Uncharted 4 has won the best game at this year's Bafta Games Awards. Developers from its studio, Naughty Dog, said it was "unexpected" that the action adventure title had won, having missed out on the other seven categories it had been nominated for. Chaotic restaurant kitchen game Overcooked took the prize for best British game and family title. The puzzle-platformer Inside had four wins, the most of any game at the London ceremony. It took original property, artistic achievement, game design and narrative.

One Monday afternoon in April 2013, 19-year-old Jordan Green was working in a liquor store in Adelaide, Australia, when two men in balaclavas holding a shotgun entered the store, jumped the counter, held the gun to his head, and demanded his co-worker open the store's safe. It isn't the typical foundation for a company, but this is how Jemsoft was born. As a pragmatist, Green told ZDNet that he approached the situation by questioning how they entered the store with automatic doors and security cameras. Fortunately, Green was also a programmer involved in robotics. "The question in my head was why is it that someone who so clearly was not here to grab a slab could come into the local bottle-o and threaten my life and the life of my co-worker -- who to my knowledge has not returned to work. You could say that I took a pretty radical career change because I then left uni, left that job, and tried to build a company, which is not something a sane person would do," he said.

Back in October, Deschutes Brewery Inc.'s Brian Faivre was fermenting a batch of Obsidian Stout in a massive tank. Something was amiss; the beer wasn't fermenting at the usual temperature. Luckily, a software system triggered a warning and he fixed the problem. "We would have had to dump an entire batch," the brewmaster said. When beer is your bottom line, that's a calamity.

The emergence of terrorist drones flown by ISIS in Iraq has fueled interest in drone-defense technology – while raising questions about whether the U.S. is ready for potential drone terrorist attacks on the homeland. Over the last six months, ISIS has increased its use of weaponized and surveillance drones against Iraqi and U.S. forces. U.S. Central Command told Fox News coalition troops have as many as 30 encounters a week with unmanned aerial vehicles. These drones are inexpensive ones modified to drop grenades or to surveil troop movements. Underscoring the accessibility and affordability of these drones: During the last two months, the U.S. military has destroyed at least five ISIS drone facilities, including one factory and four storage facilities.

A girl living with a group of monkeys in a wildlife sanctuary was found by police near the Nepalese border in India. Now the girl -- who didn't appear to understand any language and was walking on all fours -- has been dubbed a "real life Mowgli" after the feral child from Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book." Officers found the girl with a pack of wild monkeys two months ago, while performing a routine patrol in the Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary near the Nepalese border, authorities told the Times of India. When officers tried to communicate with the girl, she and the monkeys both screeched at the approaching humans. Authorities were eventually able to convince her to come with them, and she has been recuperating in a local hospital ever since.

EE is the best mobile operator for 4G coverage in 14 of the most populated areas in the UK, says a new report. The network dominated rival firms O2, Vodafone and Three, according to statistics from RootMetrics. It assessed coverage in Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds and Bradford, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield. EE, which last year announced plans to move its heavily criticised customer services to the UK, delivered at least 90% coverage in 11 of the 14 areas, while Three failed to hit that figure in any of the cities included in the report. O2 and Vodafone, meanwhile, only hit the 90% mark in three areas.

When news hit yesterday that serial entrepreneur and futurist Elon Musk was investing in a brain chip venture called Neuralink, the billionaire's fan club went wild. Theories ranged from this being Musk's bold plan to forestall an AI apocalypse to more measured responses about this being a promising contribution toward curing neurodegenerative diseases. Some also, only half-jokingly it seems, accused Musk of having played a little too much Mass Effect: Andromeda over the weekend. But to unpack Neuralink's purported goal a little further, you have to understand what is and is not currently possible in the realm of neuroscience, and why Silicon Valley is putting more time, money, and energy into exploring cognitive enhancement. Neuralink isn't the first company to look into what are called brain-computer interfaces, however it is perhaps the most high profile now that Musk's name is attached.

Of course, it's true that we all use our phones to record video and shoot photos. The new Clips app lets you make professional-looking video clips in seconds that work brilliantly. When you open the app, the selfie camera is up and running, ready to record when you are. You can shoot in portrait or landscape orientation as the result is a square piece of footage. Choose Live Titles, an icon at the top left of the display, and when you press the red bar the app starts filming.

Apple is being sued by Australia, after its phones started breaking with no warning. A new case from the country's consumer watchdog accuses the company of "bricking", or remotely disabling, phones with a software update. That follows the controversy over what was dubbed "Error 53" – named after the message that was displayed after the update arrived and wouldn't allow people to use their phone. Specifically, the problem arose when people had their screens fixed by a non-Apple repairer. That triggered what Apple said was a security measure, but others complained was an unfair change, which meant that the phones wouldn't turn back on and couldn't be fixed again by Apple. 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.

It is a tide that never recedes. Day by day, year on year it grows. Estimates are currently at trillions of pieces and counting, with over 60% of the oceans being heavily contaminated with plastics. With each piece of plastic taking over 400 years to degrade, our oceans, all marine life, and even our own health and livelihoods are in real danger of drowning. We see evidence of the plastic tide on all our beaches and coastlines by ever growing amounts, with small plastic pieces increasing 2.5 fold in the last decade.
