Hello Everyone
Hello and welcome to my blog. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find what I write interesting and you come back often. ^_^
Whilst most companies are giving their thanks to U.S. Vets today, Mozilla picks Veteran's Day to announce their Firefox Friendship Day. There have been several comments saying how horrible it is of Mozilla to do this, yet they haven't removed the post nor have they put up anything to acknowledge that today (Sunday, Nov. 11) is Veteran's Day. The entire day have gone by, and the only announcement from Mozilla is about their Friendship Day.
Way to take the spotlight away from Vets there Mozilla. Several comments from people angry at you, and you still don't acknowledge your poor choice to declare today a friendship day. Though "event days" is a popular trend on Facebook, you chose the wrong day to do this. There are around 300 non-holiday days you could have chosen, and you chose Veteran's Day? Shameful!
Between Maps and Siri, Apple is totally letting Google win. Here's are some comparisons between Siri and voice search in the Google app.
Since it's introduction in 2007, the iPod touch has been the best iPod around. Not only could you listen to your music and watch videos, but for the first time you could go online and check your email on an iPod. One of the best thing for gym goers came with the 3rd generation iPod touch, Voice Control. Using the supplied earbuds with microphone, you could bring up Voice Control by holding the button on the remote and speak who you wanted to listen to. Example: "Play Billy Joel" and your iPod would start playing without ever having to look at your device or take it out of your pocket. This allowed you to easily change songs whilst on a treadmill or exercise bike. You didn't even need the Internet to do so.
With the 5th generation iPod touch came Siri. Overall Siri is a great tool for quick searches and opening apps with your voice; however there is one problem, and it effects gym goers most of all. Siri requires Internet, even to play songs. All voice commands go directly to the Apple servers, get interpreted, and travel back to your device to execute said command. Since most gyms don't offer Wi-Fi, this renders touch-less music control useless on the iPod touch. If you have an older model, don't throw it away when you update to the 5th generation. That older model will be perfect for when you want to go to the gym.
