Here's the official press release: http://press.asus.com/PressReleases/p/ASUS-Showcases-the-Latest-Innovations-at-Computex-2015#.VXhnmflVhBc
 
And official pic as well

It was a fantastic meetup.  Was great to meet a few of you and everyone was super friendly!  I'm sure Linus will be doing this again at some point, but don't expect it to be for some time.  It's lots of work to setup, not to mention all the staff are completely burnt.
 
My HTC One m8 unfortunately didn't have a functional rear camera, but i did snap this of one of the tours.

TL;DR - Google hates spam, created a artificial neural network to detect and block spam.
 
Gmail since it launched has been on the leading edge of tech. They were the first to offer gigabyte storage for your online messaging needs.  They then decided to continue increasing it to the point now where if you're using that much storage, I think it's time for you to evaluate the way you use email.  (Hint: Cloud storage is a thing now).
 
In the Official Gmail blog, they've posted their latest innovation.  They are going after the spammers in a major way. They are utilizing those "Report Spam" and "Not Spam" buttons to improve your experience.  It uses those clicks to train the filters using an artificial neural network. (Read more here).  I know I've been guilty of simply deleting spam.  Seems that they're encouraging us to filter things the way we like to.  
Furthermore, they're not just doing this as a "blanket" filter.  Instead of applying the same rules to everyone, they're recognizing that some people do like newsletters and sale notifications (I know I do).  Therefore, they're going to be applying a custom filter to each individual inbox.  I don't think each inbox is going to be getting it's own neural network instance, but if I am to be so bold, I think a neural network is going to categorize your behavior into one of several bucket types.  By placing you into a bucket of other like-minded individuals, together you can improve your particular gmail experience. 
 
Another focus is the "impersonation" factor.  As an IT admin of a company, I cannot stress how valuable this is. There are an increasing number of emails that are sent "from one of your contacts" that instead utilize relays of unsecured email servers.  If I am to read in between the lines, it seems that the network will determine if it's truly from that sender by creating a "fingerprint" of how that user speaks.  This really isn't anything new, but it is very interesting.  For example, I type with two spaces between my sentences.  If I were to send an email with one space only, an AI can detect that and determine that it's likely a phony spam. 
 
They also go on to talk about Postmaster Tools which is now officially launched (it was a private beta for some time now).  High-volume senders can now get error reports and whatnot to determine why their reputation might be bad.  Many companies don't know the first thing about sending out emails - wave-based emails for example is now a thing but perhaps it doesn't have to be depending on how many recipients you have.  Google is doing their best to make sure email gets to the target audience as intended. 
 
I really like the Gmail experience and I hope other major email providers will follow suit.  Can't wait to see what's next in a decidedly "unsexy" part of the IT industry. 

The future is here gentlemen (and ladies) who are of this persuasion. 
 
Pornhub of all people have "developed" (I think it's more like they decided to rebrand something that some other company made) a Twerking Butt. 
 
Now let's get this out of the way right from the start.  The rest of this post is going to border into the NSFW category (as stated in the title) so please turn back now and instead navigate here on your smartphone at work.  (Be considerate ya kno?)
 
See their ad here: 
 
See their full website (where you can also buy it) here: http://www.twerkingbutt.com/
 
Anyways, this seems to be a fancy version of a fleshlight or other sexual toy.  In addition to having "warming," "vibration," and "massage" settings, there are also twerking options.  But that's not all folks!
 
They seem to be inlcuding a "Cyberskin VR" which is a VR headset which by their marketing material seems to be similar to the Samsung Gear VR which uses your phone's screen as the brains and guts and simply exists as a shell with lenses. 
 
Oh and it's made out of cyberskin material.. "whatever that is."
 
Enjoy your weird news of the day.  
 
Editorial - From a strictly male perspective.  I find that the use of such accessories completely unecessary, but apparently companies such as "Real Doll" exist (Google is your friend).  I personally have no idea how these companies exist but hey, if you can hire a girl to be your fake girlfriend via text, there is a market for lots of lonely men out there.
 
On the other hand, if there was ever a company that could launch such a product, Pornhub would be it.  There are so many toys on the market that honestly this distinguishes itself by including a VR headset and creating a VR experience to go along with your overpriced piece of silicon masturbatory aid.  If any company could sponsor the content to do so it would be Pornhub or one of the other big players such as Vivid.  What Pornhub has on it's side is a bunch of more technical savvy people that are already watching on their computers as opposed to the brick an mortar DVD viewers that other companies may target. 
 
Bottom line - hilarious product, "twerks" but not really, future is NAO.  Also... never buy 1st gen.  next year's model is going to be so much better!

Oh nick.. you so sexy.. I know what would make you even sexier? Giving me that MOUSE!
 
Nothing says sex appeal quite like free stuff to the face - know what I mean?

Was about to ask the same thing.  Far as I know, Pornhub is a privately held company and is offered no governmental aid whatsoever.

So Japan has now responded and decided to not only accept, but they've upped the ante.  They want to battle, but they also want the bots to duke it out in melee combat instead of just a paintball duel. 
 
This should be very interesting and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the major networks like Discovery or NBC gets ahold of the TV rights to air this battle. 
 
Should make for some interesting spectacle if nothing else now that robots are trending up with the recent revival of battlebots.
