this is CNET and here the stories that
matter right now
in a surprising move Amazon and
Microsoft are aligning their respective
digital assistants allowing users to
utilize either of the two regardless of
the original platform meaning Amazon
smart speakers will have access to
Microsoft's Cortana and presumably Alexa
could be channeled through a Windows 10
PC according to Bloomberg the iPhone 8
might not only be ditching a physical
home button but even the possibility of
a virtual one - instead the home buttons
functionality might rely on touch
gestures we're still expecting the
iPhone 8 to be announced on September
12th with a price that could reach as
high as $1,000 in the US and finally the
FDA has alerted the medical community
that nearly a half million pacemakers
made by Abbott are vulnerable to being
hacked unless they are updated
fortunately the update takes around
three minutes
