Air Taxis: The future of City Transport
Saudi GazetteFive years time, air taxis could be a normal sight in large cities. Increasing traffic and congestion in cities are driving engineers at Airbus to work on urban air mobility for commuters.Ordering an electrical helicopter on demand through an app or riding a single-passenger air vehicle are the future of urban transport, Airbus told reporters at their headquarters in Toulouse, France.One factor that has made it possible in the digital age is the significant decrease in cost of technologies like memory chips, cameras, drones and batteries.Another is the increased flow of venture capital into startups in recent years.The technology trends to make such a revolution in transport possible are autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and digital design manufacturing.“In congested...

Digital Souks
Prices for malware and hacking tools are generally a bit more expensive in the Middle East than in other regions, according to a report by cybersecurity solutions provider Trend Micro.A report titled ‘Digital Souks: A Glimpse into the Middle Eastern and North African Underground’, revealed several findings on cybercrime activities in the region.A keylogger in the North American underground runs for USD 1-USD 4, but here it can be up to USD 19. However, the willingness for members to share content for a mutual cause helps balance out the price differences.“Also, the prevalence of giving services and malware away for free is interesting,” says Ihab Moawad, Vice President, Trend Micro, Mediterranean, Middle East & Africa. “Other underground marketplaces provide support to members,...

‘Automation a must in Cybersecurity’: Expert
Saudi GazetteMany organizations tend to lack the skillsets to respond efficiently as it’s not enough to simply detect a cyber threat, according to a cybersecurity expert.‘Organizations believe that a firewall or anti-virus will immediately protect their systems,’ says Jason Mical, vice president of endpoint products at Fidelis Cybersecurity. ‘They think they’re safe until their wall starts crumbling and then they don’t know how to respond. They don’t know how to protect it or prevent a cyberattack in the first place.’Such threats are not new, he explains, as ransomwares and hackers are now finding vulnerabilities they can exploit successfully.With the rise of the internet of things and digital transformation, they pose a risk to not only computers but also home appliances,...

Video game part does double-duty — on a submarine
By Michael Buchanan NEW YORK — The US Navy will outfit its latest nuclear-powered attack submarine with hardware from a home video game. It sounds crazy. But replacing a $38,000 joystick that controls the submarine’s “eyes” with Microsoft’s $30 gaming controller makes more than just financial sense. (President Trump has directed all federal agencies “to protect every last American and every last tax dollar.”) The idea to use the Xbox came from the Navy sailors themselves, many of whom grew up playing video games. They are used to the Xbox controller and can pick up in minutes how to use the digital periscope system. “If we have a good idea, we bring it in here and try it out. It may work, it may not,” said Jacob Shultz of Lockheed Martin, which formally tested the Xbox...

Is online video suitable for every visitor?
Jeddah — If your customer is doing a specific task on your e-store, then think twice before providing a time-consuming, distracting video.

Armand Bombardier Foundation, and recently published at Online Information Review.The use of “streaming media” by online users has been on the rise.

A Google hands-free camera snaps pics by itself
SAN FRANCISCO — Google is introducing a hands-free camera that will automatically take photos and video for people looking to catch candid moments of their family, friends and pet.
