How secure is your mobile phone? Beyond the Android vs iPhone debate, what are your options for providing better smartphone security for yourself or your company? Mobile devices have become both integral and ubiquitous in everyone's lives, and so they have attracted the interest of criminal hackers eager to steal your vital information. Here are a few tips to help you protect yourself. Three Layers of Security As  InfoWorld  notes, all smartphones have three basic elements of security. Your first major task as a mobile user is to become aware of these layers and enable them in your devices: Device Protection: Allowing remote data "wiping" if your device is ever lost or stolen.

The emotional roller coaster that is Twitter’s future seems to have hit a new low today as Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff  tells the  Financial Times   his company has “walked away” from making a bid to buy it. If you’re keeping track, that’s now... pretty much everyone who’s said they’re not interested in buying Twitter.  Neither Google nor Disney plan to bid on Twitter , despite reports saying both were interested.  Recode  says  that Apple is likely also out of the picture. And Verizon immediately  dismissed speculation  that it was considering a bid. Facebook is also said to be uninterested,  according to CNBC .

The Federal Aviation Administration  officially banned Galaxy Note 7s from being brought onto airplanes  earlier this week, and under a new Emergency Restriction / Prohibition Order, it’s now a federal crime to fly with the device. The FAA issued  Emergency Restriction/Prohibition Order No. FAA-2016- 9288  on Friday, which states that as of noon on October 15, fliers are prohibited from bringing the device onto an aircraft. The order restricts passengers from carrying the phone "on their person, in carry-on baggage, in checked baggage, or as cargo," and says that anyone who inadvertently brings one on a plane must power it down immediately. Carriers are also required to "deny boarding to a passenger in possession" of the phone. Passengers who bring a Note 7 onto a plane are "subject to civil penalties of up to $179,933 for each violation for each day they are found to be in violation (49 U.S.C. 5123)," and could be prosecuted, which could "resul...

TORONTO: People who use the  internet  excessively may have more mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, a new study has claimed. Using two scales to evaluate internet use, researchers from McMaster University in Canada found high rates of problematic internet use in a group of primarily college-aged students. They evaluated internet addiction using the Internet Addiction Test, as well as newer scale of their own design, based on updated addiction criteria. The study may have implications for how psychiatrists approach excessive internet use, researchers said. The unstoppable rise of the internet has given rise to fears that increasing numbers people are becoming unable to cope without regularly going  online . The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) is the standard test used to measure excessive reliance on the internet. "The IAT was developed in 1998, prior to the widespread use of smartphone technology . In addition, internet use has changed radi...
