Software

New software is able to autonomously repair software bugs by borrowing from other programs, without requiring access to the source code. This could save developers thousands of hours of programming time and lead to much more stable software.

Microsoft today launched Office 2016 Preview, making it available for users who want to get an early look at the latest iteration of the company's productivity suite. This new version includes several new features and is designed to work seamlessly across a wide range of devices.

In this final part of our deep dive into the world of computational creativity, we turn to the underlying ideas and challenges that face the field as a whole as researchers grapple with questions of non-human creativity and public fears about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence.

French programmer Fabrice Bellard has come up with a graphics format he believes can "replace the JPEG image format." Bellard’s BPG (Better Portable Graphics) format boasts a compelling quality advantage over JPG, particularly when images are heavily compressed.

A video game called Rover that was developed by the US military uses an Xbox Kinect is being used to help train dog handlers to detect subtle cues from canines that are used to sniff out buried improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The robotic revolution very often is less about replacing human workers than finding ways of working alongside them. Rethink Robotics’ new Robot Positioning System lets the Baxter robot do factory work without being bolted to the floor, yet adjust itself as it endures random bumps.

Microsoft's Windows 10 Technical Preview has been available for a few weeks now, and if you want to get a feel for what's coming but don't have an extra PC to install it on, installing it on a virtual machine is a hassle free way to give the new features a test drive.

Microsoft recently released the first iteration of its new operating system to the public in the form of Windows 10 Technical Preview. Here's a look at how to install it as well as check out the current new features you can expect when the final version is released.

The United States Air Force (USAF) has announced that it is in the process of fitting out its fleet of F-16 fighters with a NASA-developed system, that has the potential to save hundreds of lives and billions of dollars by preventing aircraft crashes due to pilot error.

With so many tech devices in our lives these days, it's important to stay on top of maintenance that needs to be done periodically on your Windows PC and other devices to keep things running smoothly. Here's a look at some tasks that should really be carried out regularly.

Researchers at the Interactive Geometry Lab at ETH Zurich have developed a whole new way of creating movement in virtual software characters by providing developers with the ability to create 3D model "joysticks" outside the computer that directly create shape and movement inputs.

The number of devices connected to the Internet of Things is expected to reach 26 billion by 2020. The latest company to focus its efforts on organizing this impending sea of data is Bug Labs, which last week launched Freeboard, a simple web-based dashboard that tracks connected devices.
