WASHINGTON (AP) - Food and Drug Administration officials say they will begin regulating a new wave of applications and gadgets that work with smartphones to take medical readings and help users monitor their health. With the rise of the iPhone, Android and other mobile devices has come a flood of applications designed to help people stay healthy. Industry analysts estimate there are already more than 17,000 medical applications available, ranging from calorie counters to hightech heart monitors. The FDA said Monday that the vast majority of these health care apps don’t pose much of a risk to consumers if they malfunction, and will not be federally regulated. Instead, the agency will focus on a handful of apps that turn smartphones into devices, like a heart monitor, or medical attachments that…

What were you doing fifteen years ago? I was raising a toddler and a Kindergartener. Apple was introducing the iMac. Stanford University Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin were creating Google. Perhaps we were all creating something really important fifteen years ago. It’s actually hard to believe that Google has only been around for fifteen years. When I think back on time spent searching for answers online, I think of using Google. It’s become so big in this past fifteen years that it’s even become a verb. Often we don’t suggest someone “search for it online.” We suggest they “Google it.” We can take this argument further and question how we found out this information before Google or even before the Internet. The library? The newspaper? The encyclopedia? No…

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - To the chagrin and worry of Alaska transportation officials, Apple reactivated maps app directions Friday that guide drivers to the edge of a runway instead of a terminal at the Fairbanks airport. Apple had notified Fairbanks International Airport officials that the faulty directions had been disabled. Officials, though, noticed the app was back to giving the misguided directions on Friday and was also providing another route that leads to the taxiway. They don’t know why the app was reactivated with more faulty directions. Cupertino, California-based Apple didn’t immediately return a message to The Associated Press on Friday evening. One person intentionally followed the directions on Friday, which presents a dangerous situation for pilots and drivers, said Angela Spears, division operations manager for the Alaska Department of Transportation.…

Sir Jony Ive is many things: Apple’s Senior Vice President, Design; the main beneficiary of the downfall of skeuomorphism champion Scott Forstall; that voice so widely imitated by commentators every time Cupertino has a brand new product to promote via its customary stark white videos; one of the most celebrated natives of Chingford, England; and heir to Steve Jobs. Well, that’s the suggestion among many who have presented the Briton as just one reason why Apple’s greatest days may be yet to come. Sir Jonathan Paul Ive was born in 1967 and has since become one of this generation’s highest-rated industrial designers. Indeed, it’s not hard to see why he has gained the status of a legend among many of his fellow design professionals. He’s the main man behind the…

After a 13-year reign, Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. is no longer the most valuable brand in the world, according to a global brand consultancy. Apple Inc., a powerhouse in computing with its iPhones, iPads and Macs, now leads Interbrand’s top 100 Best Global Brands list for 2013. The Cupertino, Calif-based company is followed by No. 2 Google Inc., the top search engine and social media company, and the force behind the Android operating system, which powers Samsung and other devices. Interbrand’s latest list reflects the growing clout the technology industry has in influencing consumer tastes and driving demand. Rounding out the top 10 are No. 3 International Business Machines Corp., Microsoft Corp., General Electric Co., McDonald’s Corp., Samsung Electronics Co, Intel Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp. When Apple appeared on the…

Four teens were standing around the local mall’s side entrance, each engaged in typing words into their cell phones while having no verbal words to share with each other. For about fifteen minutes this quartet of texting females kept at it until one of their mothers called out from her minivan that she was there to pick them up. As that mom whisked the girls away, I marveled at how detached these kids seemed to be from each other. Yes, they were together. Yes, they had assembled at a place where the four probably did some shopping and had some laughs, and all seemed genuinely comfortable with the company each kept. Yet ultimately, during the dead time when these high school students could have done some quality catching up, none…

Movies & TV Shows The Heat Meet special agent Sarah Ashburn for the FBI.

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. - A shift in leadership is now upon the tablet mobile computing market. At the year’s mid-point, market intelligence firm ABI Research identified a trio of events signaling Apple’s iPad family of products has passed the baton to the Android ecosystem. During the second quarter of 2013, the number of Androidpowered tablets surpassed iOS-based slates for the first time, tablet-related hardware revenues reached parity, and perhaps most important, the average selling price (ASP) of iPad is rapidly approaching the market average. Overall shipments in the quarter dropped 17% sequentially while growing 23% yearover-year for the same quarterly period. “Smaller 7-inch class tablets are finally the majority of shipments,” says senior practice director Jeff Orr. “The 7.9-inch iPad mini represented about 60% of total iPad shipments and 49%…

ICAHN WANTS APPLE TO SPEND $150B BUYING ITS STOCK Activist investor Carl Icahn is pressuring Apple to spend $150 billion buying back its own stock, a target that would more than double the amount that the company’s board authorized in a previous attempt to placate frustrated shareholders. Icahn took to the Internet and the TV airwaves Tuesday to make it clear that he believes Apple Inc. isn’t doing nearly enough to boost its stock price, which has fallen by 30 percent from its peak in September 2012. The slump has turned Apple’s stock into a bargain, Icahn said on the financial news channel CNBC, making it a “no-brainer” for the maker of the iPhone and iPad to pour more money into its shares. The Apple board pledged in April to…

AMC’s tricky numbering system for “Breaking Bad’s” final season has caused a headache for Apple, which issued credits Monday to fans of the series miffed at being charged twice on iTune. The final season of “Breaking Bad” was originally split into two parts, airing roughly a year apart - eight episodes in 2012 and the final eight currently airing. When fans purchased a season pass to download episodes on iTunes for $22.99, they thought they were getting all 16 episodes of the final season. Instead, when the final episodes began airing last month, they were designated on iTunes as “The Final Season” and viewers were charged another $22.99. Complaints from fans followed, and on Monday, Apple issued a $22.99 credit to fans, allowing them to buy the final eight episodes.…

Apple’s phenomenal success and expansion into buildings across this city over the last decade have already made it hard to know where Cupertino ends and the company begins. But just wait. By the time Apple plops a campus the size of the Pentagon into this city of 60,000 people, Cupertino, Calif., will be more economically dependent on one company than any other Silicon Valley town. Two years after the project was announced, as the details have come into sharper focus, it’s almost impossible to overestimate the effect Apple Campus 2 will have on Cupertino. Apple envisions the 176-acre campus as its own Fortress of Solitude that will cut off northeast Cupertino from the public. This week, the city begins a series of hearings to grant final approval for the project.…

ACalifornia man selling a gold iPhone 5 on eBay said he gave the guy who bid $10,100 a break by canceling the transaction. The anonymous seller told the Los Angeles Times the buyer had committed a potentially costly error by typing in an extra zero in his bid. “It was a mistake/’ said the seller, who canceled the sale Friday. The Times said the coveted gold iPhone 5s retails for $200 with a 2-year contract and more than $1,000 without the contract. The new phone sold briskly after its release. A large number of the devices turned up on eBay and other Internet sale sites shortly after its release.…
