Snapdragon Smart Protect: Lo último en seguridad viene de Qualcomm

Posted on by

Qualcomm

Si tienes un smartphone o un ordenador, la seguridad del dispositivo es de lo más importante. Es un aspecto que siempre deberíamos tener en cuenta, y más con la cantidad de malware suelto –conocido y no conocido– que hay ahora mismo suelto. Se genera malware nuevo a diario, y los antivirus tradicionales no siempre son capaces de detectarlo –esto recuerda a las palabras del ingeniero Adrian Ludwig, que aseguraba que los antivirus en Android no son necesarios–.

Donde los antivirus fallan, el fabricante de procesadores Qualcomm cree que puede tener éxito. Es por eso que hoy hemos sabido de la existencia de Snapdragon Smart Protect, el asalto de la empresa de San Diego al sector de la seguridad móvil, últimamente siempre en alza.

Snapdragon Snap Protect estará presente en los nuevos chipsets de Qualcomm, como por ejemplo el próximo procesador de gama alta Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, que sufre problemas parecidos a su antecesor o eso parece. Este protocolo se usaría para ayudar a detectar los distintos tipos de malware móvil. Qualcomm ha creado nuevas APIs que usarán los fabricantes y los creadores de antivirus. Con ellas esperan ayudar a complementar sus tecnologías de seguridad con análisis del comportamiento de la máquina en tiempo real.

Según han declarado los de San Diego:

Snapdragon Smart Protect se ha diseñado para que estudie el comportamiento de las aplicaciones del dispositivo en tiempo real y de forma casi instanánea, y para clasificar cualquier comportamiento sospechoso o anómalo lo más rápido posible. Las aplicaciones sospechosas se clasifican en distintos niveles de malware, que va desde lo más destructivo, a aplicaciones de spyware, a molestas aplicaciones de adware.

En Qualcomm dicen que Snapdragon Smart Protect estará disponible en dispositivos para el público durante la primera mitad de 2016, de modo que debería llegar con el Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. Empresas como Avast, AVG y Lookout están trabajando para usar Snapdragon Smart Protect en sus aplicaciones móviles también.

LG’s Nexus 5 (2015) gets another round of leaked specs

Posted on by

Google is going to introduce a couple of new Nexus smartphones this year, perhaps as soon as at the end of September. This has been rumored extensively over the past few months, with LG and Huawei being the manufacturers of those devices.

While Huawei will take care of the phablet market, LG’s new Nexus is expected to be a sequel to the Nexus 5 from 2013. Today a new rumor comes to shed some more light on its specs.

First off, it’s still unclear whether it will be called Nexus 5 (2015) or something else, so keep that in mind. Pricing is another mystery, though it will surely be cheaper than the Motorola Nexus 6, based on these rumored specs.

Speaking of which, the new LG Nexus is said to sport a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 12.3 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie shooter, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset at the helm, 3GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of storage, and a 2,700 mAh battery. The Nexus 5 (2015) is apparently going to be offered in three color versions: black, white, and blue.

The previously talked about USB Type-C port will be in, though whether it will be USB 3.x or just USB 2.0 (like in the OnePlus 2) remains to be seen. The Snapdragon 808 isn’t Qualcomm’s current flagship SoC, but with the issues surrounding the 810 and its heat-generating abilities, this one’s bound to be a cooler choice (literally). And the 1080p display will clearly sip less energy than a QHD panel would have, which may mean the average-capacity battery will be able to handle around a day of normal use. Yet this is all just speculation for…

LG G Pad X 10.1 is official for AT&T, lands on September 4

Posted on by

AT&T has announced a new tablet today, and it definitely looks like it’s nothing but a slightly tweaked version of the recently unveiled LG G Pad II 10.1. AT&T’s model is called LG G Pad X 10.1, and its specs are extremely similar to those of the G Pad II 10.1.

It comes with a 10.1-inch 1,920×1,200 touchscreen, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 chipset with 2.26 GHz quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, an 8 MP rear camera, a 2 MP selfie snapper, 4G LTE, and a 7,400 mAh battery. It runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

Basically the only two differences, in terms of hardware, between this and the G Pad II 10.1 are storage (AT&T’s tablet has double that of the international model) and the rear camera resolution (8MP for AT&T, 5MP for the rest of the world). Otherwise, they’re identical.

The G Pad X 10.1 will become available in Brilliant Bronze at AT&T online on September 4 for $249.99 with a two-year contract. You can also choose a tablet installment plan through which you pay nothing upfront then followed by 20 monthly payments of $17.50, adding up to a grand total of $350. The tablet will be offered by AT&T physical stores nationwide starting on September 11.

3 Questions Parents Of Gamer-Kids Should Ask Themselves Immediately

Posted on by

When my ex-wife and I separated about four years ago, I started playing video games with my kids. I wanted to spend time with them, but I didn’t want to pull them away from the things that gave them a sense of comfort in tumultuous times. So I bought them a Nintendo Wii. Then I snuggled up next to them on the couch and we played hours of New Super Mario Brothers. We cheered each other on, discussed our favorite parts of the game, and just generally had a great time.

Credit Scores: Everyday Predictive Analytics

Posted on by

News reports about predictive analytics can give you the impression that the field is new (it isn’t), or exotic (it isn’t) or so specialized that it doesn’t have much meaning for the average business (it isn’t). The truth is that businesses large and small use predictive analytics on an everyday basis, often without giving it any thought.
