We've heard about the big stuff. Here are my favorite little features hiding away in iOS 9. We're a month away from iOS 9's public beta and still a few months from any sort of release, but Apple's already teased a ton of information about the iPhone and iPad's next major operating system. And, like I do just about every year, I've compiled a collection of my favorite tiny features you may not have heard about yet, thanks to the onslaught of info. Spoiler: There's a lot. 1. Settings gets a search option! I can't remember how long I've wanted to search in the Settings app, but it's been a long, long time. And soon, all my wildest dreams will come true: I'l…

In the last several releases of Windows, we’ve been working hard to make the platform much more powerful for administrators, developers, and power users alike. PowerShell is an incredibly useful and powerful language for managing Windows domains. Unfortunately, attackers can take advantage of these same properties when performing “post-exploitation” activities (actions that are performed after a system has been compromised).

When Apple unveiled Metal for OS X at the 2015 WWDC keynote, I wasn't very impressed. Metal, Apple's optimized set of 3D tools for developers, first showed up on iOS last year in the form of a particularly beautiful Unreal Engine demo. it provided answers for serious problems that my development team faced when making cinematic games on the iPhone and iPad. But Metal for OS X? The particle effects on stage were less impressive than last year's iOS demo, and moreover, while watching the demo onstage, I couldn't help but note that Unreal Engine games barely exist for the Mac. There's Tomb Raider, the Borderlands trilogy, X-Com, and a handful of indie titles, but m…
