Siri under Apl is a joke when compared to other Ai's, Apl literally bought Siri and made it much worse. In general services/anything beyond devices is not a strong suit for Apl..in fact there was a time iCloud was hosted on Azure.
Just realize a device can only do so much, it shows. For Apl itself, this is evidenced in poor services when compared to rest.

I hope so, because SIRI seems to be getting crappier with every release. I find it basically useless these days.
Does this mean your comment counts as one? /S
Yes, Siri needs revamping. But with all these recent rumors, I defintely think the changes are coming. Siri has a lot of potential, it just needs tweaking in certain area's.
Apple's putting together an army of advanced AI robots to takedown the Death Star in Redmond. You know, the company that brainwashes people into buying PCs that run Windows...
I love the job market here, but housing is becoming extremely unaffordable. King County's Growth Management Act should be called the "growth choking act" because as a matter of policy and law we cannot grow housing fast enough to make room for all these great jobs.
I live in a 1000 sqft 2-bedroom home--a starter home by most definitions. It's now $400,000. The way prices are skyrocketing, I will never be able to afford anything larger. Heck if I had to buy my house today, I wouldn't be able to afford to buy my own home.
Unaffordable housing means everyone has to live far from their jobs and commute in. End result? 4th worst traffic in the country.
The bright spot to all this is that by the time I retire, my house will be worth a billion dollars. I could sell it, buy half of Montana, and spend my retirement days in a cozy 5,000,000 sqft cabin on a river.

Like Fortune 500 companies? Microsoft Build 2016 had announced that 85% of Fortune 500 use Azure over 30 unique Azure regions (more than Google,Apl and Amazon Web Services combined + half of IBM footprint).
In 2017 let's check...
Microsoft Azure will now have 13 Asian Azure regions and 34 total across the world,
IBM 21 BlueMix data center regions
AWS has 16 availability zones
Google has 6 current data center regions
Apl 1 data center region
"takedown the Death Star in Redmond." LOL dream on
I think its less "brainwashing" and more companies like to get stuff done and compete.

Totally agree. I live in Clyde Hill and bought my home for $600,000 or so in 1998. Worth about $1.6m now mostly for the land. They just tore down my neighbors home and are going to list the newly built one for $6 million. I'm not complaining because I am sitting on some good equity but I would never be able to afford my home now and my taxes are going up fast. There is a LOT of money in Seattle.
Columbia City here and the new townhouses that are going up. . . 600k without batting and eye. It's crazy, yeah?
Yes, sure. I think it's all in the pipeline
Pipeline must be be able to house a small moon by now
Except if a lawyer or doctor negligently breeches their respective client or patient confidentiality they lose their license to practice and also open themselves up to being sued personally. They can be financially ruined for life.
If a hacker busts into a cloud account the professional or legal risk to the storage company is much more of an embarrassment than an existential event. There are data breeches of big companies all the time -- Yahoo has suffered 3 just recently. It suffered a cut in the value VZW offered to pay for it but it didn't put them out of business. In the past two years there have been data breeches of health insurance companies, credit card processors, the IRS!. Linkedin has been hacked as has Dropbox. None of these organizations suffered in the way and attorney or doctor would if their systems were hacked or paper files stolen.
You only have to do one Google search to find out that pretty much every company run by humans is a leaky endevour.

So in the end, trusting one more than the other is nothing but tinfoil hats and false assumptions. I'm sorry if I put too much emphasis on the individuals - what I guess I'm trying to say is that no practice or institution is more "holy" than others.
Yes. my point is only a few professions -- medical, legal, clergy, have specific and legal obilgations and take oaths to keep respective patients, clients, paritioners informations secret, even to courts. The basis for this is that the "client" must have trust in the doctor, lawyer, clergy to be open enough to that the professional can best serve them. It is not "tin foil" as you say. I am an attorney and client/lawyer confidentiality is the platform of the profession. Without it our clients could not be adequately served. Attorney's that violate this tenant are quickly drumed out of the bar. That is not the case for other major rule violations.
