BLACKBERRY IS PINNING its hopes of an unheralded comeback on licensed handsets and a fledgling security consultancy, the company has told PC Pro. The one-time market leader in business handsets lost its way when touchscreens transformed the smartphone market, but it claims a new business model will revitalise the range of BlackBerry phones, while the company looks to build a new business based on its reputation for corporate security. The company says it still sees growth potential for BlackBerry-branded phones, although it won’t be building them itself. “We continue to have a handset business, but my handset business is changing a little bit now,” BlackBerry CEO John Chen told PC Pro. “Now BlackBerry will be licensing to other people, and we still have a strong hand in the portfolio, and…

Not so Excel-lent idea I really hope Microsoft ignores Jon Honeyball’s plea (see issue 269, p110) to change Excel’s default behaviour for long text entries in a worksheet cell. As far as I can remember, spilling this into the adjacent cell - if empty - has always been the case and surely can’t be described as a bug. I prefer this default behaviour and often make use of it in formatting my worksheets. As I’m sure Jon is aware, there are many ways to avoid problems with this behaviour and placing an apostrophe in adjacent cells must be one of the worst! The easiest way must be to format the cells to wrap. OK, you may want to reset the row height, but surely this isn’t a problem, especially as…

The NHS is undoubtedly in crisis. One in ten GP practices now regard themselves as being financially unsustainable, according to the British Medical Association; hospitals are “close to breaking point”, the same organisation warns; and estimates for the funding shortfall facing the entire service range from the tens to the hundreds of billions. In 1948, political momentum, “big enough data” and “good enough technologies” turned three simple principles into a world-revered health system. Those principles were a national health service that met the needs of everyone, was free at the point of delivery, and based on clinical need, not ability to pay. But with an ageing population and proportionally fewer people chipping into the pot, those three principles are under severe threat. Can anything save the NHS? Politicians seem long…

1 Download the Lazesoft Recovery Suite Media Builder from pcpro.link/270lazesoft. Run it and you’ll be presented with the window to the right: click the Data Recovery icon, and your disk will be scanned for deleted files. For now, though, we just want to create a bootable disk, so click the large Burn CD/USB Disk icon at the top of the window. 2 In the window that opens, you’ll be asked to specify the Windows version of the target computer. If you don’t specify this, the software will assume whatever version of Windows is running on that PC. If you want to create a generic bootable disk, we suggest you select Windows 8.1: this supports all the latest boot and disk technologies found in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. 3 Now…

PRICE $499 from getfreewrite.com Set Your Story Free, the Freewrite typewriter tells me, beneath a stylised illustration of Edgar Allen Poe. The command gives a clue to the purpose of this backwardsfacing piece of technology – a device that intentionally eschews the digital in favour of a design that emphasises clunky keys and sturdy physical levers. As I write this very review, the text appears on a small rectangular screen embedded into the typewriter, in E Ink. That makes it usable outside even in sunlight, with the promise of “weeks of battery life”, while a frontlight means it’s possible to use in the dark too. The words I type now are automatically uploaded to my account, but – just like a typewriter – there’s no means to go back and…

PRICE £10,208 (£12,250 inc VAT) from lenovo.com/uk The Lenovo ThinkStation P910 may be twice the price of anything else in this Labs, but it’s also in a different league when it comes to performance. That’s due to a dual-socket motherboard, twin Xeon processors and the most expensive graphics card currently available – the latter alone is responsible for nearly half the cost. While most of this month’s workstations have been integrated into high quality but generic chassis, Lenovo is big enough to design its own entirely bespoke cases. And what a job it’s done: you can remove almost every component by just pulling the correct combination of clips or levers. The M.2 storage caddies unclip and slide out, and even the PCI Express adapter cards and fans can be released…

Content creation workstations people want to consume, and in 2016 a new content form emerged from the hype: virtual reality (VR). Well, I say emerged, but in fact it’s more like a resurgence, because VR has been a focus of interest at least a couple of times before. The VR head-mounted display concept was first demonstrated by Ivan Sutherland with his Sword of Damocles back in 1968, and there was another surge of interest again in the early 1990s. But the technology wasn’t mature in either cases. The graphics were too blocky and response to head motion too delayed for VR to be more than a novelty. Nevertheless, the concept of total visual immersion never failed, in the same way that 3D cinema keeps coming and going. It has always…

PRICE £1,666 (£1,999 inc VAT) from pcspecialist.co.uk We can see why PC Specialist didn’t call this workstation Jack. While most of this month’s systems are just as well suited to rendering as they are to modelling, the PC Specialist Eric is more one sided. Thanks to the choice of a quadcore Intel Skylake processor, albeit a fast one, this system is better suited to tasks where clock frequency and graphics are primary factors, rather than core count. The processor in question is an Intel Core i7-6700K. This runs at a nominal 4GHz, but PC Specialist has permanently set the clock to 4.6GHz to get the best out of its capabilities, with Hyper-Threading on hand to present the four physical cores as eight virtual ones. It pairs it up with 32GB…

Practical buying and strategic advice for IT managers and decision makers Surveillance is a controversial subject, but when it comes to protecting your business there’s no debate: physical security is just as important as keeping your digital assets safe, and security cameras provide a great benefit. Part of that benefit is in deterring incidents: an opportunist thief, or an untrustworthy employee, will think twice about crossing the line if they know they’re being watched. If a crime does take place, footage can provide evidence in investigations. Cameras are essential for businesses handling cash on their premises. And since cameras are now within reach of the smallest business, there’s intense competition at the lower end of this market – meaning prices for even quite sophisticated surveillance solutions are at an all-time…

PRICE £180 exc VAT from solwise.co.uk Measuring just 65mm in diameter and 96mm tall, the EnGenius EDS6255 is small enough to provide discreet surveillance. With night vision and wireless network support, it’s well equipped, and it’s quite a bit cheaper than the Axis M1065-LW. The kit includes a circular plastic mounting bracket and a set of clips for hanging it from the T-rails of a suspended ceiling. The orientation of the lens can be easily adjusted via a small screw in the side of the camera body, with a tool that’s handily secreted in a slot below. On the other side is a rubber cover for the microSD card slot and reset button. We had no problems powering the camera via the lab’s HPE ProCurve 2626-PWR PoE switch – although…

PRICE £928 exc VAT from broadbandbuyer.co.uk Netgear is a high flyer in the SMB network switch market, offering an unbeatable combination of features and value. Its new XS716E aims to cement that position, bringing fuss-free 10-Gigabit (10GbE) switching within reach of any small businesses. The proposition makes a lot of sense: with so many servers and NAS appliances now 10GbE-ready, it’s an instant and easy way to expand network bandwidth and remove bottlenecks to critical applications. Positioned at the lower end of Netgear’s Smart Managed switch portfolio, the XS716E has 16 fixed 10GBase-T ports, plus a single SFP+ fibre port. The latter is dual personality, sharing its link to the backplane with the sixteenth copper port, so you can’t use both at the same time. Don’t get this switch confused…

Not Bad Santa. On this occasion I was working with two file systems that, on the surface, are much later developments than Windows NTFS. One was VMware’s VMFS, controlling the basic disks that added together made my Windows VM’s mirror. The other was the quite opaque and achingly under-documented file system inside a Synology NAS box. Neither of them quite like to behave the way we’ve become unconsciously used to when dealing with Windows, especially when it comes to error messages. When hacking into a misbehaving VMware server, you have five ways to link with the storage subsystem. You can use the basic vSphere GUI client; the web client; VMware vCenter; the vSphere management assistant; or PowerShell with the VIX extensions. The list is almost overwhelming, but the problem is…

When Intel released its seventh-generation Core processor range in January, many were left unimpressed by the performance of its top-end desktop processors. Kaby Lake, Intel’s codename for the range, provided a significant boost for mobile devices, but the desktop risks being left to fester, despite Intel’s assurances to the contrary and the re-emergence of AMD as a force in the CPU market. “We know performance matters,” said Intel’s client computing vice president, Navin Shenoy, talking about the latest generation of chips. “It’s why we continue to focus on improved performance, delivering double-digit productivity performance increases – up to 20% for performance and gaming notebooks and 25% for desktops.” Yet most third-party benchmarks published to date have found that the high-end processors are not significantly faster than existing CPUs, especially if…

KEYFACTS LoopUp aims to give “a better meeting experience” without user training but using traditional telecoms LOCATION London and San Francisco FOUNDED 2006 EMPLOYEES 120 WEBSITE loopup.com When you’re interviewing the CEO of a remote meetings company, you expect absolutely nothing to go wrong with the conference call. Yet we’re ten seconds into my call with LoopUp, barely past the pleasantries, and it’s gone pear-shaped. “Did you, by chance, use our dial-in numbers, Barry?” How does Steve Flavell know I’ve dialled directly into the conference, rather than enter my phone number and have LoopUp call me back, as his software urged me to do? Because when I’m talking, I’m not showing up as the active speaker on his screen – just one of the many advanced conference-call features that has…

Imagine visiting your doctor and, instead of leaving with a prescription, you come out with a small device implanted in your body and a new app on your phone. No more worrying about what time you must take a pill – all you need do is let technology take its course. As implausible as it sounds, this day may not be too far away. This is the promise of bioelectronic medicine – a field where our nervous system is treated like a hackable, electrical infrastructure. It’s an area of study that asks: what if, instead of using drugs to treat a condition, implants could control and tweak our bodies? What if, somewhere down the line, you could combat a tumour by harnessing your own neural signals? HACKING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM…

Doubtless, you’re familiar with that heart-sinking feeling when you realise, too late, that your diligent housekeeping has accidentally consigned your accounts, holiday photos or unfinished novel to history. But you’ll also know that deleted information isn’t always gone for good. Can your data be rescued? The answer is: it depends. A multitude of factors, including your file system, the media on which it was stored and how long it is since the file was deleted will determine what can be recovered. Over the next three pages, we look at the various options, tools and techniques that will give you the best chance of getting back your lost work. Sadly, though, we can’t offer any guarantees: this is one area in which the computing gods might not be on your side.…

Total value this month £165 Cyber Link PhotoDirector 7 Deluxe Full version worth £50 cyberlink.com PHOTODIRECTOR IS A powerful tool for organising, improving and sharing your photos, combining a full photo-library management suite with extensive but easy-to-use editing tools. It has a wealth of options for tagging faces, excluding duplicates and more at the point of import. And its adjustment module gives you both manual and automatic tweaks for colour, white balance, tone, sharpness and more. See our tutorial on p52 for details of how it can help you bring out the best in your shots. If you need to take things further, custom tools make it easy to apply specific edits: the people beautifier whitens teeth, removes wrinkles, and even lets you trim your subject’s body shape.

“With an average Delta E of 0.8, photo editors can be confident that what they see onscreen will be a close match to real-world prints” PRICE £341 (£410 inc VAT) from amazon.co.uk There’s no doubt who AOC is targeting with its new AGON line of monitors. The AG271QX is the first we’ve seen from the range, and with its aggressive red-andblack design, it would make a fine complement to a gaming-focused case such as the Cooler Master MasterCase 550t (see p46). Running 144Hz at 1440p, this 27in monitor has a lot to offer beyond looks, too. It’s stacked with features, one of which will interest owners of AMD-powered graphics cards: the inclusion of AMD FreeSync. This will synchronise the monitor’s refresh rate with your AMD GPU’s output, providing tear-free gaming.…

We wanted to give the broadest advice, so we used a wide variety of software for testing. PC Pro’s benchmark suite assesses image processing and video encoding abilities, and then multitasking, which are combined into an overall score, giving an indication of ability in these content creation tasks, as well as general activities (see p91 for the results). On top of this, we added tests specifically aimed at higher-end workstation tasks. To test 3D modelling in all the main content types, we added SPECviewperf 12.1, which runs OpenGL (and one Direct3D) viewsets based on a number of popular 3D content creation, engineering and medical applications, including Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya, and Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks. Maxon Cinebench R15 also contains an OpenGL modelling test, alongside a highly multithreaded 3D rendering…

PRICE £3,958 (£4,750 inc VAT) from scan.co.uk/3xs At first glance, the Scan 3XS Classic 3D isn’t particularly unusual. Yet another black full tower chassis, yet another Core i7, yet another Nvidia card. But it manages to edge ahead of its competitors thanks to generous pricing, especially when compared to this month’s similarly specified alternatives Scan hasn’t been as aggressive as some this month when it comes to frequency-enhancing its processor. The Intel Core i7-6950X is set to 4GHz rather than its nominal 3GHz, while others opted for 4.2GHz. But that’s still a good boost, and with ten cores on hand there’s plenty of processing power available. The processor isn’t cooled by a water system, but by a Noctua NH-U14S sink and fan, which is nearly inaudible and very good at…

PRICE £4,417 (£5,300 inc VAT) from chillblast.com Chillblast has followed this month’s of a full-sized black tower containing an Intel Core i7-6950X processor alongside Nvidia Quadro P5000 graphics. However, unlike other manufacturers offering this specification, Chillblast hasn’t shipped the processor overclocked. Instead, it runs at its nominal 3GHz with 3.5GHz Turbo mode. If customers want to order it overclocked, though, then Chillblast is happy to do so at no extra charge With ten cores and Hyper-Threading, the rendering power on offer remains considerable. Chillblast allies the Core i7 with 64GB of 3GHz DDR4 SDRAM, providing a good platform for the Nvidia Quadro P5000 graphics. The latter is a powerful choice, with 2,560 CUDA cores and 16GB of superfast GDDR5X memory. The storage provision is reasonably generous, with a 512GB SSD…

PRICE £299 exc VAT from networkwebcams.co.uk Hikvision’s Darkfighter is an IP camera for all seasons. This big 2-megapixel bullet camera has an IP67 rating, indicating that it’s dust-tight and able to survive even the heaviest rainstorm. As the name implies, it’s also designed to work even in very low light conditions. This is no idle claim. We found the Darkfighter served up colour footage at light levels that would normally see a camera such as this switch to black-and-white infrared mode. From our outdoor test location, it delivered full colour images well after dusk, with only street lights to work with. This wouldn’t be useful if the images themselves were blurry and indistinct, but we found the live view was sharply focused, with excellent colour balance and contrast. This quality…

PRICE £169 exc VAT from.ebuyer.com Centralised wireless network management has historically been a significant business expense – but nowadays many vendors are simply giving it away. For small businesses, TP-Link’s Auranet EAP330 access point offers the best of both worlds: buy it as a standalone AP, and when the time comes to expand, add additional units and manage them all with TP-Link’s free EAP Controller software. The EAP330 is packed with business-class features. It’s an AC1900 AP with support for concurrent 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, sporting three internal omni-directional aerials for each band. Lurking under the solid metal casing you’ll also find two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one of which supports 802.11af PoE and 802.11at PoE+. We were pleased to see that, on first contact, the AP’s web console immediately asked…

You might not immediately recognise the name “G Suite”, but you’ll certainly know its component parts. G Suite users get access to Google Docs, Sheets and Slides; email is handled by Gmail; and cloud storage by Google Drive. For real-time chat and conferencing, there’s Google Hangouts. Essentially, it’s a centralised, manageable gateway to Google’s familiar services – a package that, until late last year, was called Google Apps. The suite comes in a variety of tiers. G Suite Basic provides access to the standard services, but G Suite Business will be the right choice in most cases: it adds useful features such as long-term email retention, unlimited storage for users and data auditing. Whichever you choose, it’s designed to be as easy as possible to deploy, with none of the…

Fewer than 600 people have been to space, but that’s surely set to change: the advent of commercial space travel is now tantalisingly close. Space Nation wants to kickstart the shift from professional astronauts with science and engineering skills to Joe Public – and to help, it’s built an app. So I can download an app that will fire me into space? Not quite. Download Space Nation’s app, and you’ll be given a series of games to test if you have the required qualities to be an astronaut. If you shoot to the top of the rankings, you have a chance to take part in real-life, in-person astronaut training. What happens if I top the charts? If you manage to top the leader board in the app phase, it’s time…

BROADBAND SUBSCRIBERS WHO suffer with worse-than-expected connection speeds have a new weapon when trying to escape from their contract. The Downstream Handback Threshold – a new measure on BT Wholesale’s line checker (pcpro. link/270check) – identifies whether a customer’s connection is in the worst 10% for performance, the threshold by which customers must be released from their contract without charge. It’s a response to Ofcom regulations that aim to provide consumers with more information about the “minimum guaranteed access line speed” when signing a contract, but also has benefits if customers find speeds are far below what they expected. Ofcom introduced regulations that allowed customers to break their contract if their speeds fall below the threshold more than five years ago, but until now that information has been privy only…

As a more tech-literate audience, we were expecting a fair number of you would use a VPN to browse, but the fact 74% of respondents said “yes” was a surprise. Motives varied, with 27% using a VPN to access content that’s otherwise not available in the UK, but the vast majority – 94% – did so to keep their browsing activity private. “The [Investigatory Powers] Act has made me pause before browsing (even though I’m not committing any crime),” wrote Andrew. “I’m sure any excerpts from any browsing history could be made to look suspicious.” “This act definitely made me more cautious,” said Furqan Tafseer, “but I started using VPN six months before the act came out, after reading and knowing more about online privacy!” Some people felt more relaxed.…

If there’s a capital of weirdness, it’s Las Vegas. This makes it the natural home for CES, the world’s biggest technology show, because it’s also an oddity: a show that gets bigger every year, at a time when trade shows seem to be losing relevance. Maybe this is because CES has never stood still and has, over 50 years, reinvented itself many times. CES 2017 feels like a herald of change. A few years ago, what we call “computer” technology dominated; now CES reflects that technology is everywhere and in everything. From talking cars to sensors capable of making anything “smart”, it covers every kind of technical endeavour. EVERYTHING IS SMART Think of a man-made object and someone, somewhere, is making a “smart” version. Smart beds capable of sensing when…

If the data you’re recovering doesn’t reside on your boot disk, then things are a little easier. As long as no applications are writing to the drive from which you want to recover files, you can safely perform the data recovery operation inside Windows itself. As to which tool you use, there are a number of options. A popular package is Piriform’s Recuva (recuva.com), which is completely free and can be run in a “portable” mode that doesn’t require installation to your hard disk (see overleaf). Another good commercial option is Disk Drill: it’s available for both Windows and Mac from cleverfiles.com, and can recover lost files not only from Windows drives, but from Mac format disks and Linux (EXT3/4) formatted drives. The free version will only recover up to…

PRICE £3,897 (£4,676 inc VAT) from armari.com The Armari Magnetar V25 Pro is unusual in this month’s Labs in lots of ways. For a start, the chassis is blue, where every other workstation on test is black. It’s also tiny, more like the kind of pizza box size you might expect gracing a reception desk rather than a content creation studio. But stuffed inside this tiny case is a powerful eight-core processor and two graphics cards. So this is still a potent machine. The Magnetar V25 Pro, in the specification sent to us, is specifically aimed at creating VR (see Back to virtual reality, p86). Nestled in the base of the unit is a breakout box for an HTC Vive headset, although this is also compatible with Oculus Rift. Note…

PRICE £4,916 (£5,899 inc VAT) from workstationspecialists.com Like Armari, Workstation Specialists opts for a small form factor chassis packed with potent hardware. But Workstation Specialists has taken a more conventional approach to its specification, essentially shoehorning what other manufacturers put in a standard black tower into a case that could easily be mistaken for an unassuming NAS device. So the WS-X1100S might be small, but it still packs in a phenomenal amount of powerful hardware. It shares the same tiny ASRock X99EITX/ac motherboard as Armari, offering support for processors up to the 22-core Intel Xeon E5 v4, but Workstation Specialists opts for the current top Core i7-6950X instead. This is nominally a 3.5GHz ten-core processor, but the company permanently sets the frequency to 4.2GHz. There’s 32GB of 2.67GHz DDR4 SDRAM…

PRICE £4,695 (£5,634 inc VAT) from ipworkstations.com The InterPro IPW-BWE is another full-sized tower system based around the ten-core Intel Core i7-6950X, overclocked to 4.2GHz in this case, which is kept at bay by Corsair H100i water cooling. The processor is backed by a reassuring 64GB of 2.4GHz DDR4 SDRAM in four DIMM modules, with four more slots free for upgrade when required. InterPro matches many other manufacturers this month with graphics, too, partnering the top-end processor with a similarly capable Nvidia Quadro P5000 graphics card. This is the new ultra-high-end option from Nvidia, replacing the M5000 and trouncing its predecessor for frame buffer with 16GB of GDDR5X memory and a whopping 2,540 CUDA cores. Storage ticks the right boxes, too, with a 1TB Samsung SM961 NVMe PCI Express M.2…

James Morris is a workstation expert and course leader in web media at Ravensbourne For the past couple of years, Nvidia has managed to keep ahead of AMD in professional graphics. The Quadro range from Nvidia has leapt a couple of iterations in front of the AMD FirePros, so that few workstation manufacturers have been opting for the latter over the past 12 months. However, this Labs has arrived as both AMD and Nvidia have released their next generations, and interestingly they’re currently not going head to head. Nvidia’s new Pascal-based P5000 and P6000 offerings, both of which are in this month’s test, are high end and powerful. The P6000 will set you back north of £5,000 inc VAT and the P5000 around £2,000. For the time being, however, there…

PRICE £162 exc VAT from ebuyer.com The DCS-4602EV, a member of D-Link’s Vigilance professional surveillance family, is designed to go where other IP cameras fear to tread. Its IP66 rating makes it fully weatherproof against dust storms and heavy jets of water, and its solid metal casing and polycarbonate dome have an IK10 external mechanical impact rating – the highest – meaning it can stand up to a physical battering too. The DCS-4602EV is based on a 2MP CMOS with a top resolution of 1080p. Moreover, it features 15 infrared LED illuminators circling its lens, which D-Link claims will deliver night vision at a range of up to 20m – something our tests bore out. The camera only supports wired connections, and the expectation is that you’ll be driving it…

We’re seriously considering disabling Windows Update. It gets in the way, and the fixes never seem to affect the functions we use. This is not an uncommon attitude. Business owners who are in the habit of striking deals with suppliers and partners often expect they can do the same with their IT provisions. But updates aren’t something you can negotiate with. Even if external threats don’t worry you,the minute you want support from a vendor or supplier, you’ll need to show your systems are up to date – or you may find yourself high and dry. This might be a shock to the system for those who cut their teeth in the more laissez-faire world of Windows XP, but it’s the world we live in now. If that seems excessive,…

Two-thirds of UK businesses have been victims of a cyber-attack over the past 12 months. Figures released in June 2016 by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) highlighted a serious and persistent threat, with a quarter of all large firms that had experienced a breach being attacked at least once a month. “Everyone from Talk Talk to Sony and Ashley Madison have hit the headlines after suffering some form of cyber-attack,” said the Association of British Insurers’ Malcolm Tarling. “It used to be the province of large multinationals but small businesses are equally vulnerable to this type of crime and much less resourced to tackle it. In some cases, it could threaten their very existence.” Falling victim to cyber-attack will never have a positive outcome, but the one…

There’s another way to speed up processing power that has nothing to do with chips: inmemory processing. “It’s based on the idea that it’s quicker to access data stored in RAM than on a hard disk, and has become more widespread in recent years as the cost of RAM has decreased and as 64-bit CPUs have become the norm,” said UWE’s Philip Thomas. That’s the idea behind HPE’s The Machine, an attempt at memory-driven computing. “In today’s computers, memory and processing are entirely separate, and as much as 90% of the work is devoted to moving information between tiers of memory and storage,” said HPE spokesperson Patrik Edlund. “HPE believes that only by redesigning the computer from the ground up – with memory at the centre – will we be…

Tim Peake brought pride to all of Britain with his six-month stint aboard the International Space Station, but you can forgive Chichester’s Novium Museum for being a little more enthusiastic than most – he grew up in the West Sussex town, after all. The Novium is celebrating his astronomic achievement with a dedicated exhibition, which Peake’s own parents helped organise. “Tim’s journey from Chichester schoolboy to astronaut has been really inspirational to people of all ages, and as the museum in his home city, it wanted to do something to celebrate his remarkable achievements,” said Cathy Hawkes, museum manager. His parents donated one of the key exhibits, the blue flight suit Peake wore to enter the ISS, and Hawkes noted that “it’s amazing to think that this clothing has actually…
