With five gaming apps planned for release before March 2017, it's clear that Nintendo has big plans for the mobile gaming market, plans which it now appears could possibly involve the company creating its very own mobile gaming controller. So far Nintendo's mobile offerings have been the social media communication app Miitomo and the yet to be released mobile versions of Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing. None of these titles have mechanics that really cry out for controller support, however, notes taken at the company's recent 76th annual general shareholders meeting revealed that Nintendo is considering developing hardware as well as software as part of its mobile gaming venture. Though not the first time Mario ever appeared (he was originally called Jumpman in a Donkey Kong game) but this 1985 platformer on the NES was praised for "resurrecting a crashed American video game market" - it was the best ever selling video game up until Wii Sports took the title in 2006. As the first outing for Samus Aran in 1986, the female protagonist bounty hunter was said to be hugely inspired by Ridley Scott's 1979 horror film Alien.

The knock at the door from a harassed delivery driver clutching a plastic bag full of food could be about to end. A fleet of autonomous wheeled drones are to be used on the streets of central London to carry meals ordered through the Just Eat takeaway app. Meals will be placed inside the insulated compartments of the droids and customers will be given a secure code to open them when it arrives at their door. Customers order their food online and are given a secret code which will give access to the six-wheel drone (pictured) upon arrival at their door. Unlike robots designed to resemble humans, the Starship's bot is purely functional with a large compartment to hold deliveries, the equivalent size of two grocery bags.

Today on In Case You Missed It: An Osaka University robotics lab produced a dog robot that can run six miles per hour while being the most uncoordinated robot you've seen (that works), and the Soundstage app lets users set up a recording studio to rock out with a VR headset on. The Sunday breakfast machine is worth seeing, as is the winning entry in Amazon's robot Picking Challenge. As always, please share any interesting tech or science videos you find by using the #ICYMI hashtag on Twitter for @mskerryd.

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

Alternatively, you can get the measure of one at Dyson's new "Demo" store in London, which not-so-coincidentally opens its doors today. The first of these interactive spaces debuted in Paris way back in 1999. Over the past couple of years, though, they've come to Tokyo, Jakarta, and now London's shopping-mad Oxford Street. The best way I can describe it is like walking into a fancy infomercial. Products sit on white plinths, illuminated by swish LED spotlights developed by Jake Dyson, son of company frontman James.

Do you get what overfitting means in machine learning? If you don't, then you better learn about it if you want to use or leverage machine learning. Because overfitting can ruin the effectiveness of machine learning. I wrote this blog because I found existing explanations of overfitting to be too technical. I hope this one is more consumable by non specialists. Machine learning involves a fairly complex workflow, see Machine Learning Algorithm!

It is Wednesday, July 6. A 300-pound robot is the new security guard at Uber's inspection lot in San Francisco. Here's what else is happening in the Golden State: When undercover CHP officers shot at suspects in a moving car this weekend, they used a tactic that's been outlawed in many major cities because experts believe it's too dangerous. They fired at a moving car. "Only a fool thinks a … bullet is going to stop a 3,800-pound car. Nobody is really shooting at the vehicle, they're shooting at the driver," said Sid Heal, a retired Los Angeles sheriff's commander and chairman of strategy development for the National Tactical Officers Assn.

Automation has everyone on the edge. According to a recent report by US-based research firm'HfS Research', India's IT services industry, which employs around 3.7 million people, will lose 6.4 lakh jobs to automation in the next five years. The report further adds that the IT industry worldwide would see a net decrease of 9% in headcount, or about 1.4 million jobs, with countries such as the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States also taking hits by 2021. But that is just one part of the story. The wave of'technological unemployment' will have a broader spectrum, say experts.

IBM, Amazon, Facebook and Google are bent on building horizontal platforms around AI, but for Asia, the opportunity to build vertical solutions for startups is the forecasted trend. In an interview with EconomicTimes India, Sanat Rao, partner of IDG Venturs, a venture capital company, said "There is a really big opportunity in sectors such as healthcare and automobiles for AI. Concider a healthcare AI platform that can learn from thousands and even millions of images and can make more accurate diagnosis as it learns."
