-- having repeated. Now on BBC News it is time for | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
Click. I wonder where we are going. This | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
is like an adventure. It is like going on holiday. I love brand-new | :00:21. | :00:31. | |

HDMI cables as well. Who are you? You are my new best friend. | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
The Xbox is about to become an Xbox. This week, Click is in the US to | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
get the 360's 6SR. We will strap on the latest smart watches to find | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
out exactly what makes them tick. All that plus the latest Ten News | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
and a suite of tools to make your home videos look that much better. | :01:05. | :01:14. | |
-- technology news. Welcome to Click. In a couple of weeks' time, | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
the video gaming world will head to Los Angeles for the annual E3 games | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
expo. That this year it is such a bd for gaming, the manufacturers | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
are jumping the gun. Sony has will be teased us with PlayStation 4, | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
and now it is Microsoft's turn to get as excited. As the Xbox 360 | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
prepares for retirement, we have been to Microsoft headquarters to | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
meet its successor. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing a | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Xbox One. With that, Microsoft fired another shot in the never | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
ending war over who can build the best gaming console. Or did it? | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
With more than 100 million Xboxs are sold through the years, there | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
has never been any question that at its core, Xbox was all about the | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
games. But in this round, Microsoft has a bigger and bolder approach to | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
taking housing living rooms hostage. Tim Xbox is on a new mission. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Design and build and all in one system to light up a new generation | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
of games, television and entertainment. It does more than | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
just allow you to score winning goals, drive race cars and shoot | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
down enemies, you can also use it to watch movies and Live TV, listen | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
to music, take a Skype call, even at the same time. And with | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
ambitious content partnerships announced, with a new Halo TV show | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
produced none other by Steven Spielberg himself. The Halo | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
universe, where technology and myth-making meet to produce | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
something really ground-breaking. It is a bit of a stretch to call | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
the Xbox one just a gaming console, isn't it? It is still a gaming | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
console, it is billed by game has, for gamers, that has incorporated | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
new functionality. We have built a product that we can innovate and | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
give create is the opportunity to build amazing new experiences. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Certainly, playing two game as has paid off for Microsoft, it has been | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
flying high for Prof -- from profits from Xbox but with a new | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
offering from Nintendo already out, and one from Sony on the way, media | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
interest in the battle for gaming supremacy in a $65 billion annual | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
market has never been more intense. After all, why else would the Click | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
team joined a gaggle of 200 other journalists to brave the Seattle | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
weather? Did Microsoft capture their attention with its newest | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
weapon? Splashy press conference, splashy announcement. First | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
impressions. I think it is a really interesting product. The Gaming was | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
a bit light but that is always going to happen. I do like the name, | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
because I was iffy about it at first, but it is an all-in-one | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
thing. They want you to have that thing and none -- nothing else. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
you feel that Sony, Nintendo, Apple, Google, will have to be on their | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
toes? It is in the same area as Google TV. Much in the same way | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
that they are going to try and introduce things. Google should be | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
a bit concerned there. Maybe it is Microsoft that should be concerned. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Despite initial favourable reaction, many hard core gameplay has | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
complained about the emphasis on the Xbox's TV capabilities. The | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
company's share price did dropped during the hour-long announcement, | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
while Sony's surged 9%. Investor indifference, maybe. But there are | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
still big question marks hanging over the new device. The new Xbox | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
Mains behind glass, where it will stay until it is available... | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Microsoft has not said. Again, no- one knows how much it will cost. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
The specifics about content deals, how nicely the device will pay it - | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
- will play with cable and will be ready to take full | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
advantage of the new system, especially because you ought Xbox | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
360 games will not work on the Xbox one. Filling out the new box, a | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
Blu-ray tribe. 8 gigs of RAM and a 500 gig hard drive. Though | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Microsoft it did not spend much time talking about technology specs, | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
it would take time away from the pretty pro duct pictures. Give them | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
some credit for actually showing us their device. A feat that Sony | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
spectacularly failed to match at their own rort event for the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
PlayStation 4, event the teaser video, adding precious little to | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
what we do know about the form factor. But this console war is not | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
just about the boxers themselves, it is partly behind -- about the | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
accessories. Microsoft has caught up reinforcements, in the form of a | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
new Kinect, which will be bundled with every Xbox one. Such an | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
integral part is the improved Kinect interface. It has been | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
redesigned with more invested 3D capabilities which allow for better | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
gameplay, and it a more accurate Kinect. It is the height of | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
enhanced interface which can recognise individual users and | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
serve up content customised to their interests and a viewing | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
habits. Its camera allows it to see in the dark, with vastly improved | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
3D imagery which should help it better understand a user's physical | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
input. With Kinect's improved voice recognition capabilities, couch- | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
potato as do not have to search for the remote to do something as | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
change the channel. Microsoft swears that the Xbox one his first | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
and foremost a gaming console. Exclusive titles and two | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
beautifully show us the system's graphics. EA Sports used at the | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
event to demonstrate a new gaming system that should use every -- | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
which should make every footballer tool. It would deliver bonus game | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
content or so. Competitors and gamers around the world, you have | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
been put on notice. Microsoft intends to protect its turf. It is | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
an unviable to devise. It will give you the best game experience, it | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
will connect you with your friends, all the things that to love. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Mission accomplished? The battle rages on. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
Are you are excited by it -- by what you had just seen? Email us | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
and let us know. In a couple of weeks' time, we will be going to | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
eat three to hear much more from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. -- 2 | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
E three. Yahoo has bought up blogging site | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Tumblr for $1 billion plus some small change. They hope it will | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
open up a new audience to its online products. And make it cool | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
again. Yahoo's boss means that most things will be unchanged, promising | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
not to screw it up, but she wants to introduce more seamless | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
advertising. It comes as Yahoo has made significant changes to its | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
other big passions, Flickr is to upgrade its uses to 41 terabyte | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
storage accounts, and to introduce a more picture rich android app. It | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
is doubling the cost of paid accounts that carry no advertising. | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
Twitter has asked for higher levels of accounts security, introducing | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
two step verification. It is activated in a town settings. It | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
requires you to activate a code sent to your mobile phone alongside | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
a password. The move comes after several high-profile accounts were | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
hacked earlier this year. Finally, a debate that has raged on the | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
internet for over 25 years, has at last been put to rest. Steve | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Wilhite, in effect -- inventor of the GIF, publicly declared that the | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
acronym is pronounced AGEF. It is still a staple of the online world, | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
bringing us the weird and the wonderful. And also cats, a lot of | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
:10:07. | :10:07. | ||
cats. Every few years, technology changes | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
enough for someone somewhere to get a brilliant idea. If things start | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
getting smaller, we will soon be able to fit everything into a watch. | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
So we see a new raft of smart watch has hit the scene. That is where we | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
are now. This latest crop aims to be much more than just a bunch of | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
:10:38. | :10:39. | ||
posh timepieces. Perhaps the most famous clock in | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
the world resides in London's Elizabeth tower. Here, inside the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Elisabeth tower in Westminster, all year round, three o'clock mechanics | :10:50. | :11:00. | |
:11:00. | :11:06. | ||
tend to this giant 154 year-old example of mechanic timekeeping. It | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
is almost a living mechanism. The plot mechanics feed it by winding | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
it three times a week. They regulate it to ensure that it keeps | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
:11:26. | :11:28. | ||
good time. It is accurate to within one second a day. This is | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
timekeeping delivered on a grand scale. But on a more personal, | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
wearable level, time and technology march on. Lots of love may have | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
ditched wristwatches in favour of a mobile phone's clock, but the watch | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
itself is now capable of more than just telling the time. This is the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
annual What in jewellery Fair in Switzerland full, the premier event | :11:53. | :12:03. | |
:12:03. | :12:15. | ||
for all things chronological. That The latest marvels of micro | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
mechanical engineering. Often, price tags resemble that of a | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
family car. But how smart can they watched? That particular time he's | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
over there is fitted with a personal locator beacon. That seems | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
pretty clever to make. Crafted in lightweight titanium and measuring | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
51 millimetres across, it contains an emergency transmitter that will | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
notify search and rescue services of its own's location once | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
activated. The watch itself transmits two signals on emergency | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
frequencies. One is earthbound. The other can be detected by satellites | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
in space, regardless of its wearer's location. The personal | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
locator beta -- beacon has its own battery which must be recharged | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
every two months. �12,000 for this level of safety. And if the Annat | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
suddenly sets of the Beacon, showing off down at the pub, they | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
will be charged a considerable amount of cash to cover the cost of | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
any scrambled search and rescue teams. This one is not a watch at | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
all but a wrist mounted mobile phone. Inside is a SIM card and the | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
watch face has a colour touchscreen. It is certainly not a smartphone. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
It allows its user to make and receive calls, send and receive | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
text messages, even watch and listen to multimedia content. The | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
screen is very small. Texting and using the calculator will become an | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
exercise in patience and steady hand at skill. But if you want to | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
use a really smart what, you had better known a smartphone. Most of | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
these devices connect through Bluetooth. They present their | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
wearer with information from their fans like text or e-mail alerts. | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
They can also act as a remote control for the music player. The | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
Allah million Shell keeps the weight down. It has a touchscreen | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
speak red microphone and can use the Android operating system. It | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
can make and receive calls when used in conjunction with the | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
smartphone. That screen and Bluetooth makes this a very | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
powerful as the device, requiring daily charging. Because it connects | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
to a mobile phone with Bluetooth tethering, it is more Bawtry | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
intensive than standard Bluetooth. Once you are online, the next step | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
is to set up each application through the cloud before anything | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
well what -- anything will work. Even then, you might not get quite | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
what is expected. Most applications work to some level but on the whole, | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
the experience was slow and country. To cap it all off, the watch is not | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
even water resistant. Pavel has had a lot to live up to, raking in $10 | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
million on Kickstarter, making it the most heavily funded project in | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
the history of the website. That popularity came at a price, with | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
huge demand and huge delays as a result. It is finally with us now | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
and those delays have paid off - sort of. It is basically a second | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
screen for the fine so if it is disconnected, it is not very useful. | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
Connected always of looters, it is cooked up to an application on the | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
iPhone or Android had set. Because of its limited screen real-estate, | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
these and the work as an overview. In terms of style, the plastic feel | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
might not be for everyone but it is waterproof to 50 metres and has a | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
low-power LCD e-paper display, working out at about one week of do | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
so from the battery. The development kit for the couple has | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
been out since April and already has a decent support. Those | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
applications include a new watch faces like these and a couple of | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
dedicated applications like this fitness application. There are more | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
in development. The quality of these applications could make or | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
break the Pebble. At the moment, it does not to a lot but what it does | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
do it manages fairly well. Rumours are rife surrounding Samsung and | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
Apple's interest in producing a smart watch. In this area, wearable | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
technology has potential in the not-too-distant future, even if it | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
is not being realised in the present. | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
I don't know about you, but in the 1980s, I had a cup today to watch - | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :16:52. | ||
do you remember those? -- calculator watch. They were so | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
small that he wanted to do anything, you had to take them off your wrist, | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
:17:06. | :17:08. | ||
at which point, all you had was a tiny calculator. Now, Webscape. | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
Kit is fun to dabble with video editing but if you want to get more | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
serious, check out the light works, a comprehensive editing suite | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
powerful enough to produce top Hollywood measly -- movies like | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
Mission impossible and that man. The free version is packed with | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
features and effects with an upgrade to a professional if you | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
want more integrated input and output methods. If it is your first | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
time using software like this, it might look intimidating but you | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
will pick it up in a time once you get to grips with some of the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
guides and tutorials. For those with more experience, it will come | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
very quickly indeed because the interface is pretty intuitive. | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
There will be a steep learning curve, however, so be prepared to | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
lock yourself away in a quiet room for a few hours and read all of the | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
manual files. It is only available for Windows right now but the Linux | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
version has been released to the public. Stay tuned for more news | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
relating to the Apple version. Ever get the feeling that you are | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
being followed? That is the point with Twitter but one group has | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
taken the concept to the end of creepiness with their free iPhone | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
Apple, shadow me. Going beyond a simple follow, this allows you to | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
shadow a particular account, seeing everything that is public that they | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
see. Of course privacy campaigners will | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
probably have a good it look at this one because it makes cyber | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
stalking as easy as it has ever been, but that said, the | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
information it is serving up is nothing that is not already | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
publicly available, so if you are worried about what it is delivering, | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
perhaps you should revisit your security settings. For a less | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
creepy thing to do with your iPhone, a checkout this one. It is not free | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
but it won't matter to all of you fans because it is beautifully made | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
and you can keep an eye out for all those famous distribution lorries | :19:32. | :19:42. | |
:19:42. | :19:43. | ||
as you drive about. The world billiards championship is | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
one of the oldest sporting World Championships in history, dating | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
back to the mid-19th century. Agent De Bello 84 has given this | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
particularly sedate game a 21st century twist, be created in | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
glorious html 5 to be played on the latest internet browsers. In this | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
version of the game, a billiards tournament has been infiltrated by | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
a terrorist group. Yes, really. And you are under constant pressure by | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
the driving pulling the plug music and exploding eight balls to clear | :20:19. | :20:27. | |
the table as quickly as possible -- the driving music. It is apparently | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
a very accurate rendition of the physics of a real billiards table, | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
which is probably why my inability to sink a ball in a pocket is so | :20:37. | :20:47. | |
:20:47. | :20:48. | ||
frustratingly realistic as well. The winners of the 17th annual | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
Webby Awards were announced on Tuesday. Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
Spacey were among those invited to make a five word exception -- | :21:00. | :21:10. | |
:21:10. | :21:13. | ||
acceptance speech. Stephen Wynne height, inventor of | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
