7．Around 200 people who thought their only experience of the London 2012 Olympic Games would be minor heats of synchronized swimming （花样游泳） have received an unexpected change to the men's 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake．
The London 2012 Organizing Committee （Locog） confirmed on Wednesday that an error in its ticket selling had led to four synchronized swimming competitions being oversold by 10，000 tickets．
Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful．The changes need no additional cost．It has also offered to return any discrepancy （差额） if the new tickets cost less than the originals．Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and that it was doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tickets．
Locog said the error occurred in the summer，between the first and second round of ticket sales，when a member of staff made a mistake，entering"20，000"into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10，000 remaining tickets．The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of tickets that had been sold against the final seating numbers，and began contacting ticket holders before Christmas．
Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky，changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals，and in around 200 cases the hottest of all，the men's 100m final．Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronized swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event，August 5．

6．It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken．In Apple's case，developers can also obtain the location information for each photo．
Senator（参议员） Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday．
"We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private info，"Mr．Schumer said．"They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed．"
On Sunday，Mr．Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission（联邦贸易委员会） asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light．Claudia Bourne Farrell，an F．T．C．spokeswoman，said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further．
"It sends shivers up the spine to think that one's personal photos，address book，and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without consent，"Mr．Schumer wrote in his letter to the F．T．C．"If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion，then surely technology exists to close it，and that's exactly what must happen．"
Mr．Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem，then he would be forced to take the issue further．
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues．"I'm optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation，"he said．"If it's not changed，then we'll look the F．T．C．，and if that doesn't work then we'll look at legislative approach．"
