So far, the campaign has already gone after hundreds of celebrities. Instagram has become a favorite amongst famous people, and many cybercriminals see them as easy targets. However, the phishing attacks are also targeting startups and any other Instagrammer with a high follow number....
Currently, the feature is in testing. Instagram says only a select number of members will get the ability out of the gate. We guess this is randomized, so it will be luck of the draw whether you see the feature. However, the company adds the invite feature will come to all users in the coming months. With this ability, during a video broadcast it is possible to add a contact to the stream....
Aptly named the Artificial Intelligence Products Group, the division will be oriented to creating chips and software. These new products will be tied directly to AI avenues such as deep learning, algorithms, and machine learning. While Intel has recently made a strategic shift to make data-center its chief business, the company says it is focusing on AI. By developing intelligence, the company can create products the impact both its datacenter and consumer businesses....
Before continuing, this ties into Intel’s announcement last month that it is focusing on bringing new technology to datacenters before PC. The consumer side of the company’s business has fallen behind datacenter. Intel said it will push new technology to the datacenter. I thought this would mean PCs would be left waiting for new tech. However, if Optane is anything to go by, the wait between launches has just been one week....
At its core, Career Advice on LinkedIn gives users the ability to connect with a mentor to guide them in their career. These mentors are free and can help with all aspects of career development.

Remote Rendering leverages cloud streaming technology to render high-quality 3D content remotely and deliver it to even low-end devices. A clear target here is the HoloLens 2, which has little space for powerful internals but still has a demand for detailed visuals. In an enterprise environment, the availability of high-fidelity renders can be especially important. A higher polygon count can help medical students better understand operating procedures or an engineer can get guidance in a similar fidelity to the real world....
This announcement has been a long time coming and it allows ARM processing across VMs like open-source databases, web servers, media servers, game servers, and more.

By using the Centriq 2400, Microsoft will introduce Windows Server OS to ARM for the first time....
Following a collaboration with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and ETH Zurich, Microsoft is presenting a paper that highlights the capabilities of the AutoRXN workflow. For example, the workflow can deliver a suite of automation services, which allows scientists to be more productive by focusing on development and methodology for new technology. Predictive chemical synthesis can be painstaking when inputting processes manually, so AutoRXN helps to lift the load. In fact, the quantum optimizations and code management mean the software can handle the automation process 30x faster and with 10x cost reduction compared to manual inputs....
