This is the very long awaited implementation of 'Something You Have' as a method of authentication. Ideally, this is combined with 'Something You Know', such as a password, and 'Something You Are', such as your fingerprint or face. These are the sta…

It has been my personal impression over the last couple years that Bloomberg has striven to place younger employees into the position of reporting. This has been most evident in their video programming. I've often found the new, younger staff to be …

Problem: Apple doesn't own the speech recognition software used in Siri. It's owned by Nuance, derived from Dragon, licensed by Apple. Dragon's patents are far older than the patent troll's. The applicable part of Siri is database traversal and res…
