First tablet to combine Windows 8.1 and 64 bit unveiled from HP

HP unveiled its newest tablet named as the new 64-bit ElitePad, describing a Windows 8.1 tablet empowered by the Bay Trail Chip of Intel, which will now go 64 bit.

This new ElitePad 1000 packs Windows 8.1 with 64 compatibility, also inside are a LTE/4G modem, which is pretty unusual for Windows tablet till day.

Hewlett Packard, HP, has bagged the place of being the first one to offer 64 bit in a tablet running Windows 8.1 and making use of the latest mobile processor from Intel.

HP made announcement of HP ElitePad 1000 just recently, which has been described as the upgraded and revamped version of the 64 bit HP ElitePad. The tablet can be bought in the month of March. The features you can grab hold of include a quad-core Bay Trail processor, 64 GB or 128 GB storage, Qualcomm Gobi 4G LTE and a high resolution display of 10.1 inch.

Dell, following the footsteps of HP, is touted to release the updated version of Venue tablets in the 64 bit mode soon.

Meanwhile, Windows tablets running on the newest processors from Intel, which have been redesigned, from brands like Dell, Lenovo. HP, Toshiba and Acer have run only on the 32-bit mode. The biggest and most obvious reason of shifting to the 64 bit slot was to provide increased memory, which goes ahead of the 4 GB limit, which is typical to a 32 bit application. But, there are other reasons being quoted as well.

The demand for 64 bit has seen ample momentum in recent times as IT organizations now wish to standardize on 64 bit apps and 64 bit images.

In the meantime, a handful of laptop-tablet hybrids which are Intel Haswell-based, like the Dell Venue 11 Pro and Surface Pro 2, run in the 64 bit version, but these are more closer to a laptop than a tablet. Also, the dimensions are bulkier for a tablet, thus drifting away the whole look and feel from a tablet.

The race of 64 bit devices entering the market has seen ample gain just after Apple made announcement of its 64 bit A7 processor that will be present in the iPad Air, iPhone 5 and iPad Mini Retina, which the company said in 2013.

New software-Gyrus, will help in preventing online banking scams

Becoming victim of an online money transfer fraud has turned into a common thing today, which many users face on almost daily basis. The need for a software that can block unauthorized commands during money transfer, thus seems imperative. To address just this need of users, a new software is now being developed.

Named as Gyrus, it’s a prototype software designed by researchers at Georgia Tech, which is extra cautious in preventing malware from sending spam emails and instant messages.

Gyrus appears to be present a transparent security layer on top of a window application. If Gyrus finds any tampering in the user-intended data, the traffic is blocked and user notified instantly.

The protection programs that exist are capable in recognizing the original user’s objective to transfer money online, send email or get involved in other transactions, but these are unable in verifying the specifics like amount of money and content of the email.

The lack of context makes it difficult in verifying the full intent of the user, irrespective of the fact that the software is protecting the money transfer, an industry-specific system or a broad range of user-driven applications.

The research at Georgia Tech aims at observing most part of text-based applications, helping the user objective get displayed on screen as text. This will help the user in making changes, if any info on screen is not what he or she actually wants.

As per researchers who created the same, Gyrus is based on WYSIWYS policy, which stands for “What You See Is What You Send”.

The idea of defining apt application behaviors by capturing the user’s aim is not totally new, but past attempts made on this front have resulted in simple model of the user’s behavior.

Gyrus, meanwhile, will capture richer semantics that cover both text contents and the user actions, alongside applications semantics; this will help the system in sending only user-intended network traffic.

Gyrus, indirectly will help in correctly determining the user purpose from the screen, which is displayed to the user.
