In a rare move, government officials have handed security researchers a seized server believed to be used by North Korean hackers to launch dozens of targeted attacks last year. Known as Operation Sharpshooter, the server was used to deliver a malware campaign targeting governments, telecoms, and defense contractors — first uncovered in December. The hackers sent […]

Listening to music can have a profound effect on your state of mind — which could be part of the reason we buy headphones like they’re going out of fashion. Listening to music (or podcasts, or audiobooks) can be an integral part of getting through that daily commute or lengthy flight.
But if the incessant sound of jet engines, the distracting laugh of a coworker in the next cubicle, or the deafening bang of nearby construction seems to prevent you from reaching that euphoric place, the best solution is to invest in some noise-cancelling headphones.
Active noise-cancelling headphones can electronically remove the sound coming from your surroundings. They work by using internal microphones that listen to what’s happening in the world around you, then inverting the noise and sending it into the loudspeaker. The idea is, both the output and the input will cancel out, leaving you with near-silence— or the music you want to listen to. Read more…

You don’t have to be an audiophile to know that headphones without noise cancellation are kind of pointless.
What good does booming bass or sweet highs and lows do when it’s competing with construction outside or a raging toddler two seats away?
If you’re craving some peace and quiet (but could do without Bose’s $349 price tag), these noise-cancelling wireless headphones from Sony are a great choice — and $70 off at Walmart.

The Sony WHCH700N Wireless Headphones are optimal for quite literally any lifestyle. Artificial Intelligence Noise Cancellation scopes out your surroundings and adjusts the sounds for optimal ranges wherever you are — because noise cancellation on an airplane isn’t the same as noise cancellation when walking through Times Square, Sony’s I Headphones Connect app also lets you adjust details manually, and even lets you simulate the sound of an outdoor stage, club, hall, or arena.

Streaming services are now paying out big money to the music industry’s gatekeepers.
According to a new report by industry news outlet Music Business Worldwide, the three major music labels made $6.93 billion combined from streaming in 2018. The publication poured through recent investor filings from Universal Music Group’s parent company Vivendi, Sony, and Warner and found that the companies are totaling $19 million in daily streaming revenue.
Broken down even further, the trio of labels generate nearly $800,000 per hour just from music streaming services.
As Rolling Stone points out, when looking at the combined revenue for the three labels across all formats and commercial endeavors — $13.14 billion — streaming revenue accounts for more than half of that. That’s more than a 10 percent jump when compared to how much streaming revenue accounted for in 2017. Read more…

Sony’s new Xperia phones have the widest screens we’ve ever seen
It’s impossible to ignore certain trends like foldable phones, hole-punch displays, and 5G at Mobile World Congress this year.
Every company seems to be chasing the same things, except Sony. Instead of copying the same trends, the beleaguered tech giant going widescreen — really widescreen with its new flagship Xperia 1, Xperia 10, and Xperia 10 Plus Android phones.
Like LG and HTC, Sony was once considered a formidable phone maker. The last few years have seen the Japanese tech giant release some well-spec’d phones, but nothing that screamed wow. Many of its phones like the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 were more like catchup than class-leading. Read more…

Two years ago, aspect ratios were all the rage. These days, it’s 5G and foldable all the way down, making the Xperia 1 a bit of a throwback. These days, the company’s getting even longer, with a 21:9 display on Sony’s new flagship. The idea is to make things as cinematic as is possible for […]
