Samsung Galaxy Note5 finally landing in Europe early next year

When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note5 back in August this year, it was announced that the device won’t be available in Europe, at least not this year. Now, the year is about to end, and a couple of new reports are claiming that the handset is all set to land in Europe early next year.

A report from Gadgette says the smartphone will go on sale in the UK in January, i.e., next month. And AndroidCentral, on its part, has confirmed that the device will indeed be available for purchase in European markets in early 2016.

There’s, however, still no word on the price tag the Galaxy Note5 will carry in…

OpenSSL: se descubren cuatro vulnerabilidades

openSSL

Una de las ventajas indiscutibles del software libre es la libertad que este ofrece, no sólo por el hecho de disponer de aplicaciones y código fuente sin limitaciones, sino porque además las vulnerabilidades se corrigen en forma mucho más rápida que en sistemas operativos como OS X o Windows ya que aquí es la comunidad de desarrolladores la que suele traer las soluciones y no hay que esperar a que una compañía se digne a ponerlas a disposición de los usuarios.

Además, a diferencia de aquellas plataformas los problemas y vulnerabilidades se exponen y mencionan en lugar de quedar como algo oculto hasta que no queda más remedio que admitirlo, como hemos visto suceder en repetidas ocasiones. Por estas horas, en el proyecto OpenSSL han informado del hallazgo de cuatro vulnerabilidades, de las cuales tres son de riesgo moderado mientras que una es de riesgo muy bajo.

Una es causada por la obtención de resultados incorrectos en el módulo BN_mod_exp en la arquitectura X86_64, mientras que otra tiene su origen en un problema con un certificado con parámetros PSS erróneos y la tercera vulnerabilidad de riesgo moderado tiene que ver con una falla de memoria en el atributo X509_ATTRIBUTE. La cuarta, la de menor riesgo, está originada en el manejo de identidades PSK.

Como vemos, se trata de cuestiones bastante avanzadas como para que un usuario común y corriente (es decir aquellos que no son desarrolladores), pero como mencionábamos al comienzo es bueno que desde el mismo proyecto se expongan las vulnerabilidades y se alerte a los usuarios sobre las mismas. Por lo pronto, se han lanzado versiones de OpenSSL 0.9.8 y OpenSSL 1.0.0 con las correcciones incorporadas, así que se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar cuanto antes.

‘Superman V Batman’ Vs. ‘Captain America: Civil War’

In the video above I compare two of the biggest movies of 2016 that just so happen to be covering two of the most epic events in comic book history. DC’s Superman V Batman and Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War both have some of our favorite heroes facing off; Batman Vs. Superman and Iron Man Vs. Captain America… but which film will capture the comics most faithfully and nail the “responsibility of power” theme that is central to both stories.

Gift This, Not That: Apple Smart Keyboard Vs. Zagg Messenger Universal

Unless you recently came into an inheritance, or that special someone has been extraordinarily good this year, the iPad Pro is a bit pricey for most holiday gift lists.
