#Facebook M Is trained and Monitored by Humans, Facebook Reveals Facebook has entered the virtual digital assistant space with a new service for its millions of Messenger users,
known as M. Facebook M is a personal assistant that will be integrated into the main messaging app, Facebook Messenger.
Using this new digital assistant, the users of this application will be able to search for information as well as complete different tasks without the need of manually doing them.
At the moment, Facebook reveals that this service is still in its trial stages and as of now
you will be lucky to be among the first persons to enjoy this new service on Facebook Messenger.
This announcement was made public by the Vice president of Facebook messaging products David Marcus via his Facebook page.
Facebook M can complete the tasks on behalf of the userfacebook M brings something new to the virtual digital assistant space
a space that is vastly dominated by Siri from Apple and Google Now from you know where.
Facebook M can do just that. For instance, the application can be used to make purchases on your behalf,
Google Now can only manage to provide you with a list of recommended gifts that you can buy for your friend.
Facebook M will actually find the list of items, place an order and get the gift delivered to the desired person.
Facebook M will be using humans to provide users with feedbackeven though Facebook M will be relying a lot on artificial intelligence,
it was noted that this intelligence is trained and supervised by humans. The humans, known as M Trainers, will be composed of non-Facebook employees
and their work will be to ensure that users get the best responses to their queries and on time.
The inclusion of humans in Facebook M is a rather confusing feat as most companies are working to eliminate
It is expected however that Facebook will hire more and more M trainers as the service expands to global users of Messenger.
It is also important to note that unlike Google Now and Cortana Facebook M will not be making use of data it has collected about you over the years.
The service will only be providing feedback based on the parameters provided by the user at that given moment.
Facebook M is free of any charge and it will come integrated within Facebook Messenger g

Google CEO Page will become CEO of the new entity, with his cofounder Sergey Brin serving as president.

Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. The reorganisation comes amid concerns that Google dominance of the tech sector may have peaked as the landscape evolves.
Google has for years been the leader in internet search and has turned advertising linked to those searches into a highly lucrative business.
But its shares have struggled since hitting an all-time high in early 2014 and it has little to show for ventures in other areas:
self-driving cars, Google glass, internet balloons, health care, GOOGLE TV mobile payments, home automation and its Google+social network, among others.

and talk. he unveiling of the new logo came just weeks after a surprise reorganisation of Google under a newly formed parent company called Alphabet.
The plan calls for Alphabet to be the corporate parent, with an operating unit for Google and its related search operations
and a handful of other operating firms created for projects in health, internet delivery, investment and research.
While Google is known as the dominant player in internet search, it has launched a variety of projects in recent years that are related marginally at best to its core operation.
The projects include self-driving cars, Google glass, internet balloons, drones, health care, GOOGLE TV, mobile payments, home automation and its Google+social network, among others.
The Google unit, to be headed by current company vice president Sundar Pichai, will include search, ads, maps, Youtube, Android and related technology infrastructure.
The revised design unveiled on Tuesday features the same mix of blue red, yellow and green that Google has been using throughout its nearly 17-year history,
though the hues are slightly different. Google also invented a new typeface called roduct Sansthat is meant to resemble the simple printing in a grade-school book.

#EU ruling means Facebook and Google can send data to the US If you live in Europe,
including Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook. The decision is the culmination of a case that Austrian lawyer Max Schrems brought against Facebook in 2013 for participation in US mass surveillance.
It means that The irish Data protection Commission which presides over Facebook data-export operations, is unable to use Safe Harbour as a reason not to investigate Facebook data protection practices in the US.
In a statement, The irish Data protection Commissioner confirmed that Schrems case would be brought back before The irish High court s soon as practicable The ruling also removes the legal blanket that allowed companies to send data gathered in the EU to the US for processing.
It not yet clear whether this will disrupt the day-to-day operation of major technology firms, but their ability to pool data from both sides of the Atlantic for analysis will be affected.
it sets a great precedent for the legal challenges to mass surveillance happening in Europe For all the internet power to connect people globally,
the ruling is a step towards an internet that takes local rights and laws into account.

A global internet with standards for protecting our data may help bridge that gap.

#Google Restructures Itself To Form'Alphabet,'A New Supercompany Google, the company that owns Youtube,
Android and Chrome, is reorganizing. Instead of the massive supercompany called Google, it will be a massive supercompany called Alphabet,
with Google still being its largest subsidiary. According to a blog post by Google CEO Larry page, who will now be the CEO of Alphabet,
this restructuring allows the new conglomerate of companies to be more independent and better managed.
Sergey Brin, the current president of Google, will become the president of Alphabet, while Sundar Pichai, the current head of Google android and Chrome divisions,
will be the next CEO of Google. A screenshot of abc. xyz, the site for Alphabet, which now owns Google.
Google will be slimmed down, ostensibly to web services, while other pursuits like Calico (Google war on aging) and Life sciences (developing the glucose-sensing contact lens) are split into separate entities.
Alphabet will also include Google Wing drone delivery attempt and its X lab, as well as its Venture and Capital investment companies.

Under the new operating structure, its main Google business will include search, ads, maps, apps, Youtube and Android and the related technical infrastructure (the oogle business.
Businesses such as Calico, Nest, and Fiber, as well as its investing arms, such as Google Ventures and Google Capital,
and incubator projects, such as Google X, will be managed separately from the Google business. Here's a pretty good summary, via tweet:
Alphabet will replace Google as the publicly-traded entity, according to the post. The change will happen automatically,

#Google to become Alphabet Inc in shakeup Google Inc (GOOGL. O) announced a major shake-up of its operating structure on Monday, creating a holding company called Alphabet
which will contain subsidiaries to separate its core web advertising business from newer ventures like driverless cars.
Google is not going to slow the pace of their experimental processes like self driving cars, "said Michael Yoshikami,
The surprise news sent shares of Google up as much as 7 percent to $708 in after hours trading."
Google's planned structure resembles the way companies like Berkshire hathaway and General electric are organized, with a central unit handling corporate-wide activities such as finance
the Google unit will encompass the core search engine traditionally associated with the company as well Google maps and Youtube.
Alphabet Inc will replace Google as the publicly traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights."
"This new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google,
"said current Google CEO Larry page in a blogpost. Analysts also said the new structure could herald a new era of fiscal discipline and transparency in some of its more experimental and opaque business units.
In a SEC filing, Google said the new arrangement will take effect later this year and that it will likely result in two reportable, financial segments."
"For example, if a unit is doing well or badly they can dial it up or down,
The shuffle also looked to have the markings of Ruth Porat, who joined Google as its chief financial officer in March from Morgan stanley. In Google's recent quarterly conference call, Porat repeatedly emphasized keeping expenses under control.
Porat will serve as the CFO of both Alphabet and Google. Page will serve as the CEO of the newly created holding company and Sundar Pichai,
a long-time Google executive who most recently served as the company's senior vice president of products, will head Google.
The company's current directors will become directors of Alphabet. Google cofounder Brin will become president of Alphabet,
and Eric Schmidt will be executive chairman. Analysts said the move, which was mainly about transparency

when they try to seek out relevant medical information on the Internet. Unfortunately, as many of us are aware,
the web is not necessarily a great place to do this kind of research, and now a broad study of anti-vaccination websites helps to explain why.
Researchers from the Johns hopkins university Bloomberg School of Public health analysed close to 500 anti-vaccination websites and found that they deliver a distorted mixture of pseudoscience and misinformation to parents seeking information about vaccines.
According to the researchers, more than two thirds of anti-vaccination websites present nonscientific information and other forms of misinformation as cientific evidenceto support the view that vaccines are dangerous to children,
and nearly one third of sites reinforce the idea through the use of anecdotes and stories.
The researchers used search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask jeeves to find the sites, using search terms like mmunisation dangersand accine dangerto see where it led them.
The study found that the resulting mix of blogs, personal websites Facebook pages and health sites perpetuate an alarming mixture of misinformation about vaccines
and use a range of persuasive techniques to get the reader on side. Almost two thirds of the sites suggested that vaccines cause autism,
and more than 40 percent claim theye responsible for rain injury The majority present information as scientific when it doesn actually qualify for that distinction.
In addition to condemning vaccines, the sites also promote some positive behaviours, such as healthy eating (recommended by 18.5 percent of anti-vaccination sites),
and the benefits of breastfeeding (5. 5 percent) and eating organic food (5. 2 percent). The study, presented this week at the American Public health Association annual meeting in Chicago,
may help actual scientists such as doctors and health care workers better understand how to reach and communicate with parents who are concerned genuinely about any perceived risks of vaccination
(and who may be exposing themselves to potentially dangerous misinformation on these kinds of sites). he biggest global takeaway is need that we to communicate to the vaccine-hesitant parent in a way that resonates with them
and is sensitive to their concerns, said Meghan Moran, an associate professor in the Bloomberg School department of health, behaviour and society. n our review,
