more on the storms affecting the UK. Now on BBC News, it's time for

Click. Copying music is so last decade.

I've copied the music player and I think I have the scale of wrong.

I've copied the music player and I think I have the scale of wrong ``

of it. This week on Click, copy anything,

any time. We weighed into the battle over how to protect objects from the

3D printing pirates. Pick a card, any card, but we will get our hands

on the one card Mac that wants to replace them all. And if you are

Christmas shopping and thinking of buying a tablet, we will provide all

you need to know. Plus, the latest tech news and some of the most

mouthwatering web fodder we have seen to date.

Welcome to Click. And welcome to London's West End, where, if you

hadn't noticed, it's Christmas! And it has been its mid`November. Down

these streets, every designer goods you could ever want and almost

afford. But what if you wanted your giant bottle of perfume but you

didn't want to pay for it? What if instead you could wander into the

store, take a few photos of it and use them to create your own copy for

absolutely nothing? This expensive designer bottle will

be much easier to replicate. Those 3D printing is we have been talking

about print out ornaments. Earlier this year, we showed you how to take

photos of the subject and turn them into a 3D CAD file which can be

manipulated or 3D entered which means, in theory, designer goods can

be copied to millimetre precision. And who's to stop you?

Certainly not this guy. Cody Wilson rose to notoriety when he designed

and 3D printing his own gun and then fired it. He was then named by wired

back magazine as 15 of the most dangerous people in the world, as he

made those plans available online. `` Wire magazine. I wasn't

interested in the technology but I was interested in doing that. If

it's going to be revolutionary, let's see you do something. But this

comes from maybe even a generational dissatisfaction with the state of

thing. `` things. We thought, could we get to even think we could do it?

It was stupid to think we could do it but we did it. Cody has moved on

to developing software to further an honour might bitcoin transactions to

what he calls dark wallet. He is also working on a project called

death CAD which puts 3D CAD files online to search and download for

free. A kind of Pirate Bay and 3D free. A kind of Pirate Bay and 3D

printing. People will provide the files you demand. Just like in

Pirate Bay, people will leave comments, this is a good file. There

will be services that validate files for you. Unqualified, yes. The music

and movie industries have been fighting online piracy for years

with limited success. Decisions like Metallica are famously campaigning

against copyright infringement. But Cody can't see who would fight such

a battle against the 3D thinking pirates. What's that Metallica

moment? Who will sue us for using parts? I don't see an aggressive

prosecution happening for people sharing such files. It's less

narrow. I don't see there being as unified front for people attacking

it. Companies can now printing multiple materials to make objects

like this one piece camera. 3D systems launched two new printers

this week, showcasing this technology. Exciting times for

companies and consumers. The era were many `` the time when we can

print out even collocated products at home is not far away. And as this

technology becomes more available, companies are already exploring ways

to fight those 3D pilots. `` pirates. An iTunes Store or treaties

designs, this company has found a way to make that happen. The CEO

showed us Sendshapes, its new product for transferring files. We

found this Spotify for 3D printing. It allows you to get the design in a

way that is protected but it allows you to use the printer in any other

way you see fit. We won't stop you from is `` anything else. Senders

select the design file, and to the recipient's e`mail address and then

start the transfer. In our case, recipient's e`mail address and then

start the transfer. In our case, that file is then shared with the

person who print any more. It's uploaded to our service and we

prepare it for the print on our servers and then we sent that

design, literally line by line, into the printer. That way, the user

never receives the image of the design, all he sees is a progress

bar. And at the end, the Finnish `` finished product. Currently, these

are the closest thing to 3D marketplaces. The idea of printing

anything you want is mind`boggling. But the reality doesn't quite live

up to the hype. There are plenty of 3D files for trinkets but not a lot

of useful objects. With the exception of the miniature Titus. ``

tartis. Most of us want to print more than bunny figurines but many

designers are reluctant to release their designs into the wild.

Just as pirated movies pop up on a torrent, so good prior treat 3D

design. A 3D scan it could be used to duplicate the copyrighted

object. If you think about what happens with videos right now, you

Tube videos are generally organised. `` YouTube. You have a small pixel

that changes colour. You can do something similar in 3D printing.

Apply a watermark to the finished object that cannot be reversed.

Experts say that could be a challenge. How do you in bed

verification codes in the process that allow for the end user to

verify things are correct, even though they have passed through the

hands of people, you may have an incentive to switch things out or do

things in a not correct way? It's just a lot of encryption map. If you

do it well, I don't think it's impossible but it's a novel problem.

Authentise will have to out an over its condition. Layer by Layer By

Layer launched an online store where designers can sell their 3D where's

securely, although again the items are more fun than functional. ``

Layer By Layer. This site aims to secure users but users must secure a

hardware site. It might hinge on partnerships with the right

companies. Hardware, parts and toy stores come to mind. If it are

conscious that, it may even help the shift towards more localised

manufacturing. Got Lego loving kids? Then you know how panic sets in when

a crucial block, like this one, goes missing. But if you can buy a 3D

file of this precious purple piece from the manufacturing and printed

at home, you can have a replacement in one hour, instead of waiting

days. Technology that prevents toddler tantrums? I'll take it. A

broken dispenser can render a dishwasher useless but this plastic

part would easily be 3D printing. And that's just the start. The

killer 3D printing application might be the one we have yet to dream up.

Imagining a 3D future that is changing very rapidly. Talking of

which, time to take a look at this week's tech news.

More than 2 million passwords, used for sites like Facebook and Yahoo,

have been stolen and posted online. It is believed a criminal gang

harvested the material online but no one knows how all the passwords are

and security experts have again reminded people to use different

passwords for different sites and change them regularly. The world's

first E Ink jewel screen smartphone has been launched by `` in Russia.

The phone has one conventional LCD display and a second E Ink screen,

allowing users to see the information they want without having

to wait the phone up. Experts say it should significantly improve battery

life. A British company has shown off a prototype machine of stopping

cars and other vehicles using electromagnetic waves. The device

uses radiofrequency pulses to confuse the vehicle's electronic

systems, cutting its engine. The manufacturer says the system could

be used by the military or police. Amazon Instant it wants to replace

the friendly post it with these octocopters, which would deliver

your orders from above. `` postie. That was announced in one of the

biggest `` busiest shopping days of the year. But it has captured the

imagination of Google, which has acquired several robotics companies

in the last few months. One is Industrial Perception, outfitted to

hide this robot. I wonder if it could get a job as an airport

baggage hammer! `` baggage hammer. Christmas is boom

time for the shops and the great card companies, because many of us

will buy at least some of our presence using this. Maybe actually

I'll use this one. No, maxed out. All I could ditch the pocket of

cards and use just one of these instead. It's bizarrely a card

called Coin. A new kind of payment system that stores all of your

plastic cards in one. I'm going to expensive on the business card. I

just tap this button to select the right card and that's it. Your

current cards can be registered on the service by using the accompanied

scanner to Pool B details into it at. But isn't it essentially owning

a credit card? `` Pool B details. And what's to stop someone else from

pinching your card and putting it? I put that to the fount of Coin. ``

and cloning it. They entered their card into the system and we verified

information. It doesn't allow anyone else to take information using Coin.

It's actually better lock down in the US than a traditional piece of

plastic. Other banks giving you your blessing to do this? Any new

technology, when it comes out, it somewhat in the grey area. The rules

haven't been Britain for something like Coin. Those conversations will

now occur early to mid` next year, to make sure the partnerships are

solid. In fact, Coin has several security features. If the card moves

out of range of your Bluetooth smartphone, it deactivate and sound

an alarm on your handset. When it is out of your range, out of your

reach, and someone decides to skim your information, a Coin will have a

skim alarm. If it detects fraudulent activity, it will tell you. It can't

prevent it but it can detect it OK. Final question, why didn't you call

it Card? I like the name Coin because coins have been around for

ages and, to me, a representative of city. That was the call of the

company. Simplify our user's lives. I cannot wait for the day when I do

not even have to carry around one credit card. Once you saw is how you

are going to pay for your Christmas presents, next, you will need some

Christmas presents. We will be going through the tech choices for the

special people in your life, and we start with tablets.

Right now the marketplace is flooded with a number of different machines

representing different operating systems. ROM Apple, we have iOS and

its iPad, Google has its Android, which are manufactured by a whole

host of different companies, and from Microsoft, there is Windows

eight, and Windows macro `` Windows eight IT. This is the iPad Air. It

has got a 9.7 inch screen, it has gone on a bit of a diet. It weighs

less and it is slightly thinner than the machine it replaces. It comes in

two colours and four flavours. Under the skin, it has an A764 processor,

making the iPad Air is something of a portable computing powerhouse. It

is very fast for a tablet, but he still managed to get about ten hours

of juice from the batteries, which is a reasonable amount of time to go

between charges. It enjoys the best App Store. This means the most

popular apps can be found here. As it is an iPad, there are only two

ways that you can plug other things into it, one is by the headphones

socket, and the other is through the lightening port. It is also how you

charge it. If you want to use things such as ST cards, you will have to

get a fourth party per referral. That is the biggest problem it has

is price. Oligarchs will regard it as being cheap. That becomes even

more of a problem when it is compare it to some of the current crop of

ten inch Android tablets. If price is a concern, this is the huddle, a

cost`conscious Android tablet that is world spent. It does not bear the

name of a giant consumer and electronics company, but actually

comes courtesy of a store that you would normally purchase your

groceries in. Available in a range of bright colours, its soft plastic

case houses a seven inch screen, it is bright, clear and has a prewired

viewing angle as well. It comes with 16 gigs of storage as standard, and

there is a micro` ST slot. It has a quad core processor, but if you give

it too much to do, it will struggle slightly. But if you do not have too

many applications open, it is fine. You will get nine hours of the

batteries. The Google Play store is almost as jampacked as its Apple

counterpart. Tesco has made an addition to the normal experience,

with a T Buckton. It provides direct access to the supermarket's online

services. It is not the fastest tablets out there, but it is a solid

and reliable option. Our final tablet uses the Windows eight arty

operating system. It is produced by a recent Microsoft acquisition,

Nokia. It is the snappily named Lumia 2520. Nokia's take features a

full HD, 10.1 inch screen. It is a bit lighter than the other Windows

RT device to surface from Microsoft. They are more like laptops that have

had their keyboards taken away. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It

certainly has an abundance of ports and plugs. The battery is good for

ten hours as well. The tablet itself has a pre` good screen, which is

really, really bright. It is a fast and responsive device and it comes

fully loaded with Windows offers. Windows RT is not full fat. It is

not compatible with old school Windows software, which has not been

designed to work with the new style of interface. There are nearly

130,000 apps in the Windows install and new ones are on the way all the

time. It is a good tablets but it has a limited number of applications

compared to its rivals. But it is reasonably powerful and has so many

connectivity options that you can stick more things into it than a

pincushion. Next week, we will be looking at

smartphone accessories. What are the advantages of doing your Christmas

shopping in online stores. Parking is really simple. It is you're so

far. But if you are one of these crazy types, that likes to visit

real shops, you may find this handy. It is an app that helps you

find a parking space. Since we first looked at this project in April, it

has undergone rigourous testing and it is now ready to be rolled out

across much of London's west end. Once downloaded to your smart phone

or tablet, it works of data from sensors in the road, that allow you

to see where space is available. sensors in the road, that allow you

to see where space is available You can see what type of space it is and

then pay for your parking through your phone. It looks like the days

of driving around for hours on end, eyeballing fellow drivers, may

finally be over. If only somebody would actually get me a car. Of all

the online phenomena, YouTube has to be one of the most remarkable. The

figures speak for themselves. It is less than ten years old but it gets

over 1 billion visitors every month, and 100 hours of BDO are

uploaded every minute. Steve Cgeb and Chad Hurley are the guys behind

the idea. Now they have come up with a brand`new one to add to your

collection. The guys behind YouTube know their

online video. Their latest venture, a free video recording, editing and

sharing app for iPhone and Android, is no exception. It is the social

twist in the tale that sets this apart from the crowd a little. You

might have noticed that there are quite a lot of video editors around

right now, Vine, Instagram is even getting in on the action, but where

this app is different, it lets users remixed and add two videos made by

other users, so that over time, the film get a clear grows with views

from everybody's spec did. Each clip is limited to 16 seconds, but you

can record them in a string, and once shared, they can be mixed again

and stitched together. They can be up to an hour while long. To see the

full clip, I have posted it in our social streams. FIFA is not just

about the World Cup every four gears. On Friday, the draw for the

World Cup finals in Brazil took pace. To mark the occasion, the

official FIFA app was made available, free on iOS and Android.

You can now track and follow all the key moments, customising your feed

to show the results that matter to you. FIFA say it will unlock

hundreds of competitions, thousands of goals, and over 1 million minutes

of football every single week through the competition. With the

festive season now well under way, the Lambrini bodyguard app launched

this week. Use the unit counter to keep track of your booze levels,

keep track of your booze levels, to drink responsibly, and UK users can

tap into the get me home feature, which has information about the best

route home, including the last train or bus schedules. You can even use

it to send a message to your friends when you are leaving the party and

when you get home, just in case you have had too much fun to type it in

yourself. Now it is time to learn how to do

most of us, the weekend will be dry the cloudy. It will be added rather

drab affair but it will not be as cold or stormy as it has been over

the past 48 hours. The low pressure is well away from the UK. We had

this warm front moving in across the UK. It has brought warm air. We

still have the cold air across much of the screen north`east. The

bridges are minus in Shetland. It is still pretty cold as `` the moment.

Also the risk of icy conditions as parts of northern England and

Scotland. Still a bit of snow to come in the extreme north`east

during Saturday morning, but most places will simply be great. They
