:00:39. > :00:44.dumbbell, gives you exercise in the office, genius. This week, Click

:00:44. > :00:51.looks at some of the ideas that might actually make it as we visit

:00:51. > :00:55.London's ever-expanding start-up cluster, Tech City. We retreat to

:00:55. > :00:58.the English countryside enjoying the aristocracy in the hunt for the

:00:59. > :01:02.next big thing. The latest techniques, and if your computer is

:01:02. > :01:12.struggling under all of its software, we have a great way on

:01:12. > :01:12.

:01:12. > :01:16.how to wipe the slate clean. Welcome to Click. This week, we are

:01:16. > :01:20.wrinkly's home town, central London, the largest city in Europe and the

:01:21. > :01:24.most cosmopolitan as well. Over 300 languages are spoken year and maybe

:01:24. > :01:30.that is why every year, thousands flocked to London in search of

:01:30. > :01:35.wealth and power. But quite a few of them end up over there, London's

:01:35. > :01:39.quite famous painting Harb, the one that everyone really loves at the

:01:39. > :01:44.moment. They now, a new type of business is starting to steal the

:01:44. > :01:47.limelight and he is all happening here, less than a mile north of the

:01:47. > :01:54.financial district and yet the centre of it all is this -

:01:54. > :01:58.roundabouts. Yes, it is a roundabout and not a pretty one

:01:58. > :02:04.either. This part of town, officially dubbed Tech City is

:02:04. > :02:07.where Britain's young technology brains come to turn their ideas

:02:07. > :02:12.into million-dollar businesses. In the shadows of the city's high-

:02:12. > :02:18.flyers, this less glamourous part of town has become a hotbed for

:02:18. > :02:27.tech talent. So much so that locals began to refer to the area as the

:02:27. > :02:33.silicon roundabout. But as it began attracting real money, it also were

:02:33. > :02:37.track did real attention. -- attracted. The Tech City is the

:02:37. > :02:42.same, a great part of tech businesses and we can create

:02:42. > :02:46.something really grates in east London. But, no matter where you

:02:46. > :02:50.are based, being a successful take start-up can be a bit of a puzzle.

:02:50. > :02:55.And you need to fit several pieces together to make it all work. A

:02:55. > :03:02.good idea would be to start with a good idea. And the founders of

:03:02. > :03:09.Tictrac think that they have had one. Their website is designed to

:03:09. > :03:12.pull together the enormous amount of data that we create every day as

:03:12. > :03:17.we him now, tweet, post and even Jock and presented back to us in an

:03:17. > :03:21.easy to digest, like a personal Statistics report. This

:03:21. > :03:25.proliferation of personal data, has enabled a world where we can pull

:03:25. > :03:27.that information in a way that is important to us and start

:03:27. > :03:32.understanding ourselves and our has other things about ourselves that

:03:32. > :03:38.we never knew. Examples like crossing your runs with the weather

:03:38. > :03:43.and seeing that you run better on days when it is 18 degrees. And

:03:43. > :03:47.maybe you had that affected by your diet. Once you have had your you

:03:47. > :03:51.read the moment, you will need to minor ties it. Potential investors

:03:51. > :03:56.want to see that you have a business plan. Tictrac is trying to

:03:56. > :04:02.sell a Norman at -- Anonymous, comprehensive statistical data at

:04:02. > :04:07.two companies said they can they advertise their products. But until

:04:07. > :04:11.it hits the big time, Tictrac is combine to the corner of a share of

:04:11. > :04:16.the space. There is one location in London where fledgling

:04:16. > :04:21.entrepreneurs can potentially put together two more pieces of the

:04:21. > :04:26.puzzle, at Google Campus. The only condition for entry is a keen

:04:26. > :04:32.interest in technology. Strange as it may sound, Google itself was the

:04:32. > :04:35.start of just 14 years ago, working out of a garage in California. This

:04:35. > :04:39.campus is apparently its way of giving something back to the

:04:39. > :04:44.community that it once belonged to. This place is all about bringing

:04:44. > :04:48.the right mix of people together under one roof, somewhere that the

:04:48. > :04:52.next generation of the Incas and to increase can intervene to network,

:04:53. > :04:57.innovate and more importantly, find a way to get noticed and funded.

:04:57. > :05:00.Eze Vidra is the man in charge here and he is the only Google person on

:05:00. > :05:04.the campus. The campus has been around for two-and-a-half months

:05:04. > :05:08.and it is the first time that Google has done anything like this

:05:08. > :05:15.anywhere in the world. It is a building filled with start-ups and

:05:15. > :05:19.it is a non-profit activities. Their great benefits, 25% of the

:05:19. > :05:23.London Office volunteer to help a Google Campus. We have developer

:05:23. > :05:29.relations people supporting entrepreneurs and their arch using

:05:29. > :05:32.Google technology is whether giving them the tools and support. It is

:05:32. > :05:36.the right or reality that these start-ups will use Google's

:05:36. > :05:40.technology to build their businesses rather than anyone

:05:40. > :05:45.else's. I would not say that is an intention, it is a side effect. If

:05:45. > :05:50.you like choosing to use Google, by Virgil are the fact that you will

:05:50. > :05:55.be based in campers, you can speak with the people that are developing

:05:55. > :06:00.crime and android. Growing the system will benefit Google and

:06:00. > :06:06.other internet companies. We need to build successful internet

:06:06. > :06:12.businesses and that will benefit Google in the long run. Some stars

:06:12. > :06:18.are seen the campers opt for more than just free access to the cafe,

:06:18. > :06:23.super-fast wi-fi and a host of them. Here is an idea, you are

:06:23. > :06:28.driving somewhere and it is just you, see you have three spare seats

:06:28. > :06:32.in the car, so why not rent them out? Found a Drummond Gilbert is

:06:32. > :06:37.paying for one of the 90 per minute spaces available here which is

:06:37. > :06:40.something that he finds invaluable. -- permanent. One of the things

:06:40. > :06:44.that is really useful is that when you are working in isolation, you

:06:44. > :06:47.can come up with ideas that you think are really good but the most

:06:47. > :06:51.important thing is to have feedback from other people, are you taking

:06:51. > :06:55.this in the right direction? There is a whole start up mentality,

:06:55. > :07:00.changing ideas, learning from your mistakes, learning from the

:07:00. > :07:03.feedback of customers. It is just trying to get into the start a

:07:03. > :07:08.mentality, and to speak to other people in start-ups and to have

:07:08. > :07:12.done it before, that is really valuable. Users log on to the site

:07:12. > :07:17.using their Facebook ID, so fellow passengers can get to know each

:07:17. > :07:27.other before a trip, which should ensure that you do not hitch a ride

:07:27. > :07:31.

:07:31. > :07:36.with anybody with unsavoury habits. How low. Agreeing on a road trip

:07:36. > :07:41.play list may be more tricky. not sure that I can pay you for

:07:41. > :07:46.this. Oh, the 70s, remember them? What do you mean no, how old are

:07:46. > :07:50.you? Another piece of the start a puzzle is technology itself. If

:07:50. > :07:54.current technology is not yet up to the job, your right you will just

:07:54. > :08:02.have to wait and that is something that the founders of MakieLab know

:08:02. > :08:07.all too well. Users come to their side to create their own bespoke

:08:07. > :08:11.dolls which then get produced by a 3 D Printer. Each body part is

:08:11. > :08:16.printed separately and then put together later. Even the tiny

:08:16. > :08:21.outfits are hand-made in one corner of the office but 3 D printing is

:08:21. > :08:29.still very expensive and the message in what it can produce.

:08:29. > :08:34.the moment, with nylon powder, it is porcelain white, so it literally

:08:34. > :08:39.a AMY develops in white, so we need to work with the manufacturers. You

:08:39. > :08:45.cannot just go and buy coloured plastic powder, which is weird. It

:08:45. > :08:48.is in traditional A B S plastic, for instance, which is the plastic

:08:48. > :08:53.used in led her -- Lego, you can have in colour you like. That needs

:08:53. > :08:57.to change and the prices need to come down. MakieLab now has funding

:08:58. > :09:04.but for many start-ups, the last piece of the puzzle may be the

:09:04. > :09:08.hardest to find. Investors want big returns for their cash so your BYD

:09:08. > :09:13.will need to be popular enough to attract lots of users or any show

:09:13. > :09:17.enough to attract large fees from just a sea view. But once a

:09:17. > :09:22.business grows up, London's Tech City faces yet another challenge.

:09:22. > :09:27.Unlike Silicon Valley, this is a densely popular area of their --

:09:27. > :09:31.widow room for expansion of any kind. The government has suggested

:09:31. > :09:35.that everyone migrates to the Olympic Park, if, and it is a bee

:09:35. > :09:40.is, it's the Tech City start-ups don't mind leaving central London,

:09:40. > :09:45.and after all, wasn't that the point of being there in the first

:09:45. > :09:52.place? Do you think that London really can compete with Silicon

:09:52. > :10:00.Valley? Why not let us know. You can even send us a letter if you

:10:00. > :10:07.really want to. Although quite frankly, I have absolutely no idea

:10:07. > :10:10.where the post comes in. This week's tech news. Microsoft putts

:10:10. > :10:14.boss Steve Ballmer says that Windows aid will be available to

:10:14. > :10:17.consumers at the end of October. During its partner conference, he

:10:17. > :10:21.said that Microsoft would fight Apple on all fronts they refused to

:10:21. > :10:25.be drawn on where they his company would make its own smart phone.

:10:26. > :10:31.Here is a fight that Apple has already last -- Samsung's Galaxy

:10:31. > :10:39.Tab can be sold in Britain. A UK High Court judge rejected Apple's

:10:39. > :10:43.claim that the Galaxy two closely resembled the iPad, and he said it

:10:43. > :10:48.does not have the simple and understated design. Myer are

:10:48. > :10:54.gaining is making the leap from small screen and sets to big-screen

:10:54. > :10:58.TV is. A $99 huggable games console raise $2 million in investment in

:10:58. > :11:03.just two days with the help of a crowd funding side which this week

:11:03. > :11:08.announced that it is launching in the UK later this year. The set-top

:11:08. > :11:15.box will sport a quad Cork graphics processor and run a version of the

:11:15. > :11:22.Android smart phone operating systems. Clubs which help hearing-

:11:22. > :11:26.impaired people communicate, have won Microsoft's Imagine Cup, they

:11:26. > :11:32.talked Wace might find out which translates data into automated

:11:32. > :11:36.speech. They are the invention of three Ukrainian students, which saw

:11:36. > :11:41.of three off -- salt 350 competitors to take gold at the

:11:41. > :11:45.annual event. Now, we have already seen a few rabbits looking to

:11:45. > :11:50.establish a foothold on the ladder of entrepreneurial success. But

:11:50. > :12:00.there are not know it -- many others that are a few rungs up.

:12:00. > :12:09.They just need to get on the ladder. There are some unconventional

:12:09. > :12:13.avenues to pursue. Forget cramped office space and a big city, they

:12:13. > :12:18.are the real deals, this is the real deal, the so-called founders

:12:18. > :12:21.Forum. The setting, a quintessentially English retreat

:12:21. > :12:25.and on a quintessentially English summer's day, it is indoors that we

:12:25. > :12:30.find the main event, a kind of networking Super summit. In the

:12:30. > :12:37.inner sanctum, the first-class lounge, the established a lead of

:12:37. > :12:41.the business and Digital Media World, start the day on digital

:12:41. > :12:47.progress, where is bubbling and where to invest next? They want to

:12:47. > :12:54.look down the corridor, for the first time on the -- in history,

:12:54. > :12:57.the place where they share the stories and battle scars of start-

:12:57. > :13:02.up life. They're Kia precisely because they have already shown

:13:02. > :13:12.their mettle. Start-ups they may be, upstarts they are most definitely

:13:12. > :13:14.

:13:24. > :13:26.interesting. And companies you're the right stage. Usually one to a

:13:26. > :13:34.heading towards that similar problem of growth and how to cope

:13:34. > :13:39.with it. Mid-morning, a chance for investors and invest used to mix.

:13:39. > :13:46.It is a potent cocktail of skill and experience, raw ambition and

:13:46. > :13:53.drive. This is that working on an exclusive scale. From tech royalty

:13:53. > :13:59.through to bona fide loyalty. -- loyalty to. And many recognisable

:13:59. > :14:05.names in between. I wanted the sort of event where I would personally

:14:06. > :14:14.be intimidated. With the cover of People is fantastic. That was one

:14:14. > :14:19.of the aspirations. -- where the car lot of people. This kind of

:14:19. > :14:27.event Wells down to two things. Relationship building and big ideas.

:14:27. > :14:31.A place for the entrepreneurial aristocracy to shed the public mask

:14:31. > :14:35.and commune on a more personal setting. And with the young bucks

:14:35. > :14:40.hope to get fast-track into the major league. One way of doing that

:14:40. > :14:46.is by showcasing their inventions. On display, everything from

:14:46. > :14:56.portable printers to tablet controlled balls. More useful

:14:56. > :14:57.

:14:57. > :15:02.mobile services include something that brings was guided services.

:15:02. > :15:07.For its creator, simply being here is toppled. It is a great way to

:15:07. > :15:16.tell people what we do and for other businesses to learn about us.

:15:16. > :15:23.Even here, there is the opportunity to be first among equals. This

:15:23. > :15:30.person created a service for automated complaints. This is an

:15:30. > :15:40.immense opportunity. I could not dream of coming here. Thanks to the

:15:40. > :15:44.founders Forum, I got the opportunity. I'm very pleased.

:15:44. > :15:51.about the founders? What is in it for them? Of this man created a

:15:51. > :15:57.company you may have heard of. Surely, he would be advocating the

:15:57. > :16:06.use of Wickham's? Apparently not. There are many people I am only

:16:06. > :16:12.meet once a year. If there is a business deal and need to do with

:16:12. > :16:18.that person, it is much easier to e-mail them will call them, but you

:16:18. > :16:28.also make new contacts. You can make sure you establish a contact

:16:28. > :16:28.

:16:28. > :16:33.with a person, perhaps an entrepreneur or away -- an investor.

:16:33. > :16:39.But there is also serendipity to meet a random person at the lunch

:16:39. > :16:43.table. It could lead to an investment. Some success stories

:16:43. > :16:50.here were beneficiaries of people who invested in them. Like this man

:16:50. > :16:59.who started a media sharing side. It is always good to sit back,

:16:59. > :17:03.relax and reflect. Sometimes you spend too much time in the Optus

:17:03. > :17:08.and you may not be necessarily heading in the right direction. But

:17:08. > :17:13.coming to events like this, they can help you realign your thinking.

:17:13. > :17:23.For the start-ups, that is good enough. Plenty of inspiration and a

:17:23. > :17:23.

:17:23. > :17:29.goodie bag to bank the memories of a day will spend.

:17:29. > :17:35.And -- well spent. We will be examining the start-up seen from

:17:35. > :17:43.many different angles. If you are a tinkerer when it comes

:17:43. > :17:50.to your computer, you may often be like flattening your hard drive and

:17:50. > :17:54.starting again. Reformat in the hall -- whole thing and spending

:17:54. > :18:03.ages reinstalling everything. If you're faced with that in the next

:18:03. > :18:08.few weeks, spend a few minutes' listening to Kate Russell.

:18:08. > :18:18.No-one looks forward to a clean and re-install. But there are ways you

:18:18. > :18:21.can make it less painful. I'm not talking about a pillow on the desk.

:18:21. > :18:31.When it comes to reinstalling all those bits of software no computer

:18:31. > :18:33.

:18:33. > :18:35.can do without, this is a beast. Tickle the programmes you want and

:18:35. > :18:45.the website will make an installer that will take care of it for

:18:45. > :18:49.Europe. -- fled Europe. It checks for update each time you run it. It

:18:49. > :18:54.is like having an insanely efficient IT guy living inside your

:18:54. > :19:00.computer. It beats sitting there for Alice clicking dialogue boxes

:19:00. > :19:03.yourself. -- will alleys. The list of software is quite comprehensive

:19:03. > :19:09.for the Windows version and there is a slender collection for Linux

:19:09. > :19:18.users. There is an enterprise upgrade if software management is

:19:18. > :19:25.your business, and if you don't mind paying $10, you can get a
