In this podcast Todd Ogasawara and Jon Westfall discuss: Evernote noticed I haven't used it in a while, Facebook's new 2d to 3d photo feature, Microsoft's Cortana is shedding its consumer features, rumor  of the next Apple Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro getting a trackpad, and an iPhone 11 surviving after surviving at the bottom of lagoon for several months.

3rd in a series of interviews w/ AI "Assistants", this podcast is an interview w/ Siri. Enjoy! (Next planned interview is with Microsoft's Cortana. Be sure to return for that later this week!)

This is the first in a series of interviews with the most well known AI Assistants. This episode is an interview with Alexa. Coming soon are interviews with: Apple's Siri, Google's Assistant, Microsoft's Cortana, and (possibly) Samsung's Bixby.Each episode will be an individual interview with the AI Assistant. The final episode of the series will be a compilation of responses to the same question from each participant!

Voice assistant apps like Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant are about to transform the economics of the web. Nearly a quarter of all households in the US and in China already have a smart speaker in their homes, allowing them to play music, order a delivery or find out the news, all by simply talking to their computer. Meanwhile an estimated 2.5bn smartphones now carry these wannabe AI oracles. Manuela Saragosa asks Silicon Valley analyst Carolina Milanesi whether this new technology could one day rival the conversational prowess of the ship's computer on Star Trek. And what kind of vision do the likes of Google, Apple and Amazon have for it? Meanwhile journalist and author James Vlahos explains why he thinks their advent is bad news for anyone who wants to maintain any visibility on the internet. And we put his criticisms to one of the major players - Andrew Shuman from the team behind Microsoft's Cortana voice assistant.

When it comes to smart speakers, most people think of Google Home or Amazon Echo. People forget Apple's Siri was one of the first voice platforms to hit the market but not through a speaker but your smartphone. Today, Apple is selling their own smart speaker called Apple HomePod. In this episode, GearBrain will talk about all the things you can do with a HomePod and compare it to the other smart speakers on the market. We will also discuss how Apple's Siri voice platform stacks up to Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana voice platforms. You can visit www.gearbrain.com for more information on Apple HomePod, other smart speakers and information on how these new devices can change your life.

On today's Pocketnow Daily, we have the latest on some new Apple patents that could mean the return of Touch ID to its devices. Then we talk about some new leaks for the Huawei Mate 20 Lite provided by Evan Blass and confirmation from Huawei that the Mate 20 Pro will bring the Kirin 980 chipset. The Motorola P30 is now available in China for as little as $300 with premium mid-ranger specs and a design that's controversial to say the least. Amazon's Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana are finally available to work together after the companies showed a preview of a new joint command. We end today's show with deals for Apple Music for Verizon Unlimited subscribers.Touch ID could make its way back to iPhone devicesHuawei Mate 20 leaks: notch measurements, screen size, and press rendersiPhone X-like Motorola P30 gets official in China, and it’s cheapCortana and Alexa now work together in Microsoft and Amazon devicesHere’s how to get free Apple Music for 6 months from Verizon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out 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."

Chris, Skip, Yoha, and M say goodbye to Mickey Rooney and the Ultimate Warrior. Both were icons, though for different obvious reasons. Wonder what would happen if Mickey Rooney had ever started wrestling. How would win a match? We should all be proud NASA. They caught 7 whole interstellar particles recently. Microsoft's Cortana will order porn books off Amazon for you... and remind you to close your zipper too. Will there be a Borderlands sequel soon... on the moon? Enjoy the show.
