Kobo pulls books after abuse row

15 October 2013 Last updated at 06:33 ET By Dave Lee Technology reporter, BBC News

E-book seller Kobo has suspended the sale of all self-published books on its UK website following the discovery of abuse-themed titles.

Kobo - which also makes e-readers - said it did not intend to censor material, but needed to "protect the reputation of self-publishing".

The company said titles that did not violate its policies would go back on sale in a week's time.

Kobo provides e-books for WH Smith, whose site is currently offline.

WH Smith said it was working with Kobo to make sure it was satisfied no similar titles would appear.

"Until we are confident that completely robust screening processes are in place to filter out inappropriate content, our website will not go live," a spokeswoman said.

"For clarity, we are working closely with our eBook partner, Kobo, however we are also ensuring that our own filters from the Kobo feed are adequate.

"We are close to completing our content review and expect the website will be live again shortly."

Kobo is taking immediate action to resolve this issue"

Kobo said it would undertake a "thorough review" into its processes to make sure unsuitable titles did not make their way on to the Kobo platform, and subsequently the WH Smith website.

Last week it emerged that Amazon, WH Smith, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers were selling pornographic e-books featuring incest, rape and bestiality on their sites.

On Amazon's store, the search function would automatically suggest phrases such as "daddy daughter impregnation".

The Ministry of Justice has indicated that the sites may have breached the Obscene Publications Act, a law that requires publishers to protect shoppers from inadvertently finding content that outrages public decency.

However, it added that since it had received no complaints it would not be investigating further.

'Not censorship'

Toronto-based Kobo, owned by Japanese firm Rakuten, is a major player in the e-book/reader market. It released a statement on Tuesday explaining the move which does not affect its global store.

"Kobo is taking immediate action to resolve this issue," the company said.

"As a result we are quarantining and reviewing additional titles."

The firm insisted that the move was not censorship, adding that it fully supported "freedom of expression".

"We want to protect the reputation of self-publishing as a whole," a spokeswoman said, adding that the problem was limited to a minority of publishers and authors who had violated content policies.

"While some may find our measures extreme, we are confident that we are taking the necessary measures to ensure the exceptions that have caused this current situation will not have a lasting effect on what is an exciting new channel that connects readers to a wealth of books."

Burberry boss Ahrendts to join Apple

15 October 2013 Last updated at 05:43 ET

Burberry chief executive Angela Ahrendts will leave the luxury goods firm next year to join technology giant Apple.

At Apple she will become senior vice president for retail and online stores.

Ms Ahrendts has been with Burberry for almost a decade, and has been credited with turning it into a globally recognised firm.

She will be replaced by chief creative officer Christopher Bailey, who has been in the role for six years.

In her new job, Ms Ahrendts is expected to report directly to Apple chief executive Tim Cook.

Apple's decision to hire Ms Ahrendts comes just three months after it recruited Paul Deneve, the former chief executive of French luxury group Yves Saint Laurent, for "special projects".

The moves are rumoured to be related to Apple's development of an "iWatch", in which an understanding of fashion will be as important as the technology and engineering behind the product.

'Moved and humbled'

Ms Ahrendts said it was "an honour" to have worked at Burberry.

"Burberry is in brilliant shape. I am confident that Christopher, as one of this generation's greatest visionaries, will continue to lead Burberry to new heights," Ms Ahrendts added.

Mr Bailey said he was "moved and humbled" to take on the chief executive role. He will also retain his existing chief creative officer role.

"We have a clear strategy to build on, an increasingly powerful brand and an inspiring management team," he added.

Ms Ahrendts and Mr Bailey will work together over the coming months to try to ensure a smooth transition, the firm said.

Continue reading the main story

Burberry chairman Sir John Peace described Ms Ahrendts' departure as "a natural progression".

"I have no doubt that Christopher's vision and leadership, with the excellent management team in place, will keep Burberry on the forefront creatively, digitally and financially," he added.

Burberry results

Ms Ahrendts' departure was announced as Burberry revealed 17% growth in underlying retail sales in the six months to the end of September.

Retail sales from stores open at least a year grew by 13%, helped by double-digit growth in Asia Pacific and the Europe, Middle East, India and Africa division, as well as high single-digit growth in the Americas.

Total revenue rose 14% to £1.03bn.

The British fashion brand is one of the UK's most successful luxury exports.

HTC fingerprint phone unveiled early

14 October 2013 Last updated at 09:19 ET By Leo Kelion Technology reporter

HTC has announced its latest handset a day earlier than planned after its details leaked on to the net.

The Android-powered One Max - which includes a fingerprint scanner and a 5.9in (15cm) screen - had been scheduled to be unveiled at a press conference in China on Tuesday.

The device is a larger "phablet-sized" version of its flagship model.

HTC's original One was well-reviewed but has been outsold by Samsung's Galaxy S4.

That helped cause HTC to post its first ever quarterly loss earlier this month.

The Taiwanese firm announced a deficit of just under 3bn Taiwan dollars ($100m; £62m) for its July-to-September quarter.

By contrast Samsung Electronics has forecast record profits for the same period.

HTC said it decided to abandon the restrictions it had placed on information about the One Max after a member of the media broke a Tuesday embargo placed on its specifications. A spokeswoman for the firm said she was unable to name the publication responsible.

Fingerprint security

The HTC One Max's inclusion of a fingerprint scanner makes it set to be the first Android handset to go on sale with the facility in the UK since Apple's launch of the iPhone 5S in September, which included a similar component.

However, both were preceded by Motorola's Atrix handset, released in 2011. It also included a scanner on its rear, but struggled to take accurate readings, leading the firm to ditch the feature in later models.

More recently, South Korea's Pantech began selling a handset with the function in its home market in August. It has also announced plans for a fingerprint scanner-equipped phablet - the Vega Note LTE-A - but has yet to declare its launch date.

HTC said the One Max would begin its roll-out later this month.

"The fingerprint scanner allows users to lock or unlock the screen and quickly launch up to three favourite applications by assigning an individual finger to each," HTC said in a statement.

Apple's software chief, Craig Federighi, recently told the Bloomberg news agency it had designed a "walled off" enclave on its custom-designed A7 processor to store iPhone owners' fingerprint data to ensure the biometric information could not "escape".

By contrast the new HTC handset uses an off-the-shelf Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, but the firm offered the following assurance to consumers:

"The fingerprint data is encrypted and stored in local memory and can't be readily accessed or copied. The fingerprint data cannot be easily converted into any other form or used by a third party."

However, one security expert suggested the firm still needed to provide more detail.

"The obvious question is: What kind of encryption is the company using?" said Alan Woodward, chief technology officer at the consultancy Charteris.

"The bottom line is that whenever your biometric data is being stored for security purposes it could potentially be misused.

"So, consumers will always want to be sure it is stored in such a way that if you lose the phone, it is hacked into or there's some other kind of unauthorised access, that it can't be readily obtained."

Marketing problem

The new mobile expands the HTC One family following the launch of a "mini" 4.3in-screened handset in July.

The original HTC One - which has a 4.7in screen - obtained a higher review score than Samsung's rival S4 on The Verge and Techradar news sites and recently beat its competitor to be named T3 magazine's gadget of the year.

However, HTC has repeatedly blamed marketing problems for its failure to match its South Korean rival's sales.

In August it employed the Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr to head a new campaign, however its share price remains about 90% below its 2011 high.

"If you look at Samsung Electronics' financials, in the June quarter it spent $2.1bn on marketing - most of which went on mobile phones - that's more than all HTC's revenue for the same period by quite a margin," said Benedict Evans, from the media and tech advisory firm Enders Analysis.

"HTC does have a marketing problem - but it's not the creative part that's the issue, it's the scale.

"It's also worth bearing in mind that when you talk about Samsung's marketing spend over half of the sum is below the line: sales commissions mostly. And this isn't just an HTC-specific problem - it's a problem that applies to LG, Sony, Motorola and others as well."

Samsung's next earning figures are due to be released on 25 October.

Blackberry seeks to calm customers

14 October 2013 Last updated at 20:48 ET

Embattled smartphone maker Blackberry is publishing an open letter to reassure customers about its future.

The letter, due to be published on Tuesday, admits the firm is facing "challenging times", but adds that it is taking measures to tackle them.

It comes just days after research firm Gartner recommended that customers should move to other technologies.

Blackberry made a net loss of $965m (£600m) in the second quarter and has agreed a $4.7bn sale deal.

The Canadian firm has agreed in principle to be bought by a consortium led by Fairfax Financial, its biggest shareholder.

"These are no doubt challenging times for us and we don't underestimate the situation or ignore the challenges," the letter says.

"We are making the difficult changes necessary to strengthen BlackBerry."

Restructuring business

The firm was once a dominant player in the smartphone sector, but has struggled to hold on to its market share amid growing competition from rivals such as Apple and Samsung.

Even the launch of new phone models have failed to spark a recovery.

The company's financial problems came to a head this year following disappointing sales of its new Z10 smartphone.

Sales were so poor that Blackberry had to write off $934m in the second quarter to account for the weakness.

Prompted by the losses, the firm has announced a major restructuring programme, which includes 4,500 job cuts - or 40% of its global workforce.

In its letter, the firm says that the restructuring will help cut it costs by 50%.

It also emphasises the fact that it has "substantial cash on hand and a balance sheet that is debt free".

Argos to sell own-brand budget tablet

14 October 2013 Last updated at 21:12 ET By Matthew Wall Technology reporter, BBC News

Argos has launched its first own-brand Android tablet computer in time for the Christmas shopping season.

The 7in (18cm) tablet will retail for £100 and run on Google's Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 operating system.

The MyTablet will come pre-loaded with apps and games, Argos said, including Angry Birds and BBC iPlayer.

The launch follows hot on the heels of Tesco's Hudl launched last month, another more powerful 7in tablet priced at £120.

Argos says the tablet, available in pink or silver aluminium, is aimed at the "tweenie" market of eight- to 13-year-olds and has parental controls already enabled.

The MyTablet features a 1.6GHz dual-core processor, a 1024 x 600 resolution LCD glass screen, 8GB of built-in memory, and wi-fi and bluetooth connectivity.

Simon Barry, Argos technology trading manager, told the BBC: "We think this hits the sweet spot in terms of price and performance.

"Kids find it hard to share, so we've priced our tablet at a level that means everyone in the family can have one."

The MyTablet matches the cheapest 8GB Amazon Kindle Fire, and rival budget 7in tablets from Acer, HP and Lenovo.

"We know a lot of families are probably feeling worse off this Christmas than last," said Mr Barry, explaining the pricing strategy.

"We're confident MyTablet is going to do really well."

Shaun Collins, chief executive of research company CCS Insight told the BBC: "The UK tablet market has seen enormous growth in the last 12 months - we expect 17 million tablets to be sold this year, over half of them in the 7in category."

The MyTablet, which is produced under the retailer's own Bush electronics brand in partnership with a Chinese manufacturer, is designed with basic games and social networking in mind, said Mr Barry.

"I think the £100 tablets will be the most popular this Christmas because their quality and performance has improved a lot over the last year," said Francisco Geronimo, European mobile devices analyst at IDC.

"While they're not as good as higher-priced, more highly specified models, they're good enough for most social networking and gaming needs," he added.

IDC expects nearly 230 million tablets to be shipped in 2013, giving them a near 15% share of the connected device market.

And over the next five years it expects the global tablet market to grow by 79%.

The MyTablet will go on sale on Wednesday.

Contact lists 'latest NSA target'

15 October 2013 Last updated at 07:56 ET

A document leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden alleges the National Security Agency collects up to 250 million online address books each year.

The collection of contact lists from both foreign and US email and instant message accounts is outlined in a document leaked to the Washington Post.

Scrutinising such lists allows the NSA to find hidden connections between people of interest to them, it says.

The web firms involved said that they did not give direct access to the NSA.

During a single day last year, the NSA collected 444,743 email address books from Yahoo, 105,068 from Hotmail, 82,857 from Facebook and 33,697 from Gmail, according to the alleged internal NSA Powerpoint presentation.

Another 22,881 address books were harvested from unspecified providers, according to the Washington Post.

In response to earlier allegations, Yahoo said that it would begin to encrypt email connections from next year. Meanwhile Facebook called for greater government transparency about data collection and Microsoft said the revelations raised "significant concerns".

The data collection, which the paper says takes place overseas, happens when users log in, compose a message or sync devices.

According to the leaked document, the information is collected at at least 18 key access points controlled by telecommunication companies based outside the US.

Because American web communications can flow outside of the country, the contact lists of US citizens also cross the international collection points, known as Sigads (Signals Intelligence Activity Designators).

This is particularly significant because President Obama has previously said that US citizens were not targeted by the surveillance, which he said struck "the right balance" between security and privacy.

No control

Address books include names and email addresses but can also include telephone numbers, home addresses, and business and family information.

Many web-based email services generate contact lists automatically once an email has been sent. These lists allow users to write emails more quickly by providing an auto-complete suggestion.

Prof Alan Woodward, who is from the University of Surrey's department of computing and has been an adviser to GCHQ (UK Government Communications Headquarters) is not surprised by the latest allegations.

"One of the problems of putting any data in the cloud or with other forms of online service provider is that you no longer have complete control over it," he told the BBC.

"Many of the online service providers are themselves reaching into your machine and pulling your contact list from your PC to their service to 'assist' you in finding other users of the service that you might know and wish to contact or connect with."

Dodgy character

For an intelligence analyst, access to such data would allows them to reconstruct a network of who knows whom among criminals and terrorists.

But Prof Woodward added: "Unfortunately it is quite unreliable in this day and age as we are all in so many people's contact lists that the networks become very tangled.

"Think of the old game where we try to think how we are connected to Kevin Bacon within six steps. By such reasoning Kevin Bacon would be a very dodgy character and not just because of his EE adverts," he added.

Previous Snowden allegations have suggested large-scale NSA spying and attempts to weaken internet encryption.

The NSA said that such surveillance is used to combat terrorism, drug smuggling and human trafficking among other crimes.

It has always maintained it has no interest in the personal information of ordinary Americans.

But NSA director general Keith Alexander has defended the bulk collection of internet communications, saying that counter-terrorism and serious crime-fighting requires "the haystack to find the needle".

Wireless pacemaker comes to Europe

15 October 2013 Last updated at 08:37 ET

A miniaturised, wireless pacemaker that can be inserted into the body without invasive surgery has been given approval for use in the European Union.

Developed by US start-up Nanostim, the device is designed to be implanted intravenously directly in the heart.

It is less than 10% of the size of a conventional pacemaker and uses a built-in battery.

Experts said it was an "exciting development" but at a very early stage.

The pacemaker has yet to receive full US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

Conventional pacemakers require a patient to be cut open and a pocket created in the body to house the pacemaker and associated wires.

Such wires are regarded as the component of pacemakers most likely to fail. The pocket created for the pacemaker is also liable to infection.

By contrast the Nanostim pacemaker is delivered via a catheter inserted through the femoral vein near the groin.

It has a built-in battery, smaller than an AAA battery, that lasts between nine and 13 years. Eliminating the need for wires lowers the risk of infection or malfunction and means that patients are not restricted in the amount of activity they do, the firm behind the device claims.

The procedure to fit the pacemaker typically lasts around half an hour. The device is designed to be easily retrievable so that the battery can be replaced.

Because the device is delivered intravenously, it also means patients will have no scarring.

One doctor, involved in its trials, described it as "the future of pacemaking".

"For the past 40 years the therapeutic promise of leadless pacing has been discussed, but until now, no-one has been able to overcome the technical challenges," said Dr Johannes Sperzel of the Kerchhoff Klinik in Bad Nauheim, Germany.

"This revolutionary technology offers patients a safe, minimally-invasive option for pacemaker delivery that eliminates leads and surgical pockets," he added.

Better understanding

But others were more cautious.

Prof Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This is a potentially exciting development but it's early days.

"Before this leadless pacemaker becomes widely available, we need a better understanding of how long it will last, as well as how easy it is to replace if necessary. As our knowledge of this new pacemaker widens, so too will the expertise needed to fit this potentially exciting device."

The company behind the device has recently been bought by global medical device firm St Jude.

It has had several wire-based pacemakers recalled in recent years.

Other device makers are also planning to go wireless. The Wireless Cardiac Stimulation system has been developed by US start-up EBR Systems and UK-based tech firm Cambridge Consultants and uses a tiny wireless electrode no bigger than a grain of rice powered by an ultrasonic pulse generator, inserted lower down in the chest.

In 2011 the device was implanted in 100 patients in hospitals across Europe.

Cardiac pacemakers are used to treat slow heart rates. The devices monitor the heart and provide electrical stimulation when the heart beats too slowly.

The first pacemaker was fitted in 1958. Currently more than four million people around the world have some sort of cardiac rhythm device with an additional 700,000 people getting one each year.

Snapchat hack secretly saves images

15 October 2013 Last updated at 08:57 ET By Dave Lee Technology reporter, BBC News

An app that discreetly saves images and videos sent through "self-destruct" messaging service Snapchat has been created.

Snapchat rose to popularity as an app that allows people to share pictures, safe in the knowledge they would delete themselves after being viewed.

However, Snaphack circumvents this system, allowing recipients to pass on or upload images to social media.

Snapchat could not be reached for comment on the app.

However, the company's terms of service state that it does not allow the development of "any third-party applications that interact with user content or the services without our prior written consent".

Snaphack was made by UK-based developer Darren Jones, who told the BBC: "Snapchat has not been in touch and I imagine it's only a matter of time until they request that my app is removed.

"But my app just proves and informs people that these apps exist and people need to be careful."

Previous methods of saving or retrieving Snapchat images and video have been publicised. In August, another app known as Snap Save was distributed - but users found that if they saved an image it would inform the sender they had done so.

Snaphack gives no such warning.

The app is available through Apple's App Store. Apple is yet to comment on the issue.

Rapid growth

Although it is not marketed as such by the company, Snapchat has gained a reputation as a system for so-called "sexting", due to the app's countdown timer that renders the picture inaccessible after a few seconds.

First released in 2011, the app has rapidly grown to be worth - according to one estimate - around $860m (£540m), but like many social media start-ups it has yet to turn a profit.

Concerns over privacy have followed the app's success closely. In May, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission.

"Snapchat is the app that promises to delete photos but it doesn't," said Marc Rotenberg, EPIC's executive director.

"We have no problem with apps that make photos vanish. But they should work as promised, and if they don't the Federal Trade Commission should investigate."

In response, Snapchat brushed off the claims - acknowledging that an image could easily be saved by simply taking a screenshot on the phone, or by photographing the screen with another device.

Since then the company has regularly used its blog to outline its practices for storing images.

'Private images'

Other image retrieval methods relied on special software to reverse-engineer Snapchat's system - but Snaphack's simplicity and automation raised serious issues, argued one expert.

"It absolutely undermines the security of Snapchat," said Rik Ferguson, vice president of security research at Trend Micro.

"If the fact that your photo has a limited lifetime is the one thing that gives you the comfort to send it, this news should put you off."

Please, every single time, take a deep breath, and don't press that button"

End Quote Rik Ferguson Trend Micro

Developer Mr Jones told the BBC he was introduced to Snapchat just three weeks ago - and said he designed the app to raise awareness that such sharing is possible.

"For months people have been sending private images without knowing it has been possible to do this kind of thing with them with other apps," he told the BBC.

"The ideal response from Snapchat will be to put a system in place to stop people being able to save images in this way or any other."

Mr Ferguson added: "Snapchat advertises its service as being in the moment - but really the best advice is not to get lost in the moment.

"Please, every single time, take a deep breath, and don't press that button."

Flossie the computer to be rebooted

15 October 2013 Last updated at 09:18 ET By Leo Kelion Technology reporter

Efforts to reboot one of the oldest surviving mass-produced computers are under way in Milton Keynes.

The National Museum of Computing has taken delivery of what it believes is the last ICT 1301 computer to ever have a chance of working again.

The machine - known as Flossie - had originally been used to produce exam results for students at the University of London.

The museum hopes to put it on display by 2016.

One of its trustees said Flossie was one of the first computers specifically designed for use by UK businesses rather than scientific institutions.

"Before this time, computers were absolutely huge with valves and thousands of vacuum tubes and would get incredibly hot, making them difficult to house in a normal business," Kevin Murrell, a trustee of the museum, told the BBC.

"But this machine used transistors, which used very little power. That meant you could have more of them in the same space, you didn't need the complex cooling equipment and you wouldn't require the high power that earlier computers needed."

ICT 1301s had a footprint of about 6m by 7m (20ft by 23ft) and weighed some five tonnes. They came with a punch card reader and printer built in to their body, which were used to enter and save data by means of creating a series of holes in a piece of stiff paper.

"For medium-sized companies that wanted to computerise their invoicing, their accounting or their payroll, this gave them the help to do that," added Mr Murrell.

Movie star

The University of London bought its machine in the 1960s and used it for accounting and administration tasks in addition to generating GCE examination results for students in England and Wales.

It was later sold at scrap metal value to a group of students before eventually ending up at a farm in Kent, whose owner donated the machine to the museum.

Other editions of the machine were later used as props thanks to their arresting design. Doctor Who, the Pink Panther and the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun all featured ICT 1301s.

Over the years more than 150 copies of the computer were created, but the charity said it was only aware of three others being left in existence, all of which are beyond repair.

"One of the problems with computers as museum artefacts is that when they are switched off they are fairly boring - it's fairly difficult to learn anything from them," explained Mr Murrell.

"So ideally we want it switched on, and once we've restored it we will be able to run the original software.

"We will have caused some damage in the move, so we need to deal with that, but I think in about three years' time we will have a properly demonstrable machine."

Nike shows off new Fuelband

15 October 2013 Last updated at 12:32 ET By Leo Kelion Technology reporter

Nike has unveiled its second generation activity-tracking wristband, addressing criticism that its earlier device failed to recognise that some activities use more energy than others.

The Fuelband SE lets owners define the start and end of a session and then tag it - for example as yoga or basketball.

The firm's software then adjusts its "fuel" score accordingly.

However, speculation that Nike would add a heart monitor or other new sensor to improve accuracy proved incorrect.

The New York launch came a fortnight after the Fitbit Force was unveiled - a rival activity tracker that introduced a height-measuring altimeter that can record how many stairs its owner has climbed.

Jawbone, iHealth, Garmin, Withings and Adidas are among other firms to offer dedicated fitness-measuring gadgets. Meanwhile Samsung and Sony are promoting their newly released smartwatches' ability to download and run Android-based activity-tracking apps.

One market watcher suggested Nike might have missed a trick.

"Since Nike launched the first Fuelband early last year there has been an explosion of fitness wearables and apps," said Nitin Bhas, senior analyst at the tech consultancy Juniper Research.

"On the one hand you have Apple's promotion of the new motion processor in its iPhone 5S, which extends battery life when the function is used, and on the other hand you have Fitbit adding new technology.

"But you mustn't forget that Nike has the fact that it's an established brand in its favour, unlike some of the other firms involved."

'Improved' internals

Other improvements to the Fuelband include an upgrade to the lower-power Bluetooth 4.0 technology, allowing the device to automatically synchronise its data to an iPhone rather than requiring the owner to carry out a series of button presses.

There continues to be no official Fuelband app for Android devices, although users can connect the gadget to a computer to upload their data to a website.

The firm also suggested a redesigned internal circuit board and other changes meant the device offered "greater flexibility" and "improved water resistance". Issues with the original model meant several users suffered error messages after several months' use, requiring the bracelet to be replaced.

Like its predecessor, the company suggests the Fuelband SE can be worn in the shower but should not be submerged for extended periods, for example while swimming.

The company said that its iOS app also introduced a feature allowing users to work together to hit a fuel score target as well as a way to better monitor how much energy was used at different hours of the day.

Nike also announced plans to expand an existing programme to encourage third-party firms to develop software that makes use of the information generated by the device.

Growing market

Analysts agree that the wearable tech market - which includes devices such as Google's forthcoming Glass eyewear - is set to expand, but differ over its expected size.

According to a new report from Juniper Research the sector will grow from $1.4bn (£878m) of annual sales this year to $19bn (£11.9bn) by 2018.

Analysts at the bank Credit Suisse are more optimistic suggesting a $50bn figure by the same date. But the tech research firm Gartner is more cautious suggesting a $10bn target for 2016.

Nike is adding France, Germany and Japan to its existing Fuelband markets - the US, Canada and the UK.

It will be available from 6 November.
