Ian from Microsoft Whiteboard here. Ink to shape and ink to table are two early examples of how we're infusing intelligence into the Whiteboard's canvas. We want to start showing people the power of the pen (or your finger/mo

Ian from Microsoft Whiteboard here. The other thing I'll note is we see a general trend of most information workers jobs in the next few years calling for more creative work, so the need for these type of solutions will continue to gro

1. This is really well done, especially since it says it was done in realtime. Nice work! 2. I'd love to see notes like this done for more conferences. I'm not sure if it'd be best as a startup that works with conference organizers, or if t

Overall, it may be very telling that Apple labeled Siri as "Beta" because it could very well be that most of the above could still come true in months and years to come. Apple invested $200 million to purchase Siri, and most, if not all, of

I wrote a post last night ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3069745 ) analyzing Tom Gruber, Siri's Co-Founder, CTO, and VP of Design, original Siri keynote in 2008. The post got pretty popular on HN and I had 5 key questions/predictions

Interesting concept, I never even considered Apple offering additional Assistant features as a premium service. Imagine if you paid an additional $4.99 a month through iTunes for a Assistant Pro app that had greater power. Would you pay for

by IanMikutel 15y ago
Amen brother. Honestly, as I said in the post, I truly believe this could be a new natural user interface. Just as touch interfaces have been all the rage in the tech world since made mainstream in the first iPhone in 2007, Assistant will b

On desktops, maybe. But on mobile devices, Google is just as slow as your connection. Imagine if Apple built in some Amazon Silk-like ties between Assistant and iCloud? Or if they do some local caching or if Sprint really does have this exc

I feel like you could have made the same statement about the CRAZY idea of a touchscreen smart phone back in 2007...and then Steve Jobs showed off the iPhone and everyone went...well I guess that does work flawlessly. Not trying to sound li

Actually Siri is based off arguably more time, research and possibly funding than Google may have thrown at this particular problem. As I quoted from 9to5mac in my post: "In 2003, the US Government began the most ambitious Artificial Intell

Keep in mind everything you saw in the demo video was from 2008! That's 3 years ago, decades in tech. Given the time and resources Apple has undoubtedly provided the team since then, I think we should all be expecting much greater than that

And you could totally see Apple pitching this to AT&T and Verizon and they're going "Crap, people already hate our data caps, and we already hate all the data iPhones use..." and then Sprint's CEO Dan Hesse comes running over to Jobs "S

My goal with this post was simply to raise interesting questions based on what the Siri team saw as the future of the product back in 2008, so it could frame all of our discussion and analysis when you watch the keynote with Apple tomorrow.

Thanks for the analysis on my analysis. :) I can definitely see why you'd think this could go the way of Facetime, but its completely different. Why? Because while Facetime seemed to solve a problem we all wanted solved, in reality its simp

Norman Winarsky, the man who put together the original Siri team, was asked what kind of power the Siri AI takes and if it could have delayed the iPhone today on 9to5mac.com, saying: Norm: I’m not familiar with Apple’s roadmap and any delay
