The Commissioner of Charities (COC) has suspended governing board members, trustees, employees, agents and Executive members of City Harvest Church under the Charities Act.

In a statement released to the media, COC said it instituted an Inquiry into the City Harvest Church (the Charity) on 31 May 2010 under the Charities Act. Concurrently, the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) commenced investigations into financial transactions involving several individuals and companies, related or connected to the Charity.

Both the COC and CAD have since concluded its Inquiry and investigations, respectively which revealed serious misconduct and mismanagement in the administration of the Charity, particularly in relation to the funds that were in the Building Fund which had been raised and earmarked for specific purposes.

More shockingly, financial irregularities of at least $23 million from the Charity’s funds have been discovered which were used with the purported intention to finance Ho Yeow Sun’s secular music career to connect with people.

Over a period of 3 years (2007 to 2010), at least $23 million was used. However, during this period of time, the Executive members were not told of the actual purpose of the use of these funds.

There was also a concerted effort to conceal this movement of funds from its stakeholders.

Facebook Allows Find Friends With Same Profiles and Location: Facebook has launched Find Friends Nearby, an application for smartphones that allows you to find friends and similar profiles through a geolocation service. Only available in the mobile version of Facebook for iPhone OS and Android.

What was initially intended to call as Friendshake is the new bet Zuckerberg after it announced two months ago Glancee acquisition, a similar service allowing the user to know if anyone was around with the same interests.

Find friends of friends or people with similar interests are two major functions that have this application that, according to Techcrunch, it could be something to incorporate as a placement service, rather than an app that has to be activated for use at all times.

Facebook helps find friends and matches that are near the user. Help the user find friends who are nearby and are also using Friendsake. But if the user does not leave through geolocation Facebook this place you can not access the application if it does not give permission to the platform. Once the user is in the app you will see a list of friends you have near your location, as well as those who are using the application s contacts

It is unclear whether Friendshake has been created from the acquisition or has developed as a result of something entirely different. According to Techcrunch, the first news about the existence of the new mobile app from the developer was Roger Pincombe, who got information on how to work by a Facebook developer in Angelhack, a festival that brings together about a thousand hackers San Francisco to finally offer the winner a figure of $ 200,000.

For Friendshake is put into operation, users must be registered and logged in to Facebook and specifically also in the application itself. For now it seems that the purpose of this service is solely based geolocation add people that the user is in a specific event.

Ryan Patterson, the original Facebook engineer, explained the project stating that “the ideal case of use of this product is when you’re with a group of people who have recently met and with whom you want to stay in touch.”

Prior to this, Facebook already had a Location, My Location, but did not work in real time, and was more in finding friends and not so much make new friends. When this feature is enabled, allows users to see the contacts who have visited the same places, or having the check-in ‘to an event on Facebook.

Google launches TV: Google TV Will Arrive Shortly to Europe by Sony: Google TV hit UK on 16 July by Sony, who will release his first ‘hardware’ with direct access to the platform. Other European countries, including Spain, have to wait a few months to see the online TV service from Google.

The online search giant already has experience in the industry with its launch of Google TV in the U.S. two years ago. Since then Google has worked on the redesign of the interface of this technology to be launched in other markets. Special versions of Youtube, Twitter and some websites, and a search system specially designed for television, several of the innovations of the new design of Google.

The company whose search engine is the most used by users expected to increase the number of users who choose to rent movies and other content through the new service it offers. A company spokesman said the Internet through the TV needed to be “supported a richer experience” than it is on your computer.

Given the rivalry between Google and Apple is not surprising that there are rumors that Tim Cook and his team are working on similar technology. However, the philosophy of both companies appears the same as in the mobile sector. While Apple seems to work on their own platform, Google made available from leading manufacturers its commitment to use it freely.

The July 16 is the date the ‘set-top box’ NSZ-GS7 with Google TV from Sony will strike out in Britain and the U.S., and then in Canada, Australia and several European and South American countries. It first premiered at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last January. In addition, for October is scheduled to launch player ‘blu-ray’ to take into Google TV, called GP9.

The managing director of Sony in the UK and Ireland, Gildas Pelliet, claimed that the new devices expand “the scope and interoperability of the power of the Android platform with smartphones, ‘tablets’ and audio and video products from Sony” .

Google’s browser is built into the device, which also features a remote that has a ‘touchpad’ on one side and a full keyboard on the other. In fact, a ‘smartphone’ or a ‘tablet’ can also be used as a remote control through the free Remote Media.
