If Shield TV is still orphaned by Metal Gear Solid's first name, it has recently hosted its sequel,  Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty . Konami logically does not want to stop there by continuing to dust off his catalog of cult games.
So it's the turn of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD to chart its way to the Nvidia platform. It is available on Google Play for $ 8.50 (for a limited time, the base price is $ 12.99).

ANOTHER NUGGET ON THE SHIELD

On the Shield TV , Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD runs at 720p resolution. It is compatible with a controller and requires 4.1 GB of free space to install. It also has Google Play success and works with cloud backups.
Taking place chronologically before episodes 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 places us in the skin of Naked Snake, responsible for several high-risk missions in the wild and Soviet jungle of the 60s. Between his ultra-worked atmosphere, his writing his charismatic cast, his elaborate narration and his avant-garde gameplay (at the time), this MGS is another masterpiece by Hideo Kojima.

iPhone X: master these 4 hidden gestures to save time

iOS 11 has become fully Touch on iPhone X. Here are 4 gestures touch or not that you probably do not know and that will allow you to go faster on your smartphone.


iOS 11 has become fully Touch on iPhone X. Here are 4 gestures touch or not that you probably do not know and that will allow you to go faster on your smartphone.

HOW TO MAKE MULTITASKING APPEAR QUICKLY

Who says more home button , says more multitasking accessible in an effective double support. The gesture proposed by default by Apple is triggered quickly and we understand very well how to bring it from an application or the office. That said, it takes a bit of time to trigger and it could annoy the most impatient in the long run.
4 gestures touch or not that you probably do not know and that will allow you to go faster on your smartphone
Chance, another gesture exists: by sliding the finger in inverted L, from the bottom to the middle of the screen and then to the right, you pull the multitask towards you , without any transition. You will understand the movement in a few seconds and you will have adopted it after a few repetitions.
Some users have even taken a diagonal move from the bottom left corner to the center of the iPhone, removing a direction to take your thumb. A little more difficult to trigger, but it's worth a try.

HOW TO CLOSE APPLICATIONS WITHOUT PRESSING THE CROSS

You can no longer drag an application up to close it on an iPhone X. Instead, keep your finger on the list of applications and wait for a small cross appears. You will then touch it to close the app of your choice.

But there is a but: you can be much faster in one movement. When you are on the multitasking screen, you can leave your finger pressed and start dragging applications. Moreover, once the button to close the apps appears, you can do the same gesture as before to close them.

HOW TO SCROLL DOWN TO GET TO THE TOP OF APPS

On large screens, it is sometimes difficult to access the top buttons. Apple had thought of everything and allowed, with a double tap on the button, to lower applications and rows of applications. Today is still possible, but it requires adjustment.

Start by going to Settings / General / Accessibility. Then tap Easy Access to activate it. Now, the bottom area of ​​your iPhone becomes the receptacle of a new feature: slide down at the horizontal bar and this will pull the screen down.

HOW TO DISABLE FACE ID IN EMERGENCY

A police check, at the customs or just an evil twin to whom you tend your iPhone: you may need to disable Face ID urgently and discreetly to preserve your personal data. It's possible: screen off, just press the Power button and one of the two volume buttons. More prosaically, you do not need to aim: simply hold your iPhone in your hand and normally it should trigger the action. You will need to enter your code to find Face ID.

Galaxy S9 and S9 +: they could make an appearance in January 2018

Samsung, king of teasing? The Korean company could show its Galaxy S9 and S9 + in January at the CES with a full presentation scheduled for March.

Samsung, king of teasing? The Korean company could show its Galaxy S9 and S9 + in January at the CES with a full presentation scheduled for March.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and its big brother the S8 + are clearly at the top of the list of Android smartphones of the year 2017, if not the best smartphones of the year. With a design that has taken everyone by surprise and remains identifiable between 1,000 and high-end features, Samsung's spearhead has not much to prove. That's why the succession could be more an  update than a new cycle.
According to VentureBeat , Samsung would work on the Galaxy S9 and S9 + to present them in January 2018, perhaps at the CES we will cover this year again for Best4pcsoft. The two high-end smartphones next year could be launched so soon thanks to a focus on internal innovations - we can think of an upgrade of the components, such as the processor or camera that remained the same as that of S7.
But this succinct presentation could only be an appearance as a  teasing . The Korean would then respect his agenda and completely unveil his smartphone of the year in March for an exit in April. A two-step outing to test the market and keep ads in the sleeve if any? Perhaps. In the meantime, the discount of the S8 on the market is running at full speed: today we find the Samsung smartphone around 560$ .

You visit porn sites? Private browsing could be enabled automatically on Edge

Microsoft has concocted a patent that aims to automatically enable private browsing Edge when a user goes to website on which this mode is regularly used.

Are you the type to visit pornographic sites from the family PC? So you probably need to know the location of the option used to clear the history of pages visited. Or perhaps you are a specialist in private browsing mode, which avoids keeping certain items (page views, searches, temporary files, cookies ...) during navigation.
Otherwise, we can easily imagine that your lustful wanderings have already caused you some family trouble, with your partner or your companion for example. In the near future, this type of discussion may no longer be possible. In any case, if you use Microsoft Edge as a web browser. Indeed, a patent could save you the stake.
Microsoft has concocted a patent that aims to automatically enable private browsing Edge when a user goes to website on which this mode is regularly used.
Spotted by the site MSPoweruser , this title, which was published Thursday, November 23 on the site of the World Intellectual Property Organization, describes a method that aims to automatically switch to the world of private browsing (or incognito, the terminology differs according to the web browsers: Microsoft Edge talks about InPrivate navigation) on certain specific sites.
The idea of ​​the patent is to rely on statistics collected on Edge browsers used by other Internet users to determine which sites this type of navigation mode is active. Indeed, incognito navigation is not really used to hide from a classic surf, if you go on Doctissimo, Allociné or Reddit. There is objectively little reason to activate it for these spaces.

FOR PORN BUT NOT THAT

The situation is very different if you surf on X sites or anything that can be difficult to justify socially. For example, we think of online betting sites for example. Or sites showing violent videos. Or 4chan and all its variations imaginable. In these cases, the probability that the incognito mode is activated is much higher.
Thus, based on a certain volume of indicators associating private browsing with a website, Edge could for example automatically switch to this configuration if a user tries to access the site. The browser would read the address of the site, check if it is associated with the InPrivate mode and activate it or not just before the connection is established, all in a split second.
Microsoft has concocted a patent that aims to automatically enable private browsing Edge when a user goes to website on which this mode is regularly used.

WHAT ABOUT ANONYMITY?

Given the sensitivity of the subject, any integration of this type of measure must be possible without the identity of the user can be found mixed with pornographic content, violent or sensitive.
In particular, the indicators that could be used to tell if a site often leads to the activation of private browsing (which can only be done by sending information from users who use the browser. then, it is necessary to concoct a "black" list of sites, but this one will necessarily be incomplete) be rendered anonymous.
All this is obviously very theoretical since it is only a patent. Nothing says that Microsoft will end up using the method it patches in Edge. In addition, even if it ends up being integrated into the web browser, Microsoft could very well use it for other sites than those for adults.

Uber hacked the data of 57 million users ..but hid it for a year

The company would have paid the hackers $ 100,000 to keep them quiet. An idea that came from the head of computer security, which has since been fired.

The company would have paid the hackers $ 100,000 to keep them quiet. An idea that came from the head of computer security, which has since been fired.
The end of the year looks tormented for Uber. The Californian company has just admitted to being the victim of a huge piracy in 2016. In a statement , the CEO explains that two hackers were able to access at the end of last year at one of its cloud storage spaces and steal the data from 57 million users worldwide.
Cybermalfrats got their hands on names, e-mail addresses and cell phone numbers. "According to our external court experts, shopping history, credit card and bank account numbers, social security numbers and birth dates have not been compromised," says Uber in a support note. . Hackers also stole the names and license numbers of 600,000 American drivers. However, Uber did not find "any fraud or abuse related to this incident" .  
What makes this hacking so special is the fact that the company tried to hide it, according to Bloomberg . She should have immediately notified the regulators and the drivers, but she preferred to pay the hackers $ 100,000 to erase the stolen data and keep quiet about the case. At the time of this incident, Uber was in talks with the Federal Trade Commission to resolve various privacy issues. Disclosing 57 million user data would not have made things easy, that's for sure.

Uber and his dark side

The decision to hide the case would have been made by Joe Sullivan, the company's IT security manager. He and one of his deputies have just been fired. The pot of roses was discovered after an internal investigation led by Dara Khosrowshahi, who took the office of CEO in September 2017. The first mission that the new leader has given himself is precisely to clean up the culture entrepreneurial venture instilled by founder Travis Kalanick, which has generated practices sometimes at the limit of legality , such as the spying of employees. And Joe Sullivan was apparently a pillar of this nefarious strategy.
"None of this should have happened and I will not apologize for it. If I can not erase the past, I can assure you that we will learn from our mistakes. We will change the way we do business, base each decision on the principle of integrity and work hard to regain the trust of our customers, " concludes Dara Khosrowshahi in his statement. In the meantime, he will certainly face a new legal process. Following the revelation of this hacking, New York prosecutor Eric Schneiderman opened an investigation.

Samsung Galaxy S9: a record screen ratio?

According to new rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S9 could enjoy a screen occupying an increasingly important place.

According to new rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S9 could enjoy a screen occupying an increasingly important place.

With the Galaxy S8 , Samsung has set records for space optimization. On its smartphone released in 2017, the screen occupies 85% of the facade, against 83% for an iPhone X and 82% for a Huawei Mate 10 Pro . According to the SamMobile website , South Korean will go even further with its next high-end model. According to his sources, the screen ratio of Samsung Galaxy S9 will climb to nearly 90%. An evolution which implies that the black bands placed above and below the screen are still refined. A significant technical challenge as the first houses the sensors for brightness, facial recognition, iris and the front photo module.

Dual photo module for the Galaxy S9 +?

This new rumor goes against previous speculation that a Galaxy S9 design identical to that of the Galaxy S8, apart from a repositioning of the fingerprint sensor under the photo module. The only certainty, the data sheet will evolve to integrate a new generation of processors, always engraved in 10 nm. 

The Americans should be entitled to Snapdragon 845, against the successor of Exynos 8895 for Europeans. The Galaxy S9 + enjoy 6 GB of RAM - against 4 GB for the Galaxy S9 - and a second photo module dedicated to portrait mode, just like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 .
Unless surprise, the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + will be announced at a conference during the month of February or March. As it did last year at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ​​the manufacturer could offer a teasing a few weeks earlier. In 2018, the appetizer could be done at the CES in Las Vegas.
