what's going on Brian Tong here and we're back with your Google Isha's for everything inside the world of Google we've been gone for a while between my vacation and everything else but we're back and packed with stories now last week Google's parent company alphabet announced record revenues and profits thanks to increased ad sales and a stronger control and cost resulting in the stock price going bonkers so now during their earnings they talked about their increased investments in machine learning and artificial intelligence a Bloomberg report says a very large fraction of the millions of queries a second that people like us are searching for are being interpreted by an AI system by Google nicknamed rankbrain 15% of all searches it receives have never been seen before and rankbrain makes a guess at what words or phrases might have a similar meaning and filters the results to make it more effective and handling these never-before-seen searches now Google search engineers were even asked to eyeball some pages and guess which one they thought Google Search Engine Tech will rank on top the humans guessed right 70% of the time while ranked brain had an 80% success rate now you guys can check out the Bloomberg article it's really interesting stuff and if you're thinking this out loud the answer is yes you and I will eventually both be replaced by machines now machines are already doing more things for us and Google's driverless cars are another example of what's coming the goups continues to reiterate that they aren't looking to make this a commercial product just yet and that might have been around 2020 but Larry burns one of Google's consultants and GM's former chief technology officer says Google's tech could be ready in less than three years now a new patent published by the US Patent and Trademark Office revealed a proposed google in-car tool which uses your own wearable devices movements to figure out if you're the driver or the passenger of the car now people are still driving and texting or checking the web or a whole bunch of other distracting dangerous things but Google system could theoretically detect who is the driver and disable certain functions on their mobile phone or other devices this is not a real product yet and the idea behind it is all obviously about say but it's also sometimes just another reason for people who aren't buying a wearable right now to still not buy one all right tablets are getting bigger and bigger these days and you know who else wants in on that Samsung now a Sam mobile report reveals that Samsung is working on an 18 point 4 inch tablet called the Samsung view that can double up as a mini TV for the streaming age eighteen point four inches people now it's reported to have a 1920 by 1080 resolution with a exynos 7580 64-bit octa-core processor and will launch in the US with a price tag of $5.99 but no release date has been given yet there's also this nifty looking handle on the backside because it's as big if not bigger than a briefcase okay samsung pay is also finally available to Verizon users in the US with a galaxy s6 edge edge plus or note 5 after a long period of uncertainty its main advantage is really the ability to use it with old magnetic card base readers as well and ACC released their latest flagship phone with the HTC One a9 and I think is pretty obvious what design they might have borrowed from or just blatantly copied like seriously HTC this is just bad but jack tong president of HTC north asia who has no relationship to me whatsoever fired back at critics by saying we're not copying we made a unibody metal clad phone in 2013 it's Apple that copies us in terms of antenna design on the back and Jack makes a point I had the original HTC one and it was the first unibody metal design but then you guys had to make yours look almost exactly like the iPhone 6 and 6s you weren't tricky to anyone here and remember ACC had that ad campaign called here's to change so HTC stands for new mungus to fall catamaran great pine teak atom or almost hot team caterpillar all this cat HTC here's to change but now HTC stands for how to copy and in the most pressing issues surrounding Android fans are freaking out after Apple just pushed out its recent iOS update that supports Unicode seven and eight and the new emojis so Hiroshi Locke himer the new senior VP of Android sent out a tweet reassuring users that the Android team is on it after reddit users complain about them trailing others in the emoji game there's no date when you'll be getting the new taco burrito or middle finger emojis but it might be a few more months and I know that really hurts some of you but you have to deal with it and I know you can make it through this together all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can email us at Google issues at cnn.com or tweet me at Brian Tong thanks so much for watching and we'll see you next time for some more of that Google issues
