Nokia's mapping service will soon be appearing on all new Samsung smartphones. A deal between the two firms will see a beta version of an Android app for Nokia's Here maps included free on handsets and the Gear S smartwatch. This decision is widely seen as a way to help Samsung distinguish itself from Google which oversees Android. Formerly known as Nokia maps, Here is already used by Yahoo, Amazon and Garmin and it provides map data for Microsoft's Bing search engine. The service covers 190 countries, offers turn-by-turn navigation, tourist information and public transport details. Plus, the maps can be downloaded to a device so they can be used offline.
Car service Uber banned in Germany
Car service Uber has been banned in Germany after a court in Frankfurt ruled that the firm lacked the necessary legal permits to operate under German law.
Car service Uber has been banned in Germany after a court in Frankfurt ruled that the firm lacked the necessary legal permits to operate under German law.
The company was apparently told last week that it could no longer take passengers and faced a fine if it did so but the ruling is a temporary injunction, meaning that the situation could change after a follow-up hearing, Der Spiegel reported. The summary judgment follows the decision by London's transport authorities not to pursue a case against Uber in June this year. The San Francisco-based firm allows passengers to summon cars using an app on their smartphones and calculates the fare en route. It is often significantly cheaper than rival taxi companies.

Microsoft Messenger to shut down completely
Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger will be switched off in China in October, marking a final end to the 15-year-old service. Originally known as MSN Messenger, the service was launched in 1999 but was switched off for most users in 2013, after Microsoft bought rival Skype.
Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger will be switched off in China in October, marking a final end to the 15-year-old service. Originally known as MSN Messenger, the service was launched in 1999 but was switched off for most users in 2013, after Microsoft bought rival Skype. Users in China continued to use the old service but will now be transferred to Skype by 31 October. Windows Live still had as many as 330 million users as recently as 2009 but those numbers later declined, while users of Skype rose to nearly 300 million by 2012. The service came to China in 2005, but later faced stiff competition from domestic rivals such as QQ messenger, built by Chinese firm Tencent.

A leading independent school in Cambridge is making dozens of its courses available free online, so lessons can be downloaded by pupils or teachers at other schools. The ground-breaking initiative will make A-level, IB and GCSE courses available online. They can be downloaded free through Apple's iTunes U service.
The school has been building digital support materials for each subject, including video, audio, written materials and links to online resources. These digital text-books, produced by teachers for their specific lessons, form a library of materials for pupils to follow in class and for revision.
