Is Siri the Biggest Threat To Google?
Nov 6, 2011 -
In the words of Eric Schmidt in a reply he sent to the Senate Subcommittee USD for competition and consumer rights, the new technology introduced by Apple is a revolution that could threaten the Internet as research that it is currently experiencing and which is monopolized almost exclusively by ... Google. Do not they say that the best defense is attack?
In any case there is strong and Schmidt supports the Senate committee that while Google dominates the search market with 65% market share in the US (and even more in Europe: 94%), history shows that technologies adopted by the masses are often replaced at once by new models that did not exist a few years aupraravant.
Will Siri is a revolution that will change our lives in the coming years or do Schmidt added that the commission on competition leaves Google alone?
At this point it is somewhat difficult to determine clearly. If we are to believe Dan Kaplan in an exercise book on which it TechCrunch, Apple would have set foot in the research in April 2010 when it acquired the technology Siri for $ 200 million. Because Siri is much better than a passive search engine like Google. The wizard offers the solution to a question, not a list of answers among which to choose. Siri executes orders and carries out actions where Google stops at a list of results.
In fact, the service eliminates the steps that are no longer necessary to achieve a final result. As against the assistant has not its own database and search for answers on Google.
Future research will it be vocal?
The Google TV does not seem to be a revolution does leave room for an Apple TV without a remote control that responds to the voice?
And if the last words uttered by Steve Jobs before his death " Oh Wow, Oh Wow, Oh Wow "was a vision he had of the future with some ... SIRI, the Siri?
