#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
#Whatsapp has Over 800 Million Users, 600 Million are on Android A few months ago the company Whatsapp revealed that it has at least 800 million users.
and it involved about 50,000 active internet users, with Whatsapp segment constituting around 12,606 users from 34 countries across the globe.
while those using the iphone followed from a distance with 22%of the market share.
This means that the remaining 5%is shared among users of Windows phone, Nokia, and Blackberry devices.
Whatsapp made a record by becoming only the second non-Google app to achieve the 1 billion downloadsmark on the Google Play Store.
Whatsapp growth is a reflection of global smartphone updatewhatsapp keeps adding more and more users to its user base,
and this can be attributed to the continued number of smartphones in the world markets. The general number of Android smartphones in the handset market is more than any other company;
hence, the huge number of Whatsapp users on this platform. Android is an open source operating system and for sure,

#iphone 6s will be announced in a month The rumoured September 9 (September 10 in Australia) reveal date lines up well with Apple usual September event,
whether Apple 2015 device will be called the iphone 7 or iphone 6s most people have their money on the latter, following Apple usual device patterns.
The updates are usually more about what inside the device than outside, with no significant design change for the device expected.
What likely to be includedthe big advancement with the iphone 6s we are likely to see is Force Touch screen technology reports Business Insider.
Apple has been putting a lot of emphasis on the iphone as a photography device, and that looking to take a step even further with the iphone 6s.
An employee of Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturing company who builds Apple iphones is claiming that the iphone 6s
and iphone 6s Plus will have 12mp rear cameras and support 4k video recording. This comes off the back of Apple acquiring a company in April
which specialises in smartphone cameras to match DSLR quality. It also lines up with reports from known Apple expert John Gruber,
who said that the iphone 6s will have he biggest camera jump ever, bringing it to DSLR quality.
In the longshot, but still possible category, we could see a cheaper iphone 6c, which will feature a plastic body like the iphone 5c but with the internal specs of the regular iphone 6
. What we won seewith Apple S cycles they never introduce radical new changes, so don expect any new screen sizes or a new design.
At best, they might introduce a new colour, but even that seems unlikely. Despite it being a favourite feature by Android users
it not believed that the iphone 6s will feature wireless charging, due to the company desire to create its own wireless standard.
If anything, thanks to our Aussie dollar we could see a price increase for 2015 iphones

Alphabet will be comprised of the core Google business including internet search, mapping and Youtube along with newer businesses that will be managed separately, such as Google Fiber, Nest and the investment arm Google Ventures.
Google CEO Page will become CEO of the new entity, with his cofounder Sergey Brin serving as president.
Longtime Google executive Sundar Pichai who has taken on increasingly important roles at the company in recent years,

and all shares of Google will automatically convert to shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights,
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:

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.
