what is siri

2011-11-08T06:26:00.001-08:00

Although predicting anything regarding Apple (AAPL) is difficult, few industry watchers were surprised when Steve Jobs' teamannounced on Wednesdayits acquisition ofSiri, a software company that has developed an innovative voice-command technology which has rapidly become a hit on smartphones. The move matches Google's (GOOG) strong push into voice-activated computing, a priority that is on full display in the free voice-activated navigation application running onAndroid-powered smart phones.

Both Apple CEO Jobs and Google CEO Eric Schmidt have publicly stated that voice-activated computing will become a far more common and powerful way to interface with all manner of computing devices. For its part, Microsoft (MSFT) has long had intentions in this realm, as is obvious from itsacquisition in 2007 of TellMe Networks, a directory-assistance system powered by a sophisticated voice-recognition technology.

While most smartphones already allow some voice command options, their built-in tools remain relatively crude. (For example, on Apple's iPhone the built-in voice-command software can't recognize the names of my Indian friends unless I mangle the pronunciations when requesting a call). Siri's software takes voice commands to a more interesting and useful level by tapping into various Web applications to help a user perform tasks. For example, a Siri user could tell his phone, "I want to buy Yankees tickets next month on a Saturday," and the system might pull up a Ticketmaster page where Yankee tickets were on sale.

This type of task-oriented computing has long been the Holy Grail for both standard computers and smartphones alike. But making tasks voice accessible is even more critical for smartphones: Those small screens and keypads are comfortable enough for basic Web surfing and emailing, but they make performing more complex tasks rather tedious and slow. Making complex tasks voice accessible will essentially turn smartphones into far more useful life tools -- and more valuable ones. Equally important, this degree of voice control will make the devices and their key voice software the focal points for all search efforts, moving that node of power away from browsers to the software running the smart phones or the computers (which explains why Google, Microsoft and Apple are all rapidly converging on operating systems as the next battleground in the tech wars).

Apple is rumored to have paidin excess of $200 million for Siri, which had collected $24 million in venture backing. The buy is Apple's third this year, following the acquisitions of chip-maker Intrinsity and mobile advertising network Quattro Wireless (the latter having been a quick reaction to Google's purchase of an even larger mobile advertising network). With the Siri buy, I'd expect that Apple's next generation iPhone will make huge improvements in voice capability, starting with a voice-activated navigation capability (possibly paired with an app from TomTom, the big GPS gun on the iPhone to date). Personally, I can't wait for the day when I can make dinner reservations, buy movie tickets, or find a taxi on any major smartphone without breaking a sweat -- or tapping on a tiny keyboard.

Investing in the Alta Wind Energy Center

Investing in the Alta Wind Energy Center

5/24/2011 07:00:00 AM

(Cross-posted from the Google Green Blog)

The Mojave Desert might be best known for its scorching sun and scary sidewinders, but the wind blows hard where the Mojave sands meet the Tehachapi Mountains in southern California, making it a great spot for wind turbines. It’s the site of the Alta Wind Energy Center (AWEC), which will generate 1,550 megawatts (MW) of energy when complete, making it one of the largest sites in the country for wind energy generation—enough to power 450,000 homes. Renewable energy developer Terra-Gen Power is constructing the site in several phases and we’ll provide $55 million to finance the 102 MW Alta IV project. Citibank, which has underwritten the equity for Alta Projects II-V, is also investing in this project.

We’re always looking for projects that are uniquely positioned to transform our energy sector. As part of the new 4,500 MW Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project (TRTP), AWEC uses some of the first transmission lines developed specifically to transport renewable energy from remote, resource-rich areas (like the Mojave) to major population centers.

The Alta Wind Energy Center under construction

The Alta projects also employ an innovative financial structure called a leveraged lease, which has been used previously in the solar industry but has only recently become an option for wind projects. Under the leveraged lease, Google and Citi are purchasing the Alta IV project and will lease it back to Terra-Gen, who will manage and operate the wind projects under long-term agreements. We hope this structure encourages more investment by enabling other types of investors who might not typically consider wind projects.

The first five Alta projects are already operational, delivering 720 MW of energy to Southern California Edison, which will receive all 1,550 MW when completed, under a power purchase agreement signed with Terra-Gen in 2006. While Google won’t be purchasing the electricity from this project, AWEC will help California meet its ambitious renewable portfolio standard of 33 percent clean power by 2020. The whole site will boost California’s wind generation by 30 percent.

With this deal, we’ve now invested more than $400 million in the clean energy sector. We hope AWEC’s success, with its unique deal structure and renewable energy transmission, encourages more financing and development of renewables that will usher in a new energy future.

gmail ozellikleri

2011-01-11T02:33:00.001-08:00

gmail özellikleri
Dünyanın en çok ziyaret edilen arama motoru Google, 1 Nisan 2004′te yeni hizmeti Gmail’i duyurduğunda internet kullanıcıları Hotmail ve Yahoo! Mail’in sınırlı mesaj kapasitesi sunan hizmetleri arasında bölünmüş durumdaydı. Birbirlerine çok benzeyen bu sistemler, gelen mesajları görüntülemekle yetiniyordu. Gmail ise yeni Web teknolojileri kullanarak e-posta kullanıcılarına pek çok yenilik sundu: 1 GB’lık kapasitesi sayesinde hiçbir mesajı silmeye gerek yoktu, sohbet teknolojisiyle diğer Gmail kullanıcılarıyla konuşmak mümkündü ve yeni teknolojinin esnekliği hemen hissediliyordu.
KAPASİTESİ
Gmail ilk çıktığında kapasitesinin 1 GB’lık büyüklüğüyle herkesi şaşırtmıştı. 1 Nisan 2005′te ise Google kapasiteyi daha da artıracağını açıkladı, artık posta kutusu günde yaklaşık 3 MB kadar büyüyecekti. Bugün Gmail yaklaşık 7 GB’lık bir kapasiteye sahip.
ARTILARI
Gmail kullanıcıları kendi aralarında dosya transferi ve sohbet yapmak için başka bir programa ihtiyaç duymuyor. Mesajlardaki Word dokümanı, PDF, MP3 gibi eklentileri, gerekli programlar olmadan da görüntüleyebiliyor. Bir mesaja iliştirilmiş bütün resimler tek bir dosyada toplanıp sıkıştırılabiliyor. Türkçe arabirimi de bulunan Gmail’in reklam mesajlarını filtreleyen spam teknolojisi de oldukça etkileyici.
EKSİKLERİ
Gmail’in arayüzünü Windows Live Mail’in yeni arayüzüne oranla daha ‘çirkin’ bulanlar var. Ama kabul etmek lazım ki Gmail, kusursuzluğa erişmiş, rakiplerinin özelliklerini kopya ettiği, işlevsel, basit ve öncü bir e-posta sistemi.

Burning Man 2010 in Google Earth

We covered some neat things with Burning Man (a very popular annual event that is "an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance") back in 2006 and 2007, and they've done some more cool stuff this year.
GEB reader Jeff has shared an image that was captured by GeoEye a few days ago that shows many of the participants forming a giant peace sign around the "man" in the center of the city. Here's the pic:
In addition, GeoEye has already published a fresh image to their "Featured Imagery" layer in Google Earth. You can find the layer titled "GeoEye featured Imagery" under the "More" section of your layers. Fly to this KML and turn the layer on, and you'll see something like this:
There will likely be other imagery coming in over the next few days. If you come across anything noteworthy, share your finds in the comments below.

Google Mobile App for iPhone gets pushy

2010-08-28T05:07:00.001-07:00

Monday, August 23, 2010 | 10:00 AM

Ever missed an appointment or important email because you were away from your desk? Now Google Mobile App can help with push notifications from your Google account to your iPhone -- an icon badge shows you’ve got new mail in Gmail, and Google Calendar event reminders appear right on your home screen.

We’ve also added spiffy features to get you information faster -- when looking for flight info, weather, stock quotes or currency conversion you’ll see answers before you even hit ‘Search’.

You can get the update from the App Store by searching for ‘Google Mobile App’.

If you have any questions or comments, or if you want to learn more, please visit our help center.

Update 8/24 5:00 PM PST:

You will only receive pop-up messages and sound/vibration for calendar alerts - new email is shown using the unread count on the Google Mobile App icon and in the apps tab.
To ensure you get alerts go to the Settings > Google Accounts panel inside Google Mobile App and switch on the notifications you'd like to receive. If you initially didn't allow Google Mobile App to receive push notifications when prompted, you can enable the feature again in the iOS Settings' application's Notifications panel.

New in Labs: Find docs and sites quickly with Apps Search

Where is that presentation? Was it attached to an email? Or in Google Docs? If you’re not sure, you may end up searching several places with the same query in order to find it. With the new “Apps Search” lab, we just made that all a bit simpler.

Once you enable it from the Gmail Labs tab under Settings, the “Search Mail” button in Gmail will say “Search Mail and Docs” instead, and your search results will include matching documents and sites in addition to email messages.

We also added “Did you mean?” style suggestions, for those of us who make mistakes (who doesn’t?):

You may notice that mail results show up just as fast as before while non-mail results may take a tiny bit longer. That way, if you’re just looking for an email, having this lab enabled won’t slow you down.

The paint is still wet and we plan to make further improvements the coming months, so be sure to let us know if you have any feedback.

Easier event scheduling in Google Calendar

2010-08-28T05:03:00.001-07:00

Thursday, August 26, 2010 | 5:20 PM

Posted by Nassar Stoertz, Software Engineer

In the next day or so, you'll start to see some changes to the event page in Google Calendar which should make scheduling events easier. We've made the style more consistent with other Google apps, put information that’s most commonly used at the top of the screen, simplified the layout, and added some functionality.

A new repeating event editor
The old interface for creating recurring events was clumsy and took up too much space on the screen. Now you'll see only a summary of your recurring event on the main event page; if you want to edit it, you can use a window that opens when you select the "Repeats" checkbox.

A new tool to help you find a time for your event
You'll notice a new tab on the event page that should make it easier to find a good time to schedule an event. When your friends or coworkers give you permission to see their calendars, you can click this tab to see a preview of their schedules and hover over their events to see what conflicts they might have. This should make scheduling a tad easier, especially for events with large numbers of guests. For Google Apps users, the new schedule preview can also show data from other calendar services using our Google Calendar Connectors API.

Changes under the hood
As browsers and other technologies both within and outside of Google have evolved, we've found it necessary to occasionally make structural code changes in order to keep up. These visible changes are only the surface; underneath we've added a new model for how we represent calendar events in the browser and a new mechanism for how we make sure those events get properly saved. We've paid special attention to performance, consistency, and extensibility. In the short term, you'll hopefully notice that the event page opens slightly faster than it did before.
