Every time North Korea launches a missile, experts pore over photographs and videos to learn more about the country's weapons capabilities. It's a form of kremlinology, one where something so seemingly trivial as Kim Jong-un's coat carries significant meaning. But you don't have to be an analyst at the CIA or the MI6 or any other three-letter agency to do this. Using a video of Tuesday's launch of what experts said is an ICBM capable of reaching Alaska, you can figure out the missile's acceleration. Let me show you how.

Media players configured for piracy "challenge recent progress" against illegal streaming, a new report says. The popularity of such devices, which have become widely known as "fully loaded Kodi boxes", has surged recently. According to new research from the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), such media players are proving tricky for authorities to deal with. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

Camera company Red has launched an extremely expensive new smartphone that's as baffling as it is surprising. The firm has revealed very few concrete details about the Hydrogen One, but has made a multitude of vague but elaborate claims about it. It's set to ship from the first quarter of 2018. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

Prince Harry has urged young people to take a break from their phones from time to time. Speaking at an event in Leeds this week, he said youngsters can be overly reliant on technology. He believes that taking a break from our devices can help us become "more effective and efficient", and help us cope with the pace of modern life. Harry also took the opportunity to raise awareness of mental health issues. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

The complex idea behind the term digital transformation is that technology has created a fundamental shift in how organizations operate. The consumerization of technology - and the customer empowerment it created - has upended the traditional operating paradigm of organizations moving it away from a capital and process-centric model to a customer-centric one. The need to digitally transform your organization is now - or at least should be - a strategic imperative. The fact, however, that the term digital transformation is now a bona fide buzzword has obfuscated its importance. The problem is that we create buzzwords because we need a simple, shorthand way of communicating what is otherwise a complex idea.

Artificial-intelligence technology is all around us, in the form of voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and more. But this technology extends beyond recognizing a song or telling us the weather. At last year's Business Insider IGNITION conference, David Kenny, the general manager of IBM's Watson division, discussed the AI project. According to Kenny, Watson is most advanced in the health field. One example of its success potentially saved a life.

Dean Kamen's DEKA R&D firm, with support from DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetics Program, designed the advanced prosthetic LUKE Arm to give amputees "dexterous arm and hand movement through a simple, intuitive control system." The LUKE Arm, which stands for Life Under Kinetic Evolution but is also a reference to Luke Skywalker's bionic hand, "allows users to control multiple joints simultaneously and provides a variety of grips and grip forces by means of wireless signals generated by sensors worn on the feet or via other easy-to-use controllers."

AsianScientist (July 7, 2017) - Researchers at Beihang University in China have developed an artificial neural network that can aid lung cancer detection. Their results have been published in Science China Information Sciences. Lung cancer is one of the most deadly cancers, with a five-year survival rate of 16 percent. Early detection is important as the survival rate rises to 52 percent if lung cancer is diagnosed in the early stages. In clinical practice, computer tomography (CT) can capture fine-grained details for both lung nodules and surround structures, acting as the golden standard for diagnosis.
