According to Dharmendra Modha, the lead researcher on the project recently speaking to Quartz recently said that he foresees the future of computing to be made out of two types of computers, traditional logical computers and synaptic brain computer. These would together function like a kind of left brain-right brain interaction to create systems that were not imaginable in the past. “Existing computers as really fast calculators,” Modha said. Even though the current chips are extremely good in examining details in a logical order, the new “neuromorphic” types of chips that are being worked upon by Modha’s team are more appropriate in finding patterns, for example, like the right side of the brain....
Disney launches Linux based “Linux Light Bulb” for a interconnected home networkAdditional References The working idea behind this innovation was developed by Disney in collaboration with a Swiss University,ETH(located at Zurich).The system uses a linux coded chip embedded into LED to make it suitable for communicating with devices holding similar capabilities.Suitable candidates may be toys, wearables, phones, computers, cars, and other Internet of Things gizmos. This system uses VLC (Visible Light Communication) technology, which is highly emerging today and has been in a stage of evolution from recent years....

For the uninitiated, Dridex is a deadly banking malware that leverages macros in Microsoft Office to infect systems. Once a computer has been infected, Dridex attackers steals banking credentials and other personal information on the system to gain access to the financial records of a user. Dridex operates by first arriving on a user’s computer as a malicious spam e-mail with a Microsoft Word document attached to the message. If the victim opens the document, a macro embedded in the document surreptitiously triggers a download of the Dridex banking malware, enabling it to first steal banking credentials and then attempt to generate fraudulent financial transactions....
