  • Apple considering offline mode for Siri that could process voice locally on an iPhone

    hodar said:
    So, if you think Siri is stupid now, just wait.

    Try asking Siri a very basic question, like "How old am I", or "When will I be 59 1/2 years old".  Siri will suggest websites; which is asinine.  Siri knows my birthday, anniversary, the birthday of my kids, friends and neighbors (as long as I have the information in my contacts); but is unable to use that date, and a calendar to answer very basic questions.  Voice recognition on Siri has improved - but Siri's ability to do anything useful with that information is almost 5 years behind both Google, and Amazon - which is pathetic - since Apple practically invented a useful Virtual Assistant.

    Now, between Cortana, Echo and Google Echo - Siri is pretty much a dead last competitor; when it should be the BEST - by far.
    Did it occure to you why Cortana or Echo are better at answring thosr questions? Well, that is becasue those assistants do have access to that information, because engineers made them like that. Apple, I guess, is trying to protect private info a little better.

  • UBS cuts AAPL target price by $15 over low iPhone XR demand, component order cuts

    AAPL should just take advantage of this and buy back more shares. While analysts will keep chasing iPhone numbers
    Buybacks are planned in advance, from what I've heard. There would be too much incentive to tank their own stock, then buy it back en masse otherwise. Huge conflict of interest.
    Yeah Finra probably limits that activity, just like they do when CEO sells stock.

  • iPhone unit sales concern overblown, doesn't cover Apple's business as a whole says Morgan...

    Hey Jim, we need to buy some Apple stock. Can you pay your goons to run some articles? Maybe it will push the price even lower...
    Lol. I guess, they wanna drop the price even lower.

  • Maryland man without backup sues Adobe over Premiere Pro file-eating bug

    ecarlseen said:
    Can everyone quit slagging the guy for not having sufficient backup? Should he have had it? Definitely. But there's absolutely, positively zero excuse for vendors like Adobe (and Microsoft last month with the Windows 10 update) playing so absurdly fast and loose with customer data. These software vendors are forcing their customers into far more expensive subscription pricing models in a vain attempt to maintain revenue growth and correspondingly high stock prices for just a little bit longer, which is sketchy enough, but they're also getting much worse at quality control in the process, which is flat-out evil. Adobe has been one of the worst custodians of IT quality and security in the history of computing with their egregiously and shamelessly poor stewardship of the Flash plugin. Microsoft infamously fired most of their QA personnel a few years ago in order to foist that work onto their "insider" fan base, which has made their extremely poor reputation in that are decline even further. Yes, users do stupid things, but in cases like this we need to focus hard on the deeply evil neglect that certain software vendors have had for our data as well.
    All the more reason why you should have a good backup. Adobe had a part in this, for sure, but not a $5M part, as data security has always been, and should always be, the user's sole provenance.
    Problem for Adobe, is that it is gonna have to say in his user agreement that they are not responsible for any loss of data/information, because our engineers can't design a system that could keep you data from being wiped out. That is not something a (((pro))) grade software company should say.
