I agree with Apple products being overpriced and underwhelming, however, since the brand is so well known people will still support the service. Also agree with what you said about Apple creating original content. If Apple is able to create their own movies and shows, that will keep customers coming back for more. It will also be Apple exclusive…[Read more]

I think the smartlane is a great way to help improve traffic congestion, especially in highly congested highways. This is similiar to New York’s high occupancy vehicles lane where, in order to try to improve traffic flow, the city designed a lane that can be used if there are a minimum of 2 people in the car and during a certain part of the day.…[Read more]

Facial recognition is an interesting piece of technology and there has always been two sides of the spectrum. On one side, people think it’s great being able to use facial recognition to unlock phones and track […]

I agree with you completely about blu-ray players being out of contention as people are more likely to just use streaming services. I find it more convenient to use my gaming console as a multi-function tool than having to go out my way and purchase a blu-ray player just to watch something. I can understand why Samsung and other major competitors…[Read more]

Raymond Wu commented on the post, Tesla "Dog Mode" feature, on the site 5 years, 9 months ago
I agree with everyone saying Tesla is brilliant at solving problems and this feature may be small, but it will provide relief for people passing by the car and seeing pets inside. This will benefit both pet owners and regular pedestrians as the owners will know that their pets will be perfectly fine inside the car while the owners are away. Also,…[Read more]

This is my first time hearing about Amazon Live and I found it interesting how Amazon continues to incorporate other companies’ successful strategies. Amazon live will give their customers more of an incentive to purchase off their website. I’m not sure about Amazon’s next target, but I really like how they’re using drones to deliver packages…[Read more]

Raymond Wu commented on the post, Microsoft's moving Xbox ad was the best thing about the Super Bowl, on the site 5 years, 9 months ago
I agree with what you’re saying about Microsoft creating this controller, not for monetary gains, but to include people with disabilities and give them an opportunity to be able to enjoy games too. And I feel the same about companies not taking some disabilities into consideration when designing controllers. Hopefully, Microsoft’s new controller…[Read more]

Amazon’s Echo Wall Clock is officially back on sale in the United States. The sales for the Wall Clock was paused to sort out bluetooth connectivity issues. Amazon restarted the sales for the Wall Clock after a […]

This seems like a silly product to me. First, who uses analog clocks to tell time anymore, and second to get the full functionality out of it the user needs to also have an existing echo device. There are already 300 devices in my house that can tell me the time and set a timer for me without having to talk to speak it into a completely separate device. I think Amazon is trying to leverage its ecosystem and broaden their offerings of smart home devices, but I believe there are many more practical places to implement technology into the home. This seems like a rushed product to keep up news coverage over current buzz words like smart home tech. As more and more smart home devices come onto the market, I think this will be overshadowed by other offerings with more functionality and practicality.

The Superbowl is one of the most watched events in the United States every year. It attracts many viewers which companies take advantage of. Companies pay millions of dollars to advertise their products to the […]

I really enjoyed this piece of technology that was released. I did not see the advertisement during the Super Bowl, but the other day I did watch a video on LinkedIn about this controller and some of the kids who were able to use this technology. It is really amazing to see something like this being created because it allows kids with disabilities to feel welcomed. As an avid gamer, I know that many companies don’t really seem to delve into non-traditional controllers, but seeing Microsoft do this was amazing. The current market really only targets traditional controllers and gamers that would use them, and does not seem to consider any others. This was a big step for Microsoft and I don’t think it was really about trying to make a profit off of this. My concern is that many other companies aren’t doing such a thing, or at least they may be but aren’t advertising it properly. What do you think?

Steve Jobs was a great presenter and innovator who truly believed in his products. Throughout his presentation, he captivated his audience with stories, pictures, and even poked fun at his competitors. I also appreciated his humor in his presentation, most notably when he said that the iPhone’s multi-touch function was patented. Jobs made a huge…[Read more]

The most important takeaway from this course would be that data comes in many forms (good and bad) and that it can be found nearly anywhere. Data science is a course where students learn the difference between good and bad data sets, how to integrate the data set into some sort of graph to make it simple for the viewers, and to combine all the…[Read more]

A data driven service that I use regularly is Google Maps. If I were to store the data into a spreadsheet, the rows would represent each person that uses Google Maps. The columns would be most visited places, their top rated places, lowest rated places, where they spend the longest amount of time, usage of the app (bike, public transit, car, or…[Read more]

An example of a KPI that I use is called sleep cycle. It is specific and measurable because it measures the exact amount of time that I sleep and it wakes you up after you finish cycles of rem sleep. It is achievable because I can choose what time I want to sleep and what an approximate time that I would like to wake up. It is relevant because…[Read more]

Step number 3 is the most important step. Step number 3 is to start working on the database without doing a full backup first. Having a full backup is always important because if something happens where the file doesn’t save, you will still have the file available to you. Although this never happened to me with an excel file, it has happened to me…[Read more]

Facial recognition plays a huge role in our safety today. A few years ago, the sheriff in Washington wouldn’t have been able to find the criminal as fast as he could today with Amazon Rekognition. It helped the sheriff identify and capture the criminal much faster which means there are less criminals out on the streets. I believe this is definitely a positive. It can also help track who is walking into a venue to ensure there are no threats at an event. When I am at an event, I want to feel safe and comfortable. The United States works hard to protect its’ citizens and i think implementing facial recognition in more places will help keep this a safe place for us. As with all data, as long as it is used for the business purpose only, I do not see a problem with it. If it will keep me safer, then I fully support it and I appreciate it.
