According to the latest rumors, the answer is yes.<br /><br />Although the latest iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are bound to be popular gifts this holiday season, that hasn't stopped the Internet from speculating on what will be in Apple's next iPhone. According to Japanese blog Macotakara, Apple will be getting rid of the 3.5 mm headphone jack that has been standard on iPhones and other devices for years.<br /><br />Macotakara has been accurate in the past, most recently correctly predicting that the iPhone 6 would come in a 4.7-inch version and 5.5-inch 6 Plus variant.<br /><br />According to the report's "reliable source," Apple will be replacing the included Earpods with those that plug in through the device's Lightning port. Users could also use Bluetooth wireless headphones, which have become increasingly more popular over the years. Those with older headphones will likely still be able to use them, though they would likely need an adapter that plugs into the Lightning port.<br /><br />The move is said to allow Apple to make the next iPhone even thinner, which is in line with what the company has traditionally done following an "S" year like this past one was.<br /><br />As usual with early rumors like this one, Apple has remained mum on the topic.<br /><br />The move to change the headphone jack or ports on the iPhone is also not unprecedented for Apple. The first iPhone in 2007 had a recessed headphone jack that was deeper into the phone than most devices and required an adapter to work with many headphones. This part of the iPhone was largely criticized by critics and users and Apple returned to a standard port with the iPhone 3G in 2008.<br /><br />The company switched to the now standard Lightning port in 2012 with the iPhone 5 after using the larger 30-pin connector on its iPhones, iPads and iPods. That move was initially met with a tepid response, though users and accessory makers quickly adapted.<br /><br />The headphone rumor is one of many early iPhone 7 theories. Others that have popped up in recent days include an Apple patent that would allow the phone to be used with gloves (something rival Android and Windows phones can already do) and that the company has a patent to make the phones more water resistant.<br /><br />If recent history holds true Apple will likely unveil the next iPhone in the fall of 2016, with plenty of rumors and speculation happening between now and then.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">credit:usatoday </span>

The New Rules of Success

<img alt="The New Rules of Success" height="400" src="https://cdn.psychologytoday.com/sites/default/files/styles/article-inline-half/public/field_blog_entry_images/thumb-328420_640.jpg?itok=KbXeK4xJ" title="The New Rules of Success" width="377" /><br /><br />Many people have been taught everything from algebra to zoology but not the keys to real-world success. <br /><br />Some are time-honored, others reflect modern times. <br /><br />Work long. An old saw is, "Work smart, not long." Alas, today's truth is that, in many workplaces, especially in prestigious organizations, working long is also key to being promoted and not "laid off." <br /><br />Be low-maintenance. In a kinder world, bosses and coworkers would be particularly supportive of employees in need: who suffer from mental illness, have a family member with cancer, and simply who need tasks reexplained. But I'd be less than honest than to encourage you to open up about such things. In many workplaces, especially in prestigious organizations, everyone feels pressure to do more with less and so if you're perceived as high-maintenance, you become a candidate for being marginalized, shunted aside where others won't have to deal with your issues. <br /><br />Alas, the rule for getting ahead in many if not most of today's workplaces: Be preternaturally pleasant. No, not necessarily chirpy, just moderately upbeat nearly all the time. <br /><br />Get technical. The days are rapidly ending when you can afford to say "I'm not a math person" or "I'm not technical." While soft skills such as communication and organization are widely important, increasingly, they're valued only in concert with technical skills. <br /><br />Attend You U. The old rule was "Degrees are worth it" But now, their price tag has gone throug the roof. At the same time, good courses are now available nearly free online (Udemy, Udacity, Coursera, edX, etc. In addition, there are free, time-effective YouTube and other online videos, and Google-findiable articles on every imaginable subject. All that has made You U an often-wiser choice: Create a curriculum personalized to your needs and that of your employer. You U enables you to learn what you want, when you want, far faster, and at dramatically lower cost. Just make sure your job applications make clear how your You U education not only was more practical but is evidence of your being a cost-conscious self-starter. <br /><br />Learn how to play team ball. Individual initiative is largely being replaced by team effort. The successful team member must learn to express disagreement in ways that while tactful, gets the point across, be patient in the face of the inefficiency common in team efforts, and accept that credit must be shared, even often with those who didn't pull their weight. <br /><br />As you move up, you must learn how to run a crisp meeting: tight agenda, friendly but professional tone, subtly encouraging conciseness, learning when to rely on consensus and when to make a leaderly decision, and ensuring that commitments made in the meeting are kept. <br /><br />Communicate deftly. People are ever more sensitive to slights. So you must weigh whether the upside of providing feedback is worth the possible alienation. If so, with most people, you must exert great care in how you couch a suggestion. Except in extreme situations, you must prioritize letting them save face. So rather than, "I think you should do X because of Y," you're on safer ground if you say, "Because of Y, I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to do X. What do you think?" <br /><br />Remember the Triple Bottom Line. In the old days, it was all about the bottom line: what will enhance profitability. Today, in a growing percentage of workplaces, there is a triple bottom line: profits, people, planet. As you make your decisions, it's wise to consider all three. <br /><br />Beware The Third Rail. Race and gender are ever more difficult to discuss candidly. You may wish to be silent on the issue. Or if you speak up, it's much safer to opine in the politically correct direction: that you advocate reallocating more to women, people of color, the disabied, and LBGTs .The workplace highway is littered with people killed because they dared question that Orthodoxy. <br /><br />Focus on The Other. Almost 100 years ago now, Dale Carnegie wrote the highly influential, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Its core advice is as valid today as ever: Focus on the other person. Let them talk; ask about them; help them get their needs met. <br /><br />For example, perhaps the best question you could ask a coworker and especially your boss is, "How Could I Make Your Life Easier?" As legendary sales trainer Zig Ziglar said, To get what you want, help people get what they want."<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">credit:psychologytoday </span>

KICKASSTORRENTS Disappears From Google After Penalty

Meanwhile, the top search result in many locations points to a scam site that's serving malware to its visitors. For now, only DuckDuckGo presents the real site as a main result.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="KICKASSTORRENTS Disappears From Google After Penalty" height="279" src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/kickass.jpg" title="KICKASSTORRENTS Disappears From Google After Penalty" width="400" /></article><article class="hentry entry entry-single" id="entry-108130" style="border-right-color: white; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 28px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2em;">With millions of visitors per day KickassTorrents (KAT) is arguably the most visited torrent site on the Internet, outranking even the notorious Pirate Bay</article><article class="hentry entry entry-single" id="entry-108130" style="border-right-color: white; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 28px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2em;">After several domain hops KAT has been operating from the KAT.cr domain name for a few months now. However, in recent weeks many infrequent visitors have experienced trouble locating the site, leading to all sorts of problems.<br /><br />Traditionally, the site has been easy to find through Google by entering the search terms “KickassTorrents” or “Kickass Torrents,” but this is no longer the case.<br /><br />In fact, the official KAT.cr address is nowhere to be found in the top results. Instead, people see the unknown and unaffiliated Kickasstorrents.eu domain on top in many locations, as the screenshot below shows.<div class="entry-content" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-left: 0px;"> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"> </div> <center style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Google’s KickassTorrents search results</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></center> <center style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px;"> <img alt="KICKASSTORRENTS Disappears From Google After Penalty" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108134" height="440" src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/googlekick.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" title="KICKASSTORRENTS Disappears From Google After Penalty" width="600" /></center> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"> </div> <br /><br />The KAT team informs us that Google began to penalize its pages a while ago, for reasons unknown. Perhaps there are ways to solve the problems, but the site is currently not doing any search engine optimization (SEO).<br /><br />“It’s already about five or six months since we started to experience some kind of penalty from Google. The issue is that we were not performing any SEO activities at all,” KAT says.<br /><br />What makes matters worse is that .eu site which tops Google search results is a scam. It doesn’t offer any torrents but instead <a href="http://i.imgur.com/rrWmQum.png">prompts visitors</a> to download File_Downloader.exe, which appears to be <a href="http://www.freefixer.com/library/file/File_Downloader.exe-134494/">malware</a>.<br /><br />The KAT team finds it unfortunate that Google is sending tens of thousands of visitors to a shady site and encourages people to check the official <a href="https://www.facebook.com/official.KAT.fanclub">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/kickasstorrents">Twitter</a>accounts for the latest official domain name.<br /><br />Interestingly, not all search engines treat KAT the same. In Bing the site’s official domain name is not on top either, but it’s listed on the first page. DuckDuckGo does the best job, <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=kickasstorrents&ia=about">identifying</a> the correct domain and even tagging it as an “official site,” which is quite useful to estranged KAT users.<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"> </div> <center style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">DuckDuckGo’s KickassTorrents search results</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></center> <center style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px;"> <img alt="KICKASSTORRENTS Disappears From Google After Penalty" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108137" height="429" src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/duckkick.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" title="KICKASSTORRENTS Disappears From Google After Penalty" width="600" /></center> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;"> </div> </div> </article><div class="entry-tools" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"> <section class="pbx-tags" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-left: 0px;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">credit:torrentfreak</span></section></div>

Utorrent Flagged As ‘HARMFUL’ By Anti-Virus Companies And Google

Several anti-virus vendors have begun blocking uTorrent after identifying the software as malicious or potentially dangerous. In addition, Google Chrome is currently blocking several pages on uTorrent's official website. According to the reports the popular file-sharing application is linked to riskware and trojans.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="Utorrent Flagged As ‘HARMFUL’ By Anti-Virus Companies And Google " height="266" src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/utorrent-logo-new.jpg" title="Utorrent Flagged As ‘HARMFUL’ By Anti-Virus Companies And Google " width="400" /><div> <br /></div> <div> With millions of new downloads per month uTorrent is without doubt the most used BitTorrent client around.<br /><br />The software is the main source of revenue for the San Francisco based company BitTorrent Inc. and generates income through advertisements and bundled software.<br /><br />The latter now appears to be causing trouble as several anti-virus vendors have begun listing uTorrent as a security risk. The scanning result below from VirusTotal shows that at least six anti-virus applications, including ESET and Symantec, have flagged the software as problematic.<br /><br />The anti-virus scans associate the uTorrent.exe file with Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT and the controversial <a href="https://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/adware-and-puas/OpenCandy/detailed-analysis.aspx">OpenCandy</a> bundling software. While this isn’t the first time that uTorrent has been flagged in this manner, we haven’t seen it being reported by this many independent tests before.<br /><br />uTorrent’s Virustotal results<br /><br /><a href="https://torrentfreak.com/images/utorrentvirus.jpg"><img alt="Utorrent Flagged As ‘HARMFUL’ By Anti-Virus Companies And Google " src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/utorrentvirus.jpg" title="Utorrent Flagged As ‘HARMFUL’ By Anti-Virus Companies And Google " /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />In addition to action by the anti-virus companies, uTorrent is also being blocked by Google in several ways. When attempting to download the latest stable release of the torrent client, Chrome flags the software as malicious and <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/images/utmal.jpg">blocks the download</a>, although this only appears to happen sporadically.<br /><br />Google is also actively <a href="http://utclient.utorrent.com/offers/beta_release_notes/release_notes.html">blocking</a> several pages that link to uTorrent and other BitTorrent Inc. software. According <a href="https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Futclient.utorrent.com%2Foffers%2Fbeta_release_notes%2Frelease_notes.html&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US">to Google</a>, parts of the uTorrent website contain “harmful programs.”<br /><br />uTorrent.com warning in Chrome<br /><br /><img alt="Utorrent Flagged As ‘HARMFUL’ By Anti-Virus Companies And Google " src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/utorrentharm.jpg" title="Utorrent Flagged As ‘HARMFUL’ By Anti-Virus Companies And Google " /><br /><br /><br /><br />The same “harmful software” warning from Google <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/chrome-blocks-major-torrent-sites-over-harmful-programs-150710/">also prevented millions of people</a>from accessing popular torrent sites earlier this month.<br /><br />A Google spokesperson informed us that this was the result of the company’s increased efforts to block programs that make “unexpected changes” to people’s computers.<br /><br />“Google Safe Browsing’s ability to detect deceptive software has steadily improved,” the company <a href="http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.nl/2015/07/more-visible-protection-against.html">explained</a> in a recent blog post.<br /><br />“In the coming weeks, these detection improvements will become more noticeable in Chrome: users will see more warnings about unwanted software than ever before,” Google adds.<br /><br />These and the other uTorrent threat reports all seem to be triggered by bundled third-party software bundled. There is no indication or evidence that the BitTorrent client itself is harmful.<br /><br />Update: BitTorrent Inc’s Jordy Berson provided the following comment.<br /><br />“BitTorrent’s products are developed in a secure environment, are securely signed and virus scanned. Our safety record has been consistently good. We are very conservative with partner ads and offers, using a small subset of available offers that are subject to our security and suitability tests.<br /><br />Meanwhile, security vendors and browser security teams have the difficult task of tuning their heuristics and their block lists to catch offenders without implicating harmless software. The increase in false positives in recent months is a result of security companies becoming more aggressive with their tuning in the category of “potentially unwanted programs.” The issue is not unique to uTorrent, and we and other desktop software companies report false positives when they are spotted, with excellent cooperation from most security vendors.<br /><br />We have stated this to our users for some time in the <a href="http://help.utorrent.com/customer/portal/articles/2054417-antivirus-detecting-torrent-install-as-malware">support section of our Web site</a>, located here.”</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">credit:torrentfreak</span></div>

Most Aussie Pirates Are The Industry’s Best Customers

A survey commission by the Australian government has found that more than a quarter of all local Internet users consume content illegally online. Interestingly, while 7% of the population were found to be hardcore pirates who spend nothing on legitimate content, those who pirate and also buy legally are the industry's best customers.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="Most Aussie Pirates Are The Industry’s Best Customers " height="400" src="https://torrentfreak.com/images/spongepirate.jpg" title="Most Aussie Pirates Are The Industry’s Best Customers " width="326" /><div> <br /></div> <div> As Australia continues to grapple with its online piracy problem, a new report commissioned by the office of Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has revealed both the scale of the problem and an interesting twist.<br /><br />Carried out in conjunction with the UK government and executed by TNS Global, the survey of 2630 people found that 26% of the population aged 12 years and up – 5.2 million people – had consumed illegal content online during the first three months of 2015.<br /><br />That doesn’t mean that one in four Aussies never put their money in their pockets though. The survey found that just 7% of the population are hardcore pirates who never pay for anything and only consume illegal content. Other pirates buy legitimate content to some extent.<br /><br />When drilling down further, however, the figures appear to worsen. Of all Internet users over 12 who also consumed media content in the first quarter of 2015, 43% said they had done so illegally. Movies proved the most popular among pirates, with 48% saying they had obtained them online without permission. Music came in second place with 37%, while TV shows (33%) and video games (22%) took up the third and fourth slots.<br /><br />In terms of piracy volumes, the survey found that music was the most-download content with an estimated 254 million tracks obtained in the first quarter of 2015. Around 95 million movies, 82 million TV shows and 9 million video games add to the total.<br /><br />On average, Aussie pirates downloaded or streamed around 16 items of content each in the first three months of the year, with music proving the most popular by file volume followed by TV, movies and video games.<br /><br />When looking at overall consumption of digital content, around 66% of movies were obtained illegally versus 36% of TV shows. Music tracks and video games were neck-and-neck with 30% and 29% respectively.<br /><br />When it comes to methods for obtaining unauthorized content the survey results present a slightly confused picture.<br /><br />“Infringers were far more likely than non-infringers to use peer-to-peer methods,<br />in the form of BitTorrent software (26%), uTorrent (28%) and Pirate Bay (19%),<br />whereas 5% or less of non-infringers said they had used these services,” the survey notes.<br /><br />Of course, uTorrent is BitTorrent software and the Pirate Bay requires the use of BitTorrent software in order to function. But in any event, it appears that BitTorrent methods are more popular with those who obtain content illegally than those who do not.<br /><br />But perhaps the biggest question is what motivates these individuals to pirate.<br /><br />Among all pirates, 55% said they consume content illegally because it’s free and a sizable 51% cited ease of access and convenience as a primary motivator. Speed was a factor among 45% of respondents, with 21% noting that they did not wish to wait for content to become available locally.<br /><br />Interestingly, among pirates who said they never buy any content, 27% said they download illegally in order to “try before they buy”. Among those who consume legal and illegal content, that figure jumps to 38%.<br /><br />So what might cause pirates to change their ways?<br /><br />Perhaps unsurprisingly almost four out of ten infringers said cheaper prices on legal services would help. However, the next most popular responses were all about availability. If all content was made available legally that would help 38% of infringers to change their ways while 36% said that timely availability of content when compared to the rest of the world would be a good motivator.<br /><br />Yet another sign that better legal services are the key to reducing infringement came with pirates’ assessment of <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/aussie-isps-advocate-three-strikes-solution-to-piracy-150220/">various measures</a> the government and rightsholders have lined up to tackle infringement.<br /><br />Nearly a quarter of infringers said that the thought of being sued might help them change their ways while just 17% felt that a letter from their ISP could deter them from further piracy. Although not currently on the agenda, 21% said that Internet suspensions might prove effective.<br /><br />Interestingly, when asked if anything at all could stop them pirating, just 5% of all infringers said nothing could, rising to 10% among hardcore “buy nothing” pirates.<br /><br />Finally, the survey provides yet another timely reminder that branding all pirates as enemies of the entertainment industries is a very bad idea. When looking at four content types – movies, TV shows, music and video games – the survey found that those who consumed a mix of legal and illegal content SPENT MORE on legal content than those who only consume content illegally.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">credit:torrentfreak</span></div>
