Siri features in the iPhone 4S Make Google.??????

CALIFORNIA - sound assistant Siri feature embedded in the iPhone 4S, it makes Google ketar-ketir. Fear itself is felt directly by the chariman Google's Eric Schmidt.

"Apple has launched an entirely new approach to search technology with Siri, job search and voice-based solutions that are built into the iPhone 4S," Schmidt said in a written response to lawmakers released Friday by the Senate antitrust subcommittee of the U.S., as reported by AFP, Monday (7/11/2011).

Siri addition, he also saw the challenges coming from social networks like Facebook, micro-blogging site Twitter and traditional competitors such as Microsoft Bing.

"Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter also allows users to utilize their social networks to find answers to their questions. Therefore, Google's competing with all the methods available for accessing information on the Internet, not just other general search engines," wrote Schmidt.

Researcher: iPhone bug could let hackers steal photos, contacts and send texts

(CNN) -- A bug in Apple's mobile operating system allows hackers to take control of iPhone and iPad apps, using them to steal people's photos, contacts and even send text messages without the device's user knowing about it, according to a notable computer security researcher.
Charlie Miller, a researcher at Accuvant and one of the world's best-known Apple hackers, said Tuesday that the bug proves the Apple App Store isn't as safe as advertised.
"Until now, you could just blindly trust and download as many apps as you wanted and not worry about it," Miller said in an interview with CNN. "But until they fix this, you really should think twice about any apps you're downloading, because they could be malicious."
Miller said he alerted Apple to the bug three weeks ago and the company told him a fix was in the works. Apple did not respond to CNN's request for comment on the apparent security flaw, which Miller explains in detail on YouTube.



He plans to show people how the bug works at an upcoming computer security conference in Taiwan, called SyScan. To date, he has not released details that would allow hackers to take advantage of the apparent security flaw, and he said he has no evidence that hackers have used the hole to manipulate iPhones and iPads.
Miller says he has exposed the bug to prevent a hacker with bad intentions from taking advantage of iPhone and iPad owners.
As thanks for that work, he said, Apple banned him from the iOS developer program for a year.
"I think it's pretty rude," he said. "If you think about what I'm doing -- I'm pointing out a flaw that would affect everybody and that the bad guys could use to install malware (malicious software). And they're not paying me, I'm just doing it to be nice."
He did upload an app, called Instastock, which was armed with this capability, he said. That app only was capable of hurting his own devices, he said, and was uploaded to the App Store to test the bug. "It's not evil or bad or anything," he said. "It never even downloads code and runs it unless I run it." It since has been removed from the App Store.
If hackers found the security flaw, he said, any iOS app could be compromised in a way that malicious code could be installed through the app and onto the device.
"It could grab your address book and ship it off to the bad guy," he said. "It could grab all your photos and ship them off to a bad guy."
That's a big deal for Apple's App Store, he said, since until now, that online marketplace for iPhone and iPad programs had been free of malicious software. Apple checks each app before it's approved for sale at the App Store, which allows the company to keep bugs out.
This hack could take advantage of a flaw in that checking system to compromise any app, Miller said. He said that essentially reduces the App Store's security to that of the Google Android Market, since Google doesn't screen apps in the way Apple does.
But overall, the App Store is still safer than the Android Market, Miller said.
"It's totally just a blip," he said of the security hole. "I'm very happy with the way (Apple has) designed the system to prevent malware. It's really the ideal situation."
He added: "It's a very safe environment except for this. It just shows that you've never completely safe."

Vendor reveals a burgeoning market proposition, with rejuvenating feature phones that have a high functionality, but at a low price.

Samsung Smartphone No. 1

Records of sales is calculated by the International Data Corporation, which is a well-known research firm.

Nokia's lost half of the total market share, has decreased dramatically compared with last quarter.



Of the 28 percent of global smartphone market share they own in the second quarter, now only 14 percent remaining. RIM's market share also suffered a similar blow. Of the 15 percent market share owned by RIM, now ducking to 10%.

Unexpectedly, the previous HTC is at the level of 7 percent, even now climbed to rank the Top 5 with a market share reached 11 percent. Similarly, as proclaimed Techtree, Saturday (05/11/2011).

Black (and Blue) Berry: What's next for RIM?

You don't win anything for fourth place. In the world of smartphones and tablets, investors seem increasingly nervous that BlackBerry maker Research in Motion will not make it to the medals podium.
Competition in the mobile device industry is brutal. Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) and companies running on Google's (GOOG, Fortune 500) Android are winning the biggest raves from consumers and investors. Then there's Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500), which has hitched its operating system wagon to Nokia (NOK) on the hardware side.

That leaves RIM (RIMM) in an unenviable position. Its stock has plunged more than 67% this year. Notable missteps -- including a lengthy global service outage and delays with its newest PlayBook tablet -- are only making things worse.
But has the company been punished enough? At $19 a share, the stock is now trading around book value, which is what a company is worth when you subtract its liabilities from its assets. In theory, it's what a company is worth if it were to be liquidated.
Things aren't going great at RIM. But they're not that bad, right?
Well, let's just say that the RIM bears do have a strong case.
Analysts expect the company's per-share earnings to fall nearly 25% in the fiscal year ending this coming February and to be flat in fiscal 2013. Based on momentum, it won't be a surprise if analysts eventually trim their forecasts further and predict a profit decline for fiscal 2013.
BlackBerry PlayBook price drops to $299
Simply put, RIM needs a device or devices that can excite consumers. It can't just rely on its core "enterprise" market of big businesses. Yes, it still has an impressive list of about 70 million subscribers, but it is losing market share.



According to research and estimates from Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley in Minneapolis, RIM was second in global smartphone market share in 2008. With 16.2% of the customer base, RIM's piece of the pie was behind only Nokia's.
But by the end of next year, Walkley predicts that RIM's market share will have been nearly cut in half, falling to just 8.4%. That would leave RIM trailing new industry leader Samsung, as well as Apple, Nokia and HTC.
That's what scares investors. Even though RIM has actually been adding subscribers over the past few years, because the overall smartphone market has gotten bigger, it is losing share.
Tech stocks are valued on their growth versus their competitors. Treading water -- or worse -- against your rivals won't cut it.

RIM ON MAJOR OUTAGE : we're'sory'
"Tech stocks with poor fundamentals could stay cheap forever. It's hard for us to see how RIM can stay competitive against Apple and Android," Walkley said.
Shaw Wu, an analyst with Sterne, Agee and Leach in San Francisco, agreed. He pointed out that investors are looking at RIM's current troubles and are pricing in an increasingly bleak future.
Wu said the recent BlackBerry e-mail glitch may have been the last straw for some investors -- even though there is the promise of new phones coming soon, running on BBX, a combination of the BlackBerry operating system and the widely hyped QNX operating system.
"It's pretty sad what's happened. RIM still has a shot to turn it around," Wu said. "But the service outage did not help. It's unacceptable and they have nobody to blame but themselves."
So even though RIM still has much in its favor and is not on the precipice of imminent financial disaster, Wu said investors can't help wondering if RIM is even capable of regaining its former leadership role.
"RIM is not going to be losing money anytime soon, but people fear that may happen down the road. It's like what happened with Nokia. People once thought it could never lose money, and then it did," Wu said.
Sales and profits plunge at RIM
Still, RIM may have little downside left at this point. Alkesh Shah, an analyst with Evercore Partners in New York, said that the stock has probably bottomed in the near-term.
Shah maintains that RIM's $1.4 billion in cash and more than 10,000 patents should serve as a floor for the stock. That last point is key. Tech giants are engaging in a patent war and many once struggling companies have become attractive because of their intellectual property.
Google bought Motorola Mobility largely as a patent play. And on Thursday, mobile software company Openwave Systems announced a deal to license patents to Microsoft. Shares of Openwave (OPWV) rose nearly 10% Friday.
"Openwave is another reminder of the value of intellectual property," Shah said. On the flip side, he thinks that the patents merely protect RIM from further share declines.
"RIM still has significant challenges," he said. "It won't bounce anytime soon, since there is no catalyst until the phones on the next operating system comes out sometime in 2012."
Reader comment of the week .. and run, Mrs. Buzz, run! Lots of tweets this week about the craziness in Europe. Stocks moved up and down on the latest rumors, which were flying fast and furious from across the pond
My favorite comment came from a Twitter follower who goes by the name of @sharkridingbear on Twitter. He doesn't give his real name either, as he is signed up as "lloyd pancakes." And he has a link to a blog called Guynance.
I think I am developing a bit of a man crush on Ottawa native "lloyd," since his Twitter bio is hilarious too: "Just a guy with a crown that's riding a shark that's concurrently riding a bear explaining finance and talking Jays and Sens." The icon is a cartoon depicting this.
Anyway, he tweeted that "This market is like a craps table. It needs a big 'RISK ON' button that lets you win until Europe rolls a 7."
Nice one. I am a sucker for a good gambling analogy. But I think that Europe has crapped out several times already, and I'd be betting the "don't pass" line when it comes to Greece.
Finally, I'm off all next week. Mrs. Buzz is running the NYC Marathon Sunday. (Go Beth! So proud of you!) I figured next week would be a great time for a staycation as she recovers from the grueling 26.2 miles. The Buzz column (and tweets) will return on November 14.
I hope Greece and Italy are still around when I return.

When the iPhone's Siri takes the day off

Apple's voice assistant took an extended coffee break on Thursday.
Asked by the blog VentureBeat what she'd been doing during an apparent service outage, Siri, the voice-controlled "assistant" that's the standout feature of the new iPhone 4S, replied in a way that would raise any employer's eyebrows:
She just listed the names of a bunch of day spas.
"Siri where have you been all day?" the blogger asked. Her response: "I found 12 places matching 'All Day' ... 11 of them are not far from you."

Well, at least she responded. For much of Thursday -- five hours, according to CNN's partner site Fortune -- Apple's voice-controlled assistant wasn't functioning at all for some people, apparently because of a server outage.
Siri needs to communicate with computers that are in the cloud to understand and process voice commands, leading observers to believe something went wrong with that system. Apple hasn't commented on the outage and did not immediately respond to CNN's request for information.



Many iPhone 4S users, when they asked Siri questions Thursday, reported being greeted with this: "Sorry, I'm having trouble connecting to the network."
That message came even when phones were connected to Wi-Fi or 3G networks, according to the reports, which surfaced on tech blogs and Twitter.
Some Siri users felt kind of lost without their personal assistant. That's pretty amazing when you consider that Siri is definitely a new hire. The iPhone 4S went on sale October 14. But some people already have come to depend on her in those three weeks.
"(I)t was awful. I had to use the annoying google app to find a jamba juice!!" the Twitter user @The_Beer_Baron_ wrote in response to a question from CNN about the outage.
"She's usually pretty reliable although sassy," that user said.
Tech writers debated which management style might be best for this errant helper.
Sarah Perez at TechCrunch thought it might be best to cut her some slack. Or maybe not.
"Granted, Siri is still a beta product -- and this is what happens to beta products -- but when Apple promotes Siri as one of the best and OMG-gotta-have-it new features of its latest device through its cloying new TV ads, it's worth noticing when the service doesn't quite deliver as promised," she wrote.
Others see her responsibilities -- namely answering her owner's questions, finding directions, calling people and looking up songs to play -- as unrealistic given Siri's job qualifications.
Maybe it's too much to think the servers that run Siri -- a complicated and fairly new technology that's been tried and failed before -- would always be up and running.
"Not only is AI still in its infancy -- a condition it's been in for more than half a century -- but it relies in its current incarnation on networks and servers whose unreliability you can bank on," Philip Elmer-DeWitt wrote on Fortune's Apple 2.0 blog.
"Good thing the iPhone still has a touchscreen."
Things may turn out OK though. So far, no one seems to want to fire Siri just yet.
Well, except maybe this Furby.

Five Complaints for iPhone 4S

4S iPhone mobile phone, Apple's latest product which is claimed to achieve sales of 4 million units within three days, was still reaping the complaint. Phones that went on sale in the United States and six other countries it is still lamented by its buyers through online media. Among the many complaints, there are at least five major problems faced by almost all buyers of the iPhone 4S.

Data services are slow

Apple offers cellular service through Sprint jariangan for unlimited data access, in addition to AT & T and Verizon. In the United States, this company operates the second largest wireless broadband network. Many iPhone users are reporting slow 4S data accessed through Sprint. Responding to this, Scott Sloat, a Sprint spokesman told CNN stated, Sprint is analyzing reports of iPhone users 4S and being careful to monitor the 3G network.

Weak battery

Phil Schiller, Apple's vice president for Product Management has said in his presentation that the 4S iPhone users will be able to make calls for 8 hours before ultimately re-charge the battery. But in fact, users complained that the battery is weaker than the iPhone 4. Apple iLounge then publish reviews about the battery and discovered a surprising fact. 4S iPhone battery is generally more hungry than the iPhone 4. Using Wi-Fi or 3G consistently, calls, and playing video or music will drain the battery very quickly.



Siri works only in the United States

Requests iPhone clearly global, including new services offered. One service that seeded the iPhone 4 is Siri, where only the sound, the phone can perform the desired command the user. Starting from sending an SMS, asking weather, becomes the guide, discuss recipes or other information. Siri, however turned out to have shortcomings in terms of capturing the words of the user. Siri had difficulty receiving heavy accent, as the words spoken by the English, French, and German. Imagine if the people of Scotland to use this feature.

Besides could not catch the words well, Siri also turns can only provide information about road and weather throughout the United States. Beyond that, Siri still need time for adaptation. Even in Canada, the region closest to the United States, Siri was not functioning properly.

Camera problems

Points that attract users to buy the iPhone 4S is the 8-megapixel camera has. However, these cameras are still in trouble with the shutter speed and aperture. In a discussion forum on the Apple site, some reported that when they take photos, the camera caught up with the shutter closed. Others said the camera was not working at all, so they fix it by turning off the phone and restart.

Spots on screen

Some buyers reported a yellowish color or spots on their mobile screen. This is an issue that the iPhone has ever faced before. Apple never officially explained that the technician reported that the spots or yellowish color is a residue from the manufacturing process. Colors tend to fade after a few days.

Desain iPhone apple 4S

Apple accused of iPhone 4S design only perfunctory because it proved a lot of problems after use. In fact, Apple's iPhone failed to retain the title "Phone of the Year" in the event of direct election by the technology magazine Stuff Magazine in the UK. This honorary title was taken by Samsung Galaxy S II.

Former analyst and consultant technology vendors, such as Joe Wilcox told Betanews, explains, there are a lot of weirdness before Apple launched the iPhone generation mutakhirnya.

Indeed, during the initial appearance of the product, Apple won praise for his achievement make the wide touch screen phone. However, if viewed from the other side, the iPhone is even impressed 4S carelessly.



First, in addition to the problem feature, users would want a phone with long battery life. Special iPhone 4S is actually happening waste battery power, even up to 10 percent. In fact, the iPhone 4 with iOS5 was just down the performance of the batteries as much as 2 percent.
