Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - A Sneak Peek at Cortana Running on Windows 10 [Video]
WinBeta has posted a video demonstrating a pre-release version of Cortana for Windows 10.
Notably, the look of Cortana doesn’t represent the final shipping product. The UI isn’t finished. It will likely look much better when unveiled to the public.
From the get go, Cortana can do pretty much everything the Windows Phone version can. This includes reminders, call people with skype, check my location/maps, play/pause music, launch apps, check the weather and more. Right now, Cortana doesn’t have a personality in Windows 10, meaning she doesn’t answer questions like “Who are you”, however we have it on good authority that she will have this ability by the time she rolls out to the public.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Protesters Storm Fifth Ave Apple Store to Stage 'Die-In' [Photos]
Over a hundred demonstrators briefly invaded the flagship Fifth Ave Apple Store this evening to stage a ‘die-in’, reports Reuters.
The demonstration was part of protests that began on Wednesday when a grand jury declined to bring charges against police officer Daniel Pantaleo for choking Eric Garner, a black 43-year-old father of six, to death.
Garner, who had no weapon, was being arrested on suspicion of selling cigarettes illegally. A videotape of his confrontation with police on Staten Island in July showed Pantaleo’s arm across Garner’s neck as he is subdued by four officers, then Garner was pinned face down to the pavement as he repeatedly gasps, “I can’t breathe” – a phrase protesters have adopted as a rallying cry.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Mark Zuckerberg Dismisses Tim Cook's View on Ad-Supported Companies as 'Ridiculous'
Mark Zuckerberg has spoken out about Apple CEO Tim Cook recent comments on ad-supported businesses, calling them ‘ridiculous’.
In an interview with Charlie Rose, Cook offered his thoughts on privacy suggesting that users are ad-supported companies’ product and that customers should be worried about that.
“We’ve taken a very different view of this than a lot of other companies have. Our view is when we design a new service we try not to collect data. So, we’re not reading your email. We’re not reading your iMessage. If the government laid a subpoena on us to get your iMessages, we can’t provide it. It’s encrypted and we don’t have a key. It’s sort of the door is closed. Our business Charlie is based on selling these. Our business is not based on having information about you. You’re not our product. Our products are these, and this watch, and Macs and so forth. So, we run a very different company. I think everyone has to ask, how do companies make their money. Follow the money and if they’re making money mainly by collecting gobs of personal data I think you have a right to be worried and you should really understand what’s happening to that data.”
