    After switching from Android to iOS one of the things I missed most was Google Now in comparison to Siri. Before I was far more likely to say "Okay Google" and get surprisingly con…

    I think this article hints at what may have been one of the causes of that change in direction. It appears that Russia faked black radical activism in social media in order to inte…
