Oracle to dispute verdict in the trail against Google

Oracle demands that the trial that Google won be thrown out on the grounds of withholding evidence during discovery.

Oracle started a copyright case against Google in 2010, claiming infringement on the Java API in Google's Android OS. Oracle lost, for a second time, this May. But now, the Oracle attorneys claim that Google was trying to enter into market for Java SE on desktops, which might have had impact on the jury's decision, while Google's attorneys' response is that this information was beyond the scope of the trial.

Playing Go with an AI

An artificially intelligent computing system built by researchers at Google, AlphaGo, was playing its second game of a match of Go with one of the world's top players, Lee Sedol. On the 37th move, it shocked everyone by playing a very surprising move, seemingly unrelated to its earlier play.

Eventually it will win the game.
