I think the term artificial intelligence is incorrect. What we're currently building is, IMO, artificial intellect. I view intelligence as the capacity to use resources, including the intellect, wisely and creatively. The current syste

Waze was the obvious acquisition, because the Map editor is well done and accessible on the web, the community is very active and Apple even used their data, but Google was smarter and acquired them. Apple Maps is limited to Macs and iDevic

Funny thing is; that's true! I always park my car there because it's empty and I don't mind walking.

I'd say for most folks in North-America, a car like the Volt makes more sense than a purely electric vehicle like the Bolt. 50 miles range on all-electric power and then the gas generator kicks in. No range anxiety, no long wait time a

Chevy Volt could be a great option. One of my coworker has a first gen model and while the autonomy on battery is not that great, gas consumption is low a 3L/100 km.

Jeans with a percentage of elastane are really comfortable.

You should try denim with elastane. I bought a cheap pair from Old Navy and they're really comfortable, almost like wearing sweat pants.

I'd say 5 different pairs is overkill. I'd go with 3. Who will really notice if you wear your dark jeans two days in a row? I mean, who cares?

A cultural change is also necessary. Our civilization is divided and weak, because we still have a tribal mentality that prevent us from looking at the bigger picture. We still think in terms of "us" and "them" and who w

Didn't last very long, unfortunately. I think it's because the average consumer doesn't even know what Android is and a lot of folks buy their phone at their carrier's store. In other words, there wasn't enough peop

What I meant was phones from LG, HTC, Samsung shipping with Android without customization and updated directly by Google. Also, the possibility to install this "Pure Edition" if your phone didn't shipped with it would be grea

A "Signature Edition" of Android would be interesting.

We're what, 7 billion people on this planet? The environment is getting trashed, the climate is changing, the resources are diminishing. Governments will struggle to provide services to the population. It won't be pretty and the r

iOS updates are pushed directly by Apple. There's also "carrier updates", which I believe are also pushed by Apple, that update network settings and enables certain features when the carrier support them (VoLTE, Wifi-Callin

If I'm not mistaken, the sound loops and jingles in Garageband are royalty free.

You explained it better than I did. "Skills" is really the key word, here. For example, a man could tell the AI assistant that he wants to send flowers to his wife at her office for her birthday. The florists in the area could sim

Absolutely. Progressive web apps are great for this, but like I mentioned, chatbots and AI assistants are emerging. That doesn't mean the web is dead, but if more and more people are using chatbots and assistants like Alexa to do stuff

Right now, if you want to order concert tickets or pay your parking meter, you need specific dedicated apps. The result of this is rows and rows of single-purpose apps "silos" on you phone, having to create an account and entering

That is why I said years ago that Firefox OS should have competed against ChromeOS, not Android and iOS.

Again, you're talking like the Linux fanboys I've been hearing for years: "Vista is total crap, it's only a matter of time before Linux takes over" , "Windows 8 is a disaster, this is the year of Linux on the

It's great to see something like this because ethical banking is definitely necessary if we want a future that is desirable.

I won't tell you what you should or shouldn't do. I will, however, tell you that Apple and Google won the mobile OS game and both of them are working on the next big thing: AI.

These companies want to lock you in. It's that simple.

I heard the same thing about desktop Linux for years. 200 distros later, guess what, Windows is still king and Apple is still selling boatloads of pricey machines.

Building something lasting takes resources. Canonical simply had no chance. Even Microsoft, despite their aquisition of Nokia, their marketing budget, their massive dev resources, is failing on mobile. They even have their own convergence f

What is money, really? Money, today, is not in sync with a world made of matter and with the needs of a changing world. Your city needs to build a new bridge, a subway station or a new hospital? It has the engineers, the architects, the wor

It's something Chrome does by default when you browse a site in a language that is different from your system's. My OS is set to French and Chrome ask me to translate English webpages in French.
