That applies to “non-compete” clauses, but not to non disclosure clauses, which are still quite common.
"Many believe Siri has serious shortcomings in comparison to AI offerings from other companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google due to Apple's heavy focus on privacy."
Really? Only many? How about the whole tech community, and any one who has used siri.
This is the problem: Apple fanboys not recognizing there is a problem and defending Tim useless Cook till the end. I honestly thank everyone on here who has criticizes Apple, who had the intelligence and fortitude on here to say, "wait a minute, why does my Siri suck"
Apple is changing course, hiring more people, and investing in Siri. I HONESTLY believe Tim would not have done that if there wasn't an outcry from people saying "not good enough Apple".
I'm honestly so sick of hearing, "But Tim has increased profits!" Yes yes he has. Except Apple products are at an all time high premium, and sure don't have premium features anymore!
Anyways, how about them Mac Pros

I really don’t think it would surprise me if Apple did build their own search engine, irrespective of the Giannandrea hire. I’d have to think about it some more.
Sure, lots of us have clauses that preclude us from jumping to a competitor -- but they have time limits...mine is a year.

Every engineer worth her salt will do things differently/better on a subsequent rewrite -- its what we do.

yup, how it works here as well.
Lol, you do know what company your talking about, anything new is only for the latest hardware, even if technically it can run on the last gen device.. we have already seen this many times. How do you think Apple makes money, they make you upgrade every year.
Hey Tim, where's all your user data?
Tim: We don't have any. That's our selling point.
Google Dude: so how am I suppose to build an A I data base and get this going for you?
I’m amongst a world wide crowd that really doesn’t want a listening and recording device called Google in my home, on my phone, in my computer, in my life - period. I’m serious.
So I’m cool with Siri’s lagging. Those of you Echo lovers - enjoy being recorded taking a .... because you’ll be buying that roll of toilet paper Amazon Ad’ed you to death for

I’m hopeful this is great news!!
I tried Siri on my Apple Watch today and was constantly disappointed.

I thought Alphabet, Amazon and Facebook were in the same ballpark when it comes to user data and privacy?

What do you mean?
They've been hiring people to improve Siri for the last few years but she seems mostly the same.
A while ago the big tech companies got in a lot of trouble for secretly agreeing not to poach each other’s employees.
It's kind of like many here saying Federighi would be a good CEO because he has engaging stage presence and nice hair. SMH...

Non-compete clauses and the like are invalid/unenforceable in California, as they should be, since they're unconscionable.

If it's a corporate secret, then that is illegal, otherwise what's the problem? What's crazy is the idea that a company can stop you from earning a living while not paying you a living.
California banned them.

She's got that special sauce that Steve Jobs had.
There's no such law in the US and it will be illegal for any company to engage in non-compete agreements with another company. Here's a good article on the subject:

This won’t just help Siri. Searching for something on an Apple device can often be frustrating. E.g. searching for names in your Contacts app yields the most bizarre results, with the literal name/word you typed in often appearing 5th or 7th in the results list. And if you mistype a word while searching in Music or on Apple TV, good luck. It’s super literal.
Been waiting for search on Apple gear to get better for a while, so this is a welcomed hire.

One guy from Google isn't going to fix Siri overnight. Will take forever, but I'd bet he's being paid handsomely. Lots of catching up to do...hope he's up to the task.
