    Picasa Getting Started Guide Picasa is free photo management software from Google that helps you find, edit and share your photos in seconds. We recommend that you print out this brief overview of Picasa's main features and consult it as you use the program for the first time to learn about new features quickly. Organize Once you start Picasa, it scans your hard drive to find and automatically organize all your photos. Picasa finds the following photo and movie file types: • Photo file types: JPG, GIF, TIF, PSD, PNG, BMP, RAW (including NEF and CRW). GIF and PNG files are not scanned by default, but you can enable them in the Tools > Options dialog. • Movie file types: MPG, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV. If you are upgrading from an older version of Picasa, you will likely want to keep your existing database, which contains any organization and photo edits you have made. To transfer all this information, simply install Picasa without uninstalling Picasa already on your computer. On your first launch of Picasa you will be prompted to transfer your existing database. After this process is complete, you can uninstall Picasa. Library view Picasa automatically organizes all your photo and movie files into collections of folders inside its main Library view.

    Google EC Antitrust Enforcement: Expected Android EC Remedies Likely to Make Google Vulnerable to Competitive Threats in Mobile Advertising

    September 30, 2016 Google EC Antitrust Enforcement: Expected Android EC Remedies Likely to Make Google Vulnerable to Competitive Threats in Mobile Advertising Outlook and Timing Update The European Commission (EC) is widely expected to void the terms in Google’s contracts with mobile device manufacturers, or Mobile Application Distribution Agreements (MADAs), that contractually tie a suite of Google apps to the must-have Google Play app on phones using the Android operating system. Given that recent reports put Android’s worldwide market share at 86%, the opportunities for other tech giants as well as new market entrants to take a slice of the mobile app market are likely to grow significantly as a result. Google has already begun to face this outcome in Russia, where Yandex has reported gaining search market share soon after winning a parallel antitrust case in that country, which opened the door for Yandex to get pre-installed on Android devices. Europe is next, with the potential for antitrust authorities around the world to bring copycat cases. Google is therefore likely to face unprecedented competitive threats in mobile search and mobile app data collection, and hence mobile advertising. Google’s response to the Android charges is due on October 7; a decision in the case is expected by Spring 2017. In April 2016, the Commission formally charged Google, issuing a Statement of Objections (“SO”). The Commission allowed Google an extra six weeks to respond, making the response due on September 7. It since gave Google two additional extensions, and a response is now due on October 7.

  • The Android Platform Security Model∗

    The Android Platform Security Model∗

    The Android Platform Security Model∗ RENÉ MAYRHOFER, Google and Johannes Kepler University Linz JEFFREY VANDER STOEP, Google CHAD BRUBAKER, Google NICK KRALEVICH, Google Android is the most widely deployed end-user focused operating system. With its growing set of use cases encompassing communication, navigation, media consumption, entertainment, finance, health, and access to sensors, actuators, cameras, or microphones, its underlying security model needs to address a host of practical threats in a wide variety of scenarios while being useful to non-security experts. The model needs to strike a difficult balance between security, privacy, and usability for end users, assurances for app developers, and system performance under tight hardware constraints. While many of the underlying design principles have implicitly informed the overall system architecture, access control mechanisms, and mitigation techniques, the Android security model has previously not been formally published. This paper aims to both document the abstract model and discuss its implications. Based on a definition of the threat model and Android ecosystem context in which it operates, we analyze how the different security measures in past and current Android implementations work together to mitigate these threats. There are some special cases in applying the security model, and we discuss such deliberate deviations from the abstract model. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy → Software and application security; Domain-specific security and privacy architectures; Operating systems security; • Human-centered computing → Ubiquitous and mobile devices. Additional Key Words and Phrases: Android, security, operating system, informal model 1 INTRODUCTION Android is, at the time of this writing, the most widely deployed end-user operating system.
