The Startup Landscape For Cybersecurity Companies In Israel


There are more than 300 cybersecurity companies operating in Israel, making it an industry second only to the U.S. in size.

Poll results: Note5 wins our first 5.7" three-way fight


We concluded last week’s three-way shootout with a question which one of the smartphones you liked best, and the results are in. The Nexus 6P, LG V10 and Samsung Galaxy Note5 put up quite a fight, much like they did in the shootout itself, but Samsung’s phablet emerged victorious.


Gathering 42% of readers’ votes, the Note5 had a comfortable advantage over the other two. For all the V10’s strong points, not limited to its camera and build, and the Nexus 6P stock Android appeal, the Note5 is arguably the most well rounded of the bunch, hence the overall win.


The battle for the silver was a much closer one. Only 2% split the V10 and the 6P and for a while there it could have gone either way. Eventually though, LG’s phablet edged ahead.

The heart rate monitors on the Fitbit Charge HR and Fitbit Surge are accurate, says Consumer Reports


Earlier this year, a class-action lawsuit was filed by owners of the Fitbit Charge HR and Fitbit Surge.

The magazine decided that it would behoove them to repeat the testing. And you want to know what changed? Absolutely … – Source
