser seems to be dangerous to users. The extension sets include Netflix viewers able to view the American offer of the video service, but through Hola third parties can once again use their connection

.

Hola is called a VPN, a virtual private network. Allows a user to pretend he is in another country, with corresponding IP address. Services that are intended for use in a particular country can thus be accessed from abroad. The user’s connection is simply diverted and the web page is accessed from another country. That point is called the “exit node.

Hola is a free VPN and a bit different from regular providers. Each user is automatically ie also an exit node. That is, third parties can use the internet via the IP-addresses of other users. This can be problematic if the user eg child pornography or download hack attacks carries on the other hand, because it looks like the police or the owner of the exit node is doing all this.

The service does have its standing in terms of this happening, so well informed of these were already aware. The problem is that a subsidiary of Hola, Luminati called access this exit nodes also sells. Hola makes no mention of this. By buying several compounds, for example, a targeted attack against a site to be carried out, the owners of the IP addresses used, appear suspicious.

It is advisable, therefore, to stop using Hola.

Google Photos: almost too good to be true, but above all very creepy – De Morgen

The new photo app from Google is spectacularly good. Users may upload unlimited photos and videos to Google’s servers – completely free. A first impression of Google Photos, an app that is good almost to be true.

Often with just 16 gigabytes of storage and cameras are getting better, require photos and videos easily most of the space available on smartphones. Logical that the audience went crazy when Google at its annual I / O conference just anybody promised equally free, unlimited space for his photographs.

Google Images search giant offers an impressive answer to Apple’s iCloud photo library and Dropbox, which allows to upload photos. The main difference: Google’s service is completely free. To vegelijking: 200 gigabyte digital storage with Apple’s iCloud, you pay about 50 euros per year. Not insurmountable, but a threshold

Who pays for the storage, at the same time clearly know why and immediately know the motives of the company. We want to make money with that storage and you pay for it. If Google with free service on, does that especially frown. This is almost too good to be true.

Creepy

The app works pretty spectacular and seamless. Once the app gives you access to photos, all in high-quality images are immediately synchronized with the Google servers. Only if your images in full resolution charging, you can hit any limits. Afterwards you may confidently remove the photos and freeing up valuable space on your smart phone.

Pictures are browsing, editing, and you can create collages and movies. For every photo you want to share Google is a link you can later “destroy”. If you have drawn lots of pictures one after the other makes the built-in wizard that unsolicited animation. The Assistant also automatically made up a story of my “trip to Antwerp” (read: some collected pictures from a day trip)

Google takes it one step further, with convenient options to search photos and organize.. The way is impressive, but especially creepy. By analyzing the images Google knows who is in the pictures and where the pictures were taken, even without requiring GPS coordinates are associated with. Photos with Big Ben in the background are so self-inserted into a folder ‘London’.

Trust

When I was in my pictures look for “food”, there suddenly appears a picture of a covered plate in an Antwerp civil restaurant. I like “sunglasses” intik appear selfies myself … with sunglasses. If you go “crowd” searches, Google shows images of the mass on the Buffalo Celebration at Kuipke last week. This is certainly spectacular, but obviously quite scary.

It lacks the app or to clarify privacy. It is not actually explained what happened to your photos and clear privacy guidelines are well hidden. It can safely be better. I even thought that my first entire photo library to my public profile was charged. That was not the case.

It all boils down to trust. Do you trust Google with your personal photos? (Including those on which you are standing in swim suit and that of your children.) And grant you that Google will analyze your photographs and analysis (whether anonymous) used for other purposes? Who then say yes, do not hesitate.

This type of photo storage and organization is impressive and the chances are that you have all this time been waiting for. The competition with Apple and Facebook actually first, has some catching up.

“Samsung is working on phone with two screens’ – Telegraaf.nl

Electronics giant Samsung would be working on the development of a smartphone two screens. Reported SamMobile. Internally, the device is called “Valley Project”

According to the company must sit incorporated this technique in 2016 in a consumer product and there seems Project Valley so to aim at.

The project would still be in a very early stage, so it’s possible that it is deleted if it appears that the technology is not yet advanced enough to be used in practice. Samsung, however, has to include the Galaxy and the Galaxy S6 Round Edge show that it is not afraid of bringing out remarkable designs.
