It might not be Halloween anymore, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still thinking about The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In fact, true fans spend all year waiting for the midnight premieres, only so we can throw rice at the screen and yell obscenities in public. Despite its cult following, one thing that can’t be denied is how dysfunctional the relationships are throughout the timeline of this film. From a Transexual Transylvania to full-on swingers (ahem, Janet and Brad), it’s an NSFW masterpiece....

It’ll usually hide itself from normal directory and process listings made either by native OS tools, or third party software which functions in the same way. It does this so that the user does not detect its presence and take steps to try and remove it....

[Update: The rumor is even less credible based on this line on the iPhone X product page: “AirPods with wireless charging capabilities coming in 2018.”] A new report today says that the upcoming AirPods wireless charging case will cost $69 and launch at the end of the year. However, we’re somewhat skeptical as we haven’t seen any official details from Apple and the company already charges that amount for standard replacement charging cases....

You know all those rumors about the Note III having 3GB of RAM? Well, they might be legit. Samsung just published a press release this morning saying they’ve begun mass producing “three gigabyte (GB) low power double data rate 3 (LPDDR3) mobile DRAM” for smartphones.

It’s OK, neither have I. They call themselves “The Carbon Company”, and they’re one of the largest produces of carbon fiber in the world....

How can threat modeling improve application security posture? Application security is all about minimizing the potential cybersecurity risk and threats to a particular application. In order to effectively protect against these potential threats, it is necessary to understand what they are. Threat modeling helps to improve application security posture by helping developers to identify the potential threats and attack vectors for their applications. This information can then be incorporated into the design and implementation of these applications to decrease their exploitability and exposure to cybersecurity threats....

When Apple revealed on Tuesday that the current Mac Pro will not see a major update and instead an all-new modular Mac Pro is being developed, the company stopped short of saying just when that decision was made and how long ago the new project started.
