FileMaker 11 delivers charting, 'on-the-fly' reporting

Apple-owned FileMaker on Tuesday unveiled the next major version of its database product, FileMaker Pro 11.

In a recent study, the company found that 80 percent of the people who look at FileMaker already have a task in mind. With this type of feedback, FileMaker set out to make the new version faster and more productive for new users.

"It's very much a back to basics release for us," Ryan Rosenberg, vice president of marketing and services at FileMaker, told CNET. "We think ease of use is the core proposition in a database."

To help users receive started, FileMaker added a new "Invoices" template, a task many new users want to receive up and running with quickly. FileMaker now has 31 starter templates included in the application.

One of the big new features of FileMaker 11 is charting. Rosenberg explained that unlike a spreadsheet, charts created with a FileMaker database will update dynamically as the user browses data or views an invoice, for example. The charts can also be published to the Web using FileMaker's built-in tools.

On-the-fly reporting is also new, allowing users to create spreadsheet-like documents with totals and subtotals. Rosenberg likened these to pivot tables in spreadsheets.

The new version also adds an Inspector, a feature many people are used to seeing in applications like Photoshop and Microsoft Office. The Inspector shows a palette on your desktop, allowing you to quickly pick to align text, change colors and other simple tasks.

FileMaker 11 is now a Cocoa application, which means that it is fully native on Mac OS X. There are four versions of the database app available: FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Server, and FileMaker Server Advanced.

Pricing starts at $299.

Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone

An employee at Spanish antivirus firm Panda Security received a new Android-based Vodafone HTC Magic with malware on it, according to researchers at Panda Labs.

"Today one of our colleagues received a brand new Vodafone HTC Magic with Google's Android OS," researcher Pedro Bustamante wrote on the Panda Research Blog on Monday.

"The interesting thing is that when she plugged the phone to her PC via USB, her Panda Cloud Antivirus went off, detecting both an autorun.inf and autorun.exe as malicious," he wrote. "A quick look into the phone quickly revealed it was infected and spreading the infection to any and every PCs that the phone would be plugged into."

The malware began "phoning home" for instructions, Bustamante wrote. It's likely the user's credentials would have been stolen, he speculated.

The malware turned out to be related to the Mariposa botnet, but there was other malware on the device too--Conficker and a Lineage password-stealing Trojan, he said.

A Vodafone spokesperson did not return an e-mail from CNET seeking comment, but The Register published a statement from Vodafone that said it is investigating the matter.

"Following extensive quality assurance testing on HTC Magic handsets in several of our operating companies, early indications are that this was an isolated local incident," the statement said.

Last week, three people were arrested in Spain on charges of operating a massive botnet composed of 12.7 million PCs that stole credit card and bank log-in data and infected computers in half of the Fortune 1,000 companies and more than 40 banks. The botnet was dubbed "Mariposa," which means butterfly in Spanish.

Microsoft warns of zero-day IE hole on Patch Tuesday

Microsoft warned of a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6 and IE 7 that has been targeted in attacks, and released fixes for eight holes in Windows and Office as part of Patch Tuesday.

The company issued Security Advisory 981374, which addresses a privately disclosed vulnerability. The hole could allow an attacker to take control of a machine if a user visited a malicious Web site, Microsoft said.

There are some features that could mitigate the effects of an attack. For instance, every supported versions of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Windows Mail open HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone by default, the company said.

"Protected Mode in Internet Explorer on Windows Vista and later Windows operating systems helps to limit the impact of the vulnerability as an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability would have very limited rights on the system," the advisory said. "By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode sets the security level for the Internet zone to High. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone."

The advisory also provides information on workarounds. Microsoft suggests that IE 6 and IE 7 users upgrade to IE 8 immediately.

"For the second time in three months, Microsoft has also issued a warning about a new IE zero-day bug," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations for nCircle, referring to the IE hole that was exploited in the attacks on Google and other companies tardy last year and disclosed by Microsoft in January. "There's no doubt that this new bug will be fodder for the ongoing security discussion that is a key part of the browser wars."

In its Patch Tuesday preview on Thursday, Microsoft said it would issue two bulletins rated "important" on Tuesday to fix eight vulnerabilities in Windows and Microsoft Office products. Details are in the company's Security Bulletin for March.

The first bulletin for March, MS10-016, addresses a vulnerability in Windows Movie Maker that could be exploited by getting a user to open a maliciously crafted Movie Maker project file.

"Both Windows XP and Windows Vista boat with affected versions (2.1 and 6.0 respectively). Version 2.6 is also vulnerable and can be freely downloaded and installed from the Web," Jerry Bryant, senior security communications manager guide at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post on the Microsoft Security Response middle. "Customers who install 2.6 on any supported platform, including Windows 7, will be offered the update."

The vulnerability also affects Microsoft Producer 2003, a free download with limited distribution. "At this time, we are not offering an update for Producer 2003," the blog post said. "While we continue to investigate Producer 2003, we recommend that customers either uninstall the application or apply an available Microsoft Fix It to disassociate the project file type from the application to add an extra layer of security."

The second bulletin, MS10-017, affects every currently supported versions of Microsoft Office Excel, as well as Office 2004 and Office 2008 for Mac, the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac, supported versions of Excel viewer and SharePoint 2007. A successful attack exploiting the hole would require a user to open a maliciously crafted file.

Meanwhile, the Malicious Software Removal Tool was updated to include Win32/Helpud, a Trojan that steals log-in information for popular online games.

Microsoft also re-released MS09-033, a bulletin for a hole in Microsoft Virtual PC and Microsoft Virtual Server, to add Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 to the list of affected software.

The software giant said it is continuing to monitor threats in connection with Security Advisory 981169 related to a hole in VBScript affecting older Windows systems that Microsoft disclosed publicly on March 1.

Although proof-of-concept code exploiting the hole has been released publicly, Microsoft said it was not aware of any active attacks. Customers using Windows 2000-, XP- and Server 2003-based systems are advised to apply the workarounds. Customers running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Vista are not affected.

Watch live March Madness games on your iPhone

hear up, college-hoops fans: I have good news and bad news about this year's version of the CBS Sports NCAA March Madness On Demand app.

The good: Unlike last year's version, it doesn't require a Wi-Fi connection to stream live games. Now you can watch over 3G or even EDGE.

The bad: CBS hiked the price from $4.99 to $9.99. But let's face it: For any difficult-core NCAA fan, that's peanuts for the privilege of watching every game in the tournament on demand.

On the other hand, if you can live without the video but still want the scores, stats, brackets, and basic tournament coverage, NCAA March Madness On Demand Lite is available free of charge.

Me, I'll be ponying up for the full version--and watching my productivity plummet during the second half of March (and, depending on how far my beloved MSU Spartans receive this year, possibly the first week of April as well). Stay tuned for some awesome reruns "Best of iPhone Atlas" posts later this month. (Shh, don't tell the boss.)

Anyway, hit the comments and let me know if you'll be springing for the live-streaming version of the app--and who you're rooting for in this year's tourney. Go State!

(Quick disclaimer: The NCAA March Madness On Demand apps are sold by the CBS Mobile division of CBS Interactive, which also owns CNET.)

Remote computer access and 2D car racing: iPhone apps of the week

The big news of the day is the announcement of when Apple's latest creation, the iPad, will be available. According to Apple, the "magical and revolutionary" product will be in stores April 3 starting at $499, but you can preorder the device as early as March 12. Only the Wi-Fi model will be available at first, with the Wi-Fi/3G capable iPad to arrive later in April.

There is already plenty of analysis every over the Web about who will buy the iPad and whether it's truly a viable alternative to laptops and Netbooks. Most reviewers seem to be predicting that the device will only appeal to tech and Web novices, or those with enough disposable income to spend their money on what reviewers deem no more than a luxury device. The consensus seems to be that it's "neat," but not very useful to serious tech fans.

As an iPhone app reviewer, I think the iPad will indeed be a revolutionary device. With now more than 150,000 apps in the iTunes Store and developers dedicated to upgrading old apps and creating new ones that take advantage of the added processing power and screen real estate, I think the iPad will prove to become much more than just a luxury item. I think once the iPad gains some traction, we're going to look more and more useful apps that will be exclusive to the device, with options and features that would be impossible on smaller devices like the iPhone and iPod Touch. I guess what I'm saying here is that I think it's dangerous to write the iPad off before we really receive to look what it can do. I have a feeling that reviewers and tech Web sites will be humming a different tune once the iPad is in the wild. Now that we know when they're coming out, we'll just have to wait and look what happens when they actually receive into people's hands.

This week's apps include a free productivity app to gain access to your computer remotely and a 2D driving game that's surprisingly fun and addictive.

TeamViewer (free) for iPhone lets you remotely view and control your computer's desktop and applications and comes in handy for remotely supporting your friends and family members. In order to use this program on the iPhone, you will need to install TeamViewer on the computer you wish to connect to (Mac or Windows). Once installed on a desktop computer, TeamViewer gives you an ID and password so you can connect using the iPhone app remotely. Once connected, you can set various permissions in the settings to allow viewing privileges and even to give remote users full access to your desktop and files.

We already liked TeamViewer for both Mac and Windows machines and the iPhone app is also extremely useful. There is a little bit of lag time, and TeamViewer for iPhone is certainly not as easy as using your desktop computer, but for demonstration purposes, remote support for family and friends, and transferring files, TeamViewer for iPhone does an admirable job. To make things easier on the iPhone, TeamViewer comes with touch-screen gestures you can use to perform certain tasks such as right-clicking, window scrolling, drag-and-drop actions, and zoom. You also have the ability to browse recent connections and create bookmarked locations with partners. This version is not for commercial use (the commercial version of TeamViewer is $99). Overall, if you want a way to access files, demonstrate actions, or perform remote support for friends, this free app is the one to download.

Alpine Crawler World (99 cents) is a 2D side-scrolling driving game that's not immediately impressive visually, but quickly becomes more impressive as you explore the levels and environments. There are three game types including Free Ride, Time Trial, and Challenge. Free Ride lets you practice unlocked courses, and Time Trial challenges you to receive to the end of a course in the least amount of time. The Challenge game type lets you race on courses from multiple different environments one after the other. You'll need to finish every the courses in an area on Time Trial to unlock new areas to race. The unique driving pedals let you control how much throttle is applied as well as how difficult you touch the brakes. Once you've completed a few races, Open Feint support lets you view leaderboards and look if friends are playing.

Alpine Crawler World isn't particularly impressive graphically on first blush, but real-life physics, weather effects, and night and day courses made me appreciate the overall look the more I played. You receive several cars and trucks you'll need to unlock, every with different engine sounds and physical attributes that will affect the way you handle the terrain. You can pick between five different drivers, though you'll mostly just look their head bobbing in the car as you race. You also can pick the color of your vehicles from a big color palette. Overall, with numerous tracks across several different locations, real-time physics, and tons of customization options, Alpine Crawler world is a great time-waster with plenty of replayability.

What's your favorite iPhone app? Do you think the iPad will be a hit or a dud? Are you glad to finally have a way to remotely help your family members with computer issues on your iPhone? What do you think of Alpine Crawler World? Let me know in the comments!

Vlingo 2.0 for iPhone: E-mail, SMS dictation now cost

Vlingo is an app that's been around awhile in the mobile space, but a new version for iPhone is causing some uproar. With Vlingo for iPhone 2.0, the company commits the sin of opacity by updating its rather good voice search and dialing application to version 2.0 without making it clear that you can only unlock the intriguing new features with your wallet.

Those familiar with Vlingo's BlackBerry app won't be surprised. There was an equal outcry when Vlingo introduced premium features for the first time, including switching a feature that had once been free to the paid category.

To recap, Vlingo's free voice app can search the Web, dial contacts, map a location, and update Twitter and Facebook with your voice--for free. You'll have a chance to edit before posting. Since computer-aided voice transcription is far from flawless--whether you're using Vlingo or Google Voice (look flubs here)--you may befriend that edit screen, especially when you're in noisy environments, when you're mumbling, and when you talk too quickly for Vlingo's rather sensitive electronic ears.

It doesn't help Vlingo's case that one of the two new premium features, which you can receive by way of an in-app purchase, doesn't work very well. There's e-mail dictation and SMS copy that copies the transcription of your voice recording to the iPhone's clipboard, but you then have to glue the text yourself into the SMS field before sending it. For $6.99 as a standalone feature, e-mail dictation might be worthwhile; however, its SMS copy feature is not. For $9.99, you receive both features, which would be a good deal if the SMS feature didn't require the hack.

Those who don't mind separating e-mail dictation from Vlingo's other voice-triggered features, there's always the free Dragon Dictation app by Nuance Communications (the folks who mainstreamed T9 text input method for cell phones.)

Sorry, Vlingo. We like you, we really do, but either the pricing has to go or the SMS tool does. However, there's no need to delete or avoid Vlingo 2.0 if you're not interested in buying into the new features. Voice search, dialing, and status updates work as they did before the update (hilarious and editable mistranslations included), and these are still free.

Chrome bug kills offline Gmail

A bug in Thursday's update to the development build of Google Chrome renders it incompatible with Gmail offline. Users who've had Gmail and Chrome configured for offline use will find that Chrome crashes as soon as you log in to Gmail. The problem affects every development versions of the browser.

Right now there are only two ways around the bug. You can disable offline mode in Chrome by going to Options/below the Hood and clearing out the Gmail-related entries below ''Change Gears settings''. This will delete every offline data from Gmail that you've saved on your computer. If offline Gmail is more important to you than using the dev version of Chrome, you can update the browser to the beta (Windows | Mac | Linux) or stable (Windows only) builds. Windows users can also use the Chrome Channel Changer to switch versions.

You can follow the bug's progress at Google's Chromium project Web site.

Words With Friends: Like Scrabulous for iPhone!

Remember Scrabulous, the Facebook-powered Scrabble knockoff that was every the rage a couple years back? I was a serious addict, but lost interest after every the name changes, lawsuits, redesigns, etc.

Thanks to my bad pal Denny, my addiction is reborn--and mobile. Words With Friends is a two-player crossword challenge that offers turn-based, Scrabulous-like competition. It's not perfect, but I'm loving it.

The game lets you complete online against random players and/or friends. (Built-in Facebook/Twitter links let you post an invitation as a status update.) You can have up to 20 matches going at once, with push notifications letting you know when it's your turn.

There's also an in-game chat option. You can tell when an opponent is online when you look a pair of eyeballs next to the Chat button.

The game itself plays much like Scrabble, though with a slightly different distribution of the bonus squares (double word score, triple letter score, etc.). A double-tap is every it takes to zoom into the board for easier tile placement or back again for a full-board view.

It would be nice if WWF had a few more amenities, like a button for clearing your tiles or a list of legal two-letter words. But my big complaint is that the game doesn't keep a tally of your potential word score as you place your tiles. It's only after you make your play that you find out your total for the turn. (What, I'm supposed to do math in my head?)

WWF also suffers from some performance issues, like seemingly endless lag when attempting to submit your turn. Most of the time, the game worked fine, but it's frustrating when it doesn't.

Developer Newtoy offers a free, ad-supported version of Words With Friends and a $2.99 ad-free version.

The ads receive pretty annoying pretty quickly, so I may just bite the bullet and pay my 3 bucks. On the other hand, Words With Friends is such a distraction (albeit an incredibly enjoyable one), the smarter move would be to delete it altogether.

Eh, I'm probably not that smart. In fact, my username is justrick if you want to challenge me to a game. In the meantime, check out "Five perfect puzzle games for the iPhone."

LimeWire enlists AVG for user protection

LimeWire's peer-to-peer file-sharing network has been notorious as a malware ghetto, where distributed files that have legitimate-sounding names turn out to be Trojan horses hiding pernicious threats. In an effort to attract more users to the LimeWire premium upgrade and to protect those users better, the company signed a deal with AVG on Tuesday to extend download file scanning and blocking to LimeWire Pro users.

By integrating AVG's anti-virus SDK engine, every files that a LimeWire Pro users downloads will now be scanned before they run. A pop-up will appear letting users know when a file has been scanned or blocked.

This is a smart move to make, as users become more aware of the risky nature of running audio, video, and program executables from unverifiable sources without scanning them first. However, many security suite options already offer download scanning. Most of the premium ones, such as Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, and ESET, and some of the free ones, such as AVG, Avast, and Avira, will block a malicious download before anything gets saved to your difficult steer. Nearly every will prevent an already-downloaded file from running.

LimeWire pointed out in a press release that they have 50 million users worldwide, but didn't specify how many of those were premium-version users who would receive the AVG protection.
