Woooow..Apple Unveils 'Supersize' iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus And Watch

Image
Apple has lifted the lid on bigger iPhone 6 models, with screen sizes of up to 5.5 inches, and also unveiled its first watch. Powered by the A8 processor, the new phones are a 'supersized' upgrade from the outgoing flagship, the iPhone 5S, which has a 4-inch screen. The watch - called simply Apple Watch - is customisable in "millions" of ways and comes in different colours. The company says it is a comprehensive health and fitness device which lets users connect and communicate.

iOS 8 Has New Features That Makes It Harder For Companies To Track Your iPhone Where Ever You Are.

Image
The  new feature which was first spotted by Swiss programmer Frederic Jacobs and has since been written about  on Quartz , prevents marketers, retailers, and other companies from seeing your phone's identity. Whenever a mobile device scans for public WiFi networks, that phone emits what is called a Media Access Control address, or MAC for short. A MAC address is a unique identification number tied to your device. Marketing and analytics companies track these broadcasted MAC addresses to keep track of foot traffic in retail stores. Store owners, in turn, can use this information to target shoppers with specific deals and offers based on their behavior. Apple's new feature, however, prompts your iPhone to generate a random MAC address when it scans for public WiFi networks. This means that although these agencies will be able to detect your device, they won't know whether or not the same device is returning to that particular location. By generating random...

EXCLUSIVE:See Supercomputer becomes the first to pass the Turing Test, but academics warn of dangerous future

Image
A programme that convinced humans that it was a thirteen year old boy has become the first computer ever to pass the Turing Test . The test — which requires that computers are indistinguishable from humans — is considered a landmark in the development of artificial intelligence, but academics have warned that the technology could be used for cybercrime. Computing pioneer Alan Turing said that a computer could be understood to be thinking if it passed the test, which requires that a computer dupes 30% of human interrogators in five-minute text conversations. Eugene Goostman, a computer programme made by a team based in Russia, succeeded in a test conducted at the Royal Society in London. It convinced 33% of the judges that it was human, said academics at the University of Reading, which organised the test. It is thought to be the first computer to pass the iconic test. Though there have claims other programmes have successes, those included set topics or question in advance...
