Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 821 chipset, ups performance by 10%
Today Qualcomm announced a new flagship chipset – the Snapdragon 821. And before anyone jumps to conclusions, Qualcomm wants every Snapdragon 820-powered device owner to rest assured the new addition is a complement to the flagship lineup and not a replacement.
Indeed, the highlight of the Snapdragon 821 chip is the 10% performance hike over the Snapdragon 820. The processor remains a quad-core Kryo, but it can go as high as 2.4GHz, an increase from the previous maximum of 2.15GHz. The Adreno 530 should stay the same, but use a slightly higher clock.
The quad-core processor of…

How the gurus behind Google Earth created 'Pokémon Go'
If you spotted dozens of people silently congregating in parks and train stations over the weekend, they were probably just busy trying to catch a Pidgeotto.
Niantic’s Pokémon Go, the augmented reality mobile game, has become a global phenomenon since it launched Wednesday in Australia before rolling out in the U.S. The game requires players to explore the real world to find Pokémon, collect items at Pokéstops and conquer gyms, and a lot of work has gone into the game’s mapping.

The much-anticipated Season 2 premiere of Mr. Robot made a surprise appearance on Sunday in the most unlikely place: Twitter.

CISSP certification: Are multiple choice tests the best way to hire infosec pros?
(credit: Getty Images)
Want a job in infosec? Your first task: hacking your way through what many call the “HR firewall” by adding a CISSP certification to your resume.
Job listings for security roles often list the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) or other cybersecurity certifications, such as those offered by SANS, CompTIA, and Cisco, as a requirement. This is especially true in the enterprise space, including banks, insurance companies, and FTSE 100 corporations. But at a time when the demand for good infosec people sees companies outbidding each other to hire top talent, and ominous studies warn of a looming cybersecurity skills shortage, experts are questioning whether certifications based on multiple choice tests are really the best way to recruit the right people.
“I give that bit of advice to listeners who ask me for career advice to get their foot in the door,” Jerry Bell, who runs the Defensive Security podcast and leads the internal security strategy team for a large global IT services company, told Ars. “Indeed [I do] describe it as getting through the ‘HR firewall.’ So, I suspect this is common advice given and used by many people.”
