Nintendo has unveiled the Switch, the company's first games console since the disappointing Wii U. As its name suggests, the Nintendo Switch prides itself on versatility, with the surprisingly small handheld/console hybrid capable of being hooked up to a TV at home or being used in multiple modes on the go. Here's everything you need to know about the Nintendo Switch, ahead of its release.

Radiation levels inside the damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor are over 100 times fatal levels, the highest they've been since the triple meltdown in March, 2011, according to operator Tepco. The company recently sent a camera-equipped robot into the reactor, which relayed images showing a meter-wide hole in the pressure vessel (above), with possible melted uranium fuel on a grating below. "It may have ... melted and made a hole in the [containment] vessel, but it is only a hypothesis at this stage," a company spokesperson told the AFP. Since the accident, the highest recorded level in the plant was around 73 sieverts per hour, but a new reading, estimated from a camera that was sent in on Monday, shows an "unimaginable" 530 sieverts per hour, according to an expert. A dose of one sievert can cause radiation sickness, while 10 sieverts would kill you in a few weeks.

Radiation levels inside a stricken reactor at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant have hit a record high. Levels are now so high that they could kill off robots sent in to probe the reactors. The development casts doubt over how the disaster-hit facility will be safely dismantled in the future.

Friday, 3rd of February, 2017, Baltimore, MD - Insilico Medicine today announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and started the first collaborative research project with one of the largest research and medical networks, Gachon University and Gil Medical Center. The intent of the long-term collaboration is to develop artificially intelligent multimodal biomarkers of aging and health status as well as interventions intended to slow down or even reverse the processes leading to the age-related loss of function. "We are happy to collaborate with Insilico Medicine, one of the leaders in AI with a specific focus on practical aging research in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. The field of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and in addition to our own cutting-edge research programs, we collaborate with other leaders to expedite progress and ensure that we can save and extend human life sooner", said Dr. Lee Uhn, Director of AI-based Precision Medicine at Gachon University, Gil Medical Center. The first MOU between the companies was signed on November 18th, but the first project launched and data exchange transpired in January 2017.

In light of the increased digitalization in the financial services industry and an uproar of disruptive fintech technologies in Southeast Asia, Software AG today released its top five predictions for the banking industry in Asia Pacific for 2017. "There will be some seismic shifts in the banking industry in 2017, as threats and opportunities from digital banks, fintech and regulation continue to shake the business landscape in Asia," Anneliese Schulz, Vice President, Software AG Asia. This year will finally see banks begin to wrap their arms around their most valuable asset: client data. While banks have spent millions of dollars to collect the data, few have dedicated themselves to fully operationalizing the insights to be gleaned from it by using predictive analytics and machine learning. In fact, a recent survey by Options Group revealed that to maximize the opportunities offered by emerging technologies, banks are expected to hire significant technology specialists, aimed at turning data into actionable insights.

The safety standards to be introduced in Japan also include setting speed limits depending on road curvature and functionality to enable a driver to switch from automated to manual driving when there is a risk of an accident.

A fleet of autonomous trucks is joining all the self-driving taxis and buses Singapore is testing on its streets. Toyota and Volkswagen subsidiary Scania will begin the first full-scale autonomous truck platooning trial in the country this month. For the next three years, the two companies will operate a fleet of trucks composed of three autonomous vehicles following a manned one to transport cargo between ports.

A private parking firm has created an app that promises to pay users to report illegally parked cars. UK Car Park Management's (UK CPM) i-Ticket app, which is available for free on Google Play and the App Store, pays a £10 commission to users who upload a picture of the vehicle and its registration number. The company then uses DVLA data to send a £60 fine to the vehicle owner, a fee that rises to £100 if it isn't paid within two weeks.

Bert Loomis was a visionary. This general session will highlight how Bert Loomis and people like him inspire us to build great things with small inventions. In their general session at 19th Cloud Expo, Harold Hannon, Architect at IBM Bluemix, and Michael O'Neill, Strategic Business Development at Nvidia, will discuss the accelerating pace of AI development and how IBM Cloud and NVIDIA are partnering to bring AI capabilities to "every day," on-demand. They will also review two "free infrastructure" programs available to startups and innovators. Speaker Bios Harold Hannon has worked in the field of software development as both an architect and developer for more than 15 years, with a focus on workflow, integration, and distributed systems.

With all the incredible momentum behind the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, it is easy to forget that not a single CEO wakes up and wonders if "my IoT is broken." What they wonder is if they are making the right decisions to do all they can to increase revenue, decrease costs, and improve customer experience - effectively the same challenges they have always had in growing their business. The exciting thing about the IoT industry is now these decisions can be better, faster, and smarter. Now all corporate assets - people, objects, and spaces - can share information about themselves and their surroundings. And this data can help make better decisions through improved insights.
