    Computer Teaches Itself How To Beat Super Mario

    52 generations in and MarI/O still hasn't figured out that a block or enemy directly in front of you means "jump". Anyone looking for validation of the Theory of Evolution here (besides this being an entirely different model) had best look elsewhere.

    PS4 Could Become the Best-Selling Console in History

    Nintendo DS and PS2 are the clear best sellers of all time with about 155 million sales each. (DS may have actually surpassed the PS2, I don't know when the article I read stopped counting and they STILL sell DS games.) The PS4 has sold 22 million thus far (as of the end of March), which given...

    The US Army Wants Invisibility Cloaks Within 18 Months

    I honestly don't think we could do this in 18 years. You'd need a 360 degree camera that could take high res pictures and transmit everything to a processor to find out where to put it on a flexible display. Said display would have to be aware of the orientation of every fold, bend and...

    Streaming TV Services Seek To Sidestep Web Congestion

    If only there were some distributed, multipeer method of sharing content amongst many people viewing the same content capable of self optimizing by transfer speeds between nodes. Sarcasm aside, all you'd need to do is copy the basic idea of Popcorn Time and add a clause in the user agreement...

    Spend a Week Inside the Dark Web

    Funny how the article doesn't mention anything other than TOR, there's several public darknets out there that are worse and more secure.

    Valkryria Chronicles: Gamer Gate - 7$

    Excellent game for tactical buffs, and if you buy games on steam there's a 90% chance you've got a spare 360 controller lying around.

    Mega Pondering Lawsuit Over Paypal Ban?

    In Britain there may be a case, their libel law is rather different. Basically change "knowingly false" to "intentionally damaging" - if anyone remembers the McLibel case that'd be an example of the difference, where in the US all the defendants would have had to do was prove that they were...

    US Lawmaker Asks Sony For Details On Data Breach

    I'm still skeptical that this had anything at all to do with North Korea's government, but that aside asking Sony to advise on security policy is like asking Kato Kaelin what to do about household alarms. Sony's network failed to be secure, folks got in and trashed their servers. Sony is going...

    Courts Say Businesses Can’t Censor Yelp Reviews

    The truth is an absolute defense against slander or libel. I've dealt with customers like this woman, and it really seems like she was trying to finagle free labor out of this guy by using the payment of the contract as a carrot on a stick. You see it a lot in any service industry where payment...

    Twitter's Value Higher Than $11B?

    Company valuations are wholly based on hype and magical fairy dust, full stop. Ideally you're trying to come up with a basis for these numbers in real world conditions, which, let's face it, don't exist in Internet businesses. Very few reliable numbers crop up when figuring the actual value of...

    Sony Patent Could Stop You From Playing Used Games

    Sony's never been the best study of market forces. Betamax, DRM'd CD's, removing Other OS from PS3, banning tons of normal users from their network, and the beat just keeps going on. Sometimes I swear their whole market strategy is centered around the slowest possible suicide.

    Microsoft Announces More Retail Locations

    The USPO needs a way to file objections to patents online. Crowdsource the vetting process and keep this kind of weirdness from happening.

    The Internet Will Kill Us All

    Being that armed remote drones and quadrotors exist, this isn't even a difficult proposition right now. All you'd need to do is snag an IP controlled quadrotor capable of lifting a firearm and cell phone, configure the rotor to receive commands and transmit video via the cell network, wire the...
