That Computer Actually Got an F on the Turing Test
Over the weekend, a group of programmers claimed they built a program that passed the famous Turing Test, in which a computer tries to trick judges into believing that it is a human. According to new reports, this is a historic accomplishment. But is it really? And what does it mean for artificial intelligence?

Xerox Machines Change Docs After Scanning
The next time you scan a document, you may need to check that all the t's are crossed, the i's are dotted, and that all the numbers add up. A glitch recently discovered in two of Xerox's WorkCentre machines has been changing numbers on scanned documents, possibly for several years now. The glitch was discovered by David Kriesel, a computer science researcher at the University of Bonn in Germany.
