India in talks on BlackBerry e-mail access: source

India, which along with several other countries has expressed concerns that BlackBerry services could be used to stir political or social instability, had threatened RIM with a ban if it were denied access to data.

A spokeswoman for RIM, which has never commented on whether the Indian government has access to BlackBerry services, was not immediately available for comment.

The Indian interior ministry said on Aug. 30 that the Canadian firm had offered several ways to allow authorities to monitor BlackBerry communications. The government said it would check their feasibility over the next 60 days.

Saudi Arabia, fretful over services such as online pornography, has reached a deal with RIM on access to the BlackBerry Messenger instant messaging service, a consumer product that operates outside of the secure corporate domain, according to government sources.

Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have raised similar concerns, with the UAE setting an Oct. 11 deadline for RIM.

Apple To Acquire Polar Rose Face Recognition Firm

Apple has acquired Polar Rose, a Swedish company that makes facial recognition software that can be used in the cloud, on a computer or on iPhone and Android smartphones.

Norwegian Mac site Mac1 reported the acquisition on Monday, according to a translation of the site via Google Translate. Financial details were not disclosed. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

Polar Rose has developed  technology that uses complex algorithms to identify photos, so they can be linked to other information. The company focuses on facial recognition, making the technology particularly useful in social networks. For example, the technology could be used to identify and tag people in a group photo.

What Apple has planned for the Polar Rose technology is not known. The company does not comment on future product plans. However, Apple uses facial recognition technology in iPhoto to help users organize their photos based on particular people.
