Dag Kittlaus, Who Previously co-founded Siri, Discusses His New Company Viv and Advances in Artificial Intelligence

This is a very interesting interview of Dag Kittlaus by Charlie Rose.
Dag explains the background and history of how he first co-founded Siri and how Apple purchased his company. He mentions his meetings with Steve Jobs and what Steve said to him. Dag also describes his vision for his new company Viv.
He is a top expert in the world in this field and I am  happy Charlie Rose is interviewing him. You can learn the about the future of technology and artificial intelligence from people like Dag Kittlaus.
I disagree with Dag on one small issue, sometimes it is better to not use a voice interface. It is better to offer users the choice of using voice recognition or phone pad, or keyboard. Online ordering of prescriptions from Kaiser Permanente changed over to voice recognition and it is much better and faster for this application to use the phone keypad instead of voice recognition.

Russian President Putin says who hacked the DNC provided a service to the public, however it was not the Russian government as the USA government claims.

Tom Uglow: An Internet Without Screens Might Look Like This

This is a very interesting video and I think some of this gentleman's design ideas are brilliant, plus he has a good name.
So if you watch this and then watch Dr. Kleinrock (1 of 4 fathers of the Internet), then look at my software product for online password management, you will see how I worked with Ariel my Chief Software Architect to implement some of these design ideas into our software. There is no right or wrong in design, just personal preferences. If we make the correct design choices hopefully the people of the world will like our software products. A good design is liked by the majority of people, e.g. when the first Apple ipod and iphone came out, people all over the planet loved the design.
We offer a one year free license with a very cool Google Chrome plugin that safely remembers all your logins and passwords.
It is funny because Mr. Uglow mentions the concept of a "fork" in his presentation, and I agree with him. Too many products especially software products try to do "too much", then they are no longer simple to use like a fork.
I thought of a great picture to demonstrate exactly what I mean in design. The picture below is a fantastic product that is wonderful to use if you are going camping. Also if you make a spreadsheet check box of features this will win over a fork. This is how I feel big "online reviewers" like, cnet, pcworld, etc. approach reviewing software products on the market today.
The truth is 99% of the time I need and want to use a product with less features that is safer and easier to use (e.g. a fork).
More software features and integrated multiple applications does lead to more doorways for hackers to break in.

Siddhatha Mukherjee Interview - Pulitzer Prize-winning Writer and Physician - "The Gene: An Intimate History"

Siddhatha Mukherjee is one of the most intelligent people I know of and he is helping the world with his scientific research and writing.
One fact that is very interesting to me is how Siddhatha can be genius like, when he has a long history of mental illness and schizophrenia in his family.
How can the same family genes cause genius or schizophrenia?

Selling Buying Renting a Home, Then Zillow is a Fantastic Place to Start Your House Selling or Buying Efforts, I Give Zillow 4 Stars out of 5 Stars

Update on my Zillow Article:

I wrote an article about trying to sell my house on Zillow and now I found some very interesting information.
Somehow there are two different versions of my house on Zillow. One has a totally incorrect Zestimate and one has a Zestimate that is $78,000 more. Yes that is correct and the screen shot is below. Please click on the graphic and it will take you to the same house for sale with a totally incorrect Zestimate.
Zillow please fix this.

I am Not Censored in Communist China, However Google Censors Me and Bans My Content

Update: Google indexed this webpage on 8-2-16.

However this page from 7-29-16 is still censored and banned by Google:
GotoTom2.blogspot.com/2016/07/i-wish-i-could-bet-google-1000000-i.html

Perhaps Google should just write in their guidelines that if you criticize Google your content will be penalized, banned and censored.
Every time Google does this to me I wonder how many other people Google is unfairly penalizing, prohibiting their content and censoring?
Also Google does not want communist China censoring their content, however Google thinks it is okay to censor me.

Please see in the screen shots below how my content is in the China search engine Biadu.com, yet not in the Google search engine.

If you want to read the Google forbidden and prohibited content then GotoTom and read what Google does not want you to see.

Also Bing Does not censor my content, only Google Does.

How and Why "the Sharing Economy" is Really "Crowd-Based Capitalism" - Arun Sundararajan, Brad Hargreaves, Rana Foroohar

I was in Amsterdam last summer and was in a taxi asking the driver what he thinks about Uber. The Dutch are very good at inventing and figuring out how to make life run smoother and with less hassles. They invented the telescope, the incubator, binoculars and the best orange juice squeezing machine, etc.
The taxis in Amsterdam work for both taxi companies and Uber (interview with Travis Kalanick the co-founder). In Paris the taxi drivers burn down the streets protesting Uber. This is a good example of what I mean by my statements above. Also it seems funny to me since the idea for Uber was conceived in Paris.
The Dutch taxi driver asked me a good question:
Why did I not invent Uber?

I asked him what will happen in Paris when Uber starts using autonomous cars instead of drivers?

The following video discusses these topics with experts and is very interesting.
