'Five Eyes': US, allies planned hack of Google app store to plant spyware on smartphones

Tech News - The online news site The Intercept said US intelligence developed the plan with allies in Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, a group known as the "Five Eyes" alliance.
  
The report, based on a document leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, said the plan aimed to step up surveillance efforts on smartphones.
  
The plan appeared to have been discussed at meetings involving the intelligence services in 2011 and 2012, according to the classified document.
  
The project called "Irritant Horn" would allow the agencies to hijack data connections to app stores and surreptitiously implant malicious software on smartphones that would allow for data to be harvested.
  
The intelligence agencies could also use the spyware to send misinformation to targets to confuse potential adversaries, according to the report.
  
The Intercept said the plan was motivated in part by concerns about the possibility of "another Arab Spring," or the spread of popular movements.

Middle class driving iPhone sales in emerging markets: Tim Cook

Tech News - Cook, under whom the California-based tech giant sold 61.2 million iPhones in January-March 2015, said emerging markets accounted for almost 40 percent of Apple's revenue for the second quarter.

  
Apple follows October-September period as fiscal year. On Monday, Apple had said that its net profit stood at USD 13.6 billion in the January-March quarter, while revenue was at USD 58 billion.
  
About 69 percent of the revenue came from international sales. Speaking at an investor call, Cook said "We also continue to see a reasonable percentage of first time buyers, particularly in some of the emerging markets.”

 "And if you look at emerging markets in general, revenue from emerging markets, just for the March quarter, was up 58 percent year on year. And a big piece of what is driving that is iPhone.
  
"Obviously, those results would have been higher without some of the FX (currency) headwinds..."
  
Apple chief further said: "And as I mentioned before, in emerging markets, we did extremely well. And so, I feel really good about where we are, and you can hopefully tell with the strong guidance that we provided, that we're very bullish on the current quarter as well."
  
Apple said 'swappers' -- who changed their last smartphone with an iPhone -- also contributed to the growth in iPhone sales.
  
To a separate query on iPhone purchases by the middle class in emerging markets, he said: "...And so as I look at that, without having market research data on the demographics that you are asking, it is clear to me that it has to come from the middle class.
  
"Because the upper income earners, there's only so many of those. And you cannot grow those kind of numbers without getting significantly into the middle class.

Smartphones to produce high-resolution 3D images

This feat may soon be possible because of a new tiny high-resolution 3D imager developed by researchers at California Institute of Technology.

Tech News - The cheap, compact yet highly accurate new device known as a nanophotonic coherent imager (NCI) uses inexpensive silicon chip less than a millimeter square in size.The NCI provides the highest depth-measurement accuracy of any such nanophotonic 3D imaging device.

"The small size and high quality of this new chip-based imager will result in significant cost reductions, which will enable thousands of new uses for such systems by incorporating them into personal devices such as smartphones," explained Ali Hajimiri, Thomas G. Myers professor of electrical engineering.

The new chip uses an established detection and ranging technology called LIDAR, in which a target object is illuminated with scanning laser beams.

The first proof of concept of the NCI has only 16 coherent pixels, meaning that the 3D images it produces can only be 16 pixels at any given instance.In the future, Hajimiri said, that the current array of 16 pixels could also be easily scaled up to hundreds of thousands.

Put smartphone away to rekindle romance

"The 'technoference' ranges from picking up the phone while partners are casually hanging out to checking Facebook while in the middle of an argument," said study author Sarah Coyne, psychologist at the Utah-based Brigham Young University in US.

To reach this conclusion, researchers surveyed 143 married or cohabiting heterosexual women and asked them about their phone, TV, computer and tablet habits.

Nearly 62 percent of women reported that the most common issue was their partner fiddling with the phone during leisure time, MPRnews reported. A quarter of them said their partner sent texts or emails to people during a face-to-face conversation.

According to Coyne, keeping the phone out of reach would lead to overall life satisfaction.

The results appeared in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture.
