It has plans for another Pixel Watch for 2023 and a new Fitbit fitness tracker. "The Pixel Watch is the highest priority right now," said one current employee. Google hits the reset buttonThe Pixel Watch marks something of a reset in wearables for Google. Google dismantled its own health program, Google Health, in 2021, and has struggled to form a cohesive vision in healthcare. "I struggle to see how it will remain a separate service for Pixel Watch to be honest, as from a brand perspective is not very clean."

The AI software told banks to deny millions of legitimate purchases, at a time when consumers had been scrambling for toilet paper and other essentials. Seasonal variations, data-quality changes or momentous events - such as the pandemic - all can lead to a string of bad AI predictions. Also to blame was its AI system learning from corrupted data, the company said. Arize AI, which raised $38 million from investors last month, enables monitoring for customers including Uber, Chick-fil-A and Procter & Gamble. Zoldi said consumer habits were changing too fast to rewrite the AI system.

NEW YORK, Sept 28 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Apple (AAPL.O) may learn that its moat isn’t as wide during times of high inflation. When wallets are pinched, a new iPhone probably isn’t a must-have. As other currencies have weakened relative to the dollar, Apple has had to raise prices to keep the cost steady relative to America. Already Apple’s share of the global smartphone market has declined sharply to 16% in the second quarter from 23% penetration in the fourth quarter last year, according to research firm IDC.

☆ Harassment is a problem in VR, and it’s likely to get worse

But there’s already one problem that some users have reported cropping up in the nascent space: harassment and other unwanted behavior, particularly in social VR apps and games, including in Horizon Worlds. It’s hard to tell how widespread VR harassment is, but a December report from the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate gives a sense of its prevalence in VRChat. In hopes of stopping and preventing bad behavior, social VR apps tend to offer a number of common tools that people can use. There aren’t established normsAn overarching challenge in addressing VR harassment is the lack of agreement over what even counts as harassment in a virtual space versus a physical one. “Because it’s immersive, the embodied feature of social VR, those behaviors kind of feel realistic, which means it could feel damaging because it feels physical, the threat,” Freeman said.

Grupul informatic american Microsoft va prezenta joi o nouă versiune a sistemului de operare Windows, la șase ani după lansarea Windows 10, transmite ReutersPotrivit AGERPRES, acest sistem de operare care a transformat Microsoft într-un gigant mondial, care a dominat piața computerelor personale timp de mai mulți ani, a fost devansat ca popularitate în ultimii ani de dispozitive care utilizează software-ul Apple și Google dar cu toate acestea Windows este în continuare elementul central al poziției solide pe care o ocupă Microsoft pe piața corporate. Analiștii se așteaptă ca noua versiune să poarte denumirea Windows 11 și să conțină unele update-uri pentru utilizatorii de business care să îl facă mai ușor de utilizat în sistem dual-monitor. De asemenea, ar putea veni cu unele unele update-uri pentru pasionații de jocuri pe PC, un alt segment important de clienți pentru Microsoft, inclusiv o aplicație pentru Xbox. Microsoft urmează să ofere mai multe detalii joi, la evenimentul de lansare online, ocazie cu care va anunța și planurile sale pentru noul Windows Store modernizat.

Potrivit documentului, femeile care activează în sectorul public sunt mai puţin predispuse la comiterea actelor de corupţie, comparativ cu femeile din sectorul privat. Această concluzie însă nu se referă şi la bărbaţi, care, fie activează în sfera publică sau privată, sunt mai predispuşi de a comite infracţiuni de corupţie. Cert este un lucru: majoritatea celor care săvârşesc infracţiuni de corupţie şi conexe corupţiei, anterior nu au comis aceste tipuri de infracţiuni. Totodată, practica de a „cere şi de a da mită” poate fi rezultatul nesancţionării persoanelor corupte sau aplicarea unor pedepse prea blânde care nu descurajează implicarea în acte de corupţie. Aplicarea pedepselor nonprivative de libertate şi a pedepselor blânde măreşte considerabil numărul actelor de corupţie şi scade încrederea populaţiei în sistemul judecătoresc, pe care, la fel, îl consideră cel mai afectat domeniu din punct de vedere al prezenţei corupţiei.

☆ Apple intenţionează să majoreze cu 30% producţia de iPhone în primul semestru din 2021

Grupul american Apple Inc intenţionează să producă 96 de milioane de telefoane iPhone în primul semestru din 2021, ceea ce ar însemna o creştere de 30% comparativ cu perioada similară a acestui an, după ce cererea pentru primul său telefon 5G a crescut exploziv, informează un articol publicat marţi în cotidianul Nikkei.Potrivit surselor citate de cotidianul japonez, Apple ar fi cerut furnizorilor săi să îi producă între 95 şi 96 de milioane de telefoane iPhne, inclusiv modele din ultima generaţie iPhone 12 precum şi versiunile mai vechi iPhone 11 şi SE, chiar dacă lipsa de componente cheie ar putea pune în pericol atingerea acestei ţinte, scrie agerpres.ro O cifră de 96 de milioane de telefoane în primul semestru sugerează că Apple are intenţia de a produce până la 230 de milioane de telefoane pe întreaga perioadă a anului 2021, incluzând atât modele vechi cât şi noi, susţin sursele. Aceasta ar însemna o creştere de 20% comparativ cu 2019, însă este posibil ca această ţintă să fie revizuită şi modificată în mod regulat ca răspuns la modificările survenite în cererea consumatorilor, au adăugat sursele citate de Nikkei. "Cifrele de producţie planificate pentru următoarele trimestre au fost decise iar perspectivele arată bine. Cererea pentru iPhone 12 Pro şi iPhone 12 Pro Max este peste ceea ce estimam, în timp ce cererea pentru iPhone 12 este în linie cu estimările iar în cazul iPhone 12 mini este uşor sub aşteptări", a declarat un director de la un important furnizor al Apple.În 2018 şi 2019, Apple a înregistrat doi ani consecutivi de scădere a vânzărilor de smartphone-uri, însă în primele nouă luni ale acestui an grupul american a livrat aproximativ 116 milioane iPhones, o scădere de doar 1% în ritm anual, arată datele firmei de cercetare de piaţă IDC.Comenzile solide pentru producţia de telefoane iPhone făcute de Apple vin într-un moment în care industria de smartphone-uri se confruntă cu două mari provocări: o lipsă de componente şi o concurenţă acerbă pentru cota de piaţă a producătorului chinez Huawei. Producătorii de smartphone-uri sunt într-o cursă pentru a-şi asigura suficiente componente importante, în special semiconductori şi display-uri, care au nevoie de mai multe luni pentru a fi produse, în aşteptarea unei creşteri explozive a cererii consumatorilor după pandemie.
