We spoke to several firms in the Mac channel, on the condition of anonymity, and they were in flag waving mode.One told us it is "too early to tell" if the Maxi Pad will serve as a laptop or Surface replacement device, but "I can count on one hand the number of customers that have requested Microsoft's Surface"."IT directors and CIOs are certainly considering Apple as part of their overall procurement. I don't think IT buyers are always looking for the cheapest upfront price, they look at the total cost of ownership. There is greater residual value in Macs and iPads."Another said the device seems to fit well in Apple's classic sectors - print and publishing, video & broadcasting - and he has "great hopes for it" in the wider enterprise but was unsure how it will sell.Picture, if you will, a new Boss. A new Boss who wants to make a name for himself – like they ALL do – by lowering costs. Instead of the most effective solution – jumping off the balcony – he looks for the largest capital cost to reduce... like they ALL do.

At this time of the financial year desktop machines APPEAR to be costing us money because everyone waits till the end of the year to see how much dosh is left in their budget before stampeding to Mission Control to OK new desktops.Seeing this, the new Boss made the executive decision to reject our suggestion of name-brand PCs (which, while overpriced, are easy to order and track, relatively bulletproof, have a three year on-site warranty AND come with a licence sticker that wasn't printed on an inkjet printer in a garage in Croydon) with cut-price tin that's sourced in an ad-hoc manner from a vendor on eBay with a shorter operating life than the machines he's selling.Around the two week mark, these machines start failing – as predicted. The helldesk is INUNDATED with calls from people reporting their licence key is invalid, the trial period has expired or their machine has stopped working. So the cut-price solution is to divert the calls elsewhere and hope people will fix their own machines in frustration.

Spyware is targeting users of the Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars online games – and it is said to allow cheats to get a sneaky advantage over honest players.The malware, named Odlanor, first checks if PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker is running before taking screenshots of the infected player’s virtual poker hand and their player ID before sending screenshots to the attacker, while logging other activity.The hacker then joins the victim’s virtual table by searching for the particular player ID before enjoying an unfair advantage in gameplay thanks to knowing the victim’s hand. The victim is, of course, left in completely in the dark with no indication that anything has gone wrong.As of September 16, several hundred users were infected with the Odlanor malware, according to security software firm ESET."We have seen this trojan masquerading as a number of benign installers for various general purpose programs, such as Daemon Tools or uTorrent. In other cases, the spyware is installed through various poker-related programs," said Robert Lipovsky, senior malware researcher at ESET.

Online gaming enthusiasts should be wary of trojanised versions of poker-related programs – poker player databases, poker calculators, and so on – such as Tournament Shark, Poker Calculator Pro, Smart Buddy, Poker Office, and others.ESET has detected the malware in the wild since March 2015. In newer versions of the malware, general-purpose data-stealing functionality was added by running a version of NirSoft WebBrowserPassView, embedded in the Oldanor trojan. This tool, is capable of extracting passwords from various web browsers.More details of the scam can be found in a blog post by ESET here.Malware in the occasionally high-stakes world of online poker is a rare but far from unprecedented problem. For example, two years ago there was a case where a laptop was apparently stolen from a top-flight poker pro's hotel room and mysteriously returned while he played in a card tournament. It was later found to be infected by spyware. Microsoft has delivered a minor update to Windows RT, the ARM-based version of Windows 8 which runs on Surface 1 and 2 and on tablets from Lenovo, Nokia and others.

Windows RT is a locked-down version of Windows which includes the Windows desktop and Microsoft Office, but allows only Store apps to be installed.The OS failed in the market, partly because of the weak Windows 8 app ecosystem, and partly because of its confusing name. Some customers bought Windows RT devices not realising that it would not run their Windows applications.With Windows 10 Microsoft hopes to bring more and better apps to its Windows Store, thanks to a new Universal Windows Platform (UWP) in which apps run in desktop windows, rather than in a separate environment, and which supports multiple form factors, from phone to PC.This will be no help to Windows RT owners though, since it will not run UWP apps. This update may be all users get in terms of new features, and there is not much to it.Specifically, the update enables a Start menu in Windows RT, along with “circular frames for user account pictures” (please contain your excitement).

Note that the Start menu in Windows RT is not the same as that in the released Windows 10, which is built with XAML (the presentation language for Store and UWP apps), but is an implementation previously seen in early preview versions.The update installed easily on a Surface 2 device, though it was not automatic – look for optional update 3033055 if you want to install this. Once installed, you can right-click the taskbar and select “Use the Start menu instead of the Start screen” from the Properties menu.The new menu is in some ways an improvement over that in Windows 10. It is fast and hierarchical in the All Apps section. The Live Tiles pane auto-expands as you add more shortcuts. However, there is no option to run the new Start menu full-screen; if you want that, you must go back to the old implementation. There is no “Tablet mode”.My guess is that many Surface RT users will do just that, since the new one is not an improvement. If you always use a Windows RT device like a laptop, the new menu may work better for you, but for touch use the older Start Screen is easier to use.

Despite its market failure, and annoyances like limited availability of printer drivers, there is a lot to like in Windows RT. It is less troublesome than other versions of Windows even though Microsoft never achieved iPad-like simplicity of maintenance; this might have come in a hypothetical future version with the desktop completely removed.Windows RT is dead but Windows on ARM is not, surviving both on Windows 10 Mobile devices and on small devices such as Raspberry Pi.Windows 10 also supports locking down a device in a similar manner, thanks to the Device Guard feature, which lets you protect the operating system and whitelist application installs. But now the decidedly less schizophrenic Windows 10 has arrived, this semi-premium Ultrabook suddenly makes so much more sense.Let’s get one thing out of the way. The ZenBook UX305 is a machine you buy as much for style and portability as outright performance. The portability side of the deal isn’t in any doubt. The key numbers here are 1.2 and 12.3. That’s the weight in kilograms and depth in millimeters. And that’s not at all bad for a laptop with a 13.3-inch screen.

It makes this Asus rather more than class competitive for a thin’n’light. Perhaps more importantly, the UX305 is thinner and lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air. It's cheaper too, at £649 to the Apple’s £849 with the same size hard drive.To my mind, the style side of things isn’t in much doubt either. In my opinion it’s a lovely looking bit of kit. Asus’ PR wallah told me he thought it was one of the best looking things Asus has produced. Hard to argue with the man.Aluminium body and trademark ZenBook swirls on the lid are the stylistic highlights of the UX305 The UX305 is encased in a rather fetching and very solid aluminium body which is painted a rather unusual dark purple colour. Officially it’s called Obsidian Stone. The lid is engraved with Asus’ trademark ZenBook swirls to give it just that bit of extra dash.It feels well bolted together, too. The lid is unusually solid for something so thin and the hinge is weighted to perfection. It’s not the easiest thing to open though, two hands and a fingernail are required.

“Millimetre-wave” wireless technologies (such as un 802.11ad) are seen by vendors as a key part of future in-home connectivity, but there's a lot of work to be done to actually make it work.That's the conclusion of a group of University of Buffalo boffins, who ran a series of tests on 60 GHz wireless systems to see how they perform in the real world.The 60 GHz spectrum is eyed greedily for many reasons: the more traffic we can move away from the familiar cellular bands – 700 MHz, 1.2 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 3.2 GHz and so on – the more spectrum is available for mobiles that can't use the short-range millimetre-wave technology.Also, 60 GHz spectrum gives you a lot of room for very wide, and therefore very fast, channels; and third, its short range means there's less worry that your neighbour's access point will create noise that slows down your network.The only problem, according to this paper at ArXiv, is that we're not yet very good at using 60 GHz systems. The university's Swetank Saha, Viral Vijay Vira and Anuj Garg tested 60 GHz systems in a couple of quite simple configurations – “room” and “corridor” – and pinned down several problems they hope will help inform future designers.

In particular, they write, distance and line-of-sight are challenges.If you're only using a 60 GHz system to connect (for example) a keyboard to a computer, neither of these are a problem.However, the researchers note, you only need enough distance between two hosts for someone to walk through and get in the way, because “signals in the 60 GHz band are easily blocked by obstacles such as walls, furniture, or humans”.Rather than set up a lab, the researchers put together their tests in what they called a “typical academic office building”.Here are the kinds of things the researchers found impacted their 802.11 ad setup (a Dell Latitude E420 laptop with a Wilocity wil6210 radio, and a Dell wireless dock), with a variety of antenna orientations:Orientation: It sounds obvious, but at 60 GHz using current off-the-shelf kit, misalignment between transmitter and receiver can kill the communication entirely. Reflection helps (because the multi-in-multi-out, MIMO, antennas are designed to do some beam-steering), and hard surfaces do that better than soft.Transmitter height: with a receiver fixed at 2'6” (762 mm), the researchers tested the transmitter at between 2'6” and 6'6” (762 and 1981mm). As the excerpt of the results in the image below shows, the combination of height and orientation gave wildly variable performance.
