Software : Samsung locks in KNOX deal with Telefónica |
| Samsung locks in KNOX deal with Telefónica Posted:  Telefónica has struck a partnership with Samsung to include its KNOX secure mobile platform within its portfolio. The agreement follows the launch of KNOX 2.0 at MWC 2014, and will, the two companies hope, provide comprehensive mobile solutions for organisations and their employees. KNOX allows employees to partition their mobiles, having a work phone and a personal phone on one device to save switching between two handsets. Users are able to create encrypted work data protected by password and fingerprint verification. InnovationTelefónica will be making KNOX features available to its enterprise customers on a number of Samsung devices, including the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 3. "This agreement reflects Telefónica's commitment to provide innovative security solutions to its customers," said Oliver Martinez, director of security at Telefónica, in a statement. "We are now in a position to bring the best mobile security solution for our enterprise, MNC and Public Administration customers who are using Samsung´s devices." "We look forward to working with Telefonica to respond to the increasing convergence between consumer and enterprise technology," added Rob Orr, vice president of enterprise sales at Samsung Europe. |
| 'Netflix for torrents' app Popcorn Time shuts down, but sequel on the way Posted:  The creators of free movie streaming app Popcorn Time have announced they're shuttering the project, but the open source app is set to make a quick return via the torrent site YTS. Popcorn Time emerged a week ago with the makers of the slick app insisting it was legal, despite appearing to be a veritable Netflix for illegal movie streams. In a blog post this weekend, the makers said they planned was move on, but weren't ducking out due to legal pressures or lack of support. "Popcorn Time as a project is legal. We checked. Four Times," wrote the company. Shady machinery"Popcorn Time is shutting down today. Not because we ran out of energy, commitment, focus or allies. But because we need to move on with our lives. "Our experiment has put us at the doors of endless debates about piracy and copyright, legal threats and the shady machinery that makes us feel in danger for doing what we love. And that's not a battle we want a place in." That battle will now be fought by the torrent site YTS who have vowed to take on the mantle and resurrect the Popcorn Time app. YTS developer Jduncanator told TorrentFreak: "We are in a better position copyright wise as for us, because it's build on our API, it's as if we have built another interface to our website. "We are no worse off managing the project than we would be just supplying the movies." |
