For those unaware, GitHub, which is used by more than 28 million developers and 1.5 million companies across the world, has been free to students and teachers for classroom use for years now. By using GitHub, students, teachers, and schools can access the tools and events needed for school projects and collaborate with others and build a portfolio that showcases real-world experience.

According to the researchers, the vulnerability exists since 2008 when it was introduced in GNU C Library. The GNU C Library is a open source code which is used to power thousands of apps, software and is used in most Linux distros. The bug also leaves home routers and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices vulnerable to attacks. Ars Technica notes that a function known as getaddrinfo() that performs domain-name lookups contains a buffer overflow bug that allows attackers to remotely execute malicious code....

In the patent, the company drew a design for a laptop that takes the place of the space bar with an extended touchpad. The patent states that part of the touchpad—separated by a line or a ridge—would act as a space bar, and the rest would just be a regular trackpad. A set of sensors that are put under the touchpad would ascertain whether the user wants a space bar or a mouse: When the user is typing, a single tap will create a space, but while using the touchpad as a mouse, a tap will result in a mouse click....

This can take place through the use of smartphones. So how exactly will users will be warned before the arrival of an earthquake? Through an app called MyShake, which is currently available on Google Play Store. MyShake’s goal is to use the sensors in your smartphone to record earthquake shaking. The app was developed thanks to the efforts of individuals present inside the UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. These individuals hope that they will be able to create a dense and connected network that could one day provide accurate information concerning a natural disaster before it even occurs....

The new technology called Smart Reply uses “deep learning” — a form of artificial intelligence – to its Inbox by Gmail app that will analyze email conversations from across Google’s Gmail service and suggest a few, brief responses. “The network will tailor both the tone and content of the responses to the email you’re reading”, says Alex Gawley, Product Management Director at Google. “Smart Reply suggests up to three responses based on the emails you get”, said Google....

Google developers are quietly working on an HTML5 video player, known as Shaka Player that can function on bandwidth involving low internet connections.

According to the Vance’s book, Musk is scared that Page and Google could build “a fleet of artificial-intelligence-enhanced robots capable of destroying mankind.” He doesn’t think this is Page’s intention, of course, but he notes that Page could instead “produce something evil by accident.” Musk had earlier signed an open letter along with Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, earlier this year advising caution when developing artificial intelligence moving forward. During an Ask Me Anything thread on Reddit, Bill Gates also disclosed that he is in agreement with Elon Musk on this topic, saying that we should be worried about artificial intelligence....

Graphene The graphite that you see at the end of a pencil tip is made up of multiple layers of carbon atoms. When that layer is reduced to be just one atom thick – we get graphene.
