Good news Nintendo fans: the NES Classic Mini will be returning soon.

It’s a good day for Nintendo fans, the company has announced that the NES Classic Mini is going to be back in stock next summer. The hugely successful console in a tiny little case sold like proverbial hotcakes, leading to stock running out and prices on auction sites souring.
While previously the company had said that shipments would cease at the end of this year, now the company is planning on shipping more units in 2018.
Interestingly, the same thing has been happening with its followup, SNES Classic Mini that is routinely selling out every time more come into stock. But there’s good news for people who want one of these too.
Nintendo is extending shipments of the SNES Classic Mini into 2018 too.
And that’s not all. For UK Nintendo fans, Game is celebrating National Video Game Day (yes, there is a video game day) by reducing the price of the Nintendo Switch to £259.99.

North Korea ‘hacking Bitcoin exchanges to steal money’ as Kim builds 'criminal enterprise'

Bithumb was hacked in February, although the breach was not noticed until June, and it was only made public in July. At the time one customer claimed more than a million dollars’ worth of digital currency was stolen. Claire Finkelstein, a national security expert and faculty director at the University of Pennsylvania’s Centre for Ethics and the Rule of Law told Buzzfeed News: “This is very consistent with what I would expect North Korea to be doing.” Luke McNamara, a senior analyst with FireEye, also said: “I see there being two macro drivers of this threat activity.” According to Mr McNamara, the first driver was the tightening of sanctions on North Korea's economy. But he added: “You also have cryptocurrencies appreciating significantly since the beginning of the year. So you see cryptocurrency exchanges, particularly in South Korea, becoming a logical target.” Ms Finkelstein warned that Bitcoin is a “high-risk currency” because it can be “easily manipulated” maki...

Lawsuit accuses Google of bias against women in pay, promotions

Three female former employees of Alphabet Inc's Google filed a lawsuit on Thursday accusing the tech company of discriminating against women in pay and promotions. The proposed class action lawsuit, filed in California state court in San Francisco, comes as Google faces an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor into sex bias in pay practices. The lawsuit appears to be the first to make class action sex bias claims against Google, but is only the latest instance of a major tech company being accused of discriminating against women. The Department of Labor sued Oracle America Inc in January, claiming it paid white men more than women and minorities with similar jobs. Microsoft Corp and Twitter Inc are facing sex bias lawsuits, and Qualcomm Inc last year settled claims for $19.5 million. Meanwhile, Uber Technologies Inc in June said it would make a series of changes after a former engineer in a blog post accused the ride-hailing service of condoning ra...

IBM makes breakthrough in race to commercialise quantum computers.

Researchers at International Business Machines Corp have developed a new approach for simulating molecules on a quantum computer.  The breakthrough, outlined in a research paper to be published in the scientific journal Nature on Sept 14, uses a technique that could eventually allow quantum computers to solve difficult problems in chemistry and electro-magnetism that cannot be solved by even the most powerful supercomputers today.  In the experiments described in the paper, IBM researchers used a quantum computer to derive the lowest energy state of a molecule of beryllium hydride. Knowing the energy state of a molecule is a key to understanding chemical reactions.  In the case of beryllium hydride, a supercomputer can solve this problem, but the standard techniques for doing so cannot be used for large molecules because the number of variables exceeds the computational power of even these machines.  The...
