Bringing Digital Assistants to the Masses However, while the integration of the digital assistant will be a selling point for some, it will be a vital starting point for others. Many don’t care enough about AI to buy a dedicated smart speaker, especially if they lean towards headphones for music. TVs, on the other hand, feature in every home and are present in the most communal space. If they aren’t sitting at a desk or with a laptop, most people are watching TV, so it’s a natural extension....

Ok, I promise you I am doing the math, but if it’s wrong don’t shoot the messenger, shoot Google. With $1.1 million lost every 60 seconds, that totals $66 million every hour and 1.584 billion every day. I was going to calculate for week, month, and year. However, I think we can all agree the number is ridiculous. RiskIQ used its own research combined with data from third-parties to assess the level of cost around cybercrime....

Though Microsoft’ Azure is in second place, Gartner pegs AWS as a clear leader. It notes that enterprises make larger annual financial commitments to Azure and deploy more mission-critical workloads. “AWS is the most mature, enterprise-ready provider, with the strongest track record of customer success and the most useful partner ecosystem,” said Gartner. “Thus, it is the provider chosen by not only customers that value innovation and that are implementing digital business projects, but also preferred by customers that are migrating traditional data centers to cloud IaaS....

Google has moved Javier Soltero from its G Suite division to become the head of all messaging products. Former Microsoft employee Soltero joined Google last year. He already has experience with Google’s messaging services because Meet and Chat are part of G Suite. However, in his new role, Soltero will take the helm of all Google messaging services under a unified division. It is worth pointing out the reshuffle does not mean Google has plans to unify its messaging services....

As a result, it makes sense to push notifications directly to Microsoft’s dedicated hub, and Google finally agrees. A feature request was posted by users way back in 2015, but the company has been reluctant to act on it. Initially, the browser team decided on Chrome notifications, saying the ability to take actions from them was essential. At the time, many users pointed out that Windows 10 notifications are in fact actionable, and Google began working on a prototype in last year....

Its own engine will always be available, of course, and DuckDuckGo will be offered universally.

Also featuring in some countries is GMX, a subsidiary of United Internet, and privacy-focused search engines Qwant and Privacy Wall....

The so-called ‘soft sensor’ is made of a non-toxic, highly conductive liquid that’s more suitable for everyday use. This is particularly important given one of the device’s intended functions – monitoring sick children. “Children born prematurely often develop neuromotor and cognitive developmental disabilities,” explained Harvard’s Leah Burrows. “The best way to reduce the impacts of those disabilities is to catch them early through a series of cognitive and motor tests....

After some additional investigation from Computerworld, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that files are deleted. Not hidden, not in the recycle bin, simply gone. Thankfully, as most IT professionals will know, deleted rarely means unrecoverable. First, though, be aware that this issue appears to affect only manual downloads of the October 2018 update.

Online Learning Material Means Active Engagement If you want to make a student an active learner, you must give them the ability to research and have course material available. Not only that, constant feedback is a must to motivate students and provide them with time to reflect. If they have interactive software, they can focus better on a subject.
