Apple's iPhone 'lock-out’ patent could end texting while driving

A new automatic system to preventing phone use while driving could ‘change the culture’ of texting addiction, say experts

A campaign thumb-band, which reads 'texting while talking kills'

A new technology proposed by Apple would seek to address the dangerous and ubiquitous problem of drivers who use their phone behind the wheel, according to experts.

A new patent by the technology giant could “change the culture” and help stop driver distraction with an automated system that would disable certain smartphone functions when an iPhone user is driving.

One recently published patent describes a "driver handheld computing device lock-out" system that detects when a user is driving using on-board sensors or pulling information from the car when connected, blocking the use of text messaging or using other smartphone functions from the person driving.

“As a market leader, Apple could have the power to change the culture behind texting and driving, if it works and is intuitive; that would be a very good step,” said Paul Watters, head of motoring policy for the AA. “What we find in our research is that there’s an addiction here, to texting and using smartphones, it’s an addiction that is very hard to break even when in the car — it will take some system to help people break that addiction.”

Boosts likelihood of a crash by 23 times

Texting while driving is a hot-button issue that has been labelled as a “widespread menace” by Brake, the road safety charity, which has been shown to slow driver reaction times by 35% and increase the likelihood of a crash by 23 times for commercial drivers.

It is illegal to use a hand-held phones while driving, even when stopped at lights or in traffic in the UK, with an automatic fixed penalty of three points on the driver’s licence and a fine of £100.

Three in 10 of all drivers admitting sending or reading messages while driving, according to research by Brake and insurance company Direct Line. That number increases to more than four in 10 for drivers aged 18 to 24, while one in eight drivers admitted to using smartphone apps while behind the wheel.

‘Technology has a role to play’

Attempts to disable smartphones or limit distracting features of phones have been made in the past. Several developers have released apps that prevent drivers from texting behind the wheel for Android, but it has not been possible for the iPhone due to Apple’s restrictions on apps and system control.

“Technology has a role to play, but there is no single solution to the problem of distracted driving,” said Ellie Pearson from Brake.

Apple is currently making a large push into software for cars with its CarPlay system, which integrates an iPhone with a car's entertainment and communication tools, including connecting the car’s navigation system using Apple’s mapping app.

The patent for locking down the device was filed in 2008, but has only now been published. Apple could have a system in place that plays well with CarPlay, preventing the driver from texting using the smartphone other than via voice control through the car’s systems.

“Even if you cut off some functionality, it doesn’t necessarily remove the distraction the phone causes for drivers,” warned Watters. “There is no greater safety system than simply turning off the phone while driving.”

Apple security flaw could allow hackers to beat encryption

A major flaw in Apple Inc (AAPL.O) software for mobile devices could allow hackers to intercept email and other communications that are meant to be encrypted, the company said on Friday, and experts said Mac computers were even more exposed.

If attackers have access to a mobile user's network, such as by sharing the same unsecured wireless service offered by a restaurant, they could see or alter exchanges between the user and protected sites such as Gmail and Facebook. Governments with access to telecom carrier data could do the same.

"It's as bad as you could imagine, that's all I can say," said Johns Hopkins University cryptography professor Matthew Green.

Apple did not say when or how it learned about the flaw in the way iOS handles sessions in what are known as secure sockets layer or transport layer security, nor did it say whether the flaw was being exploited.

But a statement on its support website was blunt: The software "failed to validate the authenticity of the connection."

Apple released software patches and an update for the current version of iOS for iPhone 4 and later, 5th-generation iPod touches, and iPad 2 and later.

Without the fix, a hacker could impersonate a protected site and sit in the middle as email or financial data goes between the user and the real site, Green said.

After analyzing the patch, several security researchers said the same flaw existed in current versions of Mac OSX, running Apple laptop and desktop computers. No patch is available yet for that operating system, though one is expected soon.

Because spies and hackers will also be studying the patch, they could develop programs to take advantage of the flaw within days or even hours.

The issue is a "fundamental bug in Apple's SSL implementation," said Dmitri Alperovich, chief technology officer at security firm CrowdStrike Inc. Adam Langley, a senior engineer at Google, agreed with CrowdStrike that OS X was at risk.

Apple did not reply to requests for comment. The flaw appears to be in the way that well-understood protocols were implemented, an embarrassing lapse for a company of Apple's stature and technical prowess.

The company was recently stung by leaked intelligence documents claiming that authorities had 100 percent success rate in breaking into iPhones.

Friday's news suggests that enterprising hackers could have had great success as well if they knew of the flaw.

Samsung to unveil first smartwatches with own Tizen platform

 Samsung Electronics Co (005930.KS) is to unveil on Sunday its first wearable smartwatch powered by its Tizen platform in its latest attempt to distance itself from Google Inc (GOOG.O) and enhance its software and services.

Samsung has been jointly developing its mobile platform with Intel Corp (INTC.O), as the dominance of Google's free Android software, which Samsung uses for its Galaxy line of products, continues to grow and is now used in almost 80 percent of the global smartphone market.

The South Korean company is due to unveil two new smartwatches on Sunday, less than six months after it introduced the Galaxy Gear wristwatch, then running on Android, to prove that it is more than just a fast follower in innovation behind rival Apple Inc (AAPL.O).

The Galaxy Gear wristwatch has been criticised for its clunky design and difficult-to-use features.

The launch also underscores Samsung's desire to come up with new products to revive slowing momentum in its mobile business, the tech giant's biggest earnings driver, as sales of high-end smartphones have eased in many advanced markets.

For the new Galaxy Gear 2 and Neo 2, to be unveiled at an annual trade fair in Barcelona on Sunday, Samsung has not significantly upgraded the hardware on offer.

Instead, it has moved a camera to the watch's main body from the strap and added a couple of enhanced software offerings such as remote TV controlling, a fitness features like heart rate monitoring, and a standalone music player function, Samsung said in a statement.

The Neo does not have a camera.

The new devices, which will be followed by Samsung's new flagship smartphone to be announced on Monday, will go on sale globally in April.

Nokia working on 3 Android smartphones

While it is widely expected that Nokia will unveil its first Android smartphone - Nokia X - next week at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014, it is rumoured that the company has more Android handsets in the works.

According to a report by Chinese technology website tech.qq.com, internal emails leaked by sources at Silicon Valley company Artesyn technologies say that Nokia is working on two Android smartphones other than Nokia X. While one has been codenamed Nokia XX, the codename of the other model is not yet known. The former will be positioned above the entry-level Nokia X, while the latter will be a high-end handset. The specifications of these two models are not yet known.

While Nokia has already started working on these two Android smartphones, they are not expected to be unveiled at MWC. In fact, it is said that the manufacturer will launch X only to see the market response to its first Android smartphone.

All three Android smartphones by Nokia are expected to hit the market in May-June. Nokia X is said to cost approximately $110.

The Finnish manufacturer is widely expected to unveil the Nokia X on February 24. The device is said to have a 4-inch screen with 800x480p resolution and run on 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor. It will have 512MB RAM, 5MP rear camera, Bluetooth 4.0, Android 4.4 (KitKat) operating system and 4GB internal storage. It is said to be a dual-sim smartphone and come in six colour options.

While Nokia X will run on Android, it will have a customized user interface and will not have access to Google Play Store and the apps available on the platform. Speculation is rife that Nokia and Microsoft will put their own set of apps - such as Facebook, Twitter and Here Maps - on the device via a proprietary app store, much like Amazon does on Kindle Fire range of tablets.

HTC One Android 4.4 KitKat Update Details Trickle Out

HTC One Android 4.4 KitKat update details continue to trickle out ahead of its release. This time, its HTC One Developer Edition users that are the benefactors as HTC has confirmed that the device, at some point, will get the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat, Android 4.4.2 KitKat, an update that rolled out to Nexus users last week.
In November, HTC confirmed a series of Android 4.4 KitKat updates. Within 15 days, it would release the HTC One Google Play Edition Android 4.4 update. Within 30 days, it would unleash the HTC One Developer Edition Android 4.4 update. And within 90 days, the regular old HTC One Android 4.4 KitKat update would emerge.

Thus far, HTC has kept its word. The HTC One Google Edition not only received Android 4.4 but it recently received Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the latest version of the software. The HTC One Developer Edition is currently running Android 4.4 KitKat but it should be getting another update at some point in the future.

HTC’s Mo Versi has confirmed that the company plans to upgrade the HTC One Developer Edition to Android 4.4.2 KitKat at some point down the road. He claims that he will release details on the timing though exactly when he will do that is unclear. The update isn’t likely to be a big one but like the HTC One Google Play Android 4.4.2 update, it should have some bug fixes on board.

This announcement is just another HTC One Android 4.4 KitKat update domino that has fallen in the past few weeks. Recently, HTC confirmed that the Android 4.4 KitKat updates rolling out to U.S. users in January would be Android 4.4.2 KitKat updates and that they would have Sense 5.5 on board. Sense 5.5 brings enhancements to BlinkFeed and Zoe.
The company continues to claims a January release date for regular HTC One devices though the company has held back on offering a specific release date. Whatever the case, it looks like HTC will upgrade all of its HTC One models with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, Google’s latest and greatest version of KitKat.
