Google is facing a lawsuit surrounding allegations that it illegally tracked millions of people through their phones, even after they set their privacy settings to disable the sharing of their location history. Napoleon Patacsil of San Diego is seeking class-action status on behalf of US users of Android phones and Apple iPhones who were tracked against their will and knowledge. Mr Patacsil claims Google's "principal goal" was to "surreptitiously monitor" phone users and let third parties do the same. "Google represented that a user'can turn off Location History at any time. With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored.' This simply was not true," the complaint states.

There's a race on to get into your ears. And Audible is trying to win it. The Amazon-owned audiobook company is just the latest to launch a new range of audio content, in the form of podcasts. It comes as Google attempts to take its spot by offering audiobooks, and other companies like Spotify launch their own podcasts. Audible is referring to the new podcasts as "Audio Shows". But they work in the same way as podcast – they are cut down into a range of shorter episodes that are intended to be listened to in a series, and fans can subscribe and then receive new episodes when they come out.

Apple is scanning people's millions of people's faces each day, shooting lights at them and taking photographs. And it's got everyone in a panic. The new Face ID technology in the iPhone X has led some people to be worried that the company is secretly assembling a database of the most detailed selfies ever to be taken. But the truth is much more secure and private, and probably a little less exciting. It's Apple's brand new biometric technology, which uses very precise measurements of your face to check that the person trying to get into a phone is its actual owner.

Sony is set to release a robot dog designed to live in your house and control your electronics, a new report says. The device could also learn new tricks and respond to your commands, like a real pet dog. It sounds a lot like a modernised version of AIBO, a robot dog Sony first started selling in 1999. Sony's new robot dog will go on sale in spring 2018, according to the Wall Street Journal, but will be unveiled at a launch event next month. According to people familiar with the company's plans, it will be internet-connected and feature new components designed to make its movements more lifelike and enable it to respond to people much faster than the old version.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display
