Apple gears up for technology integration with Cisco

Technology giant Apple is working on plans to facilitate integration of Cisco's Spark business collaboration service with iPhones in an effort to offer enterprise customers a better calling experience over Internet.

Apple chief Tim Cook has said the company is making iOS devices to work better on Ciscotechnologies than any other mobile platform.

"With iOS 10, we are making it easier to make and receive voice and video calls over IP (Internet Protocol). Now, Cisco Spark will integrate with iPhone for first-class calling experience. It's a seamless integration," Cook said in a video message at the Cisco Live Conference here.

Last year, Cisco had forged a strategic partnership with Apple, under which it optimised its network for iOS devices and apps, integrating iPhones with its solutions and providing collaboration capabilities on iPhones and iPads.

"Together with Cisco, we believe that we can take the work experience to the next level by ensuring that iPhones and iPads work together with Cisco technologies," Cook said.

Apple has been working closely with Cisco teams to help create a seamless experience of Cisco software and network on iOS gadgets.

The iOS integration with Spark will give users access to contacts, 'recents', and favourites. Users will also be able to answer calls directly from the lock screen.

A 19-year-old Britsh man has been charged for trying to grab a police officer's gun at aDonald Trump rally in Las Vegas in a bid to kill the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

According to a complaint filed in federal court in Nevada,Michael Sandford tried to disarm the officer at Saturday's rally at the Mystere Theatre in the Treasure Island Casino before being overpowered.

It said the young man told a Secret Service agent after hisarrest that he had driven from California to Las Vegas "to kill Trump," and had been to a range a day earlier to learn to shoot as he had never fired a gun before.

"Sandford acknowledged that he would likely only be able to fire one to two rounds and stated he was convinced he would be killed by law enforcement during his attempt on Trump's life," the complaint said.

It added that Sandford told investigators he had purchased tickets for a rally in Phoenix, where he "would try again to kill Trump" in the event his plan in Las Vegas failed.

Video of his arrest carried by US media show a skinny man with short brown hair and a grey T-shirt being escorted out of the rally by police officers with his hands behind his back.

The prosecutor's office said Sandford was ordered held without bond, as he was considered dangerous and represented a flight risk.

Britain's Foreign Office is "providing assistance" in the case, a spokesman said. Read More
