Computer learns to create computer games by watching videos of Super Mario Brothers Researchers have created a system that can automatically design new levels of a computer game by simply watching other people play on Youtube or Twitch.
The computer software was able to create its own levels for Nintendo's Super Mario Brothers after analysing Youtube footage of the game.

#Google#s Project Ara update: New partners inductive data transfer and cutting-edge battery tech Ever since Google Project Ara debuted,
consumers have been interested in the possibility of a customized smartphone with hot-swappable modules and varying functionality that can be changed on the fly depending on the user needs.
Today, Google gave a major update on where the program is and where it headed through 2015.
Right now, Google is focused on building what it calls the Spiral 2 device, a new version of the hardware that will include multiple modules, greater flexibility,
Google is reportedly working on induction signaling, with a 150-micron gap between components that will prevent the wear and tear that comes with repetitive switching back and forth.
Project Ara roadmap Google also laid out the Project Ara longer-term roadmap through 2015,
Google also talked up the concept of giving new and unusual battery designs a forum to experiment with Project Ara there are battery technologies that offer substantial improvements over conventional lithium polymer architectures
and Google wants to see the platform used for prototyping and market testing. Longer term, the goal is to create an initial pool of some 20-30 modules,
Google didn go into detail on what a ollution sensormight be, but it possible to include a carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,

#Google throws nearly a billion Android users under the bus refuses to patch OS vulnerability When it comes to providing security updates for previous products,
Others, like Google and Apple, have pursued tighter timelines for security updates. Google is now doubling down on that schedule,
refusing to patch bugs in Android 4. 3 or prior, even when those bugs could expose critical vulnerabilities on nearly a billion devices.
Up until quite recently, Google has patched aggressively problems in Android Webview rendering engine. Before Kitkat (Android 4. 4
With Kitkat and Lollipop, Google updated the operating system to use a Webview plugin derived from its Chromium project.
it contacted Google to inform the company that Android 4. 3 and below were vulnerable.
Google response and policy change are raising major eyebrows. Specifically, the company states that: If the affected version of Webview is before 4. 4,
Google will onsiderthe patch to see if it resolves the problem. If they don, Google now says the only thing it can do is inform various OEMS of the problem.
What Google is doing in essence, is telling its user community orry, you have to tell Samsung, LG,
and Motorola to provide you with an updated version of our operating system. This is hilariously impossible.
and two-year upgrade cycles means that plenty of people are going to be stuck on broken devices with known exploits that Google isn going to fix.
Granted, the fact that Google fixes an exploit doesn mean that carriers will deploy it,
Pushing OEMS off open-source Android One obvious reason for Google to stop fixing Android Browser problems is that the company is aggressively moving to get OEMS to stop using Android open-source features
and to replace them with features licensed directly from Google. Ars Technica has done an extensive write-up on this trend here,
No, Google isn killing Android it just ensuring that the only parts of the program that get feature updates, capability improvements,

#New computerised learning system can spot irony and sarcasm in text messages and emails A new computerised learning system spots emotional sentiments, such as sarcasm and irony,

Recently, pages intended to be humourous on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter were titled uperior and condescending people,
or rdinary and sensible people. uch pages are very popular in Israel, said Saig, and users are invited to submit suggestions for phrases that can be labelled as tereotypical sayings, for that particular page.
The method he developed enables the system to detect future patterns on any social network. Since the content in these sections was colloquial, everyday language,
or slang words and phrases in text. aig applied achine-Learningalgorithms to the content on these pages and used the results to automatically identify stereotypical behaviours found every day in social network communication.
The quantification was carried out by examining 5, 000 posts on social media pages and, through statistical analysis, gearing a learning system to recognise content structure that could be identified as condescending or slang.

#China tightens Web controls requires written pledge to avoid'unhealthy'activity online China announced Wednesday that users of blogs
and promise in writing to avoid challenging the communist political system, further tightening control over Internet use.
what technology companies say are official efforts in recent weeks to block virtual private networks that are used to circumvent China's extensive Internet filters.
China has the world's biggest population of Internet users with 649 million people online but increasing censorship has chilled the popularity of social media.
Beijing has required Internet companies since 2012 to obtain real names of some users. But compliance was uneven
and the rules failed to specify what services were covered. The latest announcement extends that"real name"registration requirement to blogs,
microblog services such as the popular Sina Weibo and website comment sections. Such settings offer many Chinese their only opportunity to express themselves in public in a society in which all media are controlled by the ruling Communist party.
The rules also require Internet services for the first time to have users sign a contract that includes a pledge to refrain from"illegal and unhealthy"activity.
Wednesday's announcement affirmed an earlier prohibition against posting material deemed a threat to state power
The ruling party encourages Internet use for business and education but tries to block material deemed subversive or obscene.
Beijing regularly launches new censorship initiatives to respond to changes such as the growing popularity of social media.
The government of President Xi Jinping has been calling on Internet companies since last year to"spread positive energy"online.
which operates one of China's most popular Internet platforms, said it was penalized for allowing"unhealthy and indecent content"online.
Sina was fined $815, 000 and stripped of two of its licenses for Internet publication and online transmission of audiovisual programs.
China operates the world's most extensive system of Internet monitoring and filters. It blocks access to websites abroad run by human rights and other activists groups,
as well as popular services such as the Google search engine and Facebook. Until recently, users of virtual private network,
or VPN, services were able to skirt those restrictions to reach business tools operated by Google and other blocked sites.
But in recent weeks, some companies that operate VPNS, which encrypt traffic to prevent censors from reading it,
