In America, 60 percent of digital media consumption now occurs on mobile or tablet devices instead of desktop computers. As people and technology have become increasingly mobile, so have their efforts to find love and sex. According to app analytics website AppAnnie, the dating application Tinder is one of the most popular tools to pursue modern romance and has been ranked as the most downloaded lifestyle app in America for nearly two years. As a social psychologist, I've focused my research on exploring why Tinder – as one of my interview participants put it – is so'evilly satisfying.' A researcher set out to explore why Tinder is so'evilly satisfying' and conducted a study with singles who use the app and those who do not A researcher from the University of Hawaii conducted a survey with a group of Tinder users and singles who do not use the app.

It's said that the Queen must think everywhere smells of paint, as a fresh coat is usually applied to spruce up places just before she visits. In which case, Tim Cook must think everyone he meets is very excitable, because there's nothing like a visit from the Apple CEO to create the feeling of A Special Event. Every person he meets is quietly fizzing with anticipation. Tim Cook has been having quite the week. On Monday and Tuesday he was whistlestopping round France and Germany, arriving in the UK on Wednesday.

Intel realizes there will be a post-Moore's Law era and is already investing in technologies to drive computing beyond today's PCs and servers. The chipmaker is "investing heavily" in quantum and neuromorphic computing, said Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel, during a question-and-answer session at the company's investor day on Thursday. "We are investing in those edge type things that are way out there," Krzanich said. To give an idea of how far out these technologies are, Krzanich said his daughter would perhaps be running the company by then. Researching in these technologies, which are still in their infancy, is something Intel has to do to survive for many more decades.

Employees stand outside the new Amazon Go grocery store in Seattle, Washington, U.S., on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2016. Inc. unveiled technology that will let shoppers grab groceries without having to scan and pay for them -- in one stroke eliminating the checkout line. Are no-checkout stores like Amazon Go going to become common-place by 2025? Why or why not? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world. There is little doubt, many if not all of the concepts from the Amazon Go store will be adopted by A-level retailers over the next 5 years.

Radiation inside Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant reached such astronomical levels Thursday that not even a robot could survive inside. A remote controlled cleaning machine sent into the incapacitated plant had to be pulled out after it ceased to function due to high levels of radiation. It was the first time a robot had entered the No. 2 reactor since the plant's meltdown in 2011. Radiation reached "unimaginable" levels recently, experts told The Japan Times. The previous high was measured at 73 sieverts per hour, one year after the disaster.

The UK's biggest internet service providers (ISPs) recently started sending "educational messages" to customers recorded using their web connection to share pirated content. One such alert sent to an anonymous customer by Sky has been published by TorrentFreak, and it reveals a few more details about how the Get It Right from a Genuine Site campaign works.

We want to hear how you would harness machine learning to have a truly positive effect on society. The ability to recognise patterns has been fundamental in the progression of modern civilisation: from sailors using the night sky to navigate the oceans, to scientists observing natural phenomena to construct theories of the world. With the advent of powerful computers and large datasets, these days machine learning (ML) is allowing computers to recognise patterns and learn from data like never before. You can already see this in the world around you: online retailers suggest products you might be interested in, your phone can translate spoken words to text on the screen and cars are learning to drive themselves. This year we've expanded the competition and encourage students aged 16 to apply.

Ed Hess is a professor of business administration at the Darden School of Business at University of Virginia and co-author of the new book "Humility Is the New Smart: Rethinking Human Excellence in the Smart Machine Age." American manufacturing job losses to China and Mexico were a major theme of the presidential campaign, and President Trump has followed up on his promise to pressure manufacturers to keep jobs here rather than send them abroad. Already, he has jawboned automakers Ford, General Motors, Toyota and Fiat Chrysler and heating and cooling manufacturer Carrier into keeping and creating jobs in the United States. What he hasn't yet addressed -- but should -- is the looming technology tsunami that will hit the U.S. job market over the next five to 15 years and likely destroy tens of millions of jobs due to automation by artificial intelligence, 3-D manufacturing, advanced robotics and driverless vehicles -- among other emerging technologies. The best research to date indicates that 47 percent of all U.S. jobs are likely to be replaced by technology over the next 10 to 15 years, more than 80 million in all, according to the Bank of England.

Google has launched a new app called YouTube Go, which allows users with poor signal or limited data to download videos from the site for offline viewing.

Customers should approach online reviews of health products with caution, say University of Aberdeen researchers. An analysis of clinical trial data and user-generated online reviews has shown that customers are prone to exaggerating the effects of weight loss and cholesterol treatments, especially when they have positive results.
