Trying on clothes using augmented reality isn’t new but what about makeup? FaceCake has introduced a new AR platform to let you try on makeup shades using your browser. The other good thing is it happens in real time. Online cosmetics store Cargo partners with FaceCake to put the technology to use. They started off with products like lipstick and eyeshadow. The AR tool works with HTML5 and JavaScript so as long as you have a browser running that and a webcam ready, you can try on as many shades as you want.

Apple’s Mac operating system has been hit by the “first fully functional” ransomware threat via the Transmission BitTorrent client. According to Claud Xiao and Jin Chen of Palo Alto Networks, “attackers infected two installers of Transmission version 2.90 with KeRanger on the morning of March 4.” Once installed, the malware connected to a remote server via the Tor anonymizing service and it “begins encrypting certain types of document and data files on the system.” It then “demands that victims pay one bitcoin (about $400) to a specific address to retrieve their files.” If you downloaded the app on Friday or Saturday, it’s recommended you download the 2.92 update to avoid being targeted by the ransomware. And here are steps to identify and remove the malware if it was installed.
Apple on the same day the threat was discovered revoked the signing certificate involved to prevent new installations of the infected version via the iOS-like GateKeeper signed-app security system. They also automatically distributed an OS X XProtect antivirus signature to flag or quarantine existing compromised downloads. With these measures up, those who try to open a known-infected version of the app will get a warning dialog box that notes “Transmission.app will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash,” or “Transmission can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image.”

Some people thrive under pressure. For writers who just need that extra kick, The Most Dangerous Writing App is something you should be using. This web app and its extremely long yet creative name is a writing app that will delete everything you’ve written if you stop writing for too long. You can choose how long your session will last—from five minutes up to one whole hour. When you select your limit, you’ll get a short countdown warning when the app is about to delete what you wrote.
Of course, this doesn’t seem ideal to use when you’re working on an essay, research paper, or article, but if it’s just for a brain dump or for brainstorming, this might be a tool worth checking out.
