| Microsoft releases its first Nokia ad with the tagline ‘Not Like Everybody Else’ Posted: 28 Apr 2014 03:50 AM PDT  Nokia's devices and services unit is now owned by Microsoft and to celebrate the company has released a new advert on YouTube. Sporting the tagline 'Not Like Everybody Else', it uses a track by English rock band The Kinks to highlight Nokia's expertise in industrial design. In a street drained of color, one brightly dressed pedestrian grabs his yellow Lumia 1020, adorns a matching pair of headphones and strolls down the road – causing passersby to be paralyzed by sheer shock and awe. It's a slick advert that embraces the position of the Windows Phone platform. Microsoft's mobile OS is...

| Cyber Europe 2014 kicks off today to test EU’s readiness for cyber threats Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:17 AM PDT The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) will today be running a series of simulations to test European nations' preparedness for cyber attacks and threats to critical national infrastructure. In total more than 200 different organizations and 400 cyber-security professionals will take part in the Cyber Europe 2014 simulation involving 29 different countries. As in previous years, the simulation today calls upon participants to attempt to mitigate and resolve highly technical cyber-security attacks, including "scenarios which could impact the confidentiality, integrity or availability of sensitive information or critical infrastructures". While this is the third such test (the... This story continues at The Next Web This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| The perfect iOS email app finally exists, but we wish it wasn’t free Posted: 27 Apr 2014 05:00 AM PDT  I hate email. The team at The Next Web can attest to just how often I complain about email. Email is slow, cumbersome, often overwhelming and hard to deal with. There's just so much of it. I've always been bad at email and despite great solutions like Mailbox existing, I've never found the perfect iOS email client. Up until recently, I've been using the built-in iOS email client to get mail from my four Gmail accounts, mostly because the Gmail app lacks a unified inbox (it's also pretty slow) and Mailbox, while useful, lacks a desktop app (there's a beta coming soon) which...
