AP Using Robots For Journalism Starting In July:

The Associated Press announced Monday that it will begin using automated technology to write company earnings reports next month.
A vast amount of reporters' time and resources is spent on producing approximately 300 earnings reports each quarter, AP Managing Editor Lou Ferrera said in a company blog post. Automated technology, on the other hand, could produce 4,400 short earnings stories (150-300 words) in the same time period.
“We believe technological automation will be a part of many businesses, including those in media,” Ferrara said.

Look and feel human

The AP will be teaming up with Automated Insights, a North Carolina-based tech company that uses algorithms to turn raw data into stories that look like human writing. Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and AOL (NYSE: AOL) founder Steve Case have also invested in the company.
Automated Insights will use data from Zacks Investment Research to generate the content.
Automated Insights Vice President of Sales & Marketing Adam Smith told Benzinga that the algorithm takes data sets and mines it for patterns, trends and correlations. It also looks at the user and the user's history.
The algorithm then pulls those insights out and organizes them based on what's most important for the user.
“What makes Automated Insights different from other code-deciphering services is that it has the ability to tell a story like a human, using narrative prose,” Smith said.

Beyond baseball scores, know if you are reading a person or machine? RE:Associated Press Automates Earnings Stories http://t.co/EJMC6peT8Z
— Michael (@mstevensrev) June 30, 2014

This isn't the first time the AP will be using the automated technology from AI. Last football season, the media organization introduced an automated NFL player ranking that includes automated text descriptions of player performances.

Maintaining structure

This transition won't eliminate jobs, Ferrara said in the blog post, but rather free journalists from data processing and grant them more time to do in-depth reporting and analysis of the data.
“Instead, our journalists will focus on reporting and writing stories about what the numbers mean and what gets said in earnings calls on the day of the release, identifying trends and finding exclusive stories we can publish at the time of the earnings reports,” Ferrara said.
Smith said automated technology can augment traditional reporting of things like weather, travel, sports or finance by letting journalists focus on the investigative side of things.
“As humans, our expertise is to add color and context,” he said.

Vodafone Smart 4 review

Vodafone Smart 4 review:


PRICE £75
Vodafone's latest budget smartphone improves on its predecessor and adds a few extras to the recently released Smart 4 mini to create a decent workhorse of a smartphone for a sub-£100 price.
It's on sale now for £75 from the Vodafone online shop.
Chassis and screen
It's not quite as cheap as the £45 Smart 4 mini, but for your extra 30 quid you get a bigger screen and a better camera, plus the latest version of Android. The casing is all plastic of course, but it feels sturdy and robust. The rear doesn't flex easily but you can pop it off to reveal slots for micro-SIM and microSD cards along with the decent 1,880mAh battery.
The 4.5-inch screen is half an inch bigger than the one that can be found on the Smart 3, but the sub-HD resolution has barely improved, stretching from 800x400 to 854x480 pixels. It doesn't have the 'pop' (or anything like it) of an HD handset but it's reasonably bright and clear -- fine for comfortable web browsing and video viewing. Its size also makes it comfortable for typing, something that couldn't quite be said of its 4-inch predecessor.
Software and processor
It's a pleasant surprise to see that it's running the very latest 4.4.2 KitKat version of Android -- most budget handsets tend to come with an older version. Vodafone has given Google's interface a light, red-themed skin, but mostly it's left it alone, which is no bad thing.
The dual-core processor is clocked at 1.2GHz and backed by 512MB RAM. That's a small step up from the Smart 3's single-core innards, though it's similar to the Smart 4 mini. It performs its duties reasonably well, although you can expect a slight delay in opening apps. Displaying web pages also turned out to be an occasionally jerky experience. Our AnTuTu benchmark test gave it 10,434, which is pretty low and puts it behind the budget Moto E and ZTE Blade V -- not a great result.
Photography
The 5-megapixel camera comes with an LED flash, but not a lot else in the way of extras besides a few settings for night and action shots. It's fixed focus, so you'll need to be careful when you're setting up your shots, and you can expect a fair amount of blur and not a lot of detail. There's also a bog-standard VGA resolution camera on the front for video calls and selfies -- basic, but at least you get a front-facing camera. The same cannot be said for the Smart 4 mini.

Hack Your Brain With A Machine That Reads Minds

Hack Your Brain With A Machine That Reads Minds

Sarah Buhr
TechCrunch














Star Wars first planted the idea over 35 years ago that we could move objects with our minds. That idea is
now a reality that has come a long way in the last few years. Emotiv is on the cutting edge of that technology with headgear that allows you to do things, such as make a toy car whiz by or help a quadriplegic mix music like a DJ using just their brain power.

It works by scanning your brain for signals using the Emotiv EEG device on your head. That device then relays your signals through a brain-computer interface to detect emotions, interest and a slew of other things. It takes some work but, as the video above shows, it also helps you use your Jedi training skills to move objects with just the power of thought.

There are numerous applications for this tech. Those with disabilities could become the best DJ you’ve ever heard or play video games or command robotic arms using just their minds. It could help those with epilepsy, ADHD, sleep disorders or the occasional panic attack to quiet the mind and focus.

 A project commissioned by the Royal Automotive Club of Australia is even using Emotiv to ensure safer driving. During the research phase, a signal sent from the brain of a distracted driver caused their car to slow down or stop on the road.
But it also steps into the world of market research. Emotiv can tell whether you really like something or not just by detecting the reaction of your brain signals to a certain product you see in a store. This would allow researchers to know whether something will be popular without even having to ask you questions. They’ll just see it on your brain.

A greater threat with this tech could be brain spyware, particularly in video gaming. This ability to capture neuro-cognitive feedback not only helps with more responsive gaming but could also make available a user’s private information or thought processes without them being aware someone had hacked in and was getting that information from them. A captured EEG signal can reveal your bank card number, determine whether you have a mental illness or are prone to addiction, according to this 2013 research paper.

Emotiv offers both the EPOC and EEG versions of its system. The EPOC headset (listed for $299) allows developers to create their own applications using the licensed SDK software. The EEG headset (listed for $750) adds to what the EPOC offers but also enables users to conduct research from collected raw EEG data.
The technology has a long way to go still, but what we have so far with quadriplegic DJs moving about in virtual worlds, ability to detect mental disorders and to conduct market research from brain waves, is pretty impressive so far.


Boston Is Setting Up 'Smart Benches' In Parks Across The City

Boston Is Setting Up 'Smart Benches' In Parks Across The City




As the Internet of Things grows larger, we can now add benches to the list of things like watches, cars, phones, and everything else that comes in a "smart" variety.
Solar-powered benches, called Soofas, will pop up in Boston parks over the next week, the Boston Globe reports. In addition to offering you a place to sit, the benches will feature plugs to charge your smartphone, and will also wirelessly connect to the internet to provide location-based information, like air quality data.
“Your cell phone doesn’t just make phone calls," Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said in a statement Friday, the Globe reports. "Why should our benches just be seats?”
The Soofa was built and designed by three female engineers working with the MIT Media Lab spinoff startup Changing Environments, according to Yahoo Tech.
“We want to make cities updated for our generation,” Sandra Richter, one of the three inventors of the Soofa, told Yahoo Tech. “One trait we have is we run around with our phones all the time, and they die every five minutes. So for us it’s really important to be charged up all the time and be connected to each other.” 
Though you could have spotted a prototype or two around Boston this past winter, a dozen smart benches are set to pop up throughout the city, covered by Cisco Systems at no cost to the city, the Globe says. And while the first wave will only occur in the Soofa's hometown, Changing Environments has plans for future installments in San Jose, California, and New York too, Yahoo Tech says.

Google to shut down social networking service Orkut in September

Google to shut down social networking service Orkut in September!


SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc will shut down its early social-networking service, Orkut, which was launched ten years ago but has failed to put Google ahead in what has become one of the Web's most popular businesses.

Google said it will shut down Orkut, which is widely used in Brazil and India but hasn't caught on more broadly, on Sept. 30, to focus on its other social networking initiatives.
The company declined to say how many users Orkut has.

"Over the past decade, YouTube, Blogger and Google+ have taken off, with communities springing up in every corner of the world. Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut's growth, we've decided to bid Orkut farewell," Google said in a post on the Orkut blog on Monday.
Orkut was launched early in 2004, the same year that Facebook Inc, now the world's No.1 social network with 1.28 billion users, was founded.

The service's shutdown comes as Google's social networking plans remain in question. In April, Vic Gundotra, the head of Google's social networking services, left the company.

Gundotra oversaw the 2011 launch of Google+, a social networking service similar to Facebook. Gundotra said in October that 300 million users visit the Google+ web page every month.

Google has increasingly sought to position Google+ less as a social networking "stream" that competes with Facebook, and more as a means of establishing a unified "user identity" system to improve Google's various Web properties. Last year, for example, Google began requiring users of its YouTube site to sign in with their Google+ identity before posting comments about videos.

The company said it would preserve an archive of all Orkut "communities" that will be available from Sept. 30.
"If you don't want your posts or name to be included in the community archive, you can remove Orkut permanently from your Google account," Google said.

Most Advanced Football “The Brazuca” Made in Pakistan

Most Advanced Football “The Brazuca” Made in Pakistan


Even though Pakistan has never played in a football world cup, no other team would have had the chance to play it, if Pakistan did not produce the ball! So when Brazil and Croatia played the tournament in Sao Paolo on June 12th, they used a ball made in Pakistan, called the "Brazuca". 

About 70 percent of the world’s hand-sewn footballs are made in Pakistan. In the 1980s, Sialkot gained international celebrity status when it produced the Tango ball used in the 1982 FIFA World Cup. Today Sialkot’s hand-stitched balls face competition from the machine-made balls produced in China. But despite tough competition, the manufacturers have managed to bring back the world cup football production to Pakistan.

While one factory has received the order of producing the ball to be played in the world cup, others have received much bigger orders to manufacture world cup promotional balls. Talon sports, a Sialkot sports goods factory have received an order to produce six million balls.

But with big orders comes bigger responsibility. Workers at talon sports are putting their hearts and minds - day in and day out - to meet the target.

Chaudhry saleem, chairman of talon sports gives all credit to the brazilian football legend, Pele, winner of three World Cups, in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

The workers seem quite satisfied with the big order, for now, they don’t have to worry about making their ends meet.

Despite witnessing financial crisis in the past, the football industry in Sialkot is going strong. Over Forty million foot balls, worth about $210 million are produced in Sialkot every year.

Sialkot is known as one of the leading sports goods industries in the world. This factory can produce over 30,000 footballs in a single day. The manufacturers say that with the help of international sporting brands they can be able to achieve bigger targets.

Gizmodo


Paranoid? Or just privacy conscious? Well, the Blackphone is an Android handset that promises to keep your secrets safe, and now you can buy one for $630.
The super-secure phone has been in the works for some time. While its specs were revealed at the start of the year—a 4.7-inch HD IPS display, 2GHz quad-core processor, 16GB of storage, an 8-megapixel camera, LTE—it's now available to buy.
The Android smartphone comes pre-subscribed to, and pre-installed with, a bunch of privacy and anti-surveillance services. That centers mainly on Silent Phone for encrypted VoIP; Silent Text, for encrypted messaging; and Silent Contacts, for an encrypted contact list other apps can't peek at. All of these are available on iOS and vanilla Android for a price, but a Blackphone comes with two years of service included.
The phone costs $630 off-contract. The earliest pre-orders are now shipping, and general sales start on July 14th. So, if you're worried about who sees your data, you know what to do. [Blackphone]

Facebook scores record 1 billion

Facebook scores record 1 billion interactions for World Cup

Esteban Israel
Reuters
 
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - With 1 billion posts, likes and comments in just the first half of the World Cup,
the soccer tournament is already the most talked-about event in Facebook Inc's decade-long history, data obtained by Reuters showed.
The soccer conversation measured between June 12 and June 29 involved 220 million people and 1 billion interactions, the Facebook data showed. And since the ball will be rolling for another two weeks, the tournament is set to break new records as the biggest social media event to date.
"People are having conversations on Facebook about what they watch in a really unprecedented scale," Nick Grudin, the company’s director of partnerships, told Reuters.
"In addition to sharing and connecting with friends, people are engaging in real time with the media and the public voices they care about most."
Facebook is the latest social media company to capitalize on TV-related traffic around big events like the World Cup, a trend started years ago by the microblog website Twitter Inc.
People use Facebook to comment about things they watch live, an interaction that could turn into a source of ad revenue for the company.
Facebook’s record numbers were possible because of widespread mobile penetration. Seven out of 10 users globally connect to the network from mobile devices, which represent roughly 60 percent of the company’s ad revenue.
There is also soccer’s global appeal. The first week of the World Cup alone saw 459 million interactions on Facebook, more than this year’s Super Bowl, the Sochi Winter Olympic Games and the Academy Awards combined.
The 1 billion mark was reached after traffic accelerated as the World Cup moved into the knockout round. On Saturday, more than 31 million people put up 75 million posts, likes and comments about Brazil’s nail-biting victory over Chile, which propelled the home team to the quarter-finals.
"This Cup has been a catalyzing cultural moment for people around the world," Grudin said, "and we see it reflected on Facebook."

LA school officials shift from free iPads to laptops and hybrids

LA school officials shift from free iPads to laptops and hybrids


An iPad for every student was the plan. Then, some students were too smart for their own good, quickly enabling their for-learnin' iPads to access to anything on the web, including Twitter, Facebook and all that other fun stuff. LA's school district now plans to differentiate what it offers its students, authorizing purchases for one of six different devices, including laptops and hybrids such as Chromebooks, Microsoft's Surface Pro 2 and Lenovo's Yoga Touch. This fall, teachers and students will test these laptops to see if they fit. "The benefit of the new approach is clear," said Los Angeles school board member Monica Ratliff, talking to the LA Times. "Why would we treat all our students - whether they are a first-grader or a high school freshman - as if they all had the same technology needs? They don't."

Last year's iPad scheme rolled out to 47 schools, but alongside those aforementioned security filter woes, distribution of the tablets soon fell behind schedule. Worse still, educational materials were apparently often incomplete. (In the new scheme, materials from three different publishers are also being trialled) Given the touchscreen keyboards, iPads were apparently difficult to use while sometimes exam problems were often obscured due to the screen size. iPad distribution across LA's school district remains on hold, although some school are still scheduled to receive them later this year.

Look ma, no hands - Swedish start-up launches touchless selfie app

Look ma, no hands - Swedish start-up launches touchless selfie app



STOCKHOLM - Selfie fans, your life just got a little easier. A Swedish tech start-up has launched an app for Apple devices that lets people take photos of themselves without having to touch their screens.
Using touchless technology which it says is ideal for taking "selfies" or "groupies", Crunchfish's GoCam app lets users trigger photos or videos from a distance with just hand gestures.
Photos can be triggered from a distance of up to 3 m (yards), it says.
The company, based in the southern Swedish city of Malmo, says the free GoCam app will be initially available in Sweden and Australia.
While gesture recognition has become more popular thanks to products such as Microsoft's Kinect for video games, the power-hungry technology has yet to become mainstream in computers or mobile devices.

Serious Security Threat Lurks on 86 Percent of Android Phones

Serious Security Threat Lurks on 86 Percent of Android Phones

Kate Knibbs
Gizmodo 
A bug in the Android KeyStore left an estimated 86 percent of Android phones vulnerable to major security breaches, according to an advisory IBM researchers published last week.
KeyStore is like the janitor's closet for Android; it's where all cryptographic keys and other sensitive information lives. So it's a bad place for a vulnerability. The security flaw is what the researchers call a "classic stack-based buffer overflow," and it could allow attackers to execute code to steal phone lock credentials, and then all sorts of sensitive data on the phone, including banking information.
The researchers discovered the problem nine months ago, but waited until the Android Security Team came up with a patch for Android KitKat, which is now available. That still leaves Android users without KitKat (estimated to be 86.4 percent of Android's userbase) open to this kind of attack.
Nobody (as far as we know) actually exploited the vulnerability, so Android is testing its luck. To actually carry out an attack, would-be malicious hackers would have to overcome Android's software protections, including coding and data executing prevention. But just because it hasn't been done yet doesn't mean it can't be done.
The fact that this kind of major vulnerability can go undetected until IBM researchers point it out is pretty scary. It's also unlikely to be the last of its kind, another reminder that even sophisticated operating systems can have big scary holes in their security.
You can read the full report from the researchers below.

Scientists discover one of the most Earth-like planets yet

Ellis Hamburger
The Verge 

 Sci-News.com is Gliese 832c's mass means it likely has a far denser atmosphere than Earth does, which could make the planet's weather hot and volatile. If this is the case, the planet might be more like a super-Venus than a super-Earth. "If the planet has a similar atmosphere to Earth it may be possible for life to survive, although seasonal shifts would be extreme," the University of South Wales' Professor Chris Tinney said. Even so, Gliese 832c is one of the most Earth-like planets we've ever encountered.
"[Gliese 832c is] one of the top three most Earth-like planets according to the [Earth Similarity Index] (i.e., with respect to Earth's stellar flux and mass) and the closest one to Earth of all three — a prime object for follow-up observations," writes Abel Mendez Torres on the Planetary Habitability  Lab's blog. "It's just a stone's throw from Earth in the cosmic scheme of things," adds Space.com's Mike Wall.

PTA Now Capable of Measuring Quality of Service for 3G and 4G Networks



Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) organized a two days training for its staff in collaboration with NEMO Anite (Finland based Company) at PTA HQs from 26th to 27th June 2014.
The aim of this training was to impart knowledge and skills to PTA officials so that they can effectively monitor the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters in 3G/4G environment.
Earlier in 2006, PTA procured NEMO outdoor equipment to measure the QoS of GSM mobile networks. Now, Anite has provided an upgrade of its NEMO QoS Monitoring Platform to PTA for 3G/4G.
The NEMO Invex (Tool Model) enables outdoor drive test measurements and benchmarking to ensure QoS of the Cellular networks. Anite has an established position in mobile benchmarking, drive test measurement, and optimization solutions for perfecting the air interface of wireless networks.
Saybi, the local partner of Anite, has also supported the training, with the aim to impart the 3G/4G QoS knowledge and hands on experience on NEMO Invex 7.0.
On this occasion, Chairman PTA, Dr. Ismail Shah, thanked Saybi Anite for provisioning of an upgrade model to PTA. He further stated that this solution will enable PTA to monitor licensed QoS Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of 3G / 4G networks in the country to ensure that quality standards are met and users get the services at anticipated quality standards.
With this upgrade and training, PTA officials have been up skilled on 3G/4G and LTE technologies.
