Learning a second language when you are young has long been known to boost brainpower. Now researchers have found that the brains of babies exposed to two languages benefit from this extra boost even before they can utter a word. Scientists claim that just growing up in a home or environment where they are listening to more than one language being spoken could improve a child's problem solving skills and memory. Researchers have found that the brains of babies exposed to two languages develop better, even before they can utter a word. They claim that just growing up in a home or environment where they are listening to more than one language being spoken could improve a child's problem solving skills and memory Previous studies suggest that speaking two or more languages from a very young age helps a child's development into adults with more highly refined cognitive skills.

You may think your contacts and photos are safely locked away on your iPhone. But a new bug has been discovered that seemingly lets people unlock iPhone 6S and 6S Plus models without inputting a password or using the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Bypassing the security measures is possible because the bug takes advantage of unauthenticated access to Siri, which can then be used to tap into a phone owner's contacts. A new bug has been reported that appears to let people access private data such as photos and contacts on iPhone 6S and 6S Plus models without inputting a password or using the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Spanish tech expert, Jose Rodriguez, claims to have discovered the bug and demonstrated the exploit in a YouTube video punished under the name Videosdebarraquito.

Facebook is rolling out a new feature that will automatically describe the content of photos to blind and visually impaired users. Called automatic alternative text, the feature uses artificial intelligence to identify visual content and provide a description for people using screen readers. While scrolling through Facebook, blind and visually impaired users will hear the name of the person followed by the word "photo" when they scroll past an image post by a user. Automatic alt text will then describe a list of themes of the image, such as "three people, smiling, outdoors" or "two people, smiling, sunglasses, sky, tree, outdoor". According to Facebook, more than two million photos are shared on social media every day, yet as content becomes more visual, many blind and visually impaired users are left feeling excluded.

A California startup called Zipline International has announced a partnership with the government of Rwanda to use its fixed-wing cargo drones to deliver medical supplies to remote health clinics in the East African nation. The Zip aircraft is made by Bay Area startup Zipline, which will begin drone delivery of blood and medicine to remote Rwandan clinics later this year. SAN FRANCISCO-- How's this for a flight plan to get a drone delivery service financially aloft? Carry cargo that's of live-saving importance, fly long-range fixed-wing aircraft in uncongested skies, and score a government as your first client. That's the atypical approach being taken by Zipline, a Bay Area startup that has raised 18 million in funding from Yahoo founder Jerry Yang, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and others.

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

The story of how the FBI finally tracked down notorious fugitive Lynn Cozart, using its brand-new, 1 billion facial recognition system, seems tailor-made to disarm even the staunchest of skeptics. Cozart, a former security guard in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, was convicted of deviant sexual intercourse in 1996. According to court filings, he had molested his three juvenile children, two girls and one boy, from 1984 through 1994. It wasn't until May 11, 1995, that the children's mother came forward and told the Pennsylvania State Police what Cozart had been doing. He was convicted, but he failed to show up for his sentencing hearing in April 1996. Federal agents raided his home, interviewed family members and released photos of the man to the general public. In August 2006, the Cozart case was featured in "America's Most Wanted," the national television program, under a segment titled "Ten Years of Hell for Three Children."

After the initial shock of having a stroke and becoming paralysed on one side, Jan Morgan was desperate to regain movement and make life easier for her young daughter. Jan was just 50 when she had the stroke in September 2010 and her daughter Imogen 12. It left Jan completely paralysed down her left side, unable even to dress herself, let alone scratch an itch. While daily physiotherapy had helped restore movement to her left leg, after around 18 months Jan's arm was still immobile and she was largely dependent on Imogen. 'The physiotherapist's priority was to get me upright and focused on my lower limbs,' says Jan, now 56.

The rise of the robot writers is here. Computers are replacing human writers without you realising it. Hal just took my job. The Associated Press (AP) already uses them. These robot journalists don't need insurance or a pension, pay or annual leave – or even sleep. This lets publications react to unforeseen events such as earthquakes, in real time, without stirring a human hack from their slumbers.
