Singularity: Kurzweil expects intelligent computers as humans within 12 years.

April 6 2017

According to futurologist and Google chief engineer Ray Kurzweil, the singularity is approaching by leaps and bounds. “By 2029, computers will have the same level of intelligence as humans.” This is the statement made in a recent interview at the SXSW Conference. What is the singularity? (It is always good to remember this) It is a process-event that will bring the intelligence of computers to a higher level than that of human beings. And according to leading experts on the subject it seems to be getting closer over time. Even the theoretical physicist Stephen… Read more

Exactly #10 years ago, Steve Jobs presented the first #iPhone to the world: a different type of mobile phone, which then paved the way for all those who came after. On January 9, ten years ago, Jobs said, presenting his cell phone: "We have reinvented the telephone." There was no longer a keyboard, but a touchscreen to touch with your finger. Apps arrived for the first time and the Internet was in your pocket, available to everyone and at any time. In 2007 less… Read more

December 21 2016

After a year of hard work, Mark Zuckerberg has revealed to the world some details of the #artificial intelligence #Jarvis, a personal assistant for the home that the founder of #Facebook had wanted to develop as a "personal challenge". Mark, pleasantly, gave the AI the name of Iron Man's butler, and integrated it into the home automation system of his house. Jarvis does everything, or almost everything: it independently manages lights, temperature, appliances, music from both PCs and mobile devices and much more. Jarvis can be commanded with… Read more

According to many, this is still a negligible amount, yet #YouTube claimed to have poured a billion dollars into the coffers of the music industry. The problem of how to listen to #music today, of how to make it available to everyone but at the same time make those who listen to it pay for it, is always present. Spotify and Apple Music have chosen a middle ground: free for everyone, but with advertising, or paid without advertising. And the results are visible. YouTube, on the other hand,… Read more

Apple will erase the bad words

April 8 2016

Strange but true. Apple has patented software capable of "erasing", or rather censoring, swear words from songs. There will be a lot of work to be done on some modern artists. It seems like a joke, but the patent request is authentic: it was filed over a year ago, it has a code (Application #20160093316) and a name («US Patent Application for Management, Replacement and Removal of Explicit Lyrics during Audio Playback Patent Application»). Furthermore, in the United States, songs often had two versions: one... Read more

And Google goes on TV

November 5, 2022October 7, 2013

Days ago, in the long wake of the farewell to Steve Jobs and while waiting for his biography, many experts discussed Apple's strategies in the communications sector, indicating how Cupertino was ready (or almost) to revolutionize, after music and telephony, also the television market. Jobs' death has not slowed down the plans of an Apple TV ready to provide content and services by exploiting its distribution channels (iTunes) and simple and successful interfaces (aiming to eliminate the ...

July 15 2013July 15 2013

More than a novelty in the Bravo range or at Fiat, today we are talking about an offer that Lingotto offers (and in times of crisis the offers are very useful) for the dual fuel version, LPG version of the Bravo; the possibility of having the car at an advantageous price, complete with financing, insurance and without a down payment. For those who don't know it yet, the Fiat Bravo Mylife is equipped with a 1.4 HP 90 EasyPower engine and, as for the ... Read more

#WeLikeMusic, or 'how sonic passion became social'

November 5, 2022April 23 2013

We have seen a lot of it in the last 15 years: the Internet has gradually increased its reach, overwhelming many aspects of entertainment, from films to video games, through conversations and music. At first the major record industry tried to oppose its resistance based on the (albeit legitimate) protection of copyright and 'canonical' distribution systems; then the Napster cyclone (followed by P2Ps, led by Emule, Torrents and other systems based on sharing...

Hitachi develops crystal storage media

October 23, 2013October 24, 2012

Chopin and the Beatles teach us that things like good music can last a very long time: from tomorrow they could be preserved forever thanks to more stable and long-lasting memories. From the advent of the information age onwards, the most pressing problem of the industry (and of people) has been to protect an increasingly large amount of data, to save them from the wear and tear of time and their own 'volatility'. Locking paper photos in a safe means guaranteeing them a long life, but closing ... Read more

Bang & Olufsen hits Encore

November 5, 2022November 11, 2011

(sponsored article) Multipurpose environments and intelligent spaces await us in the near future to pamper us and meet the needs of a presumably more stressed population: the 'show down' will travel in the opposite direction to disorder: it seems classic but one can expect rooms increasingly essential, elegant, capable of calming the soul and transmitting serenity and harmony. Speaking of harmony: what will happen to music? A factor that has been important to humans for thousands of years will not be overlooked tomorrow either: ... Read more

Bodymetrics launches Body Mapping: a scanner will dress us.

July 10 2013July 4 2011

London-based company Bodymetrics has joined forces with PrimeSense to develop a 3D scanner capable of 'mapping' a human body to give it instant advice on the fit of a suit: this "Body Mapping" platform uses special sensors to take measurements of a user and create an exact replica. The system then connects to a database of manufacturers to 'apply' to the scanned body the clothes that best suit (in terms of design and size) the body of the ... Read more

November 12, 2019March 22 2011

The rumors in the IT world make it almost certain: Sony is working on a tablet with a strong vocation for games, capable of countering the primacy of the iPad in the sector.
