Consumers Wary of Location-Based Services
Location-based ads prompt nearly half of customers to take action, says a new study from Microsoft.
The software giant commissioned research in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, the U.S. and Canada, and found that 18 percent of consumers (22 percent in the U.S.) have seen an ad based on their location. Of those, 46 percent have taken action, including redeeming the coupon offered or visiting the store. Nine in 10 users think location-based ads are useful.
These findings were part of a larger study of whether consumers are sanguine or spooked by anything location-related.
The good news is that nearly all people who use location-based services think they're valuable. Still, many users think the risks outweigh the benefits.
Just over half of respondents (51 percent) had shared their location through services such as Facebook Places and Foursquare.
Of U.S. users, 99 percent thought the services were useful, but more than half (52 percent) said they were concerned about the potential loss of privacy. The most commonly used services: "practical" services such as GPS (70 percent of users), weather alerts (46 percent), traffic alerts (38 percent), and finding a restaurant (38 percent).
Just 5 percent of those surveyed use location-based services every day, though the number jumps to 10 percent in the U.S. (Japan, for the record, had the highest awareness of Facebook Places et al, the highest general usage, and the fewest privacy concerns.)
The major users of location-based services in all countries: young men aged 18-34.
Two-thirds of users prefer using free location-based service apps. Just 27 percent of U.S. users say they'd pay for the service, though Americans were the most willing to pay of any country surveyed. (Canadians were the least willing, with 16 percent saying they'd pay.) The average amount consumers are willing to fork over: less than $10.
Other findings: Fewer than one in five users tried services that tell others where they are, or finds the location of others.
The most popular services were Google Latitude or Places (52 percent of those surveyed had tried them) and Facebook Places (50 percent). Fifteen percent of U.S. users had tried Foursquare – the highest usage of any country.

How to change the screen time-out on Android
Earlier today, I was helping my brother set up his new Motorola Defy. While the phone itself was quite nice (and tough), the screen kept turning off after just a few seconds of idle time. It was starting to drive us crazy, but after quickly poking through the settings we fixed it. Here's how:
1) Go to Settings > Display
2) Tap Screen timeout
3) Tap the timeout value you wish to use
Of course there's a trade-off between convenience and battery life - having the screen time out after two whole minutes can be nice, but your battery may not last very long. And while you're here, you can also easily adjust your display's brightness.
This tip wraps up this week's Tips series. What would you like to see next week? Let me know in the comments!

Recap 2010: Gran Premio d?Italia TIM
MotoGp's comprehensive summary of the fourth round of the season at the Mugello Circuit offers you the chance to re-live the best of the action, with easy one-click access to the video highlights.Mugello played host to the World Championship on the first weekend of June as round four called on the beautiful Tuscan countryside, and with the weather remaining fine throughout the three days it was an eventful stage in Italy.
The official pre-event saw some World Championship riders attempt to make a traditional Italian pizza, although their dough skills failed to match up to their abilities on board a motorcycle! The serious business began later that afternoon as a quintet of the MotoGP stars ? Nicky Hayden, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso and Marco Simoncelli ? attended the pre-race press conference as anticipation for the race grew.
The time for talking was soon over as the on-track action commenced and it was reigning World Champion Valentino Rossi who took control of the opening practice session, setting the fastest time as Casey Stoner experienced a difficult start to the session.
