Siri feature request: continuous listening
Read more . . . →Apple's new Siri voice assistant is a really useful feature but a few improvements could be made. I have read several forums with users requesting continuous listening and I can hear the privacy critics howling already and it goes something like this: "Coninuously listen??! But then Siri will know all about my planned defection to the Communists! Unacceptable." All jokes aside, one of the biggest hurdles to using the assistant is getting Siri to begin listening.

I am a lover and user of this desktop replacement laptop. Do you realize what this discontinuation means? If the logic board fries on this laptop while writing this post it will never even exist! All joking aside the 17-inch MacBook Pro's disappearance is a little more than a personal problem, its a community problem. While the laptop has traditionally been unpopular with consumers, professionals and special...

Where is the good tech analysis:Apple Obsolescence Debate
Read more . . . →Do we need to stop being good analytical thinkers because we're dealing with technology? I don't think so and I'm always wary for misleading analysis.
