Flip Video Updates FlipShare And Releases Mobile Apps

As a technology manufacturer, if your products don’t have a social media feature then you’re just not with it, it seems. This is why most new television allow you to post tweets and why the latest version of FlipShare software for Flip camcorders includes social features.

Flip Videos, such as the UltraHD we saw last month, can be seen everywhere these days from riots in central London to the handlebars of a mountain bikes careering down a mountain side. Cisco, maker of the portable camcorders, has announced this morning that it is updating the FlipShare software, used to upload content from the cameras. The stand out new feature is something called FlipShare Groups, which lets users securely share videos with family ad friends. After creating a FlipShare Group, users and their friends can access their videos from FlipShare.com and through the FlipShare Mobile apps that are now available for iPhone, iPad and Android. Within FlipShare Groups users can comment, read and post messages on each other’s videos and Groups.

“We have always looked to provide the best user-experience to easily shoot, connect and share high quality video and the upgraded FlipShare software now makes it even easier for Flip owners,” said Peter Groom, UK & Ireland Region Manager for Flip Video at Cisco. The mobile apps, available for iOS and Android devices as a free download, promise to make it even simpler to share any mobile video or photo to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter or directly to friends and family, with or without owning a Flip. They have been optomised “to bring the signature FlipShare simplicity to other popular mobile devices.”
New Flip Video owners will get the updated software bundled with the cameras. Existing owners will be notified automatically of the available upgrade at some time this month or, if you can’t wait, you can download it now from here. The mobile apps are available from Apple's App Store and the Android Market immediately and compatible with devices running iOS 4.0 or Android 1.6 and higher.

Symantec: A Growth Opportunity in the Mobile Market

Looking for companies with large growth opportunities is a good way to invest in technology stocks. As we've seen over the past year, investors have quickly bid up stocks that are well positioned to take advantage of companies that will be outsourcing their hardware and software to third parties. But can companies that produce "mature technology" find a way to apply their specific skills and services to newer markets?
With the emergence of the smartphone and tablet, there's a new target for hackers, thieves, and your garden-variety scoundrels to zero in on. And now that we'll be using these devices as credit cards or even virtual banks, the threat is even greater that someone will infiltrate your device. How's a consumer or company going to stop this from happening? The same way it's been done for years -- with security software and services.
What companies are best positioned?There's no pure-play mobile-security company out there that's currently public. But in my view, the safest route is to consider the largest security-software players -- those with the financial wherewithal to develop these new mobile products and still churn out a good profit from their old PC-, server-, or network-based ones, because this trend isn't going to happen overnight. That's a good thing, though, because if mobile-security sales were imminent, valuations would be much higher.
I focused on the largest vendor in this space, Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC  ) , as a company that could allow you to capitalize on this growth. There are a few reasons I chose Symantec over its competitors.
First and foremost, I wanted a company that was focused on the mobile-market opportunity. This is clearly one area that management is focused on, as evidenced by the company's Norton Everywhere product, which aims to secure the user across all devices -- be it PC, iPad, BlackBerry, or what have you.
I also wanted a company with plenty of cash flow from its current products to support the development of its next generation. Symantec churned out $1.5 billion in free cash flow in the past four quarters, enough to give the company plenty of flexibility to continue to fund its R&D efforts.
And then there's valuation. No analysis is ever complete without considering how much you're paying and whether it's at minimum a reasonable price. Symantec looks pricey in regard to historical earnings, with a current P/E of 24, but things look less daunting if you consider the forward P/E of 12. I'd prefer looking at free cash flow to enterprise value, and I see that's closer to 9. Given the magnitude of this potential market, I'm content to buy at these prices.
That's not to say that others can't capitalize from this trend. Competitor McAfee, which was recently acquired by Intel (NYSE: INTC  ) , is likely to benefit as well, as are other smaller players such as Trend Micro. In McAfee's case, Symantec management believes that the acquisition by Intel will hurt, as McAfee's sales force loses its enterprise-software focus and gains little in the way of customer breadth.
Current challenges for SymantecDon't get me wrong -- the news isn't all positive. There are certainly competitive challenges. The biggest, in my view, is the proliferation of free security products, though many of these products expect to monetize the consumer at some point. Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT  ) Security Essentials is one of the only products that doesn't try to upsell. Will that be enough to steal share from a company like Symantec? You shouldn't discount the possibility, but Security Essentials will have to prove that it's effective to thwart the security companies, and that's an area that lies outside Microsoft's core strengths. It's important to note that the mobile segment is extremely fragmented among Android, Symbian, iOS, and other operating systems. It's not all about Windows the way it used to be.
Any other upside?Even with my concerns, I remain bullish on Symantec and its ability to execute in the mobile market in the coming years. The added bonus is the potential for any of these companies to be acquired in the future. One has to look only at the recent McAfee acquisition or other acquisitions in the past year -- including Hewlett-Packard's (NYSE: HPQ  ) purchase of ArcSight, Dell's (Nasdaq: DELL  ) purchase of SecureWorks, and IBM's (NYSE: IBM  ) purchase of BigFix -- to see that the largest technology players understand that if their products aren't secure, very little else matters. But I wouldn't advocate buying a stock on acquisition potential, and keep in mind that Symantec isn't likely to be acquired, because of a number of factors. Of course, the possibility can't be totally dismissed.
I think this is the perfect time to invest in the security industry. To find growth at reasonable valuations, you have to get in before that growth accelerates. Although that strategy often requires risk, I feel confident that this market growth has to happen

MP phone hacking link

SOUTH Yorkshire MP Denis MacShane is the latest politician to be told that he may have been targeted in the News of the World phone hacking scandal, The Star can reveal.
Mr MacShane, the MP for Rotherham, said he has been informed by police that his mobile telephone number was found in documents seized from Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator who worked for the News of the World.
The MP believes he may have been targeted in 2005/06.
He has contacted his mobile telephone company T-Mobile to ask for technical information, which he will then forward to the police.
He said: “I can confirm that the Metropolitan Police have requested me to assist them in their inquiries into the News of the World phone hacking case after they informed me that my mobile phone number was among those found in documents by police.
“I am of course co-operating fully with the police into what is now clearly a very serious matter of public concern.”
Mr MacShane, a former Europe Minister in Tony Blair’s Government, is the second South Yorkshire politician to have been named in relation to the controversy.
Former Home Secretary David Blunkett was reported to have believed his messages may have been hacked by journalists as he fought to save his cabinet career in 2004.
A News of the World reporter and an ex-news editor were arrested earlier this week by police investigating allegations of phone hacking.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “We do not discuss individuals involved in any investigation.”

It is understood that the Brightside MP decided not to take legal action over the alleged hacking and has no plans to ask the police to investigate the claims.
A News of the World reporter and an ex-news editor were arrested earlier this week by police investigating allegations of phone hacking.
Chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, 50, and former news editor Ian Edmondson, 42, are suspected of having unlawfully intercepted voicemail messages

Hacking exposes email info to scam schemers

The hacking of a Dallas-based marketing firm, which exposed millions of email addresses to potential misuse, has raised the concerns of various security experts who now think unwary consumers will fall for scams in their inboxes.
A relatively unknown company called Epsilon came forward last week and confessed that its email database had been hacked. But this was not just any database: This was one used by industry heavyweights such as Disney Destinations, banks such as Citibank, Capital One and Chase, and stores such as Walgreens and Kroger.
The red-faced company isn't saying how many addresses were taken, but its blue-chip clients were forced to start notifying consumers that their email addresses were compromised and to be on the lookout for "phishing" attempts in the coming days, weeks, months and years.
This is the danger of this kind of attack. My email address is well-known, so I get tons of spam, perhaps thousands a week. But few people know where I do my personal banking. So when I get an email from "XYZ Bank" asking me to change my online banking password I am easily convinced to delete it because I don't have an account with XYZ Bank.
Now, however, millions of emails are associated with their correct relationship. A spammer can craft an email saying your Citibank account is overdrawn and to "click here" to see an important, encrypted message about your account. And bingo, you're infected with a Trojan that steals all of your passwords and banking data from then on.
Or you have a prescription problem at Walgreens and click here to resolve it. Bingo, you're infected. Or click here to enter your credit card info because your card was declined.
Think you're too smart to do that?
You may be, but tens of thousands of people do that every year in response to fake anti-virus pop-ups and other scams.
These "phishing" attempts (named for their goal of using bait to "fish" valid information out of you) are remarkably successful in many cases because the emails look official and use scary things to con an immediate response out of people before they can think more clearly. Oh gosh, my checking account is overdrawn? That can't be! Click. Walgreens declined my debit card? Why? I have plenty of money in that account! Click.
And this is not limited to the companies I named. According to a press release, Epilson has more than 2,500 business clients and sends out 40 billion emails a year.
This theft will take years to recover from and consumers need to be very careful not to respond to any requests in their inboxes for information. Your bank, a store — no one needs to ask you your password or any personal information. If they need it, they already have it because you gave it to them.
Your bank does not lose your password. (It may lose your email address — but not your password.)
