Huawei’s rapid ascent to prominence in the smartphone market is taking another step forward today with the introduction of a new series of handsets called Nova. These devices eschew premium features and extras in favor of distilling Huawei’s strengths down into an affordable, mid-range package. First up is the eponymous Nova, a 5-inch device with a Full HD screen, Snapdragon 625 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 12-megapixel camera with larger-than-average pixels.

When Steve Jobs stepped down from his position as Apple CEO on August 24, 2011 due to illness, he didn't intend to leave the company. Instead Jobs told Recode's Walt Mossberg he planned work on an Apple-branded television set to re-invent the television industry.

If you think bigger means better when it comes to your tech, then you are going to love the new Samsung smartwatches. Samsung announced two new smartwatches at IFA this year: the Samsung Gear S3 Classic and Frontier.

Building a tricked-out PC from scratch can be a satisfying experience. But it's not for everyone, which is why we have modular desktops like HP's new Elite Slice.

The modules stack up underneath the base unit. A proprietary connector based on the USB 3.1 protocol binds the PC with the modules. Snapping modules onto the Eli..>> view originalThe Lenovo Yoga 910 is a powerhouse laptop posing as a 2-in-1
Though it remains unclear if the 2-in-1 will catch on with the mainstream, the devices have become something of a halo product (not to be confused with the Halo keyboard Lenovo just announced). I say that because building one – or more specifically, a good one – is proof of a company’s engineering clout. But it’s not easy. Ideally, a 2-in-1 should be a great laptop and a great tablet. In reality, that’s not yet possible. So designers must choose, and most seem to give preference to portability...>> view original68 Million Dropbox Accounts Hacked And That's Why You Need To Change Your Password Now

The company protects its user passwords by hashing and salting them, meaning that hackers who got hold of hashed files belonging to Dropbox's users were unable to crack them.
