Amazon Web Services updates console to simplify management
As enterprises have increased the number of systems they run on Amazon Web Service's cloud, keeping track of it all has become more difficult. But the company is now trying to rectify that with the help of better tagging.Tags are used to organize resources on Amazon's cloud and have become increasingly important as companies use its infrastructure in more sophisticated ways. To make tags more useful, Amazon has upgraded its management console with resource groups and the Tag Editor tool.Resource groups are used to create collections of servers, storage buckets, databases and so on.

The company is hoping that recent updates that automate formerly manual processes will help prevent similar outages in the future.

"With the tooling updates the policy is now enforced by the deployment platform itself."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Forensic software gets around iCloud security features
A Russian software company has updated its forensic software to work-around the security features Apple recently added to iCloud and increased what information can be extracted from the cloud storage service.Elcomsoft's Phone Breaker software now supports the two-factor authentication process Apple added to iOS 8 in September for accessing iCloud, Vladimir Katalov, CEO of the Moscow company, said Wednesday in a blog post.The catch to using the software, which pulls files including photos, calendar information and call logs from iCloud, is that some information about the account is required to access the storage service, according to information on the company's website. Either an Apple ID, password and the second form of authentication or a binary authentication token are needed to use Phone Breaker.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

1987: Jobs explains mouse to Playboy
Spotted this one on Reddit's section devoted to the "mildly interesting:" In a 1987 interview with Playboy -- which we read back then for the articles, if you recall -- Steve Jobs was asked what's up with this mouse contraption. PB: Most computers use key strokes to enter instructions, but Macintosh replaces many of them with something called a mouse––a little box that is rolled around on your desk and guides a pointer on your computer screen. It's a big change for people used to keyboards. Why the mouse?SJ: If I want to tell you there's a spot on your shirt, I'm not going to do it linguistically: "There's a spot on your shirt 14 centimeters down from the collar and three centimeters to the left of your button." If you have a spot––"There!" [He points]––I'll point to it. Pointing is a metaphor we all know. We've done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it's much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it's not only easier to use but more efficient.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
