FOSSIL FUELS AT WHAT PRICE? EU ANALYSIS LOOKS AT ENERGY COSTS
A new report, "Subsidies and costs of EU energy" addresses different forms of energy production. The study was ordered and paid for by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy. Why bother? "The functioning of energy markets and the size and effect of government interventions has been the subject of debate for years," said the European Commission. "To date however, a consolidated dataset for government interventions in the power market of the European Union has been missing. This is why the European Commission has commissioned a study that aims at helping to close the knowledge gap by quantifying the extent of public interventions in energy markets in all 28 Member States." They presented the interim results of the external study on subsidies and EU energy costs earlier this month.

OCULUS RIFT USERS TO SEE MOON LIVE THROUGH ROBOT
A group from Carnegie Mellon wants to send a robot to the Moon to beam live pictures of the Moon to Oculus Rift headset users, reported technology reporter Jane Wakefield of the BBC. Andy the robot is intended to swing into action as a robot on a mission to transform education about space. The team has a plan to land the robot on the Moon to act as eyes for those still on Earth. A key component to all this is the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. Andy has motion-controlled vision. With that headset, movements of the user's head will be tracked and sent back to Andy's camera, in order for it to match where the user is looking.

SOME ONLINE SHOPPERS PAY MORE THAN OTHERS, STUDY SHOWS
Internet users regularly receive all kinds of personalized content, from Google search results to product recommendations on Amazon. This is thanks to the complex algorithms that produce results based on users' profiles and past activity. It's Big Data at work, and it's often advantageous for users. But such personalization can also be a disadvantage to buyers, according to a team of Northeastern University researchers, when e-commerce websites manipulate search results or customize prices without the user's knowledge—and which in some cases leads to some online shoppers paying more than others for the same thing.
