Windows 10 Is About to Get More Secure, Easier to Use

Microsoft is poised to roll out its Windows 10 Anniversary Update on Tuesday.

The free update includes two security innovations for individual customers: Windows Hello for apps and websites; and Windows Defender.
Enterprises will get Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection, which detects, investigates and responds to advanced malicious attacks on networks; and Windows Information Protection, or WIP, previously known as "enterprise data protection."

Smooth Operator

Microsoft "has done a very creditable and admirable job of paying attention to security -- secure by design, secure by default, secure in implementation, and secure in storage," remarked Laura DiDio, a research director at Strategy Analytics.
"Now, they're making it much more usable," she told TechNewsWorld.
The Anniversary Update extends the Windows Hello biometric authentication feature in the browser using FIDO, and enables password-free access to apps such as Dropbox.
The Anniversary Update offers smartphone syncing using the Cortana apps on iOS, Android and Windows 10 Mobile.

Something for Everyone

Windows Ink, which lets users perform a number of tasks with a digital pen, is included in the update. Key apps have Ink-specific features.
With the update, the Cortana personal digital assistant appears above the lockscreen, so it can be used without having to unlock the device.
The Microsoft Edge browser includes more power-saving improvements; various Edge Extensions such as Pinterest's "Pin It" button and AdBlock; and improved visual presentation of Web pages in high contrast mode. The update also streamlines completion of online forms.
Gamers will be able to stay connected with friends on Xbox Live and enjoy more games across their devices with the Anniversary Update. They'll be able to use Cortana commands on Xbox One, and be able to select any supported language regardless of their location.
Finally, the Anniversary Update will simplify PC deployment, so teachers can set up devices without requiring dedicated IT support. Schools with IT support can set up shared devices in bulk, rapidly using the updated Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer tool.

Xiaomi Mi 5 review : Cheap high quality Chinese phone

Xiaomi did not have a great 2015, and the company simply could not shake off its 'budget smartphone' image. Many buyers do not see Xiaomi as a truly premium contender, and with value-for-money offerings such as the new Redmi Note 3 (Review) getting a lot of attention, even more people see the Chinese smartphone giant as a budget specialist that is known for offering feature-filled products at low prices.
(Also see: Can the Mi 5 Help Xiaomi Exit the 'Budget' Segment?)
While this image has certainly helped Xiaomi sell a lot of phones, it's also made it harder for the company to make a serious impact on the premium segment in India. But 2016's second launch from the company is a clear message of its intention to take on the bigwigs. The Mi 5 is Xiaomi's most expensive offering yet, and signals a break away from the "budget" image. With top-end specifications that take on the Samsung Galaxy S7 (Review) at nearly half the price, the Xiaomi Mi 5 has the potential to change the mindsets of premium buyers. We review the phone and find out if this "affordable flagship" lives up to expectations.

Look and feel
The first step to making a premium smartphone is making it look and feel like a luxury item. Xiaomi somewhat succeeded in doing that with the Redmi Note 3, and has done it again with the Mi 5. What it has also managed to do is set the two devices apart significantly, and the Mi 5 has a design and build that is patently different from the much more affordable Redmi Note 3. It feels suitably premium, and does not let its mid-range pricing affect that in any way. It's also extremely light at 129g, and you'll definitely feel the lack of heft in your hands.
That said, there are definite visual similarities to Samsung's A and S ranges, particularly the Samsung Galaxy A8 (Review). The inwards-sloping sides and curved back in particular look similar, as do the physical home key at the front and narrow borders around the screen. At a quick glance, the Mi 5 appears to have absolutely no bezels at all to the left and right of the screen, but on closer inspection we found that there is in fact a hint of border, coloured black to give the impression of an edge-to-edge screen.

There's a front camera, proximity sensor, LED indicator, and earpiece at the top, while the Mi logo finds a place in the top left corner. Alongside the home key are capacitive buttons that can be customised with regards to position and function. Both buttons are backlit but are invisible until they are touched. The home button itself is also touch-sensitive when the phone is being used, which can be switched off if you choose.
The entire frame of the phone is metal, broken only by plastic antenna lines at the top and bottom. The dull finish on the metal looks excellent, and the reflective edges only add to the beauty of it. There's also a great sense of symmetry and evenness all around the phone. The power and volume buttons are on the right, the dual-SIM tray is on the left, the 3.5mm socket and infrared emitter are at the top, and the USB type-C port and grilles are at the bottom. Only the right grille actually houses a speaker, while the left grille houses the microphone, but the symmetry helps maintain the phone's aesthetics.
The back of the Mi 5 is a glass panel which curves at the sides, another similarity to Samsung's high-end models. It's extremely reflective, although the surface is also a grime magnet and will need constant wiping. The top left corner has the camera and flash, while another Mi logo finds a place near the bottom. Although the back panel is not meant to be removable and has no grooves to make it possible to do so, it appears that the panel can come off easily, and slight gaps are visible at the edges. We weren't particularly fond of the white variant (our review sample), and we feel the black variant looks a lot better.

The screen of the Xiaomi Mi 5 is a 5.15-inch full-HD IPS LCD affair, with an impressive pixel density of 428 pixels-per-inch, and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Although other flagship devices sport higher-resolution 1440p screens, Xiaomi explains that in order to keep the thickness of the screen - and the overall thickness of the phone - low, it was necessary to limit resolution to full-HD. This isn't a bad thing at all, since it's suitably sharp as it is, and near-impossible to spot any flaws or apparent lack of detail.
It's also an incredibly bright IPS screen, with a peak brightness rating of 600nits and a minimum brightness of 0.7nits, which is a significantly broader range than many other devices are capable of. The peak brightness is very useful under direct sunlight, and legibility is excellent. Black levels aren't particularly great though, and this is the only significant flaw in the phone's screen.

Specifications and software
The Xiaomi Mi 5 is the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 820-powered smartphone officially available in India, and is (at least on paper) one of the most powerful devices you can buy today, along with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. A notable change between the 820 and its predecessor the 810 is the fact that Qualcomm has decided to skip the core wars and go back to a more efficient quad-core architecture. Although the Snapdragon 820 can be clocked at up to 2.2GHz for all of its four cores, the Mi 5 has the SoC clocked at 1.8GHz for two cores and 1.3GHz for the other two.
There's also 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, support for VoLTE, NFC, an infrared emitter, and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 compatibility. Our review unit came with a Quick Charge 3.0 charger, but we've been told that units sold in India will come with a Quick Charge 2.0-compatible charger. Charging is quick even with a 2.0-compatible charger, and you can juice the phone up in less than 90 minutes.
