Siri The Smart Assistant

2011-10-26T17:34:00.000-07:00

Ask Something to Siri

Works smart, his voice was soft. That Siri, a special application that could one day replace the role of personal assistants.

"I love you"

Oh, Stop.

"Will you marry me"

Let's just be friends, ok?

No, the conversation is not taken from a love story of a troubled youth in one-sided. The conversation actually occurred when Joshua Topolsky (a tech blogger) said the phrase "application" is to Siri.

For those of you who do not know, Siri is the personal assistant application that is in Apple's latest device, the iPhone 4S. To use Siri, you just talk in front of the iPhone 4S and he will do what you tell.

Siri works using voice recognition, aka technology that captures the human voice and converts it into commands understood by the machine. In fact, voice recognition is not new and has been widely applied for various purposes. In Puma helicopters for example, voice recognition application is used to set the navigation system and radio communications.

However, compared to voice recognition applications that have been there, Siri feels special. Siri has the ability to capture a command based on the context, so you like to talk to a real person (fyi, Siri uses a female voice). As the example above, Siri can recognize sentence declaration of love and respond with intelligent and 'flirtatious'. Even if you ask "Am I fat?", Siri can answer "I would prefer not to say"

Siri as Smart Assistant

Sure, Siri can be used for more than just answering silly questions like the above. Like a personal assistant, Siri will do what you tell. For example when you're driving and there is incoming SMS or email, you can instruct Siri to read the SMS / email. In fact, you can also send an SMS reply Siri is a way to dictate the content of SMS replies using sound.

Siri own functions closely associated with existing applications on the iPhone 4S, such as Weather, Browser, Calendar, Maps, and Reminder. For example if you want to know NY weather , you can ask Siri "Is NY Will be hot like yesterday?", And Siri will display the weather forecast NY today at the screen while the iPhone 4S said "I think so".

Another example is the cleverness Siri organize your schedule, so you can say "Meet with Jamie for coffee at two today", and Siri will put the schedule on the Calendar proficiency level. Furthermore, Siri can also avail the facility of GPS in the iPhone 4S in order to carry out their duties. So you can say "Remind me to phone my mom Pls I Arrive at home", and Siri will issue a Reminder that can detect when you (or rather your GPS in the iPhone 4S) have come home.

Siri How could that clever? Only Apple knows. However, given Siri can only be used if the iPhone 4S is connected to the internet (using either WiFi or cellular pathways), we estimate each command and the questions we ask to Siri will be streamed to Apple's dedicated server. There, the question will be processed using special algorithms and results are returned to the device in question.

Siri Limitations

Although special, Siri not without limitations. One of the biggest barriers is supported languages. Currently, Siri only supports English (U.S., UK, and Australia), Germany, and France. Apple is promising in 2012, Siri will support Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, and Spanish.
Siri also difficulty understanding the English language with a different accent. A video on YouTube showing how a Japanese citizen who said the word "Work" wrong interpreted to "Walk" and "While" by Siri. So if your English is still dominated the local patois, there is the possibility of Siri does not work with the maximum for you.

2010-05-06T20:56:00.000-07:00

Kecepatan dalam berinternet merupakan kebutuhan yang mendesak, dimana saat ini banyak sekali orang yang berinternet untuk sekedar mendownload, baik itu video bajakan atau software bajakan seperti saya. Hal tersebut terjadi ketergantungan kita pada OS semacam "Jendela" yang software-software pendukungnya yanng mempunyai harga cukup mencekik bagi orang Indonesia.

Okelah langsung saja pada cara mempercepat. Untuk itu silahkan ikuti instruksi dibawah :
1. Pada start menu pilih run dan ketikkan "gpedit.msc" tanpa tanda petik.
2. Kemudian pilih Administrative Templates
3. Pilih Network
4. Lanjutkan dengan QoS Packet Scheduler
5. Pilih Limit Reservable Bandwidth
6. Pilih Enable dan ketikkan 0%
7. Save dan silahkan dinikmati :D

Sebenarnya banyak sekali software yang bisa dipakai untuk optimalkan koneksi seperti Full Speed, Cfos Speed dan banyak lagi..
Tapi menururt saya sama efektifnya jika kita melakukan optimisasi lewet windows itu sendiri....
