22 | Don't look now, but Microsoft's Cortana virtual assistant is getting smarter -- and could get a lot more popular by rolling out to iOS and Android. | http://www.zdnet.com/article/cortana-getting-more-capabilities-this-fall-coming-to-ios-and-android-next/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | Author and tech columnist Ed Bott joins us now. Q: The Reuters interview that revealed Cortana's extension to the iOS and Android platforms was vague about the big question, which is when this might happen. But when it does happen, can Microsoft expect fair treatment on either platform -- for example given similar access to apps and system events that Apple gives Siri and that Google gives Google Now? Q: What is project Einstein? Q: Are there any other Cortana improvements coming that you know about? Q: Do you see Microsoft ever releasing a stand-alone speaker product like Amazon's Echo? Q: There's some evidence that Cortana may be integrated into the Spartan browser. Do we know what this integration will look like? | Ed Bott Author, tech journalist @edbottg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

60 | Mashable is reporting that Twitter is launching what the article says is a "bold TV experiment" that "could change the face of second-screen viewing." It's called Twitter TV Timelines. The publication got early access to to it, and they say the concept is simple. When Twitter sees you using a TV-related hashtag from one of their test shows -- American Idol, Big Bang Theory, @Midnight and The Blacklist -- a notice pops up on your iPhone Twitter timeline and invites you to try Twitter TV Timelines. If you accept, you get a special interface. The custom view lets you follow Twitter chatter on the show, and also see media related to the show, including pictures, videos and Vines. * * * | http://mashable.com/2015/03/12/twitter-experiment-tv-timelines/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

64 | Google has accidentally leaked the personal information of more than 280,000 {Google Apps for work} customers. The problem first popped up in mid 2013, but only recently found and fixed. People have been exposed for nearly two years. The glitch was identified by security researchers at Cisco. It affects only those using the registrar eNom with their Google Apps sites. Some 94% of the website owners who opted into eNom's "WHOIS privacy protection" feature didn't get that protection and their details were publicly listed. A flaw in Google's code revealed all that information. Google released the following statement: "A security researcher recently reported a defect via our Vulnerability Rewards Program affecting Google Apps’ integration with the Enom domain registration API. We identified the root cause, made the appropriate fixes, and we're communicating with affected Apps customers. We apologize for any issues this may have caused." | http://blogs.cisco.com/security/talos/whoisdisclosure | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well now Swarm is getting a new feature: private messaging, which replaces text messaging, Facebook messaging and calling. They also eliminated the Plans tab, where you used to be able to propose ideas to friends about where to go and what to do. The new private messaging feature eliminates the shame of being turned down in front of everyone. Now you can get turned down privately. * * * | http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/12/swarm-launches-direct-messaging-ditches-awkward-public-plans/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

149 | Paul Franz Will I think about buying a $10,000 Apple Watch? No. But the Apple Watch Edition is not targeted at me. It is targeted at a totally different demographic. It is for a market where there is prestige in owning a $10,000 watch. A market that would never wear a $700 watch whether it is a smart watch or not. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
150 | Gregory Dudek Regarding the price:what abandonment of the "computer for the rest of us mantra".I could afford it, but am disgusted. It is far beyond silly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
151 | Frank White I was amused during today’s TNT as you read the letter from the listener chastising you for “not knowing” if $17,000 for an Apple watch is a lot of money or not. The Apple watch isn’t a technology product. It IS a piece of jewelry that happens to contain a tiny computer, just as a Rolex is a piece of jewelry that happens to contain a precise mechanical movement. So, I think you nailed it. In a market where a stainless Rolex Daytona runs $12-15K (oh, and the platinum goes for over $50K), the gold Apple watch looks like a relative bargain. If you’re ever in Kansas pop by, we make a great steak! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
152 | Sam Cook I have use a Chromebook exclusively since 2011. I run a small nonprofit in Kansas City. My Chromebook is what I use to do: all grant writing with Docs and occasionally Office 365; communications with ringcentral, google inbox, and hangouts; and organization of all materials for planning, my board, and my life with Evernote. I truly see no reason to have any other computer. When I hear someone say negative things about a Chromebook, I know they have not used one for any length of time. Thanks and I love the show. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
