Mobile car hire service Uber has temporarily cut the price of its cheapest service to match the rate of New York' s yellow cabs.The move follows similar price decreases in San Francisco and Boston. This year Uber raised more than 1bn dollars in capital, it has faced competition from other firms, questions from regulators and angered traditional taxi drivers in cities across the globe, from Berlin to Paris to Madrid. A protest by cab drivers in London in early June caused widespread gridlock, and France has recently been mulling a ban on GPS for car-sharing apps. The drivers, who are paid around 80% of the total fare, will be forced to accept lower payments as a result.

Sniffer Dog found Child Abused Images
A suspect has been arrested after a dog trained to detect electronic circuitry found a memory stick containing images of child sexual abuse hidden in a tin box inside a metal cabinet.
A suspect has been arrested after a dog trained to detect electronic circuitry found a memory stick containing images of child sexual abuse hidden in a tin box inside a metal cabinet.. The dog, that was given to Rhode Island police from Connecticut, completed 22 weeks of training which involved detecting gadgets for food. The only other US gadget-sniffing dog remains stationed in Connecticut. Some UK experts have questioned the efficacy of the training methods as offering a sniffer dog food in exchange for a 'find' opens the way for an abuse of the system: if its hungry enough it will take food from anybody, not just its handler and therefore defeats the object of the search.

Millions of pounds are going to be spent on faster wi-fi for commuter trains across England and Wales. The new service, which could be 10 times faster than the service available at the moment, should be available within three to four years and commuters will in future be able to get a connection through equipment installed alongside the track, rather than the current system of having to find a satellite signal as they go along. Network Rail is being punished by the Office of Rail Regulation for missing key punctuality targets on its long-distance services over five years and the cash will be used to help people get online.
