Apple Watch Review Roundup: The ‘World’s Best Smartwatch’, But ‘Not For Everyone’

Apple has given members of the media several hands-on experiences with the Apple Watch following its special events, but ahead of Apple Watch pre-orders, select sites have been able to get a much closer look at the device. Apple has provided a handful of publications with Apple Watch review units, giving them a chance to spend multiple days with the watch, and they’ve now shared their opinions in reviews published today.

Stop Android Lollipop from killing your battery – TechRepublic

I was wrong. As is the case with many upgrades, I quickly ran into a troubling side effect: significant battery issues.

Greenify

Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps!

Popcorn Time’s Launched on iOS

While Popcorn Time has been available on Android for some time, it’s now arrived on iOS with an installer that can put the app on non-jailbroken devices. It’s likely that it uses a test key from an enterprise device to achieve that.

The new development could cause serious headaches for both Apple and legal streaming services like Netflix. In fact, Netflix itself singled out Popcorn Time as a serious competitor in a shareholder letter earlier this year.

Heartbleed One Year Later: Has Anything Changed? – Slashdot

It was on April 7, 2014 that the CVE-2014-0160 vulnerability titled “TLS heartbeat read overrun” in OpenSSL was first publicly disclosed — but to many its a bug known simply as Heartbleed. A new report from certificate vendor Venafi claims that 76% of organizations are still at risk, though it’s a statistic that is contested by other vendors as well as other statistics. Qualys’ SSL Pulse claims that only 0.3 percent of sites are still at risk. Whatever the risk is today, the bottom line is that Heartbleed did change the security conversation — but did it change it for the better or the worse?

Ubuntu MATE February 2015 supporters | Ubuntu MATE

Many thanks to everyone who donated to the Ubuntu MATE community this
month. You have been generous as always and ensured that we can meet all
the costs associated with running the Ubuntu MATE project and the
community site. In fact, this month we are able to reward some other
projects that Ubuntu MATE benefits from.

If the torrent I downloaded is any indication — it had almost triple the number of seeders compared to the rest of the flavors — Ubuntu MATE is going to be a very popular release. That said, I’d wait for the second beta at least before jumping in with both feet.
