<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>SP's:</b> In Japan, a company called Robot Taxi is hoping to begin road tests for its revolutionary driverless taxis by next year in Kanagawa prefecture, south of Tokyo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Haven’t we all faced problems while travelling in a Taxi? Be it the unavailability of Taxis during early hours of the day or fare issues, all of us have faced them and hope for a better transportation system.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, this era might as well encounter a revolution in Taxis. As, in Japan, a company called Robot Taxi is highly optimistic about its driver-free taxis. The road tests shall begin next year in Kanagawa prefecture, south of Tokyo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the Wall Street Journal reports, fifty people will travel in trips of two miles from their homes to grocery stores, with a Robot Taxi employee on board (as a safety precaution for now).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here, you can check you the exciting and touching video of Robot Taxi:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Japan, if you didn’t know, is the world’s most rapidly again nation, where the number of citizens aged 100 and up hit over 60,000 this year. The idea, at least initially, will be to help such elderly citizens and run routes in places where public transport isn’t built out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wonderful, isn’t it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, of course, questions have arisen regarding the extent of acceptability by the elderly citizens and challenge of tech- awareness of a driverless taxi! But then, in a country like Japan, where cute and communicative robots like Pepper and Aibo already exist, things might as well be easy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>          Intel’s Sixth generation super performers <b>Skylake CPUs </b>have already been declared as the best processors in business – thanks to its blistering clock speed, better security and providing prolonged battery life.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>           Now, Intel has revealed its plans to further improvise upon its next batch of <b>Skylake CPUs</b> with enhanced Intel Software Guard Extensions technology. The new <b>SGX</b> technology is a new instruction of <b>x86 </b>extensions set that allow developers to protect the data from unauthorized access using “inverse sandbox” mechanism. The <b>SGX</b> tech will also help in maintaining control of the platform and ousting the malicious codes.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>          The new <b>Skylake CPUs </b>will be enabled by <b>SGX </b>and for the previous batch of <b>Core i7, Core i5 and Xeon</b>, Intel has given them new MM numbers having minor manufacturing configuration change in order to allow customers enable the new <b>SGX</b> in these chips.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">        The enhanced CPUs will have the ability to enable the applications to define secure data locations that don’t break down even when the attacker has physical access to the platform and has the potential to conduct direct attacks on memory.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>SP's: </b>In another step to boost its Internet.org initiative, Facebook has joined hands with Eutelsat to deliver the free internet from space using satellites. This free satellite internet service will be rolling out from late 2016 in Africa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">         Facebook has been trying hard to provide free and “controversial” internet to the people using its Internet.org initiative. In the past, the company has explored the option to beam free internet from space with the help of its giant drones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The company even plans to provide the internet using its own satellites in the future, but Mark Zuckerberg is ready to team up with others to fasten this process. According to a new agreement, Facebook has teamed up with Eutelsat to provide free internet in Africa using the existing satellites.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">           The company is planning to bring this ambitious plan to life in late 2016. Eutelsat, Facebook’s new-found partner will be delivering the free internet from space with a satellite to offline parts of sub-Saharan Africa from next year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">              From late 2016, Eutelsat and Facebook will use the satellite AMOS-6 to beam direct internet to the smartphones in West, East and Southern Africa. This satellite is being made by Israeli company Spacecom and is expected to be launched by the end of this year.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>          Just yesterday I wrote a piece describing the ways to know if your identity was hacked/stolen in some recent data breach. Many of you are unaware of the risks these data thefts pose and what cyber criminals aim to do with your data.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>In this article, I’m going to highlight the facts that stolen data is of great important in the underground of the internet. But, how much does it costs to get someone’s stolen data in the Dark Web. Well, not more than $1.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>         The data breach at the Hacking Team would be still reminiscent in your memories that revealed many dark secrets about this complex network. The recent hack at Ashley Madison gives us more hints how desperate cybercriminals are to compromise millions of user accounts and personal information.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>         In the latest report of Trend Micro, named Understanding Data Breaches, the firm outlines some important details about the data breaches. The report explains how data breach takes place and what happens to this stolen intellectual property.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>              The firm’s research shows that only 25 percent of data leaks are caused due to some malware or hacking attack- instead, the insiders are a common reason behind these data losses. Other reasons include the use of physical skimming devices and loss/theft of storage devices.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>             The report contains other information regarding the most affected sectors and the damages done to an organization.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>          The PII sales are made in the Dark Web on a per-line basis of approximately $1. When I’m mentioning per-line basis, this means that each line of data contains a name, a date of birth, an address, a social security number and other personal information. So, if someone knowledgeable buys this data, he/she can cause serious damage. The report says that with the recent increase in the data breaches, the supply has increased and thus the prices have decreased.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>        The price of other information like credit card details ($25), bank account details ($200-$500) and PayPal($300) accounts goes much higher.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>SP's: </b>Elon Musk’s plan to nuke Mars to make it habitable could have substance. After his crazy idea made headlines look what he has in for its explanation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">           Elon Musk is an intelligent man, but his idea of nuking Mars to make it habitable made him look more like a crazy scientist than a technology pioneer who founded organizations like Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and PayPal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Musk gave his plan to speed up the warming process of the red planet to make it liveable on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert which could not be digested by most of the viewers including Colbert himself who compared him to the supervillain Lex Luthor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">            Now, Musk tries to clear the air as he explains what he meant by nuking Mars. He said that he didn’t want to blow up the Martian surface but create tiny pulse suns over the planet’s North and South pole. As we all know our Sun itself is a product of nuclear fusion which helps Earth to stay warm, while the greenhouse gases add to the process.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">        As per Musk’s plan, “Launch a series of fusion bombs above the planet, not on the planet and create two tiny suns over its poles after every several seconds. Let the process continue for some time which will gasify frozen carbon dioxide, thicken the atmosphere and warm up the water and all of that would have a greenhouse effect.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">         The crux of Musk’s intent is to fasten up the warming of our neighbour and make it liveable as soon as possible. After all, he realizes our Earth is pushing its limits to sustain life while others are making merry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Disney has developed a colouring book app that would turn the coloured 2D character into a 3D augmented reality object on screen.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>                Who says technology can’t be fun! And when the favourite cartoon character of your child or little sibling comes out from his sketch book, you seem to realise how much the technology has actually advanced. Augmented Reality has a kickass future and Disney has now given a glimpse of the coming days.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Disney’s tech team has created an interactive Android and iOS colouring book app that would turn the coloured character into a live 3D animated character much like the child’s imagination, but of course, into an augmented reality object on screen. It is a new Disney Research project that aims to bring back the lost excitement in children towards the colouring books.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>              Now, converting a 2D picture into a 3D reality is tricky as most of the drawings have only a portion of the character (front or side view). Disney’s colouring book app overcomes the challenge by copying the pixels from the drawing and making a guess for the remaining part keeping its texture same as the original. The texture of the 3D model is automatically synthesised in real-time based on the drawing.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>            Disney conducted a web-based user based study with 314 participants for their colouring book app validation and was really happy with the responses. In the final assessment, a majority of the participants told that this creativity motivates them to draw, improve their sense of connection with the character and would definitely use the app at home.</i></span></div>
