Meet Tim, the rolling robot that keeps CERN running:... Australia's Great Barrier Reef in crisis as scientists... From ripping flesh from the dead to EATING their remains:... Dirkie Heydenrych is next with his'Ship Wreck at L'Agulhas' (pictured), which he used a DJI Phantom 3 Advance drone to capture. It shows a deteriorating vessel in the sea off the coast of South Africa. 'Dronie' by Manish Mamtani is next, which he used a DJI Phantom 3 while shooting in New Hampshire.

Apple's spaceship is almost ready for takeoff: Latest drone video reveals'almost complete' building Latest aerial footage flying over the construction site in Cupertino was captured by a drone flying overhead Compared to the last footage, most of the walls and solar panels have been put in their place The auditorium is fitted with the world's largest carbon fiber roof and the parking garage is finished Apple Campus 2 is set to open in the 2nd quarter of 2017, which is when 13,000 employees will move in The auditorium is fitted with the world's largest carbon fiber roof and the parking garage is finished A new flyover of Apple's mothership reveals the massive $5 billion Campus 2 is nearly complete.

The circular, four-storey building will be around a mile in circumference and a third of a mile wide and was recently described by the San Fransisco Weekly as a'massive glass doughnut'. Built on a massive 175 acres, the finished campus will span 2.8 million square feet house 13,000 Apple techies and be self-sufficient with 7,000 trees planted in the dirt removed from the park to build the compound Built on a massive 175 acres, the finished campus will span 2.8 million square feet house 13,000 Apple techies and be self-sufficient with 7,000 trees planted in the dirt removed from the park to build the compound. Apple CEO Tim Cook said the firm will move in the first employees in 2017, which will play a key role in the tech giant's ability to host larger events versus relying on other facilities for help.

Fidel Castro died as he lived: to the sound of useful idiots making allowances for his crimes. The gold medal in the Useful Idiot Olympics should probably go to Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada. In a statement, he expressed his "deep sorrow" upon learning that "Cuba's longest serving president" had died. One can only imagine what George Orwell could do with that one word, "serving." Castro did not serve, he ruled a nation of servants, often cruelly, while making obscene profits for himself and his family.

There are all kinds of creative ways of dealing with rogue drones: Radio jamming. None of these are really designed to handle military drones, however, and large, fast-moving UAVs are still a potential threat, especially if more than one is coming at you at once. It's no surprise that the U.S. Army has been developing solutions for this potential threat-- we're not sure what they're working on now, but as of late 2013, Raytheon was successfully testing a long range, high power directed microwave weapon capable of taking out swarms of drones in milliseconds. The Phaser is essentially a high powered microwave (HPM) cannon that runs on a diesel engine. Exactly how powerful this thing is (and what its range is) is still classified, but we do know that it can be tuned to either "disrupt" or "damage," where for most drones, "damage" seems to be synonymous with "destroy."

Ben Dickson is a software engineer and the founder of TechTalks. As artificial intelligence and machine learning mature and manifest their potential to take on complicated tasks, we've become somewhat expectant that robots can succeed where humans have failed -- namely, in putting aside personal biases when making decisions. But as recent cases have shown, like all disruptive technologies, machine learning introduces its own set of unexpected challenges and sometimes yields results that are wrong, unsavory, offensive and not aligned with the moral and ethical standards of human society. While some of these stories might sound amusing, they do lead us to ponder the implications of a future where robots and artificial intelligence take on more critical responsibilities and will have to be held responsible for the possibly wrong decisions they make. At its core, machine learning uses algorithms to parse data, extract patterns, learn and make predictions and decisions based on the gleaned insights.

It seems like almost every day a new headline warns us that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon take over the world, or at the very least steal jobs. Even when AI is not in the news, Hollywood offers up a steady stream of entertainment that depicts a very near future in which life as we know it is threatened by super-intelligent machines. These scenarios have something in common: they oversimplify and misrepresent an important and broader set of transformative technologies that hold great promise for business and society. They indulge in fantasy rather than take into account a rational and better-informed dialogue currently underway in the scientific, policy and business communities about what we consider the third age of computing -- the cognitive era. Cognitive computing -- of which AI is but one part -- refers to an entirely new class of technologies whose purpose is to deepen human engagement, scale and elevate expertise, enable new products and services, and enhance exploration and discovery.

Fedscoop: Autonomy and artificial intelligence may be integral to the Defense Department's Third Offset Strategy, but making those technologies useful will require IT investments to integrate them into defense systems, a new report says. "Both the DOD and the Intelligence Community, they are investing in these technologies. So artificial intelligence is a big priority area, machine learning, all these technologies," Matthew Hummer, director of analytics at big-data and analytics firm Govini, told FedScoop. "But they haven't really done a good job of integrating it into the current Distributed Common Ground Systems. And that's because those systems really need pretty much a big overhaul to be able to do that."
