"Latest iPhone 2.0 beta adds geo-tagging to Camera photos
By Sam Oliver
Published: 09:00 AM EST
A new beta of Apple's iPhone Software v2.0 Update released privately to a select group of enterprise partners this week adds a few new preferences and the beginnings of geo-tagging support for the handset's Camera app.
People familiar with the release, reportedly labeled build 5A292g, say location-aware services such as "Maps" and "Camera" now ask the user's permission before transmitting data used to identify their current geographical location.
The addition as it applies to the Camera application is interesting in that it suggests Apple is actively working on adding support for geo-tagging photographs, those people say.
Essentially, geo-tagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to media files such as latitude and longitude coordinates -- or even names of places -- so that those files can later be referenced, searched, and grouped based on their origin.
In addition, Apple is also reported to have added a toggle under the iPhone's general preference pane that will allow users to enable/disable Location Services on a system-wide basis.
Although the new beta prompts users for permission to use Location Services in the Camera application, those people familiar with the software say it appears that location metadata is not yet embedded in new photographs.
iPhone Beta Geo-Taggin
iPhone Software 2.0 is due next month alongside the company's much-anticipated next-generation iPhone that will boast support for so-called 3G networks. However, it will also be made available for existing iPhone owners.
One of the most highly anticipated features of the software is the App Store, which will allow users to purchase a wide variety of native third-party applications that are currently under development for both generations of the touch-screen handset."
now we just need java to go go go and create that patch :)
New York - Eight former executives from the company then known as AOL Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) have been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with inflating the company's online ad revenues by more than $1 billion between 2000-2002. Four of the executives -- including former controller James MacGuidwin -- have agreed to settle civil charges by paying the SEC about $8 million in fines.
Four others -- including former CFO John Michael Kelly and Joseph Ripp, the former CFO of the company's AOL unit -- have opted to contest the charges in federal court.
The SEC said that the eight took part in fraudulent deals in which AOL Time Warner artificially boosted its own revenue by giving advertisers money to buy online ads they wouldn't otherwise have purchased.
Other former executives to settle include David Colburn, Eric Keller and Jay Rappaport, while charges are still pending against Steven Rindner and Mark Wovsaniker.
