I do like Apple, but they're legitimately out of their mind when it comes to multi-media performance. :wacko:

Same, I thi k they have always been behind the times hardware wise, but IMO how their OS handles it more then makes up for it

is it just me or did the iPhone's that they used in the keynote look LONGER to you guys? Especially the one in the car where it showed the Ford Sync type stuff

I agree, they seemed like they had extra vertical space in the screenshots.

Na looked normal, I would defiantly think if it was longer it would be announced at its own conference instead of Developer talks. As that would be a whole new phone

I thought the keynote was great I didn't think it was a letdown. They updated a whole lot of stuff many things like the new Mac Pro and Airport Express they didn't even have time to mention but we didn't need to wait for it. I thought it was a great event.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is they seem to have axed the 17" MacBook Pro. Not only did it not get updated but they've removed it from the store entirely you can't even order the old model anymore. As someone that has purchased two 17" MacBook Pros in the past 6 years I'm saddened to see it go. I hold out hope they will yet release one but right now there is nothing to indicate that and I don't think they will do it. I guess I'll have to step down to a 15" Next Generation MacBook Pro soon. I'll make my mind up by the end of the year I suppose.

Was I the only one that thought when they said they had the biggest database of Credit Card Information, that they were just painting a huge Target on their head?

They've made this statement about two times previously at other Apple events.

What a disappointment that was.

My Android phone has had turn by turn, do not disturb, cloud browser syncing, message on call rejection and most of the other announced features for years.

Apple really has fallen from grace.

From what I read a couple days ago, Google has been limiting turn by turn from iOS for a while now, it's one of the reasons Apple had to go with their Inhouse Maps. And obviously android has had it, it's Googles Mobile OS.

But I do agree with the rest. I wouldn't say fall from grace, as their crap will sell regardless, but I will say Behind The Times in a LOT of areas

A bit off topic but for me MIUI android rom has everything a smartphone needs with really well designed graphics and general ui way better than the iphone.

A feature to reply with message if you don't want to answer the call? MIUI has that since gingerbread releases and with really smart and nice ui implementation.

That's surprising, I think they have their own app w/in app purchases, would think this would canabalize that

Although they have mapping companies like C3 Technologies and others they don't really have a company that is dedicated to turn by turn GPS. So I'm guessing Tom Tom is providing data in that regard to assist in creating correct and efficient routes between the different places so that it doesn't tell you to drive the wrong way down a one way street or something like that. Also I think they are using Tom Toms live traffic network which all the new high end Tom Toms have built in which reports congestion automatically to Tom Toms servers which then is downloaded by other Tom Toms.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
