Digital Economy Act: UK Police could soon disable phones, even if users don't commit a crime

The Independent - Tech

UK police could soon have the power to remotely disable mobile phones, even before the user actually commits a crime. The Digital Economy Act, which has just passed into law, contains a section stating that officers will be able to place restrictions on handsets that they believe are being used by drug dealers. The Home Office has told The Independent that UK police haven't gained the powers yet, as "the introduction of powers included within Acts are often staggered and further details will be developed by the next Government". The next Secretary of State needs to make regulations, which then have to be approved by both Houses of Parliament, before officers can start targeting phones. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

The Independent - Tech

A video showing off a little-known feature on the iPhone calculator has proven a major hit with users. It appears that plenty of Apple customers were completely unaware of the app's swipe functionality. Instead of hitting the C key and completely resetting a sum whenever you mistype a figure, you can instead delete the last number you entered simply by swiping either left or right on the calculator display panel. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
