| Phone app is watching |
不靠譜的應(yīng)用程序 |
| The AP reported the results of a scan of nearly 300,000 free applications for Apple Inc.'s iPhone and phones built around Google Inc.'s Android software by Lookout Inc. The mobile-phone security firm's scan reveals that nearly a quarter of iPhone apps and almost half of Android apps secretly pull sensitive data off users' phones and ship them to third parties without notification. The data may contain information about users' contacts, pictures, text messages and Internet and search histories. The information is used by companies and advertisers to target ads and learn more about their users. The danger, though, is that the data may become susceptible to hacking and used in identity theft if the third party doesn't secure the information. |

| IMF split in yuan debate |
國際社會對人民幣松口 |
| An IMF board statement on Wednesday said several countries on the 24-member executive board believed the yuan was undervalued, according to Reuters. But others said a structural reduction in the balance of payments surplus was already taking place thanks to steps taken to boost consumption, and disagreed with the assessment of IMF staff economists that the yuan was "substantially undervalued." Beijing dropped the yuan's 23-month-old peg to the dollar and reverted to a managed float on June 19, since which time it has inched up 0.7 percent against the dollar. |
