New MIT Project to Probe Mysteries of Human Intelligence

Mit last week launched  the MIT Intelligence Quest , an initiative to find out how human intelligence works, in engineering terms, and how a deeper grasp of human intelligence can be applied to building wiser and more useful machines. Life scientists, computer scientists, social scientists and engineers will collaborate in the effort. "Human intelligence is turning out to be very complex, involving emergent properties that arise from complex computational networks," noted Michael Jude, research manager at  Stratecast/Frost & Sullivan . "It is not simply an engineering design problem," he told TechNewsWorld. Bringing in some of the soft sciences, such as psychology and sociology, as well as areas like medicine "would seem to be a good thing," Jude observed.

Google Offers New Mobile Story Tech to Publishers

Google on Tuesday rolled out a developer preview of its new AMP story format, which is designed to give content publishers an easy way to deliver news and information on mobile devices with visually rich, tap-through stories. "On mobile devices, users browse lots of articles, but engage with few in-depth," noted Rudy Galfi, product manager for AMP at Google. "Images, videos and graphics help publishers to get their readers' attention as quickly as possible and keep them engaged through immersive and easily consumable visual information," he pointed out. Built on the AMP infrastructure, stories are displayed on the mobile Web at speeds that rival resident apps. In addition, AMP story pages can be hosted at a publisher's website and linked to other locations on the site to enhance discovery. As part of the AMP ecosystem, discovery platforms can take advantage of pre-renderable pages, optimized video loading and caching to optimize delivery to use...

Are Smart TV Designs Taking Home Security for Granted

Millions of smart TVs from Samsung and some streaming devices from Roku recently were found to be vulnerable to cyberattacks, allowing intruders to take control and remotely change channels and volume settings, among other things, according to  Consumer Reports  research. Vulnerabilities were discovered not only in Samsung televisions, but also in TVs from TCL and other brands that sell sets compatible with the Roku TV smart-TV platform and streaming video devices such as Roku Ultra, according to the report. Further, the affected televisions and devices collect a wide range of personal data, Consumer Reports noted, and users who choose to limit that data collection would risk limiting the functionality of the TV. The report is based on a wide ranging security and privacy review of major brands, including Vizio, LG and Sony. This review was the first conducted as part of Consumer Reports' new Digital Standard, which is an effort among several nonprofits, including t...

Fileless Malware: Why You Should Care

It's a  truism that just like organizations adapt, so too do criminals. For example, anyone who has ever seen a Wells Fargo commercial knows that there was a time when stagecoaches were a normative method for transporting cash and valuables. But what modern criminals in their right mind would attempt robbing a Brink's truck on horseback? While that strategy might have worked well in the days of the Pony Express, attempting it in now would be out of touch and inefficient. This is an intentionally extreme example to make a point: Criminals adapt to keep pace in the same way that organizations adapt. With a veritable renaissance in technology use under way, criminals have been advancing their methods of attack just like organizations have been advancing their methods for conducting business. One of the more recent developments in attacker tradecraft is so-called "fileless malware." This trend -- which emerged a few years ago but gained significant prominence in l...

Fitbit Highlights Versatility in New $200 Smartwatch

Fitbit added a new smartwatch to its wearables line with a pricetag of US$199.95. The Fitbit Versa, which will reach global retail outlets in next month, will be the lightest metal smartwatch in the U.S. market. It includes a new dashboard that simplifies the way health and fitness data is accessed on the device. Versa mixes health and fitness programs, such as 24/7 heart rate tracking, onscreen workouts and automatic sleep-stage tracking, with smart features like quick replies on Android and on-device music. Although the Versa's operating system is Fitbit's proprietary OS 2.0, the smartwatch can connect to an Android phone via an app. That sets it apart from the Apple Watch, noted Ross Rubin, principal analyst at  Reticle Research . "That's a good move when the Android Wear platform for smartwatches has some uncertainty surrounding it moving forward," he told TechNewsWorld. It's been reported that Google intends to re-brand Android Wear ...
