impetuous but I think I am falling in love with you. Our love with

:00:25.:00:33.

each other is like two long shadows kissing.

:00:33.:00:42.

This week, love is in the air but can mobile apps really made Cupid

Kelly. I am in fact Kate Russell, taking over the helm while he has a

:01:08.:01:13.

well deserved break. It is that special time of year again.

:01:13.:01:16.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, a day when lovelorn

:01:17.:01:22.

singletons across the world usually feel more isolated than ever.

:01:22.:01:27.

Luckily, Kew but now comes in several digital incarnations,

:01:27.:01:32.

always on hand to help us locate a perfect partner. But is it a good

:01:32.:01:36.

idea for us to have our head in the clouds especially when we have no

:01:36.:01:45.

real idea who it is we are speaking to? We went to have a look at love.

:01:45.:01:51.

Date tonight. Again. Some of the predate rituals and routines may be

:01:51.:01:57.

strikingly familiar. But the way we are going about finding a soulmate

:01:57.:02:02.

is changing beyond recognition. If we are to believe the hype, one in

:02:02.:02:07.

five UK relationships begins on the internet. Established whether

:02:07.:02:11.

players are raising their game. E- Harmony claims to have developed a

:02:11.:02:19.

romance algorithm, if you can be bothered to answer 256 questions.

:02:19.:02:24.

And this cross-platform offering is enjoying huge reach with over 50

:02:24.:02:29.

million subscribers in over 70 countries. But it is the rise of

:02:29.:02:32.

social media that is creating the real buzz these days, making

:02:32.:02:37.

landing a catch easier than ever. Thing is - online dating is no

:02:37.:02:41.

longer taboo. It is now a multi- billion dollar business. Gone are

:02:42.:02:46.

the days when it was just about finding a flattering photograph and

:02:46.:02:52.

writing a decent profile. Now, you can do so much more. Turning to

:02:52.:02:56.

technology does not have universal appeal. Many people might not be

:02:56.:03:01.

very genuine and certainly would not be looking for something that

:03:01.:03:06.

is healthy. Meeting on the internet is like meeting in a bar. You have

:03:06.:03:11.

the same kind of anticipation and excitement and then the rejection

:03:11.:03:17.

and the unwanted advances. Yes, it is exactly the same. They put their

:03:17.:03:21.

best photo of a profile but when you meet them in person, will they

:03:21.:03:27.

look like that? I am not sure. Board of the fruitless flirtations

:03:27.:03:32.

online dating had brought him, one man's quest for love has prompted

:03:33.:03:37.

him to create an application to come to the rescue. A wasted so

:03:37.:03:41.

much time on dates where people did not look like their photographs,

:03:41.:03:48.

they came across different way. I wanted to take that and tap into

:03:48.:03:53.

the age-old wisdom that we have all what -- always met someone in

:03:53.:03:58.

common through friends and families through Facebook. We used Facebook

:03:58.:04:03.

to find out which of your friends' friends are single. And which can

:04:03.:04:09.

be recommended for you. The website has not launched yet and as an opt-

:04:09.:04:13.

in service, its success will depend on the willingness of Facebook

:04:13.:04:17.

users to sign up. That was a problem that faced American start

:04:17.:04:22.

of Europe. The service tapped into your Facebook result, setting you

:04:22.:04:25.

up with the friends of friends based on similar lights and music

:04:25.:04:30.

tastes. After initial interest comic plateaued and its technology

:04:30.:04:36.

was sold off. This website also look to fate took -- Facebook to

:04:36.:04:40.

get your single friends. The idea is to get a network of single

:04:40.:04:47.

people but it has struggled to make a dent. Many people felt it was too

:04:47.:04:52.

invasive. Facebook is generational in how people use it and what they

:04:52.:04:55.

will share. Younger people are fiercely protective of their

:04:55.:05:01.

privacy, believe it or not, and they want to keep their digital

:05:01.:05:07.

social lives separate from what they perceive to be a very private

:05:07.:05:11.

space in online dating. Soon, you may not need applications or dating

:05:12.:05:16.

sites at all as Facebook's new graph search could make meeting

:05:16.:05:20.

singletons with shared interests very easy. And the other platform

:05:20.:05:28.

we cannot forget. Twitter. Valentine's Day sees the launch of

:05:28.:05:31.

a system that gets you flirting with the Twitterati for a

:05:31.:05:37.

customised search box. It is not all about social media. For a real

:05:38.:05:44.

life rendezvous, location is everything. The term does not

:05:44.:05:47.

exactly roll off the tongue but geosocial networking has seen

:05:47.:05:52.

millions signing up to applications that rely on your GPS location to

:05:52.:05:56.

introduce you to people nearby. Heaven forbid you would actually

:05:56.:06:03.

introduce yourself to real living people in the same room. Grindr is

:06:03.:06:07.

an application targeting gay and bisexual men. It alerts you of up

:06:07.:06:12.

to 300 other Grindr uses in their immediate area. Over the past three

:06:12.:06:16.

years, it has enjoyed phenomenal success along with Blendr, its

:06:16.:06:22.

sister site open to everyone. Of the well-established websites like

:06:22.:06:25.

OKCupid are also putting geosocial family at their core. If you have

:06:25.:06:30.

the time, the locals feature broadcasts your availability to

:06:30.:06:35.

local people here by. But one question remains - how safe are

:06:35.:06:41.

these applications? GPS-enabled dating applications. People know

:06:41.:06:44.

that you are explicitly looking to hook up. All that you are

:06:45.:06:49.

explicitly looking to date and for some people, that can put them in a

:06:49.:06:54.

dangerous situation. Apply common sense and logic. You are probably

:06:54.:07:00.

in slightly more danger if you are not being careful. They do allow

:07:00.:07:05.

you to turn off your location and block those you might want to avoid

:07:05.:07:09.

but leaving on the tracking could in some circumstances make way for

:07:09.:07:13.

stalking. The risks of online dating are not confined to the

:07:13.:07:18.

latest geosocial applications. Last month, a woman in the US filed a

:07:18.:07:22.

$10 million lawsuit against Match .com, alleging that they do not do

:07:22.:07:26.

enough to safeguard their members after a man she met on the internet

:07:26.:07:31.

but it did to murder her. Match .com says the lawsuit is absurd and

:07:31.:07:36.

that this is about a sick, twisted individual with no prior criminal

:07:36.:07:41.

record, not an entire community of men and women looking to meet each

:07:41.:07:47.

other. Match .com has safety advice pages, a feature to report abuses.

:07:47.:07:52.

Its terms and conditions page says it has no responsibility for bodily

:07:52.:07:57.

injury. For many solicitors, it is a happy ending. But it is a

:07:57.:08:01.

reminder that for better or for worse, what starts as frivolous

:08:01.:08:06.

online fun can have real world offline consequences. Swapping

:08:06.:08:12.

Tudor's bow for a browser. Time for the latest Tech News.

:08:12.:08:16.

The European IT commissioner has outlined a security strategy

:08:16.:08:20.

recommending companies in key sectors like banking and health to

:08:20.:08:24.

report cyber attacks. Some businesses are worried that will

:08:24.:08:28.

create a reputation damage at it comes in the midst of a renewed

:08:28.:08:31.

assault by the Anonymous hacking collective on American institutions,

:08:31.:08:35.

the latest being the Federal Reserve, where the stolen details

:08:35.:08:39.

of 4,000 bank executives were published earlier this month.

:08:39.:08:45.

It was first seen last month but while way has stepped back their

:08:45.:08:48.

ascent to smartphone to appeal to the African market. The Chinese

:08:48.:08:52.

handset maker already has a popular Android handset on the continent

:08:52.:08:55.

but this time around, his smartphone will feature a Windows

:08:55.:09:00.

mobile operating system, complete with an African focused Apple store.

:09:00.:09:07.

It is part of Microsoft's wider initiative to make inroads into the

:09:07.:09:12.

region. Forget Facebook credits, enter Amazon coins. The online

:09:12.:09:16.

retailer's a virtual currency will first be used on the Kindle Fire

:09:16.:09:20.

tablet to make online purchases. To help drive up take, the retail

:09:20.:09:25.

giant will give away millions for free ahead of the US launched in

:09:25.:09:30.

May. Finally, a kick-start a star eath

:09:30.:09:36.

star has flat up pledges of over $100,000 in just two days. The

:09:36.:09:39.

project was launched after the US government rejected an online

:09:39.:09:43.

position to build the infamous Battle station. There is still some

:09:43.:09:49.

way to go before the project gets under way. $30 million just for the

:09:49.:09:56.

plants. 850 Quadri and dollars to get it into space - give or take.

:09:56.:10:01.

Last week, we reported on BlackBerry's attempt to reignite

:10:01.:10:05.

interest in its once-popular range of smartphones. Recently, there

:10:05.:10:10.

have been two familiar names entering the mobile race. Five Fox

:10:10.:10:17.

and Ubuntu. Do these newcomers really have a chance against each

:10:17.:10:24.

other? All Black Broome and the two for life, Apple and Google Android?

:10:24.:10:33.

-- or BlackBerry? We will look at fire Fox later in the year, but it

:10:33.:10:37.

could face an uphill struggle against this, Ubuntu. Simply

:10:37.:10:41.

because of the fact that many people already know their way

:10:41.:10:45.

around to the well-established PC version. As you might expect from a

:10:46.:10:49.

new phone operation system, it comes with a new way of doing

:10:49.:10:54.

things. The phone has no buttons at all. Launch applications, spike

:10:54.:10:59.

between them -- switch between them by swiping to different sides of

:10:59.:11:03.

her the screen. Both fire Fox and Ubuntu are open sores and free and

:11:03.:11:07.

for that reason, they are both already popular in the developing

:11:07.:11:10.

world. The first phones for each operating system will be aimed at

:11:10.:11:15.

those wanting cheap, low-powered smartphones. Whereas fire foxed

:11:15.:11:23.

fans will and the target Viva Las - - the developing world, Ubuntu will

:11:23.:11:27.

also release high and phones. These might be the only computing devices

:11:27.:11:37.
:11:37.:11:43.

We have a vision that your smartphone can be your thing for a

:11:43.:11:48.

whole set of things. If you cut your smartphone you can have and

:11:48.:11:52.

should have a full PC working experience. But you're also

:11:52.:11:57.

concentrating on the low end of the market? Exactly. When we first ship

:11:57.:12:03.

a product it will likely be one of these lean smartphones. That will

:12:03.:12:06.

be an entry-level smartphone, targeted at people using futures

:12:06.:12:10.

phones now and want to get into a smartphone. Or emerging markets

:12:10.:12:16.

where it is somebody's first bone, or even first computer in some ways.

:12:16.:12:20.

-- first phone. Why would that be better than a low end Android

:12:20.:12:25.

phone? For those consumers, who are interested in an entry-level

:12:25.:12:34.

smartphone, it offers a high class beautiful stunning use experience -

:12:34.:12:37.

- user experience on the level of phone appropriate for their budget

:12:37.:12:42.

for their needs. Every maker of smartphones boasts their operating

:12:42.:12:46.

system is the best looking and the most intuitive and the easiest to

:12:46.:12:51.

use. Why d'you think the Ubuntu smartphone will be any of those

:12:51.:12:55.

things? We have a design principle, if you can see information on a

:12:55.:13:02.

screen you should be able to action it right away. For example where

:13:02.:13:05.

you see the wifi indicator, when you pull that down from the top,

:13:05.:13:10.

turning it on and off is a very limited capability. Normally when

:13:10.:13:14.

you want to look at your wifi you're trying to pick a different

:13:14.:13:18.

access point or change networks. We provide the ability to do that

:13:18.:13:22.

right from the indicator. The messaging menu again with an

:13:22.:13:27.

indicator at the top, when you pull that down you can from that exact

:13:27.:13:33.

spot reply to messages, call people back. You don't have to go into

:13:33.:13:38.

another application to perform that function. It's clearly what you

:13:38.:13:42.

want to do. This is an advantage that will come in late to the

:13:42.:13:47.

market, you can see what everybody has done and you can see their

:13:47.:13:51.

mistakes -- that will come from coming in late. That is part of it

:13:51.:13:57.

and part of it is innovation from our own design and development

:13:57.:14:03.

teams. The technology inside as the cars

:14:03.:14:08.

has changed immeasurably over the last few years. -- our cars. With

:14:08.:14:11.

ever more powerful computing now tucked away inside the upholstery.

:14:11.:14:15.

We sent Ian Hardy out with MacBook and pen to hand to collect the

:14:15.:14:25.
:14:25.:14:30.

latest ideas. It can't be easy constantly coming

:14:30.:14:35.

up with new ideas that redefine the way we interact with our vehicles.

:14:35.:14:40.

Past a certain point, safety laws regulations and common sense start

:14:40.:14:44.

to kick in. That's why driver side TV screens and texting were just

:14:44.:14:50.

two concepts that took us one step forward and two steps back. But

:14:50.:14:56.

sometimes removing tech reveals a whole new opportunity. CD players

:14:56.:15:01.

are slowly disappearing from the dashboard, and maybe that's why FM

:15:01.:15:05.

radio is writhing in popularity again. But if you have got a

:15:05.:15:09.

connected smartphone IndyCar broadcasters can now overlaid

:15:09.:15:15.

adverts from the by businesses and guide you there with GPS. You will

:15:15.:15:21.

never miss another special sale ever again. What the application is

:15:21.:15:24.

doing behind the scenes is embedding a bit of software under

:15:24.:15:28.

the system and then when they have the software they have access to a

:15:28.:15:32.

programme allowing them to in Sir adverts that interact through the

:15:32.:15:35.

internet, beamed to the smartphone and you get it through the radio

:15:35.:15:41.

system -- inserts. Mobile devices are becoming central to the

:15:41.:15:47.

automotive experience. So much so both Ford and GM have developed a

:15:47.:15:54.

website to encourage the creation of car-centric apps. The need for

:15:54.:15:58.

speed on portable gadgets comes with a need for juice. Wireless

:15:58.:16:01.

charging is nothing new, but Delphi are developing a method that will

:16:01.:16:05.

allow devices to be powered passively from base stations that

:16:05.:16:09.

are further away than current models. The idea is that the driver

:16:09.:16:12.

will never have to fumble around and the kids can keep their

:16:12.:16:17.

entertainment up and running right to the end of the trip. You manage

:16:17.:16:22.

how much power is totally available to the system. We can look at the

:16:22.:16:25.

system or the mobile device that needs the power the most, and

:16:25.:16:29.

switch off the ones that don't need the power and power up the ones

:16:29.:16:33.

that are the least charged. then of course we have started to

:16:33.:16:37.

see cars that are fully automated right down to the steering wheel.

:16:37.:16:44.

After all, how important is the driver really? There's been a lot

:16:44.:16:48.

of interest recently in driverless cars as you can see, there are a

:16:48.:16:51.

few examples of them around the world. But there's one company that

:16:51.:16:55.

has produced a product that can be fitted into your car long after you

:16:55.:16:59.

have bought it and it essentially gives the driver a helping hand, or

:16:59.:17:05.

should I say RAA. The gadget is a smart sensor camera that actually

:17:06.:17:12.

sees in black and white. -- A the unit's strength is down to its on-

:17:12.:17:17.

board processing power and software algorithms that can identify signs,

:17:17.:17:23.

traffic lights, people, pets, you name it! On the right and the Net

:17:23.:17:28.

you can see we are a forward looking solution. -- and the left.

:17:28.:17:32.

We track everything, including if you're driving in a condensed area

:17:32.:17:35.

with hundreds of pedestrians walking on the pavement, we take

:17:35.:17:40.

all of them and everybody has a target number. We know it's

:17:40.:17:44.

somebody runs into the road we can distinguish that. -- if somebody.

:17:44.:17:48.

We don't want to just provide a warning at the right time but also

:17:48.:17:53.

we want to provide a warning when you don't need it -- don't want to

:17:53.:17:57.

provide. Is crash avoidance systems and auto pilot modes become

:17:58.:18:01.

widespread in the future, and there's a good chance they will, it

:18:01.:18:05.

could lead to more screens and information being tolerated and

:18:05.:18:11.

displayed on doors and consoles. So it's very convenient that thanks to

:18:11.:18:15.

innovations in contoured surfaces and touch sensor technology like

:18:15.:18:22.

XSense car interiors could one day look very different. Automotive

:18:22.:18:24.

manufacturers are increasingly interested in putting Dutch

:18:24.:18:30.

solutions in the car. Not just for entertainment but navigation. It it

:18:30.:18:36.

Increasingly car manufacturers want to put touch technology in cars. --

ability to make curved designs. course going overboard on

:18:52.:18:55.

technology will undoubtedly discouraged some people from

:18:55.:18:59.

driving at all. In which case, they might be better off with something

:18:59.:19:08.

a little simpler. Ian Harvey with the driving forces behind our
