If you own a smartphone it is all but guaranteed that you will have experienced the handset dying on you at an inconvenient moment.
Battery tech simply has not kept pace with other advancements, and our increasingly data-hungry lifestyles mean many models fail to last a full day of moderate use.
The issue has given rise to a spin-off industry of add-on battery packs from the likes of Mophie and Anker.
But a number of start-ups think they have a better solution, as the BBC’s North America technology correspondent Richard Taylor reports.

    Should have just bought something like a Samsung S5 instead of that iPhone and you'd just be able to change the battery!

    If you care so much about battery life don't buy shit like the iPhone 6 when you can buy a Xperia Z3 or Droid Turbo.

    Nonsense. Just stop buying phones with FullHD displays with tons of pointelss "features". You don't need quad-core for calling, sending messages or browsing a facebook…

    How about leaving your smart phone at home. That'll save the battery, the environment and money.

Published

South Koreas Lantern Festival has won the Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage status.

It’s an annual festival that dates back centuries and it marks the birthday of Buddha. All across the country you’ll find colourful lanterns decorating temples, houses and streets and there also are large parades with elaborate floats.

Unesco said the spring festival was “a time of joy” which “in times of difficulties, plays an important role in…helping people overcome the troubles of the day.”

Unesco’s Intangible Cultural Heritage status aims to protect traditions, knowledge and skills which are often inherited through generations, so they are not lost or forgotten as time moves on.

Urgent research needed to tackle AI threats, says Google AI boss | BBC News

Published

on



More research on the threats of artificial intelligence (AI) “needs to be done urgently”, the boss of Google DeepMind has told BBC News.

In an exclusive interview at the AI Impact Summit in Delhi, Sir Demis Hassabis said the industry wanted “smart regulation” for “the real risks” posed by the tech.

Many tech leaders and politicians at the Summit have called for more global governance of AI, ahead of an expected joint statement as the event draws to a close.

But the US has rejected this stance, with White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios saying: “AI adoption cannot lead to a brighter future if it is subject to bureaucracies and centralised control.”

Sir Demis said the two main threats were the technology being used by “bad actors”, and the risk of losing control of systems as they become more powerful.

When asked whether he had the power to slow down the progress of the tech to give experts more time to work on its challenges, he said his firm had an important role to play, but was “only one player in the ecosystem”.

But he admitted keeping up with the pace of AI development was “the hard thing” for regulators.
