Today, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are placing large bets on advanced AI, ubiquitous assistants, and voice interfaces, hoping that these will become the next thing that our devices are for.
If they’re right — and that’s a big “if” — I’m worried for Apple.
A very astute piece from Marco. In my opinion Google is right in their position on Artificial Intelligence but wrong in their stance on privacy. Apple is also notoriously secretive and so may well be working on similar technologies behind the scenes, indeed they have hinted at that in the past. At the end of the day though, I just don’t see Apple being blindsided by AI in the same way Blackberry was by the iPhone.
Apple releases new iTunes version with slightly improved design.
In my opinion, overall, this layout is simpler, it’s easier for people to find what they’re looking for. It comes at the expense of some sticking points, such as replacing the individual buttons for media selection with a drop down menu and some options being moved to the menu bar. But design, as life is a series of compromises. Visually, I slightly prefer the previous version, however this one is easier to navigate, thus addressing one of the key concerns of new users.
