Apple Search Engine

Apple is launching search engine to destroy Google — and you’re already using it

GOOGLE GRINDS, APPLE SHINES
While Google is grinding users down with 90% of search results generating ad links (10 of 11), Apple is building a search engine in plain sight called “Spotlight.”
Spotlight is what happens on your desktop when you hit COMMAND-SPACE or on your phone when you hit “slide down” when on your home screen.







You can see here, when you search for “Weather Cupertino” it gives you the result with no advertisements, no Google logo — nothing but content.
On your mobile phone they will show you Wikipedia pages, App Store links and more — without any ads.
Every time Apple hosts their World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) they add a couple of features to Spotlight. The big update came yesterday, with “deep link searching in apps.” Here they show folks searching for “how to make chocolate cake” and subsequently dumping users into the Yummy App.
No. Google. Necessary.
In fact, Apple added the ability to do basic math in the search bar — something Google added back in 2008.





Tim Cook is slowly getting revenge on Google on behalf of Steve Jobs — without doing it directly. When Jobs found out that Google was secretly going to compete with the iPhone he reportedly said:
“We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s bullshit.”
So, Tim Cook is playing the slow revenge game, by going into the search business. At this pace, I could see Apple knocking 10 points off Google’s search business here in the USA in the next couple of years by simply making search an advertising-free piece of Apple’s OPERATING SYSTEM!
At the WWDC, Apple made a point of saying that they don’t store or use your personal information. This slide is the “f$&k Google” slide, a straight kick in the nuts of Google’s absurd privacy practices, which include searching through our emails and tracking every behavior we make online.
Tim Cook is suggesting a better path for users: Apple will give you the ability to search for “free,” as in ad-free and data-collection-free.
Apple is leapfrogging Google by making search something that is built into the core of your mobile phone and desktop. The reason to do this is that you can compress time by removing the need to visit a website like Google.com.
However, don’t be surprised if Apple gives spotlight.com $10m for their domain name and makes a web-based search engine as a final F-U to Google.
In fact, the power move for Apple would be to buy DuckDuckGoand use their excellent web search as backfill to the powerful “One Box” search innovations they keep launching every couple of months.

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of  10 free call apps  to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks With $149 Windows 10 Laptops Despite a lacklustre start, Chromebooks are becoming relatively popular in the super-budget end of the portable market. This has worried Microsoft for some time. After all, with a Google-centric experience, not to mention an operating system in the form of Chrome OS, there’s little if anything to be gained here by Microsoft and everything to lose. That’s why it’s targeting the Chromebook specifically, with a most likely Windows 10-based  $149 laptop. They’re no MacBook killers and don’t expect them to play GTA V, though  (when it finally makes a PC appearance that is). According to tech rumour site www.Digitimes.com , these laptops are geared primarily towards emerging markets, education and the super-low end market, which includes users whose tasks are limited to web browsing, word processing and social media use. The Chromebook has gained traction in quite a few areas and Micros...

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
