Apple WWDC 2017 Preview: A Siri Speaker Plus Software

WWDC tends to be a software-focused event, but Apple may be announcing several new devices at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 5. There's a remote possibility we'll get a sneak peek of the iPhone 8, but based on recent reports, there's a much better chance we'll see a revamped a new Siri-powered speaker that will compete against Amazon's legion of Alexa speakers, a revamped 10.5-inch iPad Pro and an update to Apple's MacBook lineup. Apple CEO Tim Cook will kick off WWDC 2017 on June 5.

Clinton says Trump campaign likely guided Russians before U.S. election

By David Ingram RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday she suspects President Donald Trump's campaign gave guidance to Russian government propaganda efforts during last year's U.S. presidential campaign, leveling her most serious charge yet against the person who defeated her. The former Democratic presidential candidate, appearing at a tech conference near Los Angeles, said propaganda spread on sites such as Facebook helped cost her the election, and she urged Silicon Valley firms to move faster to stop false stories. Trump has said that there was no collusion between his campaign and Russia.

It sounds like Apple’s Siri speaker will be worth the wait

With WWDC just around the corner, we're just a few days away from Apple unveiling iOS 11 along with new versions of macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. While WWDC is typically a software-only affair, rumor has it that Apple at WWDC this year will have a slew of hardware announcements. In addition to a brand new edgeless 10.5-inch iPad and a refreshed MacBook line, there are rumblings that Apple will introduce a Siri-based speaker next week at WWDC.

According to reports which surfaced over the past few weeks, Apple's Siri-based speaker will compete with Google Home and Amazon's Echo. Feature wise, the product will reportedly incorporate Beats audio technology and will offer users a premium acoustic experience.

As for how Apple's offering might differ from existing smart speakers already on the market, there are rumblings that the device will feature a touchscreen, a design that Apple executive Phil Schiller arguably confirmed just earlier this month during an interview.

"So there’s many moments where a voice assistant is really beneficial, but that doesn’t mean you’d never want a screen," Schiller said a few weeks back. "So the idea of not having a screen, I don’t think suits many situations."

Additionally, a new Bloomberg report sheds some more light on how Apple may carve out space for itself in a market currently dominated by Google and Amazon. Specifically, the report relays that Apple's Siri speaker will feature virtual surround sound technology and will be tightly integrated with the entirety of Apple's ecosystem.

Apple hopes that more advanced acoustics technology will give the speaker an edge over competitors, according to people with knowledge of the product’s development. Along with generating virtual surround sound, the speakers being tested are louder and reproduce sound more crisply than rival offerings, the people said. Apple has also considered including sensors that measure a room’s acoustics and automatically adjust audio levels during use, one of the people said.

This is all very intriguing, but it remains to be seen if the acoustic features Apple might deliver will prove to be enough of a draw for users who might reasonably prioritize functionality over premium acoustics. In other words, a top of the line acoustic experience might be an altogether moot point if Siri performance can't keep pace with what Amazon and Google are able to deliver. The upside, though, is that a Siri speaker will be able to incorporate larger and more advanced microphones which should help processing. What's more, there are rumors that Apple at WWDC this year will introduce an enhanced version of Siri.

On a related note, Apple is supposedly working on its own neural network that will reportedly help bolster Siri's artificial intelligence capabilities significantly. With WWDC set to kick off this coming Monday, we won't have to wait too much longer to find out.

McDonald's has made an Australian burger hack an official menu item

Seems like McDonald's has been keeping track of how you've been messing with its food. It's figured out that plenty of Aussies have been swapping out the Big Mac's beef patties with chicken ones. So it did the only logical thing, and put the often-requested burger on the menu. SEE ALSO: Five Guys beat In-N-Out as best burger chain, proving there really is no justice in the world Predictably it's called the Chicken Big Mac, and features all the other ingredients you'd get on the burger — lettuce, cheese, special sauce, on a sesame seed bun — but with McChicken patties instead.  Image: mcdonald's australiaOf course the Chicken Big Mac isn't a purely an Australian thing. The Chicken Big Mac is sold in Qatar, Egypt, the UAE and the Netherlands — but for the rest of the world you'll have to spend a little more time explaining your order. Also launching in Australia are these Cheeseburger Shaker Fries, which is a seasoning that combines the taste of "beef, onions, pickle, ketchup, mustard and cheese" — you know, like a cheeseburger. Shaker Fries are oddly a big thing Down Under, which we can prove by a dude who was selling a bag and a sachet of the seasoning for A$1,000 (US$744) back in 2014. "It's very limited edition," Vandi Huynh told The City at the time. "It comes out less frequently than the Olympics, like once every six years." We wonder how much his bag and sachet would fetch now.

Deaths from Alzheimer's disease are on the rise in the United States, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Researchers at the CDC found that, in recent years, the rate of death from Alzheimer's disease increased by more than 50 percent, from about 16 deaths per 100,000 people in 1999 to 25 deaths per 100,000 people in 2014.

Tesla releases list of Model 3 premium features, including an optional glass roof

Tesla releases list of Model 3 premium features, including an optional glass roof

With Tesla's final Model 3 reveal set to take place sometime in July, we won't have to wait long to see what the final version of Tesla's highly-anticipated mass market EV is going to look like. In the interim, Tesla a few days ago released an updated product sheet comparing the Model 3's specs to the Model S. In doing so, we were able to glean a treasure trove of information about what the Model 3 will bring to the table. For example, we learned that the Model 3 won't be anywhere close to as fast as the Model S, hardly a surprise given the car's $35,000 price tag. Specifically, the Model 3 will feature a 0-60 MPH time of 5.6 seconds. As far as range is concerned, the entry-level Model 3 will be able to go 215 miles on a single charge. Amid a slew of other details, one of the more interesting data points from Tesla's product sheet relayed that the Model 3 will be a lot less customizable than the Model S. Whereas the Model S is currently available in more than 1500 different configurations, the Model 3 will have fewer than 100 configuration options available. While this may disappoint some prospective buyers, it's actually an incredibly smart move on Tesla's part. Remember, Tesla has a bad habit of missing production deadlines. That said, anything Tesla can do to help streamline the production process is a step in the right direction. Historically, Tesla has shot itself in the foot by being overly ambitious with a new release, with the delays and technical problems surrounding the Model X launch being a prime example. Having said that, it's not as if the Model 3 will come in a one-size-fits-all type of package. On the contrary, some intriguing configuration options will exist. To this point, Tesla recently updated its product sheet with a few examples of premium features Model 3 buyers will be able to purchase. That updated list now reads: Full Self-Driving Capability Aluminum and Steel Body Coil Suspension Optional Glass Roof 18″ or 19″ Wheels As a point of comparison, some of the Model S features that will not be available on the Model 3 include a HEPA Filtration System, Smart Air Suspension, a panoramic sunroof, auto-presenting door handles, and 21-inch performance wheels.

Orangutan climbs out of enclosure while rescuing her baby

We know that orangutans are great climbers — in fact, it seems like they could just hop out of their enclosure, if they wanted to. It turns out that Sekara, an orangutan at the Perth Zoo, did just that when her 5-year-old baby Sungai lost grip on some equipment and fell into a garden bed on Sunday, according to WA Today. SEE ALSO: Rejected penguin has found new outlook on life with cutout of anime character Visitors were evacuated from the area for safety, but zoo staff were quick to respond to the incident. "She seemed really calm, just confused on where to go next. Everyone around was really calm and giving her space as well. The whole incident was probably only 30-40 seconds before staff arrived," Jess McConnell, a witness, told the news outlet. Perth Zoo spokesperson Danielle Henry told the news outlet that the incident was "over within 15 minutes," and Sekara remained calm and returned to keepers afterward. "Sekara is an excellent mum and a bit of a helicopter parent, and the only way to get to him was to pop onto the visitor board. She retrieved him and returned to the enclosure on her own," Henry said.  "Keepers were calling to her, and she has a very good relationship with them." The zoo will also conduct a review of the incident. It's not the first time an orangutan has escaped the zoo's enclosure. A couple of years ago, a 5-year-old orangutan named Teliti somehow got out and had a wander along a boardwalk.  Orangutang out at Perth zoo! Came down to play with my son.
