iPhone will always lead as long as iOS is the standard. To be honest, most companies do good phone frames. But they all run on Android.

Apple has been smart by keeping iOS only for them and not work with partners as Android does, it helps keeping it optimized.

If someone could do the same, it'd be a game changer in the next 10 years.

I get the criticism and all your previous judgments samples are valid. I also agree that title is click-bait BUT: I know people are desperate for a Siri that works. The convince of just talking to your phone is priceless. If Apple gets this right, this is a huge deal – which it seems they are on the right track. People are still talking to Siri for basic stuff like timers and alarms because it works, doesn't need an…

Personally I hope you can also type to Siri, which is what I'll use WAY more than voice. I work from home and live alone, but even then I don't want to basically be talking to myself all day. I also live in a major urban city and while random people talking to themselves on the sidewalks certainly isn't unheard of it's not a great look, much less on a subway or cafe.

Yes, they showed the Siri app, typing, reviewing conversations etc.

He really missed something - Nvidia's video. Microsoft isn't the brand in front of the next AI on device. Nvidia and Microsoft are trying to figure that out, but it's likely (based on recent acquisitions) to be Nvidia on Windows.

I thought we’re done with Windows. Maybe it was wishful thinking.

Still over 60% of the laptop and desktop market. I'm hopeful that if the number drops, Microsoft gets their head out of their ass on usability. In the meantime I'll be on a Mac...

why are you censoring the word 'God'?

It's common in many religious communities to not write the name of God out. I think it likely comes from the Jewish tradition.

The idea of not naming G-d is based on the concept of being human comprehension and not within realm of human language. G-d can name things in our world but it’s a one way street. For humans it’s presumptions to assign a name to G-d. it implies an understanding that can’t exist.

Based on Microsoft's ever-more-fetid output over the last two decades, they can't sell self-respecting people jack squat.

lol thats actually funny and kinda spot on. some of my coworkers regularly move goal posts to double down on windows in the face of microsoft doing absurdly hostile shit and it feels like watching some kinda stockholm syndrome. i sort of get it like many i was born and raised in a windows computer household and it wasnt until i dunno 7 years ago or so i started dinking with other stuff, i think if i try to remember h…

You haven't listed the competing company that does not make one feel "some kinda stockholm syndrome".
