It may be hard to believe, but in the United States, 22 percent of mobile Web users actually spend over six hours a day using the mobile Web. As hard as that is to believe, in China, the number of such users is actually 53 percent, and in Brazil it is 35 percent. To us, these are astounding numbers, but they are also numbers that clearly suggest the mobile Web is already a significant disruptive force on a global scale. Whether those users are spending their time shopping and engaged in commercial activity or in social engagement -- and most likely both -- it is clear that the mobile Web is driving a new age of usage and connectivity for a highly diverse collection of consumers. If there needed to be proof that rich data is driving the next generation of mobile communications, one need look no further than Instagram video. When the Facebook picture service introduced video, channels started to saturate. Over five million videos were uploaded in the first 24 hours of the service going live, and that was still before every user received the update for the social app. For those who have been following my recent postings, you are aware of my passion (some might say obsession) with security challenges being faced by service providers, enterprise IT professionals and even us everyday users when we are at home or on the go. While the iPhone camera has replaced the full digital camera for many users, the idea of an iPhone camera working in 3D is a little difficult to consider. At least it was, until a recent Kickstarter cropped up for the Poppy, an add-on for the iPhone that allows not only the viewing of 3D video on an iPhone, but also the shooting of same. I always hated when in school I was taught to not start a paper with, As the dictionary says… Why not start with a definition of terms and some context? It is for that reason that I would like to introduce everyone to the term Complosion. Believe it or not the Urban Dictionary has defined it as, An explosion inside a robot. Unfortunately, many if not most of us have been victims of a virus or malware problem. This is not just at work where are talented IT professional can help us, but also at home and when we are out and about. Help can be problematic in those cases, and such problems can render our ability to interact useless. It happens a lot lately: you're using a search engine to find results, and you click on a result, only to find it's actually a paid result, not an organic one. While advertisers and search engines are required to identify paid results so they can be differentiated from organic results, it seems like the markers become harder to identify with each passing year. In preparation for the Shield launch NVIDIA sent a bunch of Shield units out to some analysts for feedback and I've been having a ton of fun with mine. This is one mean gaming-machine, but it is actually some of the other stuff it does that has me a bit more intrigued, for instance it is a damn good drone controller. Let me explain. The good folks at the Juniper Mobile Threat Center (MTC) are on the job 24/7/365, looking at and analyzing individual instances of mobile malware. Hence, they have an unusual catbird seat on what the bad guys are up to, and to put it mildly, no good is on the rise. Just when you thought the intrigue surrounding former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward J. Snowden's leaking of American surveillance tactics could get more convoluted, it has.
