The most prolific ransomware strains this year were Troldesh / Crysis and GlobeImposter....

The company clearly isn’t happy sharing the spotlight though, and the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are its attempt to settle things once and for all – well, until the next pair of Sonys come out, that is. I’ve been using the Headphones 700 for the last few weeks, and while I’m not quite convinced that Bose is the knock-out winner, these certainly make the Sonys fight until the final bell....

Bullguard IS 2014 includes all the core security software modules, with anti-virus, firewall, spam filter, safe browsing and parental control, but adds in a vulnerability scanner, tune-up and online back-up, which are unusual in a suite that’s not the top product in its range – Bullguard’s top-end product is Premium Protection. The interface has had a revamp; a clean look largely for the better, but with one oddity. Each of the main modules in the suite is assigned a small control panel within the home screen, but that screen isn’t quite wide enough to show all nine at once....

Epson has been one of the few manufacturers to challenge that status quo in recent years, with its EcoTank range of printers. The up-front cost of the EcoTank printers is quite high when compared to conventional inkjet printers – and they might seem too expensive for home users who only need to use their printer every now and then – but the EcoTank printers do away with ink cartridges altogether and replace them with large ink tanks that are built into the body of the printer....

The latest Intel processors in 2014 are still codenamed Haswell, and mainstream CPUs for desktop PCs such as the Core i5-4690 and Core i7-4790 received a welcome – if somewhat unexciting – 100-200MHz speed increase this year. However, updated versions of the unlocked K-suffix chips were nowhere to be seen. Those chips have now arrived, with the new codename of Devil’s Canyon used to separate them from the regulation fixed-speed versions....
