: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.
:00:31.:00:43.

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

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

ambitious content partnerships announced, with a new Halo TV show

produced none other by Steven Spielberg himself. The Halo

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

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

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

input. With Kinect's improved voice recognition capabilities, couch-

: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

content or so. Competitors and gamers around the world, you have

been put on notice. Microsoft intends to protect its turf. It is

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

for all things chronological. That The latest marvels of micro

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

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.

the GIF received a lifetime achievement award. You know I

:21:17.:21:22.

pronounce that one right. There is also a YouTube channel if you want

:21:22.:21:31.

to watch clips from the night. Active Google+ uses of which there

:21:31.:21:35.

are now apparently 190 million we have noticed a complete overhaul of

:21:35.:21:41.

the desktop design last week. Now, the makeover is going mobile. The

:21:41.:21:45.

social network announced on its block that hosts would now appear

:21:45.:21:49.

at -- appear as cards in the mobile Webster in, making it easier to

:21:49.:21:55.

read and interact with. As well as looking prettier, they design adds

:21:55.:22:01.

41 new features including a multi- coloured layout, automatic photos

:22:01.:22:09.

and hashtag options. Thank you. You will find that on
