Brian Kilmeade, the host of Fox and Friends, wakes up each morning to put together his show--which is one of the most watched daily programs in the country--knowing full well that one person in his audience just happens to be the most powerful person in the entire world.  We talk with Kilmeade........ Speaking of the national political climate, it's about to get a whole lot more tense after Democrats in the House moved just one step away from impeaching President Trump.  We look ahead to the impeachment vote and the Senate trial. The chaotic politics of the United Kingdom are feeling slightly more settled today, after an election blowout that vaulted the conservative Tories to big majorities and decimated the Labour party--we go to London for an up-close view. And there appears to be a cease fire in the Trump trade war with China--so what was gained for all those tariffs and economic pain? See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

When Google wowed the tech world with its demo of Duplex -- the tech that allows its digital Assistant make phone calls to perform mundane tasks like booking haircuts or making restaurant reservations -- Microsoft's Cortana chief was impressed, but not worried. "The technologist in me had no choice but to feel impressed," Javier Soltero, Microsoft corporate vice president of Cortana, said in this episode of Mashable's MashTalk podcast. "The idea that a computer can generate a voice with the right processes, right inflection, all of the right things to mimic humans, is amazing to see in practice, but not entirely surprising." But Soltero didn't immediately think, "We need to do something similar with Cortana so we can catch up to what they're doing." In fact, the Google Duplex demo emphasized just how different the two companies' approaches to voice technology are. Whereas Google is clearly putting consumer-friendly features that automate mundane tasks front and center, Microsoft is looking to make Cortana into a more symbiotic tool -- something that works in conjunction with a human, not necessarily in the person's stead. Think that scene in the first Iron Man movie, where Tony Stark has a continuous conversation with his digital assistant, JARVIS, as he designs the second generation of his armor. "It was clear that that was not where we were headed," Soltero said of Duplex. "We are interested in not that level of having the computer do stuff for you. We're more trying to enable you to do more things yourself." Soltero become master of Cortana in March 2018 after playing a big role in Microsoft's Outlook and Office apps. He first came to the company by way of Acompli, a well-regarded email app that Microsoft acquired in 2014. After successfully turning Outlook into one of the best email apps on mobile, he's now putting his expertise to work to push forward Microsoft's voice assistant. And it definitely needs a push -- the mindshare in the voice-assistant space is dominated by Amazon, Google, and, to a lesser extent, Apple. Even Samsung seems to have gotten more buzz. It's not like Cortana has been stagnant. It's made progress by migrating from phones to PCs (although, considering the fate of Windows Phone/Mobile, it was more like abandoning ship), and the first Cortana-enabled smart speakers, starting with the Harman Kardon Invoke, arrived on the market last year. Still, the Invoke isn't a Microsoft product. Given the ever-expanding number of competing products powered by Alexa or Google Assistant, everybody's wondering when Microsoft will flex its growing hardware muscles (its line of Surface tablets and laptops has been a solid success for the company) to build its own smart speaker. "We have lots and lots of ambitious plans that I can't discuss, but you will be learning more as the course of the year plays out," Soltero said. "And as you've probably seen, we're working closely with Amazon to integrate Cortana into the Alexa and Echo experience as well as having Alexa integrate into Cortana. It's ultimately less about the device and more about where the effect of the assistant is felt." Although everything is "early days" in tech, when it comes to voice assistants, it's not just a line. In this case, science fiction has set the standard for what constitutes success in the field -- an interactive, almost telepathic computer that we can talk to just like we would a human. Star Trek, Her, and other movies have all shown the dream, but it's still a long way off. Getting there will mean taking many, many baby steps to get there, but Microsoft thinks it's on the right path after its acquisition of Semantic Machines. Besides technology, Semantic brings a keen philosophy to voice interactions -- there should be no "dead ends." Which is to say, when you make a query to one of these assistants, and it can't complete the query for whatever reason, it shouldn't just give up and tell you it doesn't understand. Instead, it'll keep asking follow-up questions until it gets you to what you want, and if it still can't do that, it provides an opportunity to teach the AI what the right answer is. The semantic machines team is hard at work with the Cortana folks to bring those capabilities into Cortana. I'm still, along with my team, really focused on this problem... how do we go from, 'Hey, Alexa, turn on the lights,' to what is a much more complicated and natural-sounding articulation." Getting to those natural interactions, tailored to each user, will clearly be a long process, with many steps, but Soltero is clear what he thinks is the next one. "The wake word is the first thing to go."

Join the Acquired Limited Partner program! https://kimberlite.fm/acquired/ (works best on mobile)   Ben and David have special guest Kurt DelBene on to discuss Microsoft's acquisition of Acompli, Sunrise, and Wunderlist. Kurt is the EVP of Corporate Strategy and Planning at Microsoft, and joins to discuss Microsoft’s cloud-first, mobile-first strategy, and the importance of being cross-platform in the modern era. They cover: How the app of Outlook Mobile on iPhone and Android came to be. How to decide whether to build vs. buy, and how it plays into the strategy for Office. How to preserve a culture and a team, and how Javier Soltero came to run all of Outlook at Microsoft. The origin of Outlook on the PC, originally led by Brian MacDonald as “Ren”. How to balance a business with competing priorities, and a decision-making framework for acquisitions in a large company. How to measure the success of an acquisition, and how sometimes, it’s not by measuring revenue at all.

本期话题包括 iOS 版 Outlook 邮件客户端、SnapChat 的 Discover 功能、OS X 上即将推出的新 Photos 软件、Uber 和公共交通的未来、以及如何正确地帮朋友升级手机。 每月三十元，支持李如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。 自称「软狗」的人最近一定感觉像过节一样。微软用 HoloLens 带大家窥视了未来（点这里听《IT 公论》的讨论），在移动互联网领域也呈现出一派新气象。要不是 Quartz 的 Dan Moren，我们都不知道微软在 iOS 和 Android 上的 app 数量已经超过了 100 个。质量上它们也不含糊，刚刚推出不久的 Outlook for iOS 被 The Verge 评为 iPhone 上最好用的 Gmail 客户端。无论你是否同意这个判断，Outlook for iOS 都不是你所知道的那个 Outlook——一副了无生趣的企业软件模样，而是更像一个手工精品作坊打磨出来的 iPhone 软件。呃……事实上它就是一个手工精品作坊打磨出来的 iPhone 软件：Outlook for iOS 是微软收购邮件客户端 Acompli 后的结果。iPad 版 Office，iOS 版 Outlook，加上微软最近又收购了日历软件 Sunrise，可以看出他们终于开始正视移动操作系统 iOS / Android 两分天下的局面。与其强推那推不动的 Windows，不如让微软的产品和服务「强势登陆」 96% 的人已经在用的系统。 SnapChat 这个软件李如一和 Rio 都不怎么用，但它最近新出的名叫「Discover」的新闻版块值得注意。Discover 和 Economist Espresso 一样，属于「一口可以吃完的新闻」。目前它整合了包括 CNN、美国《国家地理》、ESPN 在内的 12 个频道，每日提供五条左右的新闻。最有趣的是，Discover 中的新闻在表现形式上充分考虑了 SnapChat 用户的行为习惯。和 Economist Espresso 那种传统的「题图 + 正文「不同，Discover 中的新闻常常采取「视频导语 + 视频」的形式，显然比文字更受 SnapChat 用户的欢迎。不过，这种高人力成本的定制化新闻设计究竟能持续多久，目前仍然是未知数。 OS X 版的 Photos 软件已经随开发者预览版的 OS X 10.10.3 放出。这不仅是取代 iPhoto 和 Aperture 的照片管理软件，也是苹果把 OS X 「iOS 化」的重要一步。从目前各方的使用报告看，OS X 版 Photos 相当忠实地移植了 iOS 版 Photos。至于 Mac 和 iOS 设备在图片处理上能否真正流畅对接，就看苹果能把 iCloud Photo 的同步功能改善到什么地步了。 （《IT 公论》提醒各位：不要在你的主力电脑上安装开发者预览版的 OS X。） 人人都知道 Google 一直有在研发无人驾驶汽车，而 Uber 近日也宣布开始和卡耐基梅隆大学合作，进行同样的研究。另一方面，投资了 Uber 的 Google 现在却又要自己做一个类 Uber 服务。这几则新闻让 Rio 又开始琢磨公共交通的未来。在之前的节目里 Rio 曾经多次表达过自己并不喜欢私家车的概念，更希望汽车能够在技术的辅助下减少闲置时间，更有效地服务人类。完全没有私车、只有公共交通（包括预想中的「无人驾驶公共汽车」）的世界是共产主义世界吗？本期中关于交通问题的讨论只是开始。 最近我们读的一些文章 圣丹斯电影节上的虚拟现实 可怕的互联网新浪潮 I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream 相关链接 李如一设计词典：如何宠爱用户 Outlook for iOS iPhone 上最好的 Gmail 客户端是微软的 Outlook?

Email. Love it or hate it, there is still nothing that rivals it as a business tool. Everyone has an email address and the adoption and use is not abating despite the other communication channels that have emerged. Email has become synonymous with the smartphones we use - think back to the original flavour of BlackBerry, it was sold as a mobile email tool. Legend has it that when Lazaridis saw people responding to email on their BlackBerry's while sitting in front of their desktops he knew a shift had happened in the industry.   Flash forward to today and, if your inbox is like mine, email has become an albatross - a vacuous place where good deeds and intentions go to die. Mobile email was supposed to help smooth out our day so we don't return to our desks with 100's or 1000's or unread messages but this hasn't happened. Now, as we move more and more to a small screen as our dominant (read: first) screen, our practice of mobile email triage does not suffice.   This is where today's guest, Javier Soltero, and his company, Acompli begin. Javier and his team looked at email as a specific workflow and built an incredibly easy to use mobile app that solves many of our challenges with mobile email. This is the story of why Javier and Acompli are challenging the norm, the installed incumbents and the process of email use in a mobile world.   Full show notes can be found here:  http://untether.tv/2014/ep-515-how-to-build-the-perfect-mobile-email-client-with-acompli-co-founder-javier-soltero/

Brian Katz talks with Javier Soltero (@jsoltero) about his company Acompli, who have just come out of stealth with their new email app that is currently in Beta.
