Gang On Mopheads Raid Apple Store

Apple Store London

A gang of thieves robbed an Apple Store in central London during the early hours of Monday morning, November 13. The gang helped themselves to the company’s latest smartphones, as well as anything else they could lay their hands on.

A security guard was reportedly threatened with a hammer as 10 thieves on five mopeds smashed their way into the store on Regent Street just after midnight.

An eyewitness told the BBC the suspects appeared to have difficulties smashing the store’s locked glass doors but then took just three minutes to grab the goods before fleeing on the mopeds, though one was abandoned at the scene.

Cops said mostly iPhones, iPads, and smartwatches were stolen in the heist, though it’s not yet clear how much the haul was worth. No arrests have been made.

 Just a few weeks ago we heard about how hundreds of brand new iPhone X handsets were grabbed from a UPS truck in San Francisco, while in 2016, again in San Francisco, thieves hid under hoodies and strolled into an Apple Store during opening hours to grab handsets straight off the display tables. The New York Apple Store was robbed with thieves making off with more than 60 iPhones.

On Aug. 21, the moon will slip between Earth and sun, casting a roughly 70-mile-wide shadow that will race across the United States from Oregon to South Carolina, Whereby  millions of Americans  will have a chance to enjoy — and study -spectacular event. This is the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in 99 years. It has been dubbed,  aka the “Great American Eclipse.”

Watch a live NASA stream of the eclipse as it travels across the continental United States, calculate your view with our interactive eclipse map and get a virtual view in our eclipse simulator. While you wait, check out some of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory’s solar research and get even closer to the sun with near-live views from space.

The Reason Why Galaxy Note 7 Exploded

Snapshotpinkcoat_001

According to a report by Instrumental, the aggressive design strategy of cramming the biggest possible battery into the smallest possible frame is what caused the Galaxy Note 7 to explode. The large battery inside a 5.7-inch device with all the other features, including a separate slot for the S Pen to fit in, has reportedly been the cause of these explosions. To fit the large battery, Samsung left virtually no space (less than 0.1mm in some places) around the circumference, when the company ideally should have left a 10 percent gap for the battery to expand over time. The compression of the battery thanks to the stress of being placed in pockets, alongside the natural swelling, is reportedly the driving factor causing many Samsung Galaxy Note 7 units to catch fire. Samsung lost billions from the recall.

They Are Still Using Their Galaxy Note 7 Anyway!

capri1_001

Even after the recall due to the risk of explosion, consumers are still using their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 anyway.

More about that here https://www.apteligent.com/2016/09/samsung-galaxy-note-7-impact-battery-explosions-adoption

The initial recall on September 2nd Samsung would “voluntarily replace [users’] current device with a new one over the coming weeks,” but didn’t mention whether it was safe to continue using the device. A week later owners were advised not only to exchange their device “now,” but to also power it off completely.

New York States’3D Lottery Game

white sailor suit_001.png6_001

The New York Lottery has just released a scratch-off game that can be played in augmented reality using your iPhone or Android smartphone. It’s called Gold Castle, and it is the first of its kind in the country. You simply scratch off a small section for “3-D Play” and scan the barcode into an app. A castle pops up out of your ticket, and you can tap glowing windows to see if you won.

City & State recently spoke with the head designer of the new game, Liana Kadisha, who is the chief products officer at Paymaxs.

Selling Your Android? Make Sure You Data IsReally Deleted

Snapshotpink6_001

Researchers have discovered that data can be recovered after a factory reset. The file itself isn’t actually overwritten — the system just throws away all the info on the file, essentially tossing it in with whatever free space you have.

What can you do to prevent someone from recovering your data?

Encrypting your Android Phone is the strongest way to prevent its data from being recovered.  Devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow are required (except maybe some low-end devices) by Google to have mandatory encryption for maximum security.

Devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop or lower (and supports encryption), it’s highly recommended you turn on encryption (Settings > Security > Encrypt phone) to scramble its data before doing a factory reset. (The setting location may vary on different devices.)

Then factory reset it

New York Bill would Require Driver To Submit Phone In Accident

Snapshot_142

 A device called “textalyzer” designed to help the authorities determine whether someone involved in a motor vehicle accident was unlawfully driving while distracted.

The roadside technology is being developed by Cellebrite, the Israeli firm that many believe assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigation in cracking the iPhone at the center of a heated decryption battle with Apple.

 The first-of-its-kind legislation proposes in New York, that drivers involved in accidents would have to submit their phone to roadside testing from a textalyzer to determine whether the driver was using a mobile phone ahead of a crash. To bypass the Fourth Amendment right to privacy, the textalyzer allegedly would keep conversations, contacts, numbers, photos, and application data private. It will solely say whether the phone was in use prior to a motor-vehicle mishap. Further analysis, which might require a warrant, could be necessary to determine whether such usage was via hands-free dashboard technology and to confirm the original finding.

The legislation was prompted by intense lobbying from the group Distracted Operators Risk Casualties (DORCs). The son of its co-founder, Ben Lieberman, was killed in 2011 by a distracted driver in New York. The proposed law has been dubbed “Evan’s Law” in memory of 19-year-old Evan Lieberman.”Cellebrite has been leading the adoption of field mobile forensics solutions by law enforcement for years.

The law, which is before the New York Senate Transportation Committee, would recast the motor-vehicle driving law to make it so that motorists give “implied consent” for “determining whether the operator of a motor vehicle was using a mobile telephone or portable electronic device at or near the time of the accident or collision, which provides the grounds for such testing. Police will inform motorists involved in an accident that “the person’s license or permit to drive and any non-resident operating privilege shall be immediately suspended and subsequently revoked should the driver refuse to acquiesce to such field test.”

5G Mobile Communicationas

MiWaveS 5G network concept

Research indicates, there will be a completely new radio technology for the 5G mobile communications standard expected to hit the market by 2020. Research work in the UK and across Europe into the next generation mobile phone standard is currently focusing on the use of millimetre wave radio transmission at very high 30-300GHz frequencies.

If implemented, this will represent the biggest technology change for a mobile generation since the switch from analogue to digital GSM technology more than a decade ago.

The first discussions on potential global standards will start next month at a 3GPP standards meeting in Arizona.

Beiging-iPhone Counterfeiting Ring Shut Down

Snapshotpink6_001

Beijing police have busted a factory that produced more than 41,000 fake iPhones worth as much as ($26 million), including some that reached the United States, and have arrested nine suspects in the counterfeiting operation.

Apple is one of the most popular brands in China, where authorities have stepped up efforts in recent years to dispel the country’s reputation for turning out counterfeit goods.

Officials have taken stiffer action to enforce intellectual property (IP) rights, pushed firms to apply for trademarks and patents and cracked down on fakes.

Apple is one of the most popular brands in China. Pictured here is a real iPhone 6 Plus.

The internet giant and the retailer have announced that they’re creating wearable technology that will be gesture interactive.
They plan is to sell garments that have the power to interact with, send data to and display information from a nearby device such as an iPhone. The jeans will be crafted from a special Jacquard thread that’s been interwoven with smart technology. Both companies are hoping to have their extremely clever threads on sale by next autumn/winter.
The technology has already been created. Now the designers have to get creative with their side of the process.
Wearable technology has seen a rise in popularity in recent years – Ralph Lauren released a polo shirt that can relay heart rate info, while Opening Ceremony designed a varsity jacket that can charge phones. Google and Levi’s collaboration is the first of its kind.

Is Your Site Moble Friendly?

Snapshothat7new1_001

Google site called Mobile Friendly Test helps companies determine just how friendly their mobile sites truly are. Sites that Google determines are mobile friendly earn a label that lets mobile searchers know the site works well on smartphones. Pages are either friendly or not friendly; there is no in-between. Don’t forget to work with your Web host. Squarespace, for example, has a dedicated how-to guide to help its sites optimize for mobile. Moreover, Google wants you to avoid some common mistakes

Google’s Find My Phone Feature

Snapshotpink8_001

Google has a new feature that allows Android users to just type ‘find my phone’ into a Google search box to find their lost or missing smartphone.

As long as they are logged in with the same Google account that is registered on their smartphone, they will be presented with a map revealing the device’s current location. If the device is nearby, they can also ask it to ring.

In the case that it has been stolen, for example, the Find My Phone feature does not allow users to lock or wipe their device remotely. However, they can do this through the existing Android Device Manager.

“If you know where your computer is, you can now ask Google to find your Android phone from your desktop. If the pesky phone is hiding nearby, Google can ring it for you – or you can see it on the map if you, say, forgot it at the bar.”

Google To Deploy Mobile Trucks To Sell Their Phones

 

Drawing inspiration from food trucks. Google will deploy “mobile trucks” soon, where customers will be able to design, print and assemble their own custom handset in under five minutes.

The first Project Ara smartphones will go on sale in Puerto Rico. The trucks will stop first in Old San Juan, moving south to Ponce, the island’s second-largest city, then through the rest of Puerto Rico, said Jessica Beavers, marketing lead with Google’s advanced projects division, at the Project Ara developer conference in Cupertino, California.

Project Ara a bold project allowing people to assemble their smartphone from modular components to get the features they want. Google will sell a basic smartphone frame, and users will be able to add the features they choose by snapping them into the frame.

The idea was inspired by Lego, and Google is relying partly on external developers to make antennas, batteries, cameras and other components. If a camera or antenna stops functioning, the module can be swapped out, eliminating the need to buy a new phone.

Users will be able to design and assemble their smartphones in under five minutes at the mobile trucks.

For customers who don’t want to choose every feature themselves, Google will offer a “bento box” option with pre-selected components that users assemble at the point of sale.

Those that don’t want to be bothered with the assembly process, a “ready-to-go” Ara with all the modules plugged in will be on sale. The pre-built phones will be based on themes like hiking, travel or photography. Puerto Rico was selected as its first location because of its high mobile penetration. More than three-quarters of smartphone users there are “mobile first,” ie; they access the Internet mainly with their smartphones.

Internet penetration is around 60 percent, and more than 80 percent of smartphone users rely on social media for news, product purchases and other activities.

Certain Devices Determine How Much You Pay When You Shop Online

 

In a study conducted by Northeastern University 300 recruited real-world online shoppers visited 16 different websites – 10 of which were general retailers, and six of which were hotel booking sites. Researchers compared the prices each person was quoted and studied how these prices varied based on operating system,browser, past purchases and clicks.  Apple iPhone owners often see lower prices.  Researchers found that Home Depot charges Android users higher prices on approximately 6% of the items in its catalog $0.41 on average. However, on an item-by-item basis, you can occasionally see browser-specific price swings of $100 or more. For  the best deals on both Cheaptickets or Orbitz, you’ll want to be a registered account holder. Researchers found that when users logged in they saved an average of $12. Hotels.com nor Expedia practices price discrimination – all users get the same price, regardless of operating system or browsing history. But these two sites do serve different search results to different users. Priceline, like Hotels.com and Expedia, doesn’t practice price discrimination. However, ‘The Negotiator’ will change your search results based on your history of past clicks and purchases. If you prefer booking cheaper hotel rooms, Priceline will favor cheaper rooms in your search results. If you regularly book 3- and 4-star accommodations, Priceline will default to showing you its more expensive options. Booking a hotel room on Travelocity, is best to do it on an iPhone or iPad. The researchers found that as many as 5% of the site’s rooms carry a special unadvertised iOS “Apple discount” averaging $15 per night. Beware if you’re visiting on Chrome or IE 8: One room showed up $50 more expensive on those browsers than on others.

Overall, most of the researchers’ exper­i­ments on the 16 e-​​commerce sites did not reveal evi­dence of price steering or price dis­crim­i­na­tion.However,dif­fer­ences were sig­nif­i­cant in some of the cases where they did find this evi­dence.

The researchers work will be pre­sented at the 2014 Internet Mea­sure­ment Con­fer­ence in Van­couver next month—their research represents the first com­pre­hen­sive study of e-​​commerce per­son­al­iza­tion that exam­ines price dis­crim­i­na­tion and price steering for hun­dreds of actual users as well as many more syn­thet­i­cally gen­er­ated fake accounts

 

 

 

 

New York City’s Tech Projects

Snapshotcremesuit1_001

 

One of the biggest tech projects in the works is the Department of Information Technology’s proposal to change 9,100 pay phone kiosks into Wi-Fi hot spots.

The city received several applications for the proposal that will give new life to the kiosks. In addition to providing free, high-speed Internet for anyone who has a smartphone, tablet or computer, the call boxes will also give access to 911 and 311 and may include other features depending on the vendor.

California-based Solatube proposed a special system that would deliver natural sunlight into buildings during a blackout. New Yorkers will have a chance to see these prototypes at a demo night on Oct. 7 at the New York Academy of Sciences.

City Councilman James Vacca, who chairs the technology committee, started a pilot program that will bring interactive “smart tables” to PS 392 in Throgs Neck, PS 175 on City Island and PS 108 in Morris Park. The desk-sized touch screen computers provide educators with a useful tool that can be implemented in countless ways. The tables in the pilot come preloaded with various educational software that is geared for early education. For example, students can learn reading and grammar by repositioning the words on the screen while a teacher explains the language rules at the same time. Students can learn in groups, teachers can teach interactively and students can get introduced to technology early.

Smart Tables were also showcased at Microsoft’s DigiGirlz Day some years back

The FDNY’s Electronic Pre-hospital Care Report, can upload the patient’s stats to an online cloud server that can easily be accessed by the city’s hospitals. Ambulance staff  can the use tablets and Wi-Fi in  the truck to transmit the anonymous data to the system. Awaiting doctors not only have more time preparing emergency rooms for the patient, they also can provide guidance to the responders to treat immediate injuries. This can save the city over a million dollars.

Sprint Stops Bid On T-Mobile

 

 

 

Snapshotpink7_001

Sprint Corp has stopped its bid to acquire U.S. carrier T-Mobile U.S. Inc  after regulatory resistance showed no signs of lightning up, despite months of lobbying.

 

The move is a rare setback for Sprint’s Japanese parent SoftBank Corp whose billionaire founder Masayoshi Son had seen the acquisition as key to taking on U.S. market leaders AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc .

Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. carrier, and T-Mobile the No. 4 U.S. carrier have not ruled out consolidation in the future. Sources say that a deal is unlikely to be approved at this time. U.S. regulators have insisted that they want to keep the number of major wireless carriers at four. French telecom firm, Iliad made a lower bid than Sprint but is in talks with U.S. cable and satellite companies to offer a better deal.

The Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) plans to deliver the specifications for free data flow between devices, regardless of the OS, device type or wireless communication technology. The new consortium, includes chipmakers Broadcom and Atmel. The consortium will rival the Qualcomm-supported AllSeen Alliance, which last week welcomed Microsoft as its 51st member, among Sharp and others. Apple and Google are also pursuing their own ways of interconnecting household devices. In June, Apple announced HomeKit, which will integrate control of devices like lights and thermostats.
Google’s Nest has also partnered with companies including Whirlpool Corp and light bulb maker LIFX to integrate their products with its thermostats and smoke detectors.

Google & Microsoft Installing Killswitch Technology

business suit_001

 

Google and Microsoft have agreed to install killswitch technology into the next version of their Android and Windows Phone operating systems with the hopes of  curbing the growing theft of smartphones in cities across the world.

The killswitch technology follows pressure from authorities in both the US and the UK, under the Save our Smartphones (SOS) initiative. This was formed in response to the huge rise in the number of thefts of high-endsmartphones. The hope is that killswitch will render any theft irrelevant and so curb this growing trend.

 

Sprint & T-Mobile Merge?

Snapshotpink3_001

 

Sprint Corporation’s parent company Softbank Corp., and T-Mobile have reached a possible agreement on merging the third and fourth largest carriers in the nation. If such a merger was approved, the two companies combined would hold a customer base over 100 million subscribers. This would place the joint company closer to AT&T who boasts 116 million wireless customers, and Verizon who has around 103 million customers. The Department of Justice (DOJ), and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would review any proposal, and there is one area they will focus on: how will the merger benefit consumers while promoting competition for choice?

When AT&T made a bid for T-Mobile three years ago, lawmakers immediately squashed the proposal, stating they prefer four major carriers in the game. T-Mobile’s power play in 2013, by rolling out amazing deals have prompted other carriers to offer installment plans, and better family plans – the lawmakers have been pleased with the competitive environment.The merger is currently in early talks, and pricing has not been confirmed. Neither company has issued a statement advising of the deal.

Tennis Racket Embedded With Technology

Snapshot_142

According to Stuff.co.nz, maker of the racquets Eric Babolat said that a few of the world’s best tennis players would show up at tournaments within weeks armed with new technology hoping to  give them an advantage at the French Open and Wimbledon.

Babolat said the technology had been developed over 10 years and that information directly transmitted from the player’s racquet would tell exactly what is happening, not just a feeling from the player.The technology-loaded rackets is supposed to collect data such as shot power and ball impact location along with the number of strokes, the level of spin imparted, total play time, endurance, technique, consistency, energy and rallies.  Information is then transmitted through bluetooth to smartphones or tablets where players and coaches could analyse and share their data with other analysts and online communities.

The Wireless Charging Industry

Snapshotleatherskirt9_001

 

Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) and the Power Matters Alliance (PMA) has announced that from now on, they will work together, on a universal wireless charging standard.

The wireless charging industry is severely fragmented, with rival groups all vying to make their standard, the standard. In  doing so, they have only served to divide the industry and thereby dissuading the manufacturers from investing in wireless charging technology. As a result, very few smartphones have wireless charging technology incorporated into their designs and even fewer tablets have the technology.

If they want to convince big-name mobile device manufacturers to commit to wireless charging, they will have to create a universal standard. In 2012, Qualcomm and Samsung paired up to consolidate their two standards and several other smaller groups joined them to form the A4WP. Now PMA has joined up with the A4WP. The last big group in wireless charging to join the fray is the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the group responsible for Qi charging, which is found on Nokia smartphones and a few Google Nexus devices. It is unknown whether the WPC will join in on the agreement, but leaders in the field are optimistic that things will eventually  change.

All the players in the industry all seem to hesitantly agree that there should be a universal wireless charging standard, it’s just getting them all to agree on one that is the problem. While consumers eagerly wait patiently

Technology Plays a Larger Role In What Families Are Eating

 

Snapshotpink3_001

Restaurants are playing a key role in most family’s weekly – and sometimes daily – routine. When families either  dine out or order take out they can expect an increasingly healthier options with a side of technology.

As technology becomes a critical tool of convenience – the desire to use options like touch-screen ordering, smartphone apps and mobile payment when dining out is stronger than ever.

According to new research from the National Restaurant Association, 63 percent of Americans have recently used technology at restaurants, such as using a smartphone or tablet to order takeout or delivery, with even more saying they are likely to do so if these options become available. In turn, nearly half of restaurateurs plan to devote more resources to customer-facing technology this year. 

The National Restaurant Association’s What’s Hot culinary 2014 survey revealed that locally sourced items, environmental sustainability and healthy kids meals will continue to be top menu trends for the year, reflecting consumers’ growing interest in what they eat and where their food comes from. To find restaurants that serve nutritious options for children, download the National Restaurant Association’s free Kids LiveWell app.

Eight out of 10 consumers say restaurants offer more healthy menu options now compared to two years ago, and seven out of 10 say they are more likely to visit a restaurant that offers healthy options.

 Environmental sustainability, local sourcing, health-nutrition, children’s nutrition and gluten-free cuisine topped the list for current food trends that will be the hottest menu trends 10 years from now. The five items that gained most in trendiness since last year in the annual survey were nose-to-tail/root-to-stalk cooking, pickling, ramen, dark greens, and Southeast Asian cuisine.
