Star Apps: Alex Karpovsky

Technology, software in particular, has taken us places never thought imaginable. So it's not surprising a conversation about apps can take a turn into a deeper dialogue about art, childhood, and deep-seated insecurities. The aforementioned discussion took place between Download.com and Alex Karpovsky, in late July, in San Francisco, while he was on a promotional tour for his film "Red Flag," a smart satire about...a moviemaker (Alex Karpovsky) on a promotional tour (his 2008 film "Woodpecker," following a brutal breakup).

Karpovsky, best known for his role on the hit HBO series "Girls" chatted with Download.com about his favorite apps, how his parents have informed his relationship with software, and how recent tech innovations have helped the indie film industry.

Alex Karpovsky, in effect.

In "Red Flag," your character is someone who wears a watch, makes phone calls, and writes down notes. Why doesn't he rely on his phone's clock, and text and type? I think that's less a reflection of who I am and more of what I find cinematically engaging. I just don't want to see too much text and e-mailing in movies. I'm just not personally, visually, or aesthetically drawn to that and I think it's more interesting to tell the story that way. But I text and e-mail all the time -- compulsively.

Your character in "Red Flag" is on a promotional tour, yet we never se... [Read more]

    

McAfee updates Android security app, adding Free and Premium versions

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 09:09 AM PDT

On Tuesday, McAfee updated its Mobile Security app (now called McAfee Antivirus & Security) for Android and added several new features that include custom profile setups, improved analysis of data exposure, and backup operations over Wi-Fi.

These updates are added on top of Mobile Security's Basic free tier features like mobile antivirus, anti-theft, and backup services. McAfee aims to protect their users through both preventative and post-catastrophic measures, with added security features in the Premium service.

According to Ari Jaaksi, McAfee's SVP of Mobile Engineering, "When consumers contemplate securing their smartphones and tablets, they often think in terms of their susceptibility to mobile malware, overlooking the very real threat to their privacy should their devices become lost or stolen."

Even with security apps in place, McAfee's latest updates reflect a movement toward teaching users how to prevent unsafe mobile habits. Mobile Security is now directly integrated with McAfee's own Global Threat Intelligence network, which catalogs and analyzes the risk level of an app. The intention is to guide a user's decision on whether to use an app and inform them of any suspicious app behavior and data exposure to risky sites.

For those of us who don't have access yet to Android 4.3, McAfee's latest update brings an alternate method of cre... [Read more]

    

Is Instagram turning its back on third-party app Instance?

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 08:09 AM PDT

Instagram's native application doesn't work with Windows Phone 8. And if a new report is true, it appears Instagram wants no part in allowing other app providers to use its private API to create their own alternative.

Speaking to The Verge in an interview published on Tuesday, Daniel Gary, the creator of Instance, a third-party Windows Phone app, says that Instagram has stopped allowing his app's customers from uploading pictures to the Facebook-owned photo-sharing service.

According to Gary, he used Instagram's private API to reverse engineer the uploading process and allow Windows Phone users to snap pictures and share them on the social service. However, Instagram recently began "detecting when photos are not uploading via the official app," Gary told The Verge. After Instance users upload images, it takes only a few seco...

User Rating:
Good: The Samsung Gravity Q has a simple design that's easy to use and a spacious, comfortable keyboard.
Bad: The Gravity Q has a small, dark display and supports only 3G data. Call quality was variable, with a speakerphone that's almost unusable.
Bottom Line: If you're not opting for a smartphone and you can look past its dated design, the Samsung Gravity Q is your best choice for a T-Mobile keyboard phone. [Read more]

Logitech Harmony Ultimate

Posted: 30 Jul 2013 10:14 PM PDT

Editor's Rating:
User Rating:
Good: The Logitech Harmony Ultimate is a sleek universal remote with RF, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IR, and a 2.4-inch color touch screen that recognizes some gestures; it's Web-programmable via Macs or Windows PCs, but can edit commands without having to connect to a computer; rechargeable via the included cradle; controls up to 15 devices and offers good customization options; works interchangeably with app-based control from iPhones and Android phones.
Bad: Expensive compared with Harmony Smart Control package; poorly placed "transport" buttons; lacks dedicated forward and reverse skip keys; rechargeable battery is not replaceable; takes significant time and effort to set up large, intricate home theater systems.
Bottom Line: Despite its high price and a handful of drawbacks, the Logitech Harmony Ultimate is an impressive, feature-rich universal remote that's well worth the investment, particularly if you have a lot of components in your system. [Read more]
