Calculated risks: Will algorithms make business boring?

Ever found yourself wondering whether your boss is human?
Haven't we all.
Now, with the march of artificial intelligence and robotics, it's becoming an increasingly valid question.
Algorithms - problem solving computer programmes - are, to put it bluntly, getting much better at doing our jobs than we are.
And it's not just in the tech sector where computers are becoming king.
Last year the LA Times published an article about an earthquake which was written by a computer programme.

Sun rays fastens ageing

Many studies came to conclusion that aging fastens in people getting over exposed to sun rays. Studies concluded that ultraviolet rays are accelerating ageing process. Recently The New Zealand Journal of Medicine came with unique case where a truck driver found that one side of his skin had wrinkles suggesting only that portion was exposed to sun.

Premature aging due to Sun is known as photo aging and UVA,UVB results in wrinkle formation and other skin problems and skin cancer. They damage collagen and elastin resulting in the formation of metalloproteinases.

Soloshot 2: Automatic tripod

American company Soloshot have developed and produced an automatic camera tripod, which can capture perfect third-person footage without a cameraman.

SoloShot is a robotic camera base for a tripod that comes with a smart tag that the base can track. The base can pan 360 degrees at 80 degrees per second and tilt 140 degrees at 35 degrees per second, and can do all of this while following and focusing on the tag, which the video subject can simply strap on.

Soloshot 2 is the updated model which has been recently released.

Facebook Messenger adds video calling

Facebook has rolled out video calling on its Messenger mobile application, letting users have face-to-face conversations. The service will work between Apple devices and those powered by Google's Android software.

The free feature, which works over both LTE and Wi-Fi, competes with similar products including Microsoft's Skype, Google Hangouts, and Apple's FaceTime.

Facebook claims the new video chat delivers the best audio and video, across different types of Internet connections and data networks.

In a related move, last week Facebook introduced Hello, an Android dialer and contacts manager that promotes using Facebook for more calls.

Eating and hunger in Humans are controlled by  melanoncortin 4 receptor-regulated (MC4R) circuit which acts as a neural link. Nature Neuroscience online version carried out the findings.

3D printed good attracting everyone

3D printed food is catching the attention of everyone in some parts of the world. Natural Machines, Barcelona,Spain is already selling its 3D food printer Foodini to restaurants in Netherlands. With the machine a huge hit, Marjin Roovers is planning to sell its printer to households consumers.

Roovers says he wants to revolutionalise food making . However some say 3D printers work with powers or pastes and this will turn food into mushy. However they have already reworked on it. Roovers is confident that consumers will love their new textures and colors.
