How to understand that others have access to your Google Account .
one million accounts one google have been attacked by a new virus called Gooligan, which continues to hit new 13 thousand accounts every day. But here's how to find out if your account has fallen prey to hackers and how to change your Google password.
The virus infects your Android device and steal data from your Google Play, Gmail, Google Photos, Google Docs, Google Drive and more. Also uses your account information to install applications that would not want your device
Google says it has no evidence that Gooligan has used stolen user data. It also clarifies that specific groups are targeted Android users. Forbes writes that attack the virus thought to be 'thief biggest single "Google Account.
However, it is very easy to see if you are affected by the attack Gooligan. Checkpoint security firm also provides a list of applications that may be affected by the virus. Click twice on the apps installed on your Android device using extinguished Setting> Apps and list in alphabetical order.
An app for mental health .
All we could use at least a small rule in life. Therapy, training, meditation, self-help books. But they are expensive and often and stigma.
Mindsail company wants to remove these barriers. It has published an iOS app, to help approaches and knowledge of various experts in the field of mental health. "You're not injured, you are weak, but you people," says CNN co-founder and administrator MindSail, Lauren Wallack.
Application users can choose one of nine health issues, from problems in a relationship, career and addictions. Introduce Mindsail experts on these issues with a video and audio programs.
For example, former military investigator Lena Sisco discusses how to understand that your husband lied . Sergeant Kevin Briggs, who has spoken with hundreds of people who have had to jump from the Golden Gate Bridge, tells you how to pass depression.
Microsoft’s Quest , Quantum Computer .
IBM, Google and a number of academic labs have chosen relatively mature hardware, such as loops of superconducting wire, to make quantum bits (qubits). These are the building blocks of a quantum computer: they power its speedy calculations thanks to their ability to be in a mixture (or superposition) of ‘on’ and ‘off’ states at the same time.
Microsoft, however, is hoping to encode its qubits in a kind of quasiparticle: a particle-like object that emerges from the interactions inside matter. Some physicists are not even sure that the particular quasiparticles Microsoft are working with—called non-abelian anyons—actually exist. But the firm hopes to exploit their topological properties, which make quantum states extremely robust to outside interference, to build what are called topological quantum computers. Early theoretical work on topological states of matter won three physicists the Nobel Prize in Physics on 4 October.

Microsoft's vision for LinkedIn .
Now that Microsoft’s massive $26.2 billion acquisition of LinkedIn has officially closed, it’s time for the next step: figuring out how its massive store of business information can best be used by Microsoft and its customers. Building upon the company’s integration plan outlined earlier this year, Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella laid out a set of plans for short-term integration with LinkedIn (in a blog post on LinkedIn, natch), with advantages for both consumers and business customers.
Perhaps the most interesting will be closer ties between resume functions in Word and in LinkedIn, so that users drafting resumes in Word will be able to update their LinkedIn profiles automatically. Nadella suggests that LinkedIn updates will propagate through Windows 10’s Action Center, and that your LinkedIn identity will be used in Outlook and in Office.
AMD's Radeon Software Crimson ReLive .
There’s a chill in the air, and the leaves are falling off the trees en masse. You know what that means: It’s time for AMD’s huge annual Radeon software update. Like 2014’s Catalyst Omega and 2015’s Radeon Software Crimson, this year’s refresh packs in some huge new features and extends some existing ones—like the superb Radeon WattMan overclocking tool—to more graphics cards.
This year’s iteration expands on Radeon Crimson to become Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition (whew, what a mouthful), named after its highlight ReLive feature. ReLive replaces the Raptr-powered AMD Gaming Evolved app that AMD unceremoniously dumped a few months back. It brings a bevy of video recording and streaming options right into AMD’s core software to challenge Nvidia’s popular Share (née Shadowplay) solution.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s all sorts of new gamer-centric tools, including FreeSync improvements, HDR support, and a feature designed to ratchet down Radeon temperatures and power usage when extra oomph isn’t needed. Separately, AMD’s releasing an easy-to-use benchmarking tool that logs in-game performance across DirectX 11, DX12, and even Vulkan games.

Pebble confirms it is shutting down, devs and software acquired by Fitbit

Pebble was one of the early Kickstarter success stories after raising more than $10 million. It even came through, releasing what many consider to be the first viable modern smartwatch. However, that success was short-lived. Pebble confirmed today that the company is being acquired by Fitbit and is ending production of all Pebble devices. The blog post didn’t talk about the value of the deal, but it’s reportedly in the $34-40 million range. That’s a whole lot less than just a few years ago when the company was valued at several times that amount.
Ransomware Fighters Get New Free Tool
Ransomware has become a gold mine for digital criminals. In the first three months of this year, electronic extortionists squeezed US$209 million from victims desperate to recover their data after it was scrambled by the malicious software, based on FBI estimates. At that rate, ransomware could funnel as much as $1 billion into criminal coffers this year.
Ransomware typically will encrypt most of the files on a computer, but some pernicious programs are selective about what they encrypt on a machine. One such form of ransomware attacks the boot sequence of a computer.
