Apple's Siri director to speak at AI Frontiers conference in November
wonkothesane said:anantksundaram said:Maybe he can avoid talking about Syria. Or, more seriously, why Siri is still such an underdeveloped piece of poorly implemented software five years after its introduction.
Buy Watson already, and restart from scratch, Apple. And Siri-ously, shut down this silly little toy project.About supported languages, I am Dutch speaking and the "Dutch" Siri is just an embarrassment for Apple. It roughly understands 1 out if 5 questions I throw at it. Using an English speaking Siri is an huge improvement in terms of understanding what I am asking, but it lacks the local context and the understanding of local names (persons, towns, ...).Privacy is important. However I don't mind that an assistant collects my data to provide me a better service. I do mind that the collected data is reused/abused in other circumstances unless I gave my explicit consent for it.

More than 75% of Nintendo's $60M Super Mario Run global revenues came from iOS
Owning an app development company, I just give the situation of our company. All our apps are built for both iOS and Android, are mainly targeted at an European market (90% of the customers are EU residents) and are not in the game segment. Currently the revenue split of the paid apps is about 60% Android , 40% iOS. So Apple generates relatively more revenue compared to the 25% market share it has in the EUWe also have apps with a subscription, which is not paid by the user but by the organization the user belongs to. This revenue is directly invoiced to these organizations and is as such not visible for Apple or Google. Here the split of users is 65% Android vs 35% iOS.So business models, regions and segments have an impact

A year with MacBook Pro: reviewing Apple's 2017 pro laptop models
nunzy said:don't worry about the keyboard. The review says that there was no problem found during testing.A previous article confirms that the problem is only present in a tiny percentage of devices. People just hate Apple.MplsP said:Rayz2016 said:rogtuf said:The USB-C connector on the MBP is hopeless. It falls out as soon as there is the slighted tension on the cable. Putting USB-C on the Iphone would be a very bad idea.
