Netflix brought into the Sony Entertainment Network fold for British Bravia buffs

Image

Britons and citizens of the ROI! Sony's bringing Netflix to all Sony Entertainment Network-connected devices. It looks like Kaz Hirai's plan to "unify" the company and its media offerings is beginning to gain a little momentum. If you have a SEN-connected 2012 Bravia TV or Blu-ray player, then the app should be available soon -- although no-one seems to know precisely when. If you're on PS3, or in the States, then Netflix is old news, so don't bother with the press release after the break

Amazon Android Developers Can Now Charge More Than $20 For In-App Purchases

images-screenshots-captures-amazon-appstore-logo-21032011_00B4000000001978Amazon is now letting developers charge higher prices for in-app purchases thanks to new parental controls it just overhauled. The company sent out an e-mail to developers today that said: "With our parental controls functionality now updated, in-app items over $20 may now be submitted via the developer portal." Developers depend on these pricier items to make their businesses work since only a small percentage (usually in the single digits) of their users pay in their games. These so-called "whales" are responsible for the bulk of a developer's revenues. In a study earlier this year, mobile analytics company Flurry found that transactions that were more than $20 make up the majority of revenue for top-grossing games on iOS and Android.

Roboethics: Three ways to make sure future robots have morals

20 hrs.

As robots become increasingly intelligent and lifelike, it?s not hard to imagine a future where they?re completely autonomous. Once robots can do what they please, humans will have to figure out how to keep them from lying, cheating, stealing, and doing all the other nasty things that us carbon-based creatures do on a daily basis. Enter roboethics, a field of robotic research that aims to ensure robots adhere to certain moral standards.

In a recent paper (PDF), researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology discuss how humans can make sure that robots don?t get out of line.

Have ethical governors
The killing robots used by the military all have some sort of human component--lethal force won?t be applied unless a person makes the final decision. But that could soon change, and when it does, these robots need to know how to act humanely. What that means in the context of war is debatable, but some sort of ethical boundaries need to be set. Indiscriminate killing robots don?t help anyone.?

An ethical governor--a piece of the robot?s architecture that decides whether a lethal response is warranted based on preset ethical boundaries--may be the answer. A military robot with an ethical governor might only attack if a victim is in a designated kill zone or near a medical facility, for example. It could use a "collateral damage estimator" to make sure it only takes out the target and not all the other people nearby.

Establish emotions
Emotions can help ensure that robots don?t do anything inappropriate--in a military context and elsewhere. A military robot could be made to feel an increasing amount of "guilt" if repeatedly chastised by its superiors. Pile on enough guilt, and the robot might forbid itself from completing any more lethal actions.

Emotions can also be useful in non-military human-robot interactions. Deception could help a robot in a search-and-rescue operation by allowing it to calmly tell panicked victims that they will be fine, while a confused patient with Alzheimer?s might need to be deceived by a nursing robot. But future programmers need to remember: It?s a slippery slope from benign deception to having autonomous robots that compulsively lie to get what they want.

Respect humans
If robots don?t respect humans, we?re in trouble. That?s why the researchers stress that autonomous robots will need to respect basic human rights, including privacy, identity, and autonomy. If we can?t ensure that intelligent robots will do these things, we should refrain from unleashing them en masse.

Of course, humans don?t always act ethically. Perhaps we could use an ethical governor as well for those times when our brains lead us astray. The researchers explain: "We anticipate as an outcome of these earlier research thrusts, the ability to generate an ethical advisor suitable for enhancing human performance, where instead of guiding an autonomous robot?s ethical behavior, it instead will be able to provide a second opinion for human users operating in ethically challenging areas, such as handling physically and mentally challenged populations."

In the end, robots might make us more human.
