Today's Story Highlights
Google's AlphaGo Defeats Human Master of Ancient Game
Research at Google on Wednesday announced that AlphaGo has become the first computer software system to beat a human at the ancient game of
Go. There are more possible positions in Go than there are the number of
atoms in the universe, and it has a googol more positions than chess,
Google pointed out. That complexity makes it difficult for computers to
play Go.

Your Facebook Friends Are Really Not That Into You
Most of your friends on Facebook may not care much about you at all, suggests an Oxford University study. Friendships on social networks are
not that different from real-world friendships, found Robin Dunbar, the
professor of evolutionary psychology who conducted the research. In
other words, people in your social network are no more your friends
online than they would be in real life.

Starry Eyes Speedy Internet Access
Project Decibel on Wednesday announced Starry, a company that promises easy broadband Internet access at speeds of up to 1 GB with no caps.
Starry will deploy what it says is the world's first millimeter wave
band for consumer Internet communications. Initial deployment will be a
beta in Boston in the summer. Starry has an FCC license to run pilots
for 24 months in Boston and 14 other cities.
