SpaceX launches Japanese satellite; successfully lands rocket booster on drone ship
One month after landing its first-stage rocket booster on a drone ship, SpaceX repeated the feat and launched a commercial communications satellite late Thursday night. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was launched at 10:21 p.m. PST from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, and video of the event was streamed live. Weather conditions pushed the launch from Wednesday to Thursday. The Falcon 9 rocket carried the JCSAT-14 satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. The satellite, operated by the Japanese communications company SKY Perfect JSAT Corp., will replace another of the firm's satellites and provide coverage to Asia, Oceania, Russia and the Pacific Islands.
Babies don't learn how to imitate others until at least two months old
When a proud parent coos, or pokes out their tongue it warms their heart to see their baby following suit and many believe their little darling is copying them as they peer over the cot. But new research has found that babies up to the age of two months are incapable of copying facial expressions, gestures or speech. Instead, any exaggerated movements the newborns make are simply because they are responding to excitement to the interaction. When a proud parent coos, or pokes out their tongue, it warms their heart to see their baby following suit and many believe their little darling is copying them as they peer over the cot. While it may look like they are imitating the example of their elders, they are making gestures they would have made anyway.
Unmanned ship sailing itself around the ocean could be hacked, experts warn
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
Rich and powerful warn robots are coming for your jobs
"Most of the benefits we see from automation is about higher quality and fewer errors, but in many cases it does reduce labor," Michael Chui, a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, said on Tuesday during a panel on "Is Any Job Truly Safe?" The four-day annual conference, which began on Sunday, has 3,500 invite-only participants exploring "The Future of Human Kind." Technology has not only done away with low-wage, low-skill jobs, some of the more than 700 speakers said. They cited robots operating trucks in some Australian mines; corporate litigation software replacing employees with advanced degrees who used to sift through thousands of documents prior to trials; and on Wall Street, the automation of jobs previously done by bankers with MBAs or PhDs. "Anyone whose job is moving data from one spreadsheet to another ..., that's what is going to get automated," said Daniel Nadler, chief executive of Kensho, a financial services analytics company partly owned by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. "Goldman Sachs will be in here in 10 years, JPMorgan will be here. They're just going to be much more efficient in terms of operating leverage and headcount," he added.
Rich and powerful warn robots are coming for your jobs
Some of the most powerful people in the world have gathered this week to discuss the most pressing issues affecting humanity. And the overwhelming conclusion is that the robots are coming. At the Milken Institute's Global Conference in California, at least four panels focused ontechnology taking over markets to mining, and most importantly,jobs.

From airplane engines to street lights, transportation is becoming more intelligent - Transform
Airlines around the world are eager to take advantage of rapidly emerging technologies to improve their passengers' experience and become more efficient. But while executives recognize the opportunities, they know they can't do it alone. The two industry leaders in aircraft engines and technology are collaborating to offer carriers their expertise and ideas in a business where cutting 1 percent of fuel usage amounts to 250,000 in annual savings per plane. A recent PricewaterhouseCoopers report estimates digital tools in aircraft maintenance could save more than 100 million a year for a large carrier with a fleet of about 500 planes. "Our TotalCare maintenance program was revolutionary in the '90s, so we're pioneers ourselves, and by collaborating with a fellow pioneer like Microsoft, we can absolutely bring innovative digital solutions to airlines now," says Alex Dulewicz, head of marketing for services at Rolls-Royce's civil aerospace division.
Move over drones, driverless cars _ unmanned ship up next
It's not only drones and driverless cars that may become the norm someday -- ocean-faring ships might also run without captains or crews. The Pentagon on Monday showed off the world's largest unmanned surface vessel, a self-driving 132-foot ship able to travel up to 10,000 nautical miles on its own to hunt for stealthy submarines and underwater mines. The military's research arm, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, in conjunction with the Navy will be testing the ship off the San Diego coast over the next two years to observe how it interacts with other vessels and avoids collisions. Unlike smaller, remote-controlled craft launched from ships, the so-called "Sea Hunter" is built to operate on its own. "It's not a joy-stick ship," said DARPA spokesman Jared B. Adams, standing in front of the sleek, futuristic-looking steel-gray vessel docked at a maritime terminal in the heart of San Diego's shipbuilding district, where TV crews filmed the robotic craft.
