Apple removes privacy utility app Clueful Posted: Clueful, an application designed to identify how iOS apps use private data and treat privacy has been removed by Apple. However, iPhone owners who already use Clueful privacy may continue to do so, according to a press release. BitDefender, the company behind the app, says it is studying the reasons for removal put forth by Apple. Defender The statement from the company further added that it remains committed to "continued development of Clueful and will resubmit to Apple" once it's worked out what it needs to change. From its study of more than 60,000 popular iOS apps, Clueful found 42.5 per cent were not encrypting users' personal data, even when sending it over public Wi-Fi. Clueful's data also revealed that 41.4 per cent of the analysed apps can track a user's location "While most app developers use this information for legitimate purposes, others might not," said Catalin Cosoi, Bitdefender's chief security researcher. "Clueful was the best way for iPhone owners to know the difference. While Clueful remains off the App Store, we are working hard toward understanding why our app was removed and to develop the app to improve its chances of staying there."

Apple's iTunes Movies in the Cloud service comes to UK users Posted: Apple has extended the iTunes in the Cloud functionality for UK users to movies bought from its store. Thursday's roll-out means that iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac users will be able to, on command, access their movie purchases on the go, through the iCloud online storage portal. iTunes in the Cloud was initially opened up to iTunes Music purchases, books and apps but was extended to TV shows. Now UK users have access to their digital full-length movie purchases also. The new functionality means it's less necessary for users with limited hard-drive space to carry these large files around on their iOS device or MacBook laptop. They can now be downloaded at will by hitting the Cloud icon on the 'Purchased' tab within the iTunes Store and deleted when done, saving valuable space. New countries The roll-out extends to 37 countries in total, with Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and a whole host of countries in South and Central America and throughout the Pacific region among the welcome recipients. Apple has now updated its 'by country' availability pages and UK fans now have access to the full range of services offered by iTunes in the Cloud. Music, Music Videos, Movies, TV Shows, Apps and Books can now stored in the cloud to redownload whenever the user desires. There's also iTunes Match, which scans a user's digital music collection and makes it easily accessible over iCloud for a subscription fee of £21.99 a year.
