Flipboard is ready to annoy you with video ads
You may see Flipboard’s reading app as an oasis from an internet full of video services like YouTube, but it appears that you can’t quite escape those moving pictures. The magazine-like service is now rolling out full-page video ads in a pilot program; browse through major sections (such as News or Entertainment) starting today and you’ll see promo clips from the likes of Chrysler and Sony Pictures. If all goes according to plan, the pilot should expand on November 1st. It’s hard to cheer the arrival of more elaborate sales pitches, but look at this way: none of the ads will auto-play, so you won’t have to endure movie trailers and recycled TV commercials while you’re catching up on the day’s events.

WikiLeaks posts the software governments use to spy on dissidents
WikiLeaks’ all-or-nothing approach to revealing shady government activity just took a new (if decidedly risky) turn. Julian Assange and crew have posted FinFisher and FinSpy PC, the intrusion software that Australia, Italy, Pakistan and other countries use to break into and spy on people’s devices, no matter what platform they’re running. The leak site hopes that privacy-minded developers will use the code to improve security and prevent governments from easily cracking down on dissidents; it also puts pressure on Germany to clamp down on FinFisher and live up to its anti-surveillance principles. The strategy may pay off, although there is a worry that unscrupulous downloaders may use the code for more sinister purposes, such as keylogging or webcam monitoring. Let’s hope the tools don’t fall into the wrong hands.

Google debuts first three Android One handsets for India
Google and a number of partners on Monday introduced the first three smartphones to operate under the Android one banner. Designed to deliver low-priced devices to as many people as possible, the Android One line is a collaborative effort between carriers, hardware makers, and more. Powered by MediaTek’s MT6582 (quad ARM CortexTM A7) processors, the phones offer consumers many of the essentials needed in a smartphone experience.
They have high-quality front- and rear-facing cameras. And for all those pictures, along with your apps and videos, Android One phones will have expandable storage. We also added features that people in India will find particularly useful, like dual SIM cards, a replaceable battery and built-in FM radio.
The first three smartphones being announced are the Karbonn Sparkle V, Micromax Canvas A1, and Spice Dream UNO. Priced around Rs 6,399 ($105 U.S.), the trio are shipping with Android 4.4 KitKat but will also pick up Android L updates later this year. As is the case with the Nexus line, Google will maintain the updates, skipping the time and efforts needed for wireless providers.
The future of Android One
In addition to the new smartphones, Google is also announcing new hardware and component makers under the Android One umbrella. Looking ahead we should anticipate devices from companies such as Acer, Alcatel Onetouch, ASUS, HTC, Intex, Lava, Lenovo, Panasonic, Xolo, and chipmaker Qualcomm. In terms of expanded market availability, Google anticipates Android One products in Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka over the remainder of 2014 with more to come next year.

Google reveals the first low-cost Android One phones
As predicted, Google has just revealed the first Android One phones at an event in India today. Micromax, Karbonn and Spice Mobiles are the companies working with Google at launch, all three launching new handsets this morning. What can we expect from an Android One device? Karbonn, for example, is launching the “Sparkle V Red,” (pictured below) which comes with dual SIM slots, a 4.5-inch display (480 x 854), a 5-megapixel primary camera, 1GB of RAM and, importantly, the latest version of Android (KitKat).
The Android One initiative is Google’s big push into developing markets. India is a huge growth opportunity for smartphones, and Android One is designed not only to make more affordable handsets (the new ones will cost around 6399 Rupees — about $100), but it’s also a way of bringing a better Android experience. There are plenty of cheap devices that run the operating system, but they suffer from lack of updates. With One, Google can manage the software updates directly, ensuring a much better, consistent experience. The three new handsets should go on sale later today.

Glympse’s Android keyboard lets you share your location from any app
It’s not hard to share your whereabouts from your phone, but you usually have to dive into specific apps to do it; what if your friends on a new social network want to know that you’re nearby? That’s when Glympse’s new Keyboard app for Android may come to the rescue. So long as you have the regular Glympse on your phone, the input method lets you share your location through virtually any app. If there’s a text box, you can probably let others know where you are. You don’t have to give up keyboards like SwiftKey or Swype, either, since there’s a Quick Send mode that gets out of your way as soon as you’ve done. Glympse Keyboard isn’t going to be as sophisticated as apps that have position sharing built-in, but its sheer ubiquity could help the next time you’re meeting your friends for a night on the town.

VIPole Secure Messenger Review
In a world where the topic of security is becoming so mainstream now, privacy and the content that is on our devices is an ever growing concern, even for the average user. Security used to be something that the techies worried about, curating scenarios and encrypting data to safeguard themselves from the threats they were aware of. But, with so many high profile security breaches ranging from businesses to celebrities, everyone has begun to take note of just how secure their data is.
VIPole Secure Messenger aims to take care of your privacy by offering secure communications whether that be instant messages, group chats, voice calls, or even video calls by strongly encrypting them so intermediary third parties cannot view the contents.
VIPole offers a whole range of features for the security conscious by allowing you to make free voice and video calls via the VIPole platform encrypted end-to-end to other VIPole users.
VIPole Secure Messenger is a free app, but it has different types of accounts: Free, Professional and Business, offering tiered plans and varying feature-set for different user needs. The free version of the App will see the most essential features available providing strong end-to-end encryption, with the professional version offering some enhanced security extensions such as editing and deleting the message history, auto logout, fake secret phrase, auto delete messages, and encrypted data storage to name a few.
With an easy to use interface, adding your contacts is a breeze, only requiring you to have their VIPole unique ID. The communication options once your contact list is populated will have you exchanging media or video calling within minutes, all securely encrypted.
VIPole removes the need for complex software with endless security options and deals with all the encryption mechanisms and backend processing seamlessly, leaving the user to concentrate on an unobtrusive messaging experience.
Setting up a conversation is a breeze, and VIPole also offers a password manager built-in to the App to help keep your passwords safe and secure. VIPole are even transparent about the backend encyrption, ensuing confidence in the App with industry leading AES-256 and RSA-3072 algorithms used for the journey leaving you absolutely confidence your data is secure.
I could only see VIPole being enhanced further by offering a form of kill switch to completely erase all stored files and communications within the App for instant deletion of content within a single click, partnered with a tamper protection mechanism which could be paired with face recognition for undisputed security control.
VIPole Secure Messenger is available for free in the Google Play Store for Android now, and you can download it here.
