The classification system for British track and field Para-athletes "could be abused" and is "open to exploitation", according to a UK Athletics review. The review found a "wide consensus" among those with experience of the system that rules could be exploited, also identifying methods of doing so. It follows claims before the Rio 2016 Paralympics that classifications could be manipulated to boost medal chances. Yet, there is "no substantive evidence" to suggest widespread cheating. A four-person panel, chaired by Paralympic wheelchair racer Anne Wafula Strike, conducted the review between November and February, with its findings revealed on Tuesday.

ARM has unveiled its next generation of processor designs, a new microarchitecture named Dynamiq. Chips built using Dynamiq will be easier to configure, says ARM, allowing manufacturers to connect together a wider variety of CPUs. This should allow for more powerful systems-on-chip, but also processors that better serve computing tasks of the future from artificial intelligence to self-driving cars. "It's a step change in how we build CPUs and the way we stitch CPUs together," ARM product marketing head John Ronco told The Verge. "It'll be in smartphones and tablets, for sure, but also automotive networking and a whole range of other embedded devices. Anywhere a Cortex processor is used today, Dynamiq is going to be the next step forward."

By all accounts, 2017 is set to be the year of A.I and cognitive computing. Forrester predicts that A.I will'drive the insights revolution in 2017' and Gartner claims that A.I and machine learning have reached'a critical tipping point'. Indeed, Gartner goes so far as to predict that by 2020, 30% of web browsing will happen without a screen. While there have been a limited amount of practical applications of this technology to date, there is no doubt that the concept is set to dominate the landscape for some time. However, although these technologies are undeniably exciting and revolutionary, they present as many challenges as they do opportunities.

Over 800 leading scientists, companies, and policymakers working in robotics will convene at the European Robotics Forum (#ERF2017) in Edinburgh, 22-24 March. This year's theme is "Living and Working With Robots" with a focus on applications in manufacturing, disaster relief, agriculture, healthcare, assistive living, education, and mining. The 3-day programme features keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, and plenty of robots roaming the exhibit floor. Visitors may encounter a humanoid from Pal Robotics, a bartender robot from KUKA, Shadow's human-like hands, or the latest state-of-the-art robots from European research. Success stories from Horizon 2020, the European Union's framework programme for research and innovation, and FP7 European projects will be on display.

The Apple Store has gone down, probably signalling new iPhones are on the way. It's not possible to buy anything from Apple online at the moment. And while that might just be because the store is being updated, it's far more likely that it signals new products are about to drop. That could include an updated iPhone 7, potentially in a new red colour, as well as an iPhone SE. The latter phone currently packs the iPhone 6s's insides into a smaller body – and so it's likely that the new phone could bring the updates that came with the iPhone 7 into a 5s package.

A once green planet is burning in the black of space, its atmosphere corroding further with every cycle of the sun. The occupants are troubled, worried for their futures as nations divide. Some are ruled over by a furious orange-skinned despot, others by an imperious ice queen. An imbalance has developed that could tear apart alliances that are already unstable. Oh, and on this planet, there's a new Mass Effect game being launched.

The /pol/ - Politically Incorrect message board, which pro-Donald Trump, revealed the apparent move in a Twitter update, alongside screenshots supposedly showing off webcam footage. "How did I just find out that we can watch the border and report illegals trying to cross from the comfort of our homes and/or basements," a 4chan user wrote in a post over the weekend.

DIY home security systems aren't a new thing, but developers are slowly working the kinks out of what can often be a complicated system with lots of moving parts that, should a single component fail, could result in catastrophic consequences. That's good news for homeowners concerned about their safety, but who might be shy about paying thousands of dollars for a traditional system. Abode hit the scene three years ago, and it now offers a wide array of home security products that's deep enough to outfit just about any home or business. At the core lies Abode's Secure Bundle starter kit ($429 after the currently offered 40-percent discount), which includes the gateway, two door/window sensors, an indoor motion sensor with still camera, and a remote control key fob. The feature list is impressive, and Abode seems to have covered all the basics when it comes to contingency planning.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide. Another 360 million people globally have moderate to profound hearing loss. Globally, more than 1 billion people need one or more assistive products. The global elderly and disabled assistive devices market was valued at $14 billion in 2015 and is expected to surpass $26 billion by 2024, according to Coherent Market Insights. It is a sizable market with an incredibly diverse set of needs.
