That’s a reason? Perhaps. However, it remains to be seen. It certainly was not the first.

Actually, MS has been the leader in voice recognition long before Apple had Siri. But Cortana has been proven to be much, much more sophisticated at this point in time.

Wrong! I really don’t want a machine making decisions on where I want to go on the Internet.

Your machine already does this when you do a search. If it doesn't, then YOU are out of date.

Gimmicky and we will see how fast it get’s cracked by photography.

The MS facial recognition has been proven valid for prevention of using photographs already. It is far more sophisticated than the poorly implemented fingerprint login used by Apple that pales in comparison to that used by Lenovo for over a decade.

How is this a Windows 10 feature?

If you did not see it, Continuum allows you to connect your mobile phone to a display, keyboard and mouse and use it as a PC. Since the mobile device runs Windows 10, it will switch from mobile to desktop mode and you can edit PowerPoint, Word, Excel, etc just using the processor in your phone. It is an impressive convergence. You should check it out. Search MS Continuum.

Apple's now superceded iPhoto has been doing accurate facial recognition for years. . . and Apple's fingerprint recognition is state of the art and actually has not been breached except by using equipment that costs thousands of dollars. In fact, Apple's really doesn't use the finger print, but uses the subcutaneous ridges under the fingerprint. Lenovo's has been compromised. . . and the competition has been trying to copy Apple's system and cannot due to patents. Sorry, you are just wrong about that.

Most search engines have been doing that for years. . . but what is implied by this article is more than that and has nothing to do with searches. I don't particularly want any search histories kept on places I might have gone but did not, based on a computer algorithm's estimates on what I might want to see. . . when it may not be what I really would want to see. Sorry, I do not want anything pre-loaded in my browser caches before I make any decision about where I am going to go.

Don’t bother feeding Swordmaker ,, if AAPL makes it he loves it ,, if anyone else makes something it’s trash or stolen from AAPL ,, If AAPL later copies something created by another company then it becomes MARVELOUSLY INNOVATIVE.
