Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN – When U.S. drones obliterated a car carrying Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour last month, it was the kind of targeted killing that unmanned aircraft are best known for. But 15 years after a drone first fired missiles in combat, the U.S. military's drone program has expanded far beyond specific strikes to become an everyday part of the war machine. Now, from control booths in the United States and bases around the Middle East, Afghanistan and parts of Africa, drone crews are flying surveillance missions and providing close air support for troops on the ground. "In the wars we fight, this is the future," said drone pilot Lieutenant Shaw, as he stood in a hangar at the air force's drone base in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar. Crews spoke to Reuters on condition that only their first names and rank be used to identify them.

There's no really delicate way to say this, so I'm just going to do it: The vast majority of people have no idea what they're talking about when they talk about drone law. I've noticed this in comment threads on Facebook, on Twitter, on comment threads on Reddit, in bar conversations, etc. If you've engaged in one of these misinformed debates, though, I forgive you: It's not your fault. If you're looking for a simple answer to the question posed in the headline, I'm sorry, I can't give you one. But what I can give you is an exhaustive guide to drone law in the United States. In order to have any idea what's legal to do with a drone and what's not legal to do with a drone, it's necessary to have paid close attention to the FAA's actions over the last three years or so. Some conversations with actual lawyers help, as well.

Tel Aviv-based Wix, a web development platform, is bring artificial intelligence (AI) into website design and creation. The company today launches Wix Artificial Design Intelligence (ADI) -- arguably a first of its kind solution that claims to reduce the time, design and content creation challenges associated with site development. ADI provides intelligent design choices based on data gleaned from some 85 million users of the Wix platform, Nitzan Achsaf, head of Wix ADI, told CMSWire. "It gathers information across the web about your business and it knows where to enter it in the right place on the website, which means that it knows the best content to offer for your website page by page, section by section," Achsaf said. "This hand holding starts at the beginning and continues until you finish your website. It doesn't matter what content you choose. The ADI knows how to build beautiful websites."

DETROIT – General Motors chief executive Mary Barra came out strongly Tuesday for regulations requiring the retention of steering wheels and foot pedals in self-driving cars. As the largest U.S. automaker pushes into developing autonomous cars and trucks, Barra said keeping the vestigial appendages of traditional human-piloted vehicles is crucial for safety. "We do think we have a leadership position in autonomous," Barra said. "It is very important we demonstrate safety. We think having the steering wheel and pedals in the cars is a way to demonstrate safety."

Companies are racing towards creating artificial intelligence. Are we ready for it? It's a female telemarketer with a pleasant voice asking the customer to buy some insurance plan or other. The man answering the phone responds and she provides the proper answer. Then the conversation takes a strange turn when he asks, "Are you a robot?"

Even as the dust settles on the GO board Google's Deepmind AI, coined AlphaGO, has another challenger ready to attempt to unseat the Artificial Intelligence from it's GO throne. Ke Jie, a Chinese GO champion, is determined to prove himself against AlphaGO after the AI defeated Korean GO Grandmaster Lee Sedol. At the ripe old age of 18, Ke Jie believes that he can trump the AI. Ke Jie is considered to be the man to beat, after he defeated Lee Sedol to become the world champion. While the AI is not perfect (it lost one game to then world champion Sedol), it is getting increasingly better at the game as it continues to play different opponents, learning their unique playing styles and incorporating them into it's own.

India, June 7, 2016 – Synechron, Inc., a global consulting and technology innovator in the financial services industry, today released the results of a survey conducted by the TABB Group for Synechron on the potential of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) in financial services. The survey was conducted with 92 banking and capital markets institutions, with executives that are directly involved with technology decisions at their firm. The survey was conducted as part of Synechron's initiative to identify how blockchain and AI can be applied efficiently within financial services firms. As part of this effort, Synechron held its InSync Forum at the Metropolitan Club in Manhattan in April. At the event, senior executives and technologists from 14 leading financial institutions gathered to discuss how blockchain and artificial intelligence/machine learning could be applied within their enterprises.

Fans of the computer game, Minecraft, may have already grown their own Yellow Meranti tree. But unlike on your computer screen, Yellow Meranti trees are huge and can grow to be as tall as 20 double-decker buses. Researchers have now found a tree in Malaysia which stands at a massive 89.5 metres tall, placing it 1.2 metres ahead of the previous record holder. The tree is part of the forest known as'Sabah's Lost World' - the Maliau Basin Conservation Area, one of Malaysia's last few untouched wildernesses The huge tree was discovered by scientists from the University of Cambridge working with the Sabah Forestry Department to help protect the area's biodiversity. Dr David Coomes, who led the study, said: 'It's a smidgen taller than the record, which makes it quite probably the tallest tree recorded in the Tropics!' At 89.5 metres, it is the height of 20 double decker buses, and just shorter than Big Ben.
