How Video Games Can Save The World
The new book, Power Play: How Video Games Can Save The World, by Asi Burak and Laura Parker, was just released. Asi is well known in the game world as the creator of PeaceMaker and the former executive director of Games For Change. For quite a while now, he has been the go-to source for understanding the social impact gaming movement. But what really struck me is how clearly the book expresses the possibilities that still lie ahead for digital play. When I finished reading it, I was clearly reminded that the video game industry is still in it's infancy.
Three makes calling and texting over Wi-Fi easier when customers have no signal
Three has made its Wi-Fi calling service significantly easier to use, which should help customers cut their monthly mobile bills. Previously, users could only take advantage of the feature through Three's additional inTouch app, which delivered a less-than-pleasant user experience. However, customers can now make calls and send texts over a Wi-Fi connection without the app. It's a handy service, allowing users to both save money and stay in touch with friends and family whenever a Wi-Fi network is available, even when signal is poor or non-existent. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

Digital Initiatives create new ways of conducting business, which drive the need for increasingly advanced security and regulatory compliance challenges with exponentially more damaging consequences. In the BMC and Forbes Insights Survey in 2016, 97% of executives said they expect a rise in data breach attempts in the next 12 months. Sixty percent said operations and security teams have only a general understanding of each other's requirements, resulting in a "SecOps gap" leaving organizations unable to mobilize to protect themselves. The result: many enterprises face unnecessary risks to data loss and production downtime. In his general session at 18th Cloud Expo, Atwell Williams, Senior Director of Customer Experience at BMC, covered BMC's innovative solution to deliver vigilant compliance, precise threat analytics and relentless remediation in pursuit of security for the digital era.
Why Daniel Kahneman Is Really Excited About AI
This essay appears in today's edition of the Fortune Brainstorm Health Daily. Get it delivered straight to your inbox. Those of you who read the Fortune CEO Daily--penned each morning at an ungodly hour by my boss, Alan Murray--got a taste of what seems like a fascinating panel on artificial intelligence at Davos. The panel included Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind (gobbled up for a song by Google in 2014), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Dow CEO Andrew Liveris, and the cognitively impressive head of IBM Watson, David Kenny, whom I interviewed at length in October. You can find Alan's full post from this morning here.
Discovery channels' final day on Sky TV: How to watch Animal Planet and Eurosport after they disappear
Deadline day has arrived for Sky, which is unlikely to reach a deal with Discovery Communications over its portfolio of 13 channels.

Kingdom Hearts 2.8 review: A sliver of what you've been waiting for
To say the Kingdom Hearts franchise is difficult for new players would be a similar understatement to saying: 'Aren't people a bit miffed about the EU referendum vote?' We've had: Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chains of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Encoded, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, prequel Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, and more. The plot has become nightmarish to follow for anyone but hardcore fans and the series' original hook (a game that appeals to as many people as possible thanks to the inclusion of Disney characters) has been lost. The latest release from Square Enix is the bafflingly named Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. The disc features a high definition remaster of Nintendo 3DS game Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, a new installment (deep breath now) Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth By Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage, and a cinematic titled Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, which details events not shown in the original χ game. So, what story elements do you need to know from the original games?
EA down: Fifa, Battlefield and Madden all go offline as game developer's servers not working
Fifa, Madden and Battlefield have all stopped working online. Players are unable to get onto the EA servers at all because of a problem with the company's servers.

The Ghost Olympic Event: Machine Learning Startup Acquisition
With no lack of drama both on and off the track, the 31st Summer Olympics and its 39 events have been wrapped up recently. As the city of Rio is preparing for the first Paralympic Games to take place in the Southern Hemisphere, some are experiencing Synchronized Swimming, Canoe Slalom and Modern Pentathlon withdrawal symptoms. As Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps and Simone Biles stole the show, Silicon Valley has not just quietly sat and watched the proceedings. In fact, VCs, investment bankers and tech giants active in the Machine Learning space have been in a race of their own that goes on unabated even if they don't get the benefit of prime time NBC TV coverage. It is fair to say that we have been witnessing the unfolding of the ghost Olympic event of Machine Learning startup acquisition.

NeuroCAP will be cheaper and more convenient for doctors, as well as more comfortable for their patients. We also just released a child-themed EEG cap, so young patients see a silly hat instead of a scary brain-scanning machine.) We do not compete with other EEG manufacturers, and don't plan to. Older-generation EEG-devices are ill-adapted for these markets; they also require trained neurologists to interpret the results and reach a diagnosis. But now, the advent of cloud storage, big data, microelectronics and wireless technology allows us to expand EEG's horizons.
