computerworld.comTwo of the hottest technologies today - augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) - are likely to have a big impact on enterprise mobility strategies, according to industry experts. Not for a couple of years, it’s true. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be prepared to deal with them as part of your enterprise mobility management (EMM). The funny thing about our ever-accelerating technology advances is that things that were only emerging one day are suddenly everyday business tools the next - and you have to manage them.To read this article in full, please click here(Insider Story)...

computerworld.comMozilla this week decreed that future web-facing features of Firefox must meet an under-development standard that requires all browser-to-server-and-back traffic be encrypted."Effective immediately, all new features that are web-exposed are to be restricted to secure contexts," wrote Mozilla engineer Anne van Kesteren in a post to a company blog.

[ More info: 14 must-have Firefox add-ons of 2017 ] Secure contexts, dubbed a "minimum security level," is a pending standard of the W3 (World Wide Web Consortium), the primary standards body for the web.

They're things we heard about, talked about, then largely forgot about.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comNever give a sucker an even break. Yesterday, on a very out-of-band Wednesday, Microsoft released preview patches for Windows 8.1 (but not 7!), Server 2012, and Windows 10 1709 (for bricked AMD machines only), with preview cumulative updates for Win10 1703 and 1607. There are also nine different .NET preview patches.What should you do? Nothing. More accurately, make sure you DON’T install any of them. Fortunately, all of these patches require that you download and install them - and you’d have to be crazy (or an admin trying to shore up some critical servers) to dive into the cesspool.It’s the same advice I’ve been giving all month. There’s nothing here that you need right now - there are no known exploits for Meltdown or Spectre in the wild, in particular - and machines are dropping like flies.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comInternet filter is installed at this site, and in the beginning, there are complaints from users who can't get to their favorite non-business sites, says an IT pilot fish working there.But after six months and lots of explanations to users, the complaints have stopped. "Then one Saturday evening, a user called me," fish says."He called to report that something must be wrong, because he could get to his lottery numbers tonight."I told him thanks, and that I would inform the individual in charge of the filter on Monday morning, as it wasn't stopping anything production-critical during the weekend hours."I still can't decide which is funnier: the fact that apparently every day for nearly six months this user tried to get to his lottery numbers even though the page should have never loaded again -- or that, when he actually was able to, he reported it as a problem."To read this article in full, please click here...
