The bid to be the default search engine in Safari continues, Yahoo does "eyes" to Apple

What will be the default search engine will select Apple Safari, both for iOS version to the version in OS X? As you know, since we already talked about this in November, Apple renewed the contract in 2010 with Google, which stipulated to this search engine as the default browser engine just this year 2015.

We all know the veiled war between Apple and Google, although Tim Cook obviously have a much more diplomatic character in this respect that Steve Jobs, it seems that this agreement with Google will end there. And now come into play other ... Yahoo and Bing with Microsoft are really interested in getting the contract and now Yahoo, which in a recent earnings conference has openly talked about it.

OneDrive for company comes to OS X and is integrated into the same app for iOS for OneDrive

Microsoft has not only been presenting news in the last seven days with Windows 10 Project HoloLens, etc but throwing two major improvements for users of Apple and its system of cloud storage. OneDrive for the company comes to OS X and iOS app already enables integration between personal and business account.

So far we required two independent iOS applications, it is no longer necessary and from the same application will have access to everything. Then, and equally important, the client for OS X OneDrive for Business facilitates offline work with documents. Important news for users of Apple and Microsoft cloud which also continue to receive new features in future updates.

If you are still Mavericks user or Mountain Lion user, you have a major update to download

If you have not yet migrated your Mac to Yosemite, either by choice or simply because your Mac does not support it, be quiet, Apple continues to maintain your operating system. Whether Mavericks or Mountain Lion OS you have installed on your Mac, both just received an update that fixes several vulnerabilities.

This security update for both operating systems, 2015-001, is not an upgrade itself, but comes to plug some holes which also corrected the latest version of Yosemite launched last day 27, the 10.10.2.

Folx makes us more and reaches version 4.0: Analysis

The original Apple Watch dated 1995 ... and was called Circa.

Who would have thought that the concept of Apple Watch out something new for Apple, the reality is that it rains it pours, at least in name. Joking aside, it turns out that there was already an Apple Watch and this dates back to 1995, was called Circa.

But do not think that this is a previous SmartWatch in time. It's actually a clock without more and was a limited promotion for all Apple users that were updated to version 7.5 for Mac OS. A gift for purchasing the new OS version then.

A curious design with a blue anodized aluminum and colorful Apple logo so beloved nostalgic (including myself). In the video you can see as a user of Youtube, Jonathan Morrison, owner of one of them, took it to CES 2015 to teach and see the reactions of some of its participants (including the famous benders iPhone 6 plus).

The task manager Any.do jump to Mac

In mid-2013, the tasks of Any.Do deeply renewed and joined a new calendar application. At the time I I reviewed the news and said, where is the support for other Apple devices is? Well, better late than never, because Any.Do has submitted its application for OS X since its official blog.

Besides synchronize tasks we have done from the mobile transparently Any.Do will open on your Mac with an interface that inherits the minimalism of the application for iOS. We can manage tasks between teams of people (adding comments and attachments), organize our personal tasks following the GTD system and access all functions from an icon in the menu bar.

The application is free from the Mac App Store, although a subscription of $ 2.99 a month or $ 26.99 per year gives us access to change the appearance of the program, generating reminders based on our geolocation and priority access in the holder. Any.Do can be very complex, but at the same time as the manager of simple tasks that take the first steps to become more productive. And with this new version for Mac, it's a good time to give it a try.

Welcome to the twenty-first century: The App Store already generates more revenue than Hollywood

Asymco has announced a series of data and graphs that show us, once again, how big business has become the App Store. It has happened over this past year: the iOS App Store has surpassed Hollywood film industry revenue. What's more, there are developers that already charge more than some movie actors.

Directors like Ridley Scott may have you much envy these figures: 10,000 million dollars paid to developers during 2014, which in turn have accumulated 25,000 million in revenue. In other words, iOS developers have admitted 40% of the total money last year alone. Sign that we are growing well.

AppleCare plan new features

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Tara Bunch, Vice president of the AppleCare and technical support division in Cupertino, recently held a meeting with employees to discuss the service. And at that meeting, as reported by 9to5Mac sources, there have been some performance figures from AppleCare and their future plans.

Apparently, the AppleCare + service that protects the iOS devices from accidental damage goes well. Over 30 million people have contracted in the 14 countries where it is active, which has generated $2,000 billion in revenues and motivation to expand the service to more markets. One of the measures that can be taken in the future, for example, extend the deadline to purchase AppleCare + 30 to 60 days after purchase of the iOS device. 

Depending on how the economy goes, we might get to see a AppleCare + for Macs

We may also get to see a AppleCare + for Macs, now that bestsellers are Macbooks and are also subject to random breakdowns. Everything depends on the economy as something for the Mac would be significantly more expensive than iOS Terminal.

Another interesting thing is the improvements to our Apple accounts in relation to technical assistance. Taking advantage of the unification of Apple Retail and Apple Store web of Angela Ahrendts, Tara commented on a more unified experience between the Genius Bar, phone support and online.

The meeting ended with Tara Bunch promising a "superbowl" launch this fall, where we see almost all Apple products being updated, and encouraging all employees to help users start with the right foot on the platform when buy all these novelties. We will have a busy September and October ...

Financial Times: "Apple is preparing its own platform for smart homes"

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

According to the Financial Times, Apple is developing its own platform for smart homes. A system that would use our iPhone, and iOS devices in general, as the control center for our home. Thus being able to turn on lights, control security, appliances and more.

News that sounds powerful, but the options that Apple could be integrated into the operating system itself, rather than what would do. And, today, we have systems through the use of third-party apps that allow us all that through products such as Welmo Belkin, Placed...

But that "Apple style" and the choices that come with iOS 8 which is attractive and exciting. Imagine finally open source Siri for third-party apps with voice commands and control to get home.

The Apple smart home

A platform for the Apple smart home is something important but which responds to actions other manufacturers like Samsung or Google are already taking place. Of course, here, you never know who had thought of before. In order of announcement is clear that Apple is the last to arrive but if we look back we see some movements are now engaging with this alleged new intelligence platform.

First of all would be the new AppleTV settings. As you recall, configured our AppleTV with a simple touch, thanks to our iPhone without entering Apple ID. Then there is the issue of iBeacon, the AS under sleeve iOS 7. With this technology we have seen that you can implement numerous possibilities both in shops, public places or even the home. For example, Placed or MOCA platform.

Continuing, we see now the recent rumor of including NFC in the iPhone. Apple always said not to consider including an immature technology, the fact is that it is very useful and convenient for setting / pair devices with a single touch. So why not use it now. The truth is that the WWDC is a few days and we will focus on iOS and OS X.

Surprises at WWDC 2014

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

The big event for Apple developers approaching. Just get a week to start the WWDC 2014, and we are all biting our nails to see the traditional inaugural Keynote in which Apple put its cards on the table for much of the year.

Notifyr allows us to see iOS notifications on your Mac

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Notifications of applications are a feature of any smartphone for most of us feel a kind of love-hate. On the one hand warn us what we want but at the other end can be a complicated ordeal becoming controlling. Yet there are applications that allow us to optimize them, one of them is Notifyr.

Walter Isaacson: Apple purchase Beats for enhancing the TV

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Much has been said about the possible purchase of Beats Electronics from Apple, which should be confirmed along this week: that if they do it for the music subscription service, that if the talent and skills of Jimmy Iovine..., but the author of the official biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson thinks it's something else: television.

Podcasts for iOS also updated with enhancements like integration with Siri

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Said and done. Linking with the release of iTunes 11.2 and improvements in exploring podcasts, Apple has also updated Podcasts, independent app for iOS, adding these and other exciting new features such as integration with Siri Support or CarPlay to access our subscriptions from the screen of a brand new Ferrari FF, for example. 

Reproduction of podcasts joins the long list of things we can ask Siri. Just say something like "play podcasts" or directly specified which you want to begin to listen and listen to music.

The settings of the app have also received a necessary restructuring that makes it easier to understand how they work options that previously existed like to automatically delete episodes once played. In general, everything is a little easier now also combining this useful function to optimize our storage with the option to save our favorite episodes.

Ah! I almost forgot. Do you want to share a particular podcast with a friend? Go to their description or slides down their list of episodes to find the Share button. Now you can pass a link to your favorite podcasts via AirDrop.

Apple has released OS X 10.9.3

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple has released 10.9.3 update in OS X Mavericks with improved stability, compatibility and security among which are extended with support 4K displays in the latest models of Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina screen of 15 inches, and the added ability to sync contacts and calendars between a Mac and an iOS device via a USB connection. 

This new Mavericks version also includes Safari 7.0.3 with the usual update level security patches, fixes among other errors and problems with the Font Book, the reliability of VPN connections with IPSec, copy options, edit and inspect permissions on SMB servers, or stability to install configuration profiles.

As for iTunes 11.2, the update focuses on improving the exploration of podcasts with new features like the new tab "not played" access to the list of episodes to play or download more comfortably, an option to save our favorite episodes and disposal episodes automatically reproduced. Maybe dare update the Podcasts app for iOS. 

You will find both updates in the Mac App Store and if you were brave and installed public beta of OS X 10.9.3 you can be reassured to know that the final version passed without major drawbacks.

Final Cut Pro X and Proxy editing files

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Edit HD video is not limited to the last Mac with powerful processors and lots of RAM. Do it on older computers is possible. We just need to know how to harness its power and how to work more optimally. 

Any starting with video editing should know what video formats are the best to work with the selected application. In OS X, despite the criticism, one of the best options is Final Cut Pro X. The Apple's professional video editor allows us to make all kinds of issues and its price makes it one of the most attractive solutions.

When FCPX was presented watched how the number of video formats expanded. It was possible to edit AVCHD files imported from different cameras without resorting to converters. Of course is still more advisable to transcode ProRes since editing is more efficient. The "only" problem of working in ProRes is that the file size increases. A video 200MB happens to occupy 1GB approximately.


There are computers that can not handle this task, to solve it we have the option to edit using proxy files. A proxy file is a copy of our original material that the system creates and you will have a lower resolution than the original. Exactly 1/4 of the clip resolution. This helps the computer manage a lighter gross, so editing is facilitated file.

One example. Edit 4K on a MacBook Air is an impossible task. If we work with proxy files will conduct an issue with 1080p files, something the Mac can move with greater ease. Then once finished editing, when export is done using the files at full resolution. The proxy only serve as a reference and to facilitate editing. 

Editing in mobility

As you see, make use of the Proxy editing in FCPX not only allow us to do with our less powerful computers or even as a way to stretch the life of our Mac. Also provides us the ability to edit in mobility. That is, we can work on our Mac Pro or iMac with the original files and high resolution, but if we need to start while we are traveling, or want to continue at home on laptop we can too.

So we go to use the Proxy Edition. According to MacBreak explained how the idea is to create a library in FCPX where the original files are referenced and it just kept proxy material. Thus, we can take our laptop to the library, make any necessary edits and then copy back to our main Mac project. But I leave you with the video where the workflow you will see more clearly.

Image Capture, perhaps the most underestimated OS X application

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Many users do not know it, but OS X hides small applications that can meet many more functions than we think. Already demonstrated with TextEdit, which can replace Word or Pages for users who do not require a processor too complicated texts. Today, following the experienced with my students in classes that give training in Valencia, I will defend another application unjustly ignored: Image Capture. 

First, avoid confusion: I'm not talking action or capture screen in OS X or the Grab application: I speak of the Image Capture application that hides within the Other folder Launchpad. And never fails: whenever I reveal its capabilities to anyone, it is shocked.

Image Capture serves two major functions, so let's see them one by one. 


Import and manage images from external devices

What opens when you connect a camera to the Mac? iPhoto to import the photos to our photo library. What if we do not use iPhoto? In that case we can do transferring raw files with the Finder, or we can use Image Capture.

The application is able to recognize digital cameras and memory cards, showing a list or a mosaic all the images and giving us the option to import or delete the device comfortably. It also works with video, so we will not be reviewing any content.

A key feature of this is that Image Capture also recognizes iOS devices, making it a very useful program when we remove our entire photo roll for cleaning, importing all or part of your computer without complications and releasing space in our iCloud backups.

In this part, Image Capture is what clears me all doubts about these discs or USB flash drives with programs and utilities that bring compact cameras: no more install all that crap of applications will not use rarely and only take up space our Launchpad: OS X has everything you need for basic operations importing photos.

Scan images and documents

The other role played perfectly Image Capture is the scanning of documents. Here one can also say the same thing with importing pictures: we can completely dispense with all the host of utilities that usually come included with multifunction printers which always say "should" be installed to take advantage of all the capabilities of the scanner and / or printer. 


Nothing could be further from the truth: 99% of users just want to scan documents without complications, and Image Capture is able to do that without installing any add-on. Start the program and our scanner appear on the right sidebar of devices.

We have options to choose the resolution of the images, their size, rotation angle, we apply corrections to images and even if we are scanning a document can import it directly into PDF format without additional steps. I have not seen any manufacturers software or multifunction scanners do the same so simply.
