:00:00. > :00:00.executed a number of Palestinians, accused of collaborating with Israel

:00:00. > :00:08.in Gaza. Meanwhile, a rocket has killed a four`year`old Israeli boy.

:00:09. > :00:12.Benjamin Netanyahu has promised a harsh response. Now, it is time for

:00:13. > :00:16.Click. I really should not be telling you

:00:17. > :00:24.this but it really is earthshattering news. I cannot tell

:00:25. > :00:38.you. I cannot! I cannot! OK, what is happening is this. The iPhone is

:00:39. > :00:42.going to... This week on Click, I would let you

:00:43. > :00:48.know but perhaps it is better hearing it from this man. We visit

:00:49. > :00:54.the world 's most notorious phone leaker in Philadelphia. Spoiler

:00:55. > :01:01.alert! We find out what cyclists make of the latest bike tech. And we

:01:02. > :01:09.find out what happens when you try to play the whole internet. All of

:01:10. > :01:13.that plus how to stay safe online in Webscape. Welcome to Click. Over the

:01:14. > :01:18.coming weeks, we will see a number of properly big tech announcements.

:01:19. > :01:23.These days, that usually means new smartphones. We have the imminent

:01:24. > :01:26.launch of the iPhone six lost a number of announcements from Samsung

:01:27. > :01:32.and Sony, all of which we will cover here. `` plus a number of

:01:33. > :01:38.announcements. The thing is that these days, despite the best efforts

:01:39. > :01:41.of the big players in tech, we know exactly what is going to be

:01:42. > :01:46.announced long in advance of these showpiece launches because full

:01:47. > :01:50.weeks, if not months in advance, pictures and details have been drip

:01:51. > :01:58.fed by leakers to their hungry online audiences. Chief among them

:01:59. > :02:01.is Evan Blass, who has brought us a virtual torrent of the latest

:02:02. > :02:05.prerelease specifications for a number of years. That is until very

:02:06. > :02:12.recently, when completely out of the blue, he wrote on Twitter that he

:02:13. > :02:15.was retiring. The reclusive figure has never appeared on camera before

:02:16. > :02:33.until we paid him a visit in Philadelphia. Notorius, Inverness,

:02:34. > :02:39.prolific... In famous. He has near legendary status online. Leaking is

:02:40. > :02:42.very competitive but he is top dog. Any prediction he makes is treated

:02:43. > :02:55.basically as fact by tech journalists the world over. And this

:02:56. > :02:59.is mission control, where Evan Blass sits for up to 22 hours per day,

:03:00. > :03:04.gathering information from his closely guarded network of sources.

:03:05. > :03:09.Sometimes I get neck strain over here because this is my instant

:03:10. > :03:13.messaging monitor and I can spend 20 minutes to half an hour instant

:03:14. > :03:21.messaging and then suddenly, oh, no, crook neck. Evan Blass suffers from

:03:22. > :03:25.multiple sclerosis, so moving around is extremely painful for him. Most

:03:26. > :03:30.of his life is spent online. There is a lot of work that goes into even

:03:31. > :03:33.the shortest leaks but it does not look that way when they are on

:03:34. > :03:39.Twitter. It looks like it takes five minutes. My favourite nickname is

:03:40. > :03:46.the one they have, for me in China. They call me the great God. He

:03:47. > :03:50.refuses to reveal how he gets all his information but it is clear he

:03:51. > :03:54.has informants within the industry. When you leak something, you are not

:03:55. > :04:00.only that in for yourself and for your source as well. You are

:04:01. > :04:03.basically saying that you have a good source and you believe this

:04:04. > :04:12.person enough to put the information out there. It all started with

:04:13. > :04:20.consumer tech show CES in January, 2011. To the crowd, he revealed this

:04:21. > :04:25.days before the launch. Is leaking Korea had begun. There is great

:04:26. > :04:31.satisfaction in seeing some new blueprint or some story you made up

:04:32. > :04:36.spread around the world. Some manufacturers are furious about his

:04:37. > :04:40.leaks but others have had a much more surviving `` surprising

:04:41. > :04:44.reaction. Companies say they are never happy with leak but that is

:04:45. > :04:51.not true. I have received controlled leaks. That is why a phone

:04:52. > :04:54.manufacturer, if they tell you that they hate leaks, that leaks are

:04:55. > :05:02.always damaging to them, they are not being truthful because more than

:05:03. > :05:10.one, more than two, had given me material to leak. Any advanced

:05:11. > :05:16.information about Apple always makes people go bananas, confusingly. It

:05:17. > :05:20.goes without saying that Evan Blass have known for months about Apple's

:05:21. > :05:29.announcements scheduled for September. I think there will be two

:05:30. > :05:35.iPhone models. I have information to that effect. They will be 4.7 inches

:05:36. > :05:40.and 5.5 inches. That has been reported widely. Many of the parts

:05:41. > :05:45.have already been leaked out of the Chinese factories where the phones

:05:46. > :05:48.are made. The biggest danger of all is the people who make the least

:05:49. > :05:57.amount of money, the workers in the Chinese factories. They probably get

:05:58. > :06:00.can sneak something out of the factory. A picture of an upcoming

:06:01. > :06:12.iPhone display is going to be very, very popular, because it tells you

:06:13. > :06:18.so much about what will be like. I woke up in a bunch of pain, unlike,

:06:19. > :06:23.oh, oh... As well as coping with multiple sclerosis, Evan Blass also

:06:24. > :06:27.has problems sleeping. While his insomnia might worsen his help, he

:06:28. > :06:31.does believe it keeps him productive. When you have a disease

:06:32. > :06:36.that suddenly starts getting worse and does not get better, you feel

:06:37. > :06:40.like you are dying and when you feel like you are dying, you are willing

:06:41. > :06:46.to do certain things like take on a job that probably does not have a

:06:47. > :06:51.real future. I have been sleeping a little better now that I'm not

:06:52. > :06:56.leaking any more. Evan Blass moved closer to his parents last year and

:06:57. > :07:02.they seem proud, having a famous tester for a son. We have always

:07:03. > :07:07.waited for him to find his something that he loved doing. And something

:07:08. > :07:13.he was passionate about. And that was the leaking. And we were

:07:14. > :07:21.thrilled. And I would check every day. I'm not on Twitter but I would

:07:22. > :07:27.go on his Evleaks page to see what was going on, so it felt like being

:07:28. > :07:32.in touch. I started Evleaks so I could keep my name out there. I was

:07:33. > :07:35.the only person who tried to be a professional leaker. Even though I

:07:36. > :07:40.was not making enough money for a full`time job, I decided to make it

:07:41. > :07:45.my full time job and decided to live on whatever money I could scrape out

:07:46. > :07:50.of it. I needed it to be out there that I had stopped. Now, there is no

:07:51. > :07:55.more leaking. I would not consider a leak now stop even though people

:07:56. > :07:59.still send me stuff, I say no thank you or please send it to another

:08:00. > :08:04.site or something else because I have no use for it. I don't really

:08:05. > :08:09.care about my name is associated with the leaks.

:08:10. > :08:14.It always will be and now, it will be a legacy, I guess. Evan Blass

:08:15. > :08:26.will stop interesting. Your thoughts? We won't tell a soul.

:08:27. > :08:31.Next, this week's tech news. Twitter is to start removing the issues ``

:08:32. > :08:35.images of deceased people at the request of family members. The

:08:36. > :08:38.company says it will consider intervening in cases where critical

:08:39. > :08:42.injury occurs to the deceased moments before or after their

:08:43. > :08:46.death. The news comes after Robin Williams's grieving daughter was

:08:47. > :08:51.haunted on the site over her father's suicide and the Islamic

:08:52. > :08:56.State group released a video of the killing of James Foley. Cars that

:08:57. > :09:01.talk to each other. Buckle up, it might not be as crazy as it sounds.

:09:02. > :09:05.The Obama administration has announced it is taking the first

:09:06. > :09:10.death in requiring all future cars be equipped with tech that allows

:09:11. > :09:13.vehicles to send each other so. The technology would use radio signals

:09:14. > :09:18.to transmit the car's edition and speed, which would then be picked up

:09:19. > :09:22.by other similarly equipped vehicles and alert drivers to potential

:09:23. > :09:29.collisions. Watch out, Robert Downey Jr, there could be a new iron man in

:09:30. > :09:33.town. The US. Navy will test two exoskeleton suits for potential use

:09:34. > :09:36.in its shipyards. It is hoped the lightweight suits will be used for

:09:37. > :09:40.jobs that require the use of heavy tools over extended periods of time

:09:41. > :09:48.and potentially allow users to list items up to 36 pounds. But if they

:09:49. > :09:53.had watched a show from Japan last year, they could have seen how a

:09:54. > :09:58.real expert does it. A few weeks ago, we brought you some of the

:09:59. > :10:02.latest electric bikes. If you are a cyclist and you prefer

:10:03. > :10:05.to use your own pedal power to work up a sweat, there are still plenty

:10:06. > :10:11.of devices around to help keep you safe and add a bit of tech to the

:10:12. > :10:15.experience. We tracked down some keen cyclist to put some of them to

:10:16. > :10:21.the test. Cycle polo. Informal, urban, and as these people told me,

:10:22. > :10:32.still being made up as they go along. For these players, cycling is

:10:33. > :10:38.not just about sport. It is also their chosen method of transport

:10:39. > :10:42.everyday. Who better to test the latest urban cycling tech with? We

:10:43. > :10:46.got our hands on some innovative devices and prototypes page, so

:10:47. > :10:59.designs and functionality are not yet reflected. I have some toys I

:11:00. > :11:02.would like to put the test. As a, being seen is vital. These lights

:11:03. > :11:09.that can be worn on any backpack can help. It feels like I'm wearing a

:11:10. > :11:14.day pack. I believe you are about to turn right. I know the control is

:11:15. > :11:19.working but I do not know if the backpack is working. It could be my

:11:20. > :11:23.only way of indicating and I'm trusting that it works. Perhaps

:11:24. > :11:28.these clubs will fare better. The idea is that you hold your hand up

:11:29. > :11:32.to indicate and as soon as you make that gesture, it points and arrow.

:11:33. > :11:37.They look like decent gloves. What I like is that it does not stop you

:11:38. > :11:45.from doing what you are taught to do but it accentuates it. What did you

:11:46. > :11:50.think's easy to use. I have never indicated but found people cannot

:11:51. > :11:54.see. For those cyclists who say it is everyone else on the road that is

:11:55. > :11:59.the problem, this is your chance to prove it or not. This backlighting

:12:00. > :12:04.camera records into our lips everything that is going on behind

:12:05. > :12:07.you. It has a 130 degrees wide angle lens, five hours battery life and

:12:08. > :12:12.records two hours of timestamps footage. The recordings continue

:12:13. > :12:17.really good, overwriting earlier footage, so you always have your

:12:18. > :12:22.last two hours of video stored. Would you use one? I'm not sure I

:12:23. > :12:27.would feel the need to always feel behind me. It does not seem bright

:12:28. > :12:34.enough for me. It's only bright if you are looking directly at it. What

:12:35. > :12:39.is it? Even in fog, this radar once a rider of what is going on up to

:12:40. > :12:45.140 metres behind them. As a speedy vehicle approaches, not only does

:12:46. > :12:48.the backlight flashed one of the bicycle's presents but once the

:12:49. > :12:52.cyclist of a potential hazard via the light panel in front of them.

:12:53. > :12:58.Would you want to use it in the real world? Probably not. It stops you

:12:59. > :13:04.thinking about looking behind you. You always have to make those

:13:05. > :13:09.checks. Is not as good as a mirror. Bicycle theft is that the technology

:13:10. > :13:12.is trying to fight as well. This lock only works using your

:13:13. > :13:21.smartphone. It's embedded sensors can even alert you if someone is

:13:22. > :13:25.tampering with the bike. And GPS tracking means that if it does get

:13:26. > :13:32.taken, you should know where to find it. Sometimes your phone runs out of

:13:33. > :13:36.batteries and I would be worried about that. The most important thing

:13:37. > :13:41.about a bike lock is how easy it is to cut through. Maybe you feel your

:13:42. > :13:46.bike could do more for you like charger mobile phone. Let's look at

:13:47. > :13:50.what this does. This USB charger gets its power from peddling,

:13:51. > :14:01.allowing you to charge of devices while on the go. That is wicked!

:14:02. > :14:05.Will did you think? This is a great idea. It's useful and does not

:14:06. > :14:11.affect the functionality of the bicycle at all. Sometimes you might

:14:12. > :14:15.not have access to a PowerPoint. And there is a removable battery pack,

:14:16. > :14:19.giving someone who does not have access to a PowerPoint outlet or

:14:20. > :14:24.computer the chance to charge something on the go as well. Mixed

:14:25. > :14:29.reactions from the serious cyclists but it's not until the finished

:14:30. > :14:30.products are available that we will see if the occasional cyclist feel

:14:31. > :14:50.the same. Take a look at this. It is not

:14:51. > :14:58.space, but data visualisation. This maps what is happening on Twitter

:14:59. > :15:02.during the Israel and Gaza conflict. As messy as this is, the

:15:03. > :15:10.relationships are organised. They reflect society. What do you analyse

:15:11. > :15:15.when you look at the Twitter feeds? A look at network structure and

:15:16. > :15:22.understand communities within social networks. So how are people

:15:23. > :15:30.interconnected on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. How does that affect

:15:31. > :15:35.how information spreads? Is there faster and better information flow

:15:36. > :15:45.and a certain structure into that this? Gilad Looked at the results on

:15:46. > :15:52.Twitter TV bombing of a UN school in Gaza? You can look at regions that

:15:53. > :15:55.are much more connected within the region and identifying these

:15:56. > :16:02.communities. That is represented by the colours of the crop. The closer

:16:03. > :16:09.together the notes are, the more connections. Green represents pro`

:16:10. > :16:20.Palestinian activists. Great is international media, which Gilad

:16:21. > :16:26.says is more sympathetic to the Palestinian narrative. Blew our

:16:27. > :16:36.Conservatives who are pro` Israeli. `` blue. In terms of this event,

:16:37. > :16:42.anyone who reports the facts of what we know, how many people died,

:16:43. > :16:47.what's the damage was, is put on the pro` Palestinian side of your crop.

:16:48. > :16:53.Anyone who either doesn't report that all reports the IDF line is put

:16:54. > :17:00.on the pro` Israeli line. Do you think that is too simplistic for

:17:01. > :17:07.this complex and very emotive subject? The UN example is one of

:17:08. > :17:14.many examples reported around these events where systematically various

:17:15. > :17:23.mainstream Israeli media did not put any emphasis on reporting

:17:24. > :17:28.Palestinian casualties. His date visualisation says that the left

:17:29. > :17:39.wing Israeli news source is having the most potential bridging bias and

:17:40. > :17:43.barriers because it has the most connections. He believes that social

:17:44. > :17:46.network connections are designed to reinforce rather than challenge our

:17:47. > :17:50.views. We are most likely to talk to people like us. We are most likely

:17:51. > :17:55.to see content that reinforces what we already believe. What we want to

:17:56. > :18:01.believe. The hope was that the Internet and social networks could

:18:02. > :18:06.be a great equaliser, where Israelis and Palestinians could finally

:18:07. > :18:12.connect. That is not happening. Fascinating stuff will stop next up,

:18:13. > :18:18.a fascinating project. What happens when you cross a computer programmer

:18:19. > :18:25.with a musical keyboard? The answer is a lot of noise from all angles. A

:18:26. > :18:46.reporter gets hands`on with what can only be described

:18:47. > :18:46.where the sound would be coming from artist.

:18:47. > :18:49.where the sound would be coming from where it is coming from the world.

:18:50. > :18:53.It's the sound is coming from Asia or Africa or South America, you

:18:54. > :18:58.would hear it here. I love the idea that there is regular happening all

:18:59. > :19:06.the time. Around the world, there is a world of sound. I wrote software

:19:07. > :19:13.that this to streams and finds notes on it. When I play a note on the

:19:14. > :19:19.keyboard, this is a B`flat, my favourite, it takes sounds from

:19:20. > :19:24.radio stations all over the world that sound like a B`flat and they

:19:25. > :19:28.get played through a speaker that is based on that location. You get the

:19:29. > :19:32.idea of the music around you. There is also a screen that shows where

:19:33. > :19:38.that sound have come from. The whole thing uses Internet radio to get the

:19:39. > :19:47.sound and the equivalent of a guitar tuner to identify what

:19:48. > :19:55.note it is on. This is part of an exhibition that Google now is

:19:56. > :20:03.enthusiastic about as they have funded for art projects in this

:20:04. > :20:08.room. `` four. Perhaps they are hoping that the coolness will rob.

:20:09. > :20:15.It is not about being called. `` cool. People think about someone

:20:16. > :20:19.plugging away at the keyboard. Young people come here on BC that code

:20:20. > :20:23.means that you can have butterflies on a screen and you complete the

:20:24. > :20:32.radio sessions of world. You change perceptions of what do you think it

:20:33. > :20:35.is and what it is all about. This is an art installation, but you

:20:36. > :20:39.contribute play it as a musician. In saying that, it is a feat of

:20:40. > :20:47.engineering. There is something joyful about playing the music

:20:48. > :20:50.around the world. I'll report on a musical journey around the world

:20:51. > :20:58.without having to leave London. That is how we like it. The web is an

:20:59. > :21:03.amazing playground, but is difficult to know how to stay safe and some

:21:04. > :21:11.people, it is more of challenge. To our reporter. Online safety is a

:21:12. > :21:16.complex issue. If you are looking after young people with autism

:21:17. > :21:19.spectrum conditions, it is especially so because of the social

:21:20. > :21:28.awareness and payments sometimes caused by disorder. `` impairments.

:21:29. > :21:34.There is an online took it designed to give teachers and carries the

:21:35. > :21:39.building blocks for a tailored approach to safety for those with

:21:40. > :21:46.autism conditions. As well as advice for carers and educators, there are

:21:47. > :21:49.activities to reinforce lessons. The toolkit handles the issues well, it

:21:50. > :21:54.covers sensitive topics like cyber`bullying, contact by strangers

:21:55. > :22:02.and exposure to inappropriate content without being alarmist or

:22:03. > :22:04.getting too technical. Hopefully, everyone can enjoy the enriching

:22:05. > :22:17.experiences online in a safe and happy environment.

:22:18. > :22:29.By all transfer between iPhone and PC has always been a bit of a pain.

:22:30. > :22:38.`` file transfer. Pocket Drive Texas that. It is a breeze to set up with

:22:39. > :22:42.just a couple of clicks. It is wireless and there is no need for

:22:43. > :22:49.cables to connect it. You can use it to listen to me sick, watch videos,

:22:50. > :22:57.reading documents and even to unlock files. Another neat way to share

:22:58. > :23:02.files between devices is to send anywhere, EPA to pare file transfer

:23:03. > :23:15.service that works to any browser and has free apps for a less, and

:23:16. > :23:18.wrote and chrome. `` IOS. The difference between peer to peer is

:23:19. > :23:26.that the file goes straight down the pipe. Both need to be connected and

:23:27. > :23:30.running for the transfer to happen. You get a temporary six digit code,

:23:31. > :23:37.which the recipient must enter into their device to access the file.

:23:38. > :23:49.There are a few services like this. We looked at one for photo sharing

:23:50. > :23:52.and Whatsapp. It is supposed to preserve the quality of image files

:23:53. > :24:07.while letting users send large batches of data. More than 100

:24:08. > :24:17.photos or two gig of data at a time. Your suggestions for sites and apps

:24:18. > :24:27.are greatly received. You can get in touch with us. Thank you for

:24:28. > :24:35.watching. The next time. `` see you next time.

:24:36. > :24:48.For many of us, this weekend is a bank holiday. There will be

:24:49. > :24:55.sunshine, although it will be chilly at night. On Monday, they will be a

:24:56. > :24:56.change of pressure. It will be
